CITIZEN PARTICIPATION FOLLOW-UP
Mayor Troxell requested input regarding Item No. 9, First Reading of Ordinance No. 066, 2015,
Authorizing the Conveyance of a Permanent Access Easement on City Property to the City of
Greeley. City Attorney Daggett replied a conveyance to the City was made in an eminent
domain proceeding in the late 1800’s by way of a court order. She acknowledged there is
language in the case and petition, as referenced by Mr. Sutherland, which creates some argument
as to the exact nature of the conveyed interest. The City has taken the position that there is a
strong argument that the City has an ownership in fee and has a right-of-way. Additionally, City

the project. The City received a federally funded grant through the North Front Range Metropolitan
Planning Organization (NFRMPO) for operational and safety improvements at the Vine Drive and
Shields Street intersection, previously appropriated through Ordinance No. 076, 2012. Building on
Basics (BOB) Intersection Funds and the Regional Road Impact Fee funds were used as matching

9. First Reading of Ordinance No. 066, 2015, Authorizing the Conveyance of a Permanent
Access Easement on City Property to the City of Greeley. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to authorize the conveyance of a permanent access easement to the City
of Greeley along a dirt road on City Property known as the City Ditch. The City conveyed easements
in 2014 to the City of Greeley (“Greeley”) to facilitate its Greeley Bellvue Pipeline Project (the
“Project”) across a strip of property owned by the City’s Utility Department located south of the
Poudre River and north of Bingham Hill Road, known as the City Ditch property. At that time,
Greeley was also in negotiations with the neighboring property owner for easements across their
property, including an access easement in order for Greeley to access the Project site. Greeley has
reached an agreement for possession of the easements needed from the neighboring property
owner; however, as part of that agreement, Greeley agreed to reroute its planned access route to
instead use the dirt road on the City Ditch property. As such, Greeley has requested a permanent
access easement for use of the dirt road on the City Ditch property to access its pipeline site.

DISCUSSION ITEMS
11. Resolution 2015-059 Adopting an Update to the Economic Health Strategic Plan for the City
of Fort Collins. (Adopted)
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of an update to the Economic Health
Strategic Plan previously approved by City Council on June 26, 2012 (Resolution 2012-044; Vote: 7-
0 in favor). The update responds to a City Council request to evaluate changes to the existing
strategic plan and seeks alignment with the objectives of the Sustainability Service Area (formed in
2012). The update introduces five themes around which to organize the City’s economic health
activities:
Community Prosperity
Grow Our Own
Place Matters
The Climate Economy
Think Regionally
Josh Birks, Economic Health Director, discussed the reasons for revisiting the Economic Health
Strategic Plan and stated this plan focuses on shaping the economy for the long-term, not
creating an economy in the short-term. He detailed the additions to and sections of the Plan as
well as the public outreach process.
Glen Colton stated he would have liked more time for the Economic Advisory Commission to to
provide input. He opposed the Plan as being a rapid growth and development plan and not
sustainable.
Eric Sutherland discussed the City Charter and community values.

City of Fort Collins Page 143
Councilmember Overbeck asked about concerns relating to this Plan from the Land Conservation
and Stewardship Board. Birks replied the Board did have some concerns, particularly relating to
the context of the Plan and the collective vision for the future. He stated this Plan should be
taken in context with the Plan Fort Collins approach and should be considered in concert with
other City plans.
Councilmember Overbeck asked when this Plan will be revisited. Birks replied the Plan will be
revisited in three to five years.
Councilmember Stephens requested details as to the changes made to certain goals in the Plan.
Birks replied the changes were made in response to some of the dialogue with the Economic
Advisory Commission.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Martinez, to adopt
Resolution 2015-059.
Councilmember Cunniff expressed concern regarding the environmental aspects of the Plan,
suggesting “Grow our Own” should be the primary goal of the Plan. He suggested an
environmental strategic plan should be created. City Manager Atteberry replied that plan is on
the work calendar.
Councilmember Campana commended staff work on the Plan.
Councilmember Martinez asked about Councilmember Cunniff’s suggestion that zero growth
should be the City’s goal. Councilmember Cunniff replied that goal is necessary for
sustainability.
Councilmember Martinez questioned how zero growth is a realistic goal.
Councilmember Campana commended the “community prosperity” section of the Plan.
Councilmember Stephens commended the “community prosperity” section, as well as the youth
component. Additional focus on the environment would be desirable in the future.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak noted this is an economic plan, not a population plan and commended it
as being realistic.

