The purpose of this item is for City Council to consider approval of the Mulberry Metropolitan District Nos. 1
through 6 Consolidated Service Plan (the “Service Plan”). The developer of the proposed Mulberry
Development has submitted the Service Plan to support the proposed development of approximately 226
acres located in the northeast portion of the Fort Collins community near I-25 on the Mulberry Corridor. The
development is anticipated to include 1,600 residential units, up to 80,000 square feet of office, and up to
160,000 square feet of retail. The project has committed to provide 15 percent of housing units in a mix of for
rent and for sale affordable housing. A mill levy capped at 50.00 mills has been proposed to support the
funding of certain public improvements for the project.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The applicant for this Service Plan is Hartford Homes, a second-generation, family-owned home builder in
Northern Colorado with over 25 years of experience. Hartford Homes is proposing a mixed-use community as
a gateway to the Mulberry Corridor and Fort Collins just off of I-25. (Attachment 1) The development is
designed to align with the East Mulberry Corridor Plan and the metro districts are proposed to address road
and water infrastructure challenges with the site. The project is committed to 15 percent affordable housing
(241 units), on-site solar and providing additional commercial space for businesses. The overall community
design is meant to employ Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) principles in line with Smart Growth
concepts.
Agenda Item 25
Item # 25 Page 2
Project Overview
The developer of the proposed Mulberry Metro District has submitted a consolidated Service Plan for the
creation of six metro districts (the “Districts”) to support a potential development of approximately 226 acres
located north of Mulberry Street along both sides of Greenfields Drive (Attachment 1). The development is
anticipated to have 1,600 residences, including single-family detached, single-family attached, and multi-family
living options, of which a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) will be designated and sold as affordable (this is an
increase from the 10% commitment made in the City Council Finance presentation dated February 25,2019).
The estimated population at build-out is 4,000. The Preliminary Development Plan expects a neighborhood
town center and grocery store as well as 20-30 acres of retail, commercial, and office uses.
• Approximately 1,600 residential units (a mix of single-family and multi-family);
• Minimum of 15% affordable (241 units), an increase from the 10% commitment made in the City Council
Finance presentation dated February 25,2019.
• Up to +/- 160,000 SF of retail and commercial uses, including a neighborhood-scaled grocery store up to
50,000 SF
• Up to +/- 80,000 SF of office uses integrated into the market street
• Significant open space, including a range of features from amenitized parks to preservation of high-value
natural areas; and
• An extensive trail corridor and pedestrian network, providing both internal community connectivity and
walkability, as well as links to the surrounding Fort Collins community.
However, of the 226 acres to be developed, only 152 acres will be initially included in the Districts’ boundaries.
The other 74 acres are not currently within the City’s boundaries and, therefore, cannot now be included within
the Districts’ boundaries. However, Section V of the Service Plan allows for these 74 acres to be added to the
Districts’ boundaries when they are duly annexed into the City.
Inclusion Area
City Council can only approve a Service Plan that encompasses property wholly contained within the City
boundaries. The development proposed by Hartford Homes includes some land not currently in the City. This
land is located on the southern portion of the property and will need to be annexed prior to development. The
Service Plan handles this future activity by excluding the southern property from the district at formation.
However, the land is part of the Inclusion Area (referenced in the Definitions and Section V of the Service
Plan). The Service Plan allows for the real property in the Inclusion Area to be added to one or more of the
Districts after the property has been duly annexed into the City’s boundaries. This inclusion does not constitute
a modification of the plan and would not require further action by Council. This approach allows for the Council
to legally consider and approve the Service Plan covering the entirety of the proposed development at a single
time.
Council Finance Review Follow-Up - Affordable Housing
On February 25, 2019, the Council Finance Committee reviewed the proposed Service Plan for the Districts.
The Committee requested additional information on several items. Several of these questions dealt with
affordable housing:
What is the final commitment to affordable housing and what kinds of perpetuity commitments are going to be
made?
Hartford Homes has updated its final affordable housing commitment to 15 percent (241 units) of the total
number (1,600 units). This is up from 10 percent affordable housing that was proposed at Council Finance
Review.
Does Hartford Homes plan to integrate with a land trust?
Agenda Item 25
Item # 25 Page 3
No, they do not plan to utilize a land trust to deliver affordable housing.
How will Hartford Homes clarify their open space with the City’s Open Space program?
Hartford Homes has revised their designated “open space” to be called “green space” in order to avoid
confusion with the City’s Open Space program.
Service Plan Overview
The Service Plan calls for the creation of six Districts to work collaboratively to deliver the proposed Mulberry
development. The phased development is anticipated to occur over the next nine plus years and support an
estimated population of 4,000. A few highlights about the proposed Service Plan, include:
• Assessed Value - Estimated to be approximately $66 million in 2029 at full build-out
• Aggregate Mill Levy - 50 mills, subject to Gallagher Adjustments
• Debt Mill Levy - 40 mills, may not be levied until a Council-approved development agreement or
intergovernmental agreement has been executed that delivers the pledged public benefits
• Operating Mill Levy - Up to 50 mills to fund several on-going operations, such as, but not limited to
operating and maintaining: (i) the non-potable irrigation system, and (ii) landscaping. Once a District
imposes a Debt Mill Levy, such District’s Operating Mill Levy cannot exceed ten (10) mills at any point.
• Maximum Debt Authorization - Anticipated to be approximately $65 million to cover a portion of the
estimated $105 million in public improvement costs
• Regional Mill Levy - The regional Mill Levy is not counted against the Aggregate Mill Levy Maximum
A copy of the proposed Service Plan with redlined edits from the developer against the City’s model Service
Plan is attached for reference (Attachment 2).
Public Improvements
The Service Plan anticipates using the Debt Mill Levy to support the issuance of bonds in the maximum
amount of $65 million to fund all or a portion of the following $105 million in public improvements (details
available in Exhibit F of the Service Plan):
• Earthwork - Approximately $4.2 million in earthwork and site preparation costs associated with the
proposed project.
• Sanitary Sewer Improvements - Approximately $7.2 million in costs associated with constructing the
sanitary sewer infrastructure both on- and off-site for the project
• Water Improvements - Approximately $8.2 million in costs to construct potable water infrastructure both
on- and off-site supporting the project
• Non-potable Water - Approximately $4.6 million to construct a non-potable irrigation system to serve the
entire development - this infrastructure will significantly reduce the projects need to acquire water rights
and demand on potable water treatment facilities
• Storm Sewer Improvements - Approximately $6.1 million in costs to construct the main storm sewer
system and infrastructure for the project (costs associated with grading are included in the Earthwork
amount above)
• Concrete - Approximately $6.9 million in costs to construct concrete infrastructure for roads, trails and
sidewalks on the project
• Asphalt - Approximately $18.4 million in costs to construct asphalt infrastructure for streets and parking on
the project
• Erosion - Approximately $1.2 million in costs to ensure erosion control and maintenance on the project
• Landscaping - Approximately $4.4 million in costs for Cooper Slough improvement, neighborhood park
development, development of a pollinator corridor, and other landscaping
• Miscellaneous / Amenity - Approximately $39.0 million in miscellaneous costs associated with the project
The subtotal for basic costs associated with public improvements through the Metro Districts is approximately
Agenda Item 25
Item # 25 Page 4
$74.0 million; non-basic costs are approximately $30.7 million, which brings the project to an approximate total
of $105 million.
• Cooper Slough - The Cooper Slough creates several significant stormwater detention, retention, and
water quality issues across the site. These impacts are complicated by the fact that the slough is not
consolidated creating multiple entry points for water during a storm event. The net result is the need to
manage the stormwater on the site in a variety of ways that deal with off-site conditions. The development
plans to invest $500,000 in improvements to the Cooper Slough through the Metro Districts.
Public Benefits
• Affordable Housing - The financing and reimbursement options created by the Districts will enable the
Mulberry project to deliver a minimum of 241 units or 15% of the total project at affordable rates for
occupants at 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). These units will be delivered under the following
guidelines:
o For Sale: A minimum of 40 units (2.5%) will be for sale
o For Rent: Approximately 200 units (12.5%) are anticipated to be for rent
o Integrated / Dispersed Site: Approximately 40 units will be built as dispersed site, integrating
market rate and affordable housing. It is anticipated that affordable units will be same units as
market-rate and integrated along a block or product type
o Enforceability: Prior to or concurrent with the Development Agreement, the developer will
create legally enforceable guarantees for affordable housing commitments. Potential options
include, contract with City for Land Bank, deed restriction, reservation of acreage
• Community Gateway - Per the East Mulberry Corridor Plan, this property is uniquely positioned to provide
a gateway to Fort Collins from I-25. Two small parcels have been created within the boundaries of the
proposed Mulberry community and provides an ideal site for a significantly scaled, iconic City monument.
The proposed project would be dedicating $1.25 million in foregone land value and $500,000 for the entry
feature. This would reinforce the role of this property being a significant part of a gateway to the City of
Fort Collins from I-25.
• Non-Potable Water System - The development will include the construction and maintenance of a non-
potable water system for community-wide landscaping and landscaping on individual lots. The proposed
non-potable water system for the project will lead to a significant reduction in potable water demand when
compared to similar communities, while simultaneously reducing the monthly costs of homeownership.
• Environmental Sustainability - Throughout the community, environmentally friendly design will promote
Fort Collins sustainability goals. Xeric landscaping and use of non-potable irrigation will conserve water,
while landscape architecture designed to support the flight distances and migration patterns of applicable
pollinators will increase the biodiversity of the area. A commitment to 800 kW of solar capacity generated
within and distributed throughout the development will further promote resource conservation and
renewable energy use.
• Economic Health Outcomes - The development will help retain existing businesses by providing an
appropriate gateway to the northern portions of the City, which is currently lacking. As discussed above,
the site planning, construction methods, and overall design of the community are intended to create an
attractive, attainable, affordable, and diverse place to live, work, and play. Additionally, the retail,
commercial, and office uses within the mixed-use community center will provide space for potential
business growth and the opportunity for additional tax revenues to the City. The community is uniquely
situated to enhance both the built environment of the Corridor and the natural environment of Lake Canal
and Cooper Slough. A healthy balance of the natural and the urban is critical to attracting the dynamic
employment base and workforce Fort Collins seeks. However, this does not guarantee business,
employment or sales tax growth.
The developer estimates a public benefit value of approximately $79.3 million, outlined in Table 1.

The proposed Service Plan prohibits the issuance of any debt or imposition of the debt mill levy or fees to pay
debt unless and until the delivery of the Public Benefits are secured for each development phase of the project
in a manner that is approved by City Council, as outlined in the February 2019 updated City Metro District
Policy. This requirement can be satisfied by one or both of the following methods, as applicable:
• Intergovernmental Agreement - For any of the Public Benefits to be provided by one or more of the
Districts, each such District must enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the City agreeing to
provide those Public Benefits as a legally enforceable multiple-fiscal year obligation of the District under
TABOR or by securing performance of that obligation with a surety bond, letter of credit or other security
acceptable to the City and all such intergovernmental agreements must be approved by the City Council
by resolution;
• Approved Development Plan - For any of the Public Benefits to be provided by one or more Developers
of the Planned Development, each such Developer must enter into a development agreement with the City
under the Developer’s applicable Approved Development Plan, which agreement must legally obligate the
Developer to provide those Public Benefits before the City is required to issue building permits and/or
certificates of occupancy for structures to be built under the Approved Development Plan for that phase of
the Planned Development or to secure such obligations with a surety bond, letter of credit or other security
acceptable to the City and all such development agreements must be approved by the City Council by
resolution.
Public Benefits and Triple Bottom Line
The proposed update to the policy supports the formation of a metro district regardless of development type
when a district delivers extraordinary public benefits. The public benefits should be: (1) aligned with the goals
Agenda Item 25
Item # 25 Page 7
and objectives of the City whether such extraordinary public benefits are provided by the metro district or by
the entity developing the metro district because metro districts exist to provide public improvements; and (2)
not be practically provided by the City or an existing public entity, within a reasonable time and on a
comparable basis. The Service Plan for the Mulberry project delivers several proposed public benefits (see
Attachment 3).
Triple Bottom Line - Scan
An interdisciplinary staff team prepared a Triple Bottom Line Scan (TBL-S) of the initially proposed Service
Plan (see Attachment 4). The updated, currently proposed version of the Service Plan took the
recommendation of the TBL-S team and increased the affordable housing commitment to 15%. The net
analysis is generally neutral to slightly positive. The highlights are provided below:
• Economic - The proposed affordable housing is expected to have a positive impact on retaining and
attracting talent to strengthen our local labor force for employers. The additional office and retail space is
expected to have positive effects in Fort Collins market.
• Environmental - Some benefit is expected from the proposed 800 kW of solar, but over the proposed
environmental public benefits were interpreted as weak by staff under the current proposal. Additional
clarity is needed to assess any improved benefit.
• Social - This area is expected to have the most positive impact due to the commitments to affordable
housing. The proposal could be strengthened with a greater focus on affordable housing (e.g. 15%
affordable) and clearer expectations around deed restriction over time.
Financial Assessment
The Metro District Policy requires all applications for a metro district service plan submit a Financial Plan to the
City for review. Economic & Planning Systems prepared an analysis of the Financial Plan submitted with the
Service Plan for the Districts. (Attachment 5) The analysis concluded:
• The proposed mill levies are in line with the City’s policy.
• The market values used in the public revenue estimates are reasonable.
• EPS expressed concern about residential absorption of Mulberry in the context of other new North College
developments: Waterfield, Water’s Edge, and Montava.
• EPS believed the retail program is oversized for the residential development alone. To succeed the retail
will have to be more regionally-serving.
• Office absorption rates are reasonable, but some concern was expressed due to the office market in North
Fort Collins being currently immature.
• EPS found it difficult to assess if there would be “extraordinary benefits” with the following: added utility
services, non-potable irrigation system, and affordable housing.
Basic Infrastructure and Public Benefit
The Metro District Policy allows a metro district to fund “basic infrastructure”, that which is typically expected to
be provided by a developer (both in type and magnitude), when the inclusion of “basic” infrastructure offsets
higher costs associated with extraordinary development outcomes that cannot directly be provided by a metro
district (Defined in Exhibit A of the Metro District Policy, e.g., rooftop solar, affordable housing, etc.).
The Developer has identified $68.7 million in public benefits which are outlined in Table 1. After reviewing the
Service Plan, estimated public benefits, and the maximum debt authorization of $65 million, staff recommends
approval of the Service Plan.
Estimated Property Taxes
Table 3 shows the property tax estimates by proposed unit type for the proposed Districts. The average
increased cost to a home owner is approximately $150.42 per month on the high end and $33.09 per month for
Agenda Item 25
Item # 25 Page 8
the affordable housing. This amount will vary over time based on the underlying assessed value as determined
by the County Assessor.

CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The proposed Service Plan will not have an impact on the City’s financials. The applicant has paid the fees
required under the City’s Metro District Policy, which fees are designed to offset the cost of staff and outside
consultant review. In addition, the proposed Service Plan includes a requirement that the following notice be
included in all debt issued by the Districts:
“By acceptance of this instrument, the owner of this Debt agrees and consents to all of the
limitations with respect to the payment of the principal and interest on this Debt contained
herein, in the resolution of the District authorizing the issuance of this Debt and in the Service
Plan of the District. This Debt is not and cannot be a Debt of the City of Fort Collins.”

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose and Intent.
The Districts, which are intended to be independent units of local government separate
and distinct from the City, are governed by this Service Plan, the Special District Act and
other applicable State law. Except as may otherwise be provided by State law, City Code or
this Service Plan, the Districts’ activities are subject to review and approval by the City
Council only insofar as they are a material modification of this Service Plan under C.R.S.
Section 32-1-207 of the Special District Act.
It is intended that the Districts will provide all or part of the Public Improvements for
the Project for the use and benefit of all anticipated inhabitants and taxpayers of the
DistrictDistricts. The primary purpose of the Districts will be to finance the construction of
these Public Improvements by the issuance of Debt.
It is also intended under this Service Plan that no District shall be authorized to issue
any Debt, impose a Debt Mill Levy, Operating Mill Levy or impose any Fees for payment of
theon Debt unless and until the delivery of the applicable Public Benefits described in Section
IV.B. of this Service Plan has been secured in accordance with Section IV.B. of this Service
Plan.
It is further intended that this Service Plan also requires the Districts to pay a portion of
the cost of the Regional Improvements, as provided in Section X of this Service Plan, as part of
ensuring that those privately-owned properties to be developed in the DistrictDistricts that benefit
from the Regional Improvements pay a reasonable share of the associated costs.
The Districts are not intended to provide ongoing operations and maintenance services
except as expressly authorized in this Service Plan.
It is the intent of the Districts to dissolve upon payment or defeasance of all Debt incurred
or upon a court determination that adequate provision has been made for the payment of all Debt,
except that if the Districts are authorized in this Service Plan to perform continuing operating or
maintenance functions, the Districts shall continue in existence for the sole purpose of providing
such functions and shall retain only the powers necessary to impose and collect the taxes or Fees
authorized in this Service Plan to pay for the costs of those functions.
It is intended that the Districts shall comply with the provisions of this Service Plan
and that the City may enforce any non-compliance with these provisions as provided in
SectionSections XVII and XVIII of this Service Plan.

There are currently no other governmental entities, including the City, located in the
immediate vicinity of the Districts that consider it desirable, feasible or practical to undertake the
planning, design, acquisition, construction, installation, relocation, redevelopment and financing
of the Public Improvements needed for the Project. Formation of the Districts is therefore
necessary in order for the Public Improvements required for the Project to be provided in the most
economic manner possible.
C. Objective of the City Regarding Districts’ Service Plan.
The City’s objective in approving this Service Plan is to authorize the Districts to provide
for the planning, design, acquisition, construction, installation, relocation and redevelopment of
the Public Improvements from the proceeds of Debt to be issued by the Districts but in doing so,
to also establish in thisthe Service Plan the means by which both the Regional Improvements and
the Public Benefits will be provided. Except as specifically provided in this Service Plan, all Debt
is expected to be repaid by taxes and Fees imposed and collected for no longer than the Maximum
Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term for residential properties, and at a tax mill levy no higher than
the Maximum Debt Mill Levy. Fees imposed for the payment of Debt shall be due no later than
upon the issuance of a building permit unless a majority of the Board which imposes such a Fee is
composed of End Users as provided in Section VII.B.2 of this Service Plan.. Debt which is issued
within these parameters and, as further described in the Financial Plan, will insulate property
owners from excessive tax and Fee burdens to support the servicing of the Debt and will result in
a timely and reasonable discharge of the Debt.
D. Relevant Intergovernmental Agreements.
[Add description of any relevant intergovernmental agreements.]
E. D. City Approvals.
Any provision in this Service Plan requiring “City” or “City Council” approval or consent
shall require the City Council’s prior written approval or consent exercised in its sole discretion.
Any provision in this Service Plan requiring “City Manager” approval or consent shall require the
City Manager’s prior written approval or consent exercised in the City Manager’s sole discretion.

initiate redevelopment of Mulberry Corridor to meet the City’s high development standards and
catalyze redevelopment in the surrounding areas by incorporating several critical City objectives
and plans into the Planned Development. The Planned Development incorporates the goals of the
following plans: the East Mulberry Corridor Plan, the City’s Transportation Master Plan, the City’s
Master Street Plan, the Nature in the City Strategic Plan, the City Structure Plan, the Natural Areas
Master Plan, and the Paved Recreational Trail Master Plan.
The current Preliminary Development Plan for the Planned Development includes
approximately 1,600 residences, including single-family detached, single-family attached, and
multi-family living options, of which a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) will be designated and
sold or leased as affordable. In addition, the Developer intends to implement design standards,

construction strategies, and innovative land planning to lower the overall cost of housing in the
community. The estimated population at build-out is 4,000.
In addition, the current Preliminary Development Plan for the Planned Development
provides for a neighborhood town center with a central pedestrian-oriented market street acting as
the continuation of the central north-south greenway running through the community, which shall
include: (i) approximately 20-30 acres of retail, commercial, and office uses; (ii) approximately
230,000 square feet of retail and commercial uses, including a neighborhood-scaled grocery store;
and (iii) approximately 86,000 square feet of office uses integrated into the market street. The
Planned Development also provides for significant open space, including amenitized parks and
natural areas, and an extensive trail corridor and pedestrian network which will provide internal
community connectivity and walkability as well as links to the surrounding Fort Collins
community.
Construction of the Mulberry Development is planned to be completed by year 2028. In
accordance with the Financial Plan, the estimated assessed valuation of the Planned Development
in 2024 is estimated to be $14,955,749 for residential and $0.00 for commercial, and in 2029 it is
estimated to be $41,584,214 for residential and $23,688,792 for commercial.

Plan: (i) the design, phasing of construction, location and completion of Public Improvements will
be determined by the Districts to coincide with the phasing and development of the Planned
Development and the availability of funding sources; (ii) the Districts may, in their discretion,
phase the construction, completion, operation, and maintenance of Public Improvements or defer,
delay, reschedule, rephase, relocate or determine not to proceed with the construction, completion,

constitute a Service Plan Amendment; and (iii) the DistrictDistricts shall also be permitted to
allocate costs between such categories of the Public Improvements as deemed necessary in itstheir
discretion.
The Public Improvements shall be listed using an ownership and maintenance matrix in
Exhibit EF, either individually or categorically, to identify the ownership and maintenance

This Section IX of the Service Plan describes the nature, basis, method of funding and
financing limitations associated with the acquisition, construction, completion, repair,
replacement, operation and maintenance of Public Improvements.
A. Financial Plan.
The Districts’ Financial Plan, attached as Exhibit JH and incorporated by reference,
reflects the Districts’ anticipated schedule for incurring Debt to fund Public Improvements in
support of the Project. The Financial Plan also reflects the schedule of all anticipated revenues
flowing to the Districts derived from the Districts’ mill levies, Fees imposed by the Districts,
specific ownership taxes, and all other anticipated legally available revenues. The Financial Plan
is based on economic, political and industry conditions as they presently exist and reasonable
projections and estimates of future conditions. These projections and estimates are not to be
interpreted as the only method of implementation of the District’s goals and objectives but rather
a representation of one feasible alternative. Other financial structures may be used so long as they
are in compliance with this Service Plan. The Financial Plan incorporates all of the provisions of
this ArticleSection IX.
Based upon the assumptions contained therein, the Financial Plan projects the issuance of
Bonds to fund Public Improvements and anticipated Debt repayment based on the development
assumptions and absorptions of the property in the Service Area by End Users. The Financial Plan
anticipates that the Districts will acquire, construct, and complete all Public Improvements needed
to serve the Service Area.
The Financial Plan demonstrates that the Districts will have the financial ability to
discharge all Debt to be issued as part of the Financial Plan on a reasonable basis. Furthermore,
the Districts will secure the certification of an External Financial Advisor who will provide an
opinion as to whether such Debt issuances are in the best interest of the Districts at the time of
issuance.
B. Mill Levies.
It is anticipated that the Districtseach District will impose a Debt Mill Levy and an
Operating Mill Levy on all property within the Service Areaits boundaries. In doing so, the
following shall apply:
1. Aggregate Mill Levy Maximum
The Aggregate Mill Levy shall not exceed in any year the Aggregate Mill Levy
Maximum, which is fifty (50) mills.
2. Regional Mill Levy Not Included in Other Mill Levies
The Regional Mill Levy shall not be counted against the Aggregate Mill Levy
Maximum.

The DistrictsEach District may each impose an Operating Mill Levy of up to fifty (50)
mills until the DistrictsDistrict imposes a Debt Mill Levy. Once a District imposes a
Debt Mill Levy of any amount, that District’s Operating Mill Levy shall not exceed ten
(10) mills at any point.
4. Gallagher Adjustments
In the event the State’s method of calculating assessed valuation for the Taxable
Property changes after January 1, [current year]2019, or any constitutionally mandated
tax credit, cut or abatement takes effect after January 1, 2019, the Districts’District’s
Aggregate Mill Levy, Debt Mill Levy, Operating Mill Levy, and Aggregate Mill Levy
Maximum, amounts herein provided may be increased or decreased to reflect such
changes; such increases or decreases shall be determined by the Districts’
BoardsDistrict’s Board in good faith so that to the extent possible, the actual tax
revenues generated by such mill levies, as adjusted, are neither enhanced nor
diminished as a result of such change occurring after January 1, [current year].2019.
For purposes of the foregoing, a change in the ratio of actual valuation to assessed
valuation will be a change in the method of calculating assessed valuation.
5. Excessive Mill Levy Pledges
Any Debt issued with a mill levy pledge, or which results in a mill levy pledge, that
exceeds the Aggregate Mill Levy Maximum or the Maximum Debt Mill Levy
Imposition Term, shall be deemed a material modification of this Service Plan and shall
not be an authorized issuance of Debt unless and until such material modification has
been approved by a Service Plan Amendment.
6. Refunding Debt
The Maximum Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term may be exceeded for Debt refunding
purposes if: (1) a majority of the issuing District’s Board is composed of End Users
and have voted in favor of a refunding of a part or all of the Debt; or (2) such refunding
will result in a net present value savings.
7. Maximum Debt Authorization
The Districts anticipate approximately [Dollar Amount]$104,712,037 in project costs
in [Year]2019 dollars as set forth in Exhibit EF and anticipate issuing approximately
[Dollar Amount] in$65,000,000 in total cumulative Debt to pay such costs as set forth
in Exhibit JH, which Debt issuance amount shall be the amount of the Maximum Debt
Authorization. , provided, however, if the Inclusion Area is added to the Districts’
boundaries, the Maximum Debt Authorization shall be $75,000,000. The request for
the additional debt authorization will allow for contingencies and financing variations
based upon changes to construction costs, development build out and absorption of the
Inclusion Area. In addition, theadditional debt capacity is needed for the development
of Public Improvements in the Inclusion Area which have not been included in the
financial and capital projections. In addition, a District shall not issue any Debt unless

instrumentsBonds which have been refunded shall not count against the Maximum
Debt Authorization. The Districts must obtain from the City Council a Service Plan

The DistrictsEach District shall retain an External Financial Advisor to provide a written
opinion on the market reasonableness of the interest rate on any Debt and any underwriter discount
payedpaid by the DistrictsDistrict as part of a Debt financing transaction. The DistrictsDistrict

Metro District Proposal: Hartford Homes
Service Plan proposal to create a metro district off of I-25 just north of Mulberry Street along both sides
of Greenfields Drive. The developer proposes that metro district tax benefits make it easier for the
Hartford Homes to create increased public benefits in the areas of infrastructure, smart growth,
affordable housing, attainable housing, and building with environmental sustainability practices. This
scan assumes that development would happen regardless of the Metro District and analyzes the impact
of a metro district compared to a business-as-usual development scenario.
Positive
• The proposed 800 KW of solar PV
would reduce GHG emissions,
though the impact on the City’s
CAP would be minor
• The non-potable irrigation system
could reduce water consumption
depending on resident responses
and behavior change
• Pollinator corridor could improve
resilience of ecosystem services by
providing habitat and resources for
pollinators.
Negative
• None Identified
Positive
• The 160 affordable housing units
could support retention and
attraction of Fort Collins workforce
• Affordable housing units could
minorly help to reduce cost of living
pressures
• The development proposes a sign
and landscaping area that will
welcome those coming into Fort
Collins via I-25, this could benefit
our community brand.
Negative
• None Identified
Positive
• The proposed 160 affordable
housing units directly increase the
housing stock of affordable and
attainable housing.
• Affordable housing units could
benefit low-income community
members feeling a better sense of
belonging in Fort Collins
• Could benefit the economic
conditions of low-income community
members
• Affordable housing indirectly benefits
the support of self-sufficiency
Negative
• None Identified
Tradeoffs
• While there are obvious benefits of affordable housing to economic and social sustainability, the environmental benefits
proposed are not as strong as they could be.
Mitigations
• The Service Plan could benefit from either strengthening a particular focus area (e.g. focusing on 15% affordable
housing) and letting go of the focus on other areas.
• OR The Service Plan could benefit from committing to more specific environmental public benefits (e.g. DOE Net Zero
Ready homes, LEED standards, EV charging infrastructure that goes beyond code, etc.)
Metro District Proposal: Hartford Homes
• Impacts within environmental and economic areas are neutral to positive and largely
indirect. This is because Hartford Homes’s proposal demonstrates some benefits to
these areas. Their proposal does beyond basic in a handful of areas.
• The social impacts were strongest; they were more direct and positive because of the
promise of 10% affordable housing.

