16 . First Reading of Ordinance No, 074, 2019 , Making Appropriations and Authorizing Transfers of �,
Appropriations for the Lemay and Vine Intersection Improvements Project and Related Art in
Public Places . (Adopted on First Reading )
The purpose of this item is to appropriate $9. 1 M of Transportation Capital Expansion Fee (TCEF) and
Transportation Reserve Funds into the Capital Project Fund for the Lemay and Vine Intersection
Improvements Project. In addition, this item will authorize the transfer of $91 , 000, one percent of the
appropriated funds, from the Capital Project Fund to the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund for Art Q
in Public Places.
The overall project cost, including design, property acquisition, and construction, is estimated at
$23. 3M. The City has previously appropriated $3. 7M, and this appropriation would add $9. 1 M to the
project. The remaining funding needed for the project is $ 10. 5M in 2019 dollars.
Chad Crager, City Engineer, stated this item is a request for appropriation for the next phase of the
Vine/Lemay realignment project, which is the number one transportation capital improvement
project for the City. This appropriation will allow the project to be completed more quickly and
at an overall lower cost.
Tim Kemp, Engineering Capital Projects Program Manager, stated this is an appropriation of $9 . 1
million of transportation capital expansion fee reserves which have previously been collected
through development impact fees and must be spent on transportation improvements that add
capacity to the network. Kemp showed photos of the area and discussed the issues with train

blockages and associated traffic delays . He noted these delays have a negative impact on mobility,
air quality, and historic character of the area communities .
Kemp detailed the proposed project and phasing plan, noting this appropriation will allow the
project to be completed one year sooner and completing another portion of the work at today's
dollars would be a benefit. The Council Finance Committee considered this item and supported it
being brought before the full Council for consideration.
Mayor Pro Tern Stephens asked how the design is being sensitive to the historic neighborhoods,
particularly the bridge aspect. Kemp replied early public outreach efforts have shown residents
would like a softer heavily planted side slope and stated ongoing conversations will be occurring
with residents .
Mayor Pro Tern Stephens requested staff provide simulations from neighboring properties for
those owners .
Councilmember Pignataro commended the idea of the project getting done earlier at a lower cost.

Councilmember Cunniff asked about the estimate of cost savings . Crager replied it is about three

Councilmember Cunniff suggested acoustic modeling of the train horns with this structure in place.
5
Mayor Troxell asked if the grade separation would eliminate the need for the train horn altogether.
Kemp replied that while the grade separation would be new, the existing Vine/Lemay intersection o
would be open necessitating a train horn at that crossing. He stated there is a possibility of 00
implementing a quiet zone in the area. a)
N
Mayor Troxell asked what is envisioned at the Suniga intersections . Kemp replied the intersection
at realigned Lemay and Suniga would be the new major intersection replacing the existing Vine
and Lemay and Suniga will intersect with old Lemay as part of a potential new development
project.
E
Councilmember Cunniff asked about restricting truck traffic on the old Lemay. City Manager
CU
Atteberry replied it will be a local street and any necessary measures will be taken to ensure that Q
occurs . Joe Olson, City Traffic Engineer, replied local streets discourage truck traffic and it will
be designed as such.
Councilmember Gorgol asked about the main concerns heard from neighbors . Kemp replied most
individuals are just curious about the completion of the project and design of 91h Street.
Mayor Pro Tem Stephens made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Pignataro, to adopt
Ordinance No . 074, 2019, on First Reading.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he would support this as it is a good use of the capital expansion
fee.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION N
The City has been pursuing a reduction in train horn noise through the downtown core for many years , most N
notably in the form of a quiet zone , which would allow train operators to refrain from blasting horns at every
crossing . These efforts have been met with resistance , challenges , and roadblocks from the Federal Railroad
Administration ( FRA) , who has to date proven unwilling to work collaboratively, or evaluate federal law beyond
a very strict and narrow interpretation . The City has been denied a waiver to the requirement for gates along the E
Mason corridor despite evidence of meeting safety criteria and has been unable to get firm next steps from FRA E
on what might be alternative solutions that they would consider. y
E
City Council and staff have worked with the federal government through multiple angles , including seeking r'
support of appointed officials from both the Obama and Trump administrations . These efforts have resulted in
additional conversations with the FRA but have not produced meaningful results . Recent visits to Washington ,
D . C . included conversations with our Congressional delegation and members of the Trump administration Q
indicating that a legislative approach could be the most expedient way to see relief.
With multiple opportunities to include language in upcoming federal legislation , such as the reauthorization of
the surface transportation act ( FAST) , the Fiscal Year 2020 federal budget process , or a potential infrastructure
deal , staff believes it is an appropriate time to engage outside help to achieve legislative results . A federal LA
could assist in trying to make progress on multiple fronts , including :
LL
• An appropriations provision prohibiting federal funds to enforce FRA requirements related to our efforts ;
• An exemption from the regulations for receiving a Quiet Zone from FRA; and E
• A permanent exemption via legislation that effectively establishes a Quiet Zone via Congress .
Staff has identified Squire Patton Boggs ( SPB ) as a preferred provider for lobbying services to address these Q
opportunities . The City will enter into the lobbying contract pursuant to Section 8- 161 (d )( 1 ) of the City Code ,
because there exists more than one responsible source , a competitive process cannot reasonably be used or, if
Item # 3 Page 1
Packet Pg . 37

Agenda Item 3
used , will result in a substantially higher cost to the City, will otherwise injure the City' s financial interests or will
substantially impede the City's administrative functions or the delivery of services to the public. The City works
with the firm on other projects - currently and most notably Halligan Reservoir efforts - and SPB has a national
team (including expertise in railroad issues) that we believe can help secure necessary sponsors and supporters
for relevant legislation . SPB has proposed a one-year retainer with the City at the cost of $7 , 000 monthly , or
$84 , 000 for a twelve-month engagement, however, the City will only be entering into the contract for seven `YL°
months at a cost of $49 , 000 , with an option to extend the contract if Council subsequently approves an additional =
0
$35 , 000 for another five months of engagement. Staff will bring this proposed additional funding in the 2020 U
budget revision process . SPB and staff believe this is enough time to make substantial progress on the legislative 0
rM
and regulatory fronts .
Staff plans to begin work with SPB immediately upon securing an appropriation , so as to not miss timely
opportunities in the Congressional calendar.
m
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS m
UM
a)
Staff has identified the General Fund reserves as a source for the needed $49 , 000 because the debt service N
payments related to the financing of the 1 -25/Project and Regional Police Training Facility projects was $350 , 000 z
less than originally budgeted for. The $49 , 000 to cover costs under this contract for 2019 will be deducted from =
this $350 , 000 savings and the remainder of the contract costs will be captured in the 2020 budget revision
process . c0

ORDINANCE NO, 066, 2019
OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR A FEDERAL LOBBYING
CONTRACT RELATED TO REGULATION OF TRAIN HORN NOISE
WHEREAS , the City has been trying to achieve a reduction in train horn noise through the
downtown core for many years, most notably in the form of attempting to establish a quiet zone
along the Mason corridor, which would prohibit train operators traveling along the Mason corridor L
from using train horns within the established quiet zone, except in rare circumstances ; and c
U
WHEREAS , despite various attempts, the City has not been successful in establishing a c
quiet zone along the Mason corridor due to the way the Federal Railroad Administration (the
"FRA") interprets relevant regulations ; and 0
WHEREAS , the City has not been able to obtain further direction from the FRA on what
might be a workable solution to establish a quiet zone along the Mason corridor; and
a�
N
WHEREAS , after further discussion with representatives of Congress and members of the z
Trump administration, it appears the best solution to establish a quiet zone along the Mason c
corridor would be to pursue various legislative solutions through Congress that may allow the City
to establish a quiet zone or to otherwise reduce train horn noise through the downtown core ; and
0
WHEREAS , staff has evaluated prospective providers of lobbying services and has co
identified Squire Patton Boggs (SPB) as the preferred provider to help secure necessary sponsors M
and support for a legislative solution to the train horn noise issue; and
00
,.
WHEREAS , this Ordinance appropriates $49,000 for 2019 lobbying services from SPB for N
seven months, with an option to extend the contract for an additional five months if Council
subsequently appropriates an additional $35 ,000 in the 2020 budget revision process, or otherwise ; o
and 6
z
as
WHEREAS , staff plans to begin work with SPB immediately upon securing an
appropriation, so as to not miss timely opportunities in the Congressional calendar; and
O
WHEREAS, this appropriation serves the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens
of Fort Collins and serves the public purpose of reducing noise pollution within the City' s
downtown core; and
WHEREAS , Article V, Section 9 of the City Charter permits the City Council to Q
appropriate by ordinance at any time during the fiscal year such funds for expenditure as may be
available from reserves accumulated in prior years, notwithstanding that such reserves were not

COLLINS as follows :
Section 1 . That the City Council hereby makes and adopts the determinations and

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
m
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION a
0
Chapter 23 ( Public Property) , Article IX ( Natural Areas ) , Section 23- 194(b ) of the City Code authorizes the 3
Natural Areas Director to administer a permit system for uses or activities that are otherwise prohibited under r'
Article IX . The current Code provides further direction that: N
N
The Director shall approve, conditionally approve or deny an application on the grounds set forth in this >,
Subsection, and the Director's action and the basis therefore shall be stated in a written notice to the
applicant, no later than five (5) business days after receipt of a fully completed application" .
�a
Due to the increasing number and variety of special use and commercial permit requests , the Natural Areas E
E
Department recommends extending the application/administrative permit review period from a five business day
period to a fifteen business day review period . Cn
E
m
Staff reviews applications to ensure the safety of visitors , prevent visitor conflicts , and protect wildlife , wildlife
habitat, and rare plants . In recent years the department has experienced an increasing number and variety of
permit requests with a concentration of requests coming in the spring and summer months . Activities such as
professional filming , drone flights , and numerous research requests characterize the range of special use permit Q
applications . Research requests can be particularly complex to review and typically require input from multiple
staff. To a lesser extent, processing the Department's Commercial Use Permit can require interdepartmental
coordination making additional administrative time necessary .
Description of Special Use Permits ;n
ii
Special Use Permit applications are traditionally used to permit otherwise prohibited uses , allow access to closed
sections of a natural area , or to permit group activities greater than 15 individuals . The most common permits E

are issued to conduct ecological research , educational programs , or to permit recreational or other activities that =
are otherwise generally prohibited in the Code . N
_
m
Description of Commercial Use Permits w
Requests to conduct (third party) commercial activity on a natural area is prohibited per Section 23- 193(d )( 14 )
of the City Code . Commercial use permit requests are deserving of attention as they are distinguished (from
other prohibited uses ) by the exchange of funds or services . Thus , commercial use requests are by reference
also subject to the Natural Area permit process outlined in section 23- 194( b) .

BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On April 16 , 2019 , the Land Conservation & Stewardship Board voted unanimously (9-0 ) to recommend adoption Z
of the Code amendment. c
PUBLIC OUTREACH N
rn
Public outreach was not conducted as the recommended Code change is largely administrative in nature .
00
However, staff consulted with peer open space and park agencies to gauge comparable polices and
administrative review periods for special use and commercial use permits .
_
m
Staff found that : E
1 . City of Fort Collins Parks Department requires a 10-day review period for special use permits that include a
variety of small and large events hosted within the Park ( primarily sports related ) and at Park facilities
(shelters , sports fields , etc. ) .
3
2 . Larimer County Parks and Open Lands requires a 60-day review period . oD
3 . Jefferson County Parks and Open Space review permit applications once a year due to their increasing c
number of requests . N
4 . City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks requires a 60 to 90-day review period depending on the N
specific activity requested .

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Item A : Ordinance No , 069, 2019 - Stormwater Utility Service Definitions
E
E
The City operates under a Colorado Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System ( MS4) permit, which requires the
implementation of programs to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to waters of the state . The MS4 Cn
permit is issued by the State of Colorado through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment m
(CDPHE) . MS4 permittees must prohibit and enforce on illicit discharges to the storm sewer system .
ma
The MS4 permit defines illicit discharge as any discharge to an MS4 that is not composed entirely of stormwater
except those specifically authorized by a Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS ) or National Pollutant Q
Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES ) permit and those resulting from emergency firefighting activities . The
MS4 permit also lists types of illicit discharges that can be excluded from the permittee5s response and
enforcement program .
Municipal Code Section 26-498 prohibits the discharge of pollutants and contaminated water to the City's storm ;n
sewer system and local surface waters . The recommended changes to the definitions below provide consistency
with the MS4 permit definition of "illicit discharge . "

Agenda Item 6
Item B : Ordinance No . 070 , 2019 - Electric Utility Service Definitions
Average annual electricity consumption: Adding this definition clarifies the meaning of the phrase as it relates
to calculations such as those related to the sizing of behind-the-meter solar electric systems (i .e . , "net metered " ayi
systems ) . This definition is related to the size estimation of a customer's annual usage during the application =
step for a net-metered solar project. The size of such customer system is affected by the 120 % rule which is
found at Colorado Revised Statutes § 40-2- 124 . The principle behind the rule is to allow the customer' s financial
compensation through credits for the energy generated on site to be sufficient to offset the typical annual c
electricity cost for the specific customer, while limiting the amount of that energy generation so other customers c)
can also self-generate , without requiring electric utility system reconfiguration . This statutory definition and
standard are included in Chapter 26 of the Fort Collins Code .
M
As Fort Collins Utilities evaluates future rate structure changes for solar energy export, the need for the 120% o
sizing rule will also be evaluated ; however, adding the "average annual electric consumption" now provides c
clarity for ongoing solar program implementation in the meantime .
co
0
Note also that Utilities' solar program administration has used 24 months of usage data when available . When y
this amount of data is not available , alternative estimation methods can be used . 11
CO)
• Definition : Average annual electricity consumption shall mean the average monthly consumption of the 00
previous 24 months of electricity use times twelve . y
Qualifying renewable technology: Staff recommends revising the definition of Qualifying renewable
technology to include technologies that store energy . This revision will allow other provisions of the City Code ,
such as net metering , to apply to storage technologies . Utilities anticipates that storage technologies will c�c
become increasingly prevalent for net metered applications in the coming years . Current City Code definitions
do not mention storage . Adding the following definition will provide clarity regarding the application of City c
Code to storage technologies . TOM
3
o�
• Definition : Qualifying renewable technology shall mean a qualifying facility that generates electricity N
using renewable resources such as solar, fuel cell , wind , geothermal , combined heat and power or
biomass technology , or that stores energy. (additions in italics)
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
�a
Allowing discharges from dye testing activities will eliminate the need to collect and treat the water contaminated E
with dye as a waste product, saving the City money in staffing , equipment, and disposal costs . There are no E
other expected financial impacts to the City as a result of the recommended code changes . Cn
E
The proposed electrical Code changes will have no direct financial impact to the City . '

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Lemay Avenue realignment and intersection improvements have been prioritized as the City's highest
priority Transportation Capital Improvement Project. The Lemay Avenue realignment and grade separation has E
been on the City's Master Street Plan for nearly 30 years and is a critical infrastructure improvement needed to
address existing transportation deficiencies , growth related impacts of new development , and neighborhood Cn
livability . The existing intersection operations continue to degrade which has led to increased safety, congestion , Y
and access problems for local neighborhoods , railways , emergency services , and the traveling public. Unlike
most railroad crossings within Fort Collins , the existing Lemay Avenue and Vine Drive intersection is greatly
_
impacted due to the proximity of the BNSF and Great Western Railroad switching yard along Vine Drive . 0
a�
Additionally, the existing intersection is severely congested with limited options to expand through lanes or turn Q
capacity due to the proximity to houses and driveways .
The Lemay and Vine Intersection Improvements Project will construct a new roadway ( realigned Lemay Avenue )
from Lincoln Avenue to Conifer Street, and a new intersection slightly northeast of the existing Lemay Avenue
and Vine Drive intersection . The project will also contain a roadway bridge over the Burlington Northern Santa ;n
Fe ( BNSF ) Railway and Vine Drive .
The construction of this project will alleviate existing deficiencies and provide a key infrastructure asset for growth
related impacts of new development in northeast Fort Collins . More specifically, this project will :

Agenda Item 16
• Improve quality of life , equity , and neighborhood livability for Andersonville , Buckingham , and Alta Vista by
removing arterial traffic volumes off Ninth Street
• Reduce accidents and congestion , and improve emergency services coverage by separating travel modes (D
from BNSF Railway switching operations o
• Improve air quality by reducing the emissions from idling vehicles , whereby aligning with the goals of the a
Climate Action Plan o
• Provide multi- modal connectivity to the new Sugar Beet Park at the southwest corner of Vine and Lemay
N
L
The overall project cost, including design , property acquisition , and construction is estimated at $23 . 3M . The
project is being designed and constructed in phases , enabling the project to move forward as project funding =
becomes available . Phase One advanced the project's engineering design to 50% , placed fill dirt for the future
bridge , installed a box culvert to convey stormwater, and completed a majority of the property acquisitions
necessary to construct the improvements . This total cost to complete this work was $3 . 7M .
E
As this project will be adding growth-related vehicular and multimodal capacity to the transportation network , the �
project is eligible to be partially funded using Transportation Capital Expansion Fee (TCEF ) funds . This project
will be replacing an existing two-lane roadway with a new four-lane roadway ; resulting in a net gain of two travel o
lanes . These new travel lanes will address growth -related impacts by providing additional capacity and are u
eligible to be funded by TCEF funds . Reconstruction of the existing two travel lanes is considered correction of
an existing deficiency and must be funded by other sources . To ensure funding proportionality, staff developed
0
a funding contribution model to assign funding responsibilities for TCEF , developer obligations , and other City o
funding sources . Staff calculated the total TCEF contribution available for the project as $ 10 . 7M of which $ 1 . 8M N
(2019 Dollars ) will be reimbursed by future proximate development.
a�
E
Approximately $ 1 . 6M of TCEF funds have been previously appropriated to the project as part of Phase One .
Appropriating an additional $9 . 1 M in TCEF funds for Phase two enables the following :
Right-of-way purchases for realigned Lemay Avenue , south of Vine Drive ; and the Buckingham Street
• extension from Ninth Street to realigned Lemay 3
• Complete the final design and begin construction c
• Complete dirt placement and install utilities along realigned Lemay Avenue
• Obtain Public Utilities Commission ( PUC ) approval for the roadway bridge and complete a Construction and N
Maintenance Agreement with BNSF
Staff anticipates the efficiencies gained through initiating the above items in 2019 will reduce the overall project
duration by one year. Reducing the project's overall time frame will also result in cost savings for the project.
E
Per City Code Section 24-304 , all appropriations for construction projects estimated to cost over $250 , 000 shall
include an amount equal to one percent of the estimated cost for works of art. The total Art in Public Places E
funds to be appropriated is $91 , 000 . This item will transfer $70 , 980 of the TCEF appropriations to the Art in a)
Public Places Program . Staff has identified the Transportation Reserves as a means to provide the additional
$20 , 020 needed to provide long-term maintenance for the art. 00

SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No . 075 , 2019 , Making Appropriations and Authorizing Transfers of Appropriations
for the Drake Water Reclamation Facility Sidestream Treatment Project and Related Art in Public Places .
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to request an appropriation for additional funding for the Drake Water Reclamation
Facility ( DWRF) Sidestream Treatment Project. This request is necessary to complete the permit- required
project within the required timeframe to meet DWRF 's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
( NPDES ) phosphorus compliance schedule deadline of December 31 , 2020 . Successful operation of this
infrastructure will also earn regulatory credits to delay future capital project expenses by upwards of 10 years .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The purpose of this agenda item is to request an appropriation of $ 1 . 1 million for additional funding for the
Drake Water Reclamation Facility ( DWRF ) Sidestream Treatment Project. The current project budget is $4 . 3
million . The additional $ 1 . 1 million appropriation will increase the project budget to $ 5 .4 million . The cost
estimate at 60% project design , completed in January 2019 , for the Sidestream Treatment project is greater
than the approved budget.
Key Project Drivers
The Sidestream Treatment Project is necessary for DWRF to meet future nutrient water quality regulations by
the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE ) . The DWRF NPDES permit includes a
phosphorus compliance schedule to ensure the City is successful in meeting the required phosphorus limits by
January 1 , 2021 . The Sidestream Treatment Project is a necessary addition required for DWRF to meet these
proposed phosphorus standards .
Nutrient removal projects have been identified as part of the Utility's Capital Improvement Planning ( CIP) and
Master Planning efforts for the last ten years . The current CIP-identified Nutrient Removal Projects required to
meet future nutrient limits by the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) and CDPHE and have future
potential costs of approximately $70 million by 2028 . The Wastewater Utility has been actively planning to
minimize this cost as much as possible through participation in the CDPHE Nutrient Incentive Program and the
American Water Works Association Clean Water Partnership . Participation in these programs could provide
the City both schedule and financial relief of up to 10 years .

Agenda Item 10
Rationale for Appropriation Request
A conceptual class 5 cost estimate of $4 . 3 million was developed for the 2017-2018 BFO cycle based upon
capacity, modeling , analogous projects and the available sidestream treatment technologies . As stated in the
BFO offer, the design was based on a conceptual design and a complete design could result in an increase or
decrease of the cost to meet the design deliverables . As design progressed , additional detail , including
equipment selection , and other specifications resulted in increased project costs . A contingency in the
additional budget request has been included , appropriate for the current level of design . The following three
major factors impacted the budget requiring this appropriation request:
1 . A new sludge feed pump station was required in addition to other improvements increasing construction
costs approximately $625 , 000 . It had been anticipated , but not feasible , that the existing sludge pumps
could be used . Thus , staff has now determined that their use is not feasible .
2 . Completion of the 60% design cost estimate (class 2 ) revealed an error in the original BFO class 5
estimate allowing the original BFO request to be approximately $325 , 000 under-funded . In the future , BFO
offer estimates , including backup documentation , will be provided to management staff for review.
3 . The retirement of the Utilities' lead programming engineer impacted the ability to self- perform all the
process programming , integration , and operator interface requirements of the plants . Additional support
from the equipment manufacturers and consulting engineers is required for process programming and
integration costing approximately $ 150 , 000 .
For the 2019-2020 BFO budget cycle , staff initiated a process where larger projects will start with a "design
only" phase so that better construction estimates can be obtained prior to appropriation . This practice will
address the budgeting issues that occurred for this project.
The current DWRF NPDES permit requires the City to comply with nutrient regulations by January 1 , 2021 .
The permit's compliance schedule also indicates the construction must begin by December 31 , 2019 . It is
critical to begin construction as soon as possible in 2019 in order to give facility staff adequate time to optimize
the system to comply with required nutrient limits by the January 1 , 2021 deadline .
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
In March 2013 , CDPHE promulgated Regulation #85 , requiring Publicly Owned Treatment Works ( POTWs)
with greater than 2 million gallons per day capacity to meet more stringent effluent water quality standards .
The regulation mandates that existing POTWs limit their effluent discharge on a monthly median value of Total
Phosphorus to 1 . 0 mg/L and Total Inorganic Nitrogen (TIN ) of 15 mg/L . DWRF currently meets the TIN limit ,
but the improvements installed with the Sidestream Treatment Project are necessary to help meet the Total
Phosphorus limit .
While phosphorus and nitrogen are building blocks of organic life , high concentrations in lakes , reservoirs , and
receiving waters can lead to lower dissolved oxygen levels , poison aquatic life , and eutrophication . POTWs are
only one of three major sources of nutrient contamination of receiving waters (urban and agricultural non -point
source run-off being the other two) but are the easiest to regulate being a point source contributor.
ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS
As project design evolved and the need for additional funding became apparent, the project team evaluated
the following project alternatives :
1 . Value engineering . The project team , including City staff, the general contractor, and the design engineer
evaluated construction and design variables that could be eliminated and/or reduced and still deliver an
effective project. While numerous items were removed or revised , this evaluation was not successful in
bringing the overall project costs down to within the available budget.
2 . Not complete the project . This alternative would jeopardize not only immediate regulatory compliance
performance but future nutrient compliance issues as well .

