3. Our Climate Future Planning Update. (staff: Jensen Morgan, Molly Saylor, Michelle Finchum, John
Phelan; 15 minute presentation; 45 minute discussion)
The purpose of this work session is to provide an update to City Council on Our Climate Future
planning process and seek feedback on next steps towards Council consideration in early 2021.
Our Climate Future (OCF) is the project coordinating updates to the Climate Action Plan, Energy
Policy, and Road to Zero Waste Plan. Fort Collins has been a national leader for environmental action
with the adoption of ambitious climate, energy, and waste goals for over 20 years. Significant gains
have been made in each of these areas with primary climate and energy goals on track to achieve
2020 interim milestones. At the same time, efforts will need to quickly scale up to reach the 2030 goals.
Our Climate Future has proceeded with an intentionally different approach to updating planning
documents. The integration of updating three plans in one process acknowledges the interconnections
between waste, energy, and climate and identifies opportunities for connected solutions. Centering
the planning process and strategies in community-defined priorities will result in increased buy-in to
meet goals while simultaneously positively impacting other Fort Collins priorities.
Staff have consolidated the major strategy ideas gathered from community, consultant and staff input
into fifteen Big Moves that describe in plain and accessible language the outcomes which will lead to
the achievement of Fort Collins climate, energy and waste goals while simultaneously positively
impacting other community priorities.
4. Residential Metro District Evaluation System. (staff: Cameron Gloss, Paul Sizemore; 15 minute
presentation; 45 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to review and consider an evaluation system for Residential Metropolitan
(Metro) District Service Plans. Staff proposes a system that provides both minimum requirements and
a performance points system, including a menu of options, applied to Energy and Water Efficiency,
Housing Attainability and Community Livability attributes. The proposed system is intended to provide
metrics that further define ‘extraordinary public benefits’ as found in the adopted Metro District policy.