Subject: Mulberry Metro District Market and Financial Review
EPS #193012
Date: February 11, 2019
This memorandum summarizes Economic & Planning System’s
(EPS) evaluation of the Financial Plan section of the Consolidated
Service Plan (Service Plan) for the Mulberry Metropolitan Service
District (District). The City is required to approve the Service
Plan for a Title 32 Metropolitan District prior to it being submitted
for a vote by the electorate of the district. EPS’s third-party
evaluation includes a review of the market and financial
assumptions underlying the application as well as the feasibility
of the District’s Financial Plan, including public revenue and bond
proceed forecasts. The evaluation also reviews the proposal
against the City’s metro district public benefit policy requirements.
Development Program
Mulberry is a proposed 226-acre mixed-use community in North
Fort Collins located between E. Vine Drive to the north, Colorado
Hwy 14 (Mulberry) to the south, S. Timberline Road to the west,
and I-25 frontage roads to the east, near the intersection of
Frontage Road N. and Dawn Avenue, as shown Figure 1 at the
end of this section.
The proposed project contains a mix of residential and
commercial uses; the residential component includes both single
and multifamily homes as well as for-sale and rental product,
and the commercial component includes community serving
retail and office uses. The project is projected to be completed
over the next nine years; at which time, it is forecasted to
include 1,600 housing units and approximately 316,000 square
feet of commercial space.

The Developer provided a preliminary development program to D.A. Davidson, the
District’s bond underwriter, as shown in Table 1. This preliminary program includes:
• 240 cluster homes with a projected market value of $350,000. Cluster or patio homes
are higher density, attached single family houses.
• 240 single family – alley loaded homes with a projected market value of $450,000.
These homes will be higher density than a traditional single family home with garages
that are accessed through an alley, allowing for smaller lots.
• 240 single family – traditional homes with a projected market value of $500,000.
• 120 townhomes with a projected market value of $475,000.
• 260 condominiums with a projected market value of $300,000.
• 316,000 square feet of commercial space with a projected market value of $220 per
square foot. The D.A. Davidson projections do not distinguish between the type of
commercial space, but the District proposal suggests that 86,000 square feet will be
office and 230,000 square feet will be community serving retail.

The proposed buildout of the Mulberry development is estimated to take place over a
9-year period from 2019 to 2027, as shown in Table 2. In total, the Developer proposes
to build an average of 229 residential units per year from 2019 to 2027. The proposed
commercial development is projected to occur in 2025 and 2026 as shown.
The project is shown with the initial development focused on 550 apartments in 2021
(240 market rate and 300 affordable). For sale housing is also planned for development
starting in 2021 with 120 units in the three single family detached categories. The
remaining 480 single family units are expected to be built the following five years (2022
to 2026). The last phase of the project is the townhomes and condominiums, and
commercial development built in 2025 to 2027 as shown.
It is important to note that this preliminary program is used as inputs into D.A. Davidson’s
estimate of bond proceeds and draft bond series offerings. As the basis for the Financial
Plan, EPS focused its market assessment on these inputs.

Metro District Proposal
Summary
The Service Plan proposes to form six separate metro districts. The districts will have the
ability to impose an aggregate mill levy of 50 mills, which includes a Debt Mill Levy and
an Operating Mill Levy. The Operating Mill Levy can equal up to 50 mills until the District
imposes a Debt Mill Levy, at which point the Operating Mill Levy cannot exceed 10 mills.
While District levies are capped at 50 mills, the Service Plan allows for adjustments to the
mill levies in the event that there are changes to the method of calculating assessed
value or any other changes impacting the revenue generating capabilities of the District.
In such cases, the District may increase or decrease mill levies to ensure that actual tax
revenues generated are not diminished. This ability helps to further guarantee future
revenue streams and reduce the risk for bond holders.
The Debt Mill Levy is expected to be used to finance public improvements listed in Exhibit
F of the Service Plan. The financial projections are based on a debt mill levy of 40 mills
for residential and 20 mills for commercial districts. In total, the Developer anticipates
issuing approximately $64 million in debt to fund a portion of these public improvement
costs. The Developer’s engineering consultant estimates that the total cost of the public
improvements will be approximately $104 million.
Metro District Policy
In August 2018, the City updated its policy originally adopted in 2008 for reviewing
proposed metro district service plans. The new policy removes previous limitations for
metro district to be 90 percent commercial and not to be used to fund “basic
infrastructure improvements normally required from new development”. In their place,
the policy requires that developers deliver “extraordinary public benefits” to the City. In
addition, the new policy increased the recommended maximum mill levy for both debt
service and O&M to 50 mills—up from 40 mills in the 2008 resolution. The proposed
Mulberry maximum aggregate mill levy of 50 mills is in-line with this recommended
maximum mill levy.

Market Assessment
This section reviews market values and buildout/absorption assumptions used to estimate
the potential public financing revenues and debt capacity of the project, as described in
the proposed Financial Plan. The section is organized into the residential and commercial
land uses. The residential section, further delineates between for-sale and rental product,
and the commercial section delineates between proposed office and retail uses.
Residential
Market Values
To help determine their reasonableness, EPS compared the market value assumptions
used the in the Financial Plan’s debt capacity estimates with recent sales in Fort Collins.
In addition, EPS compared Mulberry’s proposed market values with other comparable
developments in the Fort Collins area.
For-Sale
The Developer’s proposed market values fall near the average of recent sales in the Fort
Collins market. The Fort Collins Board of Realtors (FCBR) reports that the average price
of a single family home sold in Fort Collins in 2018 was $454,527 and that the average
price of a townhome/condo was $308,946, as shown in Table 3.
• Cluster Home: The Financial Plan uses a market value of $350,000 or 23.0 percent
less than the average of recent sales. Given that cluster homes are typically smaller
and denser than a single family home, and potentially more similar to a townhome, a
market value assumption less than the current single family average in Fort Collins
but greater than the townhome/condo average seems reasonable.
• Single Family – Alley Loaded: The Financial Plan uses a market value of $450,000
or 1.0 percent less than the average of recent sales. As a result, the proposed values
are in line with market averages.
• Single Family – Traditional: The Financial Plan uses a market value of $500,000 or
10 percent higher than the average of recent sales. The market average sales price
includes both new construction sales and sales of older, existing homes. A premium
for new construction in Mulberry is to be expected. In EPS’s professional experience,
a 10 percent premium for the new construction sales is within an acceptable range.
• Townhomes: The Financial Plan uses a market value of $475,000 or 53.7 percent
higher than the average of recent townhome/condo sales. As with single family
traditional homes, new construction townhomes will trade at a premium. Moreover,
the recent average sales price includes condo sales, which may bring down the
average when looking at townhome sales alone. While perhaps higher than average,
in EPS’s professional experience, the market values are within an acceptable range.
• Condos: The Financial Plan uses a market value of $300,000 or 2.9 percent less than
the average of recent sales. As a result, the proposed values are in line with market
averages.

Table 3. Proposed Mulberry Market Values Compared to Fort Collins Average Prices
This section compares Mulberry to other recent for-sale residential projects in the North
Fort Collins market area. This comparison reveals that Mulberry’s price points for single
family homes largely overlap with the price ranges proposed in recent residential
projects, as shown Table 4 and Figure 2. At a proposed 1,600 units, however, Mulberry
would be one of the largest residential development projects in Fort Collins.

Figure 2. Price Range in Comparable Residential Projects and Mulberry
Rental – Market Rate
The Mulberry Financial Plan assumes that the market rate apartments in the development
will have a market value of $205,000 per unit. To benchmark this assumption, EPS
compared it to the historical five-year average sales price per unit of apartments in Fort
Collins and to the capitalized value of apartments. Capitalized value was calculated by
dividing the five-year average rent by the five-year average capitalization rate in the Fort
Collins market. As shown in Table 5, the five-year average sales price was approximately
$194,000 per unit or 6 percent less that the market value assumption, and the
capitalization value was $228,000 or 11 percent more than the market value assumption.
As a result of these comparison, EPS concludes that the market value used in the
Financial Plan falls within an acceptable range and is appropriate.

Rental – Affordable
The development program in Table 1 shows 300 affordable apartments with no
specifications on the level of affordability. Exhibit I of the District Plan indicates 10
percent of the total 1,600 residential units or 160 units will be affordable between 60 and
120 percent of the area median income (AMI).
Table 6 compares the LIHTC maximum rates as set by CHFA for different sized units and
different AMI levels with market rate rents in Fort Collins. (The AMI of, for example, a
family of four in Larimer County is $85,100, which is high compared to many other
counties in Colorado.) At 80 percent of AMI and higher, the affordable rents are actually
higher than the current market as shown in Figure 3. Above 60 percent, the affordable
units will have a similar value to the market rate units. To provide true benefit to the
community, EPS recommends that any units designated as affordable be priced at 60
percent of AMI or lower.

Absorption
EPS compared the planned buildout to forecast future demand for specific housing
products. We calculated future housing demand as part of our work on the update to Fort
Collins City Plan, organizing these estimates into low density (single family homes),
middle density (2- to 20-unit buildings), and high density (20 or more unit buildings)
housing products. (More detail on EPS’s housing demand estimate is shown in Table 8 on
the following page.) Based on this comparison, EPS calculated an implied capture rate by
Mulberry to gain a perspective on the size and reasonableness of the proposed building
plan.
From 2016 to 2040, EPS estimates that there will be a demand of 570 low density units
and 700 middle and high density units per year, for a total annual average of 1,270 units.
In comparison, the Developer proposes to develop the Mulberry project at an average of
97 low density per year (cluster and single family homes) and 131 middle density units
(multifamily and townhomes) from 2019 to 2027. This development schedule implies a
capture rate of 17 percent for low density products and 52 percent for middle density units.
In total, the proposed schedule implies a 28 percent capture rate. A capture rate of 28
percent is a significant portion of the residential development market in the Fort Collins
market, and may be relatively aggressive. Overall, it is a large and ambitious
development, and its success depends on its ability to attract a large segment of the
market. The fact that the development seems to be targeting the middle of the market in
terms of prices and has a variety of housing types should help it attract a wider market
demand segment.
Ultimately, Mulberry’s ability to meet this implied capture rate will depend on the size of
the pipeline and its competitive position against other projects. There are currently a
number of proposed large-scale residential developments in North Fort Collins, including
Waterfield, Water’s Edge, and Montava that will compete with Mulberry. However, North
Fort Collins is one of the few remaining growth areas of the city, meaning that Mulberry
may have less competition from other areas of the city. The Fort Collins market is also a
very attractive area that competes regionally and even nationally. Finally, in the past,
growth may have been constrained by supply.

Commercial Development
Market Values
The Mulberry Financial Plan assumes that the commercial space, both retail and office, in
the development will have a market value of $220 per square foot. To benchmark this
assumption, EPS compared it to the historical five-year average sales price per square
foot of retail and office space in the Fort Collins market and to the capitalized value of
retail and office space. Capitalized value was calculated by dividing the five-year average
rent per square foot by the five-year average capitalization rate for the respective
product types, as shown in Table 9.
• Office: For office, the five-year average sales price was $157 per square foot or 29
percent less than the market value assumption used in the Financial Plan, and the
capitalized value was approximately $282 per square foot or 28 percent higher than
the market value.
• Retail: For retail, the five-year average sales price was $191 per square foot or 13
percent less than the market value assumption used in the Financial Plan, and the
capitalized value was approximately $240 per square foot or 10 percent higher than
the market value.
• Combined: The combined or weighted five-year average sales price was $182 per
square foot or 17 percent less than the market value assumption used in the Financial
Plan, and the capitalized value was approximately $252 per square foot or 15 percent
higher than the market value.
As a result of these comparisons, EPS concludes that the market value used in the
Financial Plan is relatively moderate and generally within a range set by the sales price
and capitalized value benchmarks.

