Criteria Added to Metro Review Process

In 2025, Phase 1 of the City Council's policy refinement was completed with the approval of an Amended Model Service Plan through amendments to Title 20, listing the previous moratorium on metro district plan approval. A revised 18-Point Criteria replaced the previously adopted 17-point criteria, which was reviewed and adopted in 2022. The goal of the 2025 review was to improve developer accountability and standardization, and increase transparency for potential property buyers.

Phase 2 Policy Refinement will evolve in the future, as the City of Loveland continues to explore other policy refinements.

A preview of materials was presented to City Council on June 3, including a draft resolution. Policy updates were adopted during the Tuesday, June 17, 2025, meeting.

For more information, the City of Loveland has a webpage dedicated to information about metro districts in the community.
