Revere — A Good Fit for Berthoud
Revere is a 38-acre mixed commercial and residential development located at the northwest corner of Highway 287 and Mountain Avenue, just 1 mile west of downtown Berthoud.
Designed to provide a mix of commercial and residential options, Revere will create a balanced development that provides shopping, retail, starter homes, trails, a park and open space to our community.
As part of the Town’s approval, Revere has reduced its density by 20% and must make traffic and safety improvements along Highway 287 at Mountain Avenue—ensuring that Revere will be a Good Fit for Berthoud!
Before this can happen, voters must decide issues 1A and 3A at the April 7 Town election!
Issue 1A was placed on the ballot to overturn a decision made by Berthoud’s Town Council to zone the Revere development.
Back in October, the Planning Commission and Town Council, with support of Town staff, approved a mix of 45,000 square feet of commercial and 81 single-family detached homes at the Revere property on the west side of Town – about 2.8 homes per acre. The residential density the Town approved was nearly 20% lower than the Town’s zoning code allowed.
Ballot issue 1A asks voters to approve this decision by the Town Council. Voting Yes on 1A will keep this lower density in place for the Revere development.
Issue 3A was placed on the ballot to reduce the density on the Revere site by 95% - mandating the size of all residential lot sizes to 2.29 acres.
Issue 3A is out of compliance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and potentially taking away the property rights of the land’s owner. Area homes on two-acre lots typically sell for $2 million or more.
Voting No on 3A will ensure that the Revere development follows the Town’s comp plan.
