Second: Commissioner Carlson
Vote: Motion passed 5-0
Absent: Chair Yeater and Commissioner Briscoe.
Expedited Agenda:
The following items are routine in nature, fully described in the accompanying reports, and
therefore staff summary presentations will be suspended unless requested by the Commission or
members of the public in attendance at the meeting.
5. A public hearing to consider an annexation of approximately 999.72 acres known as

request for an annexation meets the approval criteria found in section 24-214.b.2 Sections A through
E of the Greeley Development Code, and that the proposed Arroyos Del Sol annexation, file number
ANX2024-0004 meets the applicable state statutory requirements and therefore recommend approval
of the annexation to the City Council.
Second: Commissioner Franzen
Vote: Motion passed 6-0
Absent: Chair Yeater

6. A public hearing to consider a request for establishment of zoning to C-D
(Conservation District) for approximately 999.72 acres known as the Arroyos del Sol
Annexation Establishment of Zoning located generally northwest of State Highway 257
Spur, west of Weld County Road 19, and south of the Cache la Poudre River
(ZON2025-0001).
Vice Chair Andersen introduced the item as presented. She asked if any of the Commissioners
wished to see a presentation. Seeing none, Vice Chair Andersen opened the public portion of the
meeting at 1:21pm by asking if anyone in attendance or online wished to speak. Seeing none, Vice
Chair Andersen closed the public portion of the meeting at 1:21pm and turned it over to the
Commission for discussion or a motion.
Commissioner Schulte asked staff to provide a brief reminder regarding the Conservation District,
specifically whether any types of development or uses, in addition to farming and gravel extraction,
were permitted within the zoning district. Doug May (Principal Planner) noted that the district
allowed gravel mining but was primarily intended to protect natural areas and open space,
particularly along river corridors, and did not generally allow other development except uses related
to natural areas or parks.
Vice Chair Andersen requested clarification as to whether it was a conservation easement. Don
Threewitt (Interim Community Development Director) shared that the Conservation District allowed
farming by right, while utility crossings and mineral extraction required special review. It was also
noted that much of the property was under a conservation easement, requiring approval from the
easement holder for any proposed uses, and that the master plan focused on public recreation and
natural areas.
Commissioner Schulte asked whether plans were already underway for the site or whether it was
expected to remain undeveloped for a period of time. Mr. Threewitt shared a master planning process
was in place, with the overall long-term vision for the site already established. Development was
expected to occur incrementally as funding and grant opportunities became available.
Motion by Commissioner Franzen:
He moved that based on the application received and the preceding analysis, the Planning
Commission finds that the request for an establishment of zoning meets the approval criteria found in
Section 24-204. b. (1-9) and recommends approval of the establishment of zoning to City Council.
Second: Commissioner Modlin
Vote: Motion passed 6-0
Absent: Chair Yeater

7. Staff Report:
There was no report from staff.
8. Adjournment:
Vice Chair Andersen adjourned the meeting at 1:25pm.

Work Session
Before the work session began, Commissioner Briscoe asked about recent court rulings and their effect on
local development. Mr. Threewitt provided an update to the commission.
Vice Chair Andersen asked what the Commissions role was regarding these Work Session items and what
actions were expected of them. Mr. Threewitt stated these items are very much based on input from the
Commissioners. The Planning Commission and the City Council input would be compiled and used to
develop draft materials, with public outreach and feedback also considered. Once drafts are prepared, they
will be presented for recommendation before being forwarded to City Council with the meeting minutes
for final adoption consideration.
Commissioner Modlin requested discussion on how the item could increase the likelihood of developers
providing more well-rounded projects than those seen in the past.
9. Development Code Updates
The Commission received a work session presentation from Mr. Threewitt and consultant Jen
Gardner of Logan Simpson on Phase 2 of the City's Development Code Audit and Update. The
session was structured to solicit Commission guidance ahead of drafting. Staff confirmed that input
gathered from this session, along with parallel input from City Council, would be incorporated into
draft code language for subsequent review and adoption proceedings.
Urban Agriculture — Animal Keeping
Staff presented options for regulating backyard fowl in residential and suburban zone districts, noting
that the current code effectively prohibits backyard chickens despite the practice being widespread
and largely unenforceable. The Commission reached general consensus to move forward with
exploring a permit-based allowance for backyard fowl (chickens, ducks, and similar fowl, excluding
roosters). The Commission directed staff to tie allowable quantities to lot size and to exclude other
livestock such as goats, sheep, pigs, and similar animals at this time. A registration-style permit was
favored over a more intensive permitting process.
Cottage Commercial
Staff presented two options for allowing small-scale commercial uses within or accessory to owneroccupied residential properties, filling the gap between home occupation and traditional commercial
development. The Commission acknowledged that such uses already exist informally throughout the
city and expressed support for moving forward with a framework similar to Option 1 — a use-byspecial-review approach with meaningful limitations. Key directions provided included: requiring
owner-occupancy of the residential property with the property owner being a party to the business;
limiting the number of employees; establishing limitations on vehicle traffic; and noting that HOA

restrictions should prevail where applicable. The Commission preferred starting with more restrictive
standards, with the option to loosen them overtime.
Build-to-Rent
Staff presented options for codifying standards for build-to-rent housing communities, which have
previously been processed through the PUD procedure on a case-by-case basis. The Commission
expressed broad support for moving away from the PUD approach in favor of a codified standard.
Direction was given to develop a hybrid framework drawing from both multifamily and singlefamily standards, addressing parking requirements, private street ownership and maintenance
obligations, and minimum design standards. Staff noted that long-term maintenance accountability
and code enforcement access were primary considerations.
Oil and Gas Setbacks
Staff presented options for updating setback standards relative to active, plugged, and abandoned oil
and gas wells, noting that the current definition of "structure" inadvertently captures parking lots,
roads, and other horizontal improvements in setback calculations. The Commission provided general
direction to pursue the most permissive standards that still protect public health, safety, and welfare,
acknowledging Greeley's unique context within Weld County and the impracticality of applying
overly restrictive setbacks given the density of existing oil and gas infrastructure.
Gravel Extraction
Staff presented options for adding operational standards to the existing gravel extraction use, which
is currently allowed by special review in the Conservation District but lacks enforceable performance
criteria. The Commission supported separating batch plant operations from extraction in the use
table, and directed staff to develop standards addressing noise, dust, lighting, hours of operation, haul
routes, and reclamation. Commissioners emphasized the importance of reclamation, restoration, and
remediation standards, and encouraged collaboration with Weld County on permitting for operations
near the city's boundaries.
Solar Energy
Staff presented options for updating solar energy regulations, including the potential to allow largescale solar in the Holding Agricultural zone and to develop tiered standards for small, medium, and
large installations. The Commission expressed general support for the recommendations, with
direction to ensure coordination with the county given that solar facilities developed in
unincorporated areas may eventually be annexed. The concept of agrivoltaics — integrating
agricultural operations with solar — was viewed favorably.
Data Centers
Staff presented options for regulating data centers as a distinct use, noting Weld County's recent
ordinance affirmatively welcoming them and the likelihood of increased interest in the Greeley area.
The Commission supported allowing data centers as a use-by-special-review in industrial zones (IM
and IH), with setbacks from residential uses, noise standards, and provisions addressing high power
and water consumption. Commissioners raised concerns about the long-term displacement of
traditional industrial employment land uses and the potential for indirect rate increases to utility
customers. Staff noted that Xcel Energy has issued policy guidance requiring data centers to bear
their own direct infrastructure costs. A use-by-special-review designation was preferred as a starting
point, with the option to convert to a by-right use as the land use type matures.

