Body
Summary and Background Information:
The site is approximately 4.26 acres and currently located partially in unincorporated Adams County (0.86 acres) and partially within Commerce City (3.4 acres). The site is on the South side of E. 86th Avenue and the West side of Roslyn Street. There is no current development proposed on the site and the property is vacant. Although the portion of the site that is incorporated into Commerce City is zoned AG (Agricultural), the site has not been used for agricultural purposes. The applicant is proposing to annex (AN-234-15) the unincorporated portion of the site into the City of Commerce City along with requesting the I-2 zone district for the entire property. Additionally, the applicant has submitted a subdivision plat to consolidate the subject property into a single lot and block that is currently being reviewed by city staff (S-632-15). The requested zone district of I-2 for the subject property aligns with the Comprehensive Plan designation of General Industrial. All future development of the property will be subject to the industrial design standards within the Land Development Code.
