B. Review of Land Use Case - WZ-0512 and MS0505/Trailer Source
This case was presented by Alan White. The Urban Renewal Authority is
required to review land use applications within an Urban Renewal Area to
determine compliance with the Urban Renewal Plan. This land use case
involves an Amended Outline Development Plan and Final Development
Plan and Final Plat for the Trailer Source business located on the west side
of Tabor just south ofI-70. Modifications to their plans are required
because CDOT is acquiring a large portion of the current site for relocated
on-off ramps to 1-70.
Following review and discussion, it was moved by Pete Ziemke and
seconded by Dennis Boyat that the Authority finds that Land Use
Case WZ-05-12 and MS-05-05 fits the goals and objectives for the
Urban Renewal Area based on fmdings that this use was zoned and
established prior to the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan;
amendments to the development plans would not be needed without
the actions of CDOT in acquiring right-of-way for the relocation ofl-
70 ramps; and the existing use was not subject to the architectural
guidelines and streetscape requirements since it was established prior
to the Redevelopment Plan being adopted; and the proposed
development makes a reasonable effort to implement several of the
guidelines. The motion passed unanimously.
6. OLD BUSINESS
. Meetings will be held the first Tuesday of each month for now. A schedule of
meetings for the remainder of the year will be discussed at the March meeting.