10. Landscape & Sign Code Updates
The Commission received a work session presentation from Mr. Threewitt and Buxton Demers
(Code Compliance Manager) on draft Landscape & Sign Code updates. The session was also
structured to solicit Commission guidance ahead of drafting. Staff confirmed the process will be
identical to the previous work session item.
Landscape Code and Compliance
Staff presented draft updates to the City's landscape code, including a proposal to allow artificial turf
in front yards by permit with certified installation. Several commissioners expressed skepticism
about artificial turf, citing long-term appearance and maintenance concerns. Staff indicated this item
would be revisited with Council that evening. The Commission supported a priority-based
compliance approach in which code enforcement focuses on properties with bare dirt, erosion, tall
weeds, or repeated violations, while treating maintained but technically nonconforming yards as
lower priority. Support was expressed for expanding promotion of water-wise and native landscaping
alternatives.
Sign Code
Staff presented a draft sign code update addressing wind-driven devices and yard signs in parkways.
The Commission supported increasing the permitted sky dancer height from 8 to 20 feet, allowing
wind-driven devices without a permit regardless of branding, and limiting their use to business
operating hours only. On parkway signs, the Commission supported maintaining the existing
prohibition, with a courtesy education approach for first-time residential violations where ownership
is clear, and immediate removal for signs creating safety or obstruction concerns.

EXPEDITED AGENDA
The following items are routine in nature, fully described in the accompanying reports, and
therefore staff summary presentations will be suspended unless requested by the
Commission or members of the public in attendance at the meeting.
4. A public hearing to consider a Use by Special Review for an automobile repair/service
use in the C-H (Commercial High Intensity) zone district located at 8503 11th Street.
(USR2026-0002)

Chair Yeater introduced the item as presented and asked if any of the Commissioners wished to see a
presentation. Seeing none, Chair Yeater asked if anyone in attendance or online wished to see a
presentation. Seeing none, Chair Yeater opened the public portion of the meeting at 1:18pm. Seeing
no one in person or online wishing to speak, Chair Yeater closed the public portion of the meeting at
1:18pm and turned it over to the Commission for discussion or action.

Commissioner Andersen asked why a Use by Special Review is required for car washes and
commercial high intensity uses. Michael Franke (Planner III) explained that, under the code, this type
of use requires a Use by Special Review when the site exceeds one acre. Because the site is 1.42
acres, the USR requirement is triggered.
Motion by Commissioner Schulte:

He moved that based on the application received and the preceding analysis, the Planning
Commission finds that the proposed use by special review for a car wash in the commercial highintensity zone district is consistent with the approval criteria found in Section 24-206.b and therefore
approves the use by special review as submitted.

20-foot public alley through the block is intended to be vacated separately by the Greeley City
Council and incorporated into the future consolidated lot.
A. REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary subdivision plat to consolidate the
existing parcels within Block 66 into one 3.709-acre lot for the future Weld County Judicial
Center. The existing 20-foot public alley will be vacated separately by the Greeley City
Council.
B. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval (see Section J).
Planning Commission Summary
SUB2026-0011 - Weld County Judicial Center Subdivision, Preliminary Plat
September 8, 2026

C. LOCATION
The subject property is located in Block 66 in Downtown Greeley, generally bounded by
10th Avenue, 11th Avenue, 9th Street, and 10th Street.
Zoning:
C-H (Commercial High Intensity), within the Downtown Overlay
Abutting Zoning
North: C-H
South: C-H
East: C-H
West: C-H
Abutting Land Uses
The surrounding area is developed as part of Downtown Greeley with a mix of civic,
institutional, commercial, parking, and other urban uses.
Site Characteristics:
The site is a previously developed downtown block containing multiple existing parcels,
buildings, parking areas, utilities, and a 20-foot public alley. The proposed subdivision
would consolidate the block into one lot in preparation for future redevelopment.
D. BACKGROUND
Weld County is planning a new Judicial Center in Downtown Greeley to support the longterm operational needs of the County's judicial system. The proposed Judicial Center is
intended to consolidate key judicial functions that are currently distributed among multiple
facilities into a purpose-built courthouse.
The preliminary subdivision is the first step in establishing a single development parcel for
the future project. The proposed plat consolidates the existing parcels within Block 66 into
one 3.709-acre lot. The existing 20-foot public alley will be vacated separately by the
Greeley City Council. Detailed building design, parking, access, utility coordination, and
other site improvements will be addressed through subsequent Site Plan review.
E. APPROVAL CRITERIA
Standards for a Preliminary Subdivision Plat:
In reaching recommendations and decisions on a preliminary subdivision plat, the Planning
Commission shall apply the following standards of Section 24-203(b)(1) of the current
Development Code.
(a)The application is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, or any other specific
plan created under that plan, and in particular, the physical development patterns and
design concepts of the plan.
Staff Comment:

The proposed subdivision supports redevelopment of an
established Downtown Greeley block for a future Weld County

Planning Commission Summary
SUB2026-0011 - Weld County Judicial Center Subdivision, Preliminary Plat
September 8, 2026

Judicial Center. The applicant identifies the site as Legacy Urban
on the Imagine Greeley Comprehensive Plan Land Use Guidance
Map and notes that the project supports intergovernmental and
public/private partnerships and reinvestment in the downtown area.
Consolidating the existing parcels will facilitate continued civic
use and redevelopment within the established urban core. The
request complies with this criterion.
(b) The development and infrastructure is arranged in a manner to minimize impacts
on geologic hazards, environmentally sensitive areas, wildlife habitat, or other
natural features of the land.
Staff Comment:

The subject property is a previously developed downtown block.
No geologic hazards, environmentally sensitive areas, significant
wildlife habitat, or other natural features have been identified that
would be disturbed by the proposed subdivision. The request
complies with this criterion.

(c) The arrangement and proposed design of streets, blocks, and open spaces meet the
development and design standards of the subdivision regulations and are
coordinated with existing or potential development on adjacent property.
Staff Comment:

The preliminary plat is primarily intended to consolidate multiple
existing parcels into one development lot within the established
downtown street and block pattern. The existing public alley is
proposed to be vacated through a separate City Council action.
Detailed site design, parking, access, and open-space
considerations will be addressed through subsequent Site Plan
review. The proposed subdivision has been coordinated with
existing and potential adjacent development to the extent
applicable at the preliminary plat stage. The request complies with
this criterion for preliminary design.

