Summary

The court held that a proposed initiative seeking to amend a specific planned unit development agreement is administrative rather than legislative and therefore is not subject to Colorado's initiative power. The initiative would bypass the statutory and contractual procedures requiring site-specific review, public hearing, and compliance with existing PUD standards. The court reversed and remanded for consideration of the Town's attorney-fee request.
