Purpose and Request:
recommended action
Highland Development Company (applicant), on behalf of five property owners, is requesting approval for Rezoning and a General Development Plan (GDP) for eight parcels, of approximately 10.7 acres, located south of the intersection of South Platte Canyon Road and West Mineral Drive. The applicant is requesting a rezone of the property from Mixed Use, Residential 1-A, and Open Space to Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow single-family attached and townhome products at a density of up to 16 dwelling units per acre. The applicant has indicated that they plan to develop at a density of 4 to 6 dwellings per acre, but they are seeking higher density to allow flexibility in the future. The GDP proposes two access points, open space, including a pocket park, and stormwater detention.

If this application is approved, the development will require approval of additional applications, including: a Specific Development Plan (SDP), a Preliminary Subdivision Plat, an Administrative Site Plan (ASP), and a Final Subdivision Plat. Attached to this report is the proposed General Development Plan. Planning Commission and staff recommend the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed Rezoning to Planned Unit Development and General Development Plan.