(d) The proposed blocks and lots are capable of meeting all development and site design
standards under the applicable zoning district.
Staff Comment:

The property is zoned C-H (Commercial High Intensity) and is
within the Downtown Overlay. The preliminary plat creates one
3.709-acre lot capable of accommodating future development
subject to the applicable zoning, overlay, and site design standards.
Detailed compliance will be reviewed with the future Site Plan.
The request complies with this criterion.

Planning Commission Summary
SUB2026-0011 - Weld County Judicial Center Subdivision, Preliminary Plat
September 8, 2026

(e) The application demonstrates a preliminary likelihood of being able to meet the
design, construction, performance, and maintenance requirements for all required
improvements.
Staff Comment:

Staff and applicable referral agencies have reviewed the
preliminary subdivision plans. The project is redevelopment of an
existing urban block with existing public infrastructure, and
coordination of utilities and other required improvements will
continue through subsequent design and Site Plan review. Based
on the preliminary review, the application demonstrates the ability
to meet applicable requirements. The request complies with this
criterion for preliminary design.

(f) Any phasing is clearly indicated and demonstrates a logical and coordinated
approach to development, and the timing, location, and construction of amenities is
consistent throughout phases.
Staff Comment:

The preliminary plat itself consolidates the property into a single
lot. The applicant indicates that a phasing plan for construction and
related improvements will be provided with the Site Plan
submittal. At this stage, the subdivision does not create multiple
development phases requiring separate subdivision coordination.
The request complies with this criterion for preliminary design.

(g) Any impacts identified by specific studies or technical reports, including a review of
storm water, are mitigated with generally accepted and sound planning,
engineering, and urban design solutions that reflect long-term solutions and sound
fiscal investments.
Staff Comment:

The applicant indicates that impacts identified through technical
review will be addressed with generally accepted planning,
engineering, and urban design solutions. Because detailed site
development is not being approved with this preliminary plat, final
stormwater, utility, access, and other engineering solutions will be
reviewed through subsequent Site Plan and construction processes.
Staff and referral agencies have reviewed the preliminary
subdivision and are comfortable with the application proceeding to
final subdivision. The request complies with this criterion for
preliminary design.

(h) The design does not impede the construction of anticipated or planned future public
infrastructure within the area, or deter future development on adjacent property
from meeting the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

Planning Commission Summary
SUB2026-0011 - Weld County Judicial Center Subdivision, Preliminary Plat
September 8, 2026

Staff Comment:

The preliminary subdivision consolidates an existing downtown
block and does not alter the surrounding public street network.
Existing utilities may require modification or relocation as part of
future redevelopment, including the sanitary sewer currently
located in the alley. Such work will be coordinated with the City
and applicable service providers during subsequent design. The
request does not impede anticipated public infrastructure or
adjacent development. The request complies with this criterion for
preliminary design.

(i) The recommendations of professional staff or any other referral agencies authorized
to review the subdivision plan.
Staff Comment:

Staff and applicable referral agencies have reviewed the
preliminary subdivision plans. Required coordination and revisions
have occurred to a level appropriate for preliminary plat review,
and reviewing agencies are comfortable with the application
proceeding to the Final Subdivision process. The request complies
with this criterion.

F. PHYSICAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS
1. SUBDIVISION HISTORY
The subject property consists of Lots 1 through 24 of Block 66, Town of Greeley,
together with the existing 20-foot public alley connecting 10th Avenue and 11th Avenue
between 9th Street and 10th Street. The preliminary plat proposes to consolidate the
property into Proposed Lot 1, containing approximately 161,555 square feet (3.709
acres). The public alley will be vacated separately by the Greeley City Council.
2. HAZARDS
Staff is not aware of geologic or other natural hazards that would preclude development
of the subdivision area.

Review Criteria
Preliminary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 24-203.b.1 (a)-(i)
1)

The proposal is in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and any other plan, policy or guidance
adopted pursuant to that plan.
Imagine Greeley states that there is a, “growing support in the community to accommodate future growth with higher-density” developments. As proposed the project is a rowhome development that is adding additional housing types to the
immediate area promoting a higher density. Objective GC 1.2 encourages compact urban form over sprawl or leap-frog development. The proposed project is looking to develop a current vacant lot that has development on all four sides.
Looking to take advantage of an under-utilized parcel aligned with this objective. Objective GC 1.4 further encourages a compact urban form, outlining that this method is desirable as an alternative to linear or sprawl developments in the
LREGA. This project furthers this objective as a parcel located within the LREGA that is looking to develop in a compact urban form that is compatible and complimentary of the existing and surrounding uses. Objective GC 2.1 also states to
maintain compliance with the Land Use Guidance Map, as stated above the proposed project aligns with and furthers the goal as set by the plan. Objective GC 2.2 prioritizes supporting zoning and development patterns that expand
opportunities for people who live in Greeley to also work in Greeley and vice versa. This project aligns with this objective by proposing additional attainable housing stock in an area that has established commercial and jobs, but also in the
greater and quickly developing west Greeley. Objective GC 2.3 encourages walking and bicycling whenever possible by locating employment, shopping, recreation, entertainment, transit, and other services withing ¼ mile of residential
areas. Within ¼ mile of this proposed residential development includes service businesses, health care, offices, schools, and recreation aligning completely with this objective. Objective GC 3.1 this objective promotes new development to
enhance the character of the community. By developing a currently vacant parcel into an attractive and desirable residential community that addresses and fills many of the City’s identified housing needs, the proposal aligns with this
objective. Objective GC 3.4 encourages the communities’ image as a “Tree City.” This development will not only embrace but further this objective by adding additional approved trees species to the City of Greeley’s robust and growing tree
canopy. Objective GC 4.1 is to prioritize infill development; this project is the proposal of an infill residential development. Objective GC 4.3 focuses on the encouragement of infill compatibility. This proposal is to design, develop, and deliver
an attractive residential community that not only fits in with the established fabric of the area but further it, through site design and architecture. Objective GC 6.1 is to foster the development of “Complete Neighborhoods” that prioritize
connectivity and character. The project as proposed will feature a rowhome residential development that furthers the goals of a creating a “Complete Neighborhood” by delivering and promoting a variety of attributes that contribute to day-today living by allowing the immediate area to have residential, commercial, employment, and mixed uses. By developing a residential infill project, it will help create a sense of place in an area with existing mixed uses that will truly allow
people to live, work, grow, and play in their own neighborhood. Objective GC 6.5 champions neighborhood reinvestment, currently the parcel is a vacant property that is underutilized, by allowing this proposed project to develop into an
attractive and needed housing development, it aligns with this goal to reinvest in neighborhoods with new landscaping, infrastructure, utilities, and housing.
Imagine Greeley Identified Goal: Housing Analysis: Imagine Greeley confirms that the City has continued to champion its original settlers as a community that actively works to improve housing access for all people while supporting housing
diversity. The proposed project looks to target the “missing middle” housing type by delivering a product type that is attainable and meets the needs of Greeley’s desired workforce. Objective HO 2.1 sets the vision to encourage a variety of
housing types to ensure that the City has neighborhoods that attract all residents. The project as proposed will add additional rowhome residential housing to the area, this will help increase the overall housing stock but also target the
“missing middle” housing fostering a community wide variety housing types, sizes, styles, and price-points to attract a wide variety of residents and create a stronger community and further the goal to obtain a Complete Neighborhood.
Imagine Greeley Identified Goal: Infrastructure Analysis: Imagine Greeley outlines the importance of infrastructure as the City continues to grow, this includes public facilities, parks, and transportation. As proposed this project will design,
develop, and deliver a multi-family residential infill project that will coordinate with City staff and applicable stakeholders to design, develop, and deliver additional water, sanitary, storm water, multi-modal, and housing infrastructure.
Imagine Greeley Identified Goal: Natural Resources & Open Lands Analysis: Imagine Greeley identifies that planning for the natural environment along side development is a priority. It goes on to put an emphasis on tree plantings which
gave the City its nickname as “The Garden Spot of the West” and water conservation. As the City of Greeley continues to grow Imagine Greeley dictates that the City will build on and expand its existing efforts for environmental stewardship
which extends to but is not limited to just water conservation and increasing the City’s tree canopy. Objective NR 1.3 encourages water conservation and related practices. The proposed development will utilize native, City approved, low
water use plantings and materials to algin with this objective.

