Title

Department Update:  Development Services Project Updates

Body

________________________________________________________________________________

 

Staff receives inquiries and land use and building permit applications on a daily basis.  The high growth nature of our community leads to many questions and individuals seeking information.  All land use activity information is located on the Town website under the Development Activity link.  Please contact me if any questions arise. 

 

1.                     New Quasi-Judicial Applications Requiring Public Hearings:

 

No new applications this week. 

2.                     General Inquiries in the Town or within the County:

 

Wolfensberger Apartment PPA:

Staff received a request seeking feedback on annexation and zoning of property at 650 East Wolfensberger Street adjacent to the Auburn Ridge apartment complex.  The proposed development plan includes a 3-story 200 unit apartment building with 138 underground parking spaces and 62 surface parking spaces.

 

Kreft PD PPA:

Staff received a request seeking feedback on a contractor’s office building and construction yard within the Kreft PD, located at 646 Prairie Hawk Drive south and east of the Denver Brick Company.  The property is accessed off Prairie Hawk Drive, which is currently a dirt road, with a crossing at the BNSF railroad tracks.

 

1407 N Park Street PPA:

Staff received a request seeking feedback on a proposed rezone that would change an existing automotive repair services PD zone to a straight zone Industrial (I-1).  I-1 zoning would allow a more diverse set of uses and is the same zoning as most of the surrounding properties.  The property is located at 1407 North Park Street.

3.                     Development Activity:


Annexations

                     Ridge Estates:  Ongoing discussions are occurring with staff.  The proposal includes annexation and zoning for 52 residential lots.  Density, buffering, water use, and traffic are issues that require further study prior to public hearings.  The project is located in Douglas County on the south boundary of Crystal Valley Ranch.


Pending Code Amendments

                     Assisted Living / Group Home:  Based upon Council direction, staff is preparing a code amendment to define location and development standards for Assisted Living and Group Home Facilities.  The item is tentatively scheduled for the Planning Commission in May and Town Council in June.

                     Parking Requirement Downtown:  The final draft was approved by the Downtown Development Authority and first reading of the Ordinance was approved by Town Council on May 1st.  Second reading is scheduled for May 15th.

                     Wireless Code Update:  Staff and legal counsel are drafting a code amendment to align the Town with Federal and State allowances for wireless providers and to define a process which requires design elements.  The item is scheduled for the Planning Commission on May 24th and tentatively with Town Council in June.
