Dear Mayor Troxell, Mayor Pro Tem Horak, and Council Members Overbeck, Martinez,
Campana, Stephens and Cunniff;
You are slated to consider Items Relating to the Addition of Permitted Use Amended Process at
your meeting on July 7, 2015.
The Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce is opposed to any changes to Section 1.3.4
Addition of Permitted Uses (APU). The APU is an important tool that allows for creativity and
flexibility in community design as we grow into an urban center while acknowledging that our
restrictive code may not be perfect.
The APU process is incredibly rigorous and already includes an option for appeal by citizens
and Council. We don't believe that changes are appropriate at this time.
Sincerely,
Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce
David L. May
President & CEO
