SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 165, 2015, Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent Domain of Certain Lands
Necessary to Construct Public Improvements in Connection with the Lincoln Corridor Improvements Project –
Phase I.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to obtain authorization from City Council to use eminent domain, if deemed
necessary, to acquire property interests needed to construct improvements to Lincoln Avenue between the
Poudre River Bridge and Lemay Avenue. Lincoln Corridor Improvements Project - Phase I will construct road
and intersection improvements, multimodal enhancements, utility improvements, and access control
improvements in accordance with the Lincoln Corridor Plan. The project is planned to begin construction in the
summer of 2016 and be completed in 2017. To construct these improvements, the City will need to acquire
certain property interests adjacent to the project area. The acquisitions include right-of-way, permanent
easements, and temporary easements from eleven property owners. Timely acquisition of the property is
necessary to meet the anticipated construction schedule. Staff fully intends to negotiate in good faith with the
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 only if
such action is deemed necessary.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In 2014, the City developed the Lincoln Corridor Plan, which represented a 12-month planning effort to develop
the ultimate multi-modal roadway designed for Lincoln Avenue between Jefferson Street and Lemay Avenue
and to identify related neighborhood improvement projects. Key elements of the Plan within the scope of
Phase I of the corridor improvements include:
Two travel lanes
Buffered bike lanes
Wide sidewalks
Transit stops and shelters
Landscaped medians
Streetscape amenities such as gathering areas, lighting, and art in public places
Storm drainage enhancements
Agenda Item 13
Item # 13 Page 2
The goals of the Lincoln Corridor Plan and this project are:
Improve multi-modal mobility
Improve safety
Create an active street environment
The necessary property interests include right-of-way, as well as, permanent and temporary easements.
Given the construction schedule for the Project, timely acquisition of the property interests is necessary. Staff
has begun meeting with the affected property owners to discuss the project and the impacts to their property.
At the meetings, the property owners were notified that City staff would be requesting authorization to use
eminent domain to acquire necessary property interests, if needed. Staff fully intends to negotiate in good faith
with all affected owners; however, if an agreement cannot be reached with the owners, and in order to ensure
that the Project can proceed in an efficient and timely manner, the City may consider the use of eminent
domain.
The affected property owners were notified by certified mail of this request to Council for authorization of
eminent domain prior to the first reading of this Ordinance.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The project is funded with local funds.
1st Street to Lemay Avenue - Reduced Plan $6.5M approved by Council on Second Reading, July 7, 2015
(General Fund, street oversizing, and developer’s local street obligation).
Poudre River Bridge (includes bridge replacement and street segment to 1st Street) - Reduced Plan $5.3M
funded in 2016 and 2017 budgets (BOB 2.0).
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Numerous public meetings were held as part of the Lincoln Corridor Plan development. More information on
the Plan can be found at: <http://www.fcgov.com/planning/lincoln.php>

*The Fort Collins SAT was developed by modifying the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Analysis Tool developed by Eugene, Oregon, July 2009. 1
City of Fort Collins SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT TOOL (SAT)
(November 2014)
Creating a sustainable community
Plan Fort Collins is an expression of the community’s resolve to act sustainably: to systemically, creatively, and thoughtfully utilize environmental,
human, and economic resources to meet our present needs and those of future generations without compromising the ecosystems upon which we
depend.
How to use the tool
The Sustainability Assessment Tool (SAT) is designed to inform a deeper understanding of how policy and program choices affect the social
equity, environmental health and economic health of the community. The City of Fort Collins has developed a Sustainability Assessment
Framework that describes the purpose, objectives, and guidelines to assist City Program/Project Managers to determine:
• The process for cross-department collaboration in using the SAT
• Timing for applying a SAT
• When to apply a SAT
• How to document the results of the SAT and present at City Council Work Sessions and Regular Council Meetings
Further detailed guidance is available at: http://citynet.fcgov.com/sustainability/sustainabilityassessments.php
The SAT does not dictate a particular course of action; rather, the analysis provides policy makers and staff with a greater awareness of some
of the trade-offs, benefits and consequences associated with a proposal, leading to more mindful decision-making.
Brief description of proposal
Please provide a brief description of your proposal – 100 words or less
This council action item will authorize the use of eminent domain for the Lincoln corridor from the Poudre River bridge to Lemay Avenue.

Social Equity
Described: Placing priority upon protecting, respecting, and fulfilling the full range of universal human rights, including those pertaining to civil,
political, social, economic, and cultural concerns. Providing adequate access to employment, food, housing, clothing, recreational opportunities, a
safe and healthy environment and social services. Eliminating systemic barriers to equitable treatment and inclusion, and accommodating the
differences among people. Emphasizing justice, impartiality, and equal opportunity for all.
Goal/Outcome: It is our priority to support an equitable and adequate social system that ensures access to employment, food, housing, clothing,
education, recreational opportunities, a safe and healthy environment and social services. Additionally, we support equal access to services and
seek to avoid negative impact for all people regardless of age, economic status, ability, immigration or citizenship status, race/ethnicity, gender,
relationship status, religion, or sexual orientation. Equal opportunities for all people are sought. A community in which basic human rights are
addressed, basic human needs are met, and all people have access to tools and resources to develop their capacity. This tool will help identify how
the proposal affects community members and if there is a difference in how the decisions affect one or more social groups. Areas of consideration in
creating a vibrant socially equitable Fort Collins are: basic needs, inclusion, community safety, culture, neighborhoods, and advancing social equity.
