SUBJECT
Resolution 2014-017 Appointing a City Councilmember to the Colorado State University Stadium Community
Design Development Advisory Committee.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to appoint a member from Council to serve as the City’s representative on the
Community Design Development Advisory Committee.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
None.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In 2012, Colorado State University (CSU) convened a Stadium Advisory Committee to examine the feasibility
of building an on-campus stadium. A 15-person panel - the Stadium Advisory Committee - worked for seven
months, including an extensive public input process, and delivered a report to President Tony Frank in August
2012 that identified a potential site, highlighted funding options, examined potential impacts, and captured
public sentiment.
While the Stadium Advisory Committee determined it was feasible to build a stadium on campus, President
Frank ultimately decided CSU should move ahead with the project. In October 2012, the CSU System Board
of Governors voted to affirm Dr. Frank’s recommendation to begin an effort to raise private support for at least
half the cost of the stadium, as well as to begin detailed planning for the project.
At present, CSU has begun detailed planning for the design of an on-campus stadium. As part of this process,
the University is convening a Community Design Development Advisory Committee (CDDAC). This
Committee is to review a range of development elements and impact -- such as parking, traffic, noise, lighting -
and provide feedback as to how to address these issues and provide a high quality stadium for the University
and the community.
The CDDAC will include members representing a broad range of stakeholder interests, including:
Faculty
Staff
Students
Alumni
Athletic Department
Season ticket holders
Neighbors/property owners south of Prospect
Neighbors/property owners north of Prospect
SOS Hughes
