Statement of Planning Objectives
New Belgium Brewing Company — Packaging Hall
(i) Statement of appropriate City Plan Principals and Policies
The proposed Packaging Hall is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan as per the following
• The Packaging Hall is being developed as part of the new Belgium Brewing Company
ODP. The project will comply with the city code and the requirements set forth in the
ODP. Bicycle and pedestrian access as well as connectivity to the existing facility to the
west will be very important in the design. There are some riparian habitats on site, most of
which are being protected with the new design.
(ii) Open Space, Buffering, Landscaping, Circulation, Transition Areas, Wetlands and Natural Areas
Open Space:
• Significant amounts of open space will be developed on the south half of the property to allow
for detention, provide recreation space, and the allow for an appropriate amount of
landscaping to screen the Packaging hall from the residents to the south.
Buffering:
• A substantial amount of open space and landscaping will buffer the new building from the
residential to the south. Views of the parking area will also be buffered.
Landscaoina:
• Appropriate landscaping will be installed in the parking area, around the building, and at the
entrances.
Circulation:
• Site will be accessed by truck east of the existing process water treatment facility. The trucks
will exit onto Linden and head north. Truck traffic will not be allowed on Buckinham street
west of the Process water treatment facility entrance. Employee traffic will access the site off of
Buckingham street. Handicap accessible parking will exist off of the existing access east of the
existing brewery. Other employee parking access will exist further east. An 8 foot wide
pedestrian/bicycle path is proposed along the south side of the property. Pedestrian access
will be provided from the employee parking areas to the Packaging hall, as well as, the
existing brewery.
Wetlands and Natural Areas:
• There are minor wetlands on site that have been determined to not be of importance and not
worth protecting. There are also some areas of riparian forest on site. Most of these forest
areas are being protected, those that are not will be mitigated.
(iii) Proposed ownership and maintenance of public and private open space areas.
• A master association for the entire campus will maintain the site.
(iv) Estimate of Number of Employees for Commercial and Industrial Uses
• New Belgium Brewery currently employs 220 people with 160 of those working on site. The
current packaging line runs 24 hours a day 5 days a week. Initially the new packaging hall
will operate 24 hours a day for 3 days a week. The number of employees will remain the
