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.

Summary:
The Sketch Plan proposes 898 residential dwelling units over ~411 acres. The property is split zoned with Public Land Institution and Low Density Residential. 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.

To move forward with the concept presented in the Sketch Plan, the applicant will need to apply for the following land use actions:
1. Comprehensive Plan Amendment
2. Planned Development (PD) Zoning

4. Preliminary Plat
5. Final Plat
6. Site Plan
