34. Items Relating to the Midtown Urban Renewal Plan. (staff: Christina Vincent, Megan Bolin;10 minute
staff presentation; 30 minute discussion)
A. Resolution 2011-080 Adopting the Midtown Existing Conditions Survey and Making Findings
Determining an Area Within the City of Fort Collins to Be a Blighted Area and Appropriate for
Inclusion in an Urban Renewal Plan.
Resolution 2011-081 Making Findings and Approving the Urban Renewal Plan for the
Midtown Area and Establishing a Tax Increment Financing District for Prospect South.
Resolution 2011-080 will adopt the Midtown Existing Conditions Survey and determine the Midtown
area is blighted. Resolution 2011-081 will formally adopt the Midtown Urban Renewal Plan (URP) and
establish the area referred to as Prospect South as the first tax increment financing (TIF) district.
Staff has completed the necessary steps to bring forward the URP. On June 16, 2011, the Planning
and Zoning Board made a recommendation that the Midtown URP conforms to the policies and
principles of City Plan. Larimer County has reviewed the Midtown URP and the Impact Report for the
Prospect South TIF District with staff and resolution was reached about the concerns the County

35. Resolution 2011-082 Clarifying the Basis for the Setting of Development Review and Building Permit
Fees. (staff: Ann Turnquist, Steve Dush; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion)
At the June 14, 2011, Work Session, Council discussed a proposed change to the City's cost recovery
philosophy for Building Permit and Plan Check Fees and an increase to these fees. Council directed
staff to conduct outreach to affected boards and interests, and bring the issue back to Council for
formal consideration. This proposal is consistent with the City's practice of ensuring that new
development pays for the development related service costs. It represents a change of philosophy
to move from a goal of collecting 80% of the cost of the entire Development Review Center through
fees, toward recovering 100% of the cost of Fee -Related Services though Building Permit and Plan
Check Fees. This approach would result in an increase of 0.5% to 6.5% in Building Permit and Plan
Check fees, and yield an additional $714,098 in fee revenue to support the Development Review
Center. Fee increases would be implemented January 1, 2012.
