Update on PATHS’ “Request for Interpretation” of SPAR Land Use Code

Hello Friends of Hughes Open Space!

We have an update on our attorneys' Request for Interpretation to the City regarding the legality and applicability (or lack thereof) of the SPAR process for CSU's proposed redevelopment of Hughes. Spurred by a letter from PATHS, City Staff sent a letter to CSU on 12/10/2020 seeking clarification and specific details about how CSU's proposal meets the explicit criteria for a SPAR Review.

See the letter from City Staff, and the video of the P&Z Board work session, where the status of the Request for Interpretation is discussed by Paul Sizemore, Interim Director of Community Development and Neighborhood Services.
