Town staff said the town owns a 91-acre parcel north of the existing Salisbury Regional Park and proposed a phased development that will add about 44.84 acres in phase 1. The phase 1 site plan calls for four lighted natural-grass baseball/softball fields (a Fourplex), two lighted synthetic multiuse fields, a 17-court lighted pickleball complex plus additional striped pickleball courts on two tennis courts, two basketball courts, a pedestrian promenade, restrooms, food truck parking, a community hub pavilion, inclusive playground, bike park, parking, landscaping, and trail connections to the Cherry Creek Trail.

Staff said the Salisbury Park master plan dates to 2014 and the Parker 2035 master plan identifies the parcel within the town's future growth map; because it is a town-owned public facility, the site plan was scheduled for public hearing under Parker Municipal Code section 13.03.04(p). Planning commission reviewed the application on June 26, 2025 and recommended unanimous approval.

Brett, a town presenter, described the full buildout concept for the 91-acre property and said once the four new natural-grass fields are built they will create the only eight-field complex in the South Metro area when combined with existing fields. He noted the project will be phased over roughly five years (2025'2029) depending on bids and revenue. Staff estimated synthetic turf fields can be playable immediately after construction; natural-grass fields will require a grow-in period and may not be available until the following growing season.

Council members asked about the number of pickleball courts (staff confirmed 17 distinct courts, plus additional striping on two tennis courts resulting in 21 total courts when counted), ADA accessibility, low-flow fixtures and automatic sinks in restrooms, water and sewer connections (an IGA and easements with Parker Water and Sanitation District were part of the agenda), and funding mechanics. Staff said funding is expected to come from town sales tax revenue and existing fund balance; the town has explored county-level funds but county support had not been committed. Staff said the town received its normal sales-tax share-back and has saved funds in the relevant fund balance to finance the project in phases.

Council member Barrington moved to approve two easement ordinances (Ordinances 1.648 and 1.649) and the phase 1 site plan based on staff findings and conditions in the staff report; the motions passed 5-0. No public comments were offered at the hearing.

Next steps: staff will coordinate construction phasing, complete required easement conveyances to Parker Water and Sanitation District, and proceed with bidding and permitting. Council members said they would continue discussions with the county about additional funding but noted the project is already budgeted in the town's long-range plan.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","July 7, 2025 - Town Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Town Council approved the phase 1 site plan and related easements for Salisbury Regional Park North, a phased expansion of roughly 44.84 acres of parkland that the town plans to build over about five years, funded primarily from sales tax revenue and town fund balance.","taxTitle","Parker, Douglas County, Colorado","taxId",4195,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6176750,"Parker council annexes Parker Professional Park enclave, approves mixed-use zoning",670,500000,1170000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5343354-8f1f2934c551ccfa516e30d1605ba6d8&start=500&end=1170","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5343354-8f1f2934c551ccfa516e30d1605ba6d8/thumbnail_500000.jpg","/articles/6176750/Parker/Douglas-County/Colorado/Parker-council-annexes-Parker-Professional-Park-enclave-approves-mixed-use-zoning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6176750-16b4f671a3baa74f1a853c01ce38aca9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191984&Signature=aU1dXVe4JNpmm8jUpKiOJenke7FAF5GGXe~Xl7-np1ca86fXF4Ozn1mAxJzWzNpf0RPnQWJzsvCsjCAxn48JmLPjQ5BnhLMSmkQCkcBW-NGVTdPwuBKbvw22lzcn0jEy4UEYEaDBSBqNNaOY~-j~~p-hvcypXAYbvetxRV4vmAES7rxxAzddAo4NNRcY6qDv6wyFlBZ~TtKXPY50vT3dc4jD8JkVHwpkvwLDnztQd-h2SGL-TRMcrKDUsdRIcZO5b9Z5K0h2OeNz-lIeF43ua~zxJFX2nPsmwNDUNykc5hOcWVEoQlPOB2xMsqfHX9Fd0fDduFFdEw0YHcRA9e2v6w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parker Town Council voted unanimously to annex the Parker Professional Park property and approve mixed-use community (MC) zoning for the site during a public hearing, Mayor Pro Tem presiding at the June public meeting.

Town staff told the council the subject property is an enclave of about 2.34 acres on the west side of Parker Road, south of Lincoln Avenue, currently in unincorporated Douglas County and consisting of four parcels with five commercial buildings. Staff said the property has been surrounded by the town for more than three years and is eligible for annexation under the Municipal Annexation Act of 1965. Planning staff recommended approval after concluding the proposal met the nine rezoning criteria and utility providers confirmed capacity.

The annexation and zoning matter matters because it brings property currently served by Douglas County into the town's service area and aligns the parcel's zoning with adjacent properties along Parker Road, staff said. Council members said closing such 'donut holes' in municipal boundaries is a long-standing goal.

Stacy, identified by staff as a community development presenter, described outreach the town made: a voluntary outreach effort about three years ago that included in-person meetings with owners and tenants, a town website with project links, and mailed notices in February and again in May alerting property owners and tenants to the pending annexation and hearing. Stacy said notices included information about changing address formats (from State Highway 83/Douglas County grid to Parker Road/Denver metro addressing). Planning commission review on June 12, 2025 resulted in a unanimous recommendation for approval.

Council members asked staff whether existing businesses and uses would be affected. Stacy said currently operating uses would remain legal as nonconforming uses under town code so long as operations do not cease for six months or longer; changes to buildings, new signage, or new uses would need to comply with town standards. A food truck on the property would need to comply with Parker's mobile business requirements, she said.

Following deliberation, Council member Hendricks moved to approve the finding resolution and the two ordinances on second reading; the motions passed unanimously.

What happened next: Resolution 25-040 (findings), Ordinance 2.286 (annexation on second reading) and Ordinance 3.374 (zoning to MC on second reading) were approved 5-0. No public comment was received at the hearing.

Council members who spoke in support said the annexation met the town's criteria, was consistent with the Parker 2035 master plan, and would 'true up' the town boundary.

The council's action finishes the council-level approvals described in the staff presentation; staff and applicants will complete any final administrative steps required to record the annexation and implement the zoning change.","The Parker Town Council voted unanimously to annex a 2.34-acre enclave known as Parker Professional Park and zone it MC (Mixed Use Community), a move council and staff said aligns the property with the town's plan and consolidates service boundaries with Douglas County.","actionData","errors"]
