Land Use, Liquor Licensing and Open Space Items Fill Recent Broomfield Agendas

The Land Use Review Commission held public hearings on two health care-related development projects, the most consequential items on recent city agendas, while the Local Licensing Authority continued a restaurant’s application and the Open Space and Trails Advisory Committee weighed a bronze sculpture donation. Minutes from all three meetings have not yet been published, so final outcomes are unknown.

Land Use Review Commission

At its June 22 meeting, the commission heard a site development plan for medical office buildings at 901 W. 168th Place in Palisade Park. It also reviewed Planned Unit Development Text Amendment No. 3 for a UCHealth facility at the northwest corner of the I-25 and Colorado Highway 7 interchange. Public hearings were held on both items.

Local Licensing Authority

The authority met June 25 and continued its consideration of a licensing matter for La Casa del Burrito. The board also approved minutes from its June 17 meeting. No further details on the restaurant’s application were available.

Open Space and Trails Advisory Committee

The committee’s June 25 agenda featured a vote on whether to accept the donation of a bronze sculpture, “Promise of the Prairie” by George W. Lundeen, for placement at Metzger Farm Open Space. Members also were asked to comment on updated signage for the Great Western Overlook Trail and the proposed closure of an informal social trail leading to the Rocky Mountain Greenway bridge. In addition, the group planned to nominate and elect a chair, vice chair and up to four members of its Development Review Subcommittee. Approval of April 23 meeting minutes and a bus tour of northern open space areas — including the Miller Property, Water Runs Back Open Space, sites along County Road 11 and Wildgrass Pond — rounded out the session.

Coming up

The Local Licensing Authority will meet again July 8. The agenda includes a business item for an application from Three Rackets, described as a possible liquor license or similar matter. No additional information was provided.