3 . Request $ 1 . 1M as an off-cycle appropriation request . This is the preferred and recommended alternative
by City staff. This alternative is also recommended by the City' s Water Board .
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This Ordinance appropriates $ 1 , 111 , 000 of Wastewater Fund Reserves for the DWRF Sidestream Treatment
Project (which includes $ 11 , 000 for Art in Public Places ) . Adequate funds exist in the Wastewater Fund
reserves to cover this request for additional appropriations . In the latest 10 -year Wastewater Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) , $80-$ 100 million of capital improvements were identified and this is a relatively
small increase . A rate increase beyond what is already planned will not be required as a result of this request .
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its April 18 , 2019 , meeting , the Water Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
appropriation . (Attachment 2 )
At its May 20 , 2019 , meeting , the Council Finance Committee supported the additional appropriation .

Presentation Summary a
• Special Projects Manager , Link Mueller explained the need for an E
additional appropriation of $ 1 . 1 million dollars for the DWRF Sidestream
Cn
Project . The Sidestream Treatment Project will remove soluble
ma
phosphorus with an Airprex System that chemically precipitates Fn
phosphorus out of the liquid stream . DWRF doesn ' t currently meetum
Regulation 85 phosphorus limit ( < 1 mg/L ) . The Airprex System will o
remove 90 % of soluble phosphorus from the sludge . The sludge centrate
loading accounts for 25 % of total plant phosphorus load . By treating the
sludge , prior to dewatering , it removes the phosphorus and some of the
ammonia while also improving the dewatering capabilities . The newly
proposed construction start date is July 19 , 2019 . The System must be
on - line and operational by December 31 , 2020 . The reason for an off-
cycle appropriation is because with a mid -cycle appropriation , DWRF N
could obtain funding but it couldn ' t be spent until January 1 , 2020 . 0

required project within the required timeframe to meet DWRF' s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System >_
( NPDES ) Phosphorus ( P ) Compliance Schedule deadline of December 31, 2020 . Successful operation of this c
infrastructure also will earn regulatory credits to delay future capital project expenses by upwards of 10 years . V

KEY PROJECT DRIVERS o
L
The Sidestream Treatment project is necessary for DWRF to meet future nutrient water quality regulations by a
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ( CDPHE ) . The DWRF National Pollutant Discharge Q
Elimination System ( NPDES ) permit includes a phosphorus Compliance Schedule to ensure the City is successful in c
meeting the required phosphorus limits by January 01, 2021 . The Sidestream Treatment project is a necessary
addition required for DWRF to meet these proposed phosphorus standards . Q
Nutrient Removal Projects have been identified as part of the Utility' s Capital Improvement Planning ( CIP ) and U
Master Planning efforts for the last ten years . The current CIP identified Nutrient Removal projects required to 0
meet future nutrient limits by the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) and CDPHE and have future potential a
costs of approximately $70 million by 2028 . The Wastewater Utility has been actively planning to minimize this
cost as much as possible through participation in the CDPHE Nutrient Incentive Program and the AWWA Clean N
Water Partnership . Participation in these programs could provide the City both schedule and financial relief of
up to 10 years . v�
u_
W
A conceptual class 5 cost estimate of $4 . 3 million was developed for the 2017 -2018 BFO cycle based upon
capacity, modeling, analogous projects and the available Sidestream Treatment technologies . As stated in the
BFO offer, the design was based on a conceptual design and a complete design could result in an increase or
decrease of the cost to meet the design deliverables . As designed progressed, additional detail, including
equipment selection, and other specifications resulted in increased project costs . A contingency in the additional
budget request has been included, appropriate for the current level of design . The following three major factors
impacted the budget requiring this appropriation request :
TOM
N
1 . A new sludge feed pump station was required in addition to other improvements increasing construction c
costs approximately $ 625,000 . It had been anticipated, but not feasible, that the existing sludge pumps N
could be used
2 . Completion of the 60% design cost estimate ( class 2 ) revealed an error in the original BFO class 5 estimate vi
allowing the original BFO request to be approximately $ 325, 000 under-funded . In the future BFO offer
estimates, including backup documentation will be provide to management staff for review =
3 . The retirement of the Utilities' lead programming engineer impacted the ability to self- perform all the
process programming, integration, and operator interface requirements of the plants . Additional support
from the equipment manufacturers and consulting engineers is required for process programming and E
integration costing approximately $ 150, 000 0
(U
0
For the 2019-2020 BFO budget cycle, steps were taken to address the budgeting issues that occurred for this =
project . Larger projects will start with a "design only" phase so that better construction estimates can be
obtained prior to appropriation . u_
U
The current DWRF discharge permit requires the City to be in compliance with nutrient regulations by January 1, c
2021 . The permit' s compliance schedule also indicates the construction must be started by December 31, 2019 . U
It is critical to begin construction as soon as possible in 2019 in order to give facility staff adequate time to

CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS N
This O appropriate $ 1, 111,000 of Wastewater Fund Reserves for the DWRF Sidestream Treatment Project .
Adequate funds exist in the Wastewater Fund reserves to cover this request for additional appropriations . In the
vi
latest 10-year Wastewater Capital Improvement Program ( CIP ), $89M of capital improvements were identified a;
and this is a relatively small increase . A rate increase beyond what is already planned will not be needed as a c

SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No . 076 , 2019 , Approving , Affirming and Ratifying Funding of the Non -City Share
of the NECCO Project by Offering to Owners and Developers of Property Within the NECCO Area a
Proportionate Buy- In to Connect to the NECCO Project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to adopt the cost share concept whereby development and redevelopment draining
into the Northeast College Corridor Outfall ( NECCO ) stormwater system are required to pay their proportional
cost share of the NECCO improvements if they choose to use the NECCO system in lieu of constructing
separate stormwater facilities . The NECCO stormwater system (or NECCO Project) was designed to provide
an adequate stormwater outfall for the area north of Vine Drive and east of College Avenue in order to alleviate
existing drainage problems and to facilitate development and redevelopment in the area .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Project History
The Northeast College Corridor Outfall ( NECCO ) Project was initiated in response to large development
potential north of Vine Drive and east of College Avenue . At that time , there was no adequate stormwater
outfall for this area of the city, which created a significant hinderance to development and redevelopment.
There were also drainage problems in this area from existing development, mainly due to a lack of stormwater
regulations when this area of the City originally developed . The NECCO area map is Exhibit A to Ordinance
No . 076 , 2019 .
In response to development interest in the area , design was initiated on a stormwater system that would help
mitigate existing drainage issues in the area , as well as provide an adequate stormwater outfall . The NECCO
stormwater design was managed by the City's Stormwater Capital Improvement Program group and was
completed in 2009 . The NECCO stormwater system schematic is Attachment 1 to this AIS . Construction of
the "backbone" storm sewer system occurred in 2016-2017 and the regional pond was constructed in 2018 .
Other portions of the NECCO stormwater system have been completed by development, and were funded
partially through the Developer Repay program and partially through the NECCO buy- in paid by the
development. Another section of the system is under design and will be constructed as part of Planning ,
Development and Transportation 's Suniga Road capital project.

Agenda Item 11
Cost Share Concept
Entities proposing to develop in this area ( Developers ) can choose to connect into the NECCO stormwater
system in order to receive the benefits of the system . Developers that choose to connect pay a proportionate
share of the NECCO stormwater system cost as described below. Developers that choose not to connect to
the NECCO stormwater system are required to meet typical stormwater requirements without the benefit of
NECCO . Since the NECCO proportionate cost for a development only covers its respective share of the
NECCO stormwater system , all properties still pay the standard stormwater plant investment fees ( PIFs ) in
addition to their respective share of the NECCO stormwater system cost.
The NECCO area was originally analyzed to determine which portions of the area are developed and
undeveloped . To define proportionate cost shares , the NECCO stormwater system was broken down into
individual project components and the cost of each component was divided among the area benefitting from
that component (e . g . , only those areas receiving a benefit from the regional pond pay for the regional pond ) .
The analyses determined that the City's share of the NECCO Project would be approximately 49% and the
appropriate developer share would be approximately 51 % . The NECCO stormwater system cost allocation
spreadsheet is Exhibit B to Ordinance No . 076 , 2019 .
To date , the City has been constructing improvements and is being repaid for a pro -rata share of costs for the
developer share of the Project as development occurs through development and/or repay agreements . It is
anticipated the City will stop collecting allocated costs once the appropriate developer shares of NECCO
improvements have been received . Current costs are based on a combination of estimated and actual
construction costs . The cost estimate will be updated to reflect actual construction costs as improvements are
constructed .
Although the NECCO Project has a long history and is partially constructed , the purpose of the proposed
Ordinance is to formalize the allocation of costs between the City and benefitted development, and the
allocation of the developer share of improvement costs among benefitted properties as they develop or
redevelop .
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The intent of this Ordinance is to establish a cost sharing mechanism that allows the City to recover the portion
of costs incurred to date for this project that is associated with new development and anticipated
redevelopment. To date the City has recovered $ 1 M of the $6M developer' s share of project cost. While this
project is a very cost-effective solution to the required stormwater infrastructure for future development and
redevelopment, there is the possibility that future development may choose to build alternative stormwater
drainage . Staff considers this risk to be minimal based on the alternatives considered before constructing this
project and the participation of development to date .
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its February 21 , 2019 meeting , the Water Board unanimously recommended that City Council adopt the
Ordinance . (Attachment 2 )
At its April 15 , 2019 meeting , the NECCO Stormwater system funding approach was presented to the Council
Finance Committee (CFC ) which supported going forward with this topic for Council consideration .
(Attachment 3 )
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Significant public outreach has been completed over the course of the NECCO planning and various capital
projects since inception in 2008 to the present. Outreach has been focused on property owners in the vicinity
of the NECCO infrastructure that can be served by the improvements , the North College Citizen 's Advisory
Group , and the Urban Renewal Authority.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Stormwater Utility proactively constructed an outfall to serve both existing developed and undeveloped ii
land near Vine and Lemay . The Northeast College Corridor Outfall ( NECCO ) stormwater system (or NECCO
system ) was designed to provide an adequate outfall for the area north of Vine Drive and east of College Avenue c
in order to alleviate existing drainage problems and to facilitate development and redevelopment in the area . U
The NECCO system is intended to provide a less expensive means of satisfying storm drainage for this area
through economies of scale than individual landowners could provide separately. The purpose of this item is for >_
City Council to consider adopting the cost share concept whereby development and redevelopment draining
into the NECCO system be allowed to pay their proportional cost share of the NECCO improvements if they Q
choose to use the NECCO system in lieu of constructing separate stormwater facilities .
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
Is the Council Finance Committee supportive of staff bringing forth an Ordinance formalizing the cost sharing
opportunity associated with the NECCO system ?

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Project History
The Northeast College Corridor Outfall ( NECCO) Project was initiated in response to large development potential
north of Vine Drive and east of College Avenue . In 2010 the North College Infrastructure Funding Plan
( Resolution 2010-023 ) was adopted by the City Council . At that time, there was no adequate stormwater outfall
for this area of the City, which created a significant hinderance to development and redevelopment . There were
also drainage problems in this area from existing development, mainly due to a lack of stormwater regulations
when this area of the City originally developed .
u_
In response to the development interest in the area, design was initiated on a stormwater system that would

NECCO design was managed by the City' s Stormwater Engineering group and was completed in 2009 . a
Appropriations were made through the 2015 - 16 Budgeting For Outcomes ( BFO ) process and further OU

Cost Share Concept N
L
At the time of development, a Developer can choose whether to tie into the NECCO system in order to receive
the benefits of the system . If the Developer chooses to connect to NECCO, they pay a proportionate share of Q
the NECCO system cost, as described below. If a Developer chooses not to connect to the NECCO system, then Q
they are required to meet typical stormwater requirements without the benefit of NECCO . Since the NECCO
proportionate cost for a development only covers their share of the NECCO stormwater system which serves as
a gateway to the City' s stormwater infrastructure, all properties still pay the standard Stormwater plant E
investment fees ( PIFs ) in addition to their share of the NECCO cost .
E
In allocating the costs for the NECCO improvements, the impacted area was analyzed to determine which E
portion of the area was developed and which portion of the area was undeveloped . To define proportionate �j
cost shares, the NECCO system was broken down into individual project components and the cost of each
component was divided among the area benefitting from that component ( e .g . only those areas receiving a
benefit from the regional pond pay for the regional pond ) . Based on the analyses, it was determined that the ii
City' s share of the NECCO system would be approximately 49% and the appropriate developer share of the
Project would be approximately 51% .
0
U
To date, the City has been constructing improvements and is being re- paid for a pro- rata share of costs for the
"developer share" of the Project as development occurs through development and/or repay agreements . The E
City will stop collecting allocated costs once development' s appropriate share of NECCO improvements has been
satisfied . Current costs are based on a combination of estimated future and actual construction costs . The cost
for a developer to buy into the NECCO system will be updated to reflect actual construction costs as Q
improvements are constructed .
Although the NECCO project has a long history and is partially constructed, the purpose of the proposed
ordinance is to formalize the allocation of costs between the City and benefitted development, and the

allocation of the developer share of improvement costs among benefitted properties as they develop or
redevelop .
Proiect Costs
Attachment 1 - NECCO Cost Breakdown Analysis shows the total estimated cost of the NECCO system to be $ 13 . 9M
of which development' s share is 51 . 5% or $ 7 . 2M and the City' s share is 48 . 5% or $6 . 8M . To date, $ 7 . 6M of
improvements have been completed and $875K has been received by development buying into the NECCO 0
system . As development and redevelopment continues in this area it is expected that the full $7 . 2M of the c
developer share of these improvements will be received into the Stormwater Enterprise .

Theresa Connor; this was developed before the URA - they did contribute to some land cost for the
pond as part of this project . In context with other projects, this wraps up the cost share portion of
NECCO and formalizes with Council approval how we cost share with the private sector .
For all of the undeveloped properties - it provides at least a portion of the stormwater system —
regional pond will provide detention and water quality treatment . Before NECCO all of the properties
had to build their own stormwater outfall systems .
c
Darin Atteberry; do property owners need to notify us of an opt in now or can they do that at any
UM
time ?
m
0
Theresa Connor; they can do that at any time a
O
U
Darin Atteberry; so, this is just away for us to recapture some of our expense v
w
Is the opt in price equal to the marginal increase in additional capacity? z
m
T
Lance Smith ; the costs are allocated depending on which portions of the system improvements you are 00
benefitting from and how much of that capacity you are using .
0
LO
Darin Atteberry; so, we are building the whole system - regardless of opt in TOM
L
C.
Theresa Connor; if they don 't opt in , they will have to build their own outfall - so it is voluntary but Q
would be cost prohibitive -we have worked together collaborative to date - it is an attractive offer and
we think they will opt in . c
E
a�
Ken Summers; I am in support but have a few questions .
Do we want to give them an option ? Is that really in our best interest ? E
Does it even make sense to offer an option ? Based on that, we are looking at a recommendation to 0
codify existing practices . I assume those who have participated feel this is fair, cost effective and
adequate . Do we really want parallel systems ?
ii
Theresa Connor; NECCO System Schematic; the area in red already constructed - blue laterals - thought
development agreements - we may work with PDT when they do Vine/ Lemay - this area will develop
as developers or other opportunity come to us . v

Darin Atteberry; where does the pond drain out ? E
M
U
M
Shane Boyle ; It does drain - off of Redwood - drains due east into Lemay and is pumped into the A4 Q
lateral - working to fix the A4 lateral and that is gravity
Ross Cunniff; with the cost sharing - the public benefits regardless of benefit to developers to pay less
money . Can you go over public benefits ?
Darin Atteberry; is the stormwater rate payer paying for the oversizing ?

ACTION ITEM :
Theresa Connor; Majority of benefit are to existing owners - 49% and 51 % between existing rate payers
and future development
Ross Cunniff; add that to the Council presentation - front and center
Lance Smith ; we do have some exposure if the development decided to do this themselves, the rate
payers would be impacted - to date we have recovered about $ 1M of the $ 7M u`

0
Theresa Connor; they would have to construct their own outfall — the cost of that directs them a
toward NECCO project - for our citizens this is very cost effective per acre . Partnership is good . 0

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY June 4 , 2019
City Council
WITHDRAWN FROM CONSIDERATION
STAFF
Noah Beals , Senior City Planner/Zoning
Brad Yatabe , Legal
SUBJECT
Items Relating to Various Amendments to the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code .
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. First Reading of Ordinance No . 077 , 2019 , Making Various Amendments to the City of Fort Collins Land Use
Code .
B . First Reading of Ordinance No . 078 , 2019 , Amending the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code Regarding
Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director Variances to Certain Land Use Code
Standards
The purpose of this item is to adopt a variety of revisions , clarifications and additions to the Land Use Code that
are generally routine in nature that have been identified since the last update in February 2019 . The proposed
change to allow the Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director to process certain variances
is presented as a separate ordinance because the change is not necessarily routine in nature and would allow
the Director to process certain variances currently reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinances on First Reading .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Land Use Code was first adopted in March 1997 . Subsequent revisions have been recommended on a
regular basis to make changes , additions , deletions and clarifications . While most revisions are bundled and
adopted on an annual basis , other changes may occur as needed so the Land Use Code retains maximum
effectiveness . The proposed changes are offered to resolve implementation issues and to continuously improve
both the overall quality and user friendliness of the Code . Additional details regarding the changes are contained
in the attachments to this Agenda Item Summary.
The proposed change to allow the Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director to process
certain variances is presented as a separate ordinance because the change is not necessarily routine in nature
and would allow the Director to process certain variances currently reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals .
The variances the Director would review would be limited to the following :
( 1 ) Setback encroachment of up to ten ( 10) percent .
(2 ) Fence height increase of up to one ( 1 ) foot.
(3 ) In the N -C-L , N -C-M , and N -C-B zone districts , the allowable floor area in the rear half of the lot increase
of up to ten ( 10 ) percent, provided the increase does not exceed the allowable floor area for the entire
lot.
Item # 12 Page 1
Agenda Item 12
(4 ) Building height increase of up to one ( 1 ) foot.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its May 16 , 2019 , regular hearing , the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously adopted staff recommendation
that City Council approve the revisions .
Additionally, at its May 9 , 2019 , regular meeting , the Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously recommended to
City Council approval of the revision to allow the Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director
to process certain variances .
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The proposed changes were listed on "This Week in Development Review, " a weekly online notice that is posted
on the Planning Department's website and sent to approximately 435 subscribers .

Problem Statement
The problem is that the current Code explicitly details all the Stormwater features to be
inspected with their inspections being at the point of installation. Adding new features, or
points of inspection, would require a Code change. Instead, the proposed language will
simply require inspections of specific private improvements and features at certain points
of installation as called out in the Development Certification Checklist required to be
submitted to Water Utilities Engineering. Any changes could then efficiently be made on
the Development Certification Checklist as they arise.

1096 Amend 3.5.2(D) to establish 150 feet as the maximum distance
between the staging area for emergency responders and access
into individual single family attached dwelling units
Problem Statement
A relatively recent development trend is to orient single
family attached dwellings such that they do not front on
public streets, private streets, or street-like private drives.
Instead, these dwellings front on connecting walkways or
major walkway spines and face common area open space
often referred to as greenbelts, or greenways, or green courts.
This results in the back of units facing a private alley and
consisting only of the garage with no direct doors into the
individual unit. Consequently, emergency responders and
their equipment can only gain access to these dwellings and
stage their equipment from these private alleys at the rear of
the units. But in order to get into the unit, emergency c
responders must go around three sides of the building to the N
front. Such arrangements also require alleys to be named and
that addresses be posted in the back.
d
The standard requirement for building perimeter access for 0
fire fighting in the Fire Code for the Poudre Fire Authority is
150 feet as measured from the designated fire lane around the
building. While this standard is adequate for addressing the
physical building perimeter, and may be slightly increased if M
there is an automatic fire sprinkler systems, it is silent with J
regard to doors that provide access into individual units for 00
medical emergencies. 0
Proposed Solution Overview 0
The proposed solution is to add a requirement that at least 3
one door provide direct access for emergency responders into an y
individual single family attached unit and not be greater than 150 0
feet from where emergency responders and their equipment can rm
0
stage and this access cannot be through the garage. Related Code a

1098 Amend 3.8.17(A)(2)(b) - Building Height - Measuring Building Height - to correct a Q
discrepancy and delete the ability of a residential structure to use the 25-feet from floor-to
floor allowance
Problem Statement
This section allows the height of a residential structure to measured as a maximum of 25
feet from floor-to-floor. This standard contains two references : commercial and
residential. The reference to residential was inadvertently not deleted at the time a newer
standard was adopted which calls for the maximum vertical height of 12 feet, eight inches,
for each residential story, which is now the prevailing standard. The two standards are in
conflict. Also, at this time, adding a reference to industrial would provide further

explanation as industrial buildings are more likely to rely on greater distances between
floors than commercial buildings such as offices, hotels, retail stores and the like.
Proposed Solution Overview
The proposed solution is to delete the reference to residential in the standard that allows
commercial buildings to have a maximum height of 25 feet from floor-to-floor and add a
reference to industrial buildings. Related Code Revisions

1099 Amend 4.4(13)(3)(d) - R-L Permitted Use List - to add Wireless Telecommunications
Facility as a Type Two accessory use but restricted to non-residential properties such as
Places of Worship or Assembly, and only if stealth.
Problem Statement
o_
The creation of private sector wireless communication networks has evolved since the N
adoption of the federal Wireless Telecommunication Act of 1996 . As originally
implemented, monopoles, ranging in height from 40 to 100 feet, were deemed adequate to d
provide coverage over a specified geographic area. Now, with new technologies, and a c
higher concentration of users in urban areas, providers are building networks that use a V
combination of facilities (pole-mounted antennas) and equipment (building-mounted
antennas) that are at lower heights but more frequently dispersed. M
c
�a
Recently staff has processed two Requests for Additions of Permitted Use to allow
Wireless Telecommunications Facilities in the R-L zone. Both were located on 00
nonresidential properties, mitigated by stealth installation and both were approved. With 0
large areas of the City zoned R-L, and with the demand by consumers for coverage and
market response to provide coverage, allowing Facilities in the R-L would be appropriate
but restricted to non-residential properties. As mitigation, installations using stealth
techniques, such as church steeples, bell towers or silos would be required.

