Planning commission to review 3D redevelopment scenarios for city market site; staff says Kroger, owner already in early talks
Summary
Planning staff told the Breckenridge Planning Commission that 3D models showing development scenarios for the city market site and the F lot will be presented at a work session in two weeks, and that early conversations with Kroger and the property owner Kentro are underway to explore options including added density and workforce housing.
Planning staff told the Breckenridge Planning Commission on July 7 that 3D modeling for the Riverwalk planning effort will include alternative redevelopment scenarios for the city market site and the town’s F lot and will be presented at a work session in two weeks.
The models are intended to show a range of possibilities — from rebuilding the existing footprint to adding height and density — and to test whether the community would support denser development or mixed uses that could deliver workforce housing. "The 3D modeling that you'll be seeing at the Riverwalk is gonna show some alternative development scenarios on the city market site as one of the sites," Planning staff (Speaker 3) said.
Staff said they have already met with Kentro, the property owner, and Kroger, which leases the city market space, to identify the site’s constraints and early opportunities. "Kroger basically leases the city market space and that they have a cooperative arrangement on that," Speaker 3 said, describing the talks as exploratory and coordinated with consultants. Staff said concept sketches are being prepared with Kentro’s and Kroger’s consultant teams.
Commission members were told the comprehensive‑plan process will be used to frame what higher densities or taller building heights the community might accept on that parcel, and that any eventual project would likely be governed by a development agreement approved by the town council. Staff said the scenarios could include design alternatives that support additional workforce housing or improved delivery systems.
The town plans an exercise for commissioners and advisory committees during the upcoming work session to solicit feedback on the concept sketches and to allow broader community input before any development agreement is negotiated or formal application filed.
Next steps: staff will present the 3D models at the work session in two weeks; any subsequent proposals or a development agreement would return to the council for formal consideration.
