Title: City of Fort Collins Land Use Policies Plan Introduction. The following paragraph will be added. The major elements of the Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan include, the Goals and Objectives, the Land Use Policies Plan, the Open Space Plan,. the Transportation Plan, the Housing Plan, the Extension Plan for Public Services and Facilities, and the Environmental Management Plan. Definition: Phasing Plan The gradual incorporation or sequential extension of development or services and facilities of an urban area into rural and other non -urban areas. The Land Use Policies Plan calls for the develop- ment of two phasing plans, one for developments within the urban growth area and one for the expansion of public services and facilities. The phasing plan for the urban growth area is presently contained in the:Loveland/Fort Collins Corridor Area Growth Manage- ment Plan and lists seven absolute criteria which need to be satis- Pied for development approval. The phasing plan for public services . and facilities will be developed based on a Capital Improvements Program. Definition: Neighborhood Service Center A shopping area designed to meet consumer demands from an adjacent neighborhood and provide alternate locations for strip commercial development presently locating along major arterials. The primary functional offering is a supermarket grocery store with associated shops ranging in size from 80,000 to 120,000 square feet. Policy 2 All elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan must be inter -related with the Land Use Policies Plan, particularly the Transportation Plan. Policy 4 Explanation/Discussion The criteria through which the City will evaluate an annexation proposal will include provisions of State law, the inventory of undeveloped land presently within the City, the necessity of the area for a logical growth pattern of the City, the ability of the City_to eventually provide services and facilities to the area, and a service provision cost/tax revenue analysis for the area. The annexation evaluation process will also include the applica- tion of City development standards, fees, and taxes. -57- Policy 5 August 14, 1979 The City shall prepare, the necessary graphics to clearly define the intent of the policies of the Land Use Policies Plan. Policy_ 5 Explanation/Discussion In order to clarify the intent or interpretation of the policies in the Land Use Policies Plan, support maps and graphics will be necessary. Policy 9 Land use, site planning and urban design criteria shall be developed to promote pleasant, functional, and understandable inter -relationships through and between land uses.. Policy 13 Based on a fiscal evaluation and an analysis of effects on the . Capital Improvement Program the City should provide utility,and infrastructure improvements, streets, power, etc., in order_to direct growth in desired directions.or areas. Policy 19 Services provided by existing special service agencies should be located in areas that support the City's Land Use Policies Plan which will help to define a concentrated urban land use pattern. Policy 20 The City must cooperate with the County in establishing an urban growth area surrounding Fort Collins. Policy 25 Development in the urban growth area should be consistent with development policies set forth in this plan. Policy 26 The City shall work with the County in establishing a phasing. plan for the urban growth area. Policy 27 All special purpose service and utility districts should eventually - merge with the City's system and form a single system to take advantage of economies of scale. The City and Districts should negotiate a mutually agreeable merger date and enter into formal agreements to realize the merger until such a time as the merger is realized, the City and Districts should mutually establish service area boundaries which could allow the districts to provide service within the city limits and the city to provide service beyond the city limits. The service area boundaries should be based upon an evaluation of the agency that can economically provide service to area residents. IM August 14;.1979 Policy 27 Explanation/Discussion The purpose of this policy is to enable the formulation of a single agency for the Urban Growth Area by consolidating the special districts providing service in the Urban Growth area with the city service agencies. Such a combined agency would eliminate the present duplication of services, increase efficiency in facility use and assure consistent service levels to the resi- dents. The interim service area boundary would eliminate the present conflicts over service areas and enable the City and districts to provide residents with the best service at the lowest " rates. This policy will only be effective if all the aspects are mutually agreed to by the City and districts. A date must be agreed to for long term merger; interim service area boundaries. must be agreed to and common engineering standards must be established. Policy 30 - The -City shall review applications for the creation of new special.service agencies plus the expansion of existing special service agencies in line with the policies included in this Plan. Policy 30 Explanation/Discussion The purpose of City review of expansion plans for special districts is to: 1) assure the most economical service to all