HomeMy WebLinkAbout1040 EAST ELIZABETH STREET REZONING - 46-01 - AGENDA - SECOND READINGPAGE 3 requesting additional land for the trail. This contact and result would be made prior to the May 21 Council meeting. 9. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 061, 2002, Authorizing the Purchasing Agent to Enter into an Agreement for the Financing by Lease -Purchase of Vehicles and F4uipment. This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 16, 2002, authorizes the Purchasing Agent to enter into a lease -purchase financing agreement with Koch Financial Corporation at 5.05% interest rate. Ordinance No. 061, 2002, has been amended on Second Reading to correct the funds in which the lease -purchase money is being appropriated and the amount of the expenditure in each fund. 10. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 062, 2002, Amending Chapter 23, Article X ofthe Ci1y Code Regarding Parks. Trails and Recreation Areas. The current Code provisions pertaining to recreation areas are specifically applicable to City parks and recreationareas located inside the City limits. Incorporating the Traffic Code by reference into the recreation areas provisions of the Code will make the Traffic Code applicable to parks and recreation areas outside of the City limits in the same way that other provisions of the Code, including those dealing with animal control, fire prevention and miscellaneous offenses, are already incorporated in the recreation area provisions. As a result, special officers, commissioned by the City of Fort Collins Police Department, will be able to ticket individual vehicles whose drivers fail to purchase day use parking passes as required, using the existing parking provisions ofthe Traffic Code. Currently the City Traffic Code is not specifically enforceable outside of the City limits. Chapter 23 of the Code also contains a typographical error that will be corrected by this ordinance. This Ordinance was unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 16, 2002. 11. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 063, 2002, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins by Changing the Zoning Classification for that Certain Property Known as the 1040 East Elizabeth Rezoning. In the mid-1980's the CityCouncil adopted the East Side Neighborhood Planas an element ofthe City's Comprehensive Plan. In September 1991, the City Council rezoned the subject property from the R-H, High Density Residential, District to the N-C-B, Neighborhood Conservation Buffer, District as part ofthe land use implementation actions forthe East Side Neighborhood Plan. In March of 1997, the CityCouncil approved a comprehensive rezoning of areas in the cityas part of the implementation actions for City Plan. When the City Plan rezonings were done the subject property was mistakenly rezoned from the N-C-B to the N-C-L, Neighborhood Conservation Low Density, District. Ordinance No. 063, 2002, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 16, 2002, corrects the mistake made by the City in March 1997, returning the property to the N-C-B zone to be consistent with the East Side Neighborhood Plan.

Postponement of Second Reading of Ordinance No. 045. 2002, Authorizing a Grant Agreement with Colorado State Parks and Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the Conservation Trust Fund Trail Acquisition and Development Project to May 21, 2002. The Parks and Recreation Policy Plan (adopted by City Council in 1996) identifies trails that link Fort Collins to surrounding communities, including Laporte. The Laporte Area Planning Commission supports the trail connection. Residents of the Laporte area have expressed support for the trail as a needed recreation facility and as a pedestrian/bike friendly route to access Fort Collins. Existing roads in the area have very limited shoulders and create safety concerns for pedestrian or bicycle use. The Poudre Trail presently ends at Taft Hill Road. The Laporte Trail connection will start on the west side of Taft Hill Road where the trail will follow the abandoned rail line north and west for about 3/4 of mile. At this point, the trail will enter the Hyde Natural Area. The trail right-of-way along the rail line will be nearly 100-feet in width and will allow for the trail to meander and provides room for landscaping. The Natural Resource Advisory Board will discuss possible trail alignments at its May 1, 2002 meeting. Ordinance No. 045, 2002, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 19, 2002, is being postponed to May 21, 2002, allowing time for the Natural Resources Board to make a formal recommendation to Council.
