Resolution Approving a Site Development Plan for a Mixed-Use Development within the 826 Park Street Expansion and 200 Wolfensberger Road Planned Development (Unity on Wolfensberger Project) [1.36 Acres Multi-Family Located South Wolfensberger Road and East of Park Street]
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
Wellspring Community is seeking approval of a Site Development Plan for a multifamily development to be known as Unity on Wolfensberger. Wellspring Community is looking to renovate the old Quality Inn hotel. The renovation will result in a 24-unit market rate housing development with half of the units available to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and the remaining units offered to neurotypical individuals. The space will also be utilized for offices, day programs, and Wellspring Community programming serving the ID/D residents.
The proposal is in conformance with the 826 Park Street Expansion & 200 Wolfensberger Road Planned Development Plan and Zoning Regulations, and with Town Municipal Code and technical criteria. All staff and external comments have been addressed through the review process.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission voted 5 - 0 to recommend approval to Town Council of the Unity on Wolfensberger Multi-Family Site Development Plan at a public hearing held on November 13, 2025.
Budget Impact
Wellspring Community has submitted a request for a fee waiver for the conversion of the Quality Inn to an ID/D/multi-family facility. Town code provides for development impact fee (§3.16.050) and system development fee (§13.12.080J) reductions of up to 100 percent for attainable housing projects. Per code, “A qualifying attainable housing project and unit shall be defined as a housing project or unit participating in an attainable or affordable housing program through the Douglas County Housing Partnership, Colorado Housing Finance Authority or other certified local, state or federal attainable housing program.” Waivers of this type require Town Council approval, which was considered and approved by Town Council on May 6, 2025.

Planning Commission voted 5 - 0 to recommend to Town Council approval of the Site Development Plan, as proposed.
