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.
