Why it matters: The approvals change allowable uses on a 3.3-acre industrial site and include variances from the Interchange Influence Area overlay for use, reduced parking setbacks and reduced landscape buffers. Staff and the applicant said the irregular lot shape and prior conveyance of land for a trail influenced the variance requests. The project will add a 27,200-square-foot building, vehicle inventory storage and a service area; the applicant estimates about 50 employees on site when operating.

What council approved: By unanimous vote (8–0), council adopted Proposed Resolution No. 2025-91 (PUD plan, final plat, combined site development plan and use by special review) and Proposed Resolution No. 2025-92-UR (urban renewal site plan). The Land Use Review Commission had unanimously recommended approval in April 2024.

Key details and conditions
- Proposed building: ~27,200 sq. ft., two-story glazed façade, 25-foot height (below 40-foot maximum).
- Parking: 62 customer/employee parking spaces and 86 inventory spaces; inventory stored northwest of the building.
- Operations: Applicant indicated typical business hours about 9 a.m.–8 p.m. Monday–Saturday; closed Sunday.
- Variances: Requested from the Interchange Influence Area overlay for the auto-sales use (the URA overlay later adopted considers the use permitted subject to special review), reduced parking perimeter setbacks (from 30 feet down to between 1 and 10 feet in some locations), and reduced landscape buffers tied to the setbacks. Staff noted the project still exceeds the private open area requirement of 25% through landscaped areas and walkways.

Public concerns and staff responses: Neighbors and residents raised construction concerns including site grading, mud tracking onto Industrial Lane and safe truck routing. The applicant said the site is close to balance for on-site grading and that an erosion and sediment control plan and a required first lift of pavement before vertical construction should limit dirt tracking. Staff said stormwater inspections and MS4 permitting are used to enforce housekeeping and that complaints would be handled by the stormwater division.

Trail and bikeway coordination: Council asked about coordination with a planned bikeway and Broomfield’s capital improvement program. Staff said the bikeway contract is out for bid and the city will coordinate schedules with the developer; staging or phasing may be used to avoid long trail closures.

Quote: “We've been teammates working towards a common goal,” said Casey Adrania of Adrania Architecture and Development, praising city staff for assistance during the review and permitting process.

Next steps: The applicant must complete civil construction documents and obtain construction permits. Staff noted grading plans, erosion control, truck routing and coordination with the trail project as items to be finalized during construction review.

Votes and motion: Council member Leslie moved approval of the land-use resolutions; the motions passed by roll-call vote as recorded 8–0.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Sessions","oneSentenceSummary","The City and County of Broomfield City Council on June 3 approved a planned-unit development and urban renewal site plan to allow a Genesis auto sales and service dealership at 4101 Industrial Lane, northeast of U.S. 36.","taxTitle","Broomfield County, Colorado","taxId",9320,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":44,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":50,"_51":81,"_53":82,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":83,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":84,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6530539,"Council approves broadband, land-use and flood-project amendments; multiple votes pass unanimously",2010,4162000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3648269-684d8db4888f12fbce10cda57b68fe7a&start=2152&end=4162","/articles/6530539/Broomfield-County/Colorado/Council-approves-broadband-land-use-and-flood-project-amendments-multiple-votes-pass-unanimously","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530539-b07421ec5cec4775e0eb033f390f0883/orig.mp4?Expires=1771094475&Signature=LbYZJKJSlbneixFeEBgnmkkp7qRTL-FECwhJHJR7XkJq2I9rfA674W8zuLh9QyMUx8WzpWeXLK9qALHFOnRvuGuYXsZMasYBuLmHv26MvlxfLAPtorSpfoJriTiTc3S~Ejnd~eEF~mjaV2hVnyeg2iRSq99gfuYL~MGszfKdZ5tyLJw~ft-v-PDhuhOt5JKtdqPQ07gvnsQCtPY4Ivckc4b3TXaN9PSN7wp5aoswKD~dsnRW6BWZXutA5lNYdGWRWC8o5N-m0mOiJFxo9LjR1BFr4o5oIDY5IU4izRWdHWIBND4fYtghCBuEbhB21HdJnK2BlMBoFgw-NIQs1--ErQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City and County of Broomfield City Council on June 3 approved a set of consent and action items including broadband agreements, a planned-unit development for an auto dealership, and two intergovernmental agreement (IGA) amendments with the Mile High Flood District.

