Neighborhood Meeting

Meeting Date: July 31, 2024

This project requires a neighborhood meeting.  Neighborhood meetings provide the project team and residents a forum to work together at an early stage of the process.

At this meeting the applicant team will describe the project and answer questions about the development. Neighbors are encouraged to attend so they may ask questions and provide feedback.

Please note that the applicant team may decide to host a number of informal meetings prior to the City’s required meeting.

Planning Commission

Hearing Date:  September 9, 2024 

As part of the public hearing process, applicants must present their proposal to Planning Commission. Planning Commission will review the proposal, relative to the findings of the Unified Development Code, and make a recommendation to City Council to approve or deny the request.

All interested parties may appear and speak on the matter at the public hearing and/or file written comments with the Current Planning Division at least one week in advance of the hearing.

City Council

Hearing Date:   December 17, 2024 

Zoning and Planned Unit Development requests are subject to the discretionary review and decision of the Loveland City Council.

All interested parties may appear and speak on the matter at the public hearing and/or file written comments with the City Clerk at least one week in advance of the hearing. Items submitted at the public hearing will not be accepted as they were not available for public review prior to the hearing.

How will I be notified?

Applicants must provide 15-day notice of the neighborhood meeting and public hearings by:

• Mailing notices to property owners within a 1000 ft radius of the property
• Posting notice signs on the project property in prominent locations along the right-of-way
• The City also provides 15-day notice by posting notice on the City’s website
• The City also provides 15-day notice by publishing notice of public hearings in the Reporter Herald

As questions are collected, responses will be posted here.

Is the City the applicant?

No, the applicant is First Christian Church.

Will I receive a mailed notice of the City-required neighborhood meeting and public hearings?

Property owners within 1,000 ft of the property will be sent the mailed notice. To further public awareness of the meetings, notice is not limited to mailings, but will also include the posting of signs on the property, newspaper notices, and City website notices. In addition, Homeward Alliance is providing outreach about the meetings to nearby residents.
