POLICY QUESTION:
Should the city council approve the Littleton Village Replat 2 Subdivision final plat?
BACKGROUND:
Century Communities has submitted a final plat for 110 residential lots in the Littleton Village project, a 77 acre mixed-use development at the northeast corner of Dry Creek Road and South Broadway.
The city council approved a final plat for the overall project on July 1, 2014, establishing 13, three to six-acre parcels for future development. The proposed Replat comprises three parcels in the easterly 43-acre residential portion of the project: Lot 1, Block 3 (20 single-family lots); Lot 2, Block 3 (22 single-family lots); and Lot 1, Block 7 (68 townhome lots).
Zoning regulations for Littleton Village, including minimum lot sizes and maximum densities, are established on the amended Littleton Village General Planned Development Plan (GPDP), approved by city council in August, 2013.
Architectural and site development requirements are set forth in the Littleton Village Design Standards and Guidelines, a component of the GPDP implemented by staff.
The planning board approved the preliminary plat for Littleton Village Replat 2 on September 22, 2014. Besides the above-described lots, the preliminary plat included Lot 2, Block 4 (22 single-family lots). The final plat does not include this portion of the preliminary plat because the applicant will amend Lot 2, Block 4 of the preliminary plat to accommodate townhome lots instead of single-family lots.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
General Description:
The final plat establishes individual building lots consistent with the zoning regulations in the approved GPDP and the parcel configuration in the overall Littleton Village Final Plat. Each of the three proposed development areas is accessed by streets within the development, as shown by the GPDP. The configuration of lots support the GPDP design concepts that promote the integration of residential and commercial uses on the site, while also taking advantage of views and orientation around the development's open space.
Parcel Q of the GPDP (Lot 1, Block 3)
Proposed lots are for single-family detached homes located east of South Logan Street and north of East Hinsdale Avenue. Homes gain vehicle access from private alleys and front onto public streets or open space.

FISCAL IMPACTS:
Capital impact facility fees will be collected for each unit at the time of building permit issuance to expand capital facilities for the new population. As proposed, the project would create $406,560 in capital facility impact fees.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Section 11-3-2(C)(3) of the city code provides that if the director of community development and the director of public works certify that the final plat is in compliance with the approved preliminary plat, the plat shall be submitted to the city council for final approval.
The proposed final plat for Littleton Village Replat 2 Subdivision meets the city's subdivision and engineering requirements, has been approved as to form, and complies with the approved preliminary plat. Staff recommends approval of the final plat.