2)

The development and infrastructure is arranged in a manner to minimize impacts of geologic hazards, environmentally sensitive
areas, wildlife habitat, or other natural features of the land.
The Cedarwoods Rowhousing project has been designed and arranged to minimize impacts on geologic hazards, environmentally sensitive areas, wildlife habitat, and other
natural features of the land. The subject property is an infill parcel located within the Long Range Expected Growth Area (LREGA) and is surrounded by existing urban
development. The site does not contain known geologic hazards, significant natural features, or designated environmentally sensitive areas.

8

Review Criteria
Preliminary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 24-203.b.1 (a)-(i)
3)

The arrangement and proposed design of streets, blocks, and open spaces meet the development and design
standards of the subdivision regulations and are coordinated with existing or potential development on
adjacent property.
The proposed street, block, and lot layout maintains an efficient and logical development pattern that aligns with City standards and
reflects the established urban fabric of the area. Internal circulation and access are designed to function effectively while supporting a
compact, infill development pattern that maximizes the use of the site without compromising design quality or livability. The internal
circulation network is further enhanced by a system of pedestrian-scale sidewalks and pathways that provide direct and intuitive
connections throughout the site. These pedestrian routes are complemented by refined frontage and foundation plantings that reinforce
the residential character of the development and create a more comfortable, human-scaled environment. The landscape design has been
developed in alignment with Section 24-802 (Landscape Design) of the City of Greeley Development Code and reflects close coordination
with City staff to ensure compliance and overall site quality.

4)

The proposed blocks and lots are capable of meeting all development and site design standards under the
applicable zoning district.
The proposed blocks and lots within the Cedarwoods Rowhousing development are designed to fully comply with the applicable standards
of the R-H (Residential High-Density) zoning district and the City of Greeley’s development code. Lot dimensions, building envelopes,
setbacks, and orientation have been carefully planned to ensure that each unit can be developed in accordance with all applicable site
design standards, including access, circulation, landscaping, and utility requirements. The layout provides functional and efficient lots that
support the proposed rowhome product type while maintaining consistency with zoning regulations. The proposed blocks and lots are
capable of meeting all applicable development and site design standards and are structured to support successful, code-compliant9
implementation of the project.

Review Criteria
Preliminary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 24-203.b.1 (a)-(i)
5)

The application demonstrates a preliminary likelihood of being able to meet the design, construction,
performance, and maintenance requirements for all required improvements.
The Cedarwoods Rowhousing project is designed to meet all applicable design, construction, performance, and maintenance
requirements for required public and private improvements. The proposed development has been prepared in accordance with the City of
Greeley’s development standards and reflects ongoing coordination with City staff to ensure full compliance with all applicable codes,
specifications, and review requirements. Required improvements, including streets, utilities, drainage systems, and landscaping, will be
designed and constructed in conformance with City standards and accepted engineering practices.

6)

Any phasing is clearly indicated and demonstrates a logical and coordinated approach to development, and the
timing, location, and construction of amenities is consistent throughout phases.
The Cedarwoods Rowhousing project is planned to be developed as a single, cohesive phase, eliminating the need for phased
development. All required improvements, including access, utilities, drainage, landscaping, and open space elements, are designed as an
integrated system and will be constructed concurrently with the development. This approach ensures consistency in the timing, location,
and delivery of all infrastructure and amenities across the site. By developing the project in one phase, the site will function as a complete
and fully integrated residential community upon completion, with no interim conditions or partial infrastructure. This coordinated approach
reduces complexity, supports efficient construction, and ensures that all required improvements are delivered in alignment with City
standards. This project provides a clear, logical, and coordinated approach to development, with all amenities and infrastructure delivered
10
consistently as part of a single phase implementation.

Review Criteria
Preliminary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 24-203.b.1 (a)-(i)
7)

Any impacts identified by specific studies or technical reports, including a review of storm water, are mitigated with generally
accepted and sound planning, engineering, and urban design solutions that reflect long-term solutions and sound fiscal
investments.
Stormwater management, grading, and site drainage have been incorporated into the design in accordance with City of Greeley
standards, ensuring that runoff is properly conveyed and controlled without creating adverse impacts to the site or adjacent properties. The
proposed design integrates with existing infrastructure systems and reflects established engineering practices that support long-term
performance and reliability.
The project leverages an infill site with existing infrastructure and prior disturbance, which inherently reduces the potential for
environmental and infrastructure-related impacts. Site design, circulation, and utility coordination have been thoughtfully arranged to
function efficiently within the existing context, eliminating the need for extraordinary improvements or off-site mitigation.

