PUBLIC COMMENT FOLLOW-UP
City of Fort Collins Page 4
Consent Calendar
The Consent Calendar is intended to allow the City Council to spend its time and energy on the important
items on a lengthy agenda. Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Anyone may request
an item on this calendar to be "pulled" off the Consent Calendar and considered separately. Agenda
items pulled from the Consent Calendar will be considered separately under Pulled Consent Items. Items
remaining on the Consent Calendar will be approved by City Council with one vote. The Consent
Calendar consists of:
● Ordinances on First Reading that are routine;
● Ordinances on Second Reading that are routine;
● Those of no perceived controversy;
● Routine administrative actions.
If the presiding officer determines that the number of items pulled from the Consent Calendar by citizens
is substantial and may impair the Council’s ability to complete the planned agenda, the presiding officer
may declare that the following process will be used to simplify consideration of the Citizen-Pulled
Consent Items:
(1) All citizen-pulled items (to be listed by number) will be considered as a group under the heading
“Consideration of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items.”
(2) At that time, each citizen wishing to speak will be given a single chance to speak about any and all
of the items that have been moved to that part of the agenda.
(3) After the citizen comments, any Councilmember may specify items from the list of Citizen-Pulled
Consent Items for Council to discuss and vote on individually. Excluding those specified items, Council
will then adopt all “Citizen-Pulled Consent Items” as a block, by a single motion, second and vote.
(4) Any Citizen-Pulled Consent Items that a Councilmember has asked to be considered individually will
then be considered using the regular process for considering discussion items.
1. Consideration and Approval of the Minutes of the October 20, 2020 Regular Meeting and the October
27, 2020 Adjourned Meeting.
The purpose of this item is to approve the minutes of the October 20, 2020 Regular Meeting and the
October 27, 2020 Adjourned Meeting.
2. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 142, 2020 Authorizing the Conveyance of a Portion of City Property
at Kingfisher Natural Area in Exchange for an Access Easement at 1807 East Mulberry Street.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 17, 2020, conveys a Quit Claim
Deed of a portion of Kingfisher Natural Area, historically used for parking and access associated with
the businesses occupying 1807 East Mulberry Street, to DD&B Investment Group, LLC (DDB) in
exchange for a Non-Exclusive Access Easement from DDB to the City for access to Kingfisher Natural
Area.
3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 143, 2020, Transferring Appropriations in the General Fund from
the Coronavirus Relief Fund, CARES Act, Title V, to the Water and Wastewater Funds.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 17, 2020, transfers $27,245 and
$13,562 of the City’s Coronavirus Relief Fund (CVRF) money from the General Fund to the
Wastewater and Water Funds, respectively. The transfer is necessary to recognize the future
depreciation of certain expenses in the Wastewater and Water Funds for lab supplies and to support
teleworking capabilities. To account for this depreciation correctly and to recognize the depreciation
expense in the correct fund, the original expenditures should occur in the Wastewater and Water
Funds.

