A. Resolution 2001-73 Setting Forth Findings of Fact and Determinations Regarding the
Arbor South Annexation.
B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 100, 2001, Annexing Property Known
as the Arbor South Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado.
C. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 101, 2001, Amending the Zoning Map
ofthe City of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included
in the Arbor South Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado.
This is a 100% voluntary annexation and zoning of a property approximately 11.26 acres in
size. The site is located on the west side of South College Avenue, east of the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railroad tracks, approximately one-half mile south of Harmony Road.
The property is former Fossil Creek Nursery and is presently vacant.
The proposed zoning is C, Commercial. This will match the existing zoning on the north,
east and south sides of the property. Contiguity with the existing municipal boundary is
gained along the north, east and south sides of the property as well.
15. Items Relating to Amendments to the Various Agreements for the Civic Center Facilities.
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 102, 2001, Approving Amendments to the Leasehold
Deed of Trust, Site Agreement, Lease Agreement, and Parking Structure License
Agreement for the 1998 Lease Certificates of Participation for the Civic Center
Facilities Project.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 103, 2001, Authorizing the City Manager to, from
Time to Time, Amend the Long -Term Lease of Real Property Adjacent to the Civic
Center Parking Structure to Phelps Program Management, LLC, for the Development
of Commercial Space and Related Easements.
In 1998, Council approved Lease Certificates of Participation ("COPS") in the amount of
$17,210,000 for the Civic Center Facilities Project. This Project includes the Civic Center
Parking Structure and the new City Office Building at 215 North Mason Street. In
coordination with the issuance of the COPs and the construction ofthe Parking Structure, the
first level along the western side of the Parking Structure was leased to Phelps Program
Management ("PPM"), an affiliate of Hensel Phelps, for private use as restaurant, retail and
other related purposes to enhance the attractiveness of the downtown area. As a result of the
completion of the planning and construction of the Project, staff has been better able to
define and anticipate certain issues that are addressed in the various agreements. As a result,
staff has prepared and worked with other involved parties to develop amendments to the
several agreements that were part of the COPs arrangement and the commercial ground lease

authorizes the sale of the City's ownership interests in the properties, which is legally two
separate parcels represented by two separate sales agreements.
12. First Reading of Ordinance No. 98, 2001, Amending Section 24-95(c) of the City Code to
Include Right -of -Way Acquisition as a Reimbursable Cost of the City When Constructing
Streets.
Currently when the City designs and constructs a street through undeveloped areas, the City
can be reimbursed for the design and construction costs at the time the undeveloped areas are
developed and the developer takes access from that street. Under this proposed amendment
to the City Code, when the City has to acquire land or right-of-way for the construction of
the street, the costs for the acquisition would be recoverable by the City from the developer,
at the time the land is developed and the developer takes access from the street.
This recommended change to the City Code would match a similar change to the Land Use
Code, Section 3.3.2(F)(2), that is being proposed under separate cover as part of the Spring
2001 revisions to the Land Use Code.
13. First Reading of Ordinance No. 99, 2001, Amending Chapter 23.5 of the City Code
Pertaining to Special Events and Demonstrations.
This Ordinance would amend Chapter 23.5 of the City Code (Special Events), to include a
new defined category of event, referred to as a "demonstration". This term is used to clarify
provisions in Chapter 23.5 that previously referenced "events for the purpose of exercising
free speech." The Ordinance modifies current Code language to clarify that in all instances
the permit holder shall be required to reimburse the City for any costs incurred repairing
damage caused by the permit holder or its agents. New provisions have been added
allowing: (1) the denial of a permit for an event that would violate an ordinance or statute;
(2) revocation of a permit if conditions change so that the permit application would have
been denied; and (3) revocation of a permit if continuation of an event presents a clear and
present danger to participants or the public. The Ordinance also adds standards for
determining when and how much insurance will be required, and makes the knowing
violation of a permit a Code violation, in contrast to the present "willful" standard. The
Ordinance includes other clarifying language consistent with these described changes, as well
as general editing of existing provisions.
The proposed changes are the result of a review of the 14-year-old Special Events provisions,
based on fairness and constitutional issues that have been identified through the experience
of other jurisdictions.
