This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012 amends the Land Use Code (LUC) to require larger multi -family housing developments (50 dwelling units, or 75 bedrooms) to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board (Type 2). A Type 2 review requires that the developer hold a pre -submittal neighborhood meeting. The benefit to the neighborhood meeting is that the public is given an opportunity to provide input on a project while it is still in the early stages of development. In recent months a large amount of multi -family housing developments have been appealed by concerned citizens to Council based on the assertion that the projects are not compatible with adjacent neighborhoods. This procedural change seeks to provide more opportunity for the public to participate in the development review process for multi -family housing projects. 19.

Second Reading of Ordinance No. 126, 2012 Authorizinq the Conveyance of City -owned Property Known as the Maxwell Farm and Related Water Rights Subject to a Conservation Easement and Authorizing a Related Raw Water Transfer Agreement. The Natural Areas Department (NAD) purchased the 137-acre Maxwell Farm, along with 12 shares of North Poudre Irrigation Company (NPIC) water, with the intent of placing it under a conservation easement to help conserve a buffer between Fort Collins and Wellington; protect the open space and scenic values adjacent to 1-25; and, sell it as an agricultural property with limited development rights. The land has been leased to Larry Maxwell, the previous owner, for farming and livestock feeding since the initial purchase in 2009. Natural Areas and Utilities have worked out an agreement for the NAD to sell eleven of the twelve NPIC shares to Utilities for approximately 50% of the estimated market value, which is $14,000 per share (based on recent sales information from NPIC). In exchange, Utilities will enter into a raw water transfer agreement with the buyer of Maxwell Farm, and per the terms of the agreement, Utilities will transfer the equivalent of eleven shares of NPIC water on an annual basis to the Maxwell Farm in perpetuity. The advantage to Utilities is that water decreed solely for agricultural use derived from other Utilities -owned NPIC shares, can be substituted for water decreed for municipal use derived from the eleven NPIC shares, which Utilities can use. The buyer will purchase the remaining share of NPIC water as it is a NPIC policy that a farm must own at least some NPIC water in order to receive any rented or transferred water. The single NPIC share to be owned by the buyer will also be tied to the land by the conservation easement agreement. This Ordinance was unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012. 15.

The land is currently leased to Alison Person, a neighboring landowner, for grazing. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012, authorizes the conveyance of the 105- acre Vangbo property and associated ditch and water rights with a reserved conservation easement to Alison Person for $300,000. The conservation easement does not allow any future development, but does give the landowner the option to request the purchase of one building envelope on the property from a future City Council. The undeveloped portion would remain in agricultural use. Page 3 6. Consideration and Approval of the Minutes of the October 30 2012 Adjourned Meeting and the. November 6, 2012 Regular Meeting.