residents I of. the Urban Growth Area; 2) assure maximum efficiency in use of facilities; 3) evaluate effect of expansion on merger agreements; and, 4) evaluate 'expansion in relation to Urban Growth Area land use policies and established service area boundaries. The criteria that would be used to review expansion plans would be: 1) fiscal implications to the City and District; 2) cost implication to existing and potential system users; 3) compatibility of proposed expansion with common design standards; 4) ability of expansion to fully provide for projected growth in the area; and, 5) capability of district overall facilities to accommodate increased service. The anticipated effect of City review of expansion plans would be: 1) for sewer district expansion where the City is expected to become the 208 management agency for the Urban Growth Area the City would have to approve or deny the proposed expansion; 2) for water and other districts expansions the City would comment to the district and county concerning findings of review and present recommendations where problems existed the City would attempt to negotiate mutually agreeable solutions. Policy 31 Eliminate the policy - redundant with Policy 17. Policy 32 Explanation/Discussion A more specific policy document should be prepared to aid land use decision making for redevelopment proposals in the core area of the City. The policies would cover land use and other concerns such as recycling and restoration of existing buildings. -59- August'14; 1979 Policy 34 Explanation/Discussion_ This policy and Policy 32 require the development of a more detailed land use plan for the core area of the City. Like the City's overall Land Use Policies Plan, the Core Area Development Plan will include specific policies for land use locations and methods for phasing the logical expansion of land uses, utilities, and services: Policy 47. Conservation of resources and energy shall be addressed by land use, site planning and design.criteria. Policy 50, 51, 52 Explanation/Discussion Air quality is a regional problem and must be attacked at a regional, level. The City's Land Use Policies Plan can aid in regional air.quality improvement by concentrating land uses, properly locating neighborhood service centers so they can be walked or bicycled to, and increasing densities so mass transit becomes economically viable. Policy 51 The City's Land Use Policies Plan shall be directed toward minimizing the use of private automobiles. and toward alleviating and mitigating the air quality impacts of concentrated use of automobiles. Policy 60,.61, 62, 63, 64, 65 Explanation/Discussion These policies attempt to establish the,locational criteria for a neighborhood service center. A neighborhood service center by definition is a shopping area designed to meet consumer demands from an adjacent. neighborhood and provide alternate locations for strip commercial development presently locating along major arterials. The primary functional offering is a supermarket grocery store with associated support shops usually ranging in . size from 80,000 to 120,000 square feet of total retail trade space. It is anticipated that these policies will lead to the establishment of a neighborhood service center within every two .. . square mile area of the city. Policy 75 Density bonuses should. be provided to developers who provide low and moderate income housing. Policy 80 The core area phased expansion plan should depict appropriate locations for higher density residential conversions. Policy 83 The City will assist the County in the development of incentives to preserve agricultural land. -60- 'August 14, 1979- Policy 84 1 • The City will assist the County in the development of a mechanism for public acquisition of parks and open spaces. Policy 85 - Consistent with a fiscal analysis and effects on the Capital Improvements Program, the City will purchase open space and/or development rights to define the community identity of the City. Policy 89 - Consistent with a fiscal impact analysis and effects on the Capital Improvements Program, the City should acquire and utilize the officially designated floodways of the Poudre River, Spring Creek, and Fossil Creek for open space. Policy 97 The City will submit its Land Use Policies Plan to the County and the Council of Governments for consideration as an element of their respective comprehensive plans. Chapter III Timetable for Supplemental Parts of the Land Use Policies Plan. Mayor Bowling then inquired which items Council and the public would like to have pulled for consideration. The following items were withdrawn. . Policies 20, 26, 27, 30, and 85. Policy 20 Amended POLICY 20. The City Faust WILL cooperate with the County in establishing an urban growth area surrounding Fort Collins EXPLANATION/DISCUSSION An answer to solving the problem of . urban sprawl development in the Fort Collins area is for the City and the County to establish an urban growth area surrounding the City. The urban growth area is a concept change from the original concept of an urban ser- vice area contained in the City's Goals and Objectives document. The change. resulted through the present planning.`. process. The urban growth area is a technique to guide and manage growth beyond the city limits where the pre-..