APPLICANT: Wonderland Hill Development CO.

Boulder, CO. 80304
LAND USE DATA:
Request for mixed -use development on 1.9 acres located south of Martinez Park (a
City -owned neighborhood park), north of Cherry Street, west of North College Avenue,
and east of North Sherwood Street. The proposal is for office, retail, and residential
uses on Lot 12 (at the east end) of the approved Martinez PUD. The property is zoned
LMN — Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood.
COMMENTS:
1. Gary Lopez of the Zoning Department offered the following comments:
a. The property is in the LMN — Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood
Zoning District. Section 4.4 of the Land Use Code (LUC) limits the amount
of retail and commercial uses that can occur in this District. It may be
necessary to submit a request for a modification of standard(s),
depending on the nature of the Project Development Plan (PDP) and
proposed uses.
b. The proposed 30 parking spaces off -site, on the Martinez Park property,
may be problematic. They may have to be considered an accessory use
to the park and the location is somewhat detached from the active areas
of the park.
C. Maybe this property should be rezoned into the Downtown District.
