Are you currently serving on a City board or commission? Yes No
If so, which one?
Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I have given back to
my community in various capacities, and would now like to be more civically involved. As a 30-year community
member, and with my background as both a business owner and commercial broker, I believe I can contribute meaningfully.
Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board?
Yes No
If yes, please share your experience:
I attended a meeting to support a friend and business associate with a project he had submitted. I spoke on his behalf,
along with many others. The board was thoughtful in discussions and worked hard to ensure they understood and applied the
Land Use Code appropriately. The experience was positive and I was impressed with how the board engaged with each other
List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this
board or commission:
My interest in this board lies in the fact that I have lived in FC for 30 years, am a property owner, a business owner and
most recently, a commercial real estate broker. I have seen how the planning process works from outside the fence, and
I'd like to learn more about the internal workings and how I can work with other board members, City staff and the community
ATTACHMENT 1
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1)Open Space vs. DevelopmentAs the City expands geographically and land becomes more scarce, citizens
and local government are placing more importance on open spaces, as seen with the Harmony Gateway and
Hughes Stadium discussions. Too many restrictions on land use can result in depressed values, lack
of development and eventually outcomes that can be opposite of intention. This board, by nature of
having cross-citizen representation, must consider competing needs to find the right balance through
creative solutions and commitment to community, within the guidelines of the Land Use Code.
2)Affordable HousingOne of the many challenges with affordable housing is the balance between an affordable
housing stock, developers' profitability requirements, community desires and city regulations. As
with the current mobile home zoning discussions, existing uses provide an opportunity to preserve affordable
housing in areas that already exist. While the specific economics of affordable housing will be debated
and calculated outside of this board specifically, the board should act through interpretation of the
code to enable these types of opportunities.
3)Changing Political LandscapeAll levels of government - national, state and local - have seen evolutionary
change, including the Fort Collins City Council. Political discourse is impacting many aspects of our
lives, and will impact the decision-making process of this board. Members will need to be good listeners
and open to input and able to take criticism. They will need navigate this environment to ensure appropriate
community input while still meeting obligations to the City, Land Use Code and constituents.

or commission:

Have you resided in the Fort Collins Growth Management Area for at least one year?

Current Occupation: Program Manager, Cloud Services Employer: Internet2 (Higher Ed Non-Profit)
Recent and/or relevant work experience (please include dates) I spent more than ten years in technical
roles for Campus housing at the University of Arizona. I help design and build, first hand, housing, green spaces,
and socializing spaces that fostered community and social understanding. I know how important it is for the community
surrounding a University to both accommodate for, and embrace the student population, as well as retain the unique
Recent and/or relevant volunteer experience (please include dates) I volunteer with the SAGE group at Innosphere.
Through this lens, I have insight into the innovation that the communities around around Fort Collins and Boulder
are fostering. This connection to the VC and business community of Fort Collins has connected me to to many smart
individuals with a range of backgrounds and skillsets.
Are you currently serving on a City board or commission? Yes No
If so, which one?
Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I have an interest in
pedestrian scale design and making cities both accessible and affordable for a large group of individuals of
all walks of life. I wish to be part of helping Fort Collins grow and evolve to be attractive to the next generation.
Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board?
Yes No
If yes, please share your experience:
I was able to attend the October 2019 board meeting reviewing the application for the Garcia House Adult Residential Treatment
Facility. I found the interaction between the board members, and the interaction between the board members and citizen questioners
List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this
board or commission:
I am broadly read on topics of urban design, pedestrian scale design, and zoning law. I would categorize myself as bringing
an avid hobbyist approach to this role. I have a passion for making the city in which I live better, and more enjoyable
for my fellow citizens. I do hold an MBA but it is largely tangential to a role on the board.
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1)Affordability of walk-able housing - Fort Collins has spend many years developing Old Town Square as
a focus of walk-ability but maintains long structured zoning regulations to encourage more building
at the periphery, while restricting infill. One proposal to address these restrictions, while being
only lightly disruptive to existing neighborhoods, would be to permit the construction of lane houses.
These dwellings, popular in Vancouver, exit onto existing Old Town alleyways and can provide additional
residences while providing stable housing for families in the primary residence.
2)Mixed use zoning for residential bodegas and restaurants - Little on Mountain has proven to be a huge
success, providing needed outdoor life to Mountain Avenue. It pairs beautify with Beavers. But I can't
help but notice all of the storefronts that have been converted to houses, that used to provide corner
bodegas serving the neighborhoods. Encouraging more flexible zoning and permitting that encourages small
stores and restaurants saves from having to make a trip for milk to the big box store, and creates a
natural neighborhood gathering place to let folks meet and form connections.
3)Housing near transit - My partner and I are commonly the ride to the doctor for our elderly neighbors,
and during the pandemic this has become even more acute, even for retrieving groceries. Fort Collins,
and Old Town in particular, is beginning to build out taller (faux pedestrian friendly, if I my say
so myself) structures, but the price of these excludes all but the wealthiest. We are just at the front
of an extreme elder housing crisis and I would like to see more affordable options for folks, that can
complement the activities of the transit board and block grant commission.
Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board
or commission:
I do own a home in Old Town. Other than that, I do not foresee a serious conflict of interest.
Upon application for and acceptance of appointment, board and commission members demonstrate their intention and
ability to attend meetings. If appointed, frequent nonattendance may result in termination of the appointment.

