Committee advances rezoning for 3232 Larimer Street to IMX‑D07
Summary
The South Park committee voted to send a rezoning request for 3232 Larimer Street to the full council after staff recommended IMX‑D07 to allow mixed‑use development; the property owner said they envision a community green space and staff noted planning‑board support and public letters of support.
The South Park committee moved April 8 to forward a rezoning request for 3232 Larimer Street to the full City Council, advancing a proposal to change the site’s zoning to IMX‑D07, a mixed‑use district with Design Overlay D07 intended to support walkable, adaptable building forms.
Brandon Shaver, senior city planner with Community Planning and Development, told the committee the subject parcel is vacant and adjacent to higher‑intensity mixed‑use areas. "The proposed zoning is IMX D07," Shaver said, adding that the planning board had recommended approval and that staff had received letters of support from nearby neighborhood representatives and members of the public.
The applicant’s representative said the owners and tenants have engaged neighbors and local businesses and described the intended future use as open space. "We're honestly thinking of like a green space, outside space... make sure that people in the community can continue their walkability," the representative said, identifying the ownership as family‑held parcels under an LLC (referred to in the meeting as Sons Power).
Committee members asked for details about Design Overlay D07 and its adoption date; Shaver said the overlay was adopted in 2018 and noted overlay provisions that affect minimum street‑level height and street‑facing design elements. Staff also told the committee the case is tentatively scheduled for a public hearing in mid‑May.
After questions and no opposition noted from online attendees, the committee chair called for a motion; a motion and second were recorded and the item was advanced to the full council for consideration on the council floor.
Next steps: the rezoning will appear before the full City Council for a public hearing and final action; staff indicated a tentative mid‑May hearing date.
