Colorado 80522 SERVICES, PLANNING DEPARTMENT Interstate Lands Tract B Zoning - #39-88 P & Z Meeting - January 23, 1989 Page 2 COMMENTS 1. Background: The owner, G. T. Land Colorado Inc., has submitted a written petition requesting zoning of approximately 157.8 acres west of I-25 and north of Prospect Road into the H-B Highway Business District. The property is presently undeveloped. The property is being annexed into the city limits as part of Interstate Lands First and Second Annexations. The zoning request is being heard separately because of overlapping and inconsistent boundary lines which define Interstate Lands First and Second Annexations and Tracts A and B, which have different zoning designations. 2. Zoning: The H-B Highway Business District designation is for automobile oriented businesses. The master plan proposed for Interstate Lands indicates a regional/community shopping center along with highway oriented business service uses located near I-25. According to the City's LAND USE POLICIES PLAN, regional/community shopping centers should locate in areas which are easily accessible to existing or planned residential areas; near transportation facilities that offer the required access without exceeding the capacity of the existing and future transportation network of the City; where they can be served by public transportation; and in areas served by existing water and sewer facilities. The policies also state that transitional land uses or greenbelts should be provided between residential neighborhoods and commercial areas to enhance the concept of a mixture of land uses. This site addresses these locational policies. 3. Neighborhood Concerns: A neighborhood meeting was held March 29, 1988 to hear concerns regarding the annexation and zoning of this property as well as to receive comments on the proposed master plan. The meeting was well attended by county residents who voiced their concerns about annexation. The primary objections were to City expansion in general, the possibility of their property becoming an enclave in the future, and the urban land uses proposed being a threat to their rural lifestyle. Staff believes that the requested H-B Highway Business District zoning with a planned unit development condition will ensure appropriate land use transitions and design compatibility with surrounding land uses. 3. Findings: a) The requested H-B Highway Business District is in conformance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Interstate Lands Tract B Zoning - #39-88 P & Z Meeting - January 23, 1989 Page 3 b) A planned unit development condition is appropriate for this zoning to ensure design compatibility with surrounding land uses. c) On March 21, 1989, the City Council will hold a public hearing and hear first reading of the Ordinance zoning the property. Second reading is scheduled for April 4, 1989. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the requested H-B Highway Business District zoning with a planned unit development condition.
