(staff: Dean Klingner; 5 minute staff presentation; 1 hour discussion) Note: Additional information has been added as follow-up to discussion and questions since First Reading on May 17, 2016. The purpose of this item is to obtain authorization from City Council to use eminent domain, if necessary, to acquire property interests needed to construct improvements to the intersection of Prospect Road and College Avenue. This authorization is for the two residential properties at the east end of the project. Ordinance No. 043, 2016 was adopted on Second Reading on April 19, 2016, allowing City staff to begin the property acquisition process for the preferred alternative on the six commercial properties at this intersection. Staff delayed the residential properties approximately six weeks to allow additional design work and discussions with the property owners. The following work has been done recently in regards to the residential properties:  Council Work Session presentation and discussion on April 12, 2016, resulting in: o Majority support for dual westbound left turn lanes o Request to provide follow-up on additional design questions  Meeting with Mayor Pro Tem Horak, City Manager, City staff and affected property owners to discuss property owners requested design (April 25, 2016).  Memo to Council providing detailed analysis of the impacts and benefits of moving the roadway south to avoid wall impacts.  Support from Transportation Board and Bicycle Advisory Committee on staff’s preferred alternative.

(staff: Ted Shepard, Tom Leeson; 5 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 079, 2016, Amending Article XIV of Chapter 15 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Regarding Outdoor Vendors. B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 080, 2016, Amending Articles 3, 4 and 5 of the Land Use Code Regarding Outdoor Vendors. These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on June 21, 2016, amend the City Code and Land Use Code to update property owner and outdoor vendor requirements. The intent of the original 2012 Code provisions for outdoor vendor operations was to manage a mobile operation and address specific mobile vendor impacts and requirements as a temporary, accessory land use. The proposed changes clarify and distinguish between two primary outdoor vending operations, mobile and stationary, including land use locational requirements for vending on privately-owned lots. Both Ordinances have been amended since First Reading to provide that these amendments to the City Code and Land Use Code will not go into effect until January 15, 2017. This will give vendors and property owners six months to adjust their operations to these new regulations. 10. Items Relating to the Designation of the Coy Farmstead Woodward Technology Center, a Fort Collins Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins. (Option A or Option B) (staff: Karen McWilliams, Laurie Kadrich; 10 minute staff presentation; 2 hour discussion) A.

First Reading of Ordinance No. 088, 2016, Designating the Coy Farmstead Barn and Milk House Located on the Woodward Technology Center Subdivision as Individual Fort Collins Landmarks pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins.
