Application Status: Approved by City Council on August 8, 2023. Developer's construction timing is unknown.

Location: The subject proposal is located within the Baseline development northeast of Sheridan Parkway and W. 160th Avenue. The location is highlighted with a purple oval on the adjacent map.

Project Type: Open Lands and Trails Amenity

Project Description: The subject proposal is for an open lands and trails amenity within the Baseline master-planned community. The proposal encompasses an approximately 12-acre property designed for the stormwater management and recreational needs of the community. The plans depict:

  • grading improvements along the Preble Creek drainageway;
  • landscaping improvements including street trees along the west perimeter (street trees along the south will be done with the adjacent roadway improvements), cottonwood trees along the drainageway, and native seed to stabilize the slopes; and
  • a new 12-foot concrete regional trail with a 3-foot crusher fines path running parallel to the concrete trail. This southern segment of the regional trail will extend from W. 160th Avenue on the south to the future location of Preble Creek Parkway to the north. The future parkway will bisect the open lands and the future trail extension will pass below the parkway. In the near term, the regional trail will tie in with a second 10-foot wide trail extending along the east side of future Promenade Street to create a looped trail amenity.

The extension of the open lands and regional trail amenity will be phased over time and will eventually extend to the northeast to Colorado Highway 7. A public park is planned in a separate phase to the north. The open lands and trail amenities will be accessible to the public.

Note: North is to the right in the image above.
