HomeMy WebLinkAboutIMU TEK ANNEXATION AND ZONING - 55 93 AND 55 93A - AGENDA - FIRST READING0 0 City of Fort Collins printed on recycled paper • Fil PAGE 11 Approval of the Resolution would indicate the City's willingness to issue tax exempt industrial development revenue bonds so the company could construct a new manufacturing facility located at 1001 Buckingham Street in the northeast part of the City. The 50,000 square foot building on a six acre site would provide the company with enough room to double its total employment over the next three years. The company currently employs 45 people. The project will include the building and additional equipment to support manufacturing operations. If the inducement Resolution is approved the Company will apply for an allocation from the statewide balance of 1993 private activity bonds. 36. Resolution 93-170 Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Agreement Regarding the Opera House Project. On July 6, 1993, the Council approved Resolution 93-106 which authorized the restructuring of the industrial development revenue bonds that were issued in 1986 for the Opera House Project. Resolution 93-106 was contingent on the development of an intergovernmental agreement between the City, the Downtown Development Authority, the Bondholder, and other parties having a recorded interest in the Project. The agreement was to address the level of tenant finish for the Project, the level of .tax revenues anticipated to be generated by the Project and other matters as may be considered necessary to protect the interests of the City and the Downtown Development Authority. After several months of negotiation between the City and the DDA and the proponents of the project, the agreement is in substantially final form. The agreement specifies the amount of real property taxes expected for the years 1992 through 2005, the amount of monies to be held for tenant finish of the project, the use of parking space in the Laporte America lot and other locations, the maintenance of the public mall portion of the Project and other matters to protect the interests of the City and DDA. 37. Second Reading of Ordinance No 109 1993 Appropriating Funds and Authorizing the Purchase of Certain Downtown Properties Owned by Trillium Corporation. This ordinance authorizes the purchase of the LaPorte America lot and a strip of land along the alley behind 281 North College from Trillium Corporation. The negotiations related to these properties have taken place over the last three years, beginning with Burlington Northern Resources, then Glacier Park, and finally with Trillium Corporation. The sources of funding for this project are: $318,000 from the Parking Division reserve held in the Transportation Fund, $71,000 from savings in the City's Essential Capital Projects Fund, and $86,000 from the 1993 General Fund Operating contingency. 38.

On October 11, 1993, an appeal was received by the City Clerk's office regarding the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board. 34. First Reading of Ordinance No. 146, 1993, Amending Chapter 15 of the Code Relating to Licenses and Business Regulations. The current temporary vendor ordinance was adopted in 1986. It worked well until 1990, but the amount of outdoor vending has steadily increased since then. The number of complaints and conflicts concerning these vendors has also steadily increased, and it became apparent that the existing ordinance did not allow the City to address these problems. The complaints concern the compatibility of vending operations with the surrounding area and existing businesses; the type of goods sold; the quality of the operation; the lack of contribution toward cleanup and promotional expenses; and sales in violation of the Zoning Code. The present ordinance does not address these problems very well because it requires the City to grant a license unless the operation will create traffic problems or interfere with City operations. Staff looked at four (4) broad -based options to resolve this situation: Do not change the existing ordinance. 2. Make changes to the existing ordinance to give the City the ability to deal with these problems and conflicts. 3. Consolidate all outdoor vending in the downtown area, regulate it through concession agreements and ban outdoor vending in all other areas. 4. Ban all outdoor vending. Staff is recommending Option 2 because it will give the City the ability to regulate the quality and compatibility of vending operations and will prevent vending on private property that is not zoned for retail sales. 35. Resolution 93-168 Setting Forth the Intention of the City to Issue Industrial Development Revenue Bonds for the Phelps-Tointon Millwork, LLC, Project. Phelps-Tointon Millwork, a Limited Liability Company, submitted an application to the City for an Inducement Resolution in the amount of $1,500,000. Formerly Colorado Custom Cabinets, the Company is now owned by Phelps-Tointon, Inc., a Colorado corporation based in Greeley and Mr. Tim Brown, the former President of Colorado Custom Cabinets. The company manufactures commercial, institutional and high quality kitchen cabinetry. City of Fort Collins g,a printed on recycled paper E • PAGE 9 C.