Absorption
Office Absorption
EPS benchmarked Mulberry’s proposed office development against historic office
development in the city to calculate an implied capture rate, as shown in Table 10. From
2019 to 2027, the Developer proposes to build an average of 9,556 square feet of office
per year. Over the last 18 years, from 2000 to 2017, the City delivered an average
134,430 square feet of office space per year. As a result, the Mulberry proposal implies a
capture rate of 7 percent per year relative to the historical average, which is a relatively
conservative number. However, the office market in North Fort Collins, not including
downtown, is not established and this amount of development may not be realized. The
proximity of the development to I-25 may help support additional office development.
The residential development will also help support service office uses once a critical mass
has been achieved.
Table 10. Mulberry Development Implied Office Capture Rate
Retail Absorption
EPS benchmarked Mulberry’s proposed retail development against historic office
development in the city to calculate an implied capture rate, as shown in Table 11. From
2019 to 2027, the Developer proposes to build an average of 25,556 square feet of retail
per year. Over the last 12 years, from 2006 to 2017, the City delivered an average
141,826 square feet of retail space per year. As a result, the Mulberry proposal implies a
capture rate of 18 percent per year relative to the historical average. EPS believes that
an 18 percent capture rate is relatively high. However, the success of the retail portion of
the project will largely hinge on the success of the residential portion of the project—as
retail follows households. If the residential portion of the development is successful then
it is likely that the retail portion of the development will be successful.

Table 11. Mulberry Development Implied Retail Capture Rate
To gain a perspective on the amount of retail relative to the residential development, EPS
estimated the amount of retail that could be supported by the households in the Mulberry
project alone, as shown in Table 12. Based on this analysis, EPS estimates that just the
households in Mulberry, not including any inflow, could support approximately 78,000
square feet of locally oriented retail or 152,000 less than the proposed 230,000 square
feet of retail in the development. This suggests that the amount of retail space in the
development is greater in proportion to the number of residential units. To support this
level of retail, the development will need to attract inflow from residents that live outside
of the development and potentially attract more regionally-serving retail uses.

Grocery Store
Another perspective on the likelihood of neighborhood/community retail potential would
be to determine at what point a grocery store would be supportable as the anchor for a
neighborhood shopping center. To gain insights on the potential feasibility of grocery,
Table 13 shows the number of households within a two-mile radius of the development.
A two-mile radius represents a typical service area of a grocery store. As a rule of thumb,
a typical grocery store requires between 6,000 and 7,000 households within its service
area to be supportable. As of 2018, there were 4,197 households in the service area. The
development is proposed to add an additional 1,600 households, which will increase the
total number of households in the service area to approximately 5,800. This is only 200
households short of the minimum threshold of 6,000. Growth in other areas of the service
area will likely push the number of households above the minimum threshold.
While there will likely be enough households within a two-mile radius of the development
to nominally support a grocery store, the space would face competition from a number of
stores already within or near the two-mile radius of the development, including a
Safeway at the intersection of Riverside Avenue and South Lemay Avenue and a Walmart
Supercenter at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and South Lemay Avenue. Moreover,
the District will face competition from other metro districts and other developments for
grocery store space.
Overall, EPS finds a grocery store to be feasible within the area—especially a smaller,
more neighborhood oriented one as suggested in the District plan. A smaller grocery
store will be more readily supportable by fewer households and may compete less
directly with the larger grocery store chains in the area. In addition, the store will become
more feasible as the development builds out.

Metro District Competition in North Fort Collins
Mulberry is one of four major planned developments, all proposing metro districts in
the North Fort Collins area. The others include Montava, Water’s Edge, and Waterfield.
At buildout (from 2018 to 2042), the four proposed districts are projected to result in
7,411 additional housing units. This is 24 percent of the estimated growth of
approximately 30,500 households in Fort Collins from 2016 to 2040, as shown in
Table 8.
Given that North Fort Collins is one of the few remaining growth areas in the city, an
expected capture rate of 24 percent seems reasonable. However, on a year-to-year
basis the four developments will compete for absorption. If the developments happen
to each deliver a large number of units at the same time, it may take months or even
years for these units to be absorbed. This will in turn impact the bond revenue
projections of the four districts.
Figure 4 below compares the combined estimated residential build of each of the
districts with the total average annual growth rate for the city in Table 8. The figure
illustrates that while from 2019 to 2042 the four districts will need to capture 24
percent of total growth, in certain years the buildout schedules imply a much higher
capture rate, including 96 percent in 2021.
Appendix A provides more detail on the residential buildout assumptions for each
of the metro districts.
Figure 4. Implied Capture Rate Four Metro Districts
The four districts will also compete in their commercial programs, particularly in the
retail portion of these programs. In total, the districts project to develop over 500,000
square feet of retail. Based on a TPI model, the districts’ residential program would
only support approximately 361,000 square feet. In additional to competing with each
other, the retail will need to attract regional inflow to be supportable.
Appendix B provides additional detail on the commercial programs.

Financial Analysis
The Service Plan proposes to use the revenues derived from metro district property taxes
to issue debt in the form of bonds. These bond proceeds will be used to reimburse the
Developer for public improvement costs. This section reviews proposed public
improvement costs and the revenue and debt estimates described in the metro district
Service Plan.
Public Improvement Costs
The Developer provided the public improvement cost estimates in Exhibit F of the Service
Plan. Overall, public improvements associated with the development are estimated to be
approximately $105 million, as shown in Table 14. This includes $74 million in basic
infrastructure costs and $31 million in non-basic or extraordinary costs. Basic costs
include earthwork, sanitary sewer, water, stormwater, sidewalks, and streets. Non-basic
include non-potable water systems, regional street improvements, and park and other
amenities including a community pool and retail promenade. It is important to note that
these cost estimates are preliminary and will likely change as the development plan
evolves and becomes more detailed.
The Developer proposes to issue debt generating approximately $64 million in project
proceeds, as shown in Table 14. This debt would cover 61 percent of the total public
improvement costs. The Developer would need to cover the remaining $41 million with
other funds.

Revenue Estimates
Proposed Mill Levies and Facility Fee
The proposed maximum District Mill Levy of 50 mills is relatively common and within the
distribution of similar metro districts in Colorado. The 50 mills would be added onto to the
existing property tax levy of 90.828 mills and increase the property tax burden. Based on
information in the Financial Plan and D.A. Davidson’s bond projections, the Developer
plans to charge 50 mills (40 mills as debt levy and 10 mills for operations) for the
residential portion of the project, and 30 mills (20 mills as debt levy and 10 mills for
operations) for the commercial portion of the project. (The Developer is able to do this by
forming separate districts for the residential and retail areas of the program.) The
Developer is likely charging the commercial portion of the project less due to the higher
assessment rate for commercial property in the State (29 percent compared to 7.2
percent for residential). A lower commercial mill rate allows the commercial proportion of
the project to remain competitive.
For the residential portion of the property, the maximum District Mill Levy of 50 mills
would result in an average of $1,146 per year or $96 per month of additional cost to the
tenant. For the commercial portion of the property, the 30 mills would result in an
average of $1.91 per square feet of additional property tax cost per year, as shown in
Table 15.

Public Revenue Forecasts and Bond Proceeds
D.A. Davidson estimates that the metro district will generate a total of approximately
$122 million in revenues from Debt Mill Levy collections, as shown in Table 16. The
market value and absorption assumptions described in the Market Assessment section of
this memorandum are the main drivers of these revenue estimates. A reduction in the
proposed market values for the residential and commercial development and/or extended
buildout and absorption schedule will reduce the total bond proceeds. The underwriting
process and bond structure include reserve funds and capitalized interest mitigate
difference between forecasted and actual values relating to market values, buildout
schedule, and other variables. These public revenues will be used to generate
approximately $64.1 million that can be used to reimburse the Developer for
infrastructure expenditures related to the public improvements.

Public Benefits
The City’s policy for reviewing metro districts supports the formation of a district “where
it will deliver extraordinary public benefits that align with the goals and objectives of the
City”. The policy goes on to define four focus areas or types of benefits that meet this
policy as follows:
• Environmental Sustainability Outcomes – defined as public improvements that
provide environmental benefits including reduction in greenhouse gases, water or
energy conservation, community resiliency against natural disasters, renewable
energy capacity, and/or other environmental outcomes.
• Critical Public Infrastructure – public improvements that address significant
infrastructure needs previously identified by the City.
• Smart Growth Management – public improvements that facilitate design that
increases development density, enhances walkability, increases the availability of
transit or multimodal facilities, and/or encourages mixed use development patterns.
• Strategic Priorities – public improvements that address City priorities including
affordable housing, infill or redevelopment, and economic health improvements (e.g.,
job growth business retention, or construction of a missing economic resource).
Exhibit I of the Service Plan describes the proposed public benefits of the Mulberry
project. The Developer is able to provide these public benefits in part due to the District
bonds that reimburse the developer for public improvement costs. More specifically, by
reimbursing basic infrastructure investments typically associated with development with
District bond proceeds, the Developer is able to invest more money into public benefits
the City views as priorities. These include environmental sustainability, critical public
infrastructure, smart growth management, and strategic priorities like affordable housing.
The Service Plan describes a number of public benefits for the project. These include
creating a mixed-use, New Urbanist community with a number of housing options and
employing Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) principles. They also include:
• Roads – including the extension of Greenfields Court to connect Mulberry to I-25;
• Non-Potable Water System – to reduce the amount of water used for landscaping
(which can be between 60 and 70 percent of the total water use of a development);
• Parks, Open Space, and Trails – including a variety of trail connections, community
parks, and a community pool;
• Attainable Homes Price – primarily provided through denser housing and smaller
lots;
• Affordable Housing – a minimum of 160 units between 60 and 120 percent of the
area median income (AMI);
• Environmental Sustainability – including a commitment to 800 kW of solar
capacity, xeric landscaping.

Table 17 shows the Developer’s estimates of the value for different public benefits in the
four focus areas outlined by the City. Overall, the development estimates that the District
is providing approximately $69 million of public benefits. This amount is greater than the
total estimated bond proceeds of approximately $64 million. Overall, the Service Plan
does not guarantee the delivery of public benefits. Public benefits will have to be vetted
and guaranteed through additional approval steps for the metro district, including
approval of the development plan.
After reviewing the District plan, EPS identified several items for which it is difficult to
determine what are “extraordinary benefits” to the City and what are simply costs
associated with a typical development of this type as listed below:
• Added Utility Services – The District plan describes this cost as relating to
additional water and sewer infrastructure associated with higher density housing
types. However, it is unclear whether these costs are recouped in the pricing of this
housing or through additional revenues from increased total lots in the District.
• Non-Potable Irrigation System – The public benefit estimates includes the costs of
the non-potable water irrigation system at $4.6 million. However, it also takes credit
for the $19.0 million in water savings to consumers under “Water Savings for Non-
Potable Irrigation System”. This appears to be “double counting” by
taking credit for both the costs of building the irrigation system and again for the
savings to consumers for the resultant water usage reduction.
• Affordable Housing – There is insufficient information to substantiate the $10.5
affordable housing benefits claimed for the project. As indicated above, the project
shows 300 affordable housing units in Table 1 with no income or price specifications.
The Financial Plan (Exhibit I) indicates that 10 percent of total housing will be
affordable at 60 to 120 percent of AMI. If the units are all apartments and provided at
below 60 percent AMI, they would be affordable at a level requiring a subsidy. If
some of the units are for-sale affordable housing, the income levels could potentially
be modestly higher but not above 100 percent AMI. In any case, the project would
need to substantiate the actual costs of the subsidies to qualify as an extraordinary
public benefit.

Summary and Conclusions
• Proposed Mill Levies: The proposed Mulberry maximum aggregate mill levy of 50
mills is in line with the City’s current metro district policy. Reducing the mill for the
commercial proportion of the project helps to mitigate the property tax burden on
commercial properties and will help the commercial portion of the development be
competitive.
• Market Values: EPS generally finds that the market values used in the public
revenue estimates to be reasonable. These assumptions align with market averages,
given a new construction premium, and the residential market values are comparable
to other recent developments in North Fort Collins.
• Residential Absorption: Mulberry is an ambitious development that will need to
capture a significant portion of the residential and retail market to achieve the
proposed buildout assumptions in its Financial Plan. In particular, Mulberry will need
to compete with other larger-scale residential and mixed-use developments planned
for North Fort Collins, including the Waterfield, Water’s Edge, and Montava. The fact
that North Fort Collins is one of the only remaining growth areas of the city should
help each of these developments achieve a significant market share. However, in
aggregate, the cumulative absorption of these four large developments may exceed
overall market demand.
• Retail Absorption: The success of the retail portion of the project will depend on the
success of the residential portion of the project. Overall, EPS finds that the retail
program to be oversized. To support this level of retail, the project will need to attract
inflow from residents that live outside of the development and potentially build more
regionally-serving retail.
• Office Absorption: EPS finds that an implied 7 percent capture rate of the office
program to be a reasonable target for the development. However, we note that the
office market in North Fort Collins is immature. The proximity of the development to
I-25 may help support office in Mulberry. The residential development will also help
support service office uses once a critical mass has been achieved.
• Public Benefits: As outlined in Exhibit I Public Benefits, the Service Plan proposes an
extensive list of public improvement that potentially meet the City’s proposed metro
district criteria for extraordinary public benefits. The estimated value of these benefits
is greater than the estimate project fund proceeds from a bond issuance. However,
there are at least three public benefits for which the value is either unsubstantiated or
overstated requiring additional supportable data including—Added Utility Services,
water savings from Non-Potable Water Irrigation System, and Affordable Housing.

