Relation to Guiding Plans and Existing Uses

2016 Comprehensive Plan: The Broomfield Comprehensive Plan designation is "Industrial." This designation calls for light and heavy industrial, office, manufacturing, research, and development facilities, warehousing, and some limited commercial uses. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that industrial uses should be adequately buffered from incompatible uses.

The Industrial land use designation in the Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address an intent for allowing residential uses. However, Broomfield’s industrial zones allow live/work residential within industrial areas, so limited residential within employment/industrial areas is not entirely inconsistent with the vision for the area. To clarify and ensure conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, a land use map amendment to change the designation to mixed-use commercial is proposed to reflect better the requested land uses of limited residential and commercial uses on the site.

Long Range Financial Plan: The proposal is inconsistent with the land use assumptions in the Long Range Financial Plan. The original land use assumption was for non-residential uses.

Neighborhood Compatibility & Context: The property is subject to the Original Broomfield Neighborhood Plan. The area is transitioning from legacy Jefferson County light industrial uses to industrial flex uses.

The mixed uses - apartments and offices - may provide a transition.

Variance: No variances are requested as a part of the Acacia Garden Planned Unit Development Plan process.
