Douglas County approves Redemption Church minor development final plat
Summary
Douglas County commissioners approved a minor development final plat on June 9, 2026, creating a 4.5-acre nonresidential lot for a proposed Redemption Church (project file SB2026-00005). The approval includes three staff-recommended conditions after staff review and an 8–0 planning commission recommendation; no public speakers attended.
Douglas County commissioners approved a minor development final plat on June 9, 2026, to create a single 4.5-acre nonresidential lot for a proposed Redemption Church at the intersection of Heirloom Parkway and Hess Road.
The decision came after a staff presentation by Principal Planner Eric Pavlick of the Department of Community Development, who said the proposal (project file SB2026-00005) seeks to establish one nonresidential lot out of a 549-acre parcel owned by Parker Water and Sanitation District. Pavlick told the board that written public comments from adjacent property owners in the Parker Homestead subdivision raised concerns about drainage, traffic, compatibility, noise and safety. He said the planning commission heard the matter on June 1, 2026, and recommended approval by an 8–0 vote.
Pavlick summarized referral agency comments and staff review under Article 6A of the Douglas County Subdivision Resolution and recommended three conditions for approval: (1) during construction the applicant and its successors must take all reasonable care to watch for historic, paleontological and other cultural resources and immediately notify Douglas County if any are discovered; (2) technical corrections to the plat exhibit must be made to the satisfaction of Douglas County prior to recordation; and (3) all commitments made by the applicant during the hearing and in writing must be satisfied and relied upon by the board as conditions of approval.
Joe Koko of CKE Engineering, speaking for Parker Water and Sanitation District, described the parcel as a remnant created by dedication of Heirloom Parkway and said the district will provide water and sewer service and that access will be from Heirloom Parkway. He also said a separate site improvement plan (SIP) application is in process. When asked by a commissioner whether the applicant accepted the three conditions, Koko replied, "We agree with the conditions."
The board asked whether any public commenters were present; staff noted one person (John Deal) had signed up but was not in attendance, and no members of the public spoke at the hearing. The board then moved, seconded and approved the minor development final plat by voice vote; the minutes record that the plat was approved and the three conditions were attached. The motion on the record referenced project file SB2026-00005.
The board scheduled its next land use meeting and public hearing for Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at 2:30 p.m., and adjourned.
