Arapahoe County approves Copperleaf Filing No. 31 final plat for 32-acre commercial subdivision
Summary
The Arapahoe County Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 14 approved the final plat for Copperleaf Filing No. 31 (Case PP24-001), clearing the way for commercial development on a 32.2-acre site including a grocery anchor and medical office uses, subject to three conditions.
The Arapahoe County Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 14 unanimously approved the final plat for Copperleaf Filing No. 31 (Case PP24-001), a proposal to subdivide a 32.2-acre site at the southeast corner of East Quincy Avenue and Copperleaf Boulevard for commercial development.
County planner Molly Orkel Larson told the board the applicant, Quincy West 30 LLC, proposes lots, tracts and roadway dedications sized from about 0.69 acres to 11.39 acres that staff found consistent with the county comprehensive plan and the county’s Land Development Code. The board voted to approve the plat subject to three conditions: recordation of ECCV easements before building permits, addressing Xcel Energy easement/comments, and resolution of any remaining minor staff comments before the final signature.
The applicant’s representative, Aaron McClam of Galloway and Company, said the development team agrees with staff findings and is working through infrastructure plans. "We agree with all staff's findings and reports and the conditions of approval and look forward to wrapping this one up," McClam said. He told the board the project has several prospective tenants, including a King Soopers grocery anchor and an AdventHealth medical building; when Commissioner Warren Gulley asked whether AdventHealth would operate as urgent care or medical offices, McClam replied, "Some urgent care opportunities there too, but it's a medical offices building too."
Molly Orkel Larson said access will be provided from East Quincy Avenue, Copperleaf Boulevard and Radcliffe Parkway and that public works and other referral agencies found no on-site hazards and confirmed utility and emergency service access. Staff advised the board that the preliminary plat had been approved in December and that no substantive public comment had been received during the final review. The applicant said infrastructure construction documents remain under review by public works and that the development team hopes to begin site work next month.
Commissioner Jeff Baker moved approval based on the staff report and with the three staff conditions; Commissioner Jessica Campbell seconded. There was no public comment at the hearing. The motion passed with all commissioners present voting yes.
Next steps: recordation of required easements and clearance of Xcel Energy and public works comments, then final signature of the plat and permitting to proceed.
