Project Overview

This is a proposal for a flex industrial building to be located at 255 Interlocken Blvd within the Interlocken subdivision and Planned Unit Development (PUD) plan area. The proposed site development plan (SDP) would consist of two separate buildings that are connected by an access drive to the west of the buildings. The two buildings would be a total of approximately 167,000 square feet. The spaces would be designed to accommodate a range of uses, including office space, research and development, light manufacturing, and warehouse/distribution functions.

A SDP was previously approved for the subject site in 2022. The approved SDP, Innovation Campus, did not move forward to construction.

Project Details

Applicant: Lincoln Property Company
Location: 255 Interlocken Blvd
Project Type: Commercial - Industrial

City and County Staff Analysis

Zoning, Surrounding Uses and Comprehensive Plan: The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and is governed by the Interlocken Advanced Technology Environment PUD Plan - Sixth Amendment. The PUD allows for a mixture of land uses including: Research and Development (R&D) facilities including (but not limited to) those related to high-technology, computer hardware and software development, and bio-medical research; Corporate and Professional Offices includings single building or corporate campus style developments, and other Commercial/Retail Uses. The developer's proposed uses are consistent with those permitted in the PUD Plan.

The 2016 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the two parcels within this proposed project area as "Mixed Use Commercial," the proposed development is consistent with the anticipated uses in this land use category and as such is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

Site Circulation, Parking and Multimodal Access: Vehicular access will be provided via two entrances from Interlocken Blvd, offering both ingress and egress at both entrances. The proposed development would provide 432 on-site parking spaces. A 21 foot-tall retaining wall is proposed between the two buildings to accommodate the grade change on the site. The proposed site plan can be found in the documents section on the right side of this page.

Landscaping, Trail Amenities, and Architecture: A pedestrian and bicycle trail will connect the site to the existing Interlocken trail network west of the subject site. The landscaping plan will be reviewed to ensure compliance with Broomfield's landscape code requirements. The conceptual building elevations show that the proposed buildings would be 48 feet tall, and include truck courts on south faces of each building.

Potential Deviations: A deviation for parking to exceed the maximum permitted number of spaces would be required based on the conceptual site plan. Per the Broomfield Municipal Code, 167,000 square feet of industrial building space would allow for a maximum of 168 parking spaces. The deviation would request 432 parking spaces, instead of the maximum permitted 168.

Possible Key Issues: The proposed number of parking spaces exceeds what would be allowed on the subject site. If this project moves forward, a justification for the needed deviation will be required as part of the formal development application submittal.

Public Engagement

You can engage with this project using the Questions and Comments tabs below, or by emailing planning@broomfield.org. Since this is an online concept, there will be no publicly noticed meeting. All engagement will take place virtually. Public notices will be sent to property owners within 1,000 feet of this project. The online concept will be open and accepting feedback and questions until April 27th, 2026.

Concept reviews are the first step in the land development process. Concept reviews allow developers an opportunity to introduce their development proposal and receive initial feedback from City Council, Broomfield Boards and Commissions (including the Land Use Review Commission) and community members. This step in the process does not approve or deny the proposal but instead helps the developer to take feedback into consideration while they refine their development proposal prior to the formal development application. This step in the development process is the best time to share concerns or comments as it allows the developer the most time to consider changes in response to the feedback they receive.

The project timeline on this page provides an overview of the next steps in the development process should the developer choose to move forward with their proposal.