Proposed Solution Overview =
The proposed solution is to add Wireless Telecommunications Facilities as a Type Two a

Avenue portion of the C-S zone.
Problem Statement
Storage units are a land use that is contrary to the vision for urban evolution of synergistic
uses in the C-S-zoned portions of the North College Avenue corridor. The vision is
explained in the adopted North College Corridor Plan. An Urban Renewal Plan, Market
Analysis, and an Infrastructure Funding Plan are also in place to help implement the
vision.
Packet Pg . 441
12.2
The City and its Urban Renewal Authority (URA) Citizen Advisory Group (CAG)
continually seek solutions to remedy problems of past ad hoc subdivision of land when the
area was the outskirts of town along US Highway 287 . Examples of such problems are
defective and inadequate street layout and faulty lot layout in relation to accessibility,
utility infrastructure, drainage, flooding, and overall functionality as part of the city.
Retrofitting needed infrastructure and improving functionality generally depend upon
cooperation and participation across various existing land parcels. Assembly of land or
land pooling by owners of multiple parcels is needed in some cases to form more cohesive
development. These issues are described in plan documents .
The risk of a new storage unit development project creating a potentially new obstacle to
achieving the vision and goals has been recognized by staff and the URA CAG for some
time. There have been inquiries by owners where this would be the case. In discussions
with staff, inquiries have so far not become actual development proposals.
Enclosed Mini-Storage Facilities are a relatively expedient use with minimal need for 0
connectivity or public infrastructure, creating spots of low activity with no synergy with 4
surrounding parcels. Storage uses exist and are appropriate in an Industrial zone portion
of the area on the east side of North College Avenue. d
ma
0
A significant amount of public investment has been expended in the corridor to implement U
the vision and remedy problems. Local, State and Federal funds have been used to 0
construct major public improvements from Jefferson Street to State Highway 1 including
street, railroad, drainage, and other utility infrastructure with associated beautification and
pedestrian improvements. Staff s latest estimate of public investment since adoption of J
the North College Corridor Plan in 1995 is in the range of $50-60 million. This 00
investment has resulted in economic activity and real estate development projects such as
00
the North College Marketplace, Lyric Cinema, Crowne Apartments at Old Town North,
and Jax Expansion among others. d
3
Since the original 1995 North College Corridor Plan and its associated zoning, conditions y
w
have changed to the point where there is positive economic momentum resulting in urban 0
rm
evolution, but crucial improvements are still needed in key portions of the area where a 0
storage unit development would be incompatible. Q.

1102 Amend 5. 1 .2 - Definition of a Neighborhood Center - to match the description of a
Neighborhood Center as stated in the LMN development standards - 4.5(D)(3) - for
consistency.
Problem Statement
The definition of `Neighborhood Center' in the LMN zone does not match the standards
for the LMN zoning district in Article 4. The difference : the LMN zone district includes
mixed-use dwelling units as an option for one of two uses that must be combined in order
to qualify a development as a Neighborhood Center; while the definition in Article 5
mentions "a combination of at least two (2) nonresidential uses . . . ".
Thus the question is whether or not the inclusion of a dwelling unit above a nonresidential
use qualifies a development as a Neighborhood Center. The LMN zone district list of o
Permitted Uses includes the following (note that mixed-use dwelling units are included) : N
"Neighborhood centers consisting of at least two (2) of the following uses: mixed-use
dwelling units; retail stores; convenience retail stores; personal and business service
shops; small animal veterinary facilities; offices, financial services and clinics; community o
facilities; neighborhood support/ recreation facilities; schools; child care centers; limited V
m
indoor recreation establishments; open-air farmers markets; and places of worship or y
assembly." Likewise a Land Use Standard in the LMN zone district states:
c
�a
4 . 5 (D)(3)(c)
"Land Use Requirements. A neighborhood center shall include two (2) or more of the 00
following uses : mixed-use dwelling units; community facilities; neighborhood
00
support/recreation facilities; schools; child care centers; places of worship or assembly;
convenience retail stores; retail stores; offices, financial services and clinics . . . "
N
Contrary to those LMN standards, the definition of Neighborhood Center mentions two
nonresidential uses : C

"Neighborhood center shall mean a combination of at least two (2) nonresidential uses and C
an outdoor space, which together provide a focal point and a year-round meeting place for Q-

Problem Statement
Since the adoption of the Code, projects that are not required to be subject to a public
hearing, either Type One or Two, were referred to as Building Permit Review and then later
renamed to Basic Development Review (BDR). Such projects include uses that are
fundamentally considered compatible with the underlying zone district and are generally not
complex. All relevant standards are applied to these projects. The original Code section that
describes the overview of the development review procedures made no mention of this review

process because there was, at that time, no formal routing, commenting, project tracking and no
requirement for a public hearing. Over time, however, BDR' s have become more formalized.
Consequently, the Code would be more current and user-friendly if BDR' s were described in
the overview. Proposed Solution Overview
The solution is to add references to BDR' s in the overview section and make minor edits

ornamental trees to traffic control sign and devises. Twenty feet of separation from a tree N
to a stop (or yield sign), as well as 20 feet of separation from a tree to a traffic signal has
presented challenges in maintaining adequate sight distance to the traffic signage and
signals. A greater separation of 50 feet would help ensure that line of sight to the traffic ma

.`
We recently adopted a Code revision that removes the obligation to provide notice (sign
posting, newspaper published notice and written letter to A.P .O. 's) for all B .D.R. 's that p
are not Minor Subdivisions that create new lots. Since all B .D.R. ' s are appealable, there
remains a burden to let the public know that a decision has been made. With the new m
revision, we have moved from providing an abundance of notice to providing a dearth of
notice. If a B .D.R. decision is appealable, but there is no practical manner for an abutting
property owner to become informed of such decision, then the appeal process lacks Q
transparency.
Proposed Solution Overview
The proposed solution is to provide post-decision notice to abutting property owners.

Problem Statement
City Council adopted Resolution 2016-074 expressing Council's intent and General Policy
Considerations Regarding Night Sky Objectives (September 20, 2016). The Resolution
states that, "the City will incorporate dark sky policies and standards into Building Codes,
Land Use Codes, and Streetscape standards when applicable and appropriate." An
interdisciplinary staff team continues to work with a consultant to comprehensively
address lighting issues and promote dark sky policies both on a citywide basis, and out of
the city in the case of natural areas.
In the short term, however, staff has identified two quick fixes to acknowledge the advent
of LED (light emitting diodes) technology and to implement a maximum correlated color
temperature (CCT) to reduce glare. These two revisions have been identified as y
noncontroversial and are being practiced now but on a recommendation basis only. c
Codifying at this time allows for the implementation of dark sky policies in a timely 17

Performance Standards - to clarify the scope of the buffer zone and emphasize that non-
native trees & vegetation must be evaluated in the ECS for potential ecological value. C
c
Problem Statement
a
Under (E)( 1 ), the sentence that allows stated buffer zone dimensions to be adjusted based 'c
on performance standards is currently worded in a way that confuses the concept. General
buffer zone dimensions are stated in a table, but those dimensions are accompanied by a
proviso that the decision maker may reduce a dimension if listed performance standards
are achieved. Current wording, however, suggests that the decision maker must reduce a E
stated dimension if necessary to achieve the listed performance standards. It would never
be necessary to reduce a dimension to achieve the performance standards, that is simply
incorrect wording. Q
Rather, the performance standards are to allow a dimension to be reduced if the
performance standards are met.
This wording has caused awkward and confusing discussion in at least two development
projects where a dimension was reduced based on achieving the performance standards,
but it was not necessary to do so.
Under (E)( 1 )(c), the current language states that only existing trees and vegetation that are
deemed significant per 3 .2 . 1 - Tree Protection Standards for Landscape Plans - are to be
preserved. Staff has found, however, that existing non-significant trees and vegetation
have habitat value and must be considered for preservation and accounted for in any
evaluation by an Ecological Characterization Study.
Packet Pg . 44 ]
12.2
Proposed Solution Overview
The proposed solution to (E)( 1 ) is to reword the language for clarity. The proposed
solution to (E)(1 )(c) is to revise and add language that states all non-native trees and
vegetation must be considered for preservation even though some species may not be
considered significant under the Tree Protection standards for Landscape Plans in
3 .2 . 1 (F). This would allow clusters of non-native species such as Siberian Elms
and Russian Olive to be considered for habitat and ecological values. Related Code

Problem Statement
The current Code section is in need of updating and enhanced specificity. City
Environmental Planning staff have encountered numerous development projects where V
trees proposed for removal do not meet tree mitigation criteria in 3 .2 . 1 under Landscaping y
yet provide habitat value, as determined by Environmental staff during site visits and/or
biologists in ecological characterization studies. While tree mitigation in 3 .2. 1 accounts =
for lost ecological and environmental value, habitat value is secondary to tree condition, J
caliper and species, thereby disqualifying trees with habitat value from mitigation. There
00
is a need to allow environmental planners to mitigate for lost habitat value to better reflect c
the intent of section 3 .4. 1 of the Code, which strives to protect natural habitats and O0
features on the site and in the vicinity of the site during development.

Problem Statement
When the LUC was established, there was no formalized Basic Development Review
procedure. These projects were considered minor in scope and permitted subject to
simply applying for a building permit and the review process was informally managed by
the zoning administrator as a building permit review. As time went on, however, these
projects became more complex requiring a review process more comparable to a P .D.P.
versus a building permit. The term Basic Development Review was initiated along with a y
more formal review process, which now includes an appeal procedure and contained C
within a relatively new section 2 . 18 . Currently, under the Common Development Review N

The actual property line was a surprise to the owner, as they built the house and have lived there for
20 years . The owner and all the neighbors considered the back fence to be the property line . The
sunroom will be visually appealing and will not block anyone's view.
Audience Participation :
( None)
Board Discussion :
Boardmember LaMastra requested the measurements from the fence to the edge of the sunroom .
Beals confirmed that is 15 feet . LaMastra stated this sounds nominal and inconsequential . The HOA N
will not make everyone redo the fence . The perception is that this meets code . This was an error c
made in the past, no fault of the owner. N
Boardmember Stockover pointed out there is a large retention pond behind this property that will
never be built upon .
a�
Boardmember LaMastra made a motion , seconded by Long , to approve ZBA190017 for the c
following reasons : the variance request is not detrimental to the public good , the additional v
HOA owned detention pond immediately behind the property provides enough separation to y
meet a rear-yard 15 ' setback making this nominal and inconsequential . Therefore, the variance M
request will not diverge from the standard but in a nominal , inconsequential way, when
considered in the context of the neighborhood , and will continue to advance the purpose of
the Land Use Code as contained in Section 1 .2 .2 .

purpose of ensuring that the Land Use Code remains a dynamic document capable of responding
to issues identified by staff, other land use professionals and citizens of the City; and
WHEREAS , since its adoption, City staff and the Planning and Zoning Board have
continued to review the Land Use Code and identify and explore various issues related to the
Land Use Code and have now made new recommendations to the Council regarding certain
issues that are ripe for updating and improvement; and
WHEREAS, on May 16, 2019, the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously
recommended that City Council adopt the Land Use Code changes set forth herein; and
WHEREAS , the City Council has determined that the recommended Land Use Code
amendments are in the best interests of the City and its citizens .

2 . 1 .2 Overview of Development Review Procedures
(C) Which type of development application should be submitted? To proceed with a
development proposal for permitted uses, the applicant must determine what type
of development application should be selected and submitted. All development
proposals which include only permitted uses must be processed and approved
through the following development applications : first through a project
development plan (Division 2 .4), and then through a final plan (Division 2 . 5) . If
the applicant desires to develop in two (2) or more separate project development
plan submittals, an overall development plan (Division 2 . 3 ) will also be required
- 1 -
Packet Pg . 155
prior to or concurrently with the project development plan. Overall development
plans, PUD Overlays, basic development reviews , project development plans and
final plans are the four (4) five (5) types of development applications for
permitted uses . Each successive development application for a development
proposal must build upon the previously approved development application, as
needed, by providing additional details (through the development application
submittal requirements) and by meeting additional restrictions and standards
(contained in the General Development Standards of Article 3 and the District
Standards of Article 4) . Overall development plans, basic development reviews
and project development plans may be consolidated into one ( 1 ) application for
concurrent processing and review when appropriate under the provisions
of Section 2 . 2 . 3 . The purpose, applicability and interrelationship of these types of
development applications are discussed further in Section 2 . 1 . 3 .

development" ("LOD ") and natural habitatar€-a buffer zones established according to
Section 3 .4. 1 (Natural Habitats and Features) .
(B) Purpose. The intent of this Section is to require preparation of landscape and tree
protection plans that ensure significant canopy cover is created, diversified and
maintained shag so that all associated social and environmental benefits are
maximized to the extent reasonably feasible. These benefits include reduced erosion and
stormwater runoff, improved water conservation, air pollution mitigation, to reduced
glare and heat build-up, contribute to visual
quality increased aesthetics, and improved
continuity within and between developments . Trees planted in appropriate spaces also;

(D) Tree Planting Standards . All developments shall establish groves and belts of trees along
all city streets, in and around parking lots, and in all landscape areas that are located
within fifty (50) feet of any building or structure in order to establish at least a partial
urban tree canopy. The groves and belts may also be combined or interspersed with other
landscape areas in remaining portions of the development to accommodate views and
functions such as active recreation and storm drainage.
( 1 ) Minimum Plantings/Description. These tree standards require at least a minimum
tree canopy but are not intended to limit additional tree plantings in any remaining
portions of the development. Groves and belts of trees shall be required as
follows :
(c) "full tree stocking" shall be required in all landscape areas within fifty
(50) feet of any building or structure as further described below.
Landscape areas shall be provided in adequate numbers, locations and

that any planting cutouts in walkways shall contain at least sixtee thirty-
two (4b32) square feet. A minimum planting cutout of four (4) feet wide
shall be provided and the recommended lengths are as follows : eight (8)
feet, ten ( 10) feet or twelve ( 12) feet. Applicants are encouraged to
investigate and implement, subject to City approval, alternative methods
or subsurface technologies to promote tree root growth. Planting cutouts,
planters or other landscape areas for tree planting shall be provided within
any walkway that is twelve ( 12) feet or greater in width adjoining a
vehicle use area that is not covered with an overhead fixture or canopy
that would prevent growth and maturity.
(2) Street Trees. Planting of street trees shall occur in the adjoining street right-of-
way, except as described in subparagraph (b) below, in connection with the
development by one ( 1 ) or more of the methods described in subparagraphs (a)
through (se) below:
(b) Wherever the sidewalk is attached to the street in a manner that fails to
comply with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, canopy
shade trees shall be established in an area ranging from three four (34) to
seven (7) feet behind the sidewalk at the spacing intervals as required in
subsection (a) above . Planting shall occur on public right-of-way if it is
-4-
Packet Pg . 158
wide enough, otherwise trees shall be planted on adjoining private
property to comply with this subsection.
(c) Wherever the sidewalk is attached to the street and is ten ( 10) feet or more
in width, or extends from the curb to the property line, canopy shade trees
shall be established in planting cutout areas of at least sill} thirty-two
(4-632) square feet at thirty-foot to forty-foot spacing.
(d) Ornamental trees shall be planted in substitution for the canopy shade
trees required in subsection (D)(2)(a) and (b) above where overhead lines
and fixtures prevent normal growth and maturity. Ornamental trees shall
be placed at least fifteen ( 15) feet away from any streetlight.
(e) Wherever existing ash trees (Fraxinus species) are in the adjoining street
right-of-way, the applicant shall coordinate and obtain an onsite analysis
with the City Forester to determine replacement canopy shade trees either
through shadow planting or other emerald ash borer mitigation methods .
(3 ) Minimum Species Diversity. To prevent uniform insect or disease susceptibility
and eventual uniform senescence on a development site or in the adjacent area or
the district, species diversity is required, and extensive monocultures are
prohibited. The following minimum requirements shall apply to any development
plan.

(F) Tree Dr^ Preservation and Mitigation n,.plae,.m ent Existing significant trees
(six (6) inches and greater in diameter) within the LOD and within natural habitat area
buffer zones shall be preserved to the extent reasonably feasible and may help satisfy the
landscaping requirements of this Section as set forth above. Such trees shall be
considered "protected" trees within the meaning of this Section, subject to the exceptions
contained in subsection (2) below. Streets, buildings and lot layouts shall be designed to
minimize the disturbance to significant existing trees . All required landscape plans shall
accurately identify the locations, species, size and condition of all significant trees, each
labeled showing the applicant's intent to either remove, transplant or protect.
Where it is not feasible to protect and retain significant existing tree(s) or to transplant
them to another on-site location, the applicant shall replace such tree(s) according to the
following schedule
and requirements and shall . Replaeement trees shall be used to satisfy
the tree planting standards of this Section. To the extent reasonably feasible,
Rreplacement trees shall be planted either the development site or, if not reasonably
feasible, in the closest available and suitable planting site on public or private property.
The closest available and suitable planting site shall be selected within one-half ('/2) mile
(2,640 feet) of the development site, subject to the following exceptions . If suitable
planting sites for all of the replacementmitigatien trees are not available within one-half
(1/2) mile (2 , 640 feet) of the development, then the plaRting site sIi^ " he.-.

available for- all of the mitigation tfees wiabin one ( 1 ) mile (5 ,280 feet) of the
development t site, then the City Forester shall determine the most suitable planting
location within the City' s boundaries as close to the development site as feasible. If
locations for planting replacement trees cannot be located within one-half ( %2) mile of the
development site, the applicant may, instead of planting such replacement trees, submit a
payment in lieu to the City of Fort Collins Forestry Division to be used to plant
replacement trees to plant replacement trees as close to the development site as possible .

Tree protection methods shall be delineated on the demolition plans and development
plans .
(2) All protected existing trees shall be pruned to the City of Fort Collins Forestry
Division standards .
(3 ) Prior to and during construction, barriers shall be erected around all protected
existing trees with such barriers to be of orange construction or chain link fencing
a minimum of four (4) feet in height, secured with metal T-posts, no closer than
six (6) feet from the trunk or one-half (1/2) of the drip line, whichever is greater.
Concrete blankets, or equivalent padding material, wrapped around the tree
trunk(s) is recommended and adequate for added protection during construction.
There shall be no storage or movement of equipment, material, debris or fill
within the fenced tree protection zone. A tree protection plan must be submitted to
and approved by the City Forester prior to any development occurring on the
development site.
(7) The installation of utilities, irrigation lines or any underground fixture requiring
excavation deeper than six (6) inches shall be accomplished by boring under the
root system of protected existing trees at a minimum depth of twenty-four (24)
inches . The auger distance is established from the face of the tree (outer bark) and
is scaled from tree diameter at breast height as described in the chart below. Low
pressure hydro excavation, air spading or hand digging are additional
tools/practices that will help reduce impact to the tree(s) root system when
excavating at depths of twenty-four (24) inches or less . Refer to the Critical Root
Zone (CRZ) diagram, Figure 2, for root protection guidelines. The CRZ shall be
incorporated into and shown on development plans for all existing trees to be

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY June 4 , 2019
City Council

Jason Licon , Airport Director
Judy Schmidt, Legal
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No . 079 , 2019 , Authorizing Execution of a Deed of Dedication to the City of
Loveland for the Extension of Rockwell Avenue Across Jointly Owned City and City of Loveland Property at the
Northern Colorado Regional Airport.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to dedicate to the City of Loveland the right-of-way for extension of Rockwell
Avenue across jointly owned Airport property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In connection with development of real property adjacent to the Airport , the City of Loveland wishes to extend
Rockwell Avenue from its current terminus over and across a portion of the jointly owned Airport property,
requiring dedication of approximately 1 . 3 acres for right-of-way purposes . A map showing the location of the
parcel to be dedicated and the adjacent development property is included as Attachment 1 .
The cost of constructing approximately 700 feet of the anticipated future extension will be borne by the
developer of the adjacent property, with no financial contribution by the Airport. The full extension of Rockwell
Avenue is reflected on the Council -approved 2007 Airport Master Plan for future aviation needs . This partial
extension will benefit the Airport and is consistent with the Federal Aviation Administration 's ( FAA) regulations
and the Airport's grant assurances to the FAA. After this initial extension , the remaining portion of Rockwell
Avenue will , when completed in the future , provide access to a part of the Airport planned for future aviation
development.
This dedication by the City without compensation serves a bona fide public purpose by providing a portion of
the planned expanded access to the Airport, which will enable further development of Airport property jointly
owned by the City and satisfies the criteria in City Code Section 23- 111 for disposition of a property interest
without payment of fair market value because it will :
( 1 ) promote the health , safety or general welfare and benefits a significant segment of the citizens of Fort
Collins by enhancing the accessibility, developability and value of the Airport owned and operated
jointly by the City;
(2 ) support one ( 1 ) or more of the City Council 's goals , adopted policies , projects or plans , specifically the
2007 Airport Master Plan that depicts the eventual extension of the roadway to serve future Airport
development on jointly- owned property;
Item # 13 Page 1
Packet Pg . 184

Agenda Item 13
(3) provide financial support that is leveraged with other funding or assistance , specifically, funding of
construction costs by the developer, and maintenance and upkeep by the City of Loveland ;
(4) not result in any direct financial benefit to any private person or entity, except to the extent such
benefit is only an incidental consequence and is not substantial relative to the public purpose being
served , specifically construction cost for this portion of the extension will be solely borne by the
developer while benefiting the jointly-owned Airport property, the developer, the public, and the Cities ;
and
( 5 ) not interfere with current City projects or work programs , hinder workload schedules or divert
resources needed for primary City functions or responsibilities .
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There are no financial impacts to the City.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
At its May 16 , 2019 meeting , the Northern Colorado Regional Airport Commission adopted a resolution
recommending that the City Council approve this deed of dedication for Airport property to extend Rockwell
Avenue . (Attachment 3)

OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A DEED OF DEDICATION TO THE CITY
OF LOVELAND FOR THE EXTENSION OF ROCKWELL AVENUE
ACROSS JOINTLY OWNED CITY AND CITY OF LOVELAND PROPERTY
AT THE NORTHERN COLORADO REGIONAL AIRPORT
WHEREAS , in 1963 , the City of Fort Collins ("City") and the City of Loveland
("Loveland") (collectively, the "Cities") established a regional general aviation facility and
became the joint owners and operators of the Northern Colorado Regional Airport (the
"Airport") ; and
WHEREAS, the Cities currently operate and maintain the Airport pursuant to that certain
Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement for the Joint Operation of the Fort Collins -
Loveland Airport dated January 22 , 2015 , as amended (the "IGA"); and
WHEREAS, in connection with development of real property adjacent to the Airport, the
City of Loveland wishes to extend Rockwell Avenue from its current terminus over and across a
portion of the jointly owned Airport property and wishes to acquire the City's fee interest in a
portion of a jointly owned parcel of land consisting of 1 . 3 acres in size, more specifically
described on Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Dedication
Parcel") for right-of-way purposes; and
WHEREAS , the Dedication Property will serve as a planned extension of Rockwell
Avenue, benefitting the Airport and the City as a joint owner, allowing a secondary access point
into the Airport from the north, and reducing the Cities ' future obligations to extend the initial
700 foot portion of the road for access ; and
WHEREAS , City Code Section 23 - 111 provides that the City Council is authorized to
sell, convey or otherwise dispose of an interest in real property owned by the City, provided the
Council first finds by ordinance that such sale or disposition serves a bona fide public purpose
because it meets the five criteria set forth therein; and
WHEREAS , Council determines that conveyance of the City' s fee interest in the
Dedication Parcel to Loveland for right-of-way purposes without requiring Loveland pay
compensation to the City serves a bona fide public purpose of providing a portion of the
planned expanded access to the Airport, which will enable further development of Airport
property jointly owned by the City because the initial 700 foot extension of Rockwell Avenue
thereon will :
( 1 ) promote the health, safety or general welfare and benefits a significant segment of
the citizens of Fort Collins by enhancing the accessibility, developability and
value of the Airport owned and operated jointly by the City;
(2) support one ( 1 ) or more of the City Council's goals, adopted policies, projects or
plans, specifically the 2007 Airport Master Plan that depicts the eventual
- 1 -
Packet Pg . 189
extension of the roadway to serve future Airport development on jointly-owned
property;
(3 ) provide financial support that is leveraged with other funding or assistance,
specifically funding of construction costs by the developer and maintenance and
upkeep of the right-of-way by the City of Loveland;
(4) not result in any direct financial benefit to any private person or entity, except to
the extent such benefit is only an incidental consequence and is not substantial
relative to the public purpose being served, specifically construction cost for this
portion of the extension will be solely borne by the developer while benefiting the
jointly-owned Airport property, the developer, the public, and the Cities; and
(5) not interfere with current City projects or work programs, hinder workload
schedules or divert resources needed for primary City functions or
responsibilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS as follows :
Section 1 . That City Council hereby makes any and all determinations and findings
contained in the recitals set forth, and specifically finds that the conveyance of the Dedication
Parcel is in the best interests of the City, serves a bona fide public purpose and meets the
requirements of City Code Section 23 - 111 for the reasons set forth therein.
Section 2 . That the City Council hereby authorizes the Mayor to execute such
documents of conveyance as are necessary to convey the Dedication Parcel to the City of
Loveland upon the terms and conditions described above, and subject to such other terms and
conditions as the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, determines are in the best
interest of the City.
Introduced, considered favorably on first reading, and ordered published this 4th day of

City Council
STAFF
Michelle Provaznik , Director, Gardens on Spring Creek
Jody Hurst, Legal
SUBJECT
Resolution 2019-069 Naming the Gardens on Spring Creek Pavilion in Honor of the Everitt Family.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to approve proposed donor recognition for the Pavilion at the Gardens on Spring
Creek. The Friends of the Gardens Board of Directors and Gardens staff have raised $375 , 000 towards
completion of the Pavilion and five acres of new gardens and would like to name the pavilion in honor of Bob
and Joyce Everitt.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Gardens on Spring Creek is located at 2145 Centre Avenue in midtown Fort Collins . An element of the
Master Plan completion of five acres of new gardens includes a new pavilion . As part of the fundraising
campaign for the project, Gardens staff and the Friends of the Gardens Board of Directors raised $375 , 000
from the community towards naming the pavilion in honor of Bob and Joyce Everitt . The size of this donation
makes it eligible for City Council to consider naming a key element of the project in accordance with the wishes
of the donors .
Gardens staff met with the Friends of the Gardens Board and Everitt family to review several donor recognition
options . The preferred naming option selected was " Everitt Pavilion" . The recognition plaque is proposed to
be located on the south-facing wall of the stage . Constructed of zinc , the plaque will match all other plaques
located throughout The Gardens . The plaque will also include the names of donors who contributed to the
project. A final design for the plaque has not been determined .
City Code Section 23- 141 provides rules related to naming of City facilities as follows :
" In the event a significant financial donation has been made for the acquisition , construction or
improvement of a property or facility, the property or facility or a portion thereof may be named either
for the donor or in consideration of the wishes of the donor, which name may be that of a person
living or deceased . Donations shall be for no less than seventy-five (75) percent of the total value or
cost of the property or facility or portion thereof to be named . If such a donation is received from an
individual , family or entity, the City Council will give significant weight to a naming or recognition
request from the donor but will consider such a request in light of other policy or practical priorities
and concerns and the public interest in general . In some instances , the naming of a portion of a
property or facility or a specific feature of the property or facility for a donor may be an appropriate
alternative to naming the entire property or facility. "

SUBJECT
Resolution 2019-071 Authorizing the Assignment of the City's Private Activity Bond Allocation for 2019 to
Housing Catalyst to Finance the New Construction of Affordable Housing Units .
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to support the new construction of an affordable housing development , to be
located at 140 East Oak Street, by assigning the City's 2019 Private Activity Bond allocation .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The State of Colorado Private Activity Bond ( PAB ) allocation program is established by the Colorado Private
Activity Bond Ceiling Allocation Act, Colorado Revised Statutes Section 24-32- 1707 , et seq . , (the Allocation
Act) . PABs are tax-exempt bonds that can be issued by eligible authorities . The proceeds of the sale of the
bonds may be used for specific purposes as determined by the Internal Revenue Service . Permitted purposes
include , but are not limited to , affordable housing development and rehabilitation . Historically, PAB financing
has also been used by the City for economic and industrial development purposes .
In 2019 , the total amount available statewide is $598 , 034 . 220 . Fifty percent of the state ceiling is allocated
directly to statewide authorities and the other half is allocated directly to local governments based on
population size . The City has been notified that , pursuant to Section 24-32- 1706 of the Allocation Act, its
allocation of the state ceiling for 2019 is $8 , 773 , 643 . ( Attachment 1 ) This is merely the authority to take on
debt and is not an allocation of funding . The City will not incur debt by assigning this allocation and this will not
affect the City's credit rating . If a local government does not issue bonds or assign the bond cap to an eligible
entity for a local project or projects by September 15 annually, the City allocation automatically reverts to the
state' s pool of available bond capacity.
The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) offers a 4% Low Income Tax Credit Program which is a
financing mechanism for the development and rehabilitation of affordable housing . CHFA requires these types
of financing deals to include private activity bonds . Historically, Fort Collins has assigned its annual allocation
on a first come , first served basis . From 2009 through 2012 , the Fort Collins allocation was not used locally
and therefore reverted to the state 's pool of available bond capacity. In 2013 , 2014 , 2015 and 2017 the City
assigned its full allocation to the Fort Collins Housing Authority, now Housing Catalyst ( HC ) , for the
rehabilitation of affordable rental housing units . In 2016 , the PAB was assigned to CHFA for the benefit of two
local affordable housing projects .
As of 2018 , the City implemented an application process for requesting the City's allocation of PAB . The
guidelines are set forth in the City's General Financial Policies . Applications are due annually by March 15 . In
Item # 17 Page 1
Packet Pg . 227
17
Agenda Item 17
2018 , the City received two applications for the City's allocation of PAB ; one was from CHFA for DMA Plaza
and one was from HC for future affordable housing development. The City provided PAB capacity to both
projects .
This year the City only received one application for a qualifying affordable housing project . ( Attachment 2 )
This application was submitted by HC for the full $8 , 773 , 643 to begin accumulation of the PAB capacity
needed to fund a new development in partnership with the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority to be
located at 140 East Oak Street . (Attachment 3 ) . This is the site of the former Downtown Elks Club . The
property will be 66 affordable rental homes for households with incomes ranging from 0-80% area median
income .
The City's PAB committee made up of staff representatives from Social Sustainability, Economic Health and
the Finance department recommends assigning the entire 2019 allocation to HC for the new construction of
affordable housing . New construction of affordable rental units is a permissible and beneficial use of the City's
2019 allocation and support the outcomes sought by the City's Affordable Housing Strategic Plan . HC has
authority to issue bonds so the City will not be the issuer. For HC to use the City's allocation of PAB capacity,
City Council must adopt a resolution assigning the 2019 PAB allocation to HC for the qualifying project stated
in HC' s application . Additionally, the use of the City' s allocation is evidence of local support for this affordable
housing project , which helps leverage other funding sources and is required for CHFA's 4% Low Income Tax
Credit Program .
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The Private Activity Bonds will be issued by HC and will not be obligations of the City of Fort Collins . The debt
service on the bonds will be repaid from revenue generated by the housing development and does not
constitute a debt of the City. This action will not affect the City's credit rating . The construction of 66 units will
require goods and labor which will benefit the local economy.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Affordable Housing Board supports granting HC ' s request and recommends that City Council adopt a
resolution assigning the City' s 2019 PAB Allocation to HC . (Attachment 4)
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The Affordable Housing Board heard this matter at their May meeting which was open to the public. The
process to seek PAB capacity is detailed on the Social Sustainability Department's web page and the
guidelines are set forth in the City's General Financial Policies .

m
Request from Housing Catalyst for our Private Activity Bonds ( PAB ) . Every year, the state
gives us bond capacity—not actually funding but capacity . The Housing Catalyst request is
for a mixed - use project with 66 affordable units . It will be in the former Elks location Q
downtown in conjunction with Downtown Development Authority . They will require $ 12
million in PAB , which is more than this year' s capacity . Our allocation this year is almost $ 9 i
million and Housing Catalyst is asking for the entire amount to be assigned to them . a.
Housing Catalyst does have the authority to issue bonds , so they will issue their own . The o
PAB committee ( staffed by Social Sustainability Department , Economic Health Office , and N

Finance ) supports this request .

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY June 4 , •
City Council
STAFF
Erin Shanley, Broadband Marketing Manager
Colman Keane , Broadband Director
Cyril Vidergar, Legal
SUBJECT
Items Relating to the Shared Use of Regional Broadband Transport and Access Services .
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Resolution 2019-072 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City and
the City of Loveland for the Shared Use of Regional Broadband Transport and Access Services .
B . Resolution 2019-073 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City and
the Town of Estes Park for the Shared Use of Regional Broadband Transport and Access Services .
The purpose of this item is to consider two resolutions related to intergovernmental agreements authorizing the
shared regional Broadband Transport and Access services with the City of Loveland and Town of Estes Park.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolutions .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Regional Broadband Transport and Access
Between 2015 and 2019 , the City, Loveland and Estes Park identified the community needs and benefits
available by providing a reliable , cost-effective delivery of municipal broadband network services in and
through each municipality. Some of the benefits identified were :
• Cost sharing-to capitalize on volume discounts by which each city pays 1 /3 of the total shared system cost
• Pro-rata shares of customers-the ability to leverage volume pricing for a more robust system
Staff in Loveland and Estes Park worked with the Broadband Executive Director and Fort Collins Connexion
staff to design facilities and communication bandwidth (Transport and Access) that meets the scope , budget,
and service requirements for each municipal network . Based on updated requirements outlined by all three
municipalities , the facilities and communication bandwidth are set to include :
• Multiple transport facilities .
• Capacity estimated for launch of voice , video and data services .
• An increase or decrease in capacity (as needs change ) in order to meet customer demands .

Agenda Item 18
Resolution 2019-072-Regional Transport and Access IGA with Loveland
Staff is proposing Fort Collins and Loveland enter into an IGA for the construction , ownership , operation ,
maintenance and management of transport and access services for voice , video and internet . The intent is the
parties will develop a predictable price for transport and access services for voice , video , and internet .
Under the IGA, the cities would agree that Fort Collins must negotiate and contract for access to "Transport
and Access" and in exchange will be paid by Loveland in accordance with a cost-allocation formula provided in
the agreement.
The Transport and Access must minimally :
a . be of sufficient capacity and quality for both cities to each provide a 10-gigabit (Gig ) per second
service to their broadband customers for the two-year IGA term .
b . connect the cities' broadband networks directly to data centers in Denver, Colorado , Philadelphia ,
Pennsylvania , Sacramento , California , and any other data centers agreed upon by the cities .
c. initial Transport and Access provided through Fort Collins shall include the following
connections/components :
10-Gig to Sacramento ( Data & Video )
1 -Gig Ethernet to Philadelphia (Voice )
10-Gig dedicated in Denver
Burstable bandwidth in Sacramento
Dark Fiber to Denver
Cross Connects in Sacramento and Denver
Resolution 2019-073-Regional Transport and Access IGA with Estes Park
Staff is also proposing Fort Collins and Estes Park enter into an IGA for the construction , ownership , operation ,
maintenance and management of Transport and Access services for voice , video and internet on substantially
similar terms as those in the IGA with Loveland . The intent is the parties will develop a predictable price for
transport and access services for voice video and internet .
Under the IGA, the City and Estes Park would agree that Fort Collins must negotiate and contract for access to
Transport and Access and in exchange will be paid by Estes Park in accordance with a cost-allocation formula
provided in the agreement.
The Transport and Access provided through the IGA with Estes Park must minimally satisfy the same criteria
as that provided under the IGA with Loveland .
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The benefit of the IGA is that the City will have access to a more robust broadband network by sharing the
overall cost with the Loveland and Estes Park . Additionally, the shared cost approach allows the City and
Connexion subscribers to benefit from volume pricing on network infrastructure and bandwidth .

CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The CDBG and HOME programs provide federal funds from HUD to the City of Fort Collins which can be
allocated to housing and community development related programs and projects and administration of the
funds , thereby, reducing the demand on the City' s General Fund budget to address such needs . In FY2019 ,
the total amount of federal funds available for allocation is $2 , 187 , 930 and the City's contribution is
$ 1 ,414 , 695 . These dollars allow applicants to leverage other funding sources to provide needed services in our
community.
Through the provision of affordable housing , more of Fort Collins' workforce can reside within the community.
This means there is an available labor pool within the city, which is a positive benefit to economic
sustainability.
Human Service programs contribute to economic sustainability and homelessness prevention by providing
such programs as education , childcare , counseling , and rent assistance , so workers can maintain their
employment and housing .
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The CDBG Commission recommends adoption of their funding recommendations made on April 24 , 2019 . The
Commission read all applications , listened to presentations by each housing applicant, and asked clarifying
questions . In addition , in the Housing category, they reviewed the priority rankings of the Affordable Housing
Board (Attachment 2 ) , the goals of the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan and the priorities of the HUD required
Five-Year Consolidated Plan . In the Human Service category, they considered the performance of current
grantees , the priority areas of the Social Sustainability Strategic Plan (Attachment 3) , community needs and
the program ' s potential to address community needs . Each Commissioner then completed a scorecard to
reflect their evaluations of the Human Service proposals relative to a series of weighted criteria . The proposals
were then placed in descending ranked order based on the average scores of all participating Commissioners
(Attachment 4 ) . Statistical breaks were identified within the ranked order and the Commission proceeded to
deliberate funding recommendations following a rules-based protocol that they had predetermined .
For the 2019 grant process , several improvements were operationalized to maximize efficiencies and develop
equitable funding determinations . In the summer of 2018 , a subcommittee from the CDBG Commission was
convened and over 5 work sessions they identified improvements that address the plans , process and people
involved with the grant program . Particular attention was given to strengthening the connection of the grant
process to the City's plans , priorities , community needs and data . Objectivity and systemization were also
incorporated with the addition of a criteria-based scorecard and a deliberative funding decision methodology.
Opportunities for the Commission members to personally increase their awareness and expertise around
social issues were also provided .
The CDBG Commission members are subject to certain rules of ethical conduct established by the City
Charter and Code , including refraining from voting on or attempting to influence any decision in which he or
she has a financial or personal conflict of interest. At the Commission ' s regular meeting on April 3 , 2019 , a
presentation from the Senior Assistant City Attorney was made to all the CDBG Commission members
detailing the City Charter and Code provisions regarding conflict of interest and the disclosure process .
The following tables present the allocations recommended by the Commission to City Council within each
major category:

At the March 27 , 2019 combined meeting the CDBG Commission and the Affordable Housing Board discussed
the merits of the housing proposals , without any funding discussion . Housing applicants also had the
opportunity to make presentations at that meeting and respond to questions . The CDBG Commission met on
April 12 , 2019 , to discuss the merits of the human services proposals and identify follow-up questions for the
applicants , without any funding discussion . The CDBG Commission held a meeting on April 24 , 2019 , to
deliberate all proposals and make funding recommendations . All meetings were open to the public and added
to the City calendar.
The City of Fort Collins Citizen Participation Plan for HUD funds requires a 30 -day public comment period on

in August. The public notice of funding recommendations was placed on the Social Sustainability Department's
website . It was also distributed to applicants and 11 entities serving a majority of clients in legally protected
classes-including those in a racial/ethnic minority, those with a disability, or female heads of households -or

reasons:

# 1 HO-3 Volunteers of America- Senior Residences at Spring Creek U
• We are excited to see a developer returning after a long hiatus to develop affordable housing in Fort c,;
Collins TOM
• Despite the location concerns raised at the meeting, we feel the location is good and that many of 00
the concerns will be addressed through CHFA (from an environmental standpoint) and the planning a
and zoning process c
• CHFA is partnering with some great service components that will really enhance the quality of living c
for residents Q
• 55 new affordable rental units help to meet our strategic goal of increasing affordable units
.y
# 2 HO-2 Villages, Ltd-Myrtle Street SRO Rehab c
• This project serves a population that is challenging to house =
• Despite not submitting a capital needs assessment, this rehabilitation appears to exceed what an
earlier assessment indicated. The improvements are comprehensive and should cover the next 20
years. We are impressed with the thoughtful design and that they included input from residents m0
• The preservation of 15 units helps to meet our strategic goal of preserving existing affordable a,
housing inventory =.N
_
#3 HO-i Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity-Poudre Build =
• This one is not last because we felt it any less important than the others, merely that it is the only Z
one that qualifies for CHDO funds. We feel it should be fully funded.
• Habitat is always a good partner and the school collaboration aspect of this project is truly w
wonderful Q
• This is the only homeownership affordable developer at this time

Agenda Item 20
Background
As electric scooters spread rapidly across the country, the City of Fort Collins must be thoughtful in regulating
these new shared mobility services . Currently these types of vehicles exist in an emerging and evolving
regulatory landscape . Experiences from other cities show there is a need to implement policies and practices
to regulate electric scooters to prevent unapproved and unregulated launches .
A Request for Proposal was issued on April 29 , 2019 . Interviews with prospective companies are expected to
take place the weeks of June 10 and/or June 17 , 2019 . The award of contract is expected to take place in late
July with the launch of the 12-month pilot period for the electric scooter share program to follow shortly after.
The proposed Code changes are part of a set of strategies to regulate electric scooters and other shared
and/or portable mobility devices , including :
• Parking regulations (adopted by Council on March 19 , 2019)
• Downtown Dismount Zone regulation (adopted by Council on March 19 , 2019 ) **

16 . First Reading of Ordinance No, 074, 2019 , Making Appropriations and Authorizing Transfers of �,
Appropriations for the Lemay and Vine Intersection Improvements Project and Related Art in
Public Places . (Adopted on First Reading )
The purpose of this item is to appropriate $9. 1 M of Transportation Capital Expansion Fee (TCEF) and
Transportation Reserve Funds into the Capital Project Fund for the Lemay and Vine Intersection
Improvements Project. In addition, this item will authorize the transfer of $91 , 000, one percent of the
appropriated funds, from the Capital Project Fund to the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund for Art Q
in Public Places.
The overall project cost, including design, property acquisition, and construction, is estimated at
$23. 3M. The City has previously appropriated $3. 7M, and this appropriation would add $9. 1 M to the
project. The remaining funding needed for the project is $ 10. 5M in 2019 dollars.
Chad Crager, City Engineer, stated this item is a request for appropriation for the next phase of the
Vine/Lemay realignment project, which is the number one transportation capital improvement
project for the City. This appropriation will allow the project to be completed more quickly and
at an overall lower cost.
Tim Kemp, Engineering Capital Projects Program Manager, stated this is an appropriation of $9 . 1
million of transportation capital expansion fee reserves which have previously been collected
through development impact fees and must be spent on transportation improvements that add
capacity to the network. Kemp showed photos of the area and discussed the issues with train

blockages and associated traffic delays . He noted these delays have a negative impact on mobility,
air quality, and historic character of the area communities .
Kemp detailed the proposed project and phasing plan, noting this appropriation will allow the
project to be completed one year sooner and completing another portion of the work at today's
dollars would be a benefit. The Council Finance Committee considered this item and supported it
being brought before the full Council for consideration.
Mayor Pro Tern Stephens asked how the design is being sensitive to the historic neighborhoods,
particularly the bridge aspect. Kemp replied early public outreach efforts have shown residents
would like a softer heavily planted side slope and stated ongoing conversations will be occurring
with residents .
Mayor Pro Tern Stephens requested staff provide simulations from neighboring properties for
those owners .
Councilmember Pignataro commended the idea of the project getting done earlier at a lower cost.
LO
N
Councilmember Cunniff asked about the estimate of cost savings . Crager replied it is about three
to five percent, depending on the year the final funding becomes available. L?
N
Councilmember Cunniff suggested acoustic modeling of the train horns with this structure in place.
5
Mayor Troxell asked if the grade separation would eliminate the need for the train horn altogether.
Kemp replied that while the grade separation would be new, the existing Vine/Lemay intersection o
would be open necessitating a train horn at that crossing. He stated there is a possibility of 00
implementing a quiet zone in the area. a)
N
Mayor Troxell asked what is envisioned at the Suniga intersections . Kemp replied the intersection
at realigned Lemay and Suniga would be the new major intersection replacing the existing Vine
and Lemay and Suniga will intersect with old Lemay as part of a potential new development
project.
E
Councilmember Cunniff asked about restricting truck traffic on the old Lemay. City Manager
CU
Atteberry replied it will be a local street and any necessary measures will be taken to ensure that Q
occurs . Joe Olson, City Traffic Engineer, replied local streets discourage truck traffic and it will
be designed as such.
Councilmember Gorgol asked about the main concerns heard from neighbors . Kemp replied most
individuals are just curious about the completion of the project and design of 91h Street.
Mayor Pro Tem Stephens made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Pignataro, to adopt
Ordinance No . 074, 2019, on First Reading.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he would support this as it is a good use of the capital expansion
fee.

