Background: 600 9^th Street (the “Site”) is a parcel of land consisting of all or portions of 16 platted lots and vacated rights of way. The parcel is lots 1-12 of Block 17 and lots 9-12 of Block 23 in the Original Town Map of Golden, North of Clear Creek along with areas of vacated streets and alleys. The applicant has submitted a complete application to subdivide this property into 3 buildable lots with various tracts, where previously the parcel had multiple and connected buildings overlaying the lots. The Site is 4.562 acres and is located on the corner of Ford and 9^th Street and is zoned PUD.

Analysis: The minor plat is not proposing any new easements or dedications to the City for the Site, simply creating three privately owned lots and four tracts. The plat meets the requirements of Title 17’s minor subdivision requirements. The lots and tracts are consistent with the PUD. The lots create three buildable sites that are capable of meeting the PUD’s setback and access requirements. The Tracts are for public amenities such as private roadways and plazas. The tracts are to be 100% privately owned and maintained. Required public access easements per the PUD will be reviewed by a separate instrument with a specific agreement for the access dedication.
