(staff: Cameron Gloss; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) The purpose of this item is to provide Council with a progress report on two interrelated Land Use Code update projects that together address design standards for development in downtown and in transition areas at the interface between downtown and the Old Town Neighborhoods. 3. Proposed Changes to the Transportation Section of Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance and Process. (staff: Martina Wilkinson, Joe Olson, Laurie Kadrich; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) The purpose of this work session is to discuss refinement of the transportation section of the Land Use Code (LUC) Section 3.7.3-Adequate Public Facilities (APF) and associated process for evaluating intersections. The purpose is to create flexibility in the process. City of Fort Collins Page 2 In response to community interests and legal concerns, staff has been reviewing APF status. In August 2016, Council provided direction at a work session to move forward with developing refinements. Staff is proposing changes to the review of vehicular impacts associated with development proposals:  Combine Level of Service (LOS) review into one process and update the standards to be current and consistent.  Develop site-specific Alternative Mitigation Strategies in locations where APF thresholds are exceeded and typical roadway improvements are not feasible, not wanted by the City, or are not proportional to the impacts of a proposed development. The strategies will be developed by staff and identify localized transportation improvements considering holistic multi-modal review.  Implement the strategy for developments on a proportional basis to address their local impacts. This can be used as a basis to allow proposals to move forward. The outcome of the changes is they will address legal concerns and create a path forward for proposals restricted by the current process while ensuring that new developments pay their proportional share of infrastructure costs. City interests such as recognizing potential for infill developments, and supporting multi-modal transportation options are better accommodated with the changes. If Council expresses support of the approach, staff will complete the public outreach process and bring Code and Standards changes to Council for consideration in the coming months.  OTHER BUSINESS.  ADJOURNMENT.
