In 2025, the City of Loveland will continue to explore its metropolitan district (metro district) policy, recognizing the importance of developing a strategic and sustainable development plan that serves to maintain a healthy and economically vibrant community while working to balance housing affordability that also serves to preserve Loveland’s existing charm. City staff are actively reviewing the City’s Model Service Plan, the 17-Point Criteria, policy efficacy, and our metropolitan district application and oversight fee structure.
This effort includes a discussion with our community and City Council about transparency and accountability within metro districts, including concerns about how debt is managed and how mill levies are set, and to better define and secure diversified housing options in the City of Loveland.
It also helps prevent haphazard development by offering balanced annexation, zoning, and land use guidelines while working to ensure developers contribute to public needs. This contributes to private investment in public growth. Developers can use metro districts to finance upfront infrastructure costs, making projects more viable. This helps attract residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments that contribute to Loveland’s tax base.
