Planning Manager John McConnell presented the staff recommendation and said notices were mailed to 357 property owners and two homeowners associations within 1,000 feet of the subject property. Staff found the PDP amendment generally met the review criteria in Section 11-5-14 of the Westminster Municipal Code and recommended approval; the Planning Commission had voted unanimously to recommend approval.

Craig Karn, director of design with THK Associates, and Fred Cook, representing the ownership group, described the amendment as largely a clarification of permitted employment and medical-support uses near Saint Anthony's Hospital and said there is no immediate construction tied to this PDP amendment. Karn said the changes are \"very simple\" and intended to match current market demand for medical office, research and related uses.

Councilor Ireland asked whether water use for potential hotel uses had been considered; staff said water consumption would be analyzed in detail when a specific hotel application came forward. Councilors also asked about electrical service; the applicant and staff indicated United Power is the utility in the area and that the city would coordinate with utilities during future development review.

Councilor Rosati moved approval; Councilor Hart seconded. The motion passed on a 5-0 roll-call vote. Staff said subsequent final development plans and ODPs will be required for any future construction.","City council approved the 13th preliminary development plan amendment for the North Huron PUD to align permitted uses with Westminster's 2040 comprehensive plan; staff and the applicant said no immediate construction is tied to the approval.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":46,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6619505,"Council approves first-reading aid package for 70-unit affordable housing and Head Start classroom at Uplands",129,5867000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2835148-37b4f4dc1e79daaccc6a03cb10b2e4cb&start=5867&end=5996","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2835148-37b4f4dc1e79daaccc6a03cb10b2e4cb/thumbnail_5867000.jpg","/articles/6619505/Westminster/Jefferson-County/Colorado/Council-approves-first-reading-aid-package-for-70-unit-affordable-housing-and-Head-Start-classroom-at-Uplands","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6619505-ff2e073b08ee7cc10de409cf5cd8bc8a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190393&Signature=Kr67wWaTyy5Y0cag3ZublKfg0M4T~s9CQP2-sZhQ9qgY9HCNpSXUdjhrNKim1ICwCYUPepme5n82neSmk8V5dLnHpn1wS2erPNGiYszTO4p8VpsJalybyyqu2Kf3607yLKYJ~Vc6lMGKbFB-GlSU6PFofPMHwKbfdzuwaekmGn7bxVQPrgYOYeXQVD-vu3oJsRyNH7FBGrh~eE7rf-QPxgTqC~Nn5nm0YkZwmmtumh0szOKD~VIKIhD~t~y4~I9AZZhhGC4mUVeZl7lNRRK-dPa~1JNn4UbeA0nsssoPxqtW9~XcjcGpTmppur~13sRmohtaC~hWXXnWIMvYPrr9sQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Westminster City Council on March 31 passed, on first reading, a development assistance package with Maker Housing Partners to support a proposed 70-unit affordable multifamily development that would include a Head Start classroom at the Uplands site.

The council approved the agreement on a 4-1 vote (Councilor Ireland voted no). The motion authorizes the city manager to execute a development assistance agreement providing up to $555,751 in city fee and tax rebates (with specific exclusions) plus the allocation of $1,071,489 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds, for a total assistance package not to exceed $1,627,240.

The motion specifies that the city will rebate 100% of permit fees, park development fees and sales and use taxes on construction materials but explicitly excludes the 0.25% open space tax portion and the 0.6% public safety tax on construction materials from any rebate. The stated purpose is to support a 70-unit affordable multifamily development and a Head Start classroom within the Uplands project area.

Councilor Hutt moved the ordinance (councilor's bill number 9) and Councilor Rosati seconded. Councilor Carmela said the item represented \"precisely the type of affordable housing that our city needs more of,\" and thanked Maker Housing and staff for the partnership. Councilor Ireland said she would vote no, stating a policy preference for promoting homeownership and concern about taxpayer subsidies for rental housing.

