Project Details

Applicant: Broomfield Housing Alliance
Location: 6900 and 7000 W 119th Avenue
Project Type: Income aligned housing development

City and County Staff Analysis

Zoning, Surrounding Uses and Comprehensive Plan: The subject parcels are zoned PUD and are a part of the Vista Pointe PUD Plan. This PUD was amended in June, 2024 to add income aligned multi-family residential as a permitted use on these two lots.

The comprehensive plan land use designation for these two properties is Mixed-Use Commercial. Income aligned multi-family residential is consistent with this land use designation.

There are a mix of uses surrounding this property. These include residential and commercial (retail, office and flex warehousing) uses. There is another existing residential use to the west (The Friends of Broomfield home).

Site Circulation, Parking and Multimodal Access: The conceptual proposal for this development includes access from W 119th Avenue. The proposal includes 55 parking spaces, including 2 EV-installed parking spaces.

The project is proposed to include bike storage and a maintenance room. The project site is located one block west of the RTD bus route 120 stop on Main Street, and is approximately 0.6 miles walking distance to the potential Northwest Rail/Front Range Passenger Rail station at W 116th Avenue.

This proposal includes a potential variance for parking. The need for this variance is under review by staff and may change pending any updates to the Broomfield parking code.

Income Aligned Housing, Density, and Unit Type: The project description submitted by the applicant outlines that the project includes 55 units for households earning between 30%-60% AMI. This is approximately 30 dwelling units per acre on a 1.82 acre site. The building includes a mix of 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom units, targeted for working families.

Landscaping, Open Lands, Parks and Trail Amenities: The proposed site plan includes 24,922 square feet of Open Area including a courtyard that would include a community garden, playground, tables and seating, and other amenities for residents.

Public Land Dedication: The conceptual plan includes a proposed public land dedication of 0.38 acres. The PLD can potentially be met with an on-site dedication or a cash-in-lieu payment depending on the site-specific context. The specifics of this land dedication are under review by staff as a part of this concept plan review.

Potential Variance and Key Issue: This proposed development would require one variance:

• A variance to increase the maximum height of the building from 40-feet to 50-feet. As a part of this application, the applicant will be asked to justify this variance and to demonstrate if there are any shadow impacts on surrounding properties.

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 May 16th, 2025.

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.
