Title
Resolution Approving a Site Development Plan for Single-Family Residential Development within the Dawson Trails Planned Development (Dawson Trails Filing No. 2, Planning Area E2)
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
ACM Dawson Trails VIII JV LLC is seeking a recommendation for approval of a Site Development Plan (SDP) proposing a new townhome community to be located within Dawson Trails Planned Development (PD), Planning Area E2 (PA-E2). The site is approximately 8.4 acres and is located southwest of the intersection of Quandary Peak Drive and Dawson Trails Boulevard (Attachment A, Figure 1).
The proposal is for 100 townhome units, with attached two-car garages and an additional 27 surface spaces distributed throughout the development, as well as adjacent on-street parking. The townhomes are arranged around a one-acre landscaped park with meandering pathways, picnic tables, benches, and play structures. There will be direct connections to the nearby dedicated open space, a fenced dog park with a pet wash station located in the southwest area of the neighborhood. (Attachment B and C)
The Planning Commission considered the proposed Site Development Plan at a public hearing held on June 25, 2026. The Commission voted 6 - 0 (1 abstention) to recommend to Town Council approval of the site plan, as proposed.
Budget Impact
Development of the property will generate review, permit and impact fees, along with use taxes for the Town. Based on the proposed 100 individually owned townhomes, staff estimates that the project will generate the development impact fees and water system development fees shown in Table 4.
Development impact fees and water system development fees are charged on a per unit basis and are independent on unit size for townhomes. These estimates are based on the Town’s adopted 2026 impact fee and water system development fee schedules. Impact fees and system development fees are collected at the time individual building permits are issued and are subject to the fee schedule in effect at that time. Both impact fees and system development fees typically increase on an annual basis; therefore, it is anticipated this development will generate fees higher than the estimates above.
Recommendation
Planning Commission voted 6 - 0 (1 abstention) to recommend to Town Council approval of the Site Development Plan.
