SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Location:
The Redtail Ranch Sketch Plan is located between Weld County Road 5 and Vista Parkway and is situated north of the Vista Ridge Subdivision.

The Sketch Plan includes a Neighborhood Park, two Pocket Parks, a Spine Trail, and two dedicated Open Space areas. The property contains multiple oil and gas facilities as well as a large environmental contamination area.
Next Steps:
A Sketch Plan represents a generalized land use plan and layout for the area proposed to be included within a subdivision. A Sketch Plan application is required to allow for an early, informal evaluation of a proposed subdivision before detailed planning and engineering work has occurred. The Sketch Plan is not part of a formal application for approval of a subdivision and any comments made by the Town in reaction to a Sketch Plan shall not be binding on the Town's consideration of any subsequent Preliminary or Final Plat application, nor result in a vested property right under this UDC or State Statute.
