MEMORANDUM �
TO: Garfield County Community Development o
FROM: Garfield & Hecht, P.C.
DATE: June 17, 2025
SUBJECT: 214 Center — Lot 2 updated site plan
On March 31, 2025, representatives of Citadel Glenwood, LLC met with planning staff to discuss
a new site plan for the remaining undeveloped portion of Lot 2 of the Glenwood Business Center
(aka Cooper Minor Subdivision). Citadel has since revised the site plan to address the comments
made during the meeting and prepared building elevations. The updated site plan and building
elevations are provided with this memo.
Development of Lot 2 is subject to BOCC Resolution No. 2023-42 recorded at Reception No.
995950 (the "Resolution") and the Cooper Minor Subdivision Plat recorded at Reception No.
995947 (the "Plat"). The Resolution and Plat impose several requirements that must be addressed
at the time of building permit.' Specifically, the following information must be provided at the
time of building permit:
A. For building permits that deviate from and exceed representations contained in the minor
subdivision application and traffic study based on type of uses and square footage,
provision of an updated traffic assessment based on actual uses proposed within the
building. Additional traffic improvements and updated County Access Permit may be
required based on assessment of actual uses.
B. Provision of detailed site plan including but not limited to confirmation of compliance with
off-street parking, landscaping, and general consistency with minor subdivision
representations.
C. Provision of detailed lighting and signage plans demonstrating compliance with the Land
Use and Development Code ("LUDC"), including demonstrating mitigation for lighting
impacts on adjacent residential properties.
' The Resolution also imposed a number of conditions and requirements that had to be satisfied before recording the
Plat. Those requirements were satisfied before the Plat was recorded in 2023 and are not addressed here.
D. Provision of detailed architectural elevations and building height calculations
demonstrating general conformance with the minor subdivision representations including
but not limited to building height maximum of 25 ft. and number of stories.
As described below, the development proposed in the site plan is consistent with the LUDC and
the minor subdivision application.
