HomeMy WebLinkAboutRIDGEWOOD HILLS RESIDENCES (4TH FILING) - PDP - 33-10 - CORRESPONDENCE - (60)Middle School Impact
At build out, this development is projected to produce a growth in enrollment of approximately 10 students over the
three middle school grades. At current resident student population levels, and given the fact that there are no active
development projects within the attendance area, it is believed that no relief action will be necessary for the
foreseeable future. As this development does not meet the walk distance criteria as determined by the board of
education, transportation will be required.
High School Impact
At build out, this development is projected to produce a growth in enrollment of approximately 15 students. At current
resident student population levels, and considering that LHS hosts a magnet program, relief action may be required in
the foreseeable future. There are no other active developments within the current attendance area. As this
development does not meet the walk distance criteria as determined by the board of education, transportation will be
required.
Additional Comments
The District's citizen -based Master Plan Committee (MPC) monitors capacity levels at each of the district schools and
makes annual recommendations for responding to projected enrollment changes. In consideration of the probable
impact(s) of this development, the MPC may recommend using one or more of the tools described in Section 7.51
"Accommodating Change", of Master Plan 2010-2011. The selection and timing of the most appropriate tool(s) will be
determined by the Board of Education.
The size and location of this development indicate that the school district land dedication requirement should be made
in the form of payment -in -lieu -of land dedication as per our intergovernmental agreement.

Hills Residences PDP - Type 1 (8 December 2010)
Pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes, the Thompson R2-J School District submits comments describing projected
impacts of proposed developments submitted by statutory authority. Comments reflect information and projections
available at time of referral.
Project Overview
The above -named project will consist of 180 one- and two -bedroom affordable apartments located in the Ridgewood
Hills subdivision, currently within the boundaries of Coyote Ridge Elementary School, Lucile Erwin Middle School, and
Loveland High School. Construction is estimated to begin in 12-18 months, with build out anticipated in 2015.
Impact Overview
Resident populations are within capacity at all levels, and this is not expected to change over the timeframe of this
project. The District anticipates that the overall impact from this project, when viewed from a feeder -system
perspective, will be minimal.
Elementary Impact
At build out, this development is projected to produce a growth in enrollment of approximately 20 students over the six
elementary grades. At current resident student population levels, and given the fact that there are no other
development projects within the attendance area, it is believed that no relief action will be necessary. As this
development meets the walk distance criteria as determined by the board of education, no transportation will be
provided.
