OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AUTHORIZING A PATIO LEASE AND CONVEYANCE OF AN ACCESS
EASEMENT ON CITY PROPERTY TO 201 S COLLEGE, LLC
WHEREAS, in the mid 1970s a portion of Oak Street directly west of College Avenue
was closed to vehicular traffic and converted into a pedestrian plaza (the "Plaza"); and
WHEREAS, in 2006, the City entered into an agreement with the property owners
adjacent to the Plaza; and
WHEREAS, under the agreement, the adjacent owners agreed that if the City vacated the
right-of-way underlying the Plaza, the owners would convey the vacated right-of-way back to
the City, so that the City would own the fee simple title to the Plaza and could manage it as an
urban park instead of as right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, in 2006 the City Council passed ordinance,No. 134, 2006, vacating that
portion of Oak Street; and
WHEREAS, the adjacent property owners, the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary
Art ("MCA") on the south and the Nojoumi family on the north, then conveyed the vacated
right-of-way back to the City; and
WHEREAS, in a separate transaction, MCA also conveyed to the City a strip of land
between the north wall of MCA's building at 201 South College (the "Old Post Office") and the
former right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the property now owned by the City and known as Oak Street Plaza Park is
described on Exhibit "A", attached and incorporated herein by this reference (the "City
Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Old Post Office has since been sold and converted into three
condominium units; and
WHEREAS, 201 S College, LLC, (the "Owner") is the owner of the lower unit of the Old
Post Office, described as Unit 100, Old Post Office Condos (the "Owner's Property"), located
adjacent to the City Property; and
WHEREAS, the Owner's Property is accessible through two doors in the lower level of
the Old Post Office, one near the northwest corner of the building, and the other at the northeast
corner of the building; and
WHEREAS, the Owner has requested a patio lease (the "Lease") on the City Property, in
the area outside of the northwest door, for the benefit of a future restaurant tenant; and
WHEREAS, the area the Owner wishes to lease consists of 797 square feet, as described
on Exhibit `B", attached and incorporated herein by reference (the "Lease Area"); and
WHEREAS, the proposed Lease Area will consist of a fenced and gated patio area that
would be used for dining, landscaping and art display purposes; and
WHEREAS, the Owner would pay the City $3,300.00 per year as rent for the Lease Area
and a one-time fee of$1,000 for staff processing time; and
WHEREAS, the lease term would be for a period of ten years with an option to renew for
two additional 5-year terms; and
WHEREAS, the lease would be terminable by the City if the City observes or receives
complaints about noise or nuisance problems in the Lease Area that the Owner does not
satisfactorily control, or if the Owner's Property is rented for some purpose other than a
restaurant; and
WHEREAS, the Owner has also requested an access easement over the City Property to
provide legal access from the public rights-of-way across the City Property to the entrances to
the Owner's Property; and
WHEREAS, the Access Easement will cover the entire City Property, as it is not
reasonable to expect the Owner and the Owner's tenants and invitees to follow a particular path
across the City Property to reach the Owner's Property; and
WHEREAS, City staff is recommending that the Owner not be charged for the
conveyance of the Access Easement, as it was not the City's intent to eliminate the legal access
to the Owner's Property when MCA conveyed its portion of the City Property to the City in
2006, and it would have been appropriate for MCA to reserve an access easement from that
conveyance; and
WHEREAS, the Access Easement will not create any impact on the City Property that is
different from or greater than the current use by the general public; and
WHEREAS, Section 23-111(a) of the City Code provides that the City Council is
authorized to sell, convey, or otherwise dispose of any and all interests in real property owned in
the name of the City, provided that the City Council first finds, by ordinance, that such sale or
other disposition is in the best interests of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS as follows:
Section 1. That the leasing of the Lease Area and the conveyance of the Access
Easement on the City Property to 201 S College, LLC, as provided herein are in the best interests
of the City, as the City will receive revenue from the lease of the Lease Area.
-2-
Section 2. That the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute a negotiated lease
agreement for the Lease Area and such documents as are necessary to convey the Access
Easement to 201 S College, LLC, on terms and conditions consistent with this Ordinance,
together with such additional terms and conditions as the City Manager, in consultation with the
City Attorney, determines are necessary or appropriate to protect the interests of the City,
including, but not limited to, any necessary changes to the legal descriptions of the Lease Area
or the Access Easement, as long as such changes do not materially increase the size or change
the character of the Lease Area or Access Easement.
Introduced, considered favorably on first reading, and ordered published this 3rd day of
September, A.D. 2013, and to be presented for final passage on the 17th day of September, A.D.
2013.