Al five bids received exceeded the estimated construction cost of $3,913,800. The lowest bidder was $456,000 above this estimate. On October 19, 1993, Resolution 93-158 was considered by the Council. This Resolution proposed a reduction in the scope of the project by $126,200, with remaining budget shortfall of $329,800 to be covered by excess Choices 95 revenue added as part of the 1994 proposed budget. This combination of a reduction in the scope of the project and increase in the amount budgeted would have accommodated the $456,000 deficit. Council adopted Resolution 93-158 with an amendment that directed staff to return on November 2, 1993, outlining further savings in this project of $100,000 to reduce the additional amount that would have to be added to the project budget. Council further directed that any savings would not affect the scope and quality of the facility. On September 27, 1993, the Planning and Zoning Board approved, with conditions, Spring Creek Village, Preliminary P.U.D. This project represented an amended P.U.D. and a continued item from the July 26, 1993 Planning and Zoning Board hearing. The request consists of 218 multi- family apartments on 24.27 acres located on the east side of Shields Street, south of Prospect Road.

Resolution 93-164 Approving an Agreement with North Poudre Irrigation Company for an Option to Purchase the Halligan Reservoir. Because both the Water Utility Enterprise Board and the City are parties to the NPIC agreement, the City Council needs to consider adopting a Resolution similar to the one adopted by the Board.

PAGE 7 The replacement of the North College Avenue Bridge over the Poudre River will allow the City to enhance the bridge for the north entrance into the city and install a trail underpass. This new State Highway bridge will allow the City to create a "Gateway" from the north into Fort Collins. This theme has been proposed in the many planning documents. Design materials for the bridge follow the directions in the "Design Guidelines for Pedestrian -Way Improvements, Downtown Development Authority." The main enhancement items include: planters in the median south of and on the bridge, decorative pedestrian lights matching "Old Town" lights, exposed aggregate sidewalks, the use of sandstone as an accent stone, and landscaping in the medians, trail lighting system, and special concrete treatment (fluted finish) of the piers under the bridge for the trail. The ISTEA program will be the main funding source for the bridge enhancement items. The matching ratio for the work is 82% ($123,000) Federal -aid funds and 18% ($28,000) City. The proposed City funding source is the re-routing of existing Mason -Howes Phase II (trail segment) Capital Project funding which presently contains about $32,000. This money was originally set aside for improvements to the trail system when the one -ways would connect to College Avenue, and is currently no longer considered a viable project. Funding from this account ($18,000) was used for the 1990 North College Avenue Trail Underpass Study. The remainder of the Mason -Howes Phase II (trail segment) Capital Project funding will be used for enhancement of the trail system near the bridge. 23. Resolution 93-163 Amending the South College Access Plan. On December 6, 1988, the City Council approved the South College Avenue Access Control Plan. This Plan is used by the City of Fort Collins and the Colorado Department of Transportation in conjunction with the State Highway Access Code and sets the location and types of access points on US 287 between Swallow Road and Trilby. The Plan has been successful in facilitating the flow of traffic in an area under high development pressure. On October 4, 1993, the Planning and Zoning Board approved the Preliminary Matterhorn PUD with (among other things) a condition that the South College Access Plan be amended to allow for a right-in/right-out access point prior to the applicant moving forward with a Final P.U.D. The site plan for the development requests a right-in/right-out access point on the west side of College Avenue, approximately 250 feet north of Horsetooth Road. This amendment shall be limited in its application to the uses proposed for this development or such other uses as are determined by the City of Fort Collins printed on recycled paper PAGE 6 19.

Under the terms of the contract, CDH will pay $30,000 to the City for the completion of specific air quality education and data collection projects. The air quality projects support the air quality objectives and policies established in the 1993 Air Quality Policy Plan. For the past six years Fort Collins Police Services has applied for project funding to the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice for federal drug grant monies. For project year 1993/1994, Police Services has again joined with the Loveland Police Department and Larimer County Sheriff's Department, in one application, for a multi -jurisdictional project to be administered by Police Services. As administrator of the grant, Police Services will assure funding to the other participating agencies for their share of the federal funds. The City has recently received notification of a grant award in the amount of $102,503. The participating agencies will be providing match monies in the amount of $167,558. Fort Collins' portion of the match is $76,377, which is met through application of the budgeted salary and fringe benefits of an existing officer assigned to the Special Investigations Unit and the salary and benefits of a Secretary I who is also assigned to that unit.
