Body
Summary and Background Information:
Colozona Inc., is requesting the approval of an annexation zoning of roughly 2.8 acres of property, which is currently vacant. The subject properties are generally located north of E. 88th Avenue, west of I-76 Frontage Road, and east of Monaco Street. The property is currently zoned Adams County Commercial-4 and is vacant. The applicant requests that the property be rezoned to Commerce City C-3 (Regional Commercial). The applicant is proposing a 4-story hotel at this location along with a multi-tenant retail building.
The hotel would be approximately 100 rooms, be branded as an America’s Best Value Inn (owned by Red Lion chain) and consist of approximately 49,000 square feet and the retail building would be approximately 3,500 square feet in size (no specific tenants have been identified to staff at this time). These specific developments are being reviewed administratively through case D-349-17. In addition, the applicant has also submitted a consolidation plat which is being reviewed administratively via case S-684-17. This zoning application is being processed concurrently with the annexation cases (AN-247-17 and AN-248-17).