4. Postponement to December 15, 2020, of Second Reading of Ordinance No. 145, 2020 Amending the
Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins by Changing the Zoning Classification for that Certain Property
Known as the Timberline Church Rezoning.
Required notice for Second Reading of this Ordinance was not published in the Coloradoan.
Therefore, second reading will be postponed until December 15, 2020.
This item is a quasi-judicial matter and if it is considered on the discussion agenda, it will be considered
in accordance with Section 1(f) of the Council’s Rules of Meeting Procedures adopted in Resolution
2019-064.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted First Reading on November 24, 2020, amends the City’s Zoning
Map to change the zoning designation for the Timberline Church Campus from Low Density Mixed-
Use Neighborhood (LMN) to Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MMN). The area proposed to
be rezoned is approximately 32.79 acres. The applicant proposes the rezoning to support future infill
housing on the site and enable higher density housing than would be allowed with the current LMN
zoning. Additional commercial and institutional uses may also be proposed. The church has been in
discussions with CSU regarding a potential land swap to construct an attainable housing project. CSU
would donate their 4.76 acres on Timberline Road, and the church will swap 8-10 acres for the CSU
property.
The rezoning request is subject to the criteria in Section 2.9.4 of the Land Use Code. The rezoning
may be approved, approved with conditions, or denied by Council after receiving a recommendation
from the Planning and Zoning Board, which voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the request with
condition that the residential density be limited to 20 units per gross acre and that an Overall
Development Plan (ODP) precede or accompany the Project Development Plan (PDP). The purpose
of the condition of approval is to provide a density limit to help achieve a compatible transition with the
surrounding neighborhood because the MMN zone district does not have a maximum density
requirement. Additionally, the ODP would help identify the general design parameters for the property
- including the general location and nature of proposed uses, transportation circulation, open space,
buffers, and drainage features. A traffic study is also required. The ODP is required to be reviewed by
the Planning and Zoning Board and would require at least one neighborhood meeting.
5. First Reading of Ordinance No. 146, 2020 Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the Self Insurance
Fund for Increased Premiums for Property Loss Insurance.
The purpose of this item is to appropriate funds to compensate for increased premiums for the City’s
property loss insurance that were paid by the Self Insurance Fund for the 2020/2021 period.
The City’s Self Insurance Fund is currently over budget through October 2020 and is expected to
remain over budget through year-end. The primary driver of this increase is the higher insurance
premiums that have been realized in 2020. These increases are due to two factors: an industry wide
adjustment in coverage due to increased risk exposure in the state of Colorado, and more hail storm
damage realized at the City in prior years, most notably in 2018.
6. First Reading of Ordinance No. 147, 2020 Making Supplemental Appropriations for Roof Repairs on
City Buildings Due to 2018 Hail Damage.
The purpose of this item is to appropriate additional insurance proceeds for further scope of work
associated with completing roof repair work for a 2018 hail damage claim. These additional proceeds
are for recovered depreciation, abatement of asbestos materials, code upgrades and project
management.
City of Fort Collins Page 6
7. First Reading of Ordinance No. 148, 2020, Making Supplemental Appropriations of Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Funding for Transfort Operating Assistance, Preventative
Maintenance, and Contracted Service Costs Related to Preparation for and Response to the COVID-
19 Pandemic.
The purpose of this item is to appropriate unanticipated grant revenue Transfort has been allocated
by the Federal Transit Agency (FTA). Transfort was awarded $10,368,067 and will net the amount of
$8,719,626 in Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act through FTA
apportionments to urbanized areas. CARES funding is provided at a 100-percent federal share, with
no local match required, and is available to support capital, operating, and other expenses to prepare
for and respond to COVID-19. Transfort will use these funds for operating assistance, preventative
maintenance, and contracted service costs.
8. Items Relating to Various Amendments to City Code Chapter 26 Pertaining to Utility Services.
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 149, 2020, Amending Chapter 26 of the Code of the City of Fort

The purpose of this item is to adopt a variety of revisions, clarifications, and additions to update

9. First Reading of Ordinance No. 153, 2020, Adopting the 2021 Larimer County Regional Transportation
Capital Expansion Fee Schedule.

Natural Area as Road Right-of-Way.
The purpose of this item is to dedicate a strip of property owned by the Natural Areas Department
(NAD) as road right-of-way (ROW) via the proposed Arapaho Bend Ponds Subdivision plat, and to
authorize the City Manager to sign said plat. NAD is platting a 3.099-acre parcel for the construction
of a new trailhead parking lot. This project triggers the development review process and the
requirement to dedicate additional road right-of-way for Strauss Cabin Road.
11. Resolution 2020-106 Consenting to the Dissolution of Block 23 Metropolitan District Nos. 1-2.
The purpose of this item is to present a Resolution to Council to consent to the dissolution of the Block
23 Metropolitan Districts Nos. 1-2 (the “Districts”). On September 27, 2016, Council approved the
Service Plan for the Districts. At the time of adoption, the Service Plan was intended to enable the
Districts to function in a limited administrative capacity but not to issue any debt or begin full operations
until a service plan amendment was approved by Council. The Boards of Directors of the Districts have
recently adopted a joint resolution calling for the dissolution of the Districts and asking the Council to
consent to this dissolution. As allowed by state law, the Larimer County District Court can issue an
order dissolving the Districts provided the Council consents to the dissolution as proposed in this
Resolution.

