Board approves revised Evans G2 MPUD modification with design commitments and road improvements
Summary
The board approved a substantial modification to the Evans G2 MPUD in the Village of Pasadena Hills that increases residential entitlement in exchange for design commitments: buildings pushed to frontages, rear‑loaded townhomes on Keefer Road, retail design controls, and donor right‑of‑way and road construction to help build Keefer/Handcart intersections.
After a discussion and public input, the Board of County Commissioners approved a substantial modification to the Evans G2 MPUD in the Village of Pasadena Hills, advancing a revised village‑center concept with additional developer commitments to road improvements, retail design controls and buffering for neighbors.
Evans Properties representatives explained they voluntarily added conditions — not present in the project’s 2019 approval — including fronting retail buildings on the road, eliminating outparcels and constructing a donated right‑of‑way and west side of the Handcart intersection to meet an ultimate four‑lane configuration. The applicant’s team said the modifications are intended to make the western quadrant of the village center more walkable and to generate higher impact‑fee revenue that helps fund critical road improvements.
Commissioner discussion focused on site layout and walkability, with several commissioners saying the townhome concept is preferable to the garden‑style apartment layout shown in one concept. Staff and applicants said the modification requires either townhomes or multifamily on the west side and that conditions mandate rear‑loaded townhomes and retail design controls where appropriate. The board approved the modification after the applicant agreed to the added commitments.