-i . - sence of water and sewer utilities enables development to occur. City - County cooperation in establishing an urban growth area is essential since no enabling State legislation has been passed to allow the City to act inde- pendently. . Councilman St.. Croix requested the word "must" be changed to "will", Council consensus was to approve this change., -61- August 34, 1979 Policy 26 Amended POLICY 26. The City vast WILL work with the County in establishing a phasing plan for the urban growth area. 27 Councilman St. consensus was Croix requested the word "must" be changed to approve the change. Policy 27 - Explanation/Discussion Amended EXPLANATION/DISCUSSION This, Policy states that phasing criteria should be established for development in the urban growth area. to "will".. Council Mr. Ira Miller representing the East Larimer Water District and the Boxelder '- Sanitation district spoke. to the desired changes on behalf of the districts. The following changes were made: POLICY Existing special service agencies should eventually be purchased by the City (based on a positive cost/ benefit.analysis) and incorporated into a single system to ,take advan- tage of economies of scale. Until such a time when the City can eco- nomically purchase existing special service agencies, these special ser- vice agencies should be allowed to provide services within the urban growth area. In regards to specific water and sewer provisions, utility services in the urban growth area should be provided by the service agency which can provide them in the most economical fashion. POLICY Policy 30 - No Changes 30. The City shall review applications for the creation of new special service agencies plus the expan- sion of existing special service agencies in line with the policies. included in the City's Land Use Plan. EXPLANATION/DISCUSSION The purpose of.this policy is to enable the formulation of a single agency for the,. Urban Growth Area. by consolidating the special districts providing service in the Urban Growth area with the City service agencies. Such a combined agency would eliminate the present ANY duplica- tion of services, increase efficiency in facility use and assure consistent ser-. vice levels to the residents. The interim service area boundary would eliminate the present conflicts over service areas and enable the City and districts to pro- vide residents with the best service at the lowest rates. This policy will only be effective if all the aspects are mutually agreed to by the City and dis- tricts. A date will be agreed to for long term merger, interim service area boundaries must be agreed to and common engineering standards will be established. EXPLANATION/DISCUSSION New service agencies and the expansion of existing service agencies will be reviewed in accordance with the City's ability to eventually purchase the agency plus the agency's interim capability of providing a service at a rate lower than what the service would cost if the City were to provide it. Councilman Kross inquired into the intent of the policy. Upon hearing the explana- tion --no change was made. -62- August.14, 1979 Policy 60 Explanation/Discussion Amended Councilman:Wilkinson opposed the ear.marking of a specific business, such as "a supermarket grocery store".

THE MOTION CARRIED. -63- August.14, 1979 Mayor Bowling then called for public input. 1. Vic Meline, 1212 Southridge Drive, Chairman of Chamber of Commerce. The Growth Management Committee read the following letter into the record: The Growth Management Committee has thoroughly reviewed the proposed Land Use Policies and is fully supportive of the basic, approach and direction this part of the city planning process has taken. The Committee strongly encourages the Council to vigorously continue this process. The purpose of this report is to underscore and focus on what we believe to be some of the major policies, some of which are already incorporated in the Land Use Policies document, and others which are proposed additions to the document. It is the Committee's conclusion that the basic document, with minor adjustments, is now ready to proceed through the normal approval process. Of utmost importance, bowever, is a well-defined, clear,program for the immediate steps and tasks to be undertaken in this continuing process. Additionally, it will be important to give weight " and order to the policies. Some policies are significantly more important than others. The document, as it is currently structured, has taken a sbot.gun approach in this respect. Further prioritization is appropriate as a next step. 1. The committee has substantial concern for the accuracy of the population pro- jections. We believe they underestimate the real growth potential for the next 20 years. Recommendation: a. Update and sensitize projections with the Council of Governments. b. Acknowledge a more realistic growth rate for planning purposes. -64_ August 14, 1979 -going program designed to comprehensively C. Undertake an intensive on analyze potential impacts (economic, social, environmental, physical) and alternative growth management measures including measures which can influence the location, direction and rate of growth. 