City, residents respond to ongoing Hughes Stadium redevelopment By Dorina Vida @simply_she_

Hughes Stadium and the land surrounding it is up for redevelopment by the City of Fort Collins after Colorado State University sold it to a developer, but the development process is still ongoing. CSU sold the 61-acre property to Lennar Colorado LLC, a national developer that specializes in home construction and mort-

gage financing, for $10 million with the intention of utilizing the land to develop affordable-housing communities, The Collegian previously reported in February, following the Board of Governors’ announcement of the land being sold. At a total of 161 acres including surrounding land, the area is planned to support 600 to 700 homes, all varying in design and capacity, according to a Board of Governors’ press release sent to

The Collegian. “The former Hughes Stadium site has been annexed into the City, and the applicant/developer will submit an application for Development Review with the City,” said Sylvia Tatman-Burruss, a specialist on public engagement for the City of Fort Collins. “The details of that process are not yet known, as the applicant has not yet submitted a formal application to the City.” Tatman-Burruss said once

the developer submits the application, multiple variations of the development plan will undergo review prior to being allowed to proceed and go before the Planning and Zoning Board. The land also needs to be re-zoned prior to development, which includes multiple public hearings with the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council, Tatman-Burruss said. These dates have not yet been set. During a neighborhood meet-

ing April 4 at the Drake Center, the City invited individuals who live in that area and would be affected by the development to hear from the potential developers as well as representatives for the City. At this meeting, details were presented on the situation as well as answers to questions and comments made by citizens on the topic of land use and plans for development.