about providing simulated perspectives for neighboring properties.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION N
The City has been pursuing a reduction in train horn noise through the downtown core for many years , most N
notably in the form of a quiet zone , which would allow train operators to refrain from blasting horns at every
crossing . These efforts have been met with resistance , challenges , and roadblocks from the Federal Railroad
Administration ( FRA) , who has to date proven unwilling to work collaboratively, or evaluate federal law beyond
a very strict and narrow interpretation . The City has been denied a waiver to the requirement for gates along the E
Mason corridor despite evidence of meeting safety criteria and has been unable to get firm next steps from FRA E
on what might be alternative solutions that they would consider. y
E
City Council and staff have worked with the federal government through multiple angles , including seeking r'
support of appointed officials from both the Obama and Trump administrations . These efforts have resulted in
additional conversations with the FRA but have not produced meaningful results . Recent visits to Washington ,
D . C . included conversations with our Congressional delegation and members of the Trump administration Q
indicating that a legislative approach could be the most expedient way to see relief.
With multiple opportunities to include language in upcoming federal legislation , such as the reauthorization of
the surface transportation act ( FAST) , the Fiscal Year 2020 federal budget process , or a potential infrastructure
deal , staff believes it is an appropriate time to engage outside help to achieve legislative results . A federal LA
could assist in trying to make progress on multiple fronts , including :
LL
• An appropriations provision prohibiting federal funds to enforce FRA requirements related to our efforts ;
• An exemption from the regulations for receiving a Quiet Zone from FRA; and E
• A permanent exemption via legislation that effectively establishes a Quiet Zone via Congress .
Staff has identified Squire Patton Boggs ( SPB ) as a preferred provider for lobbying services to address these Q
opportunities . The City will enter into the lobbying contract pursuant to Section 8- 161 (d )( 1 ) of the City Code ,
because there exists more than one responsible source , a competitive process cannot reasonably be used or, if
Item # 3 Page 1
Packet Pg . 37

Agenda Item 3
used , will result in a substantially higher cost to the City, will otherwise injure the City' s financial interests or will
substantially impede the City's administrative functions or the delivery of services to the public. The City works
with the firm on other projects - currently and most notably Halligan Reservoir efforts - and SPB has a national
team (including expertise in railroad issues) that we believe can help secure necessary sponsors and supporters
for relevant legislation . SPB has proposed a one-year retainer with the City at the cost of $7 , 000 monthly , or
$84 , 000 for a twelve-month engagement, however, the City will only be entering into the contract for seven `YL°
months at a cost of $49 , 000 , with an option to extend the contract if Council subsequently approves an additional =
0
$35 , 000 for another five months of engagement. Staff will bring this proposed additional funding in the 2020 U
budget revision process . SPB and staff believe this is enough time to make substantial progress on the legislative 0
rM
and regulatory fronts .
Staff plans to begin work with SPB immediately upon securing an appropriation , so as to not miss timely
opportunities in the Congressional calendar.
m
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS m
UM
a)
Staff has identified the General Fund reserves as a source for the needed $49 , 000 because the debt service N
payments related to the financing of the 1 -25/Project and Regional Police Training Facility projects was $350 , 000 z
less than originally budgeted for. The $49 , 000 to cover costs under this contract for 2019 will be deducted from =
this $350 , 000 savings and the remainder of the contract costs will be captured in the 2020 budget revision
process . c0

ORDINANCE NO, 066, 2019
OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR A FEDERAL LOBBYING
CONTRACT RELATED TO REGULATION OF TRAIN HORN NOISE
WHEREAS , the City has been trying to achieve a reduction in train horn noise through the
downtown core for many years, most notably in the form of attempting to establish a quiet zone
along the Mason corridor, which would prohibit train operators traveling along the Mason corridor L
from using train horns within the established quiet zone, except in rare circumstances ; and c
U
WHEREAS , despite various attempts, the City has not been successful in establishing a c
quiet zone along the Mason corridor due to the way the Federal Railroad Administration (the
"FRA") interprets relevant regulations ; and 0
WHEREAS , the City has not been able to obtain further direction from the FRA on what
might be a workable solution to establish a quiet zone along the Mason corridor; and
a�
N
WHEREAS , after further discussion with representatives of Congress and members of the z
Trump administration, it appears the best solution to establish a quiet zone along the Mason c
corridor would be to pursue various legislative solutions through Congress that may allow the City
to establish a quiet zone or to otherwise reduce train horn noise through the downtown core ; and
0
WHEREAS , staff has evaluated prospective providers of lobbying services and has co
identified Squire Patton Boggs (SPB) as the preferred provider to help secure necessary sponsors M
and support for a legislative solution to the train horn noise issue; and
00
,.
WHEREAS , this Ordinance appropriates $49,000 for 2019 lobbying services from SPB for N
seven months, with an option to extend the contract for an additional five months if Council
subsequently appropriates an additional $35 ,000 in the 2020 budget revision process, or otherwise ; o
and 6
z
as
WHEREAS , staff plans to begin work with SPB immediately upon securing an
appropriation, so as to not miss timely opportunities in the Congressional calendar; and
O
WHEREAS, this appropriation serves the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens
of Fort Collins and serves the public purpose of reducing noise pollution within the City' s
downtown core; and
WHEREAS , Article V, Section 9 of the City Charter permits the City Council to Q
appropriate by ordinance at any time during the fiscal year such funds for expenditure as may be
available from reserves accumulated in prior years, notwithstanding that such reserves were not
previously appropriated; and
WHEREAS , the City Manager has recommended the appropriation described herein and

COLLINS as follows :
Section 1 . That the City Council hereby makes and adopts the determinations and
findings contained in the recitals set forth above.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
m
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION a
0
Chapter 23 ( Public Property) , Article IX ( Natural Areas ) , Section 23- 194(b ) of the City Code authorizes the 3
Natural Areas Director to administer a permit system for uses or activities that are otherwise prohibited under r'
Article IX . The current Code provides further direction that: N
N
The Director shall approve, conditionally approve or deny an application on the grounds set forth in this >,
Subsection, and the Director's action and the basis therefore shall be stated in a written notice to the
applicant, no later than five (5) business days after receipt of a fully completed application" .
�a
Due to the increasing number and variety of special use and commercial permit requests , the Natural Areas E
E
Department recommends extending the application/administrative permit review period from a five business day
period to a fifteen business day review period . Cn
E
m
Staff reviews applications to ensure the safety of visitors , prevent visitor conflicts , and protect wildlife , wildlife
habitat, and rare plants . In recent years the department has experienced an increasing number and variety of
permit requests with a concentration of requests coming in the spring and summer months . Activities such as
professional filming , drone flights , and numerous research requests characterize the range of special use permit Q
applications . Research requests can be particularly complex to review and typically require input from multiple
staff. To a lesser extent, processing the Department's Commercial Use Permit can require interdepartmental
coordination making additional administrative time necessary .
Description of Special Use Permits ;n
ii
Special Use Permit applications are traditionally used to permit otherwise prohibited uses , allow access to closed
sections of a natural area , or to permit group activities greater than 15 individuals . The most common permits E

are issued to conduct ecological research , educational programs , or to permit recreational or other activities that =
are otherwise generally prohibited in the Code . N
_
m
Description of Commercial Use Permits w
Requests to conduct (third party) commercial activity on a natural area is prohibited per Section 23- 193(d )( 14 )
of the City Code . Commercial use permit requests are deserving of attention as they are distinguished (from
other prohibited uses ) by the exchange of funds or services . Thus , commercial use requests are by reference
also subject to the Natural Area permit process outlined in section 23- 194( b) .

BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On April 16 , 2019 , the Land Conservation & Stewardship Board voted unanimously (9-0 ) to recommend adoption Z
of the Code amendment. c
PUBLIC OUTREACH N
rn
Public outreach was not conducted as the recommended Code change is largely administrative in nature .
00
However, staff consulted with peer open space and park agencies to gauge comparable polices and
administrative review periods for special use and commercial use permits .
_
m
Staff found that : E
1 . City of Fort Collins Parks Department requires a 10-day review period for special use permits that include a
variety of small and large events hosted within the Park ( primarily sports related ) and at Park facilities
(shelters , sports fields , etc. ) .
3
2 . Larimer County Parks and Open Lands requires a 60-day review period . oD
3 . Jefferson County Parks and Open Space review permit applications once a year due to their increasing c
number of requests . N
4 . City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks requires a 60 to 90-day review period depending on the N
specific activity requested .

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Item A : Ordinance No , 069, 2019 - Stormwater Utility Service Definitions
E
E
The City operates under a Colorado Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System ( MS4) permit, which requires the
implementation of programs to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to waters of the state . The MS4 Cn
permit is issued by the State of Colorado through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment m
(CDPHE) . MS4 permittees must prohibit and enforce on illicit discharges to the storm sewer system .
ma
The MS4 permit defines illicit discharge as any discharge to an MS4 that is not composed entirely of stormwater
except those specifically authorized by a Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS ) or National Pollutant Q
Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES ) permit and those resulting from emergency firefighting activities . The
MS4 permit also lists types of illicit discharges that can be excluded from the permittee5s response and
enforcement program .
Municipal Code Section 26-498 prohibits the discharge of pollutants and contaminated water to the City's storm ;n
sewer system and local surface waters . The recommended changes to the definitions below provide consistency
with the MS4 permit definition of "illicit discharge . "

Agenda Item 6
Item B : Ordinance No . 070 , 2019 - Electric Utility Service Definitions
Average annual electricity consumption: Adding this definition clarifies the meaning of the phrase as it relates
to calculations such as those related to the sizing of behind-the-meter solar electric systems (i .e . , "net metered " ayi
systems ) . This definition is related to the size estimation of a customer's annual usage during the application =
step for a net-metered solar project. The size of such customer system is affected by the 120 % rule which is
found at Colorado Revised Statutes § 40-2- 124 . The principle behind the rule is to allow the customer' s financial
compensation through credits for the energy generated on site to be sufficient to offset the typical annual c
electricity cost for the specific customer, while limiting the amount of that energy generation so other customers c)
can also self-generate , without requiring electric utility system reconfiguration . This statutory definition and
standard are included in Chapter 26 of the Fort Collins Code .
M
As Fort Collins Utilities evaluates future rate structure changes for solar energy export, the need for the 120% o
sizing rule will also be evaluated ; however, adding the "average annual electric consumption" now provides c
clarity for ongoing solar program implementation in the meantime .
co
0
Note also that Utilities' solar program administration has used 24 months of usage data when available . When y
this amount of data is not available , alternative estimation methods can be used . 11
CO)
• Definition : Average annual electricity consumption shall mean the average monthly consumption of the 00
previous 24 months of electricity use times twelve . y
Qualifying renewable technology: Staff recommends revising the definition of Qualifying renewable
technology to include technologies that store energy . This revision will allow other provisions of the City Code ,
such as net metering , to apply to storage technologies . Utilities anticipates that storage technologies will c�c
become increasingly prevalent for net metered applications in the coming years . Current City Code definitions
do not mention storage . Adding the following definition will provide clarity regarding the application of City c
Code to storage technologies . TOM

o�
• Definition : Qualifying renewable technology shall mean a qualifying facility that generates electricity N
using renewable resources such as solar, fuel cell , wind , geothermal , combined heat and power or
biomass technology , or that stores energy. (additions in italics)
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
�a
Allowing discharges from dye testing activities will eliminate the need to collect and treat the water contaminated E
with dye as a waste product, saving the City money in staffing , equipment, and disposal costs . There are no E
other expected financial impacts to the City as a result of the recommended code changes . Cn
E
The proposed electrical Code changes will have no direct financial impact to the City . '

OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AMENDING SECTION 26-491 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS TO ADD AND REVISE DEFINITIONS RELATED
TO THE CITY' S STORMWATER SYSTEM
WHEREAS, the City owns and operates a municipal separate storm sewer system ("MS4")
that is used, among other purposes, to convey stormwater to the Cache la Poudre River and its
tributaries ; and
N
N
WHEREAS, said conveyance of stormwater by the City' s MS4 may constitute a discharge c
of pollutants to state waters and the waters of the United States under two statutes : the Colorado
Water Quality Control Act, C .R. S . § § 25 -8- 101 et seq. and the federal Clean Water Act, 33 U. S . C .
§ 1251 et seq. ; and
U
N
WHEREAS , under said statutes, the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment has issued CDPS General Permit COR090000 Stormwater Discharges Associated
with Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) Authorization to Discharge Under the ti
Colorado Permit System ("MS4 Permit") ; and
co
0
WHEREAS, there are certain inconsistencies between the MS4 Permit and Article VII of N
Chapter 26 of the City Code, which concerns the City' s Stormwater Utility and MS4, namely with
respect to certain definitions in City Code Section 26-491 ; and CD
WHEREAS, while the MS4 Permit generally requires the City to effectively prohibit illicit c
discharges of pollutants into the City' s MS4 (as those terms are used and defined in the MS4 N
Permit) , under Part I(E)(2)(a)(v) of the MS4 Permit, the MS4 Permit does not require the City to c
effectively prohibit discharges from certain activities, including: non-residential lawn watering c
and dye testing in accordance with manufacturers recommendations (together, "Subject Z
Activities") ; and =
WHEREAS , under the current definition of "contaminated water" and "pollutant" in City
Code Section 26-4919 City Code Section 26-498 prohibits discharges of water to the City' s MS4 };
from the Subject Activities; and
arm
WHEREAS , changing the definition of "contaminated water" and "pollutant" in City Code
Section 26-491 to state that these terms do not include water generated from the Subject Activities Q
will be beneficial to the City by, among other things, better aligning City Code with the MS4
Permit, providing greater clarity regarding the City' s regulation of the Subject Activities, and
prioritizing MS4 and stormwater-related education and enforcement activities on more significant
sources of pollutants .

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Lemay Avenue realignment and intersection improvements have been prioritized as the City's highest
priority Transportation Capital Improvement Project. The Lemay Avenue realignment and grade separation has E
been on the City's Master Street Plan for nearly 30 years and is a critical infrastructure improvement needed to
address existing transportation deficiencies , growth related impacts of new development , and neighborhood Cn
livability . The existing intersection operations continue to degrade which has led to increased safety, congestion , Y
and access problems for local neighborhoods , railways , emergency services , and the traveling public. Unlike
most railroad crossings within Fort Collins , the existing Lemay Avenue and Vine Drive intersection is greatly
_
impacted due to the proximity of the BNSF and Great Western Railroad switching yard along Vine Drive . 0
a�
Additionally, the existing intersection is severely congested with limited options to expand through lanes or turn Q
capacity due to the proximity to houses and driveways .
The Lemay and Vine Intersection Improvements Project will construct a new roadway ( realigned Lemay Avenue )
from Lincoln Avenue to Conifer Street, and a new intersection slightly northeast of the existing Lemay Avenue
and Vine Drive intersection . The project will also contain a roadway bridge over the Burlington Northern Santa ;n
Fe ( BNSF ) Railway and Vine Drive .
The construction of this project will alleviate existing deficiencies and provide a key infrastructure asset for growth
related impacts of new development in northeast Fort Collins . More specifically, this project will :

Agenda Item 16
• Improve quality of life , equity , and neighborhood livability for Andersonville , Buckingham , and Alta Vista by
removing arterial traffic volumes off Ninth Street
• Reduce accidents and congestion , and improve emergency services coverage by separating travel modes (D
from BNSF Railway switching operations o
• Improve air quality by reducing the emissions from idling vehicles , whereby aligning with the goals of the a
Climate Action Plan o
• Provide multi- modal connectivity to the new Sugar Beet Park at the southwest corner of Vine and Lemay
N
L
The overall project cost, including design , property acquisition , and construction is estimated at $23 . 3M . The
project is being designed and constructed in phases , enabling the project to move forward as project funding =
becomes available . Phase One advanced the project's engineering design to 50% , placed fill dirt for the future
bridge , installed a box culvert to convey stormwater, and completed a majority of the property acquisitions
necessary to construct the improvements . This total cost to complete this work was $3 . 7M .
E
As this project will be adding growth-related vehicular and multimodal capacity to the transportation network , the �
project is eligible to be partially funded using Transportation Capital Expansion Fee (TCEF ) funds . This project
will be replacing an existing two-lane roadway with a new four-lane roadway ; resulting in a net gain of two travel o
lanes . These new travel lanes will address growth -related impacts by providing additional capacity and are u
eligible to be funded by TCEF funds . Reconstruction of the existing two travel lanes is considered correction of
an existing deficiency and must be funded by other sources . To ensure funding proportionality, staff developed
0
a funding contribution model to assign funding responsibilities for TCEF , developer obligations , and other City o
funding sources . Staff calculated the total TCEF contribution available for the project as $ 10 . 7M of which $ 1 . 8M N
(2019 Dollars ) will be reimbursed by future proximate development.
a�
E
Approximately $ 1 . 6M of TCEF funds have been previously appropriated to the project as part of Phase One .
Appropriating an additional $9 . 1 M in TCEF funds for Phase two enables the following :
Right-of-way purchases for realigned Lemay Avenue , south of Vine Drive ; and the Buckingham Street
• extension from Ninth Street to realigned Lemay 3
• Complete the final design and begin construction c
• Complete dirt placement and install utilities along realigned Lemay Avenue
• Obtain Public Utilities Commission ( PUC ) approval for the roadway bridge and complete a Construction and N
Maintenance Agreement with BNSF
Staff anticipates the efficiencies gained through initiating the above items in 2019 will reduce the overall project
duration by one year. Reducing the project's overall time frame will also result in cost savings for the project.
E
Per City Code Section 24-304 , all appropriations for construction projects estimated to cost over $250 , 000 shall
include an amount equal to one percent of the estimated cost for works of art. The total Art in Public Places E
funds to be appropriated is $91 , 000 . This item will transfer $70 , 980 of the TCEF appropriations to the Art in a)
Public Places Program . Staff has identified the Transportation Reserves as a means to provide the additional
$20 , 020 needed to provide long-term maintenance for the art. 00

SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No . 075 , 2019 , Making Appropriations and Authorizing Transfers of Appropriations
for the Drake Water Reclamation Facility Sidestream Treatment Project and Related Art in Public Places .
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to request an appropriation for additional funding for the Drake Water Reclamation
Facility ( DWRF) Sidestream Treatment Project. This request is necessary to complete the permit- required
project within the required timeframe to meet DWRF 's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
( NPDES ) phosphorus compliance schedule deadline of December 31 , 2020 . Successful operation of this
infrastructure will also earn regulatory credits to delay future capital project expenses by upwards of 10 years .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The purpose of this agenda item is to request an appropriation of $ 1 . 1 million for additional funding for the
Drake Water Reclamation Facility ( DWRF ) Sidestream Treatment Project. The current project budget is $4 . 3
million . The additional $ 1 . 1 million appropriation will increase the project budget to $ 5 .4 million . The cost
estimate at 60% project design , completed in January 2019 , for the Sidestream Treatment project is greater
than the approved budget.
Key Project Drivers
The Sidestream Treatment Project is necessary for DWRF to meet future nutrient water quality regulations by
the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE ) . The DWRF NPDES permit includes a
phosphorus compliance schedule to ensure the City is successful in meeting the required phosphorus limits by
January 1 , 2021 . The Sidestream Treatment Project is a necessary addition required for DWRF to meet these
proposed phosphorus standards .
Nutrient removal projects have been identified as part of the Utility's Capital Improvement Planning ( CIP) and
Master Planning efforts for the last ten years . The current CIP-identified Nutrient Removal Projects required to
meet future nutrient limits by the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) and CDPHE and have future
potential costs of approximately $70 million by 2028 . The Wastewater Utility has been actively planning to
minimize this cost as much as possible through participation in the CDPHE Nutrient Incentive Program and the
American Water Works Association Clean Water Partnership . Participation in these programs could provide
the City both schedule and financial relief of up to 10 years .
Item # 10 Page 1

Agenda Item 10
Rationale for Appropriation Request
A conceptual class 5 cost estimate of $4 . 3 million was developed for the 2017-2018 BFO cycle based upon
capacity, modeling , analogous projects and the available sidestream treatment technologies . As stated in the
BFO offer, the design was based on a conceptual design and a complete design could result in an increase or
decrease of the cost to meet the design deliverables . As design progressed , additional detail , including
equipment selection , and other specifications resulted in increased project costs . A contingency in the
additional budget request has been included , appropriate for the current level of design . The following three
major factors impacted the budget requiring this appropriation request:
1 . A new sludge feed pump station was required in addition to other improvements increasing construction
costs approximately $625 , 000 . It had been anticipated , but not feasible , that the existing sludge pumps
could be used . Thus , staff has now determined that their use is not feasible .
2 . Completion of the 60% design cost estimate (class 2 ) revealed an error in the original BFO class 5
estimate allowing the original BFO request to be approximately $325 , 000 under-funded . In the future , BFO
offer estimates , including backup documentation , will be provided to management staff for review.
3 . The retirement of the Utilities' lead programming engineer impacted the ability to self- perform all the
process programming , integration , and operator interface requirements of the plants . Additional support
from the equipment manufacturers and consulting engineers is required for process programming and
integration costing approximately $ 150 , 000 .
For the 2019-2020 BFO budget cycle , staff initiated a process where larger projects will start with a "design
only" phase so that better construction estimates can be obtained prior to appropriation . This practice will
address the budgeting issues that occurred for this project.
The current DWRF NPDES permit requires the City to comply with nutrient regulations by January 1 , 2021 .
The permit's compliance schedule also indicates the construction must begin by December 31 , 2019 . It is
critical to begin construction as soon as possible in 2019 in order to give facility staff adequate time to optimize
the system to comply with required nutrient limits by the January 1 , 2021 deadline .
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
In March 2013 , CDPHE promulgated Regulation #85 , requiring Publicly Owned Treatment Works ( POTWs)
with greater than 2 million gallons per day capacity to meet more stringent effluent water quality standards .
The regulation mandates that existing POTWs limit their effluent discharge on a monthly median value of Total
Phosphorus to 1 . 0 mg/L and Total Inorganic Nitrogen (TIN ) of 15 mg/L . DWRF currently meets the TIN limit ,
but the improvements installed with the Sidestream Treatment Project are necessary to help meet the Total
Phosphorus limit .
While phosphorus and nitrogen are building blocks of organic life , high concentrations in lakes , reservoirs , and
receiving waters can lead to lower dissolved oxygen levels , poison aquatic life , and eutrophication . POTWs are
only one of three major sources of nutrient contamination of receiving waters (urban and agricultural non -point
source run-off being the other two) but are the easiest to regulate being a point source contributor.
ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS
As project design evolved and the need for additional funding became apparent, the project team evaluated
the following project alternatives :
1 . Value engineering . The project team , including City staff, the general contractor, and the design engineer
evaluated construction and design variables that could be eliminated and/or reduced and still deliver an
effective project. While numerous items were removed or revised , this evaluation was not successful in
bringing the overall project costs down to within the available budget.
2 . Not complete the project . This alternative would jeopardize not only immediate regulatory compliance
performance but future nutrient compliance issues as well .
Item # 10 Page 2
Packet Pg . 103
10
Agenda Item 10
3 . Request $ 1 . 1M as an off-cycle appropriation request . This is the preferred and recommended alternative
by City staff. This alternative is also recommended by the City' s Water Board .
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This Ordinance appropriates $ 1 , 111 , 000 of Wastewater Fund Reserves for the DWRF Sidestream Treatment
Project (which includes $ 11 , 000 for Art in Public Places ) . Adequate funds exist in the Wastewater Fund
reserves to cover this request for additional appropriations . In the latest 10 -year Wastewater Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) , $80-$ 100 million of capital improvements were identified and this is a relatively
small increase . A rate increase beyond what is already planned will not be required as a result of this request .
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its April 18 , 2019 , meeting , the Water Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
appropriation . (Attachment 2 )
At its May 20 , 2019 , meeting , the Council Finance Committee supported the additional appropriation .