2. The committee must highlight the need for fiscal impact assessment on the community and the area. It is important to realize that implementation of . these policies will create bard choices in the future which could also create financial hardships on the community. Fiscal planning and impact can no longer be ignored, and must be addressed as part of this on -going process. Recommendation: Develop a fiscal impact analysis system capable of projecting the service re- quirements as well as the public costs associated with residential and non-residential growth. Such a system will have a direct, positive effect on the city's ability to maintain fiscal stability, especially during periods of rapid growth and development. It should be viewed as a city accounting system which provides insight into the fiscal effect of land use decisions. 3. Many problems of the area appear to frequently transcend political boundaries, reinforcing the logic and appropriateness of a "super authority", I. e., utilities, storm drainage, Urban Growth Area, transportation,' air quality, water, etc. Recommendation: While the committee recognizes the importance of step-by-step planning, it is suR- gested that serious consideration be given to a metro scaled Governmental Structure either existing or newly created, most capable of planning and administrating area -65- August 14, 1979 growth and development. Often, local growth management may provide only a simplistic and physical development solution, placing undue burden on neighboring areas. 4. Consistency among various policy documents (Growth management Policy Plan, the Corridor Study and the Urban Service Area Study) should be assured by the city and the county. 5. The committee supports both the concept of the Urban Growth Area and compact, in -fill development, but is concerned about the possible undermining effect the Urban Growth Area may have on the ability to simultaneously encourage compact in -fill development. Recommendation: Investigation and development of "significant" bonus measures and policies which . provide added incentives for in -fill development. 6. While the committee is concerned with the rats of growth, we are equally concerned with the quality of growth. R e commendation: Continued attention and efforts must be maintained to positively influence well considered development. The committee recognizes the potentials offered by the proposed impact assessment system and point assessment system. Increased public awareness is necessary, however, prior to adoption of such measures. Of particular concern is the point system. -66- August 14,- 1979 7 Energy conservation is of utmost concern for Fort Collins and the nation as a whole. Recommendations Special emphasis must be placed on creating effective incentives for energy -responsive construction and development. Continued attention to energy -conserving construction as well as utilization of non-polluting energy sources as outlined in Policy 49 should be encouraged. Important considerations should include: a. Solar beating b. Street standards and layout. including a system of bike lanes C. Street tree planting d. Setbacks ' e. Envelope zoning for solar protection f. Landscaping standards g. Architectural design h. Lot orientation 8. The committee supports the concept of open spaces, parkland, agricultural land preservation and especially, maintaining community identity as outlined in policies 82-96. Recommendation: Realizing the fiscal impact of these policies, we encourage that immediate efforts be made to undertake a tborough study of methods for implementation. Included may be: to credit as active open spaces a development which contributes lands for public park spaces, income and property tax incentives, cost sharing, new fee structures, and private/public foundation grants. August 14, 1979 9. As indicated in our initial comments, the committee favors conversion to water meters for future conservation. Recommendation: Explanation and public discussion of fiscal and resources impact on the community with conversion to meters is recommended. Included in the explanation and dis- cussions should be conservation, and projected residential and commercial user ` fees, both on a short- and long-term basis. 10. The committee has continuing interest in exploring various kinds of growth manage- ' ment techniques. This might include studying the effects of such techniques as: a. Geographic limits around urbanized areas to define where staged or sequenced urban development may be located; b. Competitive comparison and evaluation of proposed subdivisions to select those which may be approved; C. Fees and exactions from new developments to cover costs of public im- provements; d. Requirements for a mix of uses, amenities, prices or densities in new developments within specific areas of a jurisdiction or over a particular period of time; e. Short-term limits on the volume of residential construction. The committee understands that the city planning staffJs,,undertaking such an evaluation. This committee is willing to provide appropriate assistance. -68- August 14, 1979 2. Mr. Bill Burt, 1900 S. Shields, Chairman of the Board of the ..,Northern Colorado Resources Council endorced-the position of the Chamber of Commerce. 3. Reid Rosenthal, 1413 Stonehenge, requested Council change Policy No 65 by adding the following phrase: "Neighborhood scale service centers shall not locate adjacent to regional community shopping areas ` along College Avenue unless located in the City Zoning district, which at the time, of. adoption- 'on' this plan=allowed said uses."
