Collins by Changing the Zoning Classification for that Certain Property Known as the
Timberline Lane Rezoning From UE (Urban Estate) to HC (Harmony Corridor).
The parcel consists of approximately .75± acres located south and adjacent to Timberline
Lane, and west and adjacent to Timberline Road. The site contains one mobile home with
a detached garage.
Staff has recommended approval on the basis that the request generally complies with the
comprehensive plan (City Plan); the City Structure Plan, an element of the City's
comprehensive plan; and, the Harmony Corridor Plan. Consistency with the comprehensive
plan is legally sufficient for approval of the request; however, the Planning and Zoning Board
found that the request does not satisfactorily address all of the additional considerations
contained in Section 2.9.4(H)(3) of the Land Use Code. The Board determined that the
request is not warranted by changed conditions within the neighborhood surrounding and
including the subject property, and the proposed zone change is not compatible with existing
and proposed land uses.
On May 1, this item was postponed to this date and time at the request of the petitioner, J.D.
Padilla.

be "in the public interest" and has been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission. The Company's offer is consistent with those made to adjacent landowners.
An environmental assessment has been done for the proposed route. Ordinance No. 57,
2001, was adopted 6-1 on First Reading on April 17, 2001.
After the First Reading of the Ordinance some concerns with the environmental assessment
review process were brought to the Utilities attention. In response to those concerns, a few
changes to the process were made. The assessment has been reviewed jointly by Utilities and
Natural Resources staff. Staff believes the assessment was well done, but that some further
clarity was needed on a few wildlife and re -vegetation issues. Wyoming Interstate Gas
Company's (WIC) response indicates that the two species the City staff believed needed
more discussion were not discussed because they are not present on City property along its
proposed route. The WIC will be discussing seed mixes for re -vegetation with the City as
part of the project and it is required to monitor the route for five years by the FERC project
protocol. When the five-year period is over, certification that the re -vegetation has
satisfactorily taken is required. As a result of the review process, a certified member of staff
will be inspecting all stream crossings during and after construction to be sure they are
satisfactory. A copy of the staff opinion and a copy of Wyoming Interstate Gas Company's
response to the concerns raised have been included with this item.
26. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 58, 2001, Authorizing the Conveyance of an Easement
to the Platte River Power Authority for Construction of a 24-inch Gas Pipeline.
Platte River Power Authority proposes to build a new gas pipeline from Rockport, Wyoming
to the Rawhide Energy Station to provide fuel for three new gas fired combustion turbines
at the station. A portion of this proposed pipeline crosses City -owned Meadow Springs
Ranch. The proposed easement will encompass approximately 54 acres. Platte River's offer
is consistent with those made to adjacent landowners. An environmental assessment has been
done for the proposed route. This Ordinance was adopted by a vote of 6-1, on First Reading
on April 17, 2001.
After the First Reading of the Ordinance some concerns with the environmental assessment
review process were brought to the Utilities' attention. In response to those concerns, a few
changes to the process were made. The assessment has been reviewed jointly by Utilities and
Natural Resources staff. In general, staff believes the assessment was very well done, but
lacked detail in areas such as stream crossing specifications and re -vegetation issues. As a
result of the review process a certified member of staff will be inspecting all stream crossings
during and after construction to be sure they are satisfactory. A private native seed contractor
has contacted the City on behalf of PRPA and will be meeting with staff to discuss seed
mixes and reclamation plans. A copy of the staff opinion and a copy of PRPA's response
to the concerns raised have been included with this item.
