Berthoud, Colorado residents will vote on two ballot measures in the upcoming April 7 municipal election that will determine the zoning and density of the proposed 38-acre Revere development. Ballot Question 1A asks whether to approve a rezoning ordinance that would allow for 81 single-family homes and 5.4 acres of commercial space, while Ballot Question 3A proposes limiting the development to one residential unit per 2.29 acres.

Why it matters

The Revere development has been a contentious issue in Berthoud, with residents divided over the appropriate zoning and density for the project. The outcome of these ballot measures will shape the future growth and character of the community.

The details

In October 2025, Berthoud's Board of Trustees passed Ordinance 1363, rezoning the 38-acre Revere property from a planned unit development (PUD) to suburban commercial and suburban residential zoning. The approved rezoning and master plan calls for 81 single-family homes and two commercial lots totaling 5.4 acres. However, a referendum petition process allowed residents to challenge the ordinance, leading to Ballot Question 1A. Separately, a citizen-led initiative resulted in Ballot Question 3A, which proposes limiting the Revere development to one residential unit per 2.29 acres.

• On October 14, 2025, Berthoud's Board of Trustees passed Ordinance 1363, rezoning the Revere property.
• Within 30 days of Ordinance 1363 passing, a referendum petition was submitted with over 5% of registered voter signatures, pausing the ordinance.
• A separate citizen-led initiative also received over 5% of registered voter signatures, resulting in Ballot Question 3A.
• Berthoud's municipal election, including Ballot Questions 1A and 3A, will be held on April 7, 2026.

What’s next

If both Ballot Question 1A and 3A pass, the measure that receives the most affirmative votes will prevail on the points of conflict.