8)

The design does not impede the construction of anticipated or planned future public infrastructure within the
area, or deter future development of adjacent property from meeting the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Located within the Long Range Expected Growth Area (LREGA), the site is surrounded by existing residential, senior living, and
commercial development, as well as established infrastructure systems. The proposed development builds upon this context by utilizing an
underdeveloped parcel in a manner that is consistent with the City’s planned growth framework and does not require or preclude future
11
infrastructure improvements. All proposed utilities, access, and drainage systems are designed to integrate with existing and planned

East: C-H
West: C-H
Abutting Land Uses
The surrounding area is developed as part of Downtown Greeley with a mix of civic,
institutional, commercial, parking, and other urban uses. Properties identified on the preliminary
plat include City of Greeley, Weld County, Weld County School District 6, religious, commercial,
and other private properties.
Site Characteristics:
The site is an existing developed downtown block that is largely paved and currently
includes the Weld County courts juror parking area and existing urban infrastructure. The
subdivision area contains no identified environmentally sensitive areas. Existing streets,
alleys, utilities, and other urban improvements are present in and around the site.
D. BACKGROUND
The Civic Campus Subdivision is part of a larger effort to redevelop the Juror Block in
Downtown Greeley. Weld County completed a facilities master plan in September 2024 that
recommended relocation of the judicial center. A subsequent master planning effort
evaluated land trades and redevelopment opportunities for the downtown civic campus. In
July 2025, the Weld County Board of County Commissioners voted to support the plan, and
in August 2025 the Greeley City Council approved a pre-development agreement with
Richmark Vertikal, LLC for conceptual design and entitlements.
The broader Juror Block concept includes a new City Hall, a hotel, and a District 6
Administration Building, along with public walkways, an enhanced alley, greenspace, and
small gathering areas. The preliminary subdivision establishes the lot and easement
framework needed to support that redevelopment. Construction of the principal Juror Block
improvements is anticipated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, with related civic campus
projects occurring on separate schedules.

Civic Campus – Juror Block
Major Subdivision (Preliminary and Final Plat)
Project Narrative
Project Intent, Size, and Scale
In the heart of downtown Greeley, a bold vision is taking shape—one that reflects the city’s commitment to revitalization,
civic engagement, and economic prosperity. Richmark Vertikal, LLC is working on behalf of the City of Greeley to develop a
brand-new City Hall, a hotel, and coordinate with the design of the new District 6 Administration Building on what is
currently the Weld County courts juror parking lot which is roughly 3.98 Acres in size. These buildings, along with some
existing buildings to remain, will be interconnected by greenspace dotted along an iconic walkway and enhanced alley
providing not only safe passage and walkability but also small, shaded public gathering areas throughout the site.
The development will consist of three principal structures:
•
•
•

City Hall: A five-story building designed to streamline municipal services and foster public accessibility.
Hotel: A mid-rise property with full-service restaurant aimed at supporting downtown events, business travel, and
tourism, with amenities for both visitors and locals.
School Administration Building: A facility to house district leadership, board meeting spaces, and essential support
services.

In addition to angled street parking provided, parking for these facilities will be addressed with a parking garage, to be
constructed across the street in a future phase, ensuring accessibility while minimizing surface parking and preserving the
walkable urban fabric.
This project addresses all areas within the property lines of the juror parking lot block. Other city-wide infrastructure
improvements are scheduled to take place outside the boundaries of this project.
History
In September of 2024 Weld County completed a facilities master plan which made the recommendation to relocate the
judicial center out of downtown to O street. Using a series of proposed land trades, a master plan was developed to show
the economic and community benefit of building a new city hall, school administration building and hotel on what is
currently the Weld County juror parking lot. In exchange, the County can build their justice center directly across the street
from their current facility utilizing limited downtown land much more efficiently. In July of 2025 Weld County Board of
County Commissioners voted to support the plan. August of 2025 City Council approved the pre-development agreement
with Richmark Vertikal, LLC to complete conceptual design and entitlements for the Juror Block.
Design
Upon completion, the new facilities will anchor a vibrant downtown node characterized by modern architecture, public
walkways, and sustainable design principles. The development will feature:
•

City Hall: Open lobby, council chambers, public service counters, office suites, and community spaces. Security and
technology upgrades will support e-government initiatives and emergency preparedness.

5200 W. 20 Street, Greeley, CO 80634

th

•
•

School Administration Building: Reception area, conference rooms, administrative offices, and areas for public
engagement. Flexible meeting spaces will facilitate collaboration with educators, families, and community partners.
Hotel: Guest rooms, event facilities, full-service restaurant, and fitness amenities, designed to accommodate both
leisure and business travelers. Streetscape improvements will enhance curb appeal and encourage pedestrian activity.

Stormwater quality management systems, energy-efficient lighting, and landscaping will be incorporated throughout the
site. The project will also support public art installations and shaded seating areas to foster community interaction.
Timing
This block is the first major development project within the larger Civic Campus context. We anticipate construction
beginning on the juror block (for City Hall, the hotel and District 6 administration building) in the fourth quarter of 2026
and lasting approximately two years. If this project is delayed, the following projects also are delayed. It is imperative
that we keep this project on schedule. Those other projects include:
•

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

A temporary parking lot (TEMP2508-0590) which was approved on December 5, 2025. This provides relocation of
some of the parking stalls lost on the juror block so that the construction of city hall may begin prior to the
parking garage construction. The temporary parking lot will be constructed in the early spring of 2026.
Weld County Justice Center construction is anticipated in the Winter of 2026 to Spring of 2029
Weld County Parking Lot will be submitted by Richmark Vertikal for Site Plan Review in January of 2026 and
construction will be in the fall of 2026
Parking garage construction anticipated in fall of 2028 to Winter of 2029
Weld County Administration building construction anticipated in Winter of 2031
Stormwater conveyance and outfall projects are to be completed by City with schedule to be determined
Sanitary sewer and water upgrades in adjacent streets are to be completed by the City and the schedule is to be
determined.
Traffic and street improvements will be completed by the Public Works Department as utility upgrades are
completed. Re-striping of streets may begin in the spring of 2026.

Zoning
This site is zoned Commercial – High Intensity (C-H) and is located within the Downtown Overlay 1 special district area.
Therefore, this project is exempt from providing off-street parking, on-site open space, limits on density, building height and
minimum setbacks.
This project will comply with all requirements of the Downtown Overlay 1 District as outlined below:
1) Reflect the historic development patterns by staying within the existing street patterns
2) Complement the scale, mass, form and design of buildings by complementing the materiality of existing buildings
while providing a modern aesthetic.
3) Promote the unique character of downtown Greeley through thoughtful site design
4) Coordinate development in the downtown area with the design and investments in public spaces, including
streets, civic spaces, and other gathering places by providing safe passage between buildings and small gathering
spaces throughout.

5200 W. 20 Street, Greeley, CO 80634
richmarkcompanies.com
th

5) Implement the planning and urban design policies for downtown reflected in the comprehensive plan, or any
specific plan for any parts of the downtown area as described in the Comprehensive Plan Goal Compliance section.
This project will contribute to the area and further the intent of the zone district in multiple ways. Economically, it will keep
important jobs downtown which provide a cliental base for existing businesses. It will promote multi-modal transportation
by being in the urban center. It will provide higher density uses within smaller footprints.

