OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AMENDING THE CODE OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS TO INCREASE
THE AMOUNTS OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT EXPANSION FEES
CONTAINED IN CHAPTER 7.5 OF THE CITY CODE SO AS TO REFLECT
INFLATION IN ASSOCIATED COSTS OF SERVICES
WHEREAS, the City is a home rule municipality having the full right of self-government
in local and municipal matters under the provisions of Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado
Constitution; and
WHEREAS, among the home rule powers and authority is the power to regulate, as a
matter of purely local concern, the development of real property within the City and the authority
to fund and construct, as matters of purely local concern, public improvements; and
WHEREAS, the City's comprehensive plan shows that the rate of future growth and
development in Fort Collins will require a substantial expansion in community park, police, fire,
general government facilities and streets, and related capital equipment, if its level of service
standards for such facilities are to be maintained; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that new development should contribute its
proportionate share of providing such capital improvements; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has broad legislative discretion in determining the
appropriate funding mechanisms for financing the construction of public facilities in the City;
and
WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the City Council has previously enacted Article II of
City Code Chapter 7.5 adopting the Community Parkland, Police, Fire Protection, General
Government and Street Oversizing Capital Improvement Expansion Fees (collectively, the
Capital Improvement Expansion Fees"); and
WHEREAS, City Code Section 7.5-18 provides for annual adjustment in all Capital
Improvement Expansion Fees for inflation, corresponding to the increases reflected in the
Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers, now known as the Denver-
Boulder-Greeley Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (the "CPI"); and
WHEREAS, in September 1968, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 038, 1968,
which established the original Neighborhood Parkland Fee to fund the acquisition and
development of parkland, which ordinance has since been amended on several occasions to
adjust the fee and to refine related procedures and requirements, including the codification of the
provisions related to the Neighborhood Parkland Fee in Article V of City Code Chapter 7.5; and
WHEREAS, with the adoption in August 1993 of Ordinance No. 082, 1993, the City
Council directed the City Manager to annually review the Neighborhood Parkland Fee and
submit to the Council proposed inflation-related increases based on the CPI; and
1-
WHEREAS, based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' most recent CPI, staff anticipates
the CPI will reflect an inflation increase of 3.0 percent since the last annual adjustment, effective
January 1, 2017; and
WHEREAS, the City has historically used the Engineering News Record ('`ENR"),
instead of the CPI, as a reference to determine whether the Street Oversizing Capital
Improvement Expansion Fee should be increased to account for rising construction costs; and
WHEREAS, based on the ENR, the cost of constructing street improvements has changed
1.3% since the last adjustment of the Street Oversizing Capital Improvement Expansion Fee; and
WHEREAS, for the foregoing reasons, the City Council has determined that it is
necessary in the interests of the protection of the public health, safety and welfare, that the
Capital Improvement Expansion Fees and the Neighborhood Parkland Fee be increased to reflect
inflation as determined by the CPI, but not including the Street Oversizing Capital Improvement
Expansion Fee, which shall be increased to reflect inflation as determined by the ENR.
