This project was received a recommendation for approval from the Land Use Review Commission (LURC) during public hearing on Monday, March 23rd, 2026.
Project Overview
This is a proposal to convert the existing building at 1270 E 1st Avenue into a bank, Wells Fargo, with an ATM drive-through lane around the west side of the site. The required concept review for this development project was waived due to the proposed use being consistent with permitted land uses and overall intent of both the Broomfield Town Centre PUD and the Comprehensive Plan land use map designation. A Use by Special Review shall be required for the proposed drive-thru lane.
Project Details
Applicant: Wallace Design Collective, PC Location: 1270 E 1st Avenue Project Type: Site Development Plan/ Urban Renewal Site Plan
City and County Staff Analysis
Zoning, Surrounding Uses and Comprehensive Plan: The zoning for this parcel is PUD. It is located in the Broomfield Town Centre Planned Unit Development (PUD) Plan Area. The proposal is consistent with the Broomfield Comprehensive Plan land use map designation of "Commercial". Site Circulation, Parking and Multimodal Access: Access to the existing parking lot will be generally unaltered. The ATM drive-through will be a one-way drive that circulates around the west side of the building to the ATM window near the southeast corner of the building. There are 62 existing parking spaces on the site. The submitted SDP proposes reducing parking to accommodate increased landscaping areas and the drive-through lane. The SDP proposes removing 20 spaces, leaving a total of 42 parking spaces.
Landscaping, Open Lands, Parks and Trail Amenities: The new ATM drive-through lane around the west side of the building would effectively eliminate the existing landscape buffer on the west side of the site. Per the submitted landscape plan, new shrubs and trees will be planted along the drive-through lane.
Deviations and Possible Key Issues:
Staff has identified the following key issue for the proposed development:
The applicant is requesting a deviation for parking to exceed the maximum number of parking spaces. The deviation request would allow for 42 total parking spaces, instead of the maximum 20 spaces as established by the subject PRA. The applicant is reducing the existing parking by 20 spaces with the redevelopment, resulting in the 42 requested parking spaces.
Public Engagement Summary

Public notices were be sent to property owners within 1,000 feet of this project, sign(s) were posted on the property and a notice was published in the Broomfield Enterprise newspaper.
