PURPOSE:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use for 799 West Littleton Boulevard; the request is to allow for the conditional use of a Mixed-Use development proposed along West Littleton Boulevard in the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zone district.
LONG-TERM OUTCOME(S) SERVED:
High-Quality Governance
Robust and Resilient Economy
DISCUSSION:
The proposed Conditional Use Permit will allow for the applicant to construct a mixed-use building with full site plan that includes four townhomes and one commercial/office space. The applicant is seeking the approval of this Conditional Use Permit to pursue a development that provides a residential component while maintaining a commercial aspect to the proposed project.
BACKGROUND:
On April 17, 2025, a Pre-Application Meeting was held with the applicant (PREAPP25-0018). The initial idea presented to staff through PREAPP25-0018 was to build Live/Work Units at this location. The requirements for this building type limited the scope of the project to two (2) units and the applicant decided this would not be feasible to pursue for this site. The applicant had also suggested building townhomes as an alternative.
Staff found that a proposal that offered only townhomes would not be permitted within NC zoning per the Land Use Matrix (Table 10-1-1.3.1). However, the Land Use Matrix does show that a Mixed-Use Building may be considered as a Conditional Use with Standards, requiring approval from the Planning Commission for a conditional use permit. The ULUC defines a mixed-use building as a building that incorporates residential and non-residential uses within a single building. Ultimately, the applicant chose to proceed with a design for this mixed-use project that incorporates a small office space with an entrance along West Littleton Boulevard and features four townhome units as part of the proposal. While a full site plan was submitted concurrently with the conditional use application, it remains under administrative review and staff is working with the applicant to finalize that process. Site plan approval is conducted administratively and is not part of, nor subject to, the Planning Commission’s review or decision on the conditional use request.
Pursuant to Section 10-9-5.1 of the Unified Land Use Code (the “ULUC”), a public hearing is being held to determine if the proposed use meets the review criteria for a conditional use, as listed below:
1. Proposed Benefits. The proposed use and its contemplated size, intensity, and location will provide a use that is necessary or desirable for the neighborhood and community;
2. Adverse Impacts. The proposed use will minimize any adverse impacts on any adjacent property or use;
3. Detrimental Impacts. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or to property, improvements, or potential development in the vicinity based on:
a. The nature of the proposed site, including its size, shape, and topography and the proposed size, location, and arrangement of structures;
b. The accessibility and patterns of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, including the type and volume of traffic, locations of ingress and egress, and the adequacy of off-street parking and loading; and
c. The provisions for landscaping. screening, common open space, service areas, lighting, and signage.
The applicant has worked closely with staff and all outside agencies on any outstanding comments and have addressed all comments or the agencies have conditionally approved the application.
