LL City+�?f . ECONOMIC VITALITY COMMITTEE <br />Lou�sville <br />COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br />SUBJECT: DISCUSSION — CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW <br />DATE: JULY 31, 2023 <br />PRESENTED BY: ROB ZUCCARO, AICP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />DIRECTOR <br />SUMMARY: <br />Attached for discussion is a draft ordinance to create a Concept Plan Review process <br />as an optional pre-curser to submitting certain zoning or comprehensive plan <br />amendment applications. This would allow a property owner or applicant to get non- <br />binding feedback from City Council on more complex proposals prior to developing a full <br />application. This can help an applicant identify early in the review process if there are <br />any particular areas of interest or areas of concern from Council. The 2023 City Council <br />work plan includes consideration of a Concept Plan Review ordinance. <br />The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing to review the draft <br />ordinance on August 10th. City Council review is tentatively scheduled for first reading <br />on September 19th followed by second reading and public hearing on October 2nd <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Other local communities utilize optional or mandatory concept plan review processes as <br />part of their development review process for certain application types. The ordinances <br />from Arvada, Boulder, Broomfield, and Ft. Collins are attached for reference. Each of <br />the example ordinances define the process and scope of the review and all have public <br />notice requirements for the review. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1.
