Working Group backs village-area expansion with conditions after debate
Summary
The Citizens Working Group advanced a recommendation to expand a village-area land-use designation by roughly 245 acres, citing access via Rocky Ford Road and walkability considerations; one member opposed, citing potential short-term consequences and buffer concerns.
The working group debated a subcommittee recommendation to extend the village designation to include approximately 245 acres south of the creek and set back from Route 60 to allow village-style mixed-use development. S3 described the subcommittee’s 5–1 vote to bring the expansion forward and noted access issues near Rocky Ford Road and an L-shaped parcel (parcel 3971) that some members wanted excluded.
Members discussed transportation connections and walkability; S5 said a road connection to Rocky Ford would relieve pressure on the Route 60 intersection by the Valero, while S4 emphasized transitions from higher-density development back to existing single-family neighborhoods. After discussion, the group moved to approve the expansion 'as presented.' The motion passed by voice; S4 recorded an opposed position in the roll-call discussion.