Development Code Compliance
Sec. 24-203. - Major subdivision
b. Preliminary plat. The preliminary plat provides detailed planning review of development patterns, street networks, block
and lot layout, and the ability to meet public facility and utility requirements for future development, prior to preparation
of detailed construction and engineering plans. A preliminary plat shall be processed according to the following specific
procedures:
1.Review criteria. A preliminary plat shall be reviewed according to the following criteria:
(a) The application is in accordance with the comprehensive plan, or any other specific plan created under that plan, and in
particular, the physical development patterns and design concepts of the plan.
Yes. The Juror Block project complies with the comprehensive plan as well as the Downtown Overlay 1 special
district area.
(b) The development and infrastructure is arranged in a manner to minimize impacts on geologic hazards, environmentally
sensitive areas, wildlife habitat, or other natural features of the land.
Though no environmentally sensitive areas exist on site, the project aims to improve water quality though Low
Impact Design standards utilizing rain gardens and other vegetative water management devices as well as utilize a
native plant palette to connect to the existing urban habitat in and around the site.
(c) The arrangement and proposed design of streets, blocks, and open spaces meet the development and design standards
of the subdivision regulations and are coordinated with existing or potential development on adjacent property.
Yes. The proposed site layout, streetscape, and public spaces substantially comply with the intent of the
subdivision regulations. The design establishes safe passage between buildings and enhances connection with the
downtown through the design of an enhanced alley and small public gathering spaces.
(d) The proposed blocks and lots are capable of meeting all development and site design standards under the applicable
zoning district.
Yes. The site layout fully complies with the C-H Zone District with consideration of the Downtown Overlay 1 District
and will promote and enhance the uniqueness of Downtown Greeley while providing needed civic spaces.
(e) The application demonstrates a preliminary likelihood of being able to meet the design, construction, performance, and
maintenance requirements for all required improvements.
Yes. Weekly meetings are held with City departments to ensure project success during design, construction and
long term maintenance.

5200 W. 20 Street, Greeley, CO 80634
richmarkcompanies.com
th

(f) Any phasing is clearly indicated and demonstrates a logical and coordinated approach to development, and the timing,
location, and construction of amenities is consistent throughout phases.
Yes. Though the timeline for this project is accelerated, by working intimately with the City and District 6, the plan
is for the buildings to be completed first and the construction of the parking garage to follow.
(g) Any impacts identified by specific studies or technical reports, including a review of stormwater, are mitigated with
generally accepted and sound planning, engineering, and urban design solutions that reflect long-term solutions and sound
fiscal investments.
Yes.
The trip generation for our project requires an intermediate level Traffic Impact Study (TIS) per city’s code
requirements. However, we were asked to provide a full level TIS and include the parking garage which will be
submitted under it’s own Site Plan Review in two years. The traffic study shows that the traffic for this project
(including the parking garage) does not warrant any street improvements. Therefore, we do not plan on submitting
a new TIS for the parking garage project if submitted within three years.
Regarding stormwater, the site is currently a paved parking lot and we are proposing to increase the impervious
area. Due to the exemptions to the detention requirement as outlined in section 10.02 of the Design Criteria and
Construction Specifications Volume II Storm Drainage (September 2024) this site is not required to provide on-site
detention. It is located within the downtown redevelopment district, the impervious area is being decreased, the
site is designed to generate a peak runoff rate from each of the subbasins within the parcel equal to or less than
the pre-development peak runoff rate for all storm events and it is in the best interest of the City.
However, it has been decided that the City’s stormwater department wants to include detention. The agreement is
that the design and construction of the underground detention, as well as any other improvements not otherwise
associated with the water quality requirement, will be paid for by separate funds from the Stormwater
Department. Additionally, if the additional requests cause any delay of schedule they will be removed.
(h) The design does not impede the construction of anticipated or planned future public infrastructure within the area, or
deter future development on adjacent property from meeting the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan.
No, the design does not impede future anticipated construction of public infrastructure. We know that there is a
capitol improvements project planned for improved public stormwater infrastructure in the area and our project will tie
into the new stormwater as required while also addressing stormwater and water quality on-site as enhancements to the
planned improvements to public stormwater infrastructure happening around the site.

(i) The recommendations of professional staff or any other referral agencies authorized to review the subdivision plan.
CDOT and the fire department requirements will be followed.

Comprehensive Plan Goal Compliance
The proposed development of a new civic campus in downtown Greeley—including City Hall, a hotel, and the District 6
Administration Building—demonstrates strong compliance with the City of Greeley Comprehensive Plan and City of Greeley
Development Code section 24. This transformative project supports numerous goals and objectives outlined in the Plan and
Code, fostering a vibrant, sustainable, and connected downtown core.

th

Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan is as follows:
1. Strengthening Downtown as a Civic and Cultural Hub
One of the central goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to reinforce downtown Greeley as the heart of civic, cultural, and
economic activity. By situating City Hall and the District 6 Administration Building in the city's core, the project directly fulfills
this objective. These civic anchors increase foot traffic, encourage public engagement, and foster a sense of place. The
addition of a hotel further supports downtown's role as a destination for both residents and visitors, facilitating tourism and
local events.
•
•

Goal: Encourage public and private investment in the downtown area.
Objective: Locate government facilities and community services in the downtown core to stimulate activity and
economic development.

2. Promoting Mixed-Use Development and Economic Vitality
The integration of a hotel alongside civic and administrative buildings exemplifies the Plan's emphasis on mixed-use
development. This approach not only diversifies downtown uses but also generates complementary activity. For example,
hotel guests may patronize local restaurants, shops, and cultural venues, enhancing economic vibrancy.
•
•

Goal: Promote a mix of land uses—such as offices, government, hospitality, and retail—in key downtown locations.
Objective: Attract private investments that complement public facilities and strengthen the downtown economy.

3. Enhancing Public Spaces and Connectivity
The plan for a small central plaza and enhanced alleyway on site will provide safe passage between new buildings and
existing aligning with objectives to improve the urban environment and provide accessible, high-quality connected public
spaces. Small public gathering areas foster community interaction, spark civic discussions, and create inviting pedestrian
corridors for a connected downtown.
•
•

Goal: Improve the quality and accessibility of downtown’s public realm.
Objective: Develop multiple small gathering places surrounded by greenspace and enhance pedestrian walkability
through enhanced alleyways and an iconic connected path through the site.

4. Sustainable Urban Development and Infrastructure Efficiency
By concentrating new civic and hospitality development within existing urban infrastructure, the project supports more
efficient land use and leverages existing transportation, utilities, and public services. This minimizes sprawl and aligns with
the Plan’s sustainability goals.
•
•

Goal: Encourage infill development and maximize the use of existing infrastructure in the urban core.
Objective: Reduce the need for new infrastructure expansion by prioritizing redevelopment within established areas.

