First Reading of Ordinance No. 100, 2017, Amending Portions of Chapter 17 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Regulating Trespass and the Obstruction of a Highway or Passageway. (Adopted on First Reading) The purpose of this item is to consider changes to Section 17-128 of the City Code regarding obstructing a highway or passageway, including adding restrictions around obstructing public fixtures. A minor change to Section 17-40(b) of the City Code (Trespass) is also included, which adds lying or "otherwise occupying" to the already prohibited list of climbing, sitting or standing on or in objects on public or private property not designed for such use, and adds planters to the list of examples of such objects. City of Fort Collins Page 502 July 18, 2017 Jeff Mihelich, Deputy City Manager, stated staff has considered the obstruction ordinance as an offshoot of public outreach regarding the appropriate use of public spaces ordinances. The proposed modifications would prohibit the blocking and passage of public fixtures, including pedestrian walk signals, benches, and water fountains. The minor amendment to the trespass ordinance addresses flower beds. Lynn Thompson, Fort Collins Homeless Coalition, disagreed that the proposed changes are too minor for a public outreach process. She expressed concern the changes overly -broaden the obstruction. ordinance and stated the 20-foot distance is poorly related to the idea of creating clear passage. Debra James opposed the proposed changes as being discriminatory to homeless citizens. Kelly Connor opposed the proposed changes stating they will harm more people than they will help. Andy Auer opposed the proposed changes. Nevan Mandel opposed the proposed changes. Nicholas Mouton stated the proposed changes should be subject to public comment. Cheryl Distaso, Fort Collins Homeless Coalition, expressed concern regarding the proposed changes. Fran Levine opposed the proposed changes. Katie Simota opposed the proposed changes. Nancy York opposed the proposed changes and stated they may lead to illegal discrimination. Councilmember Stephens asked how the 20-foot distance was determined. Mihelich replied the 20-foot obstruction from a business entrance has been part of the ordinance for many years and is not a new provision. He discussed the likely reasons for the provision, such as allowing for deliveries or mobility devices. Councilmember Stephens asked if any progress on a day shelter has occurred. Mihelich replied that idea is still being examined; however, there are many existing multi -purpose facilities such as Catholic Charities and Murphy Center. Councilmember Stephens asked if these changes are necessary if the 20-foot distance and keeping off flower beds are already part of existing regulations. Mihelich replied the language in the Code regarding flower beds relates to destruction of planter contents. These changes will also prohibit causing damage to planters. Councilmember Cunniff asked if some of the planters were designed for edge seating. Mihelich replied in the affirmative. Councilmember Cunniff asked if the proposed changes are necessary given some of the planters are designed for seating. Mihelich replied these regulations would only be enforced in the instance of inappropriate sitting or lying within the flower beds. City of Fort Collins Page 503 July 18, 2017 Councilmember Martinez asked about the width of downtown sidewalks. Mihelich replied they are 15 feet wide; however, there are many places throughout downtown, particularly on corners, where not only the sidewalk is in the right -of -,way. Councilmember Martinez asked how many people responded to the questionnaire regarding the appropriate use of public space ordinance. Mihelich replied there was a tremendous public outreach effort, and as a result, Council clearly directed staff to forego exploring the appropriate use of public space ordinance but rather to dig deeper and look at the obstruction ordinance. Mihelich stated language clarification could be inserted prior to Second Reading regarding planters designed for seating; however, he noted placement of belongings on flower beds is also damaging. City Attorney Daggett clarified the trespass provision makes clear that, to the extent there are objects in the right-of-way on the sidewalk that are not intended to be sat or laid upon, that action is not permitted. However, if there are planters or other types of objects designed and intended to be sat upon, that is not prohibited. She noted the term "entrance" is defined as part of these proposed changes. Councilmember Overbeck requested a map showing the areas in the city to which the 20-foot regulation would apply. He asked why these changes were not brought before boards and commissions. Mihelich replied the public outreach regarding the topic of unwanted behaviors and movement along the sidewalks was intense and boards and commissions weighed in heavily at that time. Councilmember Overbeck suggested lowering the 20-foot distance. Councilmember Stephens asked about specific ADA requirements. Mihelich replied staff would return with that information. Councilmember Cunniff made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Martinez, to adopt Ordinance No. 100, 2017. Councilmember Cunniff noted this Ordinance is the direct result of Council direction and stated sidewalks need to be available for their intended purpose. He expressed support for the Ordinance as written. Councilmember Overbeck made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Stephens, to amend the motion to reduce the distance from 20 feet to 15 feet in the appropriate ordinance sections. Councilmember Stephens agreed this was requested by Council; however, she stated she is more comfortable with 15 feet. City Attorney Daggett displayed the ordinance language with the distance change. ., Councilmember Stephens supported this ordinance as a compromise. Councilmember Martinez asked how enforcement of a 15-foot distance would occur. Kevin Cronin, Assistant Police Chief, replied the primary concern is accessibility for all as well as the use of Old Town. He stated events with alcohol could cause issues with a 15-foot distance. City of Fort Collins Page 504 July 18, 2017 Councilmember Martinez stated people with disabilities should not be restricted in their movement and supported the 20-foot distance as a necessity. Councilmember Cunniff stated he supports the creation of a map, but stated Police feedback is important and opposed the motion to reduce the distance at this time. The vote on the motion to amend was as follows: Yeas: Overbeck and