City Council adopted the new Land Use Code in November 2022. This page is no longer being updated but remains visible for reference.
On November 1, 2022, City Council adopted a new Land Development Code that would have replaced the 1997 Land Use Code. A referendum was received and certified sufficient by the City Clerk regarding the City’s new Land Development Code. The Fort Collins City Charter grants the registered electors of Fort Collins the power to refer a Council-adopted Ordinance to the voters for approval or rejection. As a result, the new code was repealed and did not go into effect on January 1, 2023. Please visit this website for additional information on the referendum: https://www.fcgov.com/elections/referendum-effort-land-development-code(External link).
The primary focus of the code changes is supporting housing choice and affordability for current and future Fort Collins residents, in addition to making the code easier to use and understand. The vision and policies adopted in the 2019 City Plan and the 2021 Housing Strategic Plan set the stage for these code changes.
Note: The geographic boundaries of zone districts have NOT changed with the code updates. In some cases, zone districts have been re-named. To find information about zoning for specific parcels, please visit FC Maps(External link).
