The proposed use within this plan are an expansion of an already existing use and consistent with this zone district. No new uses are proposed. The project expansion will be completed in three phases. The exact timing of the phases will depend on market conditions but are anticipated to be within the next few years. Phase one will be initiated as soon as approval is obtained through the City. A landscape phasing plan has been prepared to illustrate the relationship between landscape installation and construction, of each of the three phases. A broad landscape buffer will be provided between Buckingham Street, Linden Street and associated parking areas and buildings. Along Buckingham Street a detention pond will provide a landscape area between the street and warehouse/service loading areas. Adjacent to Linden Street, a broad bermed landscape setback will allow for ample buffering. Circulation is divided into two basic components. The first is visitor parking which is existing. The second will be expanded employee parking. The employee parking will generally fall on the north areas of the site and will be adjacent to an existing drainage ditch and a service drive that accesses a City facility. Road improvements will be phased to correspond with individual building construction phases. 4. The only existing wetlands on the site occur adjacent to an irrigation ditch that will not be affected as part of this design. Existing lime tailings are not located on this site and will not be disturbed as part of this project. The New Belgium Brewing Company currently employs 55 employees. At the completion of phase three expansion the number of employees will rise to ninety. New Belgium currently runs one shift and it is anticipated that this will continue for the proposed expansion. 6. Phasing is illustrated based on a logical sequence of growth that allows for adequate brewing, fermentation, warehousing, and distribution of New Belgium products. There are no known conflicts between adjacent land uses, or wetlands that will be affected as part of this project.