Presentation Summary a
• Special Projects Manager , Link Mueller explained the need for an E
additional appropriation of $ 1 . 1 million dollars for the DWRF Sidestream
Cn
Project . The Sidestream Treatment Project will remove soluble
ma
phosphorus with an Airprex System that chemically precipitates Fn
phosphorus out of the liquid stream . DWRF doesn ' t currently meetum
Regulation 85 phosphorus limit ( < 1 mg/L ) . The Airprex System will o
remove 90 % of soluble phosphorus from the sludge . The sludge centrate
loading accounts for 25 % of total plant phosphorus load . By treating the
sludge , prior to dewatering , it removes the phosphorus and some of the
ammonia while also improving the dewatering capabilities . The newly
proposed construction start date is July 19 , 2019 . The System must be
on - line and operational by December 31 , 2020 . The reason for an off-
cycle appropriation is because with a mid -cycle appropriation , DWRF N
could obtain funding but it couldn ' t be spent until January 1 , 2020 . 0

KEY PROJECT DRIVERS o
L
The Sidestream Treatment project is necessary for DWRF to meet future nutrient water quality regulations by a
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ( CDPHE ) . The DWRF National Pollutant Discharge Q
Elimination System ( NPDES ) permit includes a phosphorus Compliance Schedule to ensure the City is successful in c
meeting the required phosphorus limits by January 01, 2021 . The Sidestream Treatment project is a necessary
addition required for DWRF to meet these proposed phosphorus standards . Q
Nutrient Removal Projects have been identified as part of the Utility' s Capital Improvement Planning ( CIP ) and U
Master Planning efforts for the last ten years . The current CIP identified Nutrient Removal projects required to 0
meet future nutrient limits by the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) and CDPHE and have future potential a
costs of approximately $70 million by 2028 . The Wastewater Utility has been actively planning to minimize this
cost as much as possible through participation in the CDPHE Nutrient Incentive Program and the AWWA Clean N
Water Partnership . Participation in these programs could provide the City both schedule and financial relief of
up to 10 years . v�
u_
W
A conceptual class 5 cost estimate of $4 . 3 million was developed for the 2017 -2018 BFO cycle based upon
capacity, modeling, analogous projects and the available Sidestream Treatment technologies . As stated in the
BFO offer, the design was based on a conceptual design and a complete design could result in an increase or
decrease of the cost to meet the design deliverables . As designed progressed, additional detail, including
equipment selection, and other specifications resulted in increased project costs . A contingency in the additional
budget request has been included, appropriate for the current level of design . The following three major factors
impacted the budget requiring this appropriation request :
TOM
N
1 . A new sludge feed pump station was required in addition to other improvements increasing construction c
costs approximately $ 625,000 . It had been anticipated, but not feasible, that the existing sludge pumps N
could be used
2 . Completion of the 60% design cost estimate ( class 2 ) revealed an error in the original BFO class 5 estimate vi
allowing the original BFO request to be approximately $ 325, 000 under-funded . In the future BFO offer
estimates, including backup documentation will be provide to management staff for review =
3 . The retirement of the Utilities' lead programming engineer impacted the ability to self- perform all the
process programming, integration, and operator interface requirements of the plants . Additional support
from the equipment manufacturers and consulting engineers is required for process programming and E
integration costing approximately $ 150, 000 0
(U
0
For the 2019-2020 BFO budget cycle, steps were taken to address the budgeting issues that occurred for this =
project . Larger projects will start with a "design only" phase so that better construction estimates can be
obtained prior to appropriation . u_
U
The current DWRF discharge permit requires the City to be in compliance with nutrient regulations by January 1, c
2021 . The permit' s compliance schedule also indicates the construction must be started by December 31, 2019 . U
It is critical to begin construction as soon as possible in 2019 in order to give facility staff adequate time to
optimize the system to comply with required nutrient limits by the January 1, 2021 deadline . E

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
In March 2013, the State of Colorado passed Regulation #85, requiring Publicly Owned Treatment Works
( POTWs ) with greater than 2 million gallons per day capacity to meet more stringent effluent water quality. The Q
regulation mandates that existing POTWs limit their effluent discharge on a monthly median value of Total o
Phosphorus to 1 . 0 mg/ L and Total Inorganic Nitrogen (TIN ) of 15 mg/L. DWRF currently meets the TIN limit but a
the improvements installed with the Side Stream project are necessary to help meet the Total Phosphorus limit . Q
_
0
While phosphorus and nitrogen are building blocks of organic life, high concentrations in lakes, reservoirs and
receiving waters can lead to lower dissolved oxygen levels, poison aquatic life, and eutrophication . POTWs are
Q
only one of three major sources of nutrient contamination of receiving waters ( urban and agricultural non - point
source run -off being the other two ) but are the easiest to regulate being a point source contributor. W

ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS E
As project design evolved and the need for additional funding became apparent, the project team evaluate the
L
following project alternatives :
1 . Value Engineering — The project team , including City staff, general contractor, and design engineer
evaluated construction and design variables that could be eliminated and / or reduced and still deliver an co
u_
effective project . While numerous items were removed or revised, this evaluation was not successful in
bringing the overall project costs down to within the available budget . p
2 . Not complete the project — This alternative would jeopardize not only immediate regulatory compliance
performance but future nutrient compliance issues as well .
3 . Request $ 1 . 1 M as a mid — cycle appropriation request — This alternative would jeopardize the City' s ability
to comply with NPDES P Standard Compliance Schedule deadlines .
4 . Request $ 1 . 1 M as an off — cycle appropriation request — This is the preferred and recommended alternative
by City Staff. This alternative is also recommended by the City' s Water Board . TOM
0
N
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS N
This O appropriate $ 1, 111,000 of Wastewater Fund Reserves for the DWRF Sidestream Treatment Project .
Adequate funds exist in the Wastewater Fund reserves to cover this request for additional appropriations . In the
vi
latest 10-year Wastewater Capital Improvement Program ( CIP ), $89M of capital improvements were identified a;
and this is a relatively small increase . A rate increase beyond what is already planned will not be needed as a c
result of this request .

SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No . 076 , 2019 , Approving , Affirming and Ratifying Funding of the Non -City Share
of the NECCO Project by Offering to Owners and Developers of Property Within the NECCO Area a
Proportionate Buy- In to Connect to the NECCO Project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to adopt the cost share concept whereby development and redevelopment draining
into the Northeast College Corridor Outfall ( NECCO ) stormwater system are required to pay their proportional
cost share of the NECCO improvements if they choose to use the NECCO system in lieu of constructing
separate stormwater facilities . The NECCO stormwater system (or NECCO Project) was designed to provide
an adequate stormwater outfall for the area north of Vine Drive and east of College Avenue in order to alleviate
existing drainage problems and to facilitate development and redevelopment in the area .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Project History
The Northeast College Corridor Outfall ( NECCO ) Project was initiated in response to large development
potential north of Vine Drive and east of College Avenue . At that time , there was no adequate stormwater
outfall for this area of the city, which created a significant hinderance to development and redevelopment.
There were also drainage problems in this area from existing development, mainly due to a lack of stormwater
regulations when this area of the City originally developed . The NECCO area map is Exhibit A to Ordinance
No . 076 , 2019 .
In response to development interest in the area , design was initiated on a stormwater system that would help
mitigate existing drainage issues in the area , as well as provide an adequate stormwater outfall . The NECCO
stormwater design was managed by the City's Stormwater Capital Improvement Program group and was
completed in 2009 . The NECCO stormwater system schematic is Attachment 1 to this AIS . Construction of
the "backbone" storm sewer system occurred in 2016-2017 and the regional pond was constructed in 2018 .
Other portions of the NECCO stormwater system have been completed by development, and were funded
partially through the Developer Repay program and partially through the NECCO buy- in paid by the
development. Another section of the system is under design and will be constructed as part of Planning ,
Development and Transportation 's Suniga Road capital project.

Agenda Item 11
Cost Share Concept
Entities proposing to develop in this area ( Developers ) can choose to connect into the NECCO stormwater
system in order to receive the benefits of the system . Developers that choose to connect pay a proportionate
share of the NECCO stormwater system cost as described below. Developers that choose not to connect to
the NECCO stormwater system are required to meet typical stormwater requirements without the benefit of
NECCO . Since the NECCO proportionate cost for a development only covers its respective share of the
NECCO stormwater system , all properties still pay the standard stormwater plant investment fees ( PIFs ) in
addition to their respective share of the NECCO stormwater system cost.
The NECCO area was originally analyzed to determine which portions of the area are developed and
undeveloped . To define proportionate cost shares , the NECCO stormwater system was broken down into
individual project components and the cost of each component was divided among the area benefitting from
that component (e . g . , only those areas receiving a benefit from the regional pond pay for the regional pond ) .
The analyses determined that the City's share of the NECCO Project would be approximately 49% and the
appropriate developer share would be approximately 51 % . The NECCO stormwater system cost allocation
spreadsheet is Exhibit B to Ordinance No . 076 , 2019 .
To date , the City has been constructing improvements and is being repaid for a pro -rata share of costs for the
developer share of the Project as development occurs through development and/or repay agreements . It is
anticipated the City will stop collecting allocated costs once the appropriate developer shares of NECCO
improvements have been received . Current costs are based on a combination of estimated and actual
construction costs . The cost estimate will be updated to reflect actual construction costs as improvements are
constructed .
Although the NECCO Project has a long history and is partially constructed , the purpose of the proposed
Ordinance is to formalize the allocation of costs between the City and benefitted development, and the
allocation of the developer share of improvement costs among benefitted properties as they develop or
redevelop .
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The intent of this Ordinance is to establish a cost sharing mechanism that allows the City to recover the portion
of costs incurred to date for this project that is associated with new development and anticipated
redevelopment. To date the City has recovered $ 1 M of the $6M developer' s share of project cost. While this
project is a very cost-effective solution to the required stormwater infrastructure for future development and
redevelopment, there is the possibility that future development may choose to build alternative stormwater
drainage . Staff considers this risk to be minimal based on the alternatives considered before constructing this
project and the participation of development to date .
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its February 21 , 2019 meeting , the Water Board unanimously recommended that City Council adopt the
Ordinance . (Attachment 2 )
At its April 15 , 2019 meeting , the NECCO Stormwater system funding approach was presented to the Council
Finance Committee (CFC ) which supported going forward with this topic for Council consideration .
(Attachment 3 )
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Significant public outreach has been completed over the course of the NECCO planning and various capital
projects since inception in 2008 to the present. Outreach has been focused on property owners in the vicinity
of the NECCO infrastructure that can be served by the improvements , the North College Citizen 's Advisory
Group , and the Urban Renewal Authority.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Stormwater Utility proactively constructed an outfall to serve both existing developed and undeveloped ii
land near Vine and Lemay . The Northeast College Corridor Outfall ( NECCO ) stormwater system (or NECCO
system ) was designed to provide an adequate outfall for the area north of Vine Drive and east of College Avenue c
in order to alleviate existing drainage problems and to facilitate development and redevelopment in the area . U
The NECCO system is intended to provide a less expensive means of satisfying storm drainage for this area
through economies of scale than individual landowners could provide separately. The purpose of this item is for >_
City Council to consider adopting the cost share concept whereby development and redevelopment draining
into the NECCO system be allowed to pay their proportional cost share of the NECCO improvements if they Q
choose to use the NECCO system in lieu of constructing separate stormwater facilities .
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
Is the Council Finance Committee supportive of staff bringing forth an Ordinance formalizing the cost sharing
opportunity associated with the NECCO system ?

The Northeast College Corridor Outfall ( NECCO) Project was initiated in response to large development potential
north of Vine Drive and east of College Avenue . In 2010 the North College Infrastructure Funding Plan

Cost Share Concept N
L
At the time of development, a Developer can choose whether to tie into the NECCO system in order to receive
the benefits of the system . If the Developer chooses to connect to NECCO, they pay a proportionate share of Q
the NECCO system cost, as described below. If a Developer chooses not to connect to the NECCO system, then Q
they are required to meet typical stormwater requirements without the benefit of NECCO . Since the NECCO
proportionate cost for a development only covers their share of the NECCO stormwater system which serves as
a gateway to the City' s stormwater infrastructure, all properties still pay the standard Stormwater plant E
investment fees ( PIFs ) in addition to their share of the NECCO cost .
E
In allocating the costs for the NECCO improvements, the impacted area was analyzed to determine which E
portion of the area was developed and which portion of the area was undeveloped . To define proportionate �j
cost shares, the NECCO system was broken down into individual project components and the cost of each
component was divided among the area benefitting from that component ( e .g . only those areas receiving a
benefit from the regional pond pay for the regional pond ) . Based on the analyses, it was determined that the ii
City' s share of the NECCO system would be approximately 49% and the appropriate developer share of the
Project would be approximately 51% .
0
U
To date, the City has been constructing improvements and is being re- paid for a pro- rata share of costs for the
"developer share" of the Project as development occurs through development and/or repay agreements . The E
City will stop collecting allocated costs once development' s appropriate share of NECCO improvements has been
satisfied . Current costs are based on a combination of estimated future and actual construction costs . The cost
for a developer to buy into the NECCO system will be updated to reflect actual construction costs as Q
improvements are constructed .
Although the NECCO project has a long history and is partially constructed, the purpose of the proposed
ordinance is to formalize the allocation of costs between the City and benefitted development, and the
2

allocation of the developer share of improvement costs among benefitted properties as they develop or
redevelop .
Proiect Costs
Attachment 1 - NECCO Cost Breakdown Analysis shows the total estimated cost of the NECCO system to be $ 13 . 9M
of which development' s share is 51 . 5% or $ 7 . 2M and the City' s share is 48 . 5% or $6 . 8M . To date, $ 7 . 6M of
improvements have been completed and $875K has been received by development buying into the NECCO 0
system . As development and redevelopment continues in this area it is expected that the full $7 . 2M of the c
developer share of these improvements will be received into the Stormwater Enterprise .

Theresa Connor; this was developed before the URA - they did contribute to some land cost for the
pond as part of this project . In context with other projects, this wraps up the cost share portion of
NECCO and formalizes with Council approval how we cost share with the private sector .
For all of the undeveloped properties - it provides at least a portion of the stormwater system —
regional pond will provide detention and water quality treatment . Before NECCO all of the properties
had to build their own stormwater outfall systems .
c
Darin Atteberry; do property owners need to notify us of an opt in now or can they do that at any
UM
time ?
m
0
Theresa Connor; they can do that at any time a
O
U
Darin Atteberry; so, this is just away for us to recapture some of our expense v
w
Is the opt in price equal to the marginal increase in additional capacity? z
m
T
Lance Smith ; the costs are allocated depending on which portions of the system improvements you are 00
benefitting from and how much of that capacity you are using .

LO
Darin Atteberry; so, we are building the whole system - regardless of opt in TOM
L
C.
Theresa Connor; if they don 't opt in , they will have to build their own outfall - so it is voluntary but Q
would be cost prohibitive -we have worked together collaborative to date - it is an attractive offer and
we think they will opt in . c
E
a�
Ken Summers; I am in support but have a few questions .
Do we want to give them an option ? Is that really in our best interest ? E
Does it even make sense to offer an option ? Based on that, we are looking at a recommendation to 0
codify existing practices . I assume those who have participated feel this is fair, cost effective and
adequate . Do we really want parallel systems ?

M
Shane Boyle ; It does drain - off of Redwood - drains due east into Lemay and is pumped into the A4 Q
lateral - working to fix the A4 lateral and that is gravity
Ross Cunniff; with the cost sharing - the public benefits regardless of benefit to developers to pay less
money . Can you go over public benefits ?

ACTION ITEM :
Theresa Connor; Majority of benefit are to existing owners - 49% and 51 % between existing rate payers
and future development
Ross Cunniff; add that to the Council presentation - front and center
Lance Smith ; we do have some exposure if the development decided to do this themselves, the rate
payers would be impacted - to date we have recovered about $ 1M of the $ 7M u`

Theresa Connor; they would have to construct their own outfall — the cost of that directs them a

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY June 4 , 2019
City Council
WITHDRAWN FROM CONSIDERATION
STAFF
Noah Beals , Senior City Planner/Zoning
Brad Yatabe , Legal
SUBJECT
Items Relating to Various Amendments to the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code .
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. First Reading of Ordinance No . 077 , 2019 , Making Various Amendments to the City of Fort Collins Land Use
Code .
B . First Reading of Ordinance No . 078 , 2019 , Amending the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code Regarding
Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director Variances to Certain Land Use Code
Standards
The purpose of this item is to adopt a variety of revisions , clarifications and additions to the Land Use Code that
are generally routine in nature that have been identified since the last update in February 2019 . The proposed
change to allow the Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director to process certain variances
is presented as a separate ordinance because the change is not necessarily routine in nature and would allow
the Director to process certain variances currently reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinances on First Reading .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Land Use Code was first adopted in March 1997 . Subsequent revisions have been recommended on a
regular basis to make changes , additions , deletions and clarifications . While most revisions are bundled and
adopted on an annual basis , other changes may occur as needed so the Land Use Code retains maximum
effectiveness . The proposed changes are offered to resolve implementation issues and to continuously improve
both the overall quality and user friendliness of the Code . Additional details regarding the changes are contained
in the attachments to this Agenda Item Summary.
The proposed change to allow the Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director to process
certain variances is presented as a separate ordinance because the change is not necessarily routine in nature
and would allow the Director to process certain variances currently reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals .
The variances the Director would review would be limited to the following :
( 1 ) Setback encroachment of up to ten ( 10) percent .
(2 ) Fence height increase of up to one ( 1 ) foot.
(3 ) In the N -C-L , N -C-M , and N -C-B zone districts , the allowable floor area in the rear half of the lot increase
of up to ten ( 10 ) percent, provided the increase does not exceed the allowable floor area for the entire
lot.
Item # 12 Page 1
Agenda Item 12
(4 ) Building height increase of up to one ( 1 ) foot.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its May 16 , 2019 , regular hearing , the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously adopted staff recommendation
that City Council approve the revisions .
Additionally, at its May 9 , 2019 , regular meeting , the Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously recommended to
City Council approval of the revision to allow the Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director
to process certain variances .
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The proposed changes were listed on "This Week in Development Review, " a weekly online notice that is posted
on the Planning Department's website and sent to approximately 435 subscribers .

Problem Statement
The problem is that the current Code explicitly details all the Stormwater features to be
inspected with their inspections being at the point of installation. Adding new features, or
points of inspection, would require a Code change. Instead, the proposed language will
simply require inspections of specific private improvements and features at certain points
of installation as called out in the Development Certification Checklist required to be
submitted to Water Utilities Engineering. Any changes could then efficiently be made on
the Development Certification Checklist as they arise.

