PF25-003, Hart-Brown Subdivision, Filing 2- Final Plat

Purpose and Request:
recommended action
The applicant, Valentia Farms LLC, is seeking approval to combine two lots into one on a property located at 2155 S. Valentia Street. This request would replat Lots 8 & 9 of the Hart-Brown Subdivision, Filing #2, to create one contiguous lot in order to bring the parcel into conformance with Land Development Code allowances. There is currently an existing building that sits on the property line which renders it nonconforming with setbacks from property lines. Removing the property line and combining the lots put the existing building into compliance with setback requirements. A final plat review is necessary for this application as two parcels need to be combined into a single lot, in addition to new easements that are being created by this plat and dedicated to Arapahoe County.

Alignment with Strategic Plan: Good Governance - Plan for future service, infrastructure, and fiscal needs.
Background and Discussion: The Hart-Brown Subdivision was recorded on May 12, 1958, under reception number 643590 and the site is zoned I-1 Light Industrial.
The Hart-Brown Subdivision Filing No. 2 was initiated in order to correct a nonconforming setback issue so the property could be developed. Currently, the property line between Lots 8 and 9 bisect an existing building. Under current regulations, a building is nonconforming if it does not meet minimum setbacks from property lines. Because of this, the property is not in conformance; due to the building’s noncompliance, it can’t meet setbacks. By combining the two lots into one, the property will be brought into conformance, as the owners wish to develop the property into a pickleball complex in the future.
The proposed replat complies with the Arapahoe County Comprehensive Plan, the Four Square Mile Subarea Plan, and the Subdivision Regulations in the Land Development Code as explained in the attached staff report.

Alignment with Strategic Implementation Strategies: This proposal is a quasi-judicial application and is evaluated against criteria in the Land Development Code.
