Prior Concept Reviews for Palisade Park North:
The applicant and property owner held two concept reviews for the Palisade Park North project area in 2021. The first concept review was held on January 15, 2021 for the proposed SunCap development (Council memorandum available here) totaling approximately 526,000 square feet. The surrounding community expressed a number of concerns regarding the proposed light industrial development as it was presented.

The second concept review was held on June 15, 2021 for the overall Palisade Park North project area (Council memorandum available here). This concept review reflected a redesign to the site in response to the comments provided by the community and City Council. This plan reoriented the light industrial / distribution warehouse uses to abut I-25, added multi-family residential uses along Huron Street and incorporated flex office uses as a transition between the proposed residential and the light industrial uses.

Consistency with Zoning and Comprehensive Plan:
The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD), and is governed by both the Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the Palisade Park Planned Unit Development (PUD) Plan. The PUD Plan currently allows for a maximum of 350 residential units within the area governed by the fifth and sixth amendments. There are currently 331 approved residential units within the area governed by these two amendments. As such, the applicant’s current proposal is not consistent with the underlying PUD Plan, and an amendment to add additional residential units to the development.

The entire project area is designated as Mixed Use Commercial on the 2016 Broomfield Comprehensive Plan’s Land Use Map. Multi-family residential, flex office and light industrial as well as warehouse uses are all consistent with those anticipated to be seen in these mixed use commercial areas. As such, the proposed development is consistent with the Broomfield Comprehensive Plan.

Consistency with Long Range Financial Plan:
The proposed development is consistent with the underlying land use assumptions in the LRFP.

Anticipated Key Issues/Comments: At this time has not identified any specific concerns that would be raised as a key issue; however, as the project progresses through the review process items may be identified as key issues that would be included in staff memorandums to the Land Use Review Commission and/or City Council.