Key TBL-S Results
• The proposed 10% affordable housing (160 units)
would have positive impacts for both economic and
social sustainability
• The currently proposed environmental benefits are not
as strong as they could be
Mitigation Strategies
• Could benefit from strengthening a particular focus
area (e.g. focusing on 15% affordable housing)
• OR The Service Plan could benefit from committing
to more specific environmental public benefits (e.g.
DOE Net Zero Ready homes, LEED standards, EV
charging infrastructure that goes beyond code, etc.)
Service Plan Highlights
Changes Since Council Finance Meeting
1. Expanded affordable housing from 10% to 15%
2. Relabeled open space to green space to avoid confusion with the
City’s Open Space program
Protections from Policy
1. No Debt or Debt Mill until Council approves Development
Agreement and/or Intergovernmental Agreement
2. City may dissolve the district if no Development Agreement or
Intergovernmental Agreement has been approved within 3 years

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose and Intent.
The Districts, which are intended to be independent units of local government separate
and distinct from the City, are governed by this Service Plan, the Special District Act and
other applicable State law. Except as may otherwise be provided by State law, City Code or
this Service Plan, the Districts’ activities are subject to review and approval by the City
Council only insofar as they are a material modification of this Service Plan under C.R.S.
Section 32-1-207 of the Special District Act.
It is intended that the Districts will provide all or part of the Public Improvements for
the Project for the use and benefit of all anticipated inhabitants and taxpayers of the Districts.
The primary purpose of the Districts will be to finance the construction of these Public
Improvements by the issuance of Debt.
It is also intended under this Service Plan that no District shall be authorized to issue
any Debt, impose a Debt Mill Levy, or impose any Fees for payment on Debt unless and until
the delivery of the applicable Public Benefits described in Section IV.B of this Service Plan
has been secured in accordance with Section IV.B of this Service Plan.
It is intended that this Service Plan also requires the Districts to pay a portion of the cost
of the Regional Improvements, as provided in Section X of this Service Plan, as part of ensuring
that those privately-owned properties to be developed in the Districts that benefit from the
Regional Improvements pay a reasonable share of the associated costs.
The Districts are not intended to provide ongoing operations and maintenance services
except as expressly authorized in this Service Plan.
It is the intent of the Districts to dissolve upon payment or defeasance of all Debt incurred
or upon a court determination that adequate provision has been made for the payment of all Debt,
except that if the Districts are authorized in this Service Plan to perform continuing operating or
maintenance functions, the Districts shall continue in existence for the sole purpose of providing
such functions and shall retain only the powers necessary to impose and collect the taxes or Fees
authorized in this Service Plan to pay for the costs of those functions.
It is intended that the Districts shall comply with the provisions of this Service Plan
and that the City may enforce any non-compliance with these provisions as provided in
Sections XVII and XVIII of this Service Plan.
B. Need for the Districts.
There are currently no other governmental entities, including the City, located in the
immediate vicinity of the Districts that consider it desirable, feasible or practical to undertake the
7
DN 3520023.1
planning, design, acquisition, construction, installation, relocation, redevelopment and financing
of the Public Improvements needed for the Project. Formation of the Districts is therefore
necessary in order for the Public Improvements required for the Project to be provided in the most
economic manner possible.
C. Objective of the City Regarding Districts’ Service Plan.
The City’s objective in approving this Service Plan is to authorize the Districts to provide
for the planning, design, acquisition, construction, installation, relocation and redevelopment of
the Public Improvements from the proceeds of Debt to be issued by the Districts but in doing so,
to also establish in the Service Plan the means by which the Regional Improvements and Public
Benefits will be provided. Except as specifically provided in this Service Plan, all Debt is expected
to be repaid by taxes and Fees imposed and collected for no longer than the Maximum Debt Mill
Levy Imposition Term for residential properties and at a tax mill levy no higher than the Maximum
Debt Mill Levy. Fees imposed for the payment of Debt shall be due no later than upon the issuance
of a building permit. Debt which is issued within these parameters and, as further described in the
Financial Plan, will insulate property owners from excessive tax and Fee burdens to support the
servicing of the Debt and will result in a timely and reasonable discharge of the Debt.
D. City Approvals.
Any provision in this Service Plan requiring “City” or “City Council” approval or consent
shall require the City Council’s prior written approval or consent exercised in its sole discretion.
Any provision in this Service Plan requiring “City Manager” approval or consent shall require the
City Manager’s prior written approval or consent exercised in the City Manager’s sole discretion.

12
DN 3520023.1
IV. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC
BENEFITS & ASSESSED VALUATION
A. Project and Planned Development.
The Mulberry Development is a proposed 226-acre, mixed-use community located north
of Mulberry Street along both sides of Greenfields Drive, otherwise known as the “Mulberry
Corridor.” The Mulberry Corridor is a primary gateway into the City of Fort Collins, and in its
current state, does not represent the City’s development standards. The Developer would like to
initiate redevelopment of Mulberry Corridor to meet the City’s high development standards and
catalyze redevelopment in the surrounding areas by incorporating several critical City objectives
and plans into the Planned Development. The Planned Development incorporates the goals of the
following plans: the East Mulberry Corridor Plan, the City’s Transportation Master Plan, the City’s
Master Street Plan, the Nature in the City Strategic Plan, the City Structure Plan, the Natural Areas
Master Plan, and the Paved Recreational Trail Master Plan.
The current Preliminary Development Plan for the Planned Development includes
approximately 1,600 residences, including single-family detached, single-family attached, and
multi-family living options, of which a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) will be designated and
sold or leased as affordable. In addition, the Developer intends to implement design standards,
construction strategies, and innovative land planning to lower the overall cost of housing in the
community. The estimated population at build-out is 4,000.
In addition, the current Preliminary Development Plan for the Planned Development
provides for a neighborhood town center with a central pedestrian-oriented market street acting as
the continuation of the central north-south greenway running through the community, which shall
include: (i) approximately 20-30 acres of retail, commercial, and office uses; (ii) approximately
230,000 square feet of retail and commercial uses, including a neighborhood-scaled grocery store;
and (iii) approximately 86,000 square feet of office uses integrated into the market street. The
Planned Development also provides for significant open space, including amenitized parks and
natural areas, and an extensive trail corridor and pedestrian network which will provide internal
community connectivity and walkability as well as links to the surrounding Fort Collins
community.
Construction of the Mulberry Development is planned to be completed by year 2028. In
accordance with the Financial Plan, the estimated assessed valuation of the Planned Development
in 2024 is estimated to be $14,955,749 for residential and $0.00 for commercial, and in 2029 it is
estimated to be $41,584,214 for residential and $23,688,792 for commercial.
Approval of this Service Plan by the City Council does not imply approval of the
development of any particular land-use for any specific area within the Districts. Any such
approval must be contained within an Approved Development Plan.
B. Public Benefits.
In addition to providing the Public Improvements described in Exhibit F and the Regional
Improvements, the Districts will deliver several public benefits to the community in accordance
13
DN 3520023.1
with the City’s Metro District Service Plan Policy. The public benefits include, but are not limited
to, developing critical on-site and off-site public infrastructure, employing high quality and Smart
Growth practices, creating affordable housing units, creating attainable housing units to support
the workforce, and incorporating Environmental Sustainability through energy conservation, water
conservation, and enhanced community resiliency, all of which are specifically described in
Exhibit I attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, the “Public
Benefits”).
Therefore, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Service Plan, no
District shall be authorized to issue any Debt or to impose a Debt Mill Levy or any Fees for
payment of Debt unless and until the delivery of the Public Benefits specifically related to the
phase of the Planned Development or portion of the Project to be financed with such Debt, Debt
Mill Levy or Fees are secured in a manner approved by the City Council. To satisfy this
precondition to the issuance of Debt and to the imposition of the Debt Mill Levy and Fees, delivery
of the Public Benefits for each phase of the Project and the Planned Development must be secured
by one of the following methods, as applicable:
1. For any portion of the Public Benefits to be provided by one or more of the Districts,
each such District must enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the City either
(i) agreeing to provide those Public Benefits as a legally enforceable multiple-fiscal
year obligation of the District under TABOR, or by (ii) securing performance of that
obligation with a surety bond, letter of credit, or other security acceptable to the City,
and any such intergovernmental agreement must be approved by the City Council by
resolution;
2. For any portion of the Public Benefits to be provided by one or more Developers of the
Planned Development, each such Developer must either (i) enter into a development
agreement with the City under the Developer’s applicable Approved Development
Plan, which agreement must legally obligate the Developer to provide those Public
Benefits before the City is required to issue building permits and/or certificates of
occupancy for structures to be built under the Approved Development Plan for that
phase of the Planned Development, or (ii) secure such obligations with a surety bond,
letter of credit, or other security acceptable to the City, and all such development
agreements must be approved by the City Council by resolution; or
3. For any portion of the Public Benefits to be provided in part by one or more of the
Districts in the Project and in part by one or more of the Developers in the Planned
Development or Project, an agreement between the City, the affected District(s), and
the Developer(s) that secures such Public Benefits as legally binding obligations using
the methods described in subsections 1 and 2 above, and all such agreements must be
approved by the City Council by resolution.
C. Assessed Valuation.
The current assessed valuation of the Service Area is approximately $73,871 and, at build
out, is expected to be $65,273,006. These amounts are expected to be enough to reasonably
discharge the Debt as demonstrated in the Financial Plan.
14
DN 3520023.1
V. INCLUSION OF LAND IN THE SERVICE AREA
Other than the real property in the Inclusion Area Boundaries, the Districts shall not add
any real property to the Service Area without the City’s approval and in compliance with the
Special District Act. Provided, however, that any real property within the Inclusion Area
Boundary shall not be added to the boundaries of any District without such real property having
first been duly annexed into the City’s boundaries. Once a District has issued Debt, it shall not
exclude real property from the District’s boundaries without the prior written consent of the City
Council.
VI. DISTRICT GOVERNANCE
A District’s Board shall be comprised of persons who are a qualified “eligible elector” of
the District as provided in the Special District Act. It is anticipated that, over time, the End Users
who are eligible electors will assume direct electoral control of the Districts’ Boards as
development of the Service Area progresses. The Districts shall not enter into any agreement by
which the End Users’ electoral control of the Boards is removed or diminished.
VII. AUTHORIZED AND PROHIBITED POWERS
A. General Grant of Powers.
The Districts shall have the power and authority to provide the Public Improvements, the
Regional Improvements and related operation and maintenance services, within and without the
Service Area, as such powers and authorities are described in the Special District Act, other
applicable State law, common law and the Colorado Constitution, subject to the prohibitions,
restrictions and limitations set forth in this Service Plan.
If, after the Service Plan is approved, any State law is enacted to grant additional powers
or authority to metropolitan districts by amendment of the Special District Act or otherwise, such
powers and authority shall be deemed to be a part hereof. These new powers and authority shall
only be available to be exercised by a District if the City Council first approves a Service Plan
Amendment to specifically allow the exercise of such powers or authority by the District.
B. Prohibited Improvements and Services and other Restrictions and Limitations.
The Districts’ powers and authority under this Service Plan to provide Public Improvements
and services and to otherwise exercise its other powers and authority under the Special District
Act and other applicable State law, are prohibited, restricted and limited as hereafter provided.
Failure to comply with these prohibitions, restrictions and limitations shall constitute a material
modification under this Service Plan and shall entitle the City to pursue all remedies available at
law and in equity as provided in Sections XVII and XVIII of this Service Plan:
15
DN 3520023.1
1. Eminent Domain Restriction
The Districts shall not exercise their statutory power of eminent domain without first
obtaining resolution approval from the City Council. This restriction on the Districts’
exercise of their eminent domain power is being voluntarily acquiesced to by the
Districts and shall not be interpreted in any way as a limitation on the Districts’
sovereign powers and shall not negatively affect the Districts’ status as political
subdivisions of the State as conferred by the Special District Act.
2. Fee Limitation
Any Fees imposed for the repayment of Debt, if authorized by this Service Plan, shall
not be imposed by the Districts upon or collected from an End User. In addition, Fees
imposed for the payment of Debt shall not be imposed unless and until the requirements
for securing the delivery of the District’s portion of the Public Benefits have been
satisfied in accordance with Section IV.B of this Service Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Fee limitation shall not apply to any Fee imposed to fund the operation,
maintenance, repair or replacement of Public Improvements or the administration of
the Districts.
3. Operations and Maintenance
The primary purpose of the Districts is to plan for, design, acquire, construct, install,
relocate, redevelop and finance the Public Improvements. The Districts shall dedicate
the Public Improvements to the City or other appropriate jurisdiction or owners’
association in a manner consistent with the Approved Development Plan and the City
Code, provided that nothing herein requires the City to accept a dedication. The
Districts are each specifically authorized to operate and maintain all or any part or all
of the Public Improvements not otherwise conveyed or dedicated to the City or another
appropriate governmental entity until such time as the District is dissolved.
4. Fire Protection Restriction
The Districts are not authorized to plan for, design, acquire, construct, install, relocate,
redevelop, finance, own, operate or maintain fire protection facilities or services, unless
such facilities and services are provided pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement
with the Poudre Fire Authority. The authority to plan for, design, acquire, construct,
install, relocate, redevelop, finance, operate or maintain fire hydrants and related
improvements installed as part of the Project’s water system shall not be limited by this
subsection.
5. Public Safety Services Restriction
The Districts are not authorized to provide policing or other security services. However,
the Districts may, pursuant to C.R.S. § 32-1-1004(7), as amended, furnish security
services pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement with the City.
16
DN 3520023.1
6. Grants from Governmental Agencies Restriction
The Districts shall not apply for grant funds distributed by any agency of the United
States Government or the State without the prior written approval of the City Manager.
This does not restrict the collection of Fees for services provided by the Districts to the
United States Government or the State.
7. Golf Course Construction Restriction
Acknowledging that the City has financed public golf courses and desires to coordinate
the construction of public golf courses within the City’s boundaries, the Districts shall
not be authorized to plan, design, acquire, construct, install, relocate, redevelop,
finance, own, operate or maintain a golf course unless such activity is pursuant to an
intergovernmental agreement with the City approved by the City Council.
8. Television Relay and Translation Restriction
The Districts are not authorized to plan for, design, acquire, construct, install, relocate,
redevelop, finance, own, operate or maintain television relay and translation facilities
and services, other than for the installation of conduit as a part of a street construction
project, unless such facilities and services are provided pursuant to prior written
approval from the City Council as a Service Plan Amendment.
9. Potable Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Acknowledging that the City and other existing special districts operating within the
City currently own and operate treatment facilities for potable water and wastewater
that are available to provide services to the Service Area, the Districts shall not plan,
design, acquire, construct, install, relocate, redevelop, finance, own, operate or
maintain such facilities without obtaining the City Council’s prior written approval
either by intergovernmental agreement or as a Service Plan Amendment.
10. Sales and Use Tax Exemption Limitation
The Districts shall not exercise any sales and use tax exemption otherwise available to
the Districts under the City Code.
11. Sub-district Restriction
The Districts shall not create any sub-district pursuant to the Special District Act

