The Fort Collins City Council will take up several financial and land-use decisions at its regular meeting on July 21, 20261.
On the discussion calendar, councilmembers will consider a $792,434 state grant from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs for infrastructure supporting Switchgrass Crossing, an affordable housing development1. They will also consider appropriating $157,000 in Department of Local Affairs grant money, plus $83,000 from the 2050 City Climate Tax, for an accessory dwelling unit program covering ADU design plans and eligible fee waivers1. A third item would waive Basic Development Review requirements under Land Use Code Section 4.3.4(F)(6) to facilitate a Larimer County-led effort to plug and abandon orphaned oil and gas wells in northeast Fort Collins1.
Under Other Business, council will consider a motion to go into executive session to discuss its negotiating position on potential business incentives for a project1.
The consent calendar carries further appropriations, including $1,806,281 in state health department grant revenue to replace 13 end-of-life city vehicles, and $550,000 in Urban Renewal Authority funds toward right-of-way acquisition for the North Mason Stormwater Project1.
Before the meeting, a community reception is scheduled at City Hall at 4 p.m., followed by a 5 p.m. proclamation declaring July 2026 as Disability Pride Month1. The regular meeting begins at 6 p.m. in City Council Chambers, 300 Laporte Ave., and via Zoom1.
