Consistency with Zoning and Comprehensive Plan:
The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD), and is governed by the Broomfield Retirement Residence PUD Plan. The PUD Plan identifies assisted living facilities as the approved use for this lot. The applicant’s proposed development of a senior living cooperative community; which is a residential use, is not consistent with the PUD Plan and requires an amendment.
In addition, the applicant is proposed a facility which will exceed the approved building height for this lot, and a height amendment to the PUD Plan is also proposed.
The project area is designated as Residential on the 2016 Broomfield Comprehensive Plan’s Land Use Map. The proposed cooperative community is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Public Land Dedication:
This lot was anticipated to be developed as an assisted living facility and this type of use does not require a public land dedication. The proposed amendment of this lot, with independent senior living units, will require satisfaction of Broomfield’s public land dedication (PLD) obligation.
Broomfield’s PLD policy requires the dedication of 24 acres of public land for every 1000 people generated by a residential development. Broomfield calculates a population generation of 1.75 people per senior residential unit. The applicant is proposing 58 senior residential units, which is anticipated to generate a total of 102 residents.
The PLD obligation for this proposed development based on the proposed 58 units is 2.45 acres. The PLD will be satisfied either through on site dedications and payment of cash-in-lieu at a rate of $56,000 per acre, or an entire cash-in-lieu contribution.
Inclusionary Housing Obligation:
The applicant is continuing to work with the Housing Advisory Committee to formalize their proposal to meet the inclusionary housing obligation established in Section 17-76 of the Broomfield Municipal Code. The applicant's proposed will be finalized prior to this project moving forward to City Council.
Consistency with Long Range Financial Plan:
The proposed development is not consistent with the land use assumptions for this site that had been incorporated into the LRFP. The LRFP assumptions were based on this property developing for non-residential uses (assisted living facility). The applicant is proposing to add residential units to this project area, and as such will impact the LRFP. Specific impacts on the LRFP are not currently known, but there is the potential for a negative impact to the plan. This impact will be identified as a key issue in the project's memorandum for public hearings.
Anticipated Variances/Amendments
- Amendment to PUD Plan to modify the allowed uses for this parcel to add residential in the form of independent senior living units and increase allowed building height.
