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 library,community park,police,

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

funding mechanisms for financing the construction of public facilities in the City; and
WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 051, 1996,

improvement expansion fees corresponding to the increases in the Denver-Boulder-Greeley
Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers; and
WHEREAS, in September 1968, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 038, 1968, which

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 3.8 percent since the last annual adjustment of the fees in.2011, effective
January 1, 2012; and
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
account for rising construction costs; and
WHEREAS, based on the Engineering News Record, the cost of constructing street
improvements has increased 7.55 percent since the last adjustment of the Street Oversizing Capital
Improvement Expansion fee; and
