Project Description

Applicant: Foundation Automotive

Interchange Influence Area: The subject property is identified as being within the Interchange Influence Area (IIA), and is subject to the Broomfield Municipal Code Chapter 17-29 which provides for development requirements and lists prohibited uses within this overlay district. Automobile sales or storage is listed as a prohibited use. The intent of the IIA designation is to foster high quality development in the area of the interchange of the Northwest Parkway and US 36. The IIA specifically prohibits automobile sales or storage. If the project proceeds, a SDP/URSP/USR and PUD plan would include a request for a variation from this provision of the overlay district.

Conformance with the Zoning and Compatibility with Surrounding Uses: The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) - no plan (NP) and is subject to the US 36 West Corridor Urban Renewal Plan (URP) and the Interchange Influence Area. Design guidelines require that the buildings are oriented towards the highway and that parking is screened and setback. Automobile-related uses require use by special review permit, per the US 36 West Corridor URP, in conjunction with the urban renewal site plan.

The adjacent uses include an office/warehouse immediately to the southeast. To the northwest, there is a Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)-owned 1.61-acre lot with a detention pond and a Broomfield-owned lot that is used for a lift station that serves Interlocken. US Highway 36 is to the south of Industrial Lane. The proposed use appears to be compatible with the surrounding uses.

The Comprehensive Plan designation for the property is "Industrial", which are areas characterized by light and heavy industrial, office, manufacturing, research and development, warehousing, and some commercial uses. 

The formal development review application for a PUD and urban renewal site plan (URSP)/use by special review (USR) should identify setbacks, site design, allowed uses, and establish the architectural design. Per the Urban Renewal Plan, parking should be screened from views along the US 36 Highway Corridor.

Per the US 36 West Corridor Urban Renewal Plan Design Standards: 

  1. Set back parking spaces located along Industrial Lane and include landscape buffering. As expected for a car dealership, the inventory parking is located along the perimeter of the site, with the sales/showroom and service building oriented at the eastern portion of the lot with parking for customers and inventory along Industrial Lane.

  2. Orient buildings towards the front of the lot, which in this case is US Highway 36. The conceptual drawings show the building's front elevation oriented towards US Highway 36/Industrial Lane with parking for inventory and customers and landscaping along the frontage. The building includes glazing along the frontage with fenestration through different building/architectural finishes. 

  3. Create a pedestrian-friendly image along the street frontages. This can include windows for the front-facing buildings and other architectural features. The concept plans shows a regional trail segment running parallel to US Highway 36 and Industrial Lane. This property fronts a planned route for a regional bike path. Sidewalks that provide safe pedestrian access into and throughout the site should also be shown on the URSP/USR when this project is submitted for formal development review.

  4. Design the on-site detention pond to resemble a natural water body; this could include keeping the existing contours of the site. The onsite detention pond is shown conceptually on the west side of the building. The design of the detention pond will be carefully reviewed during the formal development review process.

Access, Parking, Landscaping, and Setbacks:  One point of access is proposed from Industrial Lane. Drive aisles provide circulation into and throughout the site. Inventory parking, customer and employee parking, and electric vehicle parking will be evaluated based on the code requirements. Currently, parking for inventory is shown at the western portion of the lot with customer and employee parking shown at the southern elevation of the sales/showroom and service station building. 

Landscaping in the form of trees, ornamental grasses, and shrubs is shown around the perimeter of the site. Landscaping is especially concentrated along the front street edge of the lot.

Sidewalk/trail and Industrial Lane Improvements: Right-of-way dedication for improvements along Industrial Lane would be required via the final plat/ replat.

Water and Utilities  Any new construction will require that the building tie into the water and sewer lines that are in close proximity to the subject site. Utility, drainage, and geotechnical reports will be required to be submitted with the formal development review application. 

Drainage and Detention The detention pond is shown conceptually to be located at the northwest portion of the site. Further review of the detention pond to ensure that it meets the intent of the design criteria of the urban renewal plan will take place during the formal development review process.

Signage - Corporate signage is shown on the building elevation and at the entrance. All signs are subject to a separate sign permit.

Long-Range Financial Plan The proposed uses are consistent with the land use assumptions identified within the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. There is no anticipated impact on the Long Range Financial Plan.

Potential Key Issues for Discussion: Staff has preliminarily identified the following key issue with regard to this proposal:

  • Automobile uses are listed as a prohibited use in the Interchange Influence Area, Chapter 17-29 of the Broomfield Municipal Code. The PUD plan should include a request for a variance to allow for the auto dealership.

Further review will take place during the formal development application review for a PUD Plan, Use by Special Review and URSP/SDP.

Project Status: This project is under the formal review phase.
