B. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON, COLORADO, ACCEPTING THE PLAN FOR ALL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRIGHTON RIDGE SUBDIVISION, AN APPROXIMATELY 103.57 ACRE PROPERTY, GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF EAST 120TH AVE ALONG BOTH SIDES OF POTOMAC STREET, IN A PORTION OF THE EAST HALF OF SECTION 1, TOWNSHIP 2 SOUTH, RANGE 67 WEST, AND IN THE NORTHWEST QUARTER OF SECTION 6, TOWNSHIP 2 SOUTH, RANGE 66 WEST, ALL OF THE 6TH PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, CITY OF BRIGHTON, COUNTY OF ADAMS, STATE OF COLORADO
Mayor Mills read the title of the Resolution into the record.
Mayor Mills opened the public hearing at 6:34 p.m. and City Clerk Natalie Hoel verified the required postings and publications (October 28, 2022 on the City of Brighton Website) for this public hearing were completed.
Senior Planner and Historic Preservationist Emma Lane presented the Brighton Ridge Subdivision Plan. The applicant is Travis Frazier of Redland, and the property owner is Walk Off LLC. The property is located south of East 120th Avenue, west of Sable Boulevard and east of Southgate Boulevard. The development straddles Potomac Street, which has been renamed to South Platte Valley Avenue with this document. All references to South Platte Valley Avenue refer to the street that was formerly Potomac Street. Staff used the review criteria outlined in the Land Use & Development Code. The property was annexed in 1988 as part of the Fuller Estates East Annexation and was zoned as the Fuller Estates East PUD. The property was rezoned in 2022 to include MU-CC (Mixed Use Community Center), C-2 (Restricted Retail and Services), R-2 (Mixed-Density Residential), R-3 (Multiple Family Residential), and OS (Open Space).
The Subdivision Plan and the City Ordinance ensures that water will be dedicated to the city to serve this development. The developer will dedicate water with each phase or filing, based on the usage of that filing. The developer will connect to the existing city water and sewer lines within 120th Avenue, Foley Road, and Gateway Street to extend service into the property. The extension of all water and sewer lines will be paid for and constructed by the developer.
Much of the land on the east side of South Platte Valley Avenue is located within a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regulatory floodplain or a floodplain overlay district. The Subdivision Plan requires the developer to reform a natural drainage channel to reduce the floodplain. Over the years, the channel has been straightened and shallowed because of farming activity in the area. Returning the channel to its natural state along with the East 120th Avenue bridge construction will require a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) along with a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR). Until the floodplain map has been revised, no construction in the floodplain overlay district will be permitted. The Subdivision Plan also requires construction of drainage infrastructure in phases including permanent and temporary ponds.
To facilitate access to and through the property, one major arterial and several neighborhood connector streets will be built or improved. These include improvements to South Platte Valley Avenue, Foley Road, 120th Avenue, Gateway Street, internal roads, sidewalks, the bridge over Second Creek, and a traffic signal, if warranted, at East 120th Avenue.
The Subdivision Plan includes dedication of a neighborhood park and open space of 11.28 acres of mostly floodplain in the northeast corner of the property. The neighborhood park will be constructed by the developer in Phase 2 of the development. With each Final Plat, staff will evaluate the amount of parks and open space plan required and compare that to the amount that has been dedicated. If there is ever a deficit in the amount of land dedicated, a fee-in-lieu will be required prior to building permits being issued. The Subdivision Plan includes a regional trail that connects from East 120th Avenue and continues along the east boundary of the property to the southernmost point. The trail continues along the Brighton Ridge property just north of the 27J Schools bus barn property and connects into the existing regional trail within the Village at Southgate subdivision. A regional trail will be constructed along the south side of East 120th Avenue connecting the existing Village at Southgate subdivision trail to the existing ramp at the intersection of East 120th Avenue and Sable Boulevard.
The Future Land Use portion of the Comprehensive Plan has designated this area as appropriate for mixed-use commercial, with a small area as low density residential and natural resource conservation. the property is intended to have a mix of uses focusing more on the commercial uses with residential uses being secondary. While the Subdivision Plan focuses more on residential uses within the development, the commercial uses are shown along the highest traffic roadways and are most visible to those passing by. The proposed Subdivision Plan meets numerous other policies including Opportunity Area policies numbers 6 and 15. In Chapter 4 of the Comprehensive Plan, Citywide Principles, Policies & Strategies, the Subdivision Plan addresses these policies as well.
