Project Overview

This is a development review application for a proposal to construct a new public park. The subject site is currently undeveloped, and is located north of W 160th Ave and just east of Sheridan Pkwy. Per the submitted application, the new park, Rally Park, is planned as a regional-scale and cultural destination for both Baseline residents and the greater Broomfield community. The Site Development Plan establishes several key features including a signature playground, a restroom pavilion, pickleball courts, a game and sport zone, passive picnic and nature area, and regional trail connections.

The project description provided by the developer, McWhinney, indicates that this project would be completed in a single phase. Furthermore, the project will continue the progression of Parklands improvements, such as Parklands South and The Big Green.

Project Details

Applicant: McWhinney
Location: North Park Filing No 2 Replat D & F
Project Type: Development Review for Park

City and County Staff Analysis

Zoning, Surrounding Uses and Comprehensive Plan: The subject parcel is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD), and is subject to the North Park PUD Plan land use regulations. The proposed park use is consistent with applicable PUD and the existing development pattern in the area, as this will be an extension of the existing park lands to the northeast.

The Broomfield Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the subject property is “Mixed-Use Commercial” and "Open Lands". The open land and park proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for the property.

Parking, Trail Connections, and Park Amenities: Under this proposal, all parking will be accommodated via parallel, on-street, parking on both sides of Promenade Street. The trails that are proposed as part of the Rally Park development will connect to the existing, and future, trails that serve the surrounding area. Park amenities include pickleball courts, a basketball court, picnic areas and shelter, and a large featured playground.

Key Issues

No key issues have been identified at this time. Should any key issues be raised during the review of the project, this section of the page will be updated to reflect such. Those key issues will be shared with City Council as part of the development review staff memorandum.

Process & Next Steps

The Final Plat, Urban Renewal Area Site Plan, and Site Development Plan are currently being reviewed by all applicable referral agencies. Final Plats and Site Development Plans are reviewed by the Land Use Review Commission at a public hearing, where the Commission votes to approve (with or without conditions) or deny the request.

The Site Development Plan is approximately 10.75 acres, and since the project area greater than 7 acres in size the final review of the proposal will be by the City Council.
