9. First Reading of Ordinance No. 171, 2013, Amendinq Article III of Chapter 26 of the City Code to
Eliminate Water Rights Banking by the City's Water Utility.
The purpose of this item is to discontinue the practice of water right banking. In order to meet the
water needs of new development or redevelopment within the Water Utility service area, developers
are assessed a Raw Water Requirement (RWR). Current City Code allows water rights to be
submitted to the Water Utility even when no water service permit is needed in exchange for credit
that can be used for later satisfaction of the RWR. Although this banking practice was helpful in the
past, it is less helpful now and makes managing these water rights difficult. The proposed City
Code changes would discontinue the practice of banking water right credits, but continue to allow
the practice of conveying acceptable water rights for developments at the time a RWR is assessed.
10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 172, 2013, Amending Various Provisions of the Fort Collins Traffic

the Traffic Code more consistent and provide more effective and efficient local enforcement.

Ordinance No. 098, 1973 ("1973 Ordinance").The proposed ordinance vacates the remaining right-
of-way that was intended to be vacated, and reserves an easement for utilities as originally
intended in the 1973 Ordinance, whose legal description did not properly describe the intended
area of right-of-way vacation for College Avenue.
12. First Reading of Ordinance No. 174, 2013, Vacating Foothills Parkway Right -of -Way Between
College Avenue and Mathews Street. and Vacating a Portion of Mathews Street.
13.
The proposed Ordinance vacates the right-of-way for the remaining public street portion of Foothills
Parkway from College Avenue to Mathews Street, along with a portion of the west side of Mathews
Street intersecting Foothills Parkway. This would make Foothills Parkway a private drive from
College Avenue to Stanford Road (as the portion of Foothills Parkway from Mathews Street to
Stanford Road was previously vacated in 1988). Easements for access, emergency access,
drainage, utilities, and transit will be retained in order to allow these uses within the vacated right-
of-way in conjunction with the redevelopment of the Foothills Mall.
The purpose of this item is to accommodate the realignment of the Larimer No. 2 Ditch, which
allows the ditch to be relocated off the Mall property. The planned re -alignment will locate the ditch
beneath the frontage road, across College Avenue opposite the mall and will require the
conveyance of a permanent drainage easement to the Larimer Canal No. 2 Irrigating Company (the
"Ditch Company').
