RE: Minor Subdivision Plat Submittal - Front Range Community College
Mr. Lorson:
On behalf of Front Range Community College, we are submitting a Minor Subdivision
Plat which includes the parking improvements under construction at the intersection of
South Shields Street and Clarendon Hills Drive. This submittal follows the approval of the
new parking lot through the SPAR process earlier this year. During that process, the
division of land was facilitated as a “non-regulated land use” in order to expedite the sale
and transfer of land between the owner, Peak Community Church and Front Range
Community College.
The review and subsequent approval of the new parking lot through the City’s SPAR
process allowed the College to build additional parking spaces allowing for the future
expansion the campus. The new parking area is entirely contained on 4.22 acres of a
larger 7.62 acre site. As you may recall, several meetings were held with the adjoining
Homeowner Association during which concerns were expressed about the larger property
being developed for either parking or some other use associated with Front Range
Community College. Wishing to remain as a good neighbor, the College decided to only
purchase the northern portion of the property and not the 7.62 acre assemblage.
The Minor Subdivision Plat will create two separate lots, one containing the current
parking area approved by the City and a second parcel remaining as an undeveloped lot
and owned by the original seller, Peak Community Church. Other than the creation of
these two lots, no modifications or change of use to the approved parking lot are intended
with this submittal.
Thank you for your consideration,
Mark Kieffer, AICP