12. Privately Placed Debt Limitation
Prior to the issuance of any privately placed Debt, the Districts shall obtain the
certification of an External Financial Advisor substantially as follows:
17
DN 3520023.1
We are [I am] an External Financial Advisor within the meaning of
the District’s Service Plan.
We [I] certify that (1) the net effective interest rate (calculated as
defined in C.R.S. Section 32-1-103(12)) to be borne by [insert the
designation of the Debt] does not exceed a reasonable current [tax-
exempt] [taxable] interest rate, using criteria deemed appropriate by
us [me] and based upon our [my] analysis of comparable high yield
securities; and (2) the structure of [insert designation of the Debt],
including maturities and early redemption provisions, is reasonable
considering the financial circumstances of the District.
13. Special Assessments
The Districts shall not impose special assessments without the prior
written approval of the City Council.
VIII. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND ESTIMATED COSTS
Exhibit F summarizes the type of Public Improvements that are projected to be constructed
and/or installed by the Districts. The cost, scope, and definition of such Public Improvements may
vary over time. The total estimated costs of Public Improvements, as set forth in Exhibit F,
excluding any improvements paid for by the Regional Mill Levy necessary to serve the Planned
Development, are approximately $104,712,037 in 2019 dollars. The cost estimates are based upon
preliminary engineering, architectural surveys, and reviews of the Public Improvements set forth
in Exhibit F and include all construction cost estimates together with estimates of costs such as
land acquisition, engineering services, legal expenses and other associated expenses. Maps of the
anticipated location, operation, and maintenance of Public Improvements are attached hereto as
Exhibit G. Changes in the Public Improvements or cost, which are approved by the City in an
Approved Development Plan and any agreement approved by the City Council pursuant to Section
IV.B of this Service Plan, shall not constitute a Service Plan Amendment. In addition, due to the
preliminary nature of the Project, the City shall not be bound by this Service Plan in reviewing and
approving the Approved Development Plan and the Approved Development Plan shall supersede
the Service Plan with regard to the cost, scope, and definition of Public Improvements. Provided,
however, any agreement approved and entered into pursuant to Section IV.B of this Service Plan
for the provision of a Public Improvement that is also a Public Benefit shall supersede both this
Service Plan and the Approved Development Plan.
Except as otherwise provided by an agreement approved under Section IV.B of this Service
Plan: (i) the design, phasing of construction, location and completion of Public Improvements will
be determined by the Districts to coincide with the phasing and development of the Planned
Development and the availability of funding sources; (ii) the Districts may, in their discretion,
phase the construction, completion, operation, and maintenance of Public Improvements or defer,
delay, reschedule, rephase, relocate or determine not to proceed with the construction, completion,
operation, and maintenance of Public Improvements, and such actions or determinations shall not
constitute a Service Plan Amendment; and (iii) the Districts shall also be permitted to allocate
costs between such categories of the Public Improvements as deemed necessary in their discretion.
18
DN 3520023.1
The Public Improvements shall be listed using an ownership and maintenance matrix in
Exhibit F, either individually or categorically, to identify the ownership and maintenance
responsibilities of the Public Improvements.
The City Code has development standards, contracting requirements and other legal
requirements related to the construction and payment of public improvements and related to certain
operation activities. Relating to these, the Districts shall comply with the following requirements:
A. Development Standards.
The Districts shall ensure that the Public Improvements are designed and constructed in
accordance with the standards and specifications of the City Code and of other governmental
entities having proper jurisdiction, as applicable. The Districts directly, or indirectly through any
Developer, will obtain the City’s approval of civil engineering plans and will obtain applicable
permits for construction and installation of Public Improvements prior to performing such work.
Unless waived by the City Council, the Districts shall be required, in accordance with the City
Code, to post a surety bond, letter of credit, or other approved development security for any Public
Improvements to be constructed by the Districts. Such development security may be released in
the City Manager’s discretion when the constructing District has obtained funds, through Debt
issuance or otherwise, adequate to insure the construction of the Public Improvements, unless such
release is prohibited by or in conflict with any City Code provision, State law or any agreement
approved and entered into under Section IV.B of this Service Plan. Any limitation or requirement
concerning the time within which the City must review the Districts’ proposal or application for
an Approved Development Plan or other land use approval is hereby waived by the Districts.
B. Contracting.
The Districts shall comply with all applicable State purchasing, public bidding and
construction contracting requirements and limitations.
C. Land Acquisition and Conveyance.
The purchase price of any land or improvements acquired by the Districts from the
Developer shall be no more than the then-current fair market value as confirmed by an independent
MAI appraisal for land and by an independent professional engineer for improvements. Land,
easements, improvements and facilities conveyed to the City shall be free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances and easements, unless otherwise approved by the City Manager prior to
conveyance. All conveyances to the City shall be by special warranty deed, shall be conveyed at
no cost to the City, shall include an ALTA title policy issued to the City, shall meet the
environmental standards of the City and shall comply with any other conveyance prerequisites
required in the City Code.
D. Equal Employment and Discrimination.
In connection with the performance of all acts or activities hereunder, the Districts shall
not discriminate against any person otherwise qualified with respect to its hiring, discharging,
promoting or demoting or in matters of compensation solely because of race, color, religion,
national origin, gender, age, military status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender
expression, marital status, or physical or mental disability, and further shall insert the foregoing
19
DN 3520023.1
provision in contracts or subcontracts entered into by the Districts to accomplish the purposes of
this Service Plan.
IX. FINANCIAL PLAN/PROPOSED DEBT
This Section IX of the Service Plan describes the nature, basis, method of funding and
financing limitations associated with the acquisition, construction, completion, repair,
replacement, operation and maintenance of Public Improvements.
A. Financial Plan.
The Districts’ Financial Plan, attached as Exhibit H and incorporated by reference, reflects
the Districts’ anticipated schedule for incurring Debt to fund Public Improvements in support of
the Project. The Financial Plan also reflects the schedule of all anticipated revenues flowing to the
Districts derived from the Districts’ mill levies, Fees imposed by the Districts, specific ownership
taxes, and all other anticipated legally available revenues. The Financial Plan is based on
economic, political and industry conditions as they presently exist and reasonable projections and
estimates of future conditions. These projections and estimates are not to be interpreted as the
only method of implementation of the District’s goals and objectives but rather a representation of
one feasible alternative. Other financial structures may be used so long as they are in compliance
with this Service Plan. The Financial Plan incorporates all of the provisions of this Section IX.
Based upon the assumptions contained therein, the Financial Plan projects the issuance of
Bonds to fund Public Improvements and anticipated Debt repayment based on the development
assumptions and absorptions of the property in the Service Area by End Users. The Financial Plan
anticipates that the Districts will acquire, construct, and complete all Public Improvements needed
to serve the Service Area.
The Financial Plan demonstrates that the Districts will have the financial ability to
discharge all Debt to be issued as part of the Financial Plan on a reasonable basis. Furthermore,
the Districts will secure the certification of an External Financial Advisor who will provide an
opinion as to whether such Debt issuances are in the best interest of the Districts at the time of
issuance.
B. Mill Levies.
It is anticipated that each District will impose a Debt Mill Levy and an Operating Mill Levy
on all property within its boundaries. In doing so, the following shall apply:
1. Aggregate Mill Levy Maximum
The Aggregate Mill Levy shall not exceed in any year the Aggregate Mill Levy
Maximum, which is fifty (50) mills.
20
DN 3520023.1
2. Regional Mill Levy Not Included in Other Mill Levies
The Regional Mill Levy shall not be counted against the Aggregate Mill Levy
Maximum.
3. Operating Mill Levy
Each District may impose an Operating Mill Levy of up to fifty (50) mills until the
District imposes a Debt Mill Levy. Once a District imposes a Debt Mill Levy of any
amount, that District’s Operating Mill Levy shall not exceed ten (10) mills at any point.
4. Gallagher Adjustments
In the event the State’s method of calculating assessed valuation for the Taxable
Property changes after January 1, 2019, or any constitutionally mandated tax credit, cut
or abatement takes effect after January 1, 2019, the District’s Aggregate Mill Levy,
Debt Mill Levy, Operating Mill Levy, and Aggregate Mill Levy Maximum may be
increased or decreased to reflect such changes; such increases or decreases shall be
determined by the District’s Board in good faith so that to the extent possible, the actual
tax revenues generated by such mill levies, as adjusted, are neither enhanced nor
diminished as a result of such change occurring after January 1, 2019. For purposes of
the foregoing, a change in the ratio of actual valuation to assessed valuation will be a
change in the method of calculating assessed valuation.
5. Excessive Mill Levy Pledges
Any Debt issued with a mill levy pledge, or which results in a mill levy pledge, that
exceeds the Aggregate Mill Levy Maximum or the Maximum Debt Mill Levy
Imposition Term, shall be deemed a material modification of this Service Plan and shall
not be an authorized issuance of Debt unless and until such material modification has
been approved by a Service Plan Amendment.
6. Refunding Debt
The Maximum Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term may be exceeded for Debt refunding
purposes if: (1) a majority of the issuing District’s Board is composed of End Users
and have voted in favor of a refunding of a part or all of the Debt; or (2) such refunding
will result in a net present value savings.
7. Maximum Debt Authorization
The Districts anticipate approximately $104,712,037 in project costs in 2019 dollars as
set forth in Exhibit F and anticipate issuing approximately $65,000,000 in total
cumulative Debt to pay such costs as set forth in Exhibit H, which Debt issuance
amount shall be the amount of the Maximum Debt Authorization, provided, however,
if the Inclusion Area is added to the Districts’ boundaries, the Maximum Debt
Authorization shall be $75,000,000. The request for the additional debt authorization
21
DN 3520023.1
will allow for contingencies and financing variations based upon changes to
construction costs, development build out and absorption of the Inclusion Area. In
addition, additional debt capacity is needed for the development of Public
Improvements in the Inclusion Area which have not been included in the financial and
capital projections. In addition, a District shall not issue any Debt unless and until
delivery of the District’s Public Benefits have been secured as required in Section IV.B
of this Service Plan. The Districts collectively shall not issue Debt in excess of the
Maximum Debt Authorization. Bonds which have been refunded shall not count
against the Maximum Debt Authorization. The Districts must obtain from the City
Council a Service Plan Amendment prior to issuing Debt in excess of the Maximum
Debt Authorization.
C. Maximum Voted Interest Rate and Underwriting Discount.
The interest rate on any Debt is expected to be the market rate at the time the Debt is issued.
The maximum interest rate on any Debt, including any defaulting interest rate, is not permitted to
exceed twelve percent (12%). The maximum underwriting discount shall be three percent (3%).
Debt, when issued, will comply with all relevant requirements of this Service Plan, the Special
District Act, other applicable State law and federal law as then applicable to the issuance of public
securities.
D. Interest Rate and Underwriting Discount Certification.
Each District shall retain an External Financial Advisor to provide a written opinion on the
market reasonableness of the interest rate on any Debt and any underwriter discount paid by the
District as part of a Debt financing transaction. The District shall provide this written opinion to
the City before issuing any Debt based on it.
E. Disclosure to Purchasers.
In order to notify future End Users who are purchasing residential lots or dwellings units
in the Service Area that they will be paying, in addition to the property taxes owed to other taxing
governmental entities, the property taxes imposed under the Debt Mill Levy, the Operating Mill
Levy and possibly the Regional Mill Levy, the Districts shall not be authorized to issue any Debt
under this Service Plan until there is included in the Developer’s Approved Development Plan
provisions that require the following:
1. That the Developer, and its successors and assigns, shall prepare and submit to the
City Manager for his approval a disclosure notice in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J (the “Disclosure Notice”);
2. That when the Disclosure Notice is approved by the City Manager, the Developer
shall record the Disclosure Notice in the Larimer County Clerk and Recorders
Office; and
3. That the approved Disclosure Notice shall be provided by the Developer, and by its
successors and assigns, to each potential End User purchaser of a residential lot or
dwelling unit in the Service Area before that purchaser enters into a written
agreement for the purchase and sale of that residential lot or dwelling unit.
22
DN 3520023.1
F. External Financial Advisor.
An External Financial Advisor shall be retained by a District to provide a written opinion
as to whether any Debt issuance is in the best interest of the issuing District once the total amount
of Debt issued by such District exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). The External Financial
Advisor is to provide advice to the issuing District’s Board regarding the proposed terms and
whether Debt conditions are reasonable based upon the status of development within the District,
the projected tax base increase in the District, the security offered and other considerations as may
be identified by the External Financial Advisor. The issuing District shall include in the transcript
of any Bond transaction, or other appropriate financing documentation for related Debt instrument,
a signed letter from the External Financial Advisor providing an official opinion on the structure
of the Debt, stating the Advisor’s opinion that the cost of issuance, sizing, repayment term,
redemption feature, couponing, credit spreads, payment, closing date, and other material
transaction details of the proposed Debt serve the best interest of the issuing District.
Debt shall not be undertaken by a District if found to be unreasonable by the External
Financial Advisor.
G. Disclosure to Debt Purchasers.
Any Debt of a District shall set forth a statement in substantially the following form:
“By acceptance of this instrument, the owner of this Debt agrees and
consents to all of the limitations with respect to the payment of the
principal and interest on this Debt contained herein, in the resolution
of the District authorizing the issuance of this Debt and in the
Service Plan of the District. This Debt is not and cannot be a Debt
of the City of Fort Collins.”
Similar language describing the limitations with respect to the payment of the principal and
interest on Debt set forth in this Service Plan shall be included in any document used for the
offering of the Debt for sale to persons, including, but not limited to, a Developer of property
within the Service Area.
H. Security for Debt.
The Districts shall not pledge any revenue or property of the City as security for the
indebtedness set forth in this Service Plan. Approval of this Service Plan shall not be construed
as a guarantee by the City of payment of any of the Districts’ obligations; nor shall anything in the
Service Plan be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of the City in the event
of default by the Districts in the payment of any such obligation.
I. TABOR Compliance.
The Districts shall comply with the provisions of TABOR. In the discretion of the Districts’
Boards, the Districts may set up other qualifying entities to manage, fund, construct and operate
facilities, services, and programs. To the extent allowed by law, any entity created by a District
will remain under the control of the District’s Board.
23
DN 3520023.1
J. Districts’ Operating Costs.
The estimated cost of acquiring land, engineering services, legal services and
administrative services, together with the estimated costs of the Districts’ organization and initial
operations, are anticipated to be SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($75,000) in total for
all the Districts, which will be eligible for reimbursement from Debt proceeds.
In addition to the capital costs of the Public Improvements, the Districts will require
operating funds for administration and to plan and cause the Public Improvements to be operated
and maintained. The first year’s operating budget in total for all the Districts is estimated to be
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000).
Ongoing administration, operations and maintenance costs may be paid from property
taxes collected through the imposition of an Operating Mill Levy, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section IX.B.3, as well as from other revenues legally available to the Districts.
X. REGIONAL IMPROVEMENTS
The Districts shall be authorized to provide for the planning, design, acquisition, funding,
construction, installation, relocation, redevelopment, administration and overhead costs related to
the provision of Regional Improvements. At the discretion of the City, the Districts shall impose
a Regional Improvement Mill Levy on all property within the Districts’ Boundaries and any
properties thereafter included in the Boundaries under the following terms:
A. Regional Mill Levy Authority.
The Districts shall seek the authority to impose an additional Regional Mill Levy of five
(5) mills as part of the Districts’ initial TABOR election. The Districts shall also seek from the
electorate in that election the authority under TABOR to enter into an intergovernmental
agreement with the City obligating the Districts to pay as a multiple-fiscal year obligation the
proceeds from the Regional Mill Levy to the City. Obtaining such voter-approval of this
intergovernmental agreement shall be a precondition to the Districts issuing any Debt and
imposing the Debt Mill Levy, the Operating Mill Levy and Fees for the repayment of Debt under
this Service Plan.
B. Regional Mill Levy Imposition.
The Districts shall each impose the Regional Mill Levy at a rate not to exceed five (5) mills
within one year of receiving written notice from the City Manager to the Districts requesting the
imposition of the Regional Mill Levy and stating the mill rate to be imposed.
C. City Notice Regarding Regional Improvements.
Such notice from the City shall provide a description of the Regional Improvements to be
constructed and an analysis explaining how the Regional Improvements will be beneficial to
property owners within the Service Area. The City shall make a good faith effort to require that
planned developments that (i) are adjacent to the Service Area and (ii) will benefit from the
Regional Improvement also impose a Regional Mill Levy, to the extent possible.
24
DN 3520023.1
D. Regional Improvements Authorized Under Service Plan.
If so notified by the City Manager, the Regional Improvements shall be considered public
improvements that the Districts would otherwise be authorized to design, construct, install re-
design, re-construct, repair or replace pursuant to this Service Plan and applicable law.
E. Expenditure of Regional Mil Levy Revenues.
Revenue collected through the imposition of the Regional Mill Levy shall be expended as
follows:
1. Intergovernmental Agreement
If the City and the Districts have executed an intergovernmental agreement
concerning the Regional Improvements, then the revenue from the Regional Mill
Levy shall be used in accordance with such agreement;
2. No Intergovernmental Agreement
If no intergovernmental agreement exists between the Districts and the City, then
the revenue from the Regional Mill Levy shall be paid to the City, for use by the
City in the planning, designing, constructing, installing, acquiring, relocating,
redeveloping or financing of Regional Improvements which benefit the End Users
of the Districts as prioritized and determined by the City.
F. Regional Mill Levy Term.
The imposition of the Regional Mill Levy shall not exceed a term of twenty-five (25) years
from December 31 of the tax collection year after which the Regional Mill Levy is first imposed.
G. Completion of Regional Improvements.
All Regional Improvements shall be completed prior to the end of the twenty-five (25) year
Regional Mill Levy term.
H. City Authority to Require Imposition.
The City’s authority to require a District to initiate the imposition of a Regional Mill Levy
shall expire fifteen (15) years after December 31st of the year in which said District first imposes
a Debt Mill Levy.
I. Regional Mill Levy Not Included in Other Mill Levies.
The Regional Mill Levy imposed shall not be applied toward the calculation of the
Aggregate Mill Levy Maximum.
J. Gallagher Adjustment.
In the event the method of calculating assessed valuation is changed January 1, 2019, or
any constitutionally mandated tax credit, cut or abatement takes effect after January 1, 2019, the
Regional Mill Levy may be increased or shall be decreased to reflect such changes; such increases
or decreases shall be determined by each of the Districts’ Boards in good faith so that to the extent
possible, the actual tax revenues generated by the Regional Mill Levy, as adjusted, are neither
enhanced nor diminished as a result of such change occurring after January 1, 2019. For purposes
25
DN 3520023.1
of the foregoing, a change in the ratio of actual valuation to assessed valuation will be a change in
the method of calculating assessed valuation.
XI. CITY FEES
The Districts shall pay all applicable City fees as required by the City Code.
XII. BANKRUPTCY LIMITATIONS
All of the limitations contained in this Service Plan, including, but not limited to, those
pertaining to the Aggregate Mill Levy Maximum, Maximum Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term and
Fees, have been established under the authority of the City in the Special District Act to approve
this Service Plan. It is expressly intended that by such approval such limitations: (i) shall not be
set aside for any reason, including by judicial action, absent a Service Plan Amendment; and (ii)
are, together with all other requirements of State law, included in the “political or governmental
powers” reserved to the State under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.) Section 903, and are
also included in the “regulatory or electoral approval necessary under applicable non-bankruptcy
law” as required for confirmation of a Chapter 9 Bankruptcy Plan under Bankruptcy Code Section
943(b)(6).

