The City of Fort Collins is inviting residents and business owners to participate in upcoming Open Houses to provide input on updates to the Land Use Code that could shape the future of local commercial spaces.
The Open Houses will be offered both virtually and in person, giving community members the chance to share feedback on four key topics aimed at improving the city’s commercial corridors and centers:
- Commercial building types and forms
- Adjustments to allowed uses within existing commercial zone districts
- Design standards that promote walkability and pedestrian-friendly environments
- Employment land use along the Harmony Corridor
- Improvements to the development review process
“The Land Use Code plays a vital role in shaping how our community grows,” said Clay Frickey, Planning Manager for the City of Fort Collins. “We want to ensure that future development aligns with our community’s vision and supports vibrant mixed-use areas and small businesses. Your input is essential in making that happen.”
The Open House events will be interactive, allowing attendees to engage with City staff at various stations at their own pace. Spanish interpretation will be available.
