POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support the replat of a part of Block 3 of the Broadmoor Sixth Filing?
BACKGROUND:
Block 3 of the Broadmoor Sixth Filing Subdivision is located at the corner of Littleton Boulevard and South Broadway and comprises the Littleton Square Shopping Center anchored by the King Soopers grocery store. On December 9, 2013, the planning board approved a Planned Development Overlay (PDO) for the redevelopment of the shopping center to include a new 74,000 square foot King Soopers grocery store and a refresh for the inline retail stores and parking lot. Construction of the project was completed in February, 2015.
Minor Subdivision Process
A minor subdivision is a plat that includes 10 or fewer lots, all lots front on a dedicated public street, and the plat meets the minimum standards of the subdivision and zoning code. The approval process is as follows:
Preliminary Plat
(administrative approval)
Ø Final Plat
(city council approval)
Section 11-4-2(C) of the Littleton City Code states that if the Director of Community Development and the Director of Public Works certify the proposed final plat is within accepted engineering principles and is in conformance with the ordinances of the city it shall be submitted for city council approval.
Broadmoor Seventh Filing Minor Subdivision Proposal
On behalf of Regency Centers, L.P., Galloway & Company has applied for a minor subdivision to replat Broadmoor Sixth Filing for the purpose of selling a portion of the shopping center to King Soopers Marketplace. The proposed Broadmoor Seventh Filing consists of three lots. The larger lot at the center of the site includes the grocery store and a majority of the parking lot. The two smaller lots include the inline shops and restaurants located at the perimeter of the shopping center and the remainder of the parking spaces.
Although the proposed replat would create property lines within the parking lot, access to the parking spaces for all businesses in the shopping center is protected by a cross access and parking easement as set forth in Note #8 on the cover sheet of the proposed Seventh Filing plat.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The following is the analysis of the proposal with the city’s final plat regulations for minor subdivisions.
Section 11-4-2(C) 1 of the city’s subdivision regulations for minor subdivision plats states:
City staff shall review the proposed preliminary plat and final plat for compliance with the provisions of this title, other applicable regulations, the comprehensive plan, existing and proposed development, and comments from affected agencies and shall frame the city staff’s formal recommendation on the proposed final plat.
1. Compliance with provisions of the subdivision regulations
The final plat meets all of the provisions of the subdivision code, in that it was prepared by a registered surveyor and includes all the applicable information found in section 11-5-1(C).
2. Compliance with the King Soopers PDO and Site Development Plan (SDP)
Zoning standards established with the PDO including setbacks, floor area ratios and open space are unaffected with the proposed final plat, which are calculated for the overall site, rather than on individual lots.
Access and parking within the shopping center will not be impacted by the final plat because a cross access and parking easement is established in Note #8 on the final plat allowing for each property to have full access to the overall shopping center site.
3. Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
At the time that the King Soopers PDO Plan was approved, the city found that the proposed development complied with the Comprehensive Plan.
4. Compliance with existing and proposed development
The final plat is consistent with the underlying King Soopers PDO and SDP plans, which represent a unified site design for the shopping center including floor area ratio, setbacks and open space.
5. Comments from affected agencies
The city received referral comments from Xcel Energy stating it has no concerns with the proposed minor subdivision.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Community Development and Public Works staff finds that the final plat for the Broadmoor Seventh Filing Minor Subdivision conforms to the requirements of the city’s subdivision regulations, the King Soopers PDO Plan, the City of Littleton Comprehensive Plan and utility requirements. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the final plat.
