Longmont approves First & Main transit-center development agreement as RTD commits $16 million
Summary
Council approved a development agreement with Tebow Properties for the First & Main transit center and transit‑oriented development, noting a $16 million contribution from RTD, a contract requirement of at least 200 RTD parking spaces and ongoing design coordination with Coburn, Tivo Properties and the LDDA.
The Longmont City Council on Nov. 3 approved the development agreement with Tebow Properties to develop the First & Main transit center and an associated transit-oriented development. The ordinance (2025-80) carried unanimously after a staff-led discussion and council questions about design, parking and multimodal features.
Council member Popkin, who pulled item 9f for discussion, thanked staff and council for the work and noted that Regional Transportation District (RTD) is contributing $16,000,000 to the project. Laura Moody, development director, said the city has begun a charrette‑style design process with Coburn (design consultants), Tivo Properties (property owner), the Longmont Downtown Development Authority and RTD. Laura Moody said staff is coordinating the project’s engineering details — including wastewater relocation and stormwater — in parallel with roadway connections such as the Kaufman Street extension.
On parking, staff said the legally required minimum under the agreement is 200 spaces for RTD, with the total structure potentially rising to roughly 600 spaces depending on the number of residential units and commercial needs. Staff described three parking groups: RTD-required spaces, residential parking to be determined by unit count, and commercial/public/excess spaces.
Council members also asked about bike-share and microtransit accommodations. Staff said the design identifies an area on the west side of the site, adjacent to a planned bike path, that could host bike-share infrastructure and other micromobility features. The city emphasized the intent to make the facility multimodal, serving regional bus service, local microtransit and bicycle connections.
The motion to approve the development agreement was moved by Council member Popkin and seconded by Council member Yarbrough; the motion passed unanimously.
