Executive Summary
The ordinance was approved on first reading on February 21, 2023 with a vote of 7 - 0, with no changes.
At the request of the applicant, Canyons South, LLC., Town Council voted to continue the Canyons Far South Planned Development Plan and Zoning Regulations public hearing scheduled for January 3, 2023 to February 21, 2023. The purpose for the continuance was to allow additional time to address external referral comments from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The responses to CDOT’s comments are summarized on page 16 of this staff report.
Canyons South, LLC. has submitted a Petition for Annexation and accompanying plat map (Attachment B) and is requesting approval of the Canyons Far South Annexation, a 409-acre property located northeast of the intersection of Founders Parkway and Crimson Sky Drive (Attachment A). The applicant proposes to zone the property as a planned development (PD), and is seeking approval of the Canyons Far South Planned Development Plan and Zoning Regulations (Attachment C and D).
Budget Impact
The proposed annexation and zoning will generate review fees. In addition, there are DA obligations and impact fees required at the time of annexation and with future site plans, plats and subdivision improvement obligations that will offset Town costs.
The 5-mill Regional Mill Levy to be remitted to the Town on an annual basis will defray costs incurred by the Town in providing public services and improvements related to the development.
