CONSENT CALENDAR
The Consent Calendar is intended to allow Council to spend its time and energy on the important items on a lengthy agenda. Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Agenda items pulled from the Consent Calendar by either Council or the City Manager will be considered separately under their own Section, titled “Consideration of Items Removed from Consent Calendar for Individual Discussion.” Items remaining on the Consent Calendar will be approved by Council with one vote. The Consent Calendar consists of:
• Ordinances on First Reading that are routine;
• Ordinances on Second Reading that are routine;
• Those of no perceived controversy;
• Routine administrative actions.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 18, 2023, appropriates $10,844,479 in prior year reserves in the Natural Areas Fund and $1,258,071 in prior year reserves in the Sales and Use Tax fund to be transferred to the Natural Areas Fund. These appropriations are for land conservation, visitor amenities and restoration of wildlife habitat, as well as other Natural Areas Department stewardship activities to benefit the residents of Fort Collins.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 18, 2023, supports the Choose Your Ride, Shift Your Ride project being administered by FC Moves in collaboration with Colorado State University in support of affordable active modes of transportation for low-income individuals by appropriating $148,350 of unanticipated grant revenue, awarded by the Colorado Energy Office, to the Transportation Fund.
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 066, 2023, Making Supplemental Appropriations in the Community Development Block Grant Fund.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 067, 2023, Making Supplemental Appropriations in the HOME Investment Partnerships Grant Fund.
The purpose of this item is to appropriate the City's FY2023 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Grant and Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Participating Jurisdiction Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and CDBG program income from FY2021 and FY2022 and HOME Program Income from FY2021 and FY2022.
The purpose of this item is to amend the Zoning Map and rezone the North College Mobile Home Park (the “Property”) from the Service Commercial (CS) and Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN) zone districts to the Manufactured Housing (MH) zone district. Half the Property is the CS zone district, and the other half is the LMN zone district. With the proposed rezoning both of those would change to the MH zone district, which would cover the entirety of the property. The 33-acre Property is located southwest of the North College Avenue and Willox Lane intersection. The proposed rezoning was initiated by the City and continues a series of rezonings begun in 2020 to rezone existing mobile home parks to the MH zone district to promote the preservation of existing manufactured housing communities.
The rezoning request is subject to Section 2.9.4 of the Land Use Code. The rezoning may be approved, approved with conditions, or denied by Council after receiving a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 to 1 at their March 23, 2023, hearing to recommend approval of the rezoning.
This item is a quasi-judicial matter and if it is considered on the discussion agenda, it will be considered in accordance with Section 2(d) of the Council’s Rules of Meeting Procedures adopted in Resolution 2022-068.

The purpose of this item is to appropriate local match funds and approve two intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) for the West Elizabeth Corridor Final Design (the Project) and enable the City to receive and expend Federal and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) funds for and to proceed forward with the Project. The funds will be used for the final 100% design and outreach regarding improvements along West Elizabeth Street from Mason Street and the Colorado State University (CSU) campus to Overland Drive.

END OF CONSENT CALENDAR
The method of debate for discussion items is as follows:
• Mayor introduced the item number and subject; asks if formal presentation will be made by staff
• Staff presentation (optional)
• Mayor requests public comment on the item (three minute limit for each person)
• Council questions of staff on the item
• Council motion on the item

Note: Time limits for individual agenda items may be revised, at the discretion of the Mayor, to ensure all have an opportunity to speak. The timer will buzz when there are 30 seconds left and the light will turn yellow. It will buzz again at the end of the speaker’s time.
The purpose of this ordinance is to amend the Fort Collins Land Use Code to include 1041 regulations. 1041 powers give local governments the ability to regulate particular development projects occurring within their jurisdiction, even when the project has broader impacts. The 1041 regulations would allow for reviewing and permitting of two designated areas and activities of statewide interest - (1) major domestic water, sewage treatment and (2) highway projects. Staff has included five decision points for Council’s consideration based on feedback from stakeholder meetings since Council’s previous consideration of 1041 regulations on February 7, 2023.
(Three or more individual Councilmembers may direct the City Manager and City Attorney to initiate and move forward with development and preparation of resolutions and ordinances not originating from the Council's Policy Agenda or initiated by staff.)
