DISCUSSION:
The proposed 1st Street Farms development is a mixed-use commercial and community project designed to activate a currently vacant site along the South Platte Park Open Space in the RiverPark development located at Santa Fe and Mineral Ave. The development is intended to function as a community-oriented destination that combines commercial activity with public amenities and gathering spaces.
The Project spans two contiguous parcels totaling roughly 5 acres. A trail running through the adjacent South Platte Park Open Space, the E-trail[BG1], runs parallel to the Project site. The Applicant proposes to connect the open space and trail system with the Project via trail extensions running through the Project property. The trail extensions will lead into a community turf field on the southern end of the property, and continue north towards the primary building containing a restaurant and event venue.
