Contrary to some views, the
hard -driving Republican fresh-
man class is not controlling its
leadership. Republicans nlnil

dinance would require develop
rent projects to have a romimarn

points that are needed to move
ahead in the citys review process.
' By demanding that projects
ear 40 base points, location be-
comes more critical. ORicials hope
that will push new construction
closer to existing public amenities,
a process known as phasing.
'This is not intended to slow
down development," said Gmg
Bryce, the city's director of com-
munity planning and Envimn-
menbil services. "Ids intended to
direct it" -
Tom Vosburg, a city policy ana-
lyst, said the plan wont diminish
the amount of land available to
development, "it only discourages
badly located projects. Them is
still better4ocated land inside the
city."
However, developer David
Everitt said that although the
goals are ndmina lot the city's
strategy may backfire.
"It all sounds gad on paper,
but the real question is what
comes first — the chicken or the
egg," he said. "It'e unrealistic to
think that a developer of a retail
shopping center will build on the
fringe."
Instead, retailers are gning to
look for moral and population
densities to support their services
and products, he said.
Were being a little, bit counter-
intuitive about the way things
usually work," Everitt said.
Also, he said, making the fringe
development more difficult to
achieve will probably drive up the
value of vacant land well inside
the city limits — a move that can
increase the price of new homes.
Finally, the move could also
spur another Boulder scenario,
where people work in Fort Collins
but live outside. Everitt and. That
shrinks the tax base that supports
the city's infrastructure, such as
streets. parks and Sewers.
"So is the cure worse than the
disease?" he asked.
Benvue resident Ron Thaemert
thinks the answer is no.
'Working toward a more com-
pact city is really a step in the
right direction," he said. "Develop
ment should be where the infra-
structure is available."
Thaemert said he thinks the
proposed policy is a gad idea, but
cautions the city against discear-
aging people from living new
open areas,
"When people do live out of the
city, there is a price that comes
with that," he said. "And its not
the same cost as in the city."
The City Council posited new
rules in 1994 and last December
that were supposed to encourage
the phrasing growth pattem. How-
ever, officials think mom changes
to the point process need to hap-
pen.
Talk about further tightening
up the development review prox,
dure began in the wake of two key
events.
■ First, a project known as
Registry Ridge, a development of
510 single-family lots on 196
acres near Trilby Road and
Shields Street, was approved by
the city. Critics caned it an "ihoud
of development" sonmmded by
.an ocean of open space" It is
under appeal to the City Council.
■ Second. the cityes Planning
and Zoning Board recently consid-
ered a "pause for planning' pro-
prsal that allows the city to limit
the number of proposals being
filed until growth guidelines are
approved ender the new City
Plan. Some residents called that
effort a moratorium in disguise.
Councilwoman Janett said the
Proposed phasing criteria need to
be, approved now and not when
the revamped City Plan is ready
fir adoption in about a year.
Otherwise, she said, the city
will bring in between 1,500 said
2,000 new housing units under
the old standards.
Waiting will lead to headaches,
she said.
"Some of these fringe develop-
ments we very problematic, espe-
cially when they are bumping up
to large -lot county subdivisions
and 'incompatible with the made,"
