C. First Reading of Ordinance No. 108, 2002, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort
Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Poudre River 1 st
Annexation.
This is a request for a 100% voluntary annexation. The site is approximately 9.437 acres of
publicly owned property located northwest ofthe Nix Farm Natural Area including portions ofthe
Poudre River. The property is in the Kingfisher Natural Area. The recommended zoning is Public
Open Lands (POL).
26. Resolution 2002-069 Authorizing a One -Year Lease of City -Owned Property at 3620 Kechter
Road.
The City acquired this property as part of the Affordable Housing Land Bank Program (the "Land
Bank Program"). The property is composed of five acres of development land with a single family
dwelling. In accordance with the highest and best use, the City will likely eventually divide the
property into four -acres ofdevelopment land and a one acre residential property. In the meantime,
the City will lease the residence as a horse property with acreage.
The City has considered dividing the property and selling the one -acre residential property.
However, by leasing the residential portion of the property the City can retain a broader range of
options for development and use of the property for the future. One ofthe goals ofthe Land Bank
Program is to hold land.for a minimum of five years.
The property is vacant and in need of minor repairs and renovations. Staff will advertise for new
tenants. The proposed new lease would be effective for 12 months from the date of occupancy
and would allow for an additional one-year renewal, at the City's option.

The revisions have been through a public review process and have received the unanimous
recommendation for adoption from the Planning and Zoning Board and the Transportation Board.
The Affordable Housing Board was presented the information with the statement that the proposed
revisions would have little if any effect on housing costs. No comments were received.
23. First Reading of Ordinance No. 104, 2002, Amending Certain Sections of Chapter 2 of the Citv
Code Relating to Board and Commission Bylaws.
The Boards and Commissions Manual contains a section on "Quorums" which states:
"A quorum consists of the majority of the total number of members specified by the City Code to
comprise the board or commission. This quorum requirement does not change even if a position
on the board or commission is vacant and the City Council has not appointed a replacement."
It has come to staff's attention that some boards and commissions may have bylaws that are
inconsistent with .this provision. While the Code currently provides that bylaws cannot be
inconsistent with the City Charter and City Code, staff is recommending this Code amendment to
clarify that bylaws also cannot be inconsistent with any 1po icier adopted by the Council, such as
the one cited above.
