6. CONSOLIDATED ITEMS FOR SEQUENTIAL REVIEW
A. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON,
COLORADO, ANNEXING TO THE CITY OF BRIGHTON APPROXIMATELY
53.1152 ACRES OF CONTIGUOUS LAND, IN THE NORTHWEST 1/4 OF
SECTION 6, TOWNSHIP 1 SOUTH, RANGE 66 WEST, OF THE 6TH PRINCIPAL
MERIDIAN, COUNTY OF ADAMS, STATE OF COLORADO; TO BE KNOWN AS
THE RIVERFRONT PROPERTY ANNEXATION
Mayor McLean read the title of the Ordinance into the record.
City Manager Esquibel explained that Items A, B and C will be addressed together and introduced Senior Planner Lauren Simmons.
Senior Planner Lauren Simmons explained that the three (3) Riverfront Subdivision items are the Annexation Ordinance for final reading, the Resolution approving the Annexation Agreement and the PUD Ordinance for final reading. The property is located on the corner of Baseline Road and US 85. The representative for the applicant and owner is David Foster. The owners are Mark Campbell and Lloyd Land with the Brighton Investment Properties, LLC and the applicant with Loves Travel Stop and their consultants. The property is approximately 53.112 acres and is also under review for Preliminary Plat with the Planning Commission.
The substantial compliance for Annexation was approved on April 7, 2015, and the first reading of the Annexation Ordinance public hearing was approved on May 19, 2015. The Planning Commission reviewed the zoning on June 20, 2015 and recommended approval with some conditions. The public hearing at first reading was approved by City Council on October 6, 2015. The Preliminary Plat will be going to Planning Commission next week.
After review of the Annexation Agreement with staff and the applicant the following are points that were made in the Annexation Agreement. The area will not be included in the Brighton Urban Renewal Authority. The eastern access point and the traffic monitoring program associated with that are outlined in the Agreement. The applicant will submit a traffic impact study with each Final Plat or letter of compliance to supplement the already reviewed overall traffic impact study. The applicant will dedicate open space for the regional trail along the South Platte River and pay $90,000.00 for construction of the trail.
The property is zoned Mixed Use and Employment on the Comprehensive Plan. The PUD submitted and reviewed by staff is compliant with the Comprehensive Plan. The PUD does meet the requirements in the Land Use and Development Code. The PUD District is intended to reflect maximum design freedom by making the best use of the property specific to its unique characteristics. Staff reviews architectural and aesthetic standards, traffic, drainage, access, utility demands, height, bulk, setbacks, common space, trails, and landscaping. There are three (3) zones indicated in the PUD with specific uses. Zone A with 17.5 acres located along US 85 will have commercial uses. Kuner Road will eventually extend and run through the property. Zone B is to the northwest and is set for commercial or multi-family. Zone C to the southwest may have commercial, multi-family or industrial. There are approximately 10 acres of open space being dedicated and about 4 acres of right-of-way being dedicated. The applicant has submitted a detail for screening any outdoor storage and submitted a schedule of building materials and colors that will unify the development.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the PUD with the following conditions: prohibition of the industrial uses in Zone C of lumber yard, RV and large vehicle storage, outdoor storage and morgue. They also requested that large vehicle repair only be allowed indoors. Staff recommended that only 25% of outdoor storage be allowed on each lot platted within Zone C. Staff recommends approval of the Annexation Ordinance, Annexation Agreement, and PUD Ordinance.
Chris Fasching, Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, Centennial. Mr. Fasching explained that his firm was asked by the City and the applicant to review the traffic studies and proposed improvements for this development. There will be significant widening to Baseline Road and there is a need for a left turn lane. The study finds that the eastern access will function but there could be issues 20 years in the future if there is more traffic than projected. Measures to mitigate these issues include a robust signing plan for the east access which will be inbound only and not allow any trucks. There also needs to be additional right-of-way acquisition by the applicant, particularly on the east side of US 85 so the through lanes will line up. Monitoring of the traffic will take place as each additional parcel comes in for Final Plat and as development occurs, to make sure it is in line with projections.
David Foster, representing the ownership group. Mr. Foster thanked staff for their hard work on this project and introduced the ownership team. In Tract A there has been a conveyance of open space which does allow and accommodate for a regional trail system through this property and the ownership is contributing $90,000.00 for the construction of the trail. The applicant is not seeking to create an unsafe intersection and after evaluating the traffic models it is confirmed that the eastern access can work. There are opportunities in the Annexation Agreement to ensure traffic safety and compliance going forward with safety measures. This goes above and beyond the City’s normal requirements for traffic studies. This will be a quality development for this area.
Steve Walters, Loves Representative. Mr. Walters explained that they are excited to get started on this project and are going to pay for the road improvements to create a safe intersection. Mr. Walters feels the Travel Center will be an asset to Brighton. There will be two (2) restaurants, fueling for diesel trucks and automobiles, a safe place for diesel trucks to park, sales tax, property tax and the addition of eighty (80) to one hundred (100) employees. The site will be well lit to help with safety issues.
David Foster explained that the owner is asking for a modification to the PUD which would allow a greater percentage of outdoor storage in Zone C and asked that outdoor storage be allowed on 50% of the acreage in Zone C, rather than 25% of lots within Zone C. The Planning Commission recommended that there be no outdoor storage whatsoever, and staff suggested that outdoor storage be allowed on 25% of any lot developed in Zone C. Mr. Foster would like to find a middle ground and asked that 25% of the total acreage in Zone C be allowed for outdoor storage, which would be just under 2.5 acres of outdoor storage allowed in Zone C. Limiting outdoor storage on a lot by lot basis does not allow outdoor storage to function effectively as a primary use. The owner has agreed to screening standards and requirements in the PUD design guidelines, and a public realm was created from the Kuner Road boundary, so outdoor storage cannot exist within the first 30% of any lot that is developed immediately adjacent to public realm.
Planner Simmons explained that City Council approved the Ordinance as first reading allowing that 25% of each lot in Zone C could be used for outdoor storage.
Planner Simmons, David Foster, and Chris Fasching answered questions from Council regarding:
• The amount of outdoor storage originally requested by the owner.
• Diesel trucks only being allowed to use the western access.
• There being a designated lane for diesel trucks on Baseline Road.
• The items included in outdoor storage.
• The owners issue with the amount of outdoor storage being proposed by staff.

Mayor McLean read the title of the Ordinance into the record.
City Manager Esquibel introduced Assistant City Manager for Development Marv Falconburg.
Assistant City Manager for Development Marv Falconburg explained that there is interest by the Housing Authority to purchase a four (4) acre site south of Bromley Lane on 8th Avenue. The property is zoned R-3 and consists of two (2) lots conveyed to the City previously, consisting of 4.2 acres and 3.2 acres. The intent at the time of original conveyance was that the land would be resold by the City with proceeds going toward parks projects. A small portion of any sale proceeds should also be designated to repay certain fee reductions granted by the Traffic Impact Fee in the amount of $42,840.00 and the Crossing Fee in the amount of $17,640.00. Staff recommends repaying those two (2) accounts with sale proceeds, with the balance toward parks projects. The Housing Authority would like to purchase one (1) of these lots and construct approximately ninety-six (96) units of affordable multi-family housing. The purchase price is based on a certified appraisal which indicated the fair market value is $336,000.00. The Housing Authority would like to purchase the land for $336,000.00 (cash) and close on the property by February 1, 2016 to meet State deadlines for the grant cycle for funding.