such default notice by the City Clerk may constitute a material modification of the Service Plan,
at the discretion of the City Manager.
XIV. SERVICE PLAN AMENDMENTS
This Service Plan is general in nature and does not include specific detail in some instances.
The Service Plan has been designed with sufficient flexibility to enable the Districts to provide
required improvements, services and facilities under evolving circumstances without the need for
numerous amendments. Modification of the general types of improvements and facilities making
up the Public Improvements, and changes in proposed configurations, locations or dimensions of
the Public Improvements, shall be permitted to accommodate development needs consistent with
the then-current Approved Development Plans for the Project and any agreement approved by the
City Council pursuant to the Section IV.B of this Service Plan. Any action of one or more of the
Districts, which is a material modification of this Service Plan requiring a Service Plan
Amendment as provided in in Section XV of this Service Plan or that does not comply with any
provision of this Service Plan, shall be deemed to be a material modification to this Service Plan
unless otherwise expressly provided in this Service Plan. All other departures from the provisions
of this Service Plan shall be considered on a case-by-case basis as to whether such departures are
a material modification under this Service Plan or the Special District Act.
XV. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS
Material modifications to this Service Plan may be made only in accordance with C.R.S.
Section 32-1-207 as a Service Plan Amendment. No modification shall be required for an action
of a District that does not materially depart from the provisions of this Service Plan, unless
otherwise provided in this Service Plan.
Departures from the Service Plan that constitute a material modification requiring a Service
Plan Amendment include, without limitation:
1. Actions or failures to act that create materially greater financial risk or burden to
the taxpayers of the District;
28
DN 3520023.1
2. Performance of a service or function, construction of an improvement, or
acquisition of a major facility that is not closely related to an improvement, service,
function or facility authorized in the Service Plan;
3. Failure to perform a service or function, construct an improvement or acquire a
facility required by the Service Plan; and
4. Failure to comply with any of the prohibitions, limitations and restrictions of this
Service Plan.
XVI. DISSOLUTION
Upon independent determination by the City Council that the purposes for which any
District was created have been accomplished, said District shall file a petition in district court for
dissolution as provided in the Special District Act. In no event shall dissolution occur until the
District has provided for the payment or discharge of all of its outstanding indebtedness and other
financial obligations as required pursuant to State law.
In addition, if within three (3) years from the date of the City Council’s approval of this
Service Plan no agreement contemplated under Section IV.B of this Service Plan has been entered
into by the City with any of the Districts and/or any Developer, despite the parties conducting good
faith negotiations attempting to do so, the City may opt to pursue the remedies available to it under
C.R.S. Section 32-1-701(3) in order to compel the Districts to dissolve in a prompt and orderly
manner. In such event: (i) the limited purposes and powers of the Districts, as authorized herein,
shall automatically terminate and be expressly limited to taking only those actions that are
reasonably necessary to dissolve; (ii) the Board of each of the Districts will be deemed to have
agreed with the City regarding its dissolution without an election pursuant to C.R.S. § 32-1-
704(3)(b); (iii) the Districts shall take no action to contest or impede the dissolution of the Districts
and shall affirmatively and diligently cooperate in securing the final dissolution of the Districts,
and (iv) subject to the statutory requirements of the Special District Act, the Districts shall
thereupon dissolve.
XVII. SANCTIONS
Should any of the Districts undertake any act without obtaining prior City Council approval
or consent or City Manager approval or consent as required in this Service Plan, that constitutes a
material modification to this Service Plan requiring a Service Plan Amendment as provided herein
or under the Special District Act, or that does not otherwise comply with the provisions of this
Service Plan, the City Council may impose one (1) or more of the following sanctions, as it deems
appropriate:
1. Exercise any applicable remedy under the Special District Act;
2. Withhold the issuance of any permit, authorization, acceptance or other
administrative approval, or withhold any cooperation, necessary for the District’s
development or construction or operation of improvements or provision of services;
29
DN 3520023.1
3. Exercise any legal remedy under the terms of any intergovernmental agreement
under which the District is in default; or
4. Exercise any other legal and equitable remedy available under the law, including
seeking prohibitory and mandatory injunctive relief against the District, to ensure
compliance with the provisions of the Service Plan or applicable law.
XVIII. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH CITY
The Districts and the City shall enter into an intergovernmental agreement, the form of which
shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “K” and incorporated by reference
(the “IGA”). However, the City and the Districts may include such additional details, terms and
conditions as they deem necessary in connection with the Project and the construction and funding
of the Public Improvements and the Public Benefits. Each of the Districts’ Boards shall approve
the IGA at their first board meeting, unless agreed otherwise by the City Manager. Entering into
this IGA is a precondition to each of the Districts issuing any Debt or imposing any Debt Mill
Levy, Operating Mill Levy or Fee for the payment of Debt under this Service Plan. In addition,
failure of any of the Districts to enter into the IGA as required herein shall constitute a material
modification of this Service Plan and subject the District to the sanctions in Section XVII of this
Service Plan. The City and the Districts may amend the IGA from time-to-time provided such
amendment is not in conflict with any provision of this Service Plan.

