BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Canyon Creek Filing No. 11 Preliminary Plat site is located within and part of the larger Canyon Creek subdivision. It consists of 9.4 acres of the previously platted Canyon Creek Filing No. 8. The property is south of Jay Road, west of County Line Road, north of Telleen Avenue, and east of Jasper Road/Lombardi Road. The site is zoned as part of Canyon Creek PD Amendment No. 10 as part of Filing No. 8.
Site History and Prior Approvals
1. Annexation: The subject site was annexed by the Town in September of 1970, and was originally known as "Homestake".
2. Zoning
a. In 1975, the subject site and surrounding area were zoned as the Homestake PUD.
b. In May 2001, the Homestake PUD was amended and renamed the Canyon Creek Planned Development (PD) Plan. Since 2001, the subject site has been included in the area of Filing No. 8 with a maximum of 275 townhome units.
c. In 2008, PD Amendment #5 updated the Land Use Designation for Filing No. 8 from Townhome to Medium Density Residential which allowed a broader mix of housing than townhomes to include duplex, triplex, and manor home; and removed the maximum lot coverage for Medium Density Residential
d. In 2021, PD Amendment #8 revised rear yard setbacks for alley loaded homes
3. Plats:
a. A Sketch Plan was not required for Filing No. 11, a replat of Filing No. 8, as it was a recent platting. A Sketch Plan is an optional, informal evaluation before detailed planning and engineering work is undertaken and does not result in any approval or denial.
b. On May 28, 2019, a sketch plan was presented to Planning Commission and Board of Trustees for Canyon Creek Filing No. 7 & 8 Sketch Plan application for 109 single-family lots and 88 duplex lots south of the RTD railroad right-of-way and north of where Jasper Road dead ends.
c. On August 10, 2021, the Canyon Creek Filing No. 7 & 8 preliminary plat was approved by the Town Council and consisted of 106 single family detached home lots (Filing No. 7) and 88 paired home lots (Filing No. 8) with 26 tracts for various landscaping, trail, park, open space, alleys/private streets, and utility purposes and future development areas. The area for Preliminary Plat No. 11 was contained within designated future development tracts on the original Preliminary Plat.
d. On November 14, 2023, Canyon Creek Filing No. 8 Final Plat and Development Agreement (DA) was approved by Town Council. Filing No. 8 created 88 duplex lots and 16 tracts consisting of landscaping, drainage, utilities, alleys, and pocket park. Some of these areas are currently under construction. The area for Filing No. 11 was contained within designated future development tracts on the Filing No. 8 Final Plat.