Stephens., Nays: Cunniff, Horak and Martinez.. THE MOTION FAILED. Councilmember Overbeck stated he will not support the Ordinance until he sees the map identifying the community impact. Councilmember Martinez stated he would support the motion. Councilmember Stephens stated she would not support the motion as the entire 15-foot width of the sidewalk should be plenty. RESULT: ORDINANCE NO. 100, 2017,.ADOPTED ON FIRST READING [3 TO 2] MOVER: Ross Cunniff, District 5 SECONDER: Ray Martinez, District 2 AYES: Martinez, Cunniff, Horak NAYS: Stephens, Overbeck ABSENT: Summers, Troxell J (Secretary's Note: The Council took a brief recess at this point in the meeting.) • CONSIDERATION OF CITIZEN -PULLED CONSENT ITEMS 20. First Reading of Ordinance No. 098, 2017, Annexing the Property Known as the Blehm- Homestead Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. (Adopted on First Reading) The purpose of this item is to annex an enclave area of approximately 109 acres in southeast Fort Collins. The Initiating Resolution was adopted on consent, June 6, 2017. The property is situated between South Timberline and Ziegler Roads, and bisected by Kechter Road. The 28-parcel enclave consists of the Blehm Subdivision, two abutting properties to the east of the Blehm Subdivision, Homestead PUD, and one abutting property to the west of the Homestead PUD. Kai Kleer, Planning Services, stated this annexation is approximately a 109-acre enclave annexation in southeast Fort Collins between south Timberline and Ziegler. The recommended zoning is Urban Estate based on the Structure Plan and Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. The annexation meets the 3-year eligibility requirements as outlined by Colorado Statutes and is consistent with the policies contained within the intergovernmental agreements between the City and Larimer County. John Baum requested a reduction in stormwater fees after annexation until a property is modified in such a way to significantly affect stormwater runoff. He stated the properties in his neighborhood absorb water rather than contribute to runoff. He stated his second request is for City of Fort Collins Page 505 July 18, 2017 the Utilities Executive Director to reduce the fees should Council opt not to do so. Brad Ardt stated the lots in the subdivision have a very low percentage of hardscape cover and requested a reduction in stormwater fees. James Ott requested a reduction in stormwater fees given most of each lot is pasture land which will absorb stormwater rather than contribute to runoff. Eric Sutherland commented on City Utility fees. Jon Haukaas, Water Engineer and Field Operations Manager, stated staff considered this request and determined the Code does recognize variability in lot sizes and these fees provide a collective benefit for flood mitigation and other city-wide systems. Councilmember Cunniff asked if PILOTS have been discussed with the other water and sanitation districts. Haukaas replied it has not been part of the collaboration discussion to date but he will look into the topic. Councilmember Cunniff made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Overbeck, to adopt Ordinance No. 098, 2017, on First Reading. Mayor Pro Tem Horak noted the agenda materials state a $37 monthly fee while some of the speakers indicated a higher dollar amount. Haukaas replied the agenda item summary included that example to show some of the reductions and calculations for a 100,000-square foot, or 2.5 acre, lot. The amount is not only based on impervious surface but lot size as well. RESULT: ORDINANCE NO. 098, 2017 ADOPTED ON FIRST READING [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Bob Overbeck, District 1 SECONDER: Ross Cunniff, District 5 AYES: Martinez, Stephens, Overbeck, Cunniff, Horak ABSENT: Summers, Troxell • OTHER BUSINESS Mayor Pro Tern stated a possible Charter amendment would modify the jurisdiction of the Municipal Court to eliminate the potential for civil claims, which would instead go to District Court. Councilmember Cunniff stated he would like to have additional public discussion and sub- committee work on the topic prior to placing the Charter amendment on the ballot. City Attorney Daggett stated the Charter places original jurisdiction over any matters arising over the City Charter or Code with the Municipal Court. A land use decision made by Council was recently appealed to the Municipal Court by parties -in -interest and the case is proving to be somewhat difficult for the Court given alleged conflict of interest issues and the type of case. This amendment would eliminate, in the future, continued use of the Municipal Court as the means of challenging Council decisions or civil claims. Councilmembers Martinez and Stephens supported moving forward with placing the item on a Council agenda for consideration. City of Fort Collins Page 506 July 18, 2017 Councilmember Overbeck asked if a public outreach process can occur. City Manager Atteberry replied the timeline is limited; however, staff could have some outreach per Council direction. Councilmember Cunniff noted this will not affect the trajectory of the current case and suggested the item could be placed on the April ballot. Mayor Pro Tem Horak suggested discussing the item at next week's work session. Consideration of a motion to amend the Call of Special Meeting for 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, August 8, 2017. Councilmember Cunniff made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Stephens, pursuant to Section- 2-29a- of the City Code, that the City Council add to the subjects to be discussed at the Special Meeting of the Council called by motion of the Council on June 6, 2017 for 6:00 PM on Tuesday, August 8, 2017, for the purpose of considering matters related to broadband and other telecommunication services in Fort Collins and taking related actions on the following items: • Consideration of a resolution approving comments on the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) wildlife mitigation plan -1"•! ti - >; J • Consideration on First Reading of an ordinance appropriating funds for the cost of the November 7`h Special Municipal Election • Consideration on First Reading of an ordinance appropriating funds for the construction of the Gardens on Spring Creek • Consideration on First Reading of an ordinance setting a Charter amendment and related ballot language to be presented to the voters at the November 7`h special municipal election. Councilmember Cunniff made a friendly amendment to eliminate the last item from the motion. The friendly amendment was accepted by Councilmember Stephens.