In approving the Subdivision Plan, the Planning Commission used the following criteria in the Land Use & Development Code and Council shall look to these criteria in accepting the project. The density and design features of the Subdivision Plan help support the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The Subdivision Plan was designed with respect to infrastructure such as roadways, drainage, utilities, and open space. Because of the large size of the property, exact lot layout will be reviewed in more detail with each Final Plat and/or site plan when they are submitted for review. The Subdivision Plan describes the improvements required to be constructed with each phase of the development. A filing specific Development Agreement will be required for each future filing within the development. The Subdivision Plan includes a phasing plan that indicates the six phases of the development. The Subdivision Plan indicates that Phases 1 - 4 must be constructed in sequential order, but based on market demand, Phases 5 and 6 may not happen in sequential order. The recommendations included in the technical reports conducted for Brighton Ridge have been incorporated into the Subdivision Plan and have been agreed upon by the city and the developer. The Subdivision Plan meets the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and allows for adjacent properties to meet those goals as well. The Subdivision Plan anticipates construction of future public infrastructure in the area and does not prevent the construction of any future infrastructure in the area.
City staff finds this site appropriate for mixed-use commercial and residential uses. Site development, including buffering and building design will occur in accordance with the applicable zone district standards as outlined in the Land Use & Development Code. On October 31, 2022, mailings were sent to all property owners within 1,000 ft. as required by Code and signs were posted on the property. Notice was published on the city’s website on October 28, 2022 and information was posted on various social media sites. A neighborhood meeting was held on May 6, 2021. Staff has not received any formal comments in advance of this hearing. The Development Review Committee reviewed the project and recommended approval to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission heard the request on October 27, 2022 and unanimously voted to approve the Subdivision Plan. Staff finds the Subdivision Plan is in general compliance with the requirements as outlined in the Land Use & Development Code. Staff recommends approval of the Brighton Ridge Subdivision Plan.
Mayor Mills asked if the applicant would like to add anything to the presentation.
Jason Pock, Owners Representative with Westside Investment Partners, the Master Developers for Brighton Ridge. Mr. Pock explained that his role is to prepare entitlements, allowable uses, zoning, design and construct streets and public improvements.
Susan Wade, Senior Planner with Redland, presented the development plan, the development process, the community benefits, and the public improvement plan for Brighton Ridge.
Mayor Mills asked if anyone in the audience had questions for the applicant.
Anita Leyba, Brighton. Ms. Leyba expressed concern regarding increased traffic and asked questions regarding if a study had been done for traffic, the school traffic, what is meant by low-income housing, the impact on property values, increased crime, and increased property taxes for the roadway.
Inna Chausenko, Brighton. Ms. Chausenko asked questions regarding the number of apartments being built, the number of people that will live in the development, traffic issues, and the HOA fees stopping after the development.
Jessica Schriver, Brighton. Ms. Schriver asked question regarding expansion of 120th Avenue west of the development, additional schools in the area, and metro district fees.
Marsha Giraldi, Brighton. Ms. Giraldi asked questions regarding traffic, schools, grocery stores, the types of commercial in the neighborhood, and increases to property taxes.
Patrick Stoefregon, Indiana. Mr. Stoefregon is a developer in the first phase of the project and is in support of the Subdivision Plan.
Dawn Trujillo, Brighton. Ms. Trujillo asked questions regarding the cost, the types of retail that would be allowed, the licensing being done by the city, parking for multi-family units, there being only two entrances into the development, emergency services and funding for that, metro district fees, the widening of 120th Avenue and delivery trucks for the retail.
Mr. Pock responded to questions from the audience.
Mayor Mills asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on behalf of or against the request, there was none.
Mayor Mills asked if there were questions from City Council.
