DATE: March 19, 1991
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF• Steve Olt
SUBJECT:
Hearing and First 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 First 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.
These amendments are "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.
