HomeMy WebLinkAboutPOUDRE DEVELOPMENT REZONE - 1-01 - MINUTES/NOTES - CORRESPONDENCE-NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGA: New Belgium has submitted an amended Overall Development Plan which will
be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board in the next month or two.
13. Will this include their brewery water treatment facility?
A: Not at the O.D.P. stage. The treatment facility will be a separate development
proposal known as a Project Development Plan.
14. What about the downtown kayak course on the river?
A: This has been looked at but there are no final plans at this time.
4. Would construction of this parcel require fill dirt like Wal-Mart?
A. I do not know at this time. Development would have to comply with all the
floodplain regulations of the City.
5. Who are the owners?
A: Mr. Keifer and Mr. Chandler have formed a corporation which owns the parcel.
6. What's the difference between an Administrative review and a Planning and
Zoning Board review?
A. An Administrative review is conducted by an Hearing Officer or the Planning
Director whereas a Planning and Zoning Board review is conducted by the
Planning and Zoning Board. Both are public hearings. Both require the green
sign to be posted, a legal notice in the paper, and a letter to the affected property
owners. The decision of both hearings can be appealed.
7. What uses do you envision?
A. At this time I can only guess that development would be some form of mixed use.
8. Why not make this parcel an extension of Gustav Swanson?
A: This has been considered. At this time, the owners and the City have not agreed
to such a transaction.
9. When will Buckingham be widened?
A: Buckingham is classified as a collector street. Developers are responsible for
improving their abutting portion of the roadway and any off -site improvements as
required to mitigate their traffic impacts. If there are no developers to do their
share of the widening, then the City could do it as a capital project.
10. Would this include sidewalks?
A: Yes, but if done by developers, then only on the side of the development.
11. It looks like half the site was cleaned up and the other half is still covered in
branches and other stuff. What about all this other stuff?
A: I will pass this concern along to the owners.
12. What about the New Belgium Brewery expansion?

The meeting began with a description of the request to rezone the property out of the

The property was originally zoned I-G, General Industrial. It was then down -zoned in
1996 to R-C, River Corridor in order to implement the Downtown Plan and the Poudre
River Trust Land Use Policy Plan. During the 1997 city-wide rezoning for City Plan, the
parcel was put into the T, Transition zone. Unless otherwise noted, all responses are
from the consultant.

What about the proposed dike that will take our neighborhood out of the
floodplain?

stage. There are no immediate plans for this project.
