13. First Reading of Ordinance No. 056, 2005, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort
Collins by Changing the Zoning Classification for that Certain Property Known as the
Schrader Rezoning.
This is a request to rezone a parcel owned by Schrader Oil Company and the abutting
Burlington Northern Santa Fe right-of-way, presently zoned T (Transition), to RDR (River
Downtown Redevelopment). The subject site consists of 5 f acres located south of Willow
Street and east of College Avenue.
14. First Reading of Ordinance No. 057, 2005, Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent Domain
Proceedings of Certain Lands Necessary for the Construction of Public Improvements in
Connection with the Dry Creek Drainage Improvements Project - East Vine Diversion
Channel.
The design portion of the Dry Creek Drainage Improvements Project ("Project") began in
2003. The construction of the Project began in April 2005 with completion scheduled for
2006. The total project involves a combination of sub -projects in the upper, middle and
lower basins of Dry Creek with the goal of reducing the likelihood of flooding in Fort Collins
and Larimer County.
The approval of this ordinance does not automatically result in the filing of a petition in
eminent domain; it simply allows staff to use the process if good faith negotiations fail to
result in an agreement between the City and affected property owners. Staff is hopeful that
all acquisitions will be accomplished by agreement.
15. First Reading of Ordinance No. 058, 2005, Authorizing an Easement for a Pedestrian Bridge
for Opera Gardens Lofts.
The development of Opera Garden Lofts was approved as a minor amendment to the Opera
Galleria, contingent upon the developer being able to provide off-street parking to the users
of the new mixed -use building and also contingent upon negotiating permission from the
City for a bridge between the Opera Galleria and the Civic Center Parking Structure
("CCPS"). The developer cannot commence construction until this easement is granted. The
developer has indicated that this bridge is important to make the Opera Garden Lofts project
more attractive to lenders and potential purchasers of units.
The Opera Gardens Lofts project will add two floors to the Opera Galleria. The easement
request is to construct an above -grade pedestrian bridge from the 4th floor of the CCPS to
one of the new floors of the Opera Galleria. This pedestrian bridge will not replace the
existing bridge, which is a public bridge. The new bridge will be a private bridge to be used
by users of the mixed -use structure.
16. Resolution 2005-050 Authorizing a Revocable Permit to Coburn Development, Inc., for a
Period of Up to Two Years on Property Owned by the City for the Purpose of Access and
Performing Due Diligence Activities.

plans. The property included in this RFP was 75% of the block, excluding the Car Barn and

payments to the City. The City may spend the PILOT revenues as it deems appropriate in

that such remittal serves a valid public purpose. The Council has remitted the PILOT