5. Supporting Educational and Community Partnerships
The inclusion of the District 6 Administration Building reflects the Plan’s encouragement of collaboration between local
government, educational institutions, and civic organizations. Such partnerships strengthen the city’s social infrastructure
and support long-term community success.
•

Goal: Build partnerships between the City, school districts, and other community stakeholders.

LESS.

5) Public safety. Access, whether for emergency or nonemergency purposes, is granted over and across all
access ways for police, fire and emergency vehicles.
6) Drainage master plan. The policy of the city requires that all new development and redevelopment shall
participate in the required drainage improvements as set forth below:
i) Design and construct the local drainage system as defined by the final drainage report and plan
and the stormwater management plan.
ii) Design and construct the connection of the subdivision drainage system to a drainage way of
established conveyance capacity, such as a master planned outfall storm sewer or master planned
major drainage way. The city will require that the connection of the minor and major systems
provide capacity to convey only those flows (including off-site flows) leaving the specific
development site. To minimize overall capital costs, the city encourages adjacent developments to
join in designing and constructing connection systems. Also, the city may choose to participate with
a developer in the design and construction of the connection system.
(iii) Equitable participation in the design and construction of the major drainage way system that
serves the development as defined by adopted master drainage way plans or as required by the city
and designed in the final drainage report and the stormwater management plan.
7) Street lighting. All lots are subject to and bound by tariffs which are now and may in the future be filed
with the public utilities commission of the state relating to street lighting in this subdivision, together
with rates, rules, and regulations therein provided and subject to all future amendments and changes
thereto. The owners or their successors and/or assigns in interest, shall pay, as billed, a portion of the
cost of public street lighting in the subdivision in accordance with applicable rates, rules, and regulations,
including future amendments and changes on file with the public utilities commission.

SURVEY NOTES:
1) This survey does not constitute a title search by AXIS Surveying to determine ownership or easements
of record. AXIS Surveying relied upon STEWART TITLE GUARANTY COMPANY Commitment Number:
2702497 dated August 14, 2025 at 8:00 AM to aid in Easement and Ownership research.

2) The Basis of Bearings is the North line of Block 77, Map of Greeley as bearing South 89°32'36" East a
distance of 401.82' and monumented as shown on drawing.
3) The Civic Campus Subdivision contains 136,957 square feet, or 3.14 acres, more or less.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:

4) The lineal unit of measurement for this survey is U. S. Survey Feet.

Recommended by the City of Greeley Planning Commission, this ______ day of _________________________,
2026.

5) Fieldwork was completed on September 24, 2025.
6) Horizontal datum is a local coordinate system based on NGS "RULLI" (400000,800000).
7) Vertical datum is NAVD88 and NGS Benchmark "B 392" with a published NAVD88 elevation listed as
4674.77 feet and located with GPS with an elevation of 4674.96 feet was utilized in this survey.

____________________________________
Planning Commission

8) Zoning: All parcels shown on this plat are currently zoned "C-H" (Commercial High Intensity.)

8) Water or sewer main easements. There shall be no permanent structures, fences, detention ponds,
landscaping (plantings or berms) greater than three feet, tall mature growth, or other encumbrances
located in water or sewer main easements.

9) The intent of this plat is to remove any existing property/lot lines within the bounds of the Civic
Campus Subdivision and to create the 4 new lots shown herein. Furthermore, existing easements are
being vacated and new easements are being dedicated.

TITLE COMMITMENT/DESCRIPTION NOTES:

SURVEYOR'S NOTES:

1. Parcel 3 was included in the Title Description, but at the request of the client was excluded from the
survey mapping boundary and area calculations.

1) THOSE DISTANCES AND BEARINGS THAT DEVIATE FROM THE TITLE DESCRIPTION(S)/PLAT OF RECORD
HAVE BEEN SHOWN WITH A RECORD (R) AND MEASURED (M) DENOTATION.

2. Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 of the Title Description are redundant and overlap with Parcel 9, Parcel 10 and
Parcel 11. It is my belief that they have been included in the Title Description to mitigate any possible
gap between the North 125 feet of Lots 1 and 2 and the South 65 feet of Lots 1 and 2.

Review Criteria
Preliminary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 24-203.b.1 (a)-(i)
1)

The proposal is in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and any other plan, policy or guidance
adopted pursuant to that plan.
Imagine Greeley states that there is a, “growing support in the community to accommodate future growth with higher-density” developments. As proposed the project is a rowhome development that is adding additional housing types to the
immediate area promoting a higher density. Objective GC 1.2 encourages compact urban form over sprawl or leap-frog development. The proposed project is looking to develop a current vacant lot that has development on all four sides.
Looking to take advantage of an under-utilized parcel aligned with this objective. Objective GC 1.4 further encourages a compact urban form, outlining that this method is desirable as an alternative to linear or sprawl developments in the
LREGA. This project furthers this objective as a parcel located within the LREGA that is looking to develop in a compact urban form that is compatible and complimentary of the existing and surrounding uses. Objective GC 2.1 also states to
maintain compliance with the Land Use Guidance Map, as stated above the proposed project aligns with and furthers the goal as set by the plan. Objective GC 2.2 prioritizes supporting zoning and development patterns that expand
opportunities for people who live in Greeley to also work in Greeley and vice versa. This project aligns with this objective by proposing additional attainable housing stock in an area that has established commercial and jobs, but also in the
greater and quickly developing west Greeley. Objective GC 2.3 encourages walking and bicycling whenever possible by locating employment, shopping, recreation, entertainment, transit, and other services withing ¼ mile of residential
areas. Within ¼ mile of this proposed residential development includes service businesses, health care, offices, schools, and recreation aligning completely with this objective. Objective GC 3.1 this objective promotes new development to
enhance the character of the community. By developing a currently vacant parcel into an attractive and desirable residential community that addresses and fills many of the City’s identified housing needs, the proposal aligns with this
objective. Objective GC 3.4 encourages the communities’ image as a “Tree City.” This development will not only embrace but further this objective by adding additional approved trees species to the City of Greeley’s robust and growing tree
canopy. Objective GC 4.1 is to prioritize infill development; this project is the proposal of an infill residential development. Objective GC 4.3 focuses on the encouragement of infill compatibility. This proposal is to design, develop, and deliver
an attractive residential community that not only fits in with the established fabric of the area but further it, through site design and architecture. Objective GC 6.1 is to foster the development of “Complete Neighborhoods” that prioritize
connectivity and character. The project as proposed will feature a rowhome residential development that furthers the goals of a creating a “Complete Neighborhood” by delivering and promoting a variety of attributes that contribute to day-today living by allowing the immediate area to have residential, commercial, employment, and mixed uses. By developing a residential infill project, it will help create a sense of place in an area with existing mixed uses that will truly allow
people to live, work, grow, and play in their own neighborhood. Objective GC 6.5 champions neighborhood reinvestment, currently the parcel is a vacant property that is underutilized, by allowing this proposed project to develop into an
attractive and needed housing development, it aligns with this goal to reinvest in neighborhoods with new landscaping, infrastructure, utilities, and housing.
Imagine Greeley Identified Goal: Housing Analysis: Imagine Greeley confirms that the City has continued to champion its original settlers as a community that actively works to improve housing access for all people while supporting housing
diversity. The proposed project looks to target the “missing middle” housing type by delivering a product type that is attainable and meets the needs of Greeley’s desired workforce. Objective HO 2.1 sets the vision to encourage a variety of
housing types to ensure that the City has neighborhoods that attract all residents. The project as proposed will add additional rowhome residential housing to the area, this will help increase the overall housing stock but also target the
“missing middle” housing fostering a community wide variety housing types, sizes, styles, and price-points to attract a wide variety of residents and create a stronger community and further the goal to obtain a Complete Neighborhood.
Imagine Greeley Identified Goal: Infrastructure Analysis: Imagine Greeley outlines the importance of infrastructure as the City continues to grow, this includes public facilities, parks, and transportation. As proposed this project will design,
develop, and deliver a multi-family residential infill project that will coordinate with City staff and applicable stakeholders to design, develop, and deliver additional water, sanitary, storm water, multi-modal, and housing infrastructure.
Imagine Greeley Identified Goal: Natural Resources & Open Lands Analysis: Imagine Greeley identifies that planning for the natural environment along side development is a priority. It goes on to put an emphasis on tree plantings which
gave the City its nickname as “The Garden Spot of the West” and water conservation. As the City of Greeley continues to grow Imagine Greeley dictates that the City will build on and expand its existing efforts for environmental stewardship
which extends to but is not limited to just water conservation and increasing the City’s tree canopy. Objective NR 1.3 encourages water conservation and related practices. The proposed development will utilize native, City approved, low
water use plantings and materials to algin with this objective.

