Staff will continue to follow these efforts. June 4 Regular Meeting The June 4 agenda was reviewed. • Land Use Code Changes – It was noted that this has been separated into two ordinances so that Council can separately consider a proposed change to the variance process that allows the Director of Community Development and Neighborhood Services to process certain variances that are currently reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals. • Shared Use of Regional Broadband Transport and Access Services – It was noted that this is a first step towards regional collaboration for broadband services. With these agreements, Loveland and Estes Park will work with Fort Collins to share regional broadband transport and access services; related costs will also be shared. Plans to bring forward additional agreements for sharing of the Connexion network operations center were also mentioned. • Community Development Block Grant – Staff is asked to describe the new method that was used to approve funding as part of their presentation. • Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan – Plan Transfer of Density Units Program – It was noted that this has been a unique program and that the completion of it is a good news item.