Service Standards for Cable Television.
The purpose of this item is to renew the Cable Franchise Agreement from the City of Fort Collins to
Comcast of California/Colorado LLC and establish new Customer Service Standards - Cable
Television. The current agreement will expire on July 31, 2015. Following extensive community
outreach, staff and Council identified a number of priorities for the negotiation process. With the
assistance of outside legal counsel, staff has negotiated a proposed 10-year agreement with
Comcast that addresses the majority of these priorities.
Dan Coldiron, Chief Information Officer, stated the scope of this agreement is limited to cable
television subscription services. He discussed the fees generated by cable subscribers and
detailed the public outreach process, the negotiation process and highlights of the agreement.
Councilmember Cunniff asked if additional outreach will occur prior to Second Reading on July
7th. Coldiron replied no additional outreach has been considered at this time.
Councilmember Martinez asked about annual reports. DiMartino replied Carson Hamlin is the
cable franchise administrator and he will be responsible for ensuring annual reports are solicited
consistently.
Councilmember Cunniff asked what methods of complaint will be summarized in Comcast's
reports. Carson Hamlin, Franchise Administrator, replied current quarterly reports list
complaints and resolutions and any complaints coming directly to the City are dealt with and
resolved as necessary.

information be visible and easily located. He asked about enforcement of these requests.
Coldiron replied the Government Affairs representative from Comcast is present. John
Leahman, Director of Government Affairs for Comcast, replied the limited basic package is
available on the Comcast website for Fort Collins. Posters are being designed and will be up in
the Fort Collins store on June 12th.
Councilmember Overbeck asked if these provisions are enforceable. Coldiron replied there is
recourse by the City in the case of a violation of the customer service standards; however, those
provisions are not specifically listed.
Councilmember Martinez asked if the information regarding the basic plan is required to be
located on the front web page. Coldiron replied that specific language is not part of the
agreement.
Councilmember Martinez asked about the possibility of creating a blog for issues relating to
Comcast and cable service. Coldiron replied that would be technically possible through the
City's website.

Ordinance No. 067, 2015, on First Reading.

discussed the importance of continuous public outreach.

