EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This item is a quasi-judicial matter and if it is considered on the discussion agenda it will be considered in
accordance with the procedures described in Section 1(d) of the Council’s Rules of Meeting Procedures adopted

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The requested zoning for this annexation is Transition (T) which applies to properties in which there are no

of the annexation (10 days after Second Reading) and off-site staging pursuant to Land Use Code Section
4.12(B).

Zoning
The requested zoning for this annexation is the Transition (T) zone district. The Transition zone district is
intended for properties for which there are no specific and immediate plans for development. Colorado State
University’s stated objectives for future development of the property are as follows:
• Select a master developer to present a plan that best serves the collective interests of CSU, Larimer County,
and the City of Fort Collins
• Include consideration of opportunities for environmentally conscious development principles
• Include consideration of opportunities for provision of affordable and workforce housing
• Effectively collaborate with the surrounding community
It should be noted that any future request to change zoning for the subject property would require a future
recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Board and approval by City Council.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There are no direct financial impacts as a result of the proposed zoning.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its September 20, 2018, regular meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval
of the annexation. Further, the Board recommended that the property be placed into the Transition (T) zone
district. This unanimous action was taken as part of the Board’s Discussion Agenda. An excerpt of minutes from
the discussion agenda is provided as an attachment (Attachment 4).
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The City of Fort Collins Land Use Code and the Colorado Revised Statutes do not require a neighborhood
meeting in conjunction with a voluntary annexation.
However, prior to the formal submittal of the Hughes Stadium Annexation, Colorado State University and
consultants, CAA ICON, hosted two listening sessions at the Drake Centre on September 20, 2017, and October
18, 2017. The meeting offered five “listening” stations where either staff or consultants were available to interact
and receive feedback on the following five topic areas; redevelopment process, existing site, land use context,
community needs and values and transportation.
In addition to the in-person events, Colorado State University hosted an online forum that started on August 28,
2017, and is still available today. During the period between August 28, 2017- December 21, 2017, more than
100 community members communicated their ideas, questions and concerns. Combined, approximately 700
comments, questions and/or concerns were logged by CSU and CAA ICON. The resulting feedback is described
by three primary themes:
1. Open Space: Preservation of open space and access to natural/recreational opportunities.
2. Housing: Mix of choices, low density, workforce housing, innovative and affordable
3. Neighborhood Center: neighborhood-oriented services
Additional public outreach will be required prior to the submittal of a development application/request for zoning
to the City of Fort Collins.
