Rezoning: Grant Creek Village/2920 Expo Parkway

UPDATE: On September 14, 2020 City Council rejected the ordinance to rezone this property. This case is now closed for comment.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

An application is under review for rezoning approximately 44 acres consisting of two parcels of land to RM1-45 Residential (multi-dwelling). The parcels are currently zoned R5.4 Residential, RM1-35 Residential (multi-dwelling), B2-2 Community Business, and C1-4 Neighborhood Commercial. The property is located in the Lower Grant Creek area west of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation headquarters and north of Expo Parkway (see link to Maps of project area below).

With the zoning in place today, the property could be developed with 158 single-dwelling and duplex homes and 344 multi-dwelling homes (502 total) with a maximum building height of 35 feet. With the proposed zoning, a combination of housing types could be built with a maximum of 1,185 multi-dwelling homes with a maximum building height of 45 feet.
