Brighton approves Telluride Business Park development-agreement amendment with stormwater reimbursement

Brighton City Council on June 16 approved Resolution 2026-52, authorizing a First Amendment to the Telluride Business Park and Telluride Business Park II Development Agreements to update stormwater infrastructure requirements, maintenance obligations, and reimbursement provisions for roughly 6.52 acres of property.

Senior Planner Summer Mccann presented the amendment, saying the four lots were platted under two separate plats with shared public improvements and that several provisions in the original agreements no longer align with current stormwater management practices or the city's master drainage plan. The amendment extends the updated requirements to all four lots and adopts the city's standardized Stormwater Maintenance Agreement.

The amendment also updates developer obligations for adjacent storm drainage improvements, requires modifications to convert an existing retention pond to a detention pond once the regional outfall is constructed, and includes a Construction and Reimbursement Agreement. Staff materials calculate the city's Storm Drainage Impact Fee at $1.03 per square foot and tie eligible reimbursement to 55,674 sq. ft. of new impervious area, which the minutes show equals $57,344 in potential reimbursement for eligible costs. The reimbursement process requires the developer to submit supporting cost documentation; the city will review and reimburse eligible costs within 90 days after receiving all required documentation.

Councilmember Tom Green moved to approve the resolution; Councilmember Rhiannon Collins seconded. The motion passed with eight affirmative votes; Councilmember Lloyd Worth recused himself from the item.
