While the board recognized council had little choice given the vote, it publicly noted its opposition to the zoning and said the action denied the board as a landowner, the economically viable use of the property and diminishes its fair market value.
The board reiterated that it reserves any and all authority under state law to manage its state-owned property and intends to move forward with the SPAR process that it initiated with the city in 2020.
As a state entity, CSU does not have to go through the city s regular development review process. Instead, it goes through a Site Plan Advisory Review, or SPAR, that essentially invites the city to weigh in on a project but gives it no actual authority to approve or reject it.
