1. Resolution 2021-036 Making Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law Regarding the Appeal of the
Hearing Officer Decision Approving the 738 Campfire Drive Extra Occupancy Rental House #FDP
200018. (staff: Will Lindsey, Paul Sizemore; no presentation; 5 minute discusion)
The purpose of this item is to make Findings of Fact and Conclusions regarding the Appeal of the
Hearing Officer decision to approve the 738 Campfire Drive Extra Occupancy Rental House combined
Project/Final Development Plan. The appeal was heard by Council on March 16, 2021.
2. Resolution 2020-030 Approving an Agreement to Secure Public Benefits for Mulberry Development
as Provided in Service Plan for Mulberry Metropolitan District Nos. 1 through 6. (staff: Clay Frickey;
5 minute presentation; 45 minute presentation)
This item has been amended to add the highlighted paragraphs.
The purpose of this item is to consider a Resolution adopting the Agreement to Secure Public Benefits
for the Mulberry Development (Public Benefits Agreement). The Public Benefits Agreement is
contemplated in the Consolidated Service Plan for Mulberry Metropolitan Districts Nos. 1-6, approved
by City Council on April 16, 2019 (Service Plan). Staff has completed its review of the Public Benefits
Agreement to ensure it conforms to the Service Plan.
The public benefits structure of this public benefits agreement tracks very closely with the changes
made to the last public benefits agreement the Council approved.
However, some customization was needed to address the particular circumstances of the Mulberry
project and where it is in the land use process. To address these issues, new language was added
to make clearer what the developer’s obligations are and the City discretion in the timing for requiring
the particular public benefits that are tied to the development review process. These changes are an
improvement to the public benefits agreement that ensures the City gets the public benefits promised
as the project proceeds in phases.

3. First Reading of Ordinance No. 050, 2021, Amending Chapter 22 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins
to Add a New Article V. Concerning the Establishment of Tourism Improvement Districts. (staff: Clay
Frickey; 5 minute presentation; 30 minute presentation)
The purpose of this item is to consider adoption of an ordinance outlining the requirements for
establishing a Tourism Improvement District (TID). Visit Fort Collins (VFC) began exploring a TID
based on engagement for the Tourism and Destination Master Plan. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
hoteliers are looking for additional revenue streams. Lodging tax collections are down 47.6% through
December 2020. A TID would allow hotels to levy an assessment or fee on all hotels that would allow
the TID to undertake activities that would help increase demand for overnight visitation.
VFC contemplates a TID that would levy an assessment or fee on hotel businesses rather than the
underlying property owner. This necessitates a local ordinance outlining the process for forming a TID,
the powers of a TID, and TID governance, amongst others. If adopted by Council, VFC contemplates
starting the formation process of a TID beginning in April with Council considering the TID in July.
OTHER BUSINESS
A. Possible consideration of the initiation of new ordinances and/or resolutions by Councilmembers.
(Three or more individual Councilmembers may direct the City Manager and City Attorney to initiate
and move forward with development and preparation of resolutions and ordinances not originating
from the Council's Policy Agenda or initiated by staff.)
