Re: Annexation of Hughes Stadiurn Property
Dear Mayor Troxell, Mayor Pro Tern Horak, and City Manager Atteberry:
The purpose of this letter is to request that the City of Fort Collins annex the Hughes Stadiurn property
(approximately 164 acres) owned by the Board of Governors of the Colorado State University System.
The Petition for Annexation and related fees and supporting documents are being submitted to the City
contemporaneously with this letter.
As I believe you are aware, the University has initiated an RFQJRFP process to select a developer to re
develop the Hughes property. Since it is unclear as to how the property will ultimately be developed,
the University is requesting, based on City staff recommendation, a Transition (T) zoning district as the
initial zoning applied to the property upon annexation. The most likely scenario for development is
believed to be a mix of residential uses with potentially some neighborhood commercial, if feasible.
We believe that this annexation supports and is consistent with the City’s current City Plan, and hope
that the City will support and assist with this request and you will initiate whatever course of action is
needed to allow for this Annexation process.
Fred Haberecht with CSU Facilities Management and Rick Callan with CSURF Real Estate have been
designated by the University to work with the City on this project. Feel free to contact either of them, or
myself, if needed.
Sincerely,
_)
