Adams County approves Todd Creek 'Seltzer Farms' rezoning, PDP amendment and preliminary plat with conditions

The Adams County Board of County Commissioners approved a suite of land‑use actions on Feb. 4 to allow a large new neighborhood within the Todd Creek Village PUD, commonly referred to in the hearing as the Seltzer Farms proposal. The package — two rezonings into the Todd Creek planned unit development, a major amendment to the preliminary development plan and a preliminary subdivision plat — passed 5‑0 with 21 findings of fact, seven conditions and eight administrative notes.

What the project proposes: The applicant described three sub‑neighborhoods totaling roughly 555 acres and an overall proposal of about 2,008 dwelling units (a mix of detached single‑family, attached/townhouse units, multifamily and senior living), approximately 240 acres of parks and open space (43% of the project) and more than 8 miles of on‑site trails plus proposed off‑site trail connections. The applicant said densities average about 3.6 dwelling units per acre across the amended area and that a central 14‑acre neighborhood park would be provided.