The council approved three consent resolutions by unanimous recorded vote: a Board of Equalization hearing officer recommendation resolution (Proposed Resolution No. 2025-83), a Google Fiber Master License Agreement for fiber-to-home (Proposed Resolution No. 2025-86), and acknowledgement of Broomfield as a broadband-ready community (Proposed Resolution No. 2025-96).

Council members also unanimously approved two development-related resolutions for a proposed Genesis auto sales and service center at 4101 Industrial Lane: Proposed Resolution No. 2025-91 (PUD plan, final plat, site development plan, and use by special review) and Proposed Resolution No. 2025-92-UR (urban renewal site plan). Each passed on an 8–0 roll-call vote.

Separately, the council approved two amendments to IGAs with the Mile High Flood District affecting the Nissen Reservoir Channel and the City Park Channel/Main Street improvements (Proposed Resolutions No. 2025-76 and 2025-77). Both resolutions passed unanimously 8–0. The amendments add budget authority and reallocate funds across phases of multi-year channel and trail projects.

- Resolution 2025-77 (Amend IGA with Mile High Flood District — City Park Channel / Main Street improvements): Passed 8–0 (two-thirds required and achieved).

Why it matters: The broadband items advance Broomfield’s efforts to expand high-speed internet access. The land-use approvals establish the legal and design framework for a new auto sales and service dealership at a prominent industrial site. The flood-district IGA amendments reallocate and augment funding for multi-year drainage and trail projects that city staff described as necessary maintenance and capital improvements.

Council staff noted that some of the projects will require additional IGA amendments or budget actions in later years as construction phases proceed. The actions recorded here reflect formal decisions taken at the June 3 meeting; separate agenda items at the same meeting covered public hearings, project presentations and community comment.","Broomfield City Council approved consent items on broadband and three major land-use and intergovernmental agreements including a planned unit development for a Genesis auto dealership and two Mile High Flood District IGA amendments.

Council voted 6–3 to postpone indefinitely and request a study session with the Front Range Passenger Rail District.

Background: Council member Ward introduced the resolution to set conditions Broomfield seeks before supporting a ballot proposal, citing goals including greenhouse gas reduction, lower vehicle miles traveled and meaningful local service. The resolution’s text included five bullet points outlining desired service levels, station access and funding clarity.

Public comment: Gary Sprung of the Colorado Rail Passenger Association (ColorRail) urged council to vote no on the resolution, saying it could “cause irreparable harm” to ongoing negotiations for joint service and that the essential remaining issue is funding, not policy. Sprung said the state had devised a joint-service starter plan that uses new state fees and RTD funds and urged support for that approach.

Chrissy Bright, interim general manager of the Front Range Passenger Rail District, asked council to postpone consideration and offered to present the district’s vision and near-term starter-service proposal in a council work session.

Council debate and outcome: Council members split on whether to approve the resolution immediately or first hold a study session. Council member Cohen moved to postpone action indefinitely and schedule a study session; Council member Henkel seconded. The motion to postpone passed 6–3.

Recorded and noted votes: During roll call on the postponement motion, Council member Wynne said, \"I vote no,\" and Council member Nguyen also verbally registered \"no.\" Council member Ward spoke in opposition to postponement. The mayor announced the motion to postpone passed 6–3. No final vote was taken on the resolution itself; it will return to council after study-session engagement, as requested by councilors and the passenger rail district.

Why it matters: The Front Range Passenger Rail District is pursuing a multi-jurisdictional approach to passenger rail along Colorado’s Front Range. Council members said they support improved rail service in principle but differed about whether the proposed council position should be adopted before additional stakeholder briefings and negotiation outcomes are available.

