Project Overview

This is a concept review for a proposal to construct two new medical office buildings. The subject site is currently undeveloped, and is located north of CO Highway 7 and just west of County Road 7. Per the submitted application, the southern building is intended to house the applicant's medical practice, Clearview Dermatology. The new building proposed for the northern section of the subject site is planned to be Phase 2 of this project, and will likely be another medical facility in the future. Per the submitted application, the Clearview Dermatology clinic would have a mix of patient exam rooms, staff areas, and procedure rooms. Access to the site would be achieved through a single access drive off of the adjacent street to the west, Spring Place. Per the submitted project narrative, energy-efficiency and sustainability would help drive the building systems design including features such as daylighting, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, recycled and locally sourced products, and energy-conserving controls.

Project Details

Applicant: Clearview Dermatology
Location: Highlands Subdivision Filing No 1, Replat F, Lots 6 & 7
Project Type: Concept Review for Medical Office

City and County Staff Analysis

Zoning, Surrounding Uses and Comprehensive Plan: The subject parcel is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD), and is subject to the Highlands PUD Plan land use regulations. The subject site is designated as mixed-use commercial within the I-25 Sub-Area Plan, which is defined as a major center for employment, commercial, and some residential uses that encourages transit ridership. The proposed medical office use is consistent with applicable PUD, the I-25 Sub-Area Plan, and the development pattern in the area, as there are several similar medical office uses on this stretch of CO Highway 7.

The Broomfield Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the subject property is “Commercial”. The subject medical office proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for the property.

Site Circulation, Parking and Multimodal Access: Under this proposal, vehicles would access the site from the west off of Spring Place. The proposed single access drive would serve both north and south buildings on the site. The subject site would offer 48 standard parking spaces, in addition to 3 ADA parking spaces. Parking for patients would be on the west and staff parking is planned to be between the two buildings. Pedestrians access would be from the north, south, and west sides of the site via sidewalks that circle the entire property and connect back to the existing sidewalk to the east along County Road 7.

The applicant will be required to include the minimum required number of EV-Installed, EV Ready, and EV Capable parking spaces as a part of the project.

Architecture/Landscaping: The property will feature contemporary building design. This proposed design includes utilizing stone, metal panel, steel detailing, and storefront glazing as exterior building materials. The colors of the buildings are planned to be natural tones.

Per the submitted conceptual landscape plan, the landscape design would include evergreen, ornamental, and shade trees throughout the site. The proposed plan contemplates having landscaping that is cohesive with the building design that blends with the overall development design concept. The project narrative also states that they would follow xeriscape principals to reduce water consumption. All landscaping will also need to comply with Broomfield's adopted landscape code.

Key Issues

Staff is currently review in the development review proposal. Initial key issues include the following:

• Traffic Flow - Increased traffic for the surrounding parcels and roads is anticipated due to the development proposal if the project moves forward. Therefore, a traffic report will be required to be submitted to the City and County of Broomfield as part of the formal development application.
• Parking - The subject site is located within a parking reduction area. Broomfield Municipal Code (BMC) establishes a maximum of 35 parking spaces for a 10,000 square foot building. If the development moves forward, Broomfield Staff will review consistency with BMC parking requirements and will also confirm that the project will have minimal impact on the surrounding businesses and uses.

Process & Next Steps

If the project were to move forward, following this concept review a formal application for a Final Plat, Urban Renewal Area Site Plan, and Site Development Plan would need to be submitted. Final Plats and Site Development Plans are reviewed by the Land Use Review Commission at a public hearing, where the Commission votes to approve (with or without conditions) or deny the request. After the Land Use Review Commission makes their decision, the project can be called up for further consideration by City Council, which is consistent with the call-up provision in the Broomfield Municipal Code.

The Site Development Plan is limited to approximately 1.8 acres, and since the project area is less than 7 acres in size it is also subject to Land Use Review Commission approval or denial (similar to the Use by Special Review) and is subject to the City Council call-up provision in the Broomfield Municipal Code.

Public Engagement

You can engage with this project using the Questions and Comments tabs below or by emailing planning@broomfield.org. Since this is an online concept review, there will be no publicly noticed meeting. All engagement will take place virtually. Questions and comments are able to be submitted online until the comment period ends on Friday, April 25, 2025.

Concept reviews are the first step in the land development process. Concept reviews allow developers an opportunity to introduce their development proposal and receive initial feedback from City Council, Broomfield Boards and Commissions (including the Land Use Review Commission), and residents. This step in the process does not approve or deny the proposal but instead helps the developer to consider feedback while they refine their development proposal prior to the formal development application. This step is the best time to share concerns or comments as it allows the developer the most time to consider changes in response to the feedback they receive.

The project timeline on this page provides an overview of the next steps in the development process should the developer choose to move forward with their proposal.
