1. Docket No. 18090010 OA: Legacy PUD Amendment
The applicant seeks approval to amend the Legacy PUD text in order to adjust the maximum residential
unit limitations and specify the location and facilities for the amenity area. The site is located south of
146th Street and west of River Road. It is zoned Legacy PUD Z-501-07. Filed by Nelson &
Frankenberger, LLC on behalf of Platinum Properties.
Proiect Overview:
The Petitioner proposes to amend the Legacy PUD Ordinance to allow more apartments and set a timeframe and location
for the Legacy amenity area. The land surrounding the areas affected by the PUD changes are also zoned Legacy PUD,
except for a few areas north of 146th St.which consist of a residential subdivision and an apartment complex. Please see
the Petitioner's Information packet for more details.
Additional Analysis:
This ordinance amendment is proposed to address two specific items:
1. Legacy Amenity Area-The amendment more clearly sets a location and timeline for the installation of the
amenity area. The amenity area has always been planned for the Legacy development,but there was not a
specific time frame in place for when it will be built. This amendment will require the amenity area to be built
within 60 days following Technical Advisory Committee review of the site plan. The amendment also provides
the location for the amenity area which will be along Cherry Creek Boulevard. The items to be included in the
amenity area will include a pool,wading pool,bathhouse,pavilion,picnic area, sport court,playground
equipment,and parking area.
2. Housing type variety-Currently the PUD limits apartments to 300 units and limits all residential to 1,344 units
(including single-family). The amendment will allow for the total number of apartment units to be increased to
389 units. The overall permitted number of residential units will be reduced to a maximum of 1,250. While the
number of apartments permitted is increasing,the overall density of the development is actually being reduced.
The allowed locations for apartments is not changing. They are only permitted in the Urban Residential,Village Core,
and Corner Use Blocks. These PUD amendments should not have a negative impact on the development overall. It will
allow for more density near the core of Legacy and the retail and office areas and it will allow for additional variety in
housing options. The amendments will also provide more certainty on the location and time frame for the construction of
the amenity area.