Next steps: Council directed staff to schedule a study session with the Front Range Passenger Rail District and other transit stakeholders to discuss the district’s starter-service proposal and the longer-term funding and service tradeoffs. The postponed resolution remains on the council’s agenda until further direction.","A proposed Broomfield resolution stating conditions for supporting a potential Front Range Passenger Rail ballot measure was postponed after council debate; council voted 6–3 to delay further action and requested a study session with the passenger rail district.",{"_33":97,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":98,"_41":99,"_43":100,"_45":101,"_47":102,"_49":103,"_51":104,"_53":105,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":106,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":107,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6530529,"Council OKs IGA amendments with Mile High Flood District to advance multi‑year channel and trail work",765,4156000,4921000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3648269-684d8db4888f12fbce10cda57b68fe7a&start=4156&end=4921","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3648269-684d8db4888f12fbce10cda57b68fe7a/thumbnail_4156000.jpg","/articles/6530529/Broomfield-County/Colorado/Council-OKs-IGA-amendments-with-Mile-High-Flood-District-to-advance-multiyear-channel-and-trail-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530529-9af509c5bf48d02256d25e1a5c872494/orig.mp4?Expires=1771094475&Signature=EHBMQSwmF85xcRhf755bOn0VtHArBWbT6TKqlccR-HYEO82dqfb8Y4EnUes6M5UTXC3R5Uch95OnCIkFA2AM3WXPy0uuNPHPWkKimjdgicmoiWe1i3n8FfHVwlT6ECjz1Oc1iQkai-pUhniKikZQSEfhZiYglXPcgX0JlcaEqYaSJBHxWIywkbkIQPIHaiDt2c7G6rUd9kRZlEA64W3l24cGvr1bkGZ7wJTWMB8eenKJU-cVCsdGzajBfRxU6V12IdMU5slyCnUM8HEjvad3RQTZ8nKWhonUpoKAaSqCfOTRnHVEU9zlgtnyP7bKgAXfdpVMbCQmjv5afi-U4NcmEQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City and County of Broomfield City Council on June 3 approved two intergovernmental agreement amendments with the Mile High Flood District that add budget authority and adjust phased schedules for multi-year drainage and trail projects.

Staff presentation: Matthew Deaver, deputy director of community development (engineering), told the council that both projects are large, multi-year efforts whose timing and funding are intertwined. He said residents south of Colorado 7 pay a 0.9 mill rate to the Mile High Flood District; District funds support studies, maintenance and CIP projects, with CIP projects typically requiring a 50% local CIP match.

Nissen Reservoir Channel (phase sequencing and budget changes)
- Phase 1 current spending to date: $6,828,000; original budget: $7,110,000.
- Resolution 2025-76 would add $2,278,000 to the Phase 1 budget; staff said the intention is to transfer a remaining positive balance ($2,560,000) to Phase 2 as part of schedule adjustments.
- Phase 2 estimated cost: $4,650,000; existing budgeted amount would leave an estimated shortfall of $2,090,000 for Phase 2. Staff said additional IGA amendments will be requested in 2027 and 2028 and that Phase 2 construction is anticipated to start in 2028 (approx. 12-month duration).

City Park Channel and Main Street improvements (coordination with Broomfield Town Square)
- The project addresses structural issues in a channel that crosses Main Street and connects Community Park, Emerald Park and Midway Park areas.
- Initial-phase estimate (design and construction): $11,400,000; current budget: $5,900,000. Resolution 2025-77 would add $3,620,000, leaving an estimated outstanding need of $1,880,000. Staff expect an additional IGA amendment in 2026.
- The initial phase includes the Main Street pedestrian underpass; staff emphasized coordination with the Broomfield Town Square developer so that the underpass and adjacent channel work align with private development timelines. Design is conceptual; staff said the channel redesign aims to replace an existing steep boulder section with a more naturalized low-flow channel.

Council and public comment: Residents and public speakers urged the council to understand the full fiscal scope given municipal fiscal uncertainty and asked for clear documentation of dependencies if developer work does not proceed. Staff and the manager noted the projects are not cosmetic and cited ongoing flooding and structural concerns; staff said Mile High Flood District funds and developer contributions have already been allocated and that maintenance and CIP funding rules differ.

Quote: “We had to prioritize that initial phase to coordinate with Broomfield Town Square,” Matthew Deaver said, adding that staff expect to return with additional IGA amendments in coming years as phases are funded.

Votes and next steps: Council approved Proposed Resolution No. 2025-76 (Nissen Reservoir Channel amendment) and Proposed Resolution No. 2025-77 (City Park Channel / Main Street amendment) by the required two-thirds majority, each passing 8–0. Staff said both projects will continue design work, seek further amendments as needed, and schedule construction to align with the Town Square project and other CIP priorities.","Broomfield approved amendments to IGAs with the Mile High Flood District adding budget authority and re-sequencing phases for the Nissen Reservoir Channel and City Park Channel / Main Street projects.