13. First Reading of Ordinance No. 069, 2015, Amending Section 1.3.4 of the Land Use Code to
Exclude Certain Residential Zone Districts from the "Addition of Permitted Use" Process.
(Postponed Indefinitely)
The purpose of this item is to amend the Land Use Code so that the ability to apply the Addition of
Permitted Use process in nine zone districts would not be allowed.
Cameron Gloss, Planning Manager, discussed the prescriptive aspect of the City’s Land Use
Code. An APU (addition of a permitted use) is defined as adding a use which is permitted within
the Land Use Code but not within the specific zoning district of a certain parcel. Gloss discussed
the requirements for the APU process, which include the addition of a second neighborhood
meeting and additional approval criteria which requires a new APU process to be undertaken
when a change in conditions or operating characteristics occurs. Additionally, Gloss noted the
request before Council would eliminate APU from being possible in nine zoning districts. The
Planning and Zoning Board voted to postpone consideration of this request pending the City’s
examination of City Plan, scheduled for 2017.
Mike Knowles supported the request to exclude the APU process from the nine zoning districts
with single-family residential as a primary use.
June 2, 2015
City of Fort Collins Page 146
Paul Patterson supported the request to exclude the APU process from the nine zoning districts
with single-family residential as a primary use, citing the importance of predictability.
Michelle Haefele supported the request to exclude the APU process from the nine zoning
districts with single-family residential as a primary use.
Sally Lee supported the request to exclude the APU process from the nine zoning districts with
single-family residential as a primary use.
Gina Jannett supported the request to exclude the APU process from the nine zoning districts
with single-family residential as a primary use, citing the importance of predictability.
Eric Smith supported the request to exclude the APU process from the nine zoning districts with
single-family residential as a primary use.
Councilmember Cunniff requested additional information regarding the public engagement
process in 2008 when the APU process was changed. Gloss replied he was not on staff at that
point.
Councilmember Cunniff stated it did not appear there was much of a public outreach process.
Ted Shepard, Chief Planner, replied staff worked with the Planning and Zoning Board for over a
year and noted the Board initiated the concept in order to increase flexibility.
Mayor Troxell noted 75% of the requested APUs have been approved by the Planning and
Zoning Board. Shepard replied the process has been used judiciously and was designed to be
accompanied specifically by a project development plan submittal and cannot be speculative.
Mayor Troxell noted the staff recommendation is to postpone the item in order to consider the
issue in a broader context with City Plan. Gloss replied in the affirmative and noted extensive
public outreach occurs with long-range plans. There are many available techniques which would
aid in integrating mixed use within a neighborhood.
Councilmember Martinez asked how many times the APU process has been used since its
inception. Shepard replied two or three APUs were approved between 1997 and 2008, during
which time the process was only used for brand new unidentified uses. Since 2008, there have
been approximately twenty applications for APU.
Councilmember Campana stated there was opportunity for citizen comment during the 2008 time
period when the Planning and Zoning Board was considering this issue.
Councilmember Cunniff made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Overbeck, to adopt
Ordinance No. 069, 2015, on First Reading.
Councilmember Cunniff cited the increase in the rate of APU applications in his support of the
Ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak suggested the possibility of a moratorium to allow for a deliberative
process to occur during the review of City Plan.
Councilmember Martinez stated he would support a moratorium.
June 2, 2015
City of Fort Collins Page 147
Councilmember Cunniff asked how long a moratorium is being suggested. Mayor Pro Tem
Horak replied the moratorium would last until the review of City Plan is complete and Council
has taken action to remove the moratorium.
Councilmember Campana supported a moratorium as being a compromising solution.
Additionally, he stated a moratorium will allow policy to be set based on an educated position.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Martinez, to postpone
Ordinance No. 069, 2015 indefinitely, and request that the City Attorney prepare a moratorium
Ordinance for the APU process for the July 7th meeting.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he would not support the motion.
Mayor Troxell supported the moratorium stating it would focus discussion during the City Plan
process.

for Transfer to the Capital Projects Fund for the Lincoln Corridor Improvements Project and
Transferring Appropriations to the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund for the Art in Public
Places Program. (Adopted on First Reading)
The purpose of this item is to appropriate the remaining funding for design, right of way acquisition
and construction of the Lincoln Avenue Improvements from 1st Street to Lemay Avenue. The scope
of the proposed improvements is based on the concepts approved in the Lincoln Corridor Plan with a
reduced level of enhancement consistent with the proposed budget.
Based on the Lincoln Corridor Plan estimated cost of $19.3 million for the entire project from
Jefferson to Lemay, the cost to improve the section from 1st Street to Lemay Avenue is $8 million.
With the reduced level of enhancements currently approved, the project is estimated to cost $6.5
million. This Council action would appropriate $1,968,119 from General Fund Reserves.
Rick Richter, Director of Infrastructure Services, discussed the Lincoln Corridor Plan and noted
this project would fund the improvements for the section of Lincoln between Lemay and 1
st
. He
discussed the proposed street cross section and proposed implementation plan. This Ordinance
appropriates $1.97 million and would implement the Lincoln Corridor Plan with the reduced
enhancement level.
Councilmember Cunniff asked what portion of reserves this amount represents. John Voss,
Financial Services, replied the current prior year balance in general fund reserves is $2.5 million.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Campana, to adopt
Ordinance No. 070, 2015, on First Reading.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak requested additional fund balance details prior to Second Reading, but
stated he would support the Ordinance.

Utility Service Agreement between the City of Fort Collins Utilities and Colorado State University
(CSU). Under this IGA, CSU will agree to follow the standards, requirements, and conditions related
to stormwater management set forth in Chapter 26 of the City Code. The IGA establishes a baseline
of impervious area above which an additional Plant Investment Fee would be required for an
increase of impervious surface. Finally, CSU will be required to pay monthly Stormwater Utility Fees

provided on the CSU campus and the costs associated with the operation of CSU’s own Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4).
