ITEMS NEEDING INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION
31. First Reading of Ordinance No. 154 2001 Amending the Zoning of the City of Fort Collins
by Changing the Zoning Classification for That Certain Property Known as the 450 North
College Avenue Rezoning_
The parcel consists of approximately 6.9 acres located east of College Avenue and south of
the Poudre River. The City -owned site contains th er Light and Power plant that is
occupied by the CSU Engines and Energy Conyekl*atory.
Staff has recommended adoption on t i he request generally complies with the
Comprehensive Plan (City Pl i Structure Plan, an element of the City's
Comprehensive Plan; Do owntown River Corridor Land Use Policy Plan; and
the Downtown River in lementation Plan. The Planning and Zoning Board
disagreed with sta elative to the comprehensive plan, and those referenced City
Plan elements or rel d ocuments, finding that the rezoning does not ensure preservation
of the historic elements present on the site. Further, the Board determined that the request
is not warranted by changed conditions within the neighborhood surrounding and including
the subject property.
32. Second Reading of Ordinance No 149 2001 Authorizing the Conveyance ofNon exclusive
Easement Interests for the Construction of a Thirty-six Inch Water Line by the Fort Collins
Loveland Water District on a Portion of the Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area
On August 21; 2001, Council denied Fort Collins -Loveland Water District's (the "District")
request for easements to construct a 36" waterline. The District proposed to construct the
waterline across Cathy Fromme Prairie, east of Taft Hill Road, between Harmony Road and
Trilby Road. Since then staff has worked with the District to move the waterline closer to
Taft Hill Road into an area that will be disturbed in the future when the road is widened. The
original proposal had the waterline located 175' east of the centerline of Taft Hill Road for
the entire 2-mile length. The revised proposal locates the waterline 160' east of centerline
for the first 1 1/4 miles and then 80' east of centerline for the last 3/4 mile. The proposed
alignment will lessen the impact to Cathy Fromme Prairie, meet the needs of the District and
allow for the future reconstruction of Taft Hill Road. This easement has been placed in a
location that basically will be disturbed when the roadway is reconstructed, thus minimizing
the impact on the natural area.
