Summary:
Owner: Colorado College
Consultant: NES, Inc.
Location: The block bound by N. Tejon St., E. Cache la Poudre St., N. Nevada Ave., and E. Dale St.
The applications under consideration are a Form-Based Zone Conditional Use Development Plan, Right-of-Way Vacation, and a Minor Amendment to the Colorado College Master Plan. All three have been submitted to allow development of a 3,400 seat arena with street-level commercial uses and an attached 324 stall parking garage on a 3.67 acre, FBZ-T2A (Form-Based Zone - Transition Sector 2A) zoned site.
