Commissioner VanHeusen asked what precipitated the request to leave Brighton,

unincorporated Adams County and annex to Commerce City. Quint Redmond, Pierpont

Reality Group, shared that Caliber Engineering conducted a utility study and

determined it would be more cost effective to annex from Brighton to get the utilities

that are in 120th and Chambers.

Commissioner Eggleston asked for clarification on the Annexation Property Concept

Study Map. Quint Redmond, Pierpont Reality Group, stated the map was a mock plan

to determine the potential square footage. It will take additional procedures and

processes to get an approved map. The plan is to have some services and potentially

professional offices.

Commissioner Eggleston asked about the mention of residential on the agricultural

portion. Quint Redmond, Pierpont Reality Group, stated the intention would be to

preserve it as agricultural to match the framework plan.

Commissioner Shecter asked what changes are considered a “negative effect?”

Genevieve Gill, Assistant City Attorney, responded that the question being posed to

the Commissioners to make the determination on the way the commission is

interpreting the approval criteria. Commissioner Shecter asked if this was within the

urban growth boundary. Nathan Chavez, City Planner, confirmed it was not but

proposed to incorporate it. He also addressed Commissioner Shecter’s concerns about

criterium feedback from residents and stated the most significant concerns were the

potential of 45-foot-tall buildings behind homes.

Nathan Chavez, City Planner, clarified to the Commissioners that today's hearing

regards a Land Use Plan Amendment, with the Annexation and Zoning occurring at a

later date. Decisions will ultimately be up to the applicant.

A motion made by Commissioner Eggleston, "I move that the Planning

Commission enter a finding that the requested Land Use Plan Amendment for

the property located at the northwest corner of East 120th Avenue and

Chambers Road contained in case LUP25-0001 meets the criteria of the Land

Development Code and based upon such finding, recommend that the City

Council approve the Land Use Plan Amendment," seconded by Commissioner
