Single-family housing is NOT "suburban"
I noticed that the planners call single-family detached housing “suburban” in the topic of your upcoming (Oct 23) input session. I would like to object to this characterization which has lately become viewed as pejorative, and which furthermore is not an accurate description of most of the single-family residential areas within Fort Collins. A suburb is defined (by Merriam-Webster) as: 1a : an outlying part of a city or town; b : a smaller community adjacent to or within commuting distance of a city; c suburbs plural : the residential area on the outskirts of a city or large town. The single-family residential zones within Fort Collins are not “suburban neighborhoods.” These neighborhoods should be viewed as they currently are -- one of many housing/neighborhood choices that are and should remain available to Fort Collins residents. If this LUC update proceeds and eliminates single-family, zoning you will create growth in the actual suburban neighborhoods as those of us who prefer to live in a stand-alone house with our own yards flee this city.
