Homestead at Clarendon Hills
Design Narrative
Project Title: Homestead at Clarendon Hills
Past Meeting Dates: Conceptual Review October 29, 2018
Zoning: Low Density Residential (RL)
Hearing Type: Type I
General Information: The site is approximately 3.27 AC with residential uses proposed
(single family detached). The zone district is Low Density Residential (RL) which is primarily
intended for single family detached housing. This small undeveloped parcel within the
existing single-family subdivision will include eight (8) lots, open space, a historical plaque
and a trail connection.
Clarendon Hills Drive and Langdale Drive are existing neighborhood streets that the
proposed lots will take their access from. There is an existing detached walk along
Clarendon Hills Drive which transitions to an attached walk along Langdale Drive. A six-foot
soft surface trail is proposed along the eastern property boundary which will provide a
connection from the neighborhood, through Front Range Community College (FRCC) and
beyond to other City trails.
A soft surface loop is proposed along the western edge near the grove of Cottonwood trees.
Natural stone benches are planned as well as a historical plaque describing the history of
the site. The natural features on-site will be preserved and areas of disturbance will be
restored with native grasses. This open space area will also serve as a buffer between the
rear lot lines and the FRCC parking lot located on the north side of the property.
Uses surrounding the property consist of the following:
South: Existing Clarendon Hills subdivision
West: Shields Street
North: Front Range Community College
East: Existing Clarendon Hills subdivision
The project will be designed to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods as
required by the City Code. Architectural compatibility will be achieved by incorporating
design elements from the surrounding neighborhood such as building materials, horizontal
elements, fenestration and roof lines.