Current Occupation: Retired Employer: none
Recent and/or relevant work experience (please include dates)
Recent and/or relevant volunteer experience (please include dates) Served on the City's Water Board 2011-2019.
I studied stormwater management in college before serving on the Water Board. While on the Board, I learned
how the City of Fort Collins manages stormwater. I understand Federal, State and local rules and regulations involved
in developing around its floodplains and I am a proponent of the City's LID program. I understand water requirements
Are you currently serving on a City board or commission? Yes No
If so, which one?
Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I served on Water Board
from 2011-2019 and I enjoyed being a part of the city government process. I have a civil engineering degree and
I am very interested in the City's storm water management regulations and requirements for land development.
Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board?
Yes No
If yes, please share your experience:
I have watched a number of Planning and Zoning Board meetings. This past year or two I listened in on the Harmony/I25 development,
the Hughes Stadium debate, the Rocking Horse development, and a number of others. I don't personally know anyone currently
List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this
board or commission:
Civil engineering degree, self study of urban storm water management, 8 years on the Water Board. Good understanding of
Colorado water laws and City regulations pertaining to water taps for development. I am very familiar with energy and water
efficient appliances. I've seen a number of development plans and understand construction terminology.
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1)Insure a fair and balanced review of land use proposals and keep politics out of the process. I believe
in making sure that the rules and the regulations are followed and everyone's opinion is important even
if it disagrees with mine. Development proposals can be very contentious and the board needs to be
sure that the decisions they make are ethically and morally responsible. The public needs less upheaval
and better communication.
2)Continue to look at zoning and regulations that support affordable housing options. We need more student
rental options other than up-zoning single family neighborhoods. Continue to support housing for the
homeless. Verify that affordable housing development is not in floodplains or does not put other homes
and businesses in the floodplain.
3)The Oil and Gas Industry continues to apply for permits to drill near the City of Fort Collins from
the east and the north. This industry has already impacted Fort Collins air quality and the closer
they get, the more air quality problems and hazardous spills we will see. I worked on the O&G regulations
while on the Water Board. Planning and zoning needs to be prepared to respond to this growing health
threat.

I talked with Jeffery Schneider and Angela Milewski about their experiences on the commission. I have also reviewed meeting

List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this

Please see experience listed on resume. I have 19 years within the construction industry and have a solid understanding
of the development process. I have also served on a non porofit board of directors for several years and appreciate the
work and passion that is required to serve.
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1)Affordable Housing - Having served on the board of directors for the Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity
for 7 years, I was able to see first hand how short Fort Collins is on inventory of affordable housing.
The partnership between a private investment LLC, Neenan, Habitat and the City created an amazing opportunity
at the Harmony Cottages development at the corner of Taft and Harmony. I think that this board has
the capability to anticipate and encourage more prospects like this by providing information and connections.
Affordable childcare also falls into this category in Ft. Collins also
2)Attracting and Retaining Prime Employers- Fort Collins is consistantly listed as a one of the top cities
in the US to live in, however, employment rates (up until COVID) were extremly low, which can make it
difficult for prime employers to find employees, and therefore hard for them to locate within the City.
I feel this board has ability to help City Council work with companies to create win-win partnerships
for all parties. I was able to see this in action on the Woodward HQ project.
3)Development and Permitting Processes - As a contractor I have seen first hand how development and permitting
process work in several cities and municipalities. Fort Collins has a robust system in place with many
positive and important components. I believe there are opportunities for more efficiencies and automation
which this board may be able to provide input on.