12. Resolution 2020-107 Approving a Partial Deferral of Payment of Water Plant Investment Fees and
Sewer Plant Investment Fees Associated with the Larimer County Jail Expansion and Authorizing the
City Manager to Execute an Agreement Regarding the Same.
The purpose of this item is to request Council approval for Larimer County to defer the payment of a
portion of the water and sewer plant investment fees (PIFs) for the County’s jail expansion project.
The PIFs are due at the beginning of projects when a water service permit is issued. However,
pursuant to City Code Section 26-120(a) and City Code Section 26-283(d), Larimer County desires a
Council resolution for approval to pay a portion of the PIFs in 2020 and to pay the remaining balance
when the County grows into its full use of water at the expanded jail. This deferral would help Larimer
County manage project costs. Utilities staff negotiated a detailed draft agreement with Larimer County
regarding the payment of these PIFs that governs when they are due.
13. Resolution 2020-108 Approving an Exception to the Use of a Competitive Process for the Purchase
of Animal Control Services from the Larimer Humane Society for 2021.
The purpose of this item is to request an exception to the competitive bid process for the purchase of
services for a one-year term beginning January 1, 2021, from the Larimer Humane Society for the
operation and management of the animal shelter. Approval of this exception may be used as
authorized in City Code Section 8-161(d)(4) as the basis for the City Manager and the Purchasing
Agent to negotiate and agree to the additional purchase of animal control services from the Larimer
Humane Society through December 2025 without further Council approval.
Exception to Competitive Bidding Rationale: Code Section 8-161(d)(1)(a). There exists only one (1)
responsible source.
14. Resolution 2020-109 Adopting the 2020 Update to the Three-Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins.
The purpose of this item is to update the Three-Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins (“Plan”). The Plan
is a policy document for coordinating future annexation and provision of services required to be
updated annually per Colorado Revised Statutes, Section 31-12-105 which requires that cities
complete a plan within three miles in any direction from its municipal boundary. The Plan describes
the general location, character, utilities, and infrastructure for areas of potential annexation.
This State-required annual update is routine and recurring and highlights the changes to approved
plans and other documents applicable to those areas defined in the State Statues over the past year.
Note that the last standalone update was completed in 2018, as the recent adoption of updates to the
comprehensive plan (City Plan) fulfilled the annual update requirement in 2019.

the Fort Collins Municipal Court and Authorizing the Execution of Employment Agreements.
The purpose of this item is to appoint Kristin Brown and Leviy Johnson as Assistant Municipal Judges

and Compensation Setting Process for the City Manager, City Attorney and Chief Judge.

Pleasant Grove Manufactured Housing Community (MHC), one of six properties containing
manufactured housing communities proposed to be rezoned to the Manufactured Housing (M-H) zone
district to support manufactured housing preservation. This rezoning request has been initiated by the
City of Fort Collins.
The Pleasant Grove MHC is located at 517 East Trilby Road and the zoning is proposed to change
from the Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN) zone district to the Manufactured Housing (M-
H) zone district.
The rezoning request is subject to the criteria in Section 2.9.4 of the Land Use Code. The rezoning
may be approved, approved with conditions, or denied by Council after receiving a recommendation
from the Planning and Zoning Board, which voted 5-1 at their November 5, 2020 hearing to recommend
approval.

The purpose of this item is to consider an appeal of the September 16, 2020 Landmark Preservation
Commission’s determinations of landmark eligibility for 724 and 726 South College Avenue, which
found that both primary residential buildings meet the Fort Collins Municipal Code (“City Code”)
requirements for landmark designation based on architectural significance and historic physical
integrity. On September 30, 2020, a Notice of Appeal was filed alleging that the Landmark Preservation
Commission (LPC) failed to properly interpret and apply City Code Section 14-22 in rendering a final
decision.
