Summary:
Owner: Walt Colorado LLC
Developer: Clayton Properties Group II, Inc. DBS Oakwood Homes of Colorado Springs
Representative: LAI Design Group
Location: Northeast of Dublin Boulevard and Banning Lewis Parkway
The project consists of approximately 511.20 acres, located in the northeast corner of Banning Lewis Parkway and Dublin Boulevard. The Major Master Plan Amendment proposes a revision of the previous land use designations. There are two zone change requests associated with this application: one proposes to change the approximate 501.99 acres from PDZ/R-5/CR/R-1 6/MX-M/CR/AP-O/SS-O (Planned Development Zone District; Multi-Family High with Conditions of Record; Single-Family - Medium; Mixed-Use Medium Scale with Conditions of Record, and Airport and Streamside Overlays) to PDZ/AP-O/SS-O (Planned Development Zone District and Airport and Streamside Overlays: Residential, density of 3.5-7.99 du/ac, and maximum building height of 35 feet). The second rezone application proposes changing 9.2 acres from PDZ/R-5/CR/AP-O/SS-O (Planned Development Zone District; Multi-Family High with Conditions of Record, and Airport and Streamside Overlays) to MX-M/AP-O/SS-O (Mixed-Use Medium Scale and Airport and Streamside Overlays). Concurrent Concept Plans illustrate the envisioned commercial and residential developments with proposed access, roadway extensions, and connections to future development beyond the limits of the project. The project includes a concurrent request for an approximate 35.856-acre, cumulative, right-of-way vacation affecting previously platted portions of Banning Lewis Parkway, Dublin Boulevard, and Vista Del Oro Boulevard, which was platted with the Banning Lewis Ranch Filing No. 1 and No. 3.
Background:
Please see the attached City Planning Commission Staff Report for a complete analysis of the proposed application(s).
The review criteria for a Concept Plan set forth in City Code Section 7.5.501 (previous City Code Chapter 7) are noted below.
1. Will the proposed development have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare and safety or convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed development?
2. Will the proposed density, types of land uses and range of square footages permit adequate light and air both on and off the site?
3. Are the permitted uses, bulk requirements and required landscaping appropriate to the type of development, the neighborhood and the community?
4. Are the proposed ingress/egress points, traffic circulation, parking areas, loading and service areas and pedestrian areas designed to promote safety, convenience and ease of traffic flow and pedestrian movement both on and off the site?
5. Will the proposed development overburden the capacities of existing streets, utilities, parks, schools and other public facilities?
6. Does the proposed development promote the stabilization and preservation of the existing properties in adjacent areas and surrounding residential neighborhoods?
7. Does the concept plan show how any potentially detrimental use to use relationships (e.g., commercial use adjacent to single-family homes) will be mitigated? Does the development provide a gradual transition between uses of differing intensities?
8. Is the proposed concept plan in conformance with all requirements of this Zoning Code, the Subdivision Code and with all applicable elements of the Comprehensive Plan?
Staff finds that the proposed applications meets the review criteria.