fuels which increase our greenhouse gas emissions. I believe this board should be considering how we
can build resilience as a community to respond to impacts of climate change by making decisions regarding
land use with sustainability and future generations in mind. Urban ecosystems and green infrastructure
are cost-effective solutions compared to traditional infrastructure.
2)Social, racial, economic, environmental injustice- Fort Collins is experiencing housing insecurity,
poverty, and homelessness. If the issue at hand is access to affordable housing, this knowledge of the
existing social inequity should be used to inform the recommendations made to City Council regarding
proposed land use and development projects. In addition, there exists a need for more transportation
options and board members could address this issue by factoring in potential to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions through public transit and ensuring it is affordable to address accessibility.
3)Profit/budget- we exist in a time where profit is often valued over life; yet, science tells us that
the way we are living is not sustainable and must change if we want to continue to exist. When considering
development plans, I believe the budget will be critical for members of the Planning and Zoning Board
to be cognizant of- especially given our current reality with COVID. Having various perspectives amongst
the board will allow for practical approaches to short and long-term priorities by shedding light on
the complexity of existing community needs and resources.

Are you currently serving on a City board or commission? Yes No
If so, which one?
Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? As an experienced land
use planner I understand the inner workings of development and land use. As a resident of Fort Collins I want
to be able to give back, and giving back utilizing the best skillet I possess is the best way I can think to do
Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board?
Yes No
If yes, please share your experience:
Yes, we have worked on projects within the City, so I have been a part of several meetings and also have watched study sessions.
I have not personally talked with anyone on the board.
List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this
board or commission:
My undergraduate and graduate degrees are in land use planning and been a land use planner for 16 years. I have worked
within dozens of municipalities throughout Colorado and that has caused me to have to read and understand many different
applications of code. Additionally, being in the career I am in has helped me better understand the development industry.
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1)Application of code. The role of the P&Z Board is to be an impartial board that reviews every case
independently and either provide a recommendation to Council or be the final vote. Our decisions should
be based on what the code and other governing documents prepared by the City say to ensure the approved
plans are followed. Voting shouldn't be based on feelings, what an individual thinks *should* happen,
or politics. From watching previous hearings it is clear that is not always the case.
2)Fairness. Its important that applications that are brought before P&Z Board are reviewed fairly and
equitably. That City Staff and Applicants receive consistent reviews and feedback from the board. This
comes back to issue one, consistent application of all applicable code and guiding documents.
3)Professionalism. As a long time attendee/presenter at P&Z meetings both here and throughout the Colorado
Front Range, I feel its very important that at a Board member you treat every application as your #1
priority. That means reading all materials, understanding the application before hearings, and asking
questions where your understanding falls short. My experience with P&Z has been mostly positive and
feel that they are prepared during these meetings, so I feel it is important and any new member also
has this level of accountability.
Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board
or commission:
I have three younger children (7, 10, & 13) so that is always an unknown. But for the most part I believe
I can adequately fulfill the duties requested of me.

If so, which one?
Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? As the city moves ever
closer to build out of undeveloped parcels, it becomes increasingly important to assure that policies, and the
implementation of those policies, promote greater inclusion of new and existing residents of our community.
Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board?
Yes No
If yes, please share your experience:
Have attended or observed meetings of P&Z numerous times over the years. As in the past, discourse among the current Board

