ORDINANCE NO. 1811, SERIES 2021 —AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONOCOPHILLIPS CAMPUS GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (REDTAIL RIDGE MASTER PLAN) — 2ND READING, PUBLIC HEARING (advertised Daily Camera 7/18/21) continued from 7127121, 813121, & 8117121 Mayor Stolzmann reopened the public hearing and asked for disclosures. Councilmember Dickinson stated he wanted to be clear he had not made up his mind on the application. He looks forward to more testimony and will take all the information into consideration in his decision. Mayor Stolzmann reminded everyone where the application is in the process. She noted there will be one additional chance for public comments and applicant comments tonight. Director Zuccaro reviewed the new information from the packet. It includes a proposal from the applicant with revisions to the open space dedication, a reduction in the maximum allowed building area, and a revision to the sustainability commitments. City Attorney Kelly reminded everyone that the purpose of the meeting is for the Council to continue to listen to evidence and to consider the application and evidence with the applicable legal criteria from the municipal code. She noted that there is an additional set of criteria in the state statute that says the City Council can require additional public land dedications if additional factors are met (C.R.S. 29-20-201). It states that Council shall not require additional land dedication unless one of two criteria are met: 1) there is an essential nexus between the dedication and a legitimate City interest and 2) the dedication is roughly proportional both in nature and extent to the impact of the proposed use of the property. She reminded Council to apply the evidence and also to determine if the criteria have been met or not. Geoff Baukol, applicant presentation, stated that in the earlier hearings there were requests for additional open space, more sustainability, and changes in density to protect the pond. In response to what they heard, the now present an updated application that increases the open space dedication by 20 acres, including areas that have not been previously developed; they added electric HVAC and hot water for all buildings and increased the solar installation minimum; they have reduced the building density around the pond in Parcel C; and they removed gas stations as a permitted use in any parcel. Councilmember Leh asked for confirmation that the solar would be on the buildings not on the open spaces. Jordan Swisher stated the solar is not specifically depicted in the GDP other than it is an allowable use. The most cost-efficient way to do the solar is on the roofs but it may not be limited to that. That will be determined in the PUD process.
