Greeley Voters Vote Yes on 1A

February 25, 2026

GREELEY, Colo. — Results for the City of Greeley's Special Election on Ballot Issue 1A were released by the City Clerk’s Office on February 24 at 10:02 p.m. The special election was held on February 24, 2026, and asked voters whether Ordinance 30, 2025 should be repealed.

Greeley voters approved Ballot Issue 1A, repealing Ordinance 30, 2025.  

  • YES votes: 11,342
  • NO votes: 9,506

As a result, the zoning for the approximately 834-acre property located north of U.S. Highway 34 and east of Weld County Road 17 reverts to the zoning designations that were in place prior to adoption of the ordinance, including Holding Agriculture (H-A) zoning for portions of the property.

Election Administration

This was a mail ballot election administered by the Greeley City Clerk’s Office. Ballots were required to be received by 7 p.m. on February 24, 2026, to be counted.

“I want to thank our election judges and staff for their professionalism and commitment to administering a fair and secure election,” said City Clerk Heidi Leatherwood. “Their work ensures the integrity of the election process and helps maintain public trust.”

Election results remain unofficial until certified by the City Clerk in accordance with state law. Certification is expected on March 5.

Next Steps

With the repeal of Ordinance 30, 2025, the Cascadia Planned Unit Development is no longer in effect, and the property reverts to its prior H-A Holding Agriculture zoning designation.

Under H-A zoning urban vertical development cannot proceed without a new rezoning request. Property owners may submit a new zoning application for City review and evaluation.

City staff will now conduct a full legal and planning review and return to Council with recommendations outlining potential zoning pathways and next steps. Under City Code, a substantially similar PUD application cannot be resubmitted for one year and would be subject to heightened review standards. Any future proposal would need to be materially different and would move through standard public processes.

West Greeley remains an important long-term growth area for the City, and Council will continue to evaluate future development through established planning, zoning and public review processes.
