The Summit County Eastern Planning Commission convened on April 20, 2023, to discuss a proposed development on a 94-acre property located near the west end of Browns Canyon Road. The meeting focused on a pre-application proposal from a developer seeking to increase the density of the site, which is currently zoned for low-density residential use.

The property is situated between Browns Canyon Road and the Southpointe section of Promontory. The developer aims to construct a total of 250 residential units, which would include approximately 100 market-rate single-family homes and the remainder designated as affordable housing. Additionally, the proposal includes plans for a senior center offering assisted living services and an internal recreation facility.

To proceed with this development, the applicant must rezone the property. Currently, the site is zoned for a base density of one unit per 80 acres, allowing only four units due to its division into four parcels with grandfathered rights. The developer's plan represents a significant increase in density, prompting discussions with various service providers to address potential impacts and requirements.

The meeting highlighted the importance of community input and the need for further discussions as the proposal moves forward. The planning commission will continue to evaluate the project and its implications for the surrounding area in future meetings.
