First Reading of Ordinance No. 077,2016, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the General Fund for
the Architectural Survey of the Loomis Addition in the Westside Neighborhood.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to appropriate unanticipated revenue received through a State Historical Fund

Loomis Addition in the Westside Neighborhood.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
This project builds upon a 2014 Certified Local Government grant from the State of Colorado for a historic
context of the Loomis Addition. Containing many of the oldest residential buildings in Fort Collins, the Loomis
Addition has seen a rapid increase in development pressure. In the last 10 years, permits for over 70
alterations and 25 demolitions have been issued in this 15-block area. The results of this architectural survey
will be used to promote awareness and pride within the neighborhood and will provide the City with the tools to
make informed planning decisions. The grant agreement between the State and the City was executed by the
City Manager in December 2015.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This State Historical Fund grant provides the City with $35,000, which is being matched with an equal amount
of City money through Keeping Fort Collins Great funds allocated for this purpose. Staff involvement is
confined to managing the grant project which is being accomplished with current staffing levels. The grant
period is December 3, 2015, through December 3, 2017.
