Welcome! Information about Development in Your Neighborhood

This page is your starting point for learning about and participating in the development review process in Larimer County. You might be here because you scanned a QR code on a postcard or a sign at a property.

The aim is to provide you with accessible information about proposed development projects and make it easy for you to provide feedback and learn about upcoming public meetings and hearings. 

To get started, you will need to identify the specific project you are interested in. 

Step 1: Identify the Project

If you received a postcard, it will list a Project Name and Plan Number. You can use this information to access project materials directly in the Community Development Online Portal.

Step 2: What Would You Like to Do or Learn About? 

Now that you've identified the project and know its details, here's how you can engage or learn more.

Development projects go through several stages. Depending on the current stage of the project you're interested in, different options for participation exist. 

Neighbor Notice Phase/Stage/Period

Your input is valuable, especially during the early review stages. This is your opportunity to share comments, questions, or concerns about a proposed development with staff and decision-makers. 

Neighborhood Meeting

Staff may require an applicant to hold a neighborhood meeting to present the proposal, answer questions, and gather feedback from nearby residents before more formal hearings. 

Public Hearing

A decision to approve or deny an application is sometimes made at a public hearing. A public hearing is a formal meeting held by either the Board of County Commissioners, the Planning Commission, or the Board of Adjustment to review and make a decision on a development application. This is a key opportunity for you to provide public comment.

Disclaimer: Not all development review projects are noticed to the public or are heard at a public hearing. See article 6.3 of the Land Use Code for more information. 

Step 3: I'm ready to provide public comment, attend a neighborhood meeting, or attend a public hearing