1096 Amend 3.5.2(D) to establish 150 feet as the maximum distance
between the staging area for emergency responders and access
into individual single family attached dwelling units
Problem Statement
A relatively recent development trend is to orient single
family attached dwellings such that they do not front on
public streets, private streets, or street-like private drives.
Instead, these dwellings front on connecting walkways or
major walkway spines and face common area open space
often referred to as greenbelts, or greenways, or green courts.
This results in the back of units facing a private alley and
consisting only of the garage with no direct doors into the
individual unit. Consequently, emergency responders and
their equipment can only gain access to these dwellings and
stage their equipment from these private alleys at the rear of
the units. But in order to get into the unit, emergency c
responders must go around three sides of the building to the N
front. Such arrangements also require alleys to be named and
that addresses be posted in the back.
d
The standard requirement for building perimeter access for 0
fire fighting in the Fire Code for the Poudre Fire Authority is
150 feet as measured from the designated fire lane around the
building. While this standard is adequate for addressing the
physical building perimeter, and may be slightly increased if M
there is an automatic fire sprinkler systems, it is silent with J
regard to doors that provide access into individual units for 00
medical emergencies. 0
Proposed Solution Overview 0
The proposed solution is to add a requirement that at least 3
one door provide direct access for emergency responders into an y
individual single family attached unit and not be greater than 150 0
feet from where emergency responders and their equipment can rm
0
stage and this access cannot be through the garage. Related Code a

1098 Amend 3.8.17(A)(2)(b) - Building Height - Measuring Building Height - to correct a Q
discrepancy and delete the ability of a residential structure to use the 25-feet from floor-to
floor allowance
Problem Statement
This section allows the height of a residential structure to measured as a maximum of 25
feet from floor-to-floor. This standard contains two references : commercial and
residential. The reference to residential was inadvertently not deleted at the time a newer
standard was adopted which calls for the maximum vertical height of 12 feet, eight inches,
for each residential story, which is now the prevailing standard. The two standards are in
conflict. Also, at this time, adding a reference to industrial would provide further
Packet Pg . 440
12.2
explanation as industrial buildings are more likely to rely on greater distances between
floors than commercial buildings such as offices, hotels, retail stores and the like.
Proposed Solution Overview
The proposed solution is to delete the reference to residential in the standard that allows
commercial buildings to have a maximum height of 25 feet from floor-to-floor and add a
reference to industrial buildings. Related Code Revisions

1099 Amend 4.4(13)(3)(d) - R-L Permitted Use List - to add Wireless Telecommunications
Facility as a Type Two accessory use but restricted to non-residential properties such as
Places of Worship or Assembly, and only if stealth.
Problem Statement
o_
The creation of private sector wireless communication networks has evolved since the N
adoption of the federal Wireless Telecommunication Act of 1996 . As originally
implemented, monopoles, ranging in height from 40 to 100 feet, were deemed adequate to d
provide coverage over a specified geographic area. Now, with new technologies, and a c
higher concentration of users in urban areas, providers are building networks that use a V
combination of facilities (pole-mounted antennas) and equipment (building-mounted
antennas) that are at lower heights but more frequently dispersed. M
c
�a
Recently staff has processed two Requests for Additions of Permitted Use to allow
Wireless Telecommunications Facilities in the R-L zone. Both were located on 00
nonresidential properties, mitigated by stealth installation and both were approved. With 0
large areas of the City zoned R-L, and with the demand by consumers for coverage and
market response to provide coverage, allowing Facilities in the R-L would be appropriate
but restricted to non-residential properties. As mitigation, installations using stealth
techniques, such as church steeples, bell towers or silos would be required.

List — to delete Enclosed Mini-Storage Facilities if located at least 200 feet from N. College
Avenue portion of the C-S zone.
Problem Statement
Storage units are a land use that is contrary to the vision for urban evolution of synergistic
uses in the C-S-zoned portions of the North College Avenue corridor. The vision is
explained in the adopted North College Corridor Plan. An Urban Renewal Plan, Market
Analysis, and an Infrastructure Funding Plan are also in place to help implement the
vision.
Packet Pg . 441
12.2
The City and its Urban Renewal Authority (URA) Citizen Advisory Group (CAG)
continually seek solutions to remedy problems of past ad hoc subdivision of land when the
area was the outskirts of town along US Highway 287 . Examples of such problems are
defective and inadequate street layout and faulty lot layout in relation to accessibility,
utility infrastructure, drainage, flooding, and overall functionality as part of the city.
Retrofitting needed infrastructure and improving functionality generally depend upon
cooperation and participation across various existing land parcels. Assembly of land or
land pooling by owners of multiple parcels is needed in some cases to form more cohesive
development. These issues are described in plan documents .
The risk of a new storage unit development project creating a potentially new obstacle to
achieving the vision and goals has been recognized by staff and the URA CAG for some
time. There have been inquiries by owners where this would be the case. In discussions
with staff, inquiries have so far not become actual development proposals.
Enclosed Mini-Storage Facilities are a relatively expedient use with minimal need for 0
connectivity or public infrastructure, creating spots of low activity with no synergy with 4
surrounding parcels. Storage uses exist and are appropriate in an Industrial zone portion
of the area on the east side of North College Avenue. d
ma
0
A significant amount of public investment has been expended in the corridor to implement U
the vision and remedy problems. Local, State and Federal funds have been used to 0
construct major public improvements from Jefferson Street to State Highway 1 including
street, railroad, drainage, and other utility infrastructure with associated beautification and
pedestrian improvements. Staff s latest estimate of public investment since adoption of J
the North College Corridor Plan in 1995 is in the range of $50-60 million. This 00
investment has resulted in economic activity and real estate development projects such as
00
the North College Marketplace, Lyric Cinema, Crowne Apartments at Old Town North,
and Jax Expansion among others. d

Since the original 1995 North College Corridor Plan and its associated zoning, conditions y
w
have changed to the point where there is positive economic momentum resulting in urban 0
rm
evolution, but crucial improvements are still needed in key portions of the area where a 0
storage unit development would be incompatible. Q.

1102 Amend 5. 1 .2 - Definition of a Neighborhood Center - to match the description of a
Neighborhood Center as stated in the LMN development standards - 4.5(D)(3) - for
consistency.
Problem Statement
The definition of `Neighborhood Center' in the LMN zone does not match the standards
for the LMN zoning district in Article 4. The difference : the LMN zone district includes
mixed-use dwelling units as an option for one of two uses that must be combined in order
to qualify a development as a Neighborhood Center; while the definition in Article 5
mentions "a combination of at least two (2) nonresidential uses . . . ".
Thus the question is whether or not the inclusion of a dwelling unit above a nonresidential
use qualifies a development as a Neighborhood Center. The LMN zone district list of o
Permitted Uses includes the following (note that mixed-use dwelling units are included) : N
"Neighborhood centers consisting of at least two (2) of the following uses: mixed-use
dwelling units; retail stores; convenience retail stores; personal and business service
shops; small animal veterinary facilities; offices, financial services and clinics; community o
facilities; neighborhood support/ recreation facilities; schools; child care centers; limited V
m
indoor recreation establishments; open-air farmers markets; and places of worship or y
assembly." Likewise a Land Use Standard in the LMN zone district states:
c
�a
4 . 5 (D)(3)(c)
"Land Use Requirements. A neighborhood center shall include two (2) or more of the 00
following uses : mixed-use dwelling units; community facilities; neighborhood
00
support/recreation facilities; schools; child care centers; places of worship or assembly;
convenience retail stores; retail stores; offices, financial services and clinics . . . "
N
Contrary to those LMN standards, the definition of Neighborhood Center mentions two
nonresidential uses : C
c
"Neighborhood center shall mean a combination of at least two (2) nonresidential uses and C
an outdoor space, which together provide a focal point and a year-round meeting place for Q-
a Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood." U

1103 Amend 2.1 .2(C) - Overview of Development Review Procedures - to add references to Basic
Development Review and make other minor edits.
Problem Statement
Since the adoption of the Code, projects that are not required to be subject to a public
hearing, either Type One or Two, were referred to as Building Permit Review and then later
renamed to Basic Development Review (BDR). Such projects include uses that are
fundamentally considered compatible with the underlying zone district and are generally not
complex. All relevant standards are applied to these projects. The original Code section that
describes the overview of the development review procedures made no mention of this review

process because there was, at that time, no formal routing, commenting, project tracking and no
requirement for a public hearing. Over time, however, BDR' s have become more formalized.
Consequently, the Code would be more current and user-friendly if BDR' s were described in
the overview. Proposed Solution Overview
The solution is to add references to BDR' s in the overview section and make minor edits
for clarity.

Problem Statement
This provision of code presently requires a 20-foot separation from shade and/or 0
ornamental trees to traffic control sign and devises. Twenty feet of separation from a tree N
to a stop (or yield sign), as well as 20 feet of separation from a tree to a traffic signal has
presented challenges in maintaining adequate sight distance to the traffic signage and
signals. A greater separation of 50 feet would help ensure that line of sight to the traffic ma
0
control device is adequately maintained throughout the maturity of the tree. U

Problem Statement Q-
.`
We recently adopted a Code revision that removes the obligation to provide notice (sign
posting, newspaper published notice and written letter to A.P .O. 's) for all B .D.R. 's that p
are not Minor Subdivisions that create new lots. Since all B .D.R. ' s are appealable, there
remains a burden to let the public know that a decision has been made. With the new m
revision, we have moved from providing an abundance of notice to providing a dearth of
notice. If a B .D.R. decision is appealable, but there is no practical manner for an abutting
property owner to become informed of such decision, then the appeal process lacks Q
transparency.
Proposed Solution Overview
The proposed solution is to provide post-decision notice to abutting property owners.
(Again, for Minor Subdivisions that yield a new lot, full notification is already required.) This
notice would also include appeal information. Related Code Revisions

1109 Amend 3.2.4 - Lighting - to add that light fixtures must not exceed correlated color

Problem Statement
City Council adopted Resolution 2016-074 expressing Council's intent and General Policy
Considerations Regarding Night Sky Objectives (September 20, 2016). The Resolution
states that, "the City will incorporate dark sky policies and standards into Building Codes,
Land Use Codes, and Streetscape standards when applicable and appropriate." An
interdisciplinary staff team continues to work with a consultant to comprehensively
address lighting issues and promote dark sky policies both on a citywide basis, and out of
the city in the case of natural areas.
In the short term, however, staff has identified two quick fixes to acknowledge the advent
of LED (light emitting diodes) technology and to implement a maximum correlated color
temperature (CCT) to reduce glare. These two revisions have been identified as y
noncontroversial and are being practiced now but on a recommendation basis only. c
Codifying at this time allows for the implementation of dark sky policies in a timely 17
manner. >

1110 Amend 3.4. 1 (E)(1) - Natural Habitats and Features - 3.4. 1 (E)(1)(c) - Buffer Zone y
Performance Standards - to clarify the scope of the buffer zone and emphasize that non-
native trees & vegetation must be evaluated in the ECS for potential ecological value. C
c
Problem Statement
a
Under (E)( 1 ), the sentence that allows stated buffer zone dimensions to be adjusted based 'c
on performance standards is currently worded in a way that confuses the concept. General
buffer zone dimensions are stated in a table, but those dimensions are accompanied by a
proviso that the decision maker may reduce a dimension if listed performance standards
are achieved. Current wording, however, suggests that the decision maker must reduce a E
stated dimension if necessary to achieve the listed performance standards. It would never
be necessary to reduce a dimension to achieve the performance standards, that is simply
incorrect wording. Q
Rather, the performance standards are to allow a dimension to be reduced if the
performance standards are met.
This wording has caused awkward and confusing discussion in at least two development
projects where a dimension was reduced based on achieving the performance standards,
but it was not necessary to do so.
Under (E)( 1 )(c), the current language states that only existing trees and vegetation that are
deemed significant per 3 .2 . 1 - Tree Protection Standards for Landscape Plans - are to be
preserved. Staff has found, however, that existing non-significant trees and vegetation
have habitat value and must be considered for preservation and accounted for in any
evaluation by an Ecological Characterization Study.
Packet Pg . 44 ]
12.2
Proposed Solution Overview
The proposed solution to (E)( 1 ) is to reword the language for clarity. The proposed
solution to (E)(1 )(c) is to revise and add language that states all non-native trees and
vegetation must be considered for preservation even though some species may not be
considered significant under the Tree Protection standards for Landscape Plans in
3 .2 . 1 (F). This would allow clusters of non-native species such as Siberian Elms
and Russian Olive to be considered for habitat and ecological values. Related Code

Problem Statement
The current Code section is in need of updating and enhanced specificity. City
Environmental Planning staff have encountered numerous development projects where V
trees proposed for removal do not meet tree mitigation criteria in 3 .2 . 1 under Landscaping y
yet provide habitat value, as determined by Environmental staff during site visits and/or
biologists in ecological characterization studies. While tree mitigation in 3 .2. 1 accounts =
for lost ecological and environmental value, habitat value is secondary to tree condition, J
caliper and species, thereby disqualifying trees with habitat value from mitigation. There
00
is a need to allow environmental planners to mitigate for lost habitat value to better reflect c
the intent of section 3 .4. 1 of the Code, which strives to protect natural habitats and O0
features on the site and in the vicinity of the site during development.

1117 Amend 2.2. 12 - Common Development Review Procedures - Step 120 Appeals / Alternate -

Problem Statement
When the LUC was established, there was no formalized Basic Development Review
procedure. These projects were considered minor in scope and permitted subject to
simply applying for a building permit and the review process was informally managed by
the zoning administrator as a building permit review. As time went on, however, these
projects became more complex requiring a review process more comparable to a P .D.P.
versus a building permit. The term Basic Development Review was initiated along with a y
more formal review process, which now includes an appeal procedure and contained C
within a relatively new section 2 . 18 . Currently, under the Common Development Review N
Procedures — Step 12 : Appeals, there is no reference to Basic Development Review. >

Boardmember LaMastra requested the measurements from the fence to the edge of the sunroom .
Beals confirmed that is 15 feet . LaMastra stated this sounds nominal and inconsequential . The HOA N
will not make everyone redo the fence . The perception is that this meets code . This was an error c
made in the past, no fault of the owner. N
Boardmember Stockover pointed out there is a large retention pond behind this property that will
never be built upon .
a�
Boardmember LaMastra made a motion , seconded by Long , to approve ZBA190017 for the c
following reasons : the variance request is not detrimental to the public good , the additional v
HOA owned detention pond immediately behind the property provides enough separation to y
meet a rear-yard 15 ' setback making this nominal and inconsequential . Therefore, the variance M
request will not diverge from the standard but in a nominal , inconsequential way, when
considered in the context of the neighborhood , and will continue to advance the purpose of

2 . 1 .2 Overview of Development Review Procedures
(C) Which type of development application should be submitted? To proceed with a
development proposal for permitted uses, the applicant must determine what type
of development application should be selected and submitted. All development
proposals which include only permitted uses must be processed and approved
through the following development applications : first through a project
development plan (Division 2 .4), and then through a final plan (Division 2 . 5) . If
the applicant desires to develop in two (2) or more separate project development
plan submittals, an overall development plan (Division 2 . 3 ) will also be required
- 1 -
Packet Pg . 155
prior to or concurrently with the project development plan. Overall development
plans, PUD Overlays, basic development reviews , project development plans and
final plans are the four (4) five (5) types of development applications for
permitted uses . Each successive development application for a development
proposal must build upon the previously approved development application, as
needed, by providing additional details (through the development application
submittal requirements) and by meeting additional restrictions and standards
(contained in the General Development Standards of Article 3 and the District
Standards of Article 4) . Overall development plans, basic development reviews
and project development plans may be consolidated into one ( 1 ) application for
concurrent processing and review when appropriate under the provisions
of Section 2 . 2 . 3 . The purpose, applicability and interrelationship of these types of
development applications are discussed further in Section 2 . 1 . 3 .
Section 3 . That Section 2 .2 . 12 of the Land Use Code is hereby amended to read as

3 .2 . 1 - Landscaping and Tree Protection
(A) Applicability. This Section shall apply to all development (except for development on
existing lots for single-family detached dwellings) within the designated "limits of
development" ("LOD ") and natural habitatar€-a buffer zones established according to
Section 3 .4. 1 (Natural Habitats and Features) .
(B) Purpose. The intent of this Section is to require preparation of landscape and tree
protection plans that ensure significant canopy cover is created, diversified and
maintained shag so that all associated social and environmental benefits are
maximized to the extent reasonably feasible. These benefits include reduced erosion and
stormwater runoff, improved water conservation, air pollution mitigation, to reduced
glare and heat build-up, contribute to visual
quality increased aesthetics, and improved

(D) Tree Planting Standards . All developments shall establish groves and belts of trees along
all city streets, in and around parking lots, and in all landscape areas that are located
within fifty (50) feet of any building or structure in order to establish at least a partial
urban tree canopy. The groves and belts may also be combined or interspersed with other
landscape areas in remaining portions of the development to accommodate views and
functions such as active recreation and storm drainage.
( 1 ) Minimum Plantings/Description. These tree standards require at least a minimum
tree canopy but are not intended to limit additional tree plantings in any remaining
portions of the development. Groves and belts of trees shall be required as
follows :
(c) "full tree stocking" shall be required in all landscape areas within fifty
(50) feet of any building or structure as further described below.
Landscape areas shall be provided in adequate numbers, locations and

planters or other landscape areas for tree planting shall be provided within
any walkway that is twelve ( 12) feet or greater in width adjoining a
vehicle use area that is not covered with an overhead fixture or canopy
that would prevent growth and maturity.
(2) Street Trees. Planting of street trees shall occur in the adjoining street right-of-
way, except as described in subparagraph (b) below, in connection with the
development by one ( 1 ) or more of the methods described in subparagraphs (a)
through (se) below:
(b) Wherever the sidewalk is attached to the street in a manner that fails to
comply with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, canopy
shade trees shall be established in an area ranging from three four (34) to
seven (7) feet behind the sidewalk at the spacing intervals as required in
subsection (a) above . Planting shall occur on public right-of-way if it is
-4-

wide enough, otherwise trees shall be planted on adjoining private
property to comply with this subsection.
(c) Wherever the sidewalk is attached to the street and is ten ( 10) feet or more
in width, or extends from the curb to the property line, canopy shade trees
shall be established in planting cutout areas of at least sill} thirty-two
(4-632) square feet at thirty-foot to forty-foot spacing.
(d) Ornamental trees shall be planted in substitution for the canopy shade
trees required in subsection (D)(2)(a) and (b) above where overhead lines
and fixtures prevent normal growth and maturity. Ornamental trees shall
be placed at least fifteen ( 15) feet away from any streetlight.
(e) Wherever existing ash trees (Fraxinus species) are in the adjoining street
right-of-way, the applicant shall coordinate and obtain an onsite analysis
with the City Forester to determine replacement canopy shade trees either
through shadow planting or other emerald ash borer mitigation methods .
(3 ) Minimum Species Diversity. To prevent uniform insect or disease susceptibility
and eventual uniform senescence on a development site or in the adjacent area or
the district, species diversity is required, and extensive monocultures are
prohibited. The following minimum requirements shall apply to any development
plan.

(F) Tree Dr^ Preservation and Mitigation n,.plae,.m ent Existing significant trees
(six (6) inches and greater in diameter) within the LOD and within natural habitat area
buffer zones shall be preserved to the extent reasonably feasible and may help satisfy the
landscaping requirements of this Section as set forth above. Such trees shall be
considered "protected" trees within the meaning of this Section, subject to the exceptions
contained in subsection (2) below. Streets, buildings and lot layouts shall be designed to
minimize the disturbance to significant existing trees . All required landscape plans shall
accurately identify the locations, species, size and condition of all significant trees, each
labeled showing the applicant's intent to either remove, transplant or protect.
Where it is not feasible to protect and retain significant existing tree(s) or to transplant
them to another on-site location, the applicant shall replace such tree(s) according to the
following schedule
and requirements and shall . Replaeement trees shall be used to satisfy
the tree planting standards of this Section. To the extent reasonably feasible,
Rreplacement trees shall be planted either the development site or, if not reasonably
feasible, in the closest available and suitable planting site on public or private property.
The closest available and suitable planting site shall be selected within one-half ('/2) mile
(2,640 feet) of the development site, subject to the following exceptions . If suitable
planting sites for all of the replacementmitigatien trees are not available within one-half

available for- all of the mitigation tfees wiabin one ( 1 ) mile (5 ,280 feet) of the
development t site, then the City Forester shall determine the most suitable planting
location within the City' s boundaries as close to the development site as feasible. If
locations for planting replacement trees cannot be located within one-half ( %2) mile of the
development site, the applicant may, instead of planting such replacement trees, submit a
payment in lieu to the City of Fort Collins Forestry Division to be used to plant
replacement trees to plant replacement trees as close to the development site as possible .

a minimum of four (4) feet in height, secured with metal T-posts, no closer than
six (6) feet from the trunk or one-half (1/2) of the drip line, whichever is greater.
Concrete blankets, or equivalent padding material, wrapped around the tree
trunk(s) is recommended and adequate for added protection during construction.
There shall be no storage or movement of equipment, material, debris or fill
within the fenced tree protection zone. A tree protection plan must be submitted to
and approved by the City Forester prior to any development occurring on the
development site.
(7) The installation of utilities, irrigation lines or any underground fixture requiring
excavation deeper than six (6) inches shall be accomplished by boring under the
root system of protected existing trees at a minimum depth of twenty-four (24)
inches . The auger distance is established from the face of the tree (outer bark) and
is scaled from tree diameter at breast height as described in the chart below. Low
pressure hydro excavation, air spading or hand digging are additional
tools/practices that will help reduce impact to the tree(s) root system when
excavating at depths of twenty-four (24) inches or less . Refer to the Critical Root
Zone (CRZ) diagram, Figure 2, for root protection guidelines. The CRZ shall be
incorporated into and shown on development plans for all existing trees to be

Judy Schmidt, Legal
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No . 079 , 2019 , Authorizing Execution of a Deed of Dedication to the City of
Loveland for the Extension of Rockwell Avenue Across Jointly Owned City and City of Loveland Property at the
Northern Colorado Regional Airport.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to dedicate to the City of Loveland the right-of-way for extension of Rockwell
Avenue across jointly owned Airport property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In connection with development of real property adjacent to the Airport , the City of Loveland wishes to extend
Rockwell Avenue from its current terminus over and across a portion of the jointly owned Airport property,
requiring dedication of approximately 1 . 3 acres for right-of-way purposes . A map showing the location of the
parcel to be dedicated and the adjacent development property is included as Attachment 1 .
The cost of constructing approximately 700 feet of the anticipated future extension will be borne by the
developer of the adjacent property, with no financial contribution by the Airport. The full extension of Rockwell
Avenue is reflected on the Council -approved 2007 Airport Master Plan for future aviation needs . This partial
extension will benefit the Airport and is consistent with the Federal Aviation Administration 's ( FAA) regulations
and the Airport's grant assurances to the FAA. After this initial extension , the remaining portion of Rockwell
Avenue will , when completed in the future , provide access to a part of the Airport planned for future aviation
development.
This dedication by the City without compensation serves a bona fide public purpose by providing a portion of
the planned expanded access to the Airport, which will enable further development of Airport property jointly
owned by the City and satisfies the criteria in City Code Section 23- 111 for disposition of a property interest
without payment of fair market value because it will :
( 1 ) promote the health , safety or general welfare and benefits a significant segment of the citizens of Fort
Collins by enhancing the accessibility, developability and value of the Airport owned and operated
jointly by the City;
(2 ) support one ( 1 ) or more of the City Council 's goals , adopted policies , projects or plans , specifically the
2007 Airport Master Plan that depicts the eventual extension of the roadway to serve future Airport
development on jointly- owned property;
Item # 13 Page 1
Packet Pg . 184

