of Certain Lands Necessary to Construct Public Improvements in Connection with the Drake
and Shields Intersection Improvements Project. (Adopted)
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 16, 2014, authorizes the use
of eminent domain, if deemed necessary, to acquire property interests needed to construct
improvements at the Drake Road and Shields Street intersection. The Drake Road and Shields
Street Intersection Improvements Project will construct right turn lanes on northbound and
southbound Shields Street, bicycle lanes, and medians for safety and air quality improvements at the
intersection. The project is planned to begin construction in the summer of 2015. The project
budget consists of both federal and local funds. To construct these improvements, the City will need
to acquire certain property interests adjacent to the project area. The acquisitions include right-of-
way and temporary easements from three property owners. Timely acquisition of the property is
necessary to meet the anticipated construction schedule. Staff fully intends to negotiate in good faith
with all affected owners and is optimistic that all property negotiations can be completed prior to the
start of the project. Staff is requesting authorization of eminent domain for all property acquisitions
for the project to comply with federal acquisition requirements. Eminent domain action will be used
only if such action is deemed necessary.

of eminent domain, if necessary, to acquire property interests which are necessary to provide
intersection improvements at McClelland Drive and Drake Road in order to enhance safety and
service for the MAX Bus Rapid Transit System (MAX). As a federally funded transportation project,
acquisitions will conform to the provisions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisitions Policies Act of 1970, as amended (Public Law 91-646). In accordance with this act,
property owners must be informed about the possible use of eminent domain and their rights
pursuant to the act though an official Notice of Interest Letter. Authorization from City Council is
needed prior to sending this information to property owners. Staff requests authorization to utilize
eminent domain for the MAX Project, if necessary, and only if good faith negotiations break down.

$15,000 grant through the Sensible Transportation and Bicycle Advocacy initiative at New Belgium
Brewery for the 2015 Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program. This funding will allow the City’s
SRTS program (administered and staffed by FC Moves) to purchase strategic SRTS equipment for

11. Items Relating to the Capstone Cottages Plan Amendment to the City Structure Plan and East
Mulberry Corridor Plan Maps, and Rezoning. (Adopted on First Reading)
A. Resolution 2015-004 Amending the City’s Structure Plan Map.
City of Fort Collins Page 8
B. Resolution 2015-005 Amending the East Mulberry Corridor Plan Map.
C. First Reading of Ordinance No. 007, 2015, Amending the Zoning Map of the City by Changing the
Zoning Classification for that Certain Property Known as the Capstone Cottages Rezoning.
The purpose of this item is to amend the City Structure Plan Map and the East Mulberry Corridor
Plan Map, to change the land use designation of approximately 12.7 acres of land northeast of the
Lincoln Avenue/Lemay Avenue intersection from Industrial to Medium Density Mixed-Use
Neighborhood, rezone the property from the Industrial district (I) to the Medium Density Mixed Use
Neighborhood district (M-M-N) and rezone the abutting 0.070 acres of land from the M-M-N to the
Industrial District.
The requests are based on the Applicant’s proposal to develop a student oriented single-family
residential project; the Project Development Plan for the proposed project is in the process of being
reviewed by staff as part of a separate application.
On December 11, 2014, the Planning and Zoning Board voted (4-0) to support a recommendation to
City Council to approve the proposed Capstone Cottages plan amendment and rezoning.
Pete Wray, Senior Planner, stated this item includes three actions: a Resolution to amend the
East Mulberry Corridor Plan, a Resolution to amend the City Structure Plan, and a rezoning
Ordinance. He discussed the property in question and the effects of making these amendments.
Linda Ripley, Ripley Design, Inc., requested support of the proposed rezoning and discussed its
benefits and justification.
Matt Delich, Delich Associates, discussed a trip generation comparison analysis related to the
proposed zoning change
Mike Pruznick discussed the incompatibility of certain industrial uses with housing and
questioned whether or not this rezoning would adequately protect residents of the area.
Mayor Weitkunat requested staff input regarding buffer requirements for industrial uses. Wray
stated it would be difficult to develop the currently existing industrial parcels as platted.
Additionally, it would be difficult to provide a transition and buffer between land uses should
those parcels be developed as industrial. He stated consolidating these parcels into single
ownership would provide more opportunity to transition the intensity of residential land use,
housing types and buffer next to the industrial development near Webster and Duff Drive.
Councilmember Campana made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Troxell, to adopt
Resolution 2015-004.
Councilmember Cunniff expressed concern regarding keeping a balance between industrial and
residential uses in developable land.
Councilmember Campana stated additional housing in the area makes sense and stated the 12.7
acres in relation to the 845 acres is quite a small percentage of the industrial land inventory.
Councilmember Troxell supported the proposed rezoning as providing contiguity in the area.
Mayor Weitkunat stated this change is the result of changing dynamics and vision in the area and
supported the motion.
