On September 20, the
Planning and Zoning
Commission received public
comment and closed the
public hearing on the
Orchard Station Subarea.
The Commission will
continue their deliberations
at the October 18
Commission meeting.
At the Monday, October 3, 2016, City Council meeting,
the Greenwood Village City Council approved
the following motion:
If the Planning and Zoning Commission makes a
recommendation to City Council to adopt an amendment to
the Comprehensive Plan for the Orchard Station Subarea,
public education, information and input meetings will be
held in each Council District before the plan is heard by
City Council.
These meetings will be held in January 2017.
Meeting dates, times and locations will be published
in the November Newsletter.
The Orchard Station Subarea is a
proposed amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan. The Planning
and Zoning Commission is
responsible for providing a
recommendation to City Council on
proposed modifications to the
Comprehensive Plan. The Orchard
Station Subarea is located north of
Orchard Road and west of Interstate
25 in the vicinity of the Orchard
Light Rail Station. The goal of the
subarea is to support redevelopment
in proximity to the Orchard Light
Rail Station to create a mix of office,
residential, and retail land uses with
a network of public spaces. The
draft Orchard Station Subarea is
available at www.greenwood
village.com. The Comprehensive
Plan is a guiding document. Any
future redevelopment proposals of
the properties within the outlined
Subarea would require approval of
development plans.
