The Broomfield Town Square Alliance, Broomfield's development partner, submitted a land-use development application for the Broomfield Town Square on January 27, 2021. The application has been referred for the initial 30-day review and comment by staff and external agencies. The overall process typically requires several months of coordination on the review and revisions and culminates with public hearings before the Planning and Zoning Commission (a recommending body) and City Council (final decision authority).
There are no public hearings currently scheduled. This page will be updated once hearing dates are available. Public notice will be provided in advance of the hearings.

The guiding principles and preliminary vision for the Broomfield Town Square emerged through a series of community focus sessions held in January 2017 and shared at a community presentation in February 2017. The Guiding Principles called for creating:
- A signature Town Square that is uniquely Broomfield.
- An authentic Town Square for the Broomfield community including a curated mix of retail/restaurants - ideally local and unique to the area.
- An interconnected and pedestrian-friendly network of streets, promenades, trails, and public spaces to knit the Town Square into the surrounding community.
- A built environment that encourages a healthy lifestyle and community and incorporates opportunities for public art.
- A Town Square that embodies resilient and environmentally sustainable strategies into the construction and function of the public realm and built environment.
Civitas, an urban and landscape design firm, was selected to prepare conceptual plans and a video of the Civic Center (now referred to as the Broomfield Town Square). The video and graphics were shared with the community in 2018 (see Project Timeline for links). The initial plans envisioned:
- A substantially enlarged Community Park Pond wrapping around the Library and Auditorium towards E. 1st Avenue
- Extensive plaza and walking areas including outdoor dining, entertainment areas and public art
- Approximately 50,000 sf of retail and restaurant uses, a 100-room inn, 22 row-houses, approximately 365 dwelling units, re-purposing of the Safeway building into 25,000 sf of retail, 15,000 sf of co-working space, 10,000 sf of community space and 10,000 sf of common area. The plans depicted mixed-use buildings with ground-floor commercial/restaurant space and residential on the upper floors.

These discussions include the formation of a new urban renewal district, and formation of a metropolitan district and likely a business improvement district, all of which are necessary to address the financial gap. Staff will be requesting in May, approval of a pre-development agreement with the development partners that will obligate Broomfield to provide $400,000 for additional civil engineering and design services. These additional services will allow for refinement of cost estimates, enhancing confidence for all parties on the financial risks involved.
A timeline for the overall project may be viewed
here.
At the conclusion of the steps outlined in the MOU, it is expected that a development agreement will be drafted and considered by the parties with firm commitments for the project plan, financing plan, timeline, and final product in October of this year. Discussion on zoning strategies are also underway and preparation of zoning documents will commence shortly.
