This is a Project Development Review request to develop a 41.34-acre site into a community including 212 dwelling units consisting of a mix of single-family detached, two-family, two-family and single-family attached, and a public community center and park. This site is generally located at the northwest corner of N Taft Hill Road and LaPorte Avenue and is in the LMN (Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood) zone district. This proposal is subject to a Type 1 (Administrative Hearing) review.
Note: This proposal was previously approved in a Type 1 Administrative hearing in 2022. However, the City will be holding a second hearing based on a recent District Court decision requiring the Hearing Officer conduct a new hearing on this matter. The application has remained the same, with some new supplemental documents submitted by the applicant on October 19, 2023. You can read them in the "NEW 2023 Hearing Materials" folder on this page
Welcome to the Development Review Center
When you see a construction project being built in your neighborhood, did you know that City of Fort Collins staff have been hard at work on that project many months before the first shovel even broke ground?
Development Review is the process through which development proposals are examined, edited and approved or denied by the City before they can obtain the site inspections and building permits they need to begin work.

Neighborhood Meetings
Neighborhood meetings are the main tool for the public to engage with development proposals. Depending on the use and zone of a project, many applicants are required to attend a meeting hosted by City staff with neighbors to answer questions and respond to concerns.
Right now, all neighborhood meetings are offering the ability to attend in-person or virtually on Zoom and attendance information will be posted at the top of this page 48 hours in advance. Meeting notices are mailed to all addresses within a certain radius of the proposed development project but any member of the public is welcome to attend. Instructions for neighborhood meetings can be found under the "documents" tab on the right side of this page.
