Rezoning could mean fewer homes for former Hughes Stadium land

The recommendation could jeopardize Lennar Homes' plan to build 600 to 700 homes on the property formerly home to CSU's football stadium.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The city has made its first move toward rezoning the 165-acre former Hughes Stadium land in west Fort Collins, a move that could ultimately reduce the number of houses in a planned redevelopment. 

City staff has tentatively recommended rezoning the eastern half of the site as low-density mixed-use, or LMN, which would require at least four different housing types and a neighborhood center. 

The western half, closest to the foothills, could be designated Residential Foothills, or RF, which means single-family homes must be clustered and half the area retained as open space or in open condition. 

Both zones are consistent with adjacent neighborhoods and City Plan, Fort Collins' bible for future growth, said Cameron Gloss, the city's long-range planning manager.
