FINAL PLAN, S #416, FOR A 40 -LOT SUBDIVISION FOR I -I AND C-3 USES - HORIZON
INVESTMENTS, LLC / VISTA COMMERCIAL CENTER, FILING II
A public hearing was conducted on April 23, 1997, at 10:00 a.m., with the following present:
Commissioner George E. Baxter, Chair
Commissioner Constance L. Harbert, Pro-Tem - EXCUSED
Commissioner Dale K. Hall
Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer
Commissioner W. H. Webster
Also present:
Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller
Assistant County Attorney, Lee Morrison
Planning Department representative, Chris Goranson
The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated March 12, 1997, and duly published March 20, 1997,
in the South Weld Sun, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Horizon
Investments, LLC / Vista Commercial Center, Filing II, for a Site Specific Development Plan and
PUD (Planned Unit Development) Final Plan, S #416, for a 40 -lot subdivision for I-1 and C-3 uses.
Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Chris Goranson,
Department of Planning Services representative, presented a brief summary of the proposal and
entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written. He
reminded the Board that Filing I was approved in late 1996 for a 38 -lot subdivision and discussed
the compromises negotiated between staff and the applicant regarding open -space requirements.
He explained said compromises were made due to the fact that Ordinance No. 191, the Mixed Use
Development Plan, was not effective when Filing I was approved; thus, more consistency was
provided between the two filings. Mr. Goranson explained each specific lot will have more open
space and the landscaping plan for Filing II was changed from 85 -percent to 80 -percent maximum
lot coverage. He reiterated the Planning Commission recommended approval and staff feels the
compromises meet the Board's intent and direction to staff. Responding to questions from
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Goranson confirmed Filing I requires 11 -percent open space and
Filing II requires 15 -percent open space. He stated the MUD Ordinance requires 20 -percent open
space. Kris Pickett, Pickett Engineering, represented the applicant and reiterated Filing I was
approved prior to the MUD Ordinance; therefore, no open -space requirements for
Commercial/Industrial Zones existed. He stated, however, open space was developed at staff's
request and staff reviewed Filing II to maintain consistency with Filing I. Mr. Pickett requested

85 -percent rather than 80 -percent maximum coverage be allowed, even though some users will
be less. Chair Baxter confirmed the Planning Commission approved the Plan with 80 -percent
maximum coverage. Mr. Pickett noted discussions with staff regarding the benefit and/or use of
open space in Commercial/Industrial Zones. No public testimony was offered concerning this
matter. Commissioner Kirkmeyer noted consistency between the two developments, or filings, is
important; however, consistency throughout the MUD Area is also necessary. Mr. Goranson stated
open space is the one lacking factor; however, each developer is required to complete a Site Plan
Review and all are subject to the same standards. He stated, therefore, only the skeleton structure
will have less open space. Commissioner Kirkmeyer reiterated a better compromise would be to
require more open space in Filing I for consistency; however, Mr. Goranson explained it is not
possible at this time to require more than 11 -percent open space in Filing I. He reiterated Filing I
was approved when no open -space requirements existed and he understood the Board was willing
to compromise the MUD standard for Filing II. Commissioner Hall stated he feels this development
was caught in the middle of changing standards; however, he does not have a problem with the
compromise. Commissioner Hall then moved to approve the request of Horizon Investments, LLC
/ Vista Commercial Center, Filing II, for a Site Specific Development Plan and PUD (Planned Unit
Development) Final Plan, S #416, for a 40 -lot subdivision for I-1 and C-3 uses, based on the
recommendations of the Planning staff and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of
Approval as entered into the record. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Webster, and
it carried unanimously.
This Certification was approved on the 28th day of April, 1997.
