DATE: April 16, 1991
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Steve Olt
SUBJECT•
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 32, 1991, Amending Section 29-526 of the Code
of the City (the Land Development Guidance System) by Changing the Name "Master
Plan" to "Overall Development Plan".
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
During the Performance Audit of the LDGS that was completed in October, 1990,
a small but important issue arose as a result of input received from the private
sector. In discussing master plan changes it became apparent that many people
consider the name "Master Plan" to mean the equivalent of "City comprehensive
plan" (i.e. Master Street Plan, Parks and Recreation Master Plan, etc.). The
name should be changed to something that reflects its status as a privately
proposed and publicly approved overall development plan for a parcel of private
land.
Presently, a master plan for the entire development site, together with the
proposed preliminary plans for the first phase of development, is required if
a property under one ownership is intended to be developed over time in two or
more separate preliminary plan submittals.
This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 19, makes
the "housekeeping" type changes and will replace the name "Master Plan" with
"Overall Development Plan" throughout the Land Development Guidance System (where
applicable).
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of this ordinance on a 7-0
vote at its February 25, 1991 meeting.
ORDINANCE NO. 32, 1991
OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AMENDING SECTION 29-526 OF THE CODE OF
THE CITY (THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
GUIDANCE SYSTEM) BY CHANGING
THE NAME "MASTER PLAN" TO
"OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN"
WHEREAS, during the 1990 Performance Audit of the Land Development Guidance
System, various members of the public expressed a concern regarding the
difficulty of distinguishing between a master plan for a single development and
the Comprehensive Plan of the City; and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined that it is in the best interests of
the citizens of the City that the Land Development Guidance System be amended
for the purpose of avoiding confusion between the City's overall Comprehensive
Plan and its various component master plans and planned unit development master
plans for individual developments by changing the term "Master Plan" for
developments in Section 29-526 to "Overall Development Plan."
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
that the term "Master Plan" shall be changed to "Overall Development Plan"
wherever said term may be found in Section 29-526 of the Code of the City, with
the following exceptions:
• 4 The term "Master Street Plan," as found in Section 29-526(D)
All Development Criteria No. 5 and in Appendix B, shall remain
unchanged.
0 That the term "Fire Protection and Emergency Services Master
Plan," as found in Appendix B, shall remain unchanged.
• That the term "master plan," as found in Section 29-526(D)
Downtown River Corridor Criteria No. 4(a) and corresponding
point chart, shall remain unchanged.
Introduced, considered favorably on first reading, and ordered published
this 19th day of March, A.D. 1991, and to be presented for final passage on the
16th day of April, A.D. 1991.
