The upcoming ballot measures to derail the Red Rocks Ranch project at the northeast corner of Morrison Road and C-470 come on the heels of a vote last summer by residents in Greenwood Village to scrap a plan to zone a 44-acre area near the Orchard Station light rail stop for a dense, mixed-use project.