PUBLIC BENEFITS NARRATIVE
Fort Collins, Colorado
Prepared for the

THE PROJECT
The Mulberry Corridor (“the Corridor”) is quickly becoming
the primary gateway to Fort Collins – Old Town, new hotels,
breweries, Woodward, the Poudre River Whitewater Park,
Poudre Canyon access, etc. This gateway does not represent
our City well. While enclaving the Corridor represents
significant progress, the Corridor needs a project to set a
high development standard and catalyze redevelopment. On
the last remaining large greenfield development site on the
Corridor, Mulberry (the Community) represents the perfect
opportunity to do just that. A Metropolitan District will provide
the financing mechanism to accomplish this higher standard of
development and accelerate redevelopment of the Corridor.
Our City is in desperate need of affordable and attainable
housing. Hartford has entitled, developed and built 1,000+
homes at affordable and attainable price points in northeast
Fort Collins – Dry Creek, TimberVine, Mosaic – since 2011.
Hartford’s ability to maintain these price points and deliver
affordable or attainable homes under the historical model is
no longer possible due to rising water, land, infrastructure,
labor and material costs. In order to provide this much needed
housing Mulberry will use Metropolitan District funds to offsets
costs of innovating on water sources and uses, community
and home designs, construction techniques, and public/private
partnerships, to deliver a minimum of 241 affordable, and
1,367 attainable units.
Mulberry’s vision is to deliver on these critical City objectives
and with Metropolitan District financing tools, will:
1) Catalyze redevelopment of the Corridor;
2) Create affordable housing units; and
3) Create attainable housing units to support the
workforce.
In addition to these top priorities, Metropolitan District
Financing will support the City’s objectives to:
3) Employ high quality and Smart Growth practices;
4) Incorporate Environmental Sustainability through
energy conservation, water conservation, and enhanced
community resiliency; and
5) Develop critical on-site and off-site public
infrastructure.
This mixed-use community will provide a variety of
opportunities for shopping, working, living, and playing,
including:
• A neighborhood town center located between the
Corridor and the residential portions of Mulberry, with a
central pedestrian-oriented market street acting as the
continuation of the central north-south greenway running
through the community; and including:
• Approximately 20-30 acres of retail, commercial,
office uses
• Up to +/- 160,000 SF of retail and commercial uses,
including the potential of a neighborhood-scaled
grocery store up to 50,000 SF
• Up to +/- 80,000 SF of office uses integrated into the
market street

1. CATALYZE THE MULBERRY CORRIDOR
MULBERRY STREET FRONTAGE, INTERSECTION AND
MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS
The Mulberry project would like to make improvements beyond
its boundaries to help establish the appropriate standard
for the Corridor redevelopment. Specifically, Mulberry will
contribute to the Frontage Road, the HWY 14 Median and the
Intersection of HWY 14 and Greenfields improvements. With
the appropriate infrastructure and landscaping improvements,
Mulberry can be a catalyst and provide an appropriate
entrance to our City.
Quantitative Benefit: Improvement Costs - $800,000
Qualitative Benefit: Establishing an implicit standard for
redevelopment of the Corridor; catalyzing investment in and
redevelopment of the Corridor.
Metropolitan District Role: Design, construction and
financing of all infrastructure associated with the frontage
area improvements adjacent to the Mulberry community,
including roadway, utility, drainage/grading, landscape,
identity and signage and other related improvements along
this corridor.
MULBERRY COMMUNITY GATEWAY
Per the East Mulberry Corridor Plan, this property is
uniquely positioned to provide a gateway to Fort Collins
from I-25. Two small parcels have been created between
the realigned frontage road and Mulberry Road as a part of
the ongoing County-led improvements, the westernmost of
which is located within the prop boundaries of the proposed
Mulberry community. Despite its ideal situation for a profitable
convenience store or drive-thru site, Mulberry would rather
see this site developed for an iconic City monument and
community entry feature
• This entry feature will reinforce the role of this property as
a gateway to the City of Fort Collins.
• This welcoming monument, were it to be supported by the
City, would be constructed and maintained by the Mulberry
Metropolitan Districts.
Quantitative Public Benefit: Foregone Land Value -
$1.25M; Entry Feature - $500,000
Qualitative Public Benefit: Establishing an iconic gateway
to the Mulberry Community, as well as a Fort Collins as a
whole

A variety of opportunities and potential delivery methods exist
to achieve the above guidelines, including:
• Qualified Census Tract – Mulberry is located in a
Qualified Census Tract, creating access to HUD financing
for affordable multi-family developers and builders. If
infrastructure costs can be offset by a Metropolitan
District, experienced, affordable housing developers have
expressed interest in the site
• Opportunity Zone – Mulberry is located in an Opportunity
Zone, qualifying long-term investments for new tax
incentives; this further provides viability for affordable,
multi-family developers
• Partnership with Habitat for Humanity – Hartford
Homes and the Mulberry community have been working
on a partnership with Habitat for Humanity to build the
affordable, for-sale residential units
• Land Trust Partnership - Hartford Homes and the
Mulberry community have been in early discussions with
several Land Trusts
• Partnership with the City of Fort Collins – Mulberry
would like to explore partnership opportunities with the
City - Land Bank or other similar programs
• Partnership with Major Employer(s) – Mulberry is
exploring co-investment programs with multiple employers
to provide workforce housing
• Builder/Developer Model – As Developer and Builder,
Hartford Homes has the ability to fully deliver or subsidize
costs, where necessary, to ensure delivery of the
affordable housing units
Quantitative Public Benefits: $65K per unit subsidy -
$15.5M
Qualitative Public Benefits: Provide for sale and for
rent affordable housing and create a more integrated and
diverse community.
Metropolitan District Role: Lower cost of infrastructure
(through District reimbursements), enabling creation of
more affordable units.
2. CREATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The financing and reimbursement options created by the
Metropolitan Districts will offset infrastructure costs during
development and enable the Mulberry project to deliver a
minimum of 241 residential units, or 15% of the total project,
at 80% AMI or lower. These units will be delivered under the
following guidelines:
• For Sale: A minimum of 40 units (2.5%) will be for sale
• For Rent: Approximately 200 units (12.5%) are anticipated
to be for rent
• Integrated / Dispersed Site: Approximately 40 units will be
built as ‘dispersed site’ units, integrating market rate units
and affordable housing units within the neighborhood. It is
anticipated that affordable units will be the same units as
market-rate units and will be integrated along a block or
product type within the community.
• Enforceability: Prior to or concurrent with preparation
of the Development Agreement, Mulberry will create
legally enforceable guarantees for affordable housing
commitments. Potential options include a contract with the
City for Land Bank, deed restriction, and reservation of
acreage.

3. CREATE ATTAINABLE HOUSING
In addition to the aforementioned methods to provide and
ensure affordable homes within the proposed Mulberry
community, the Mulberry Metropolitan Districts will allow for the
use of innovative land planning and construction strategies,
lowering the overall cost of housing and providing for a wide
range of market-rate attainable housing options.
RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN
Consistent with New Urbanist principles, the single-family
attached and detached homes at Mulberry are envisioned to
have predominately alley-accessed garages, with less private
yard space, but direct access to open spaces, pedestrian
corridors and public streets. This and related design features
are a critical component to developing smaller, more attainably
priced homes, including:
• Decreasing the amount of land required per home
allows the home to be sold for a lower market price.
(land accounts for approximately 25% of the cost of new
construction)
• Mulberry anticipates a density of 8.8 units per acre versus
LMN code standard of 4 units per acre. (an increase of
about 825 units) further diluting the overall cost of land for
development.
• Locating the garage in the rear of the home, allows for the
overall lot to be narrower
• Open spaces will be integrated throughout the
neighborhood, with construction and maintenance
provided by the Mulberry Metropolitan Districts, rather
than by private homeowners.
While alleys help facilitate denser and more urban patterns of
development, they also lead to somewhat higher construction
costs. The additional paving that is required for alley-based
community design is typically passed on to the homebuyer,
through an increase in the sale price of the home. The
Metropolitan District can be used to offset this increase instead
of passing it directly to homebuyers, creating an overall more
attainable neighborhood at Mulberry.
Quantitative Public Benefit: Alley Construction Costs -
$4M; Additional Utilities - $18M
Qualitative Public Benefit: More attainably priced homes
for Fort Collins households, increased space for community
interaction.
Metropolitan District Role: Lower the direct cost of
infrastructure for homebuyers; Design, construction, and
maintenance of alleys and common open spaces.
HOME DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
Home design and construction will play a key role in keeping
construction costs lower and home prices attainable. Key
methods employed will include:
• Constructing some homes with a slab foundation, as
opposed to a full basement
• Utilizing detached, condominiumized garages
• Utilizing ready-frame construction
• Building homes in 4’ increments only
• Reducing the number of corners in some home types
• Avoiding the use of steel
• Developing fully sprinkled homes with 2’ side setbacks
• Including roof top outdoor spaces and/or 3-stories, and
other strategies, as appropriate
7
4. EMPLOY HIGH QUALITY AND SMART
GROWTH PRACTICES
In planning the Mulberry community, special effort has been
made to ensure that the community will not only meet,
but exceed City standards, integrating best practices in
planning and design to create a high quality, environmentally
sustainable community.
As a New Urbanist community employing Traditional
Neighborhood Development principles, Mulberry proposes a
greenway system that will not only integrate nature into the
City but will activate it through numerous connections to pocket
parks, green courts, and front doors. Features include:
• A pedestrian-friendly mixed-use neighborhood center that
will function as the central node on the south end of the
community
• A central pedestrian-oriented greenway spine proposed to
run north-south through the center of the neighborhood,
flanked by a variety of housing types
• Pocket parks adjacent to the spine providing central
access to open space facilities and activation on the main
corridor
• A secondary bicycle path on the west side of Greenfields
Court to provide a more direct route for cyclists, which will
also allow the central spine to be more focused on local
pedestrian traffic
• A neighborhood pool on the east side of Greenfields Drive,
within a +/- 5-minute walk from all residential areas within
Mulberry
• An enhanced east-west greenway to connect from the
railroad crossing to Cooper Slough
Quantitative Benefit: Neighborhood Parks - $3.3M,
Swimming Pool - $3M, Commercial Center Promenade -
$3M, Enhanced crossings - $75K
Qualitative Public Benefit: Increased walkability /
connectivity, creating a better sense of community and place
in key gathering areas. Embracing Nature in the City.
Metropolitan District Role: Design, financing, construction
and maintenance of parks, commercial center promenade,
trail system and other related improvements.
NON-POTABLE IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Mulberry will provide for the construction and maintenance of
a non-potable water system for community-wide landscaping
and landscaping on individual lots. The proposed non-potable
water system for Mulberry will lead to a 45% reduction in
potable water demand. Utilizing the onsite wells for irrigation
reduces overall water dedication requirements, reducing
project costs and home costs. Simultaneously, the non-potable
system will reduce the monthly costs of homeownership.
Quantitative Benefit: Raw Water reduction - $22M,
reduction in monthly water bills
Qualitative Public Benefit: Less demand on water
treatment system; lower initial cost for homes; lower on-
going water costs than City system.
Metropolitan District Role: Design, financing, construction,
operation, and maintenance of the non-potable system.

5. INCORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH ENERGY
CONSERVATION, WATER CONSERVATION,
AND ENHANCED COMMUNITY RESILIENCY
Fort Collins Sustainability Goals are promoted throughout
the community with environmentally friendly design.
WATER CONSERVATION
An irrigation system, designed congruently with a water
conserving landscape design, is not a requirement of the City;
however, to achieve a water conserving landscape both the
overall planting plan and irrigation system will be designed
congruently. Once this is designed and installed, true water
savings is primarily achieved through the proper operation of a
strategically designed community wide irrigation system.
• Xeric landscaping and use of non-potable irrigation will
conserve water
• Plants with similar water needs will be grouped together
and a properly designed irrigation system will correspond
with this planting plan.
• The vision for the landscape character includes water-
wise landscaping throughout, which can reduce further
demand for irrigation water by about 20% compared to
conventional landscaping.
• Utilizing onsite wells reduces need for excess water rights
to be pulled from agricultural (“Buy and Dry”) thereby
preserving more water in its current state/use.
• Yard areas on some residential lots will be minimized to
reduce the amount of traditionally irrigated area.
Quantitative Public Benefits: Non-potable System Cost -
$4.6M
Qualitative Public Benefits: Xeric, Waterwise Landscaping;
preservation of agricultural water rights
Role of Metropolitan District: Design, financing,
construction and maintenance of common areas where
water conserving landscape improvements occur.
Holistic design, construction and maintenance of overall
infrastructure improvements and non-potable system.
ENERGY CONSERVATION
A commitment to 800 kW of solar capacity generated within
and distributed throughout Mulberry will further promote
resource conservation and renewable energy use.
Quantitative Public Benefits: Solar - $2M
Qualitative Public Benefits: Addresses City’s goals to
achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, with 2% from local
installed distribution generation.
Metropolitan District Role: Enforce delivery of system.
ENHANCED RESILIENCY
Cooper Slough Improvements, Lake Canal Improvements,
Community Resiliency through Flood Plain Reduction,
Pollinator Corridors
• Improvements to the Cooper Slough will reduce runoff
and lower peak flows through upstream planting and
mitigation.
• Improvements to Lake Canal will help to bring it out of the
current flood plain. This will reduce financial, health and
safety risks for the future while supporting development of
the commercial portion of the project.
• Landscape architecture will be designed to support the
flight distances and migration patterns of applicable

6. DEVELOP CRITICAL ON-SITE AND OFF-
SITE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.
DEVELOPING CRITICAL PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
To develop the proposed new community, significant
infrastructure elements are required, including the extension
of Greenfields Court from Mulberry Street north to Vine Drive.
This roadway extension is described in the East Mulberry
Corridor Plan and is a critical component of the City’s Master
Streets Plan, and it will:
• Provide a critical connection to the Mulberry and I-25
interchange for residents and businesses in northern Fort
Collins.
• Relieve pressure on failing or nearly failing intersections
(Timberline & Vine and Lemay & Vine).
• Require a railroad crossing for an existing railroad right-of-
way that currently serves industrial tenants along I-25, to
the east of the site.
Quantitative Benefit: Rail Crossing - $500,000, Vine &
Timberline Contribution - $250,000, Greenfields RAB -
$524,453
Qualitative Public Benefit: Better means for transportation
for Fort Collins residents, improved accessibility to
surrounding area.
Metropolitan District Role: Design, construction and
maintenance of significant roadway infrastructure associated
with the Mulberry community.
