Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 153, 1998, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins by Changing the Zoning Classification for That Certain Property Known as the Worthington Farm Rezoning. On March 18, 1997, the City Council passed Ordinance No. 51, 1997, adopting a new Land Use Code, and Ordinance No. 52, 1997, adopting a new Zoning Map, which were designed to help implement the land use policies of City Plan, the update to the City's Comprehensive Plan. At the time of the adoption of the ordinances, approximately 27 rezoning issue areas had been identified where either the property -owner and/or the adjacent property -owners and residents did not agree with staff's recommendation for the zoning of an area or piece of property. Rather than delay the adoption of the new Land Use Code until all issues could be resolved, the issue areas were guaranteed a free rezoning process to be completed after adoption of the ordinances. The process would look again at the City Structure Plan and potential zoning designation. This property is one such issue area. This is a request to rezone approximately 5.648 acres located east of South Shields Street and south of West Swallow Road from the LMN, Low -Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood, Zoning District to the R-L, Low Density Residential, Zoning District.

Resolution 98-128 Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Board of the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund and an Intergovernmental Agreement with Ten Partner Entities for the Poudre- Big Thompson Rivers Legacy Grant Project. This Resolution allows the City to enter into agreements with GOCO and with the other ten partners of the Poudre-Big Thompson Rivers Legacy Project for implementation of the project, which was awarded a $3.4 million grant by GOCO in 1996. The amount of $1,315,000, representing Fort Collins' portion of the $3.4 grant, will be used to purchase natural areas and to provide access to Gateway Park in the lower Poudre Canyon. 20. Resolution 98-129 Approving the Purchase of Depository Services from the First National Bank of Fort Collins as an Exception to the Competitive Procurement Process Funds for the Depository Contract are in the recommended 1999 budget and will be requested in the 2000 budget process. First National Bank of Fort Collins, was selected as the City's Depository Bank by a Competitive proposal process in October of 1993. The contract was renewable annually through 1998. Based on resource and time required to complete a competitive process in 1998 and concerns of switching firms in the year 2000, the Finance Department is recommending extending the contract for two additional years. A competitive process for depository and other banking services will be completed and in place to start the year 2001. ***END CONSENT*** 21. Consent Calendar Follow-up.

Resolution 98-127 Setting Forth Findings of Fact and Determinations Regarding the Ruff Annexation and Zoning. B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 149, 1998, Annexing Property Known as the Ruff Annexation. C. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 150, 1998, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Ruff Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. This is a request to annex and zone 106.16 acres located on the west side of County Road 9, south of East Harmony Road, north of County Road 36, and east of Timberline Road. The property is currently functioning as a homestead and farmland. The requested zoning for this annexation is LMN - Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood. The surrounding properties are zoned RL - Low Density Residential (to the north), FA 1- Farming (to the east, in Larimer County), RL - Low Density Residential (to the west), and FA1 - Farming (to the south, in Larimer County). Staff is recommending that this property be included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. A map amendment would be necessary to place this property on the Residential Neighborhood Sign District Map. APPLICANT: Woodcraft Homes, Inc. c/o Cityscape Urban Design, Inc. 3555 Stanford Road, Suite 105 Fort Collins, CO 80525 Page 5 The Kane Property consists of three lots totaling approximately 14 acres. There are no structures on the site, which has several ponds, stands of trees and pasture area. The Stormwater Utility and the Natural Resources Department have discussed the possibility of incorporating the proposed channel into a natural area over the past several years, but negotiations with the property owner have not been successful. However, Natural Resources and Facilities/Right-of-Way staff have recently successfully negotiated a contract on the property. The Canal Importation Master Plan needs to be updated to determine the amount of stormwater flows to be conveyed across the site and if any detention is required. Stormwater Utility staff is currently estimating that approximately half of the Kane Property will be required for channel and detention improvements. The improvements will be designed to coexist with and enhance the habitat value of the property. Stormwater Utility staff has estimated the cost for its share of the property to be $150,000. Once the Kane Property is acquired, interim storm drainage improvements will facilitate the drainage of the property and the outfall for Fairbrooke Pond. These improvements include minor grading of the property, regrading of Longsworth Road and opening the previously constructed siphons under the New Mercer Ditch to allow the area to drain into the Canal Importation Channel. These improvements will be designed to merge with the ultimate drainage improvements to the site. The estimated cost of these improvements is $30,000. 13. First Reading of Ordinance No. 147, 1998, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the Neighborhood Parkland Fund to be Used for New Park Site Development. Neighborhood park development is driven by, and funded by, residential development. Because residential development is proceeding at a rapid pace, there are presently four neighborhood parks under construction (English Ranch Park near Linton School, Westfield Park near Johnson School, Ridgeview Park near McGraw School, and Miramont Park on South Boardwalk). Two additional parks are planned for development in 1999 (Case Park near Fort Collins High and Cottonwood Park near the Quail Hollow subdivision). The rapid growth of residential development has produced $400,000 in impact fee revenue over budget estimates. This money is needed to construct these neighborhood parks. The appropriation of prior year reserves from 1997 revenue into the new park development account will ensure that parks presently under development and future scheduled and proposed parks are adequately funded. Page 4 Ordinance No. 143, 1998, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 18, 1998, appropriates $11,578,449 in the Capital Projects Fund, Office Building, to design and construct a City office building.