Mayor Pro Tem Cushing asked what the home school is for this subdivision and Planner Lane stated that it is Thimmig Elementary School, Prairie View Middle School, and Prairie View High School. Mayor Pro Tem Cushing asked if there will be sidewalks along Potomac Street on the north side of 120th Avenue. Ms. Wade explained that the developer will provide sidewalks on the south side of 120th Avenue, not the north side. Mayor Pro Tem Cushing expressed concern that there is no sidewalk to get to the public transportation at the Adams County Government Center or a complete sidewalk system for the schools, increased traffic on Sable Boulevard and 120th Avenue and the overcrowding of the schools. Mr. Pock explained that private development should pay its own way, but they cannot solve all the city’s problems offsite. The public improvements are very expensive and the improvements for other areas should be the responsibility of that property owner. Adding the additional bridge span will improve this area. Ms. Wade explained that impact fees will be paid to the schools for each residence and the trail on the south side of 120th Avenue will connect to the existing trail at the Villages at Southgate.
Councilmember Taddeo asked for clarification about the affordable housing not contributing to the metro district. Mr. Pock explained that there is no affiliation between this project and the Southgate Metropolitan Districts. Councilmember Taddeo asked if this development would have a metro District and Mr. Pock stated that it would. Councilmember Taddeo asked if the affordable housing would contribute to its own metro district and Mr. Pock explained that the discussion tonight is about public improvements.
Councilmember Blackhurst expressed concern that the improvements to 120th Avenue will be completed in two different phases and asked staff to consider requiring that the entire improvement be done at the same time. Mr. Pock explained that phasing is the only option because they do not have the resources to complete the improvements at one time. There is a significant cost, and the bridge span will require studies by specialists, structural engineering, design coordination with the City, County and possibly CDOT. The ability to construct the public improvements are a function of the planning areas developing. If there is no money coming in, there are no resources to make the improvements. Travis Frazier with Redland explained that they are strategic with the phasing of the project. The first phase includes the construction of the intersection of South Platte Valley and 120th Avenue to ensure Gateway connects to South Platte Valley to alleviate concerns regarding traffic into the Villages at Southgate. There is a floodplain that has to be dealt with in Phase 3 as part of the bridge and the process with FEMA is lengthy and difficult, which further complicates the bridge. Mr. Pock explained that if Council requires that 120th be completed in the first phase, the application will have to be withdrawn. Councilmember Blackhurst asked if there could be a drop-dead date when the roadway would be completed, and Mr. Pock explained that this could be completed in five or six years.
Councilmember Johnston asked who pays for the water. Mr. Pock explained that the water will be dedicated to the city as each planning area develops with each of the applications for those areas. There is one end user under contract at this time and they have already acquired their water. Councilmember Johnston asked if that user was for residential, and Mr. Pock stated that they are. Councilmember Johnston stated that the residents of the area will be paying for everything with the metro district, the developer is not paying for the improvements. The city does not need more residential building until the infrastructure catches up. Mr. Pock explained that the metro district bond reimbursements will not cover the cost of the public improvements.
Councilmember Padilla stated that houses and residents drive the commercial development in the city. This is a critical interchange in the city, and it is important that it be developed correctly. Councilmember Padilla expressed the importance of attracting businesses, primary employment, affordable housing, and the need to enable people to purchase homes in the city. Councilmember Padilla asked what the timeline is for improvements to Sable Boulevard. City Manager Michael Martinez explained that the city is in the planning phase for improvements to Sable Boulevard. Assistant Director of Public Works Christopher Montoya explained that the design for improvements to
Sable Boulevard will take approximately 18 months and the work on E-470 will take four to five years. Councilmember Padilla spoke about the timing for the open space in Phase 3 to be moved to Phase 1 and the issues that would cause. Councilmember Padilla asked if the school district asked for a fee in lieu instead of getting land and Ms. Wade stated that was correct. Councilmember Padilla asked for the criteria that must be considered to make a decision tonight and Planner Lane presented the review criteria.
Councilmember Pollack trusts staff and tries to follow their recommendations and is happy people want to develop in the city.
Mayor Mills feels the biggest impact is addressing 120th Avenue. Mayor Mills asked why Potomac Street is being renamed. Planner Lane explained that Adams County has a different addressing grid from the city and the GIS department asked for this to be done.
