SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The subject site is a component of the larger Parkdale neighborhood/area. The applicant proposes a Preliminary Plat with 534 residential lots and 37 tracts. The applicant anticipates that these lots will develop with residential dwellings, associated trails, private open space, drainage facilities, and utilities.
Site History and Prior Approvals
The Town of Erie annexed the property at the southwest corner of Arapahoe Rd. and County Line Rd. in 1995, and later annexed the core of the site in Erie Gateway South Annexation No.9 in 2021. The Town approved the Parkdale North PD zoning in 2023, which replaced previous Initial Zoning from the annexation. The 2023 Parkdale North PD is the subject of this PD Amendment application.
Proposed PD Amendment:
The applicant proposes a limited amendment to the existing Parkdale North PD. This PD Amendment would allow a range of minimum lot sizes that would promote a wider range of housing types and styles. This would also allow more flexibility for future development to respond to market conditions. These minimum lot size ranges match the equivalent zone districts in the UDC, aligning more closely with the Town’s standards.
Proposed Preliminary Plat:
The applicant proposes a Preliminary Plat with 534 lots and 37 tracts for future residential development. The applicant anticipates that these lots would develop with single family detached and townhome residential units. The applicant anticipates the proposed tracts will accommodate site drainage, private open spaces, alleys, utilities, and trails. The preliminary plat proposes access from Arapahoe Road and County Line Road/Coal Creek Boulevard, as well as numerous connections with the existing Parkdale subdivision’s street network to the south, east, and west.
The next steps for development of the subject site will include a Development Agreement(s), and Final Plat(s) application that will be reviewed by staff with final acceptance by the Town Council.