2)

The development and infrastructure is arranged in a manner to minimize impacts of geologic hazards, environmentally sensitive
areas, wildlife habitat, or other natural features of the land.
The Cedarwoods Rowhousing project has been designed and arranged to minimize impacts on geologic hazards, environmentally sensitive areas, wildlife habitat, and other
natural features of the land. The subject property is an infill parcel located within the Long Range Expected Growth Area (LREGA) and is surrounded by existing urban
development. The site does not contain known geologic hazards, significant natural features, or designated environmentally sensitive areas.

8

Review Criteria
Preliminary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 24-203.b.1 (a)-(i)
3)

The arrangement and proposed design of streets, blocks, and open spaces meet the development and design
standards of the subdivision regulations and are coordinated with existing or potential development on
adjacent property.
The proposed street, block, and lot layout maintains an efficient and logical development pattern that aligns with City standards and
reflects the established urban fabric of the area. Internal circulation and access are designed to function effectively while supporting a
compact, infill development pattern that maximizes the use of the site without compromising design quality or livability. The internal
circulation network is further enhanced by a system of pedestrian-scale sidewalks and pathways that provide direct and intuitive
connections throughout the site. These pedestrian routes are complemented by refined frontage and foundation plantings that reinforce
the residential character of the development and create a more comfortable, human-scaled environment. The landscape design has been
developed in alignment with Section 24-802 (Landscape Design) of the City of Greeley Development Code and reflects close coordination
with City staff to ensure compliance and overall site quality.

4)

The proposed blocks and lots are capable of meeting all development and site design standards under the
applicable zoning district.
The proposed blocks and lots within the Cedarwoods Rowhousing development are designed to fully comply with the applicable standards
of the R-H (Residential High-Density) zoning district and the City of Greeley’s development code. Lot dimensions, building envelopes,
setbacks, and orientation have been carefully planned to ensure that each unit can be developed in accordance with all applicable site
design standards, including access, circulation, landscaping, and utility requirements. The layout provides functional and efficient lots that
support the proposed rowhome product type while maintaining consistency with zoning regulations. The proposed blocks and lots are
capable of meeting all applicable development and site design standards and are structured to support successful, code-compliant9
implementation of the project.

Review Criteria
Preliminary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 24-203.b.1 (a)-(i)
5)

The application demonstrates a preliminary likelihood of being able to meet the design, construction,
performance, and maintenance requirements for all required improvements.
The Cedarwoods Rowhousing project is designed to meet all applicable design, construction, performance, and maintenance
requirements for required public and private improvements. The proposed development has been prepared in accordance with the City of
Greeley’s development standards and reflects ongoing coordination with City staff to ensure full compliance with all applicable codes,
specifications, and review requirements. Required improvements, including streets, utilities, drainage systems, and landscaping, will be
designed and constructed in conformance with City standards and accepted engineering practices.

6)

Any phasing is clearly indicated and demonstrates a logical and coordinated approach to development, and the
timing, location, and construction of amenities is consistent throughout phases.
The Cedarwoods Rowhousing project is planned to be developed as a single, cohesive phase, eliminating the need for phased
development. All required improvements, including access, utilities, drainage, landscaping, and open space elements, are designed as an
integrated system and will be constructed concurrently with the development. This approach ensures consistency in the timing, location,
and delivery of all infrastructure and amenities across the site. By developing the project in one phase, the site will function as a complete
and fully integrated residential community upon completion, with no interim conditions or partial infrastructure. This coordinated approach
reduces complexity, supports efficient construction, and ensures that all required improvements are delivered in alignment with City
standards. This project provides a clear, logical, and coordinated approach to development, with all amenities and infrastructure delivered
10
consistently as part of a single phase implementation.

Review Criteria
Preliminary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 24-203.b.1 (a)-(i)
7)

Any impacts identified by specific studies or technical reports, including a review of storm water, are mitigated with generally
accepted and sound planning, engineering, and urban design solutions that reflect long-term solutions and sound fiscal
investments.
Stormwater management, grading, and site drainage have been incorporated into the design in accordance with City of Greeley
standards, ensuring that runoff is properly conveyed and controlled without creating adverse impacts to the site or adjacent properties. The
proposed design integrates with existing infrastructure systems and reflects established engineering practices that support long-term
performance and reliability.
The project leverages an infill site with existing infrastructure and prior disturbance, which inherently reduces the potential for
environmental and infrastructure-related impacts. Site design, circulation, and utility coordination have been thoughtfully arranged to
function efficiently within the existing context, eliminating the need for extraordinary improvements or off-site mitigation.

8)

The design does not impede the construction of anticipated or planned future public infrastructure within the
area, or deter future development of adjacent property from meeting the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Located within the Long Range Expected Growth Area (LREGA), the site is surrounded by existing residential, senior living, and
commercial development, as well as established infrastructure systems. The proposed development builds upon this context by utilizing an
underdeveloped parcel in a manner that is consistent with the City’s planned growth framework and does not require or preclude future
11
infrastructure improvements. All proposed utilities, access, and drainage systems are designed to integrate with existing and planned
