The full grant application will develop a framework for cities to develop climate action plans and other planning efforts by systematically addressing mitigation, resilience, and equity within a single planning process. The technical assistance mini-grant, covered by this Ordinance, will convene the four total cities in November 2018 to develop the full proposal. This project will leverage and align with the City’s effort to update the Climate Action Plan and Energy Policy in 2019 and 2020 (Budget Offer 43.12). 8.

City of Fort Collins Page 5 10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 131, 2018, Amending Chapter 20 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Regarding Abatement of Nuisances. The purpose of this item is to clarify a possible ambiguity under the current Code. Section 20-44 will be amended to clarify that the notification requirements of that section apply only to the abatement of nuisance properties. Without the change, the current Code could be interpreted to mean Code Enforcement Officers must provide a violation notice before issuing a citation and before abating a property. This change will clarify that providing notice to property owners applies only to abatement, and not to the issuing of citations. 11. Public Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 132, 2018, Deciding Whether to Approve the Addition of a Permitted Use for 200 East Swallow to Allow Professional Office as a Use, APU 180001.

The APU would allow 100% of the house to be used for a professional office versus 50% which is allowed under the Home Occupation License. Approval of this item as part of the consent agenda represents approval of the requested APU pursuant by ordinance. If this item is pulled from the consent agenda and Council votes to deny the APU, staff will present an ordinance to deny the APU at the next regular Council meeting. 12. Resolution 2018-105 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with the City of Greeley and the Water Supply and Storage Company Regarding a Dam Breach Flood Inundation Mapping Study.

Fort Collins is collaborating with Greeley and WSSC to perform this State-required mapping on a total of ten reservoirs in the upper Cache la Poudre River basin. A consultant has been selected who will contract directly with Greeley, while Fort Collins and WSSC will be invoiced by Greeley for the portions of the work that affect their respective reservoirs. Fort Collins is saving considerable funds by collaborating with Greeley and WSSC to perform modelling and mapping on ten reservoirs versus modelling each reservoir individually. Each entity is also saving costs by applying for a grant from the State of Colorado that covers 50% of the costs of the project. 13. Resolution 2018-106 Submitting the College and Drake Existing Conditions Study and Urban Renewal Plan to the City's Planning and Zoning Board, the Larimer County Board of Commissioners and the Poudre School District, and Further Directing that the Urban Renewal Impact Study be Submitted to the Larimer County Board of Commissioners When Completed.
