WHEREAS , among the home rule powers of the City is the power to regulate, as a matter
of purely local concern, the development of real property within the City; 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, and

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

funding mechanisms for financing the construction of public facilities in the City; and

refine related procedures and requirements ; 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 Denver-Boulder-Greeley Consumer
Price Index; and
WHEREAS , the City Code calls for the annual adjustment of all Capital Improvement
Expansion Fees, including the Neighborhood Parkland Fee, for inflation; and
WHEREAS , based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics most recent Denver-Boulder-Greeley
Consumer Price index for all urban consumers, staff anticipates that the Index will reflect an
inflation increase of 1 . 8 percent since the last annual adjustment of the fees in 2012, effective
January 1 , 2013 .
WHEREAS , the City has historically used the Engineering News Record as a reference to
determine whether the street oversizing capital improvement expansion fee should be increased to

improvements has increased 1 . 6 percent since the last adjustment of the Street Oversizing Capital
Improvement expansion fee; and
