Council approves Dawson Trails planning area D site development plan for 256 single‑family lots
Summary
The council approved a site development plan for 256 single‑family homes in Dawson Trails Planning Area D, including dedication of 43.5 acres of public open space and trail connections; Planning Commission had recommended approval (5‑0).
Council on May 20 approved Resolution 2025‑62, the site development plan (SDP) for a 53‑acre portion of Dawson Trails Planning Area D, authorizing 256 single‑family detached lots, neighborhood parks and trail connections linking to the Dawson Trails Greenway.
Plan details: the SDP divides the area with Blanca Peak Parkway as a central loop; the north block contains larger lots (46 lots) and the south block contains 201 smaller lots, including approximately 90 alley‑loaded homes. The applicant is dedicating about 43.5 acres of public land for open space and trail amenities, including a neighborhood park (named in materials as "Kenebel Street Park"), a pump track and multiple trail connections with the town’s planned Greenway and underpass system.
Why it matters: the plan is the second neighborhood SDP in Dawson Trails; staff and the applicant said the design aligns with the Dawson Trails PD regulations and the town’s master plan. Planning Commission voted to recommend approval (5‑0), and council recorded a 6‑0 vote in favor. Council members asked about future community amenities and the timing of neighborhood build‑out; the applicant estimated phased absorption over several years and noted future amenity and amenity area (E‑2) planning is underway.
Ending: Council approved the SDP and staff will track neighborhood SDP submittals and construction sequencing, and ensure required trail and park amenities are delivered with the development.