Agenda Item 13
(3) provide financial support that is leveraged with other funding or assistance , specifically, funding of
construction costs by the developer, and maintenance and upkeep by the City of Loveland ;
(4) not result in any direct financial benefit to any private person or entity, except to the extent such
benefit is only an incidental consequence and is not substantial relative to the public purpose being
served , specifically construction cost for this portion of the extension will be solely borne by the
developer while benefiting the jointly-owned Airport property, the developer, the public, and the Cities ;
and
( 5 ) not interfere with current City projects or work programs , hinder workload schedules or divert
resources needed for primary City functions or responsibilities .
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There are no financial impacts to the City.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
At its May 16 , 2019 meeting , the Northern Colorado Regional Airport Commission adopted a resolution
recommending that the City Council approve this deed of dedication for Airport property to extend Rockwell
Avenue . (Attachment 3)

OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A DEED OF DEDICATION TO THE CITY
OF LOVELAND FOR THE EXTENSION OF ROCKWELL AVENUE
ACROSS JOINTLY OWNED CITY AND CITY OF LOVELAND PROPERTY
AT THE NORTHERN COLORADO REGIONAL AIRPORT
WHEREAS , in 1963 , the City of Fort Collins ("City") and the City of Loveland
("Loveland") (collectively, the "Cities") established a regional general aviation facility and
became the joint owners and operators of the Northern Colorado Regional Airport (the
"Airport") ; and
WHEREAS, the Cities currently operate and maintain the Airport pursuant to that certain
Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement for the Joint Operation of the Fort Collins -
Loveland Airport dated January 22 , 2015 , as amended (the "IGA"); and
WHEREAS, in connection with development of real property adjacent to the Airport, the
City of Loveland wishes to extend Rockwell Avenue from its current terminus over and across a
portion of the jointly owned Airport property and wishes to acquire the City's fee interest in a
portion of a jointly owned parcel of land consisting of 1 . 3 acres in size, more specifically
described on Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Dedication
Parcel") for right-of-way purposes; and
WHEREAS , the Dedication Property will serve as a planned extension of Rockwell
Avenue, benefitting the Airport and the City as a joint owner, allowing a secondary access point
into the Airport from the north, and reducing the Cities ' future obligations to extend the initial
700 foot portion of the road for access ; and
WHEREAS , City Code Section 23 - 111 provides that the City Council is authorized to
sell, convey or otherwise dispose of an interest in real property owned by the City, provided the
Council first finds by ordinance that such sale or disposition serves a bona fide public purpose
because it meets the five criteria set forth therein; and
WHEREAS , Council determines that conveyance of the City' s fee interest in the
Dedication Parcel to Loveland for right-of-way purposes without requiring Loveland pay
compensation to the City serves a bona fide public purpose of providing a portion of the
planned expanded access to the Airport, which will enable further development of Airport
property jointly owned by the City because the initial 700 foot extension of Rockwell Avenue
thereon will :
( 1 ) promote the health, safety or general welfare and benefits a significant segment of
the citizens of Fort Collins by enhancing the accessibility, developability and
value of the Airport owned and operated jointly by the City;
(2) support one ( 1 ) or more of the City Council's goals, adopted policies, projects or
plans, specifically the 2007 Airport Master Plan that depicts the eventual
- 1 -
Packet Pg . 189
extension of the roadway to serve future Airport development on jointly-owned
property;
(3 ) provide financial support that is leveraged with other funding or assistance,
specifically funding of construction costs by the developer and maintenance and
upkeep of the right-of-way by the City of Loveland;
(4) not result in any direct financial benefit to any private person or entity, except to
the extent such benefit is only an incidental consequence and is not substantial
relative to the public purpose being served, specifically construction cost for this
portion of the extension will be solely borne by the developer while benefiting the
jointly-owned Airport property, the developer, the public, and the Cities; and
(5) not interfere with current City projects or work programs, hinder workload
schedules or divert resources needed for primary City functions or
responsibilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS as follows :
Section 1 . That City Council hereby makes any and all determinations and findings
contained in the recitals set forth, and specifically finds that the conveyance of the Dedication
Parcel is in the best interests of the City, serves a bona fide public purpose and meets the
requirements of City Code Section 23 - 111 for the reasons set forth therein.
Section 2 . That the City Council hereby authorizes the Mayor to execute such
documents of conveyance as are necessary to convey the Dedication Parcel to the City of
Loveland upon the terms and conditions described above, and subject to such other terms and
conditions as the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, determines are in the best
interest of the City.
Introduced, considered favorably on first reading, and ordered published this 4th day of

City Council
STAFF
Michelle Provaznik , Director, Gardens on Spring Creek
Jody Hurst, Legal
SUBJECT
Resolution 2019-069 Naming the Gardens on Spring Creek Pavilion in Honor of the Everitt Family.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to approve proposed donor recognition for the Pavilion at the Gardens on Spring
Creek. The Friends of the Gardens Board of Directors and Gardens staff have raised $375 , 000 towards
completion of the Pavilion and five acres of new gardens and would like to name the pavilion in honor of Bob
and Joyce Everitt.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Gardens on Spring Creek is located at 2145 Centre Avenue in midtown Fort Collins . An element of the
Master Plan completion of five acres of new gardens includes a new pavilion . As part of the fundraising
campaign for the project, Gardens staff and the Friends of the Gardens Board of Directors raised $375 , 000
from the community towards naming the pavilion in honor of Bob and Joyce Everitt . The size of this donation
makes it eligible for City Council to consider naming a key element of the project in accordance with the wishes
of the donors .
Gardens staff met with the Friends of the Gardens Board and Everitt family to review several donor recognition
options . The preferred naming option selected was " Everitt Pavilion" . The recognition plaque is proposed to
be located on the south-facing wall of the stage . Constructed of zinc , the plaque will match all other plaques
located throughout The Gardens . The plaque will also include the names of donors who contributed to the
project. A final design for the plaque has not been determined .
City Code Section 23- 141 provides rules related to naming of City facilities as follows :
" In the event a significant financial donation has been made for the acquisition , construction or
improvement of a property or facility, the property or facility or a portion thereof may be named either
for the donor or in consideration of the wishes of the donor, which name may be that of a person
living or deceased . Donations shall be for no less than seventy-five (75) percent of the total value or
cost of the property or facility or portion thereof to be named . If such a donation is received from an
individual , family or entity, the City Council will give significant weight to a naming or recognition
request from the donor but will consider such a request in light of other policy or practical priorities
and concerns and the public interest in general . In some instances , the naming of a portion of a
property or facility or a specific feature of the property or facility for a donor may be an appropriate
alternative to naming the entire property or facility. "

SUBJECT
Resolution 2019-071 Authorizing the Assignment of the City's Private Activity Bond Allocation for 2019 to
Housing Catalyst to Finance the New Construction of Affordable Housing Units .
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to support the new construction of an affordable housing development , to be
located at 140 East Oak Street, by assigning the City's 2019 Private Activity Bond allocation .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The State of Colorado Private Activity Bond ( PAB ) allocation program is established by the Colorado Private
Activity Bond Ceiling Allocation Act, Colorado Revised Statutes Section 24-32- 1707 , et seq . , (the Allocation
Act) . PABs are tax-exempt bonds that can be issued by eligible authorities . The proceeds of the sale of the
bonds may be used for specific purposes as determined by the Internal Revenue Service . Permitted purposes
include , but are not limited to , affordable housing development and rehabilitation . Historically, PAB financing
has also been used by the City for economic and industrial development purposes .
In 2019 , the total amount available statewide is $598 , 034 . 220 . Fifty percent of the state ceiling is allocated
directly to statewide authorities and the other half is allocated directly to local governments based on
population size . The City has been notified that , pursuant to Section 24-32- 1706 of the Allocation Act, its
allocation of the state ceiling for 2019 is $8 , 773 , 643 . ( Attachment 1 ) This is merely the authority to take on
debt and is not an allocation of funding . The City will not incur debt by assigning this allocation and this will not
affect the City's credit rating . If a local government does not issue bonds or assign the bond cap to an eligible
entity for a local project or projects by September 15 annually, the City allocation automatically reverts to the
state' s pool of available bond capacity.
The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) offers a 4% Low Income Tax Credit Program which is a
financing mechanism for the development and rehabilitation of affordable housing . CHFA requires these types
of financing deals to include private activity bonds . Historically, Fort Collins has assigned its annual allocation
on a first come , first served basis . From 2009 through 2012 , the Fort Collins allocation was not used locally
and therefore reverted to the state 's pool of available bond capacity. In 2013 , 2014 , 2015 and 2017 the City
assigned its full allocation to the Fort Collins Housing Authority, now Housing Catalyst ( HC ) , for the
rehabilitation of affordable rental housing units . In 2016 , the PAB was assigned to CHFA for the benefit of two
local affordable housing projects .
As of 2018 , the City implemented an application process for requesting the City's allocation of PAB . The
guidelines are set forth in the City's General Financial Policies . Applications are due annually by March 15 . In
Item # 17 Page 1
Packet Pg . 227

Agenda Item 17
2018 , the City received two applications for the City's allocation of PAB ; one was from CHFA for DMA Plaza
and one was from HC for future affordable housing development. The City provided PAB capacity to both
projects .
This year the City only received one application for a qualifying affordable housing project . ( Attachment 2 )
This application was submitted by HC for the full $8 , 773 , 643 to begin accumulation of the PAB capacity
needed to fund a new development in partnership with the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority to be
located at 140 East Oak Street . (Attachment 3 ) . This is the site of the former Downtown Elks Club . The
property will be 66 affordable rental homes for households with incomes ranging from 0-80% area median
income .
The City's PAB committee made up of staff representatives from Social Sustainability, Economic Health and
the Finance department recommends assigning the entire 2019 allocation to HC for the new construction of
affordable housing . New construction of affordable rental units is a permissible and beneficial use of the City's
2019 allocation and support the outcomes sought by the City's Affordable Housing Strategic Plan . HC has
authority to issue bonds so the City will not be the issuer. For HC to use the City's allocation of PAB capacity,
City Council must adopt a resolution assigning the 2019 PAB allocation to HC for the qualifying project stated
in HC' s application . Additionally, the use of the City' s allocation is evidence of local support for this affordable
housing project , which helps leverage other funding sources and is required for CHFA's 4% Low Income Tax
Credit Program .
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The Private Activity Bonds will be issued by HC and will not be obligations of the City of Fort Collins . The debt
service on the bonds will be repaid from revenue generated by the housing development and does not
constitute a debt of the City. This action will not affect the City's credit rating . The construction of 66 units will
require goods and labor which will benefit the local economy.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Affordable Housing Board supports granting HC ' s request and recommends that City Council adopt a
resolution assigning the City' s 2019 PAB Allocation to HC . (Attachment 4)
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The Affordable Housing Board heard this matter at their May meeting which was open to the public. The
process to seek PAB capacity is detailed on the Social Sustainability Department's web page and the
guidelines are set forth in the City's General Financial Policies .

m
Request from Housing Catalyst for our Private Activity Bonds ( PAB ) . Every year, the state
gives us bond capacity—not actually funding but capacity . The Housing Catalyst request is
for a mixed - use project with 66 affordable units . It will be in the former Elks location Q
downtown in conjunction with Downtown Development Authority . They will require $ 12
million in PAB , which is more than this year' s capacity . Our allocation this year is almost $ 9 i
million and Housing Catalyst is asking for the entire amount to be assigned to them . a.
Housing Catalyst does have the authority to issue bonds , so they will issue their own . The o
PAB committee ( staffed by Social Sustainability Department , Economic Health Office , and N

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY June 4 , •
City Council
STAFF
Erin Shanley, Broadband Marketing Manager
Colman Keane , Broadband Director
Cyril Vidergar, Legal
SUBJECT
Items Relating to the Shared Use of Regional Broadband Transport and Access Services .
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Resolution 2019-072 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City and
the City of Loveland for the Shared Use of Regional Broadband Transport and Access Services .
B . Resolution 2019-073 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City and
the Town of Estes Park for the Shared Use of Regional Broadband Transport and Access Services .
The purpose of this item is to consider two resolutions related to intergovernmental agreements authorizing the
shared regional Broadband Transport and Access services with the City of Loveland and Town of Estes Park.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolutions .
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Regional Broadband Transport and Access
Between 2015 and 2019 , the City, Loveland and Estes Park identified the community needs and benefits
available by providing a reliable , cost-effective delivery of municipal broadband network services in and
through each municipality. Some of the benefits identified were :
• Cost sharing-to capitalize on volume discounts by which each city pays 1 /3 of the total shared system cost
• Pro-rata shares of customers-the ability to leverage volume pricing for a more robust system
Staff in Loveland and Estes Park worked with the Broadband Executive Director and Fort Collins Connexion
staff to design facilities and communication bandwidth (Transport and Access) that meets the scope , budget,
and service requirements for each municipal network . Based on updated requirements outlined by all three
municipalities , the facilities and communication bandwidth are set to include :
• Multiple transport facilities .
• Capacity estimated for launch of voice , video and data services .
• An increase or decrease in capacity (as needs change ) in order to meet customer demands .

Agenda Item 18
Resolution 2019-072-Regional Transport and Access IGA with Loveland
Staff is proposing Fort Collins and Loveland enter into an IGA for the construction , ownership , operation ,
maintenance and management of transport and access services for voice , video and internet . The intent is the
parties will develop a predictable price for transport and access services for voice , video , and internet .
Under the IGA, the cities would agree that Fort Collins must negotiate and contract for access to "Transport
and Access" and in exchange will be paid by Loveland in accordance with a cost-allocation formula provided in
the agreement.
The Transport and Access must minimally :
a . be of sufficient capacity and quality for both cities to each provide a 10-gigabit (Gig ) per second
service to their broadband customers for the two-year IGA term .
b . connect the cities' broadband networks directly to data centers in Denver, Colorado , Philadelphia ,
Pennsylvania , Sacramento , California , and any other data centers agreed upon by the cities .
c. initial Transport and Access provided through Fort Collins shall include the following
connections/components :
10-Gig to Sacramento ( Data & Video )
1 -Gig Ethernet to Philadelphia (Voice )
10-Gig dedicated in Denver
Burstable bandwidth in Sacramento
Dark Fiber to Denver
Cross Connects in Sacramento and Denver
Resolution 2019-073-Regional Transport and Access IGA with Estes Park
Staff is also proposing Fort Collins and Estes Park enter into an IGA for the construction , ownership , operation ,
maintenance and management of Transport and Access services for voice , video and internet on substantially
similar terms as those in the IGA with Loveland . The intent is the parties will develop a predictable price for
transport and access services for voice video and internet .
Under the IGA, the City and Estes Park would agree that Fort Collins must negotiate and contract for access to
Transport and Access and in exchange will be paid by Estes Park in accordance with a cost-allocation formula
provided in the agreement.
The Transport and Access provided through the IGA with Estes Park must minimally satisfy the same criteria
as that provided under the IGA with Loveland .
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The benefit of the IGA is that the City will have access to a more robust broadband network by sharing the
overall cost with the Loveland and Estes Park . Additionally, the shared cost approach allows the City and
Connexion subscribers to benefit from volume pricing on network infrastructure and bandwidth .

CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The CDBG and HOME programs provide federal funds from HUD to the City of Fort Collins which can be
allocated to housing and community development related programs and projects and administration of the
funds , thereby, reducing the demand on the City' s General Fund budget to address such needs . In FY2019 ,
the total amount of federal funds available for allocation is $2 , 187 , 930 and the City's contribution is
$ 1 ,414 , 695 . These dollars allow applicants to leverage other funding sources to provide needed services in our
community.
Through the provision of affordable housing , more of Fort Collins' workforce can reside within the community.
This means there is an available labor pool within the city, which is a positive benefit to economic
sustainability.
Human Service programs contribute to economic sustainability and homelessness prevention by providing
such programs as education , childcare , counseling , and rent assistance , so workers can maintain their
employment and housing .
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The CDBG Commission recommends adoption of their funding recommendations made on April 24 , 2019 . The
Commission read all applications , listened to presentations by each housing applicant, and asked clarifying
questions . In addition , in the Housing category, they reviewed the priority rankings of the Affordable Housing
Board (Attachment 2 ) , the goals of the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan and the priorities of the HUD required
Five-Year Consolidated Plan . In the Human Service category, they considered the performance of current
grantees , the priority areas of the Social Sustainability Strategic Plan (Attachment 3) , community needs and
the program ' s potential to address community needs . Each Commissioner then completed a scorecard to
reflect their evaluations of the Human Service proposals relative to a series of weighted criteria . The proposals
were then placed in descending ranked order based on the average scores of all participating Commissioners
(Attachment 4 ) . Statistical breaks were identified within the ranked order and the Commission proceeded to
deliberate funding recommendations following a rules-based protocol that they had predetermined .
For the 2019 grant process , several improvements were operationalized to maximize efficiencies and develop
equitable funding determinations . In the summer of 2018 , a subcommittee from the CDBG Commission was
convened and over 5 work sessions they identified improvements that address the plans , process and people
involved with the grant program . Particular attention was given to strengthening the connection of the grant
process to the City's plans , priorities , community needs and data . Objectivity and systemization were also
incorporated with the addition of a criteria-based scorecard and a deliberative funding decision methodology.
Opportunities for the Commission members to personally increase their awareness and expertise around
social issues were also provided .
The CDBG Commission members are subject to certain rules of ethical conduct established by the City
Charter and Code , including refraining from voting on or attempting to influence any decision in which he or
she has a financial or personal conflict of interest. At the Commission ' s regular meeting on April 3 , 2019 , a
presentation from the Senior Assistant City Attorney was made to all the CDBG Commission members
detailing the City Charter and Code provisions regarding conflict of interest and the disclosure process .
The following tables present the allocations recommended by the Commission to City Council within each
major category:

PUBLIC OUTREACH
At the March 27 , 2019 combined meeting the CDBG Commission and the Affordable Housing Board discussed
the merits of the housing proposals , without any funding discussion . Housing applicants also had the
opportunity to make presentations at that meeting and respond to questions . The CDBG Commission met on
April 12 , 2019 , to discuss the merits of the human services proposals and identify follow-up questions for the
applicants , without any funding discussion . The CDBG Commission held a meeting on April 24 , 2019 , to
deliberate all proposals and make funding recommendations . All meetings were open to the public and added
to the City calendar.
The City of Fort Collins Citizen Participation Plan for HUD funds requires a 30 -day public comment period on
the proposed allocation of CDBG and HOME funds prior to Council ' s final decision . Staff placed an ad in the
Coloradoan newspaper on May 3 , 2019 , presenting the list of recommended funding for programs/projects and
indicated the public comment period would start on May 4 , 2019 , and end on June 4 , 2019 . The Council
meeting on June 4 , 2019 , will serve as a Public Hearing and comments will be recorded and reported to HUD
in August. The public notice of funding recommendations was placed on the Social Sustainability Department's
website . It was also distributed to applicants and 11 entities serving a majority of clients in legally protected
classes-including those in a racial/ethnic minority, those with a disability, or female heads of households -or
serving those community members who might otherwise have barriers to public participation in the City's civic
engagement processes . To date no public comments have been received .

reasons:
E
# 1 HO-3 Volunteers of America- Senior Residences at Spring Creek U
• We are excited to see a developer returning after a long hiatus to develop affordable housing in Fort c,;
Collins TOM
• Despite the location concerns raised at the meeting, we feel the location is good and that many of 00
the concerns will be addressed through CHFA (from an environmental standpoint) and the planning a
and zoning process c
• CHFA is partnering with some great service components that will really enhance the quality of living c
for residents Q
• 55 new affordable rental units help to meet our strategic goal of increasing affordable units
.y
# 2 HO-2 Villages, Ltd-Myrtle Street SRO Rehab c
• This project serves a population that is challenging to house =
• Despite not submitting a capital needs assessment, this rehabilitation appears to exceed what an
earlier assessment indicated. The improvements are comprehensive and should cover the next 20
years. We are impressed with the thoughtful design and that they included input from residents m0
• The preservation of 15 units helps to meet our strategic goal of preserving existing affordable a,
housing inventory =.N
_
#3 HO-i Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity-Poudre Build =
• This one is not last because we felt it any less important than the others, merely that it is the only Z
one that qualifies for CHDO funds. We feel it should be fully funded.

wonderful Q
• This is the only homeownership affordable developer at this time

Agenda Item 20
Background
As electric scooters spread rapidly across the country, the City of Fort Collins must be thoughtful in regulating
these new shared mobility services . Currently these types of vehicles exist in an emerging and evolving
regulatory landscape . Experiences from other cities show there is a need to implement policies and practices
to regulate electric scooters to prevent unapproved and unregulated launches .
A Request for Proposal was issued on April 29 , 2019 . Interviews with prospective companies are expected to
take place the weeks of June 10 and/or June 17 , 2019 . The award of contract is expected to take place in late
July with the launch of the 12-month pilot period for the electric scooter share program to follow shortly after.
The proposed Code changes are part of a set of strategies to regulate electric scooters and other shared
and/or portable mobility devices , including :
• Parking regulations (adopted by Council on March 19 , 2019)
• Downtown Dismount Zone regulation (adopted by Council on March 19 , 2019 ) **
• Dismount at crosswalk Code amendment (adopted by Council on March 19 , 2019 ) **
• A Request for Proposal to contract with and manage vendors (currently in progress)
• Utilization of existing encroachment permit process (to be utilized once company is selected via Request
for Proposal process )
*Parking Regulations that Impact Electric Scooters
On March 19 , 2019 , Council adopted Ordinance No . 028 , 2019 , which regulates where shared mobility devices
can and cannot park as follows :
• Shared mobility devices may be parked in a parkway zone , beside bicycle parking , and in designated
areas
• Shared mobility devices may not be parked on blocks w/o sidewalks or in on -street parking spaces
• No parking of shared mobility devices if doing so would :
o Block pedestrian zone , fire hydrant, bus bench
o Impede use of window/sign display or access to/from building
o Impede the use of bicycle rack or news rack
• Shared mobility devices may not be parked in the parkway zone if doing so would place them adjacent to
or within transit/loading/disabled parking zone , street furniture , curb ramps , entryways , driveways
**Existing Downtown Dismount Zone Regulation
On March 19 , 2019 , Council adopted Ordinance No . 029 , 2019 , that established a dismount zone that includes
electric scooters and other portable mobility devices , requiring users to dismount when approaching the zone .
Council also amended this Ordinance to include that: "A person riding a shared mobility device shall dismount
before entering any crosswalk" .
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its January 16 , 2019 , meeting , the Transportation Board recommended Council approval of staffs proposed
City Code and Traffic Code changes related to parking and the Downtown Dismount Zone requirements
respectively.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Staff conducted extensive outreach and engaged in in -depth dialogues with City boards and committees ,
community stakeholder groups , and electric scooter share companies . Highlights include :
