* Town Council is the decision-making body responsible for all zoning land use applications.

* This application is generally consistent with what was proposed and approved with the annexation and initial zoning of North Westerly.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The subject property is generally located south of Weld County Road (WCR) 10, east of WCR5, north of Erie Parkway, and west of WCR7. The property abuts the eastern edge of Erie High School and north and eastern edges of Soaring Heights School. The Colliers Hill neighborhood is to the west, Westerly is to the south, and rural, unincorporated residential and agricultural is to the north and east. The Gateway/I-25 development is also located east of the site. The subject area is approximately 391 acres in size.
The Town of Erie annexed the property on Aug. 22, 2023. The annexation included initial zoning to Low Density Residential (LR), Medium Density Residential (MR), High Density Residential (HR), and Community Commercial (CC). The Pre-Development Agreement approved in concert with annexation established public benefit requirements that are further ensured through the Planned Development. The applicant proposes this North Westerly Planned Development Zoning to unify the zoning for the area under one Planned Development.
