Sun Communities project has another public hearing

Neighbors of a controversial proposed 200-home manufactured housing community in south Fort Collins will have a second chance to weigh in on the plan. 

The 50-acre project at 6750 S. College Ave., east of College Avenue and south of Trilby Road, raised concerns among area residents who objected to the increased traffic and additional housing for lower-income residents in the neighborhood. 

Sun Communities, a real estate investment trust with 430 manufactured home and RV communities throughout the U.S., will host a second neighborhood meeting from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Dec. 2.

The neighborhood meeting comes as part of a conceptual review before formal plans are filed.

The Fort Collins Planning & Zoning Board on Oct. 15 approved two modifications to city standards that Sun Communities said were necessary before going forward with the project.