List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this
board or commission:
Though not a certified planner, much of my professional experience revolves around the development of mixed-use and residential
properties. Working in communities across the state, and as a consultant outside Colorado, I have enjoyed opportunity to
engage multiple interests, public policies and processes to achieve balanced outcomes.
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1)City Plan and the host of attending documents, coupled with zoning and design standards exhibit (perhaps)
unintentional exclusiveness that discourages diversity of thought and deed. To achieve the expressed
desires of this Council, it is imperative upon P&Z to objectively examine the subtle nuance and implied
preference given to a more narrow interpretation of a desirable community. It is not simply a contest
of wills between the development community and statists, but a thorough assessment of disparate impacts
of public policy and prevailing business practice.
2)Balance between growth management and economic vitality. As residents of the community, we all face
issues that require a trade-off between the ethereal and pragmatic. P&Z, in particular, is charged
with defining and interpreting the degree to which that balance is achieved within the built environment
to the satisfaction of an amorphous few. The Board must be charged with examining policy, practices
and procedures to assure input is received and correctly incorporated from all segments of the community
rather than accede to the loudest voices.
3)Ushering a more resilient, sustainable environment that promotes long-term vitality and opportunity
for refreshing the community as circumstances change over time. As a 35-year resident, the community
looks very different today than it did then and we should all hope it looks much different 35 years
hence. As a key instrument for enacting the built environment, P&Z plays a vital role in this constant
process of reinvention. To that end, the Board should set aside time to explore a vision beyond current
proposals and imagine how we might leave opportunity for future iterations.
Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board
or commission:
Occasional conflicts will arise from my professional affiliation with applicants presenting before the
Board; perhaps one or two times per year. As owner of real property within the city, there are times
when project proposals will trigger a proximity notification.
Upon application for and acceptance of appointment, board and commission members demonstrate their intention and
ability to attend meetings. If appointed, frequent nonattendance may result in termination of the appointment.

Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? I have been in Fort
for 4 years. Part of the reason we moved here is the quality of life afforded by the City of Fort Collins.
Unfortunately, maintaining quality of life in a growing community is complicated and requires a balanced effort.

Yes No

I attended the P&Z meetings addressing the Hughes Redevelopment Zoning Recommendation.

board or commission:
I am a skilled facilitator with a strong business background. I have worked with many entities addressing difficult communication,
growth and organizational issues using creativity, problem solving, communication and facilitation skills.
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1)Affordable/Attainable Housing - Moving to Fort Collins was somewhat surprising to me. Coming from the
Mid-Atlantic where housing prices were sky high, I expected that Fort Collins would be affordable.
It is sad when University employees cannot effort to buy a house and do not see homeownership in their
future. There are many other Fort Collins citizens in the same predicament. The P & Z Board must work
with the city and the community to identify innovative ways of solving this problem.
2)Builders vs. Community - Fort Collins has been referred to as a world class city; however, our beloved
city is suffering from growing pains. Since I have been in this town, the number of housing developments
being built and in the planning stages represent close to 10,000 new homes. The builders want to build
and the community wants to maintain quality of life. Businesses need to be able to thrive and grow.
We need vision, collaboration and compromise to make this city work now and for the future.
3)Senior Housing - Fort Collins is a beautiful place to retire. Seniors today want to retire in place.
This city needs to plan affordable, accessible senior communities that allow for healthy, safe environments
for our aging population.

board or commission:
Knowledge of public finance;Understanding of development underwriting and financial modeling;Familiarity with Land Use Code;
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1)Creating and maintaining affordable options for a diverse and supportive community. Providing affordable
housing options is vital to our community on so many levels. I think home ownership brings pride and
personal investment to a community; it offers stability and wealth creation; it's critical to employers;
it supports diversity of all types; it provides safety and stability to our most vulnerable; and, is
critical to the retention and support of young professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, etc. Within the
limits of the Land Use Code, P&Z should offer support and creativity in addressing this issue.
2)Navigating challenges of a growing community within a growing state. Our city, the region, and the
state are all experiencing significant growth. Growth can bring about many positive benefits, such
as increased and more diverse employment opportunities, cultural benefits, infrastructure and community
investment; and, it can also create many challenges, such as traffic congestion, air quality issues,
parking challenges, overstressed infrastructure, and more. A thoughtful and open-minded approach is
critical to navigating these challenges.
3)Achieving high standards in an era of rising costs. Meeting our high standards for community amenities,
infrastructure, and planning requirements will continue to be challenging given the high cost of development
and construction. It will be important to continue to provide a predictable, constructive, and creative
review/entitlement process.

Recent and/or relevant work experience (please include dates) I am a retired city planner (2019). I was

Prior to that, I was a county planner for Adams County. My main focus was Current Planning (development review),

West Central Area Plan. Regarding the LUC, I was the principal author for a wide variety of processes and standards.

