Purpose and Request:
recommended action
The applicant, Carrick Engineering Corp, on behalf of the owner, K & F Properties, is processing a Minor Subdivision to formally plat this 6.41-acre parcel so that the property can be developed. The project is located at 58975 U.S. Highway 36 in Strasburg; parcel ID 1983-00-0-00-223. The owner proposes to construct a 10,500-square-foot building for light industrial metal fabrication. This would occur under a separate application for an Administrative Site Plan once the property is legally platted.

Alignment with Strategic Plan: Good Governance - Plan for future service, infrastructure, and fiscal needs.
Background and Discussion: The parcel is located approximately one mile east of Strasburg. Currently, the property contains a commercial shop building, truck parking, and outdoor storage, all with direct access to U.S. Highway 36. The current zoning classification is B-4 (Specialty Commercial District), which permits both the existing and planned uses of the property.
Arapahoe County approved a rezoning of the property from A-2 agricultural to B-4 on October 21, 1974 (Case No. Z74-010). The land has never been officially subdivided in accordance with the Arapahoe County Land Development Code; according to county records, the parcel was created in 1978. If this case is approved, it will make the property eligible for future development. Staff has reviewed this application against the subdivision standards in the Land Development Code and believes the proposed subdivision meets the criteria.
A public hearing for this application was held before the Planning Commission on October 7, 2025. A detailed explanation of how this application conforms to the Comprehensive Plan and complies with the Land Development Code can be found in the attached staff report to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed Minor Subdivision in a 5-0 vote. No members of the public spoke regarding this item.
Alternatives: The Board of County Commissioners has alternatives that include the following:
1. Approve the proposed Minor Subdivision with Conditions of Approval as recommended by staff or with changes.
2. Continue to a date certain for more information.
3. Deny the Minor Subdivision.
Fiscal Impact: None.
Alignment with Strategic Implementation Strategies: This proposal is a quasi-judicial application and is evaluated against criteria in the Land Development Code .

1.) Prior to the signature of the final copy of these plans, the applicant will address all Public Works and Development Staff comments.
