Executive Summary

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:

Heckendorf Ranch Site Development Plan:

Forum Development Group submitted a Site Development Plan application to construct 155 luxury, age targeted, multifamily dwelling units with a mix of townhomes and apartments. The project is located at the northwest corner of Crystal Valley Parkway and Plum Creek Boulevard.

221 Wilcox Site Development Plan:

Confluence Companies submitted a Site Development Plan application to construct a 5- story mixed use building with 39 residential units and approximately 8,500 square feet of retail space, with underground parking on-site. The project is located at the southwest corner of Wilcox and 3^rd Streets.

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

Promenade:

Staff met with Don Provost and Peter Cudlip from the Promenade team to discuss existing conditions and review specific site design and landscape elements identified in the Council approved Promenade Vision Book. Discussion centered on development progress to date (60% of the project is complete and ahead of the initial 5-year schedule) tenant mix, pedestrian gathering areas and ongoing improvements to emphasize the “mountain to prairie” architecture and landscape material theme. The development team noted that landscape improvements and pedestrian gathering areas will undergo further development in the spring and summer months of 2018 and tenant mix is consistent with the commercial needs of the community and initial presentation to Council. All agreed the next 2-3 years will allow the site to mature and continued investment will include additional sit-down restaurants and retail sales options. The Promenade team provided updated web page and brochure information as follows:

Flex Office Space PPA:

Staff received a request seeking feedback on construction of approximately 18,000 sq. ft. of flex office space on the I-25 Frontage Road adjacent to World Compass Academy.

Memmen Trails Annexation Request PPA:

Staff received a request seeking feedback on annexation and zoning on property located in the Memmen area. The 15.77 acre development plan includes 180 townhomes accessed off Oman Road along with a small neighborhood commercial site at the northwest corner of the site.

3. Development Activity:

Annexations

• Ridge Estates: 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.