I staffed the Board for 33 years. This included writing staff reports and making recommendations on residential, multi-family,

As noted, I was a practicing professional planner for the City for 33 years. Being a member of AICP, I was required to
earn a required minimum number of continuing education credits every two years. I was skillful at moderating public participation,
code writing, development review and policy formation. I was a topic expert on a wide variety of standards and regulations
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1)Comprehensive Planning - the Board, through City Plan and Subarea Plans, advises Council on all aspects
of growth management. Plans and policies chart the course for the future. These policies are the foundation
of standards in the LUC. The Board needs to address these issues by refreshing the I.G.A. with Larimer
County to ensure that land development in the G.M.A. is equal to the standards of the City to prevent
sprawl, ensure separation between cities and the efficient delivery of services and utilities. Annexing
and zoning the E. Mulberry Corridor are critical issues facing the Board.
2)Development Review. The Board has quasi-judicial authority in the review of development projects. The
critical projects facing the Board include the redevelopment of Hughes Stadium, Montava and infill development
of 20 acres at S. Shields and W. Stuart. Establishing redevelopment standards for E. Mulberry Corridor
will be crucial in assimilating this area into our urban fabric. Redevelopment in Midtown along the
MAX (K-Mart, Chuck E Cheese and SpradleyBarr Mazda) will set the quality and character along S. College
for the next generation as will planning for the MAX extension on W. Elizabeth.
3)Process, Equity and Ethics. The Board must strictly adhere to established processes at all times. All
parties must be treated fairly and equitably without regard to race, religion, nationality or socio-economic
position. There must be respect and professionalism in the deliberation of plans, policies and projects
among Board members. As a member of the AICP, I was required to renew the ethics requirements every
two years. If selected, I would recommend that all Board members be similarly obligated so that the
overall ethics of the Board could be elevated beyond reproach.

equity, health for all citizens and access to locally produced food that are on
the cutting edge of the profession. Moving forward, I look forward to participating
in finding the best approaches for our community to address the all the relevant
issues of our times.

Proven ability to research and accurately apply complex codes including updates thereof, e.g., the National Electrical Code,
US Tax Code, forms of business organization, State and Local tax and business regulations, Financial Accounting Standards
Board & Government Accounting Standards Board rules/procedures; familiarity with construction documents and terms; familiarity
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1)Quality planning and development for a fast-growing small city. Our City has many needs and many constituencies
that are being addressed by matters before the P & Z. One role of a Board member is to advise the Council
on land use policy issues brought before them under Council's direction, by the Board's functions as
defined by the Municipal Code, and by the Staff all of which aim to better align the City's planning
documents and its LUC with changing times. In recent years, I've seen the TOD created, the PDOD, Metro
Districts, PUDs and City Plan changing to meet our changing City.
2)Thorough knowledge and application of the Land Use Code by members of the Board. The members of the
Board bring a variety of life skills and work experiences to their Board assignments. However, no member
will have studied every Article of the Code in depth. Since projects are evaluated on their compliance
with the LUC, I think it would be helpful for individual members to become subject matter experts thereby
increasing the knowledge base for the entire Board. I'm sure the individuals who choose to serve on
this Board are all self-starters as am I. But this might be looked at.
3)Checking with Staff to determine that public outreach has occurred for non-routine matters to be handled
by the P&Z Board. Examples would be when Land Use Code revisions are proposed, when policy matters
are coming before the Board such as proposals for manufactured housing, or major annexations. Development
Review has a predictable timeline for the public to follow -- neighborhood meetings and scheduling of
the P&Z hearing where public comment is part of the agenda. Public outreach should be similar for non-routine
matters.
Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board
or commission:
I know of none. I have filed an appeal of the CDNS Director's decision on a minor amendment which
has not been scheduled for a hearing before the Planning and Zoning Board as required by the LUC. I
have no financial interest in the outcome of the appeal. I would follow the Chair's direction if on

allow for for this, however, protect neighborhoods and work with in the process.
2)Hughes Stadium, Montava ... are big developments facing our city. The board must be able to do its job
with out unfair/undo and outside influences. The board must be fair and transparent so the community
and others be heard and a fair ruling with in the documented process that is on record. This will allow
the board to conduct a fair and impartial hearing that all citizens and developers can trust and respect.