The motion passed on a roll-call vote: Councilor Ireland: No; Councilor Carmela: Yes; Councilor Rosati: Yes; Councilor Hutt: Yes; Mayor Nancy McNally: Yes. Staff did not record further amendments to the agreement during the March 31 action; the ordinance passed first reading and will return for subsequent readings as required by city code.

The development assistance agreement, as described on the council floor, links the rebate and HOME allocations to the Maker Housing Partners project at Uplands; staff and the developer indicated additional project-level reviews and permits will follow through development review and building permit processes.","On first reading Westminster authorized a development assistance agreement with Maker Housing Partners for a 70-unit affordable multifamily development and a Head Start classroom in the Uplands; the package uses fee rebates and HOME funds and passed 4-1.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6619510,"Westminster council backs residents—request for Jefferson County review of Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport operations",740,2478000,3218000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2835148-37b4f4dc1e79daaccc6a03cb10b2e4cb&start=2478&end=3218","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2835148-37b4f4dc1e79daaccc6a03cb10b2e4cb/thumbnail_2478000.jpg","/articles/6619510/Westminster/Jefferson-County/Colorado/Westminster-council-backs-residentsrequest-for-Jefferson-County-review-of-Rocky-Mountain-Metropolitan-Airport-operations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6619510-cb0a46b5e7b95078443d8b2227f3f2b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190393&Signature=ioQ1QdhYWsb8JPO09bIGOmdqBAo7ny3-kT7v6WifiAu52TA6ysBu~CKgJILHu9POH-eD1Do5AKE5ZBIiIuKPX51Wah92Fz2RTrHB5RjCjFtygwDAeZ9XfGqmeTRLZLecYfp8e9feIFfN5zbgxUORuK8KK1sYfDj4nOhmrs73fXcUsVkBTNBbWM4O~NHdT3tD76MWhKdnCgeelansVgSg~L01uNDqw1P353wcCNlQtMt9m2iGwryT3fK2m8ZK7xq-4oCi6JWYYX4i7IYoU9J0M9pqVV8Sv81Ve-b4vAJiZB6nQfCrSuTE77HrcstsxoziGW01n6IKu5lcCElIt4j2mA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Westminster City Council on March 31 authorized the mayor to sign a letter voicing the city\u0000council's support for the Save Our Skies Alliance\u0000request that Jefferson County Commissioners consider measures to reduce noise and airborne pollution from Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (RMMA).

The council voted 5-0 to authorize Mayor Nancy McNally to sign the February 4, 2025 letter from Save Our Skies asking the county to examine four community-submitted solutions. The action followed public comment from residents who said Westminster neighborhoods are exposed to frequent aircraft noise and airborne micro-particulate lead.

Residents told the council they have spent years researching and proposing changes they say comply with FAA rules and state subsidy programs, and that comparable measures have been implemented at other locally owned airports. \"I want to extend a thank you to city staff for their work in drafting this letter,\" said Charlene Willey during public comment.

Carolyn Farbman, another public commenter, thanked council and staff for moving forward and said the letter is \"clear, direct, and aligned with the concerns of Westminster residents.\" Several councilors and staff said they supported referring the community's concerns to Jefferson County to encourage further evaluation and conversation.

The motion to authorize the mayor to sign the letter was made by Councilor Carmela and seconded by Councilor Hunt. Council discussion emphasized support for residents and the intent to continue cooperative engagement with county officials to seek mitigation options.

Next steps described by councilors: the city will transmit the signed letter and continue local engagement with Save Our Skies organizers and county staff. No county action was recorded in the meeting; the city\u0000s role is limited to forwarding the request and urging consideration.

Community comment and the council vote took place during the public comment and new business portions of the March 31 Westminster City Council meeting.","After multiple public comments about noise and lead particulates from Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, Westminster City Council authorized the mayor to sign a letter supporting the Save Our Skies Alliance\u0000request that Jefferson County Commissioners consider mitigation options.","actionData","errors"]
