Long Range Financial Plan: The area is currently Mixed-Use Commercial in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. Mixed-Use Commercial parcels do allow residential properties though the PUD process. Though residential is allowed, the Long Range Financial Plan does expect some commercial aspect on the land. This proposal is not consistent with the assumptions in the Financial Plan.

Variances: The project has included three variances from the Broomfield Municipal Code. 

Setback Variance: The Interchange Influence Area (IIA) has a 30’ setback from all property lines. The applicant has requested a reduced setback of up to 12’ for parking to meet site constraints. Landscaping will screen the parking areas. Building setbacks will remain at 30’ as specified within the code. 

Fence Variance: The IIA states fencing must be brick, masonry, stone, architectural block or wrought iron. The applicant has requested other fencing materials such as wood, steel and aluminum. 

Preliminary Plat Variance: The applicant has requested a variance from the rule to provide a preliminary plat as part of the PUD Plan. The applicant has included a final plat,. This includes the information shown on a preliminary plat and as such another plat is not necessary. 


Potential Key Issues for Discussion:

  • Negative impact on the Long Range Financial Plan
