MUD.Goal 1 states: "To plan and to manage growth within the 1-25 Mixed Use development area and Urban Development Nodes so as to balance relevant fiscal, environmental, aesthetic, and economic components of the area." The applicant has designed this development to consist of both commercial (C-3) and industrial (I-1) uses which is compatible with the surrounding land uses and proposed land uses. The development will be encouraged to utilize innovative siting and design features to preserve the portions of the property located within the floodplain and to use the reclaimed gravel pits as an enhancement to the development. All landscaping shall adhere to the landscaping requirements in proposed Ordinance 191. 28.zi.3 B. That the uses which would be allowed in the proposed Planned Unit Development will conform with the Performance Standards of the Planned Unit Development District contained in Section 35.5 of this Ordinance. 28.7.1.4 C.

The development will be serviced by the St. Vrain Sanitation District for sewage disposal. The Left Hand Water District will provide water service. 28.7.1.6 E. That street or highway facilities providing access to the property are adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zone district.

The applicant has indicated a willingness to meet all standards as set forth in proposed Ordinance 191 concerning the design of the roadways within the PUD District.

The proposed development lies with the flood hazard overlay district. Conditions of approval address this issue. This development also lies within the Mixed Use Development area. The applicant is aware of the update plan, Ordinance 191, to this area. The applicant may be subject to additional requirements of the plan with its adoption by the Board of County Commissioners. 2. The proposed development does not contain a commercial mineral deposit in a manner which would interfere with the present or future extraction of such deposit by an extractor to any greater extent than under the present zoning of the property. 3. Soil conditions on the site are not such that they present severe limitations to the construction of structures or facilities proposed for the site. The Colorado Geological Survey reviewed this proposal and made comments concerning the construction within the proposed PUD Zone District and the comments are addressed in the conditions of approval.
