26. Resolution 97-134 Authorizing Assignment to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority
of a Private Activity Bond Allocation of the City of Fort Collins Pursuant to the Colorado
Private Activity Bond Ceiling Act.
The Colorado Housing Finance Authority is planning a fall 1997 single family mortgage
bond program. The program will provide financing for below market mortgages for families
that meet low and moderate income guidelines. CHFA has offered the city of Fort Collins
an opportunity to participate in the program. CHFA is asking that the City assign its 1998
private activity bond allocation to CHFA. The estimated amount of the 1998 allocation is
$2.6 million. This would provide about 40 mortgages. Due to the displacement of
households from the flood, CHFA has offered to match the City's allocation with an
additional $2.6 of its allocation. In essence the City will be doubling the size of its allocation
by working with CHFA. The Affordable Housing Board met on October 2nd to review the
program and its recommendation is in the read before the meeting file. The CHFA bond issue
will be about $43 million, of which $5 million will be for mortgages in the Fort Collins area.
Mortgage money should become available in November, 1997.
27. Resolution 97-135 Making An Appointment to the Air Quality Advisory Board.
A vacancy currently exists on the Air Quality Advisory Board due to the resignation of Don
Keller. Councilmembers Mason and Smith reviewed the applications on file and are
recommending Mandar Sunthankar to serve on the Air Quality Advisory Board with a term
to begin immediately and to expire June 30, 2001.
28. Routine Deeds and Easements.
A. Deed of Easement from Garnet M. Gordon for access and maintenance of Hyde
Natural Area. Monetary consideration: $10.
B. Deed of Easement from Barbara R. Gibbs for access and maintenance of Hyde
Natural Area. Monetary consideration: $1100.
C. On the August 5, 1997 City Council Agenda, the City Council accepted a public
utility easement from William R. and Sharyl D. Haas. The 4,350 square foot
easement was obtained for a consideration of $3,262.50. The easement was required
for the installation of a three phase electric tie to increase the service reliability in the
southwest portion of the City. The Haas' property is outside the city limits, not
served by Fort Collins Light and Power, and did not directly benefit from the
installation of the electric line.

23. First Reading of Ordinance No. 153, 1997, Amending Section 2.8.4(B) of the Land Use
Code.
Section 2.8.4(B) of the Land Use Code requires the holding of a neighborhood meeting with
respect to all "quasi-judicial" rezonings. A quasi-judicial rezoning is defined as any rezoning
of 640 acres or less in size. Many quasi-judicial rezonings will not be controversial and it
is staff s recommendation that the requirement of a neighborhood meeting be amended to
state that the Director may convene a neighborhood meeting in those circumstances where
there is known controversy or where the quasi-judicial rezoning presents significant
neighborhood impacts. This way, the Director can determine whether to hold a
neighborhood meeting or not.
24. Resolution 97-131 Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation Proceedings
for the REA Annexation.
The applicant, Cityscape Urban Design, on behalf of the property owner, Spradley Barr, has
submitted a written petition requesting annexation of 9.39 acres located south of Harmony
Road and west of South College Avenue. The property contains an existing large building
(previously the Poudre Valley REA headquarters and facilities) which is currently vacant.
The requested zoning for this annexation is C - Commercial. The surrounding properties are
zoned C - Commercial (to the north), C - Commercial (to the east) in the City and FA1 -
Farming (to the west), T - Tourist (to the south) in Larimer County.
The proposed Resolution makes a finding that the petition substantially complies with the
Municipal Annexation Act, determines that a hearing should be established regarding the
annexation, and directs that notice be given of the hearing. The hearing will be held at the
time of First Reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances on November 18. Not less
than thirty days of prior notice is required by State law.
25. Items Relating to Udy Subdivision County Referral.

Existing Development Phasing Criteria Requirement for the Udy Subdivision.
B. Resolution 97-133 Recommending Approval of a Waiver to the UGA Public Street
Capacity Phasing Criteria Requirement for the Udy Subdivision.
This Agenda Item Summary discusses two separate waiver requests by the developer of the
Udy Subdivision County referral. The first is a waiver request to the 1/6 contiguity to
existing development phasing criteria requirement. The second request is to exempt the
proposed development from the off -site street improvement requirements of the
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area.

8. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 137, 1997 Amending Chanter 26 of the City ode to
Authorize the Water Utility Enterprise to Have and Exercise Certain Powers in Furtherance
of its Purposes.
Article X, Section 20 of the State Constitution provides the ability to create enterprises. The
City of Fort Collins acted to establish its electric, water, wastewater, and stormwater utilities
as enterprises subsequent to the passage of Article X. Legal interpretations of the section
suggest that the City amend the Code to clarify the powers of the enterprises. Prior to
issuing bonds for the wastewater and stormwater utilities, corresponding sections of the Code
have been modified. Now, as the Water Utility is contemplating an issuance of bonds, staff
is recommending the appropriate changes to the Code relating to the Water Utility.
