Council rezones Colorado Center parcel and approves special‑use permit for precast concrete manufacturer
Summary
Trustees approved rezoning of Lot A4 from a PUD to I (industrial) and granted a conditional special‑use permit allowing Peaks Precast to operate a precast‑concrete fabrication facility at the Colorado Center business park, subject to site cleanup, screening and completion of outstanding civil improvements.
Trustees approved Ordinance 6 on May 27 to rezone a 3.5‑acre parcel (Lot A4) in the Colorado Center PUD to an industrial (I) zone and to adopt a special‑use permit allowing the new owner, Peaks Precast, to operate a precast concrete fabrication business on the site.
Applicant and use: Randall, the purchaser and founder of Peaks Precast, told trustees he intends to cast and cure modular precast foundation and structural elements inside the existing 7,800‑square‑foot building and use ready‑mix deliveries from a local supplier rather than install a batching plant on site. He said initial staffing will range from about four to six employees with a plan to grow to roughly 10 employees over 12–16 months.
Conditions and concerns: Planning staff and the planning commission recommended approval subject to conditions: (1) the special use is contingent on the rezoning (if rezoning fails the SUP would be void), (2) any outdoor materials must be stored behind screened enclosures and out of public view, and (3) the applicant must complete outstanding site improvements required by previously approved civil construction plans and obtain a certificate of occupancy.
Trustee questions and details: Trustees asked about truck trips, water use, and whether the use would increase heavy truck traffic; the applicant said deliveries will be modest (one to two ready‑mix trucks per day) and that most casting operations will occur indoors. Town staff noted the applicant must clear outstanding code enforcement issues and coordinate with utility and broadband easement holders.
Ending: Trustees voted to approve Ordinance 6 and the special use with the listed conditions. The owner said he expects to finish interior work and to secure a CO within weeks.
