NEEDLE TOWERS HEIGHT CONCEPT The Consultant Team further derived that a few taller tower buildings could penetrate the I-25 Height Plane. The tower buildings would be similar in height to the Landmark condominium towers and the effect would maintain view corridors between the tower buildings. SEPTEMBER 16, 2015 Community Open House To Obtain Input From Residents Content and results of the study sessions with City Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission were presented to citizens, including a conceptual plan for the Orchard Road interchange to mitigate traffic impacts from the subarea. Input expressed by citizens included improving pedestrian connections from Greenwood Hills to Orchard Station; increasing the amount of parking at Orchard Station; the potential use of the area as a festival site (e.g. Cherry Creek Arts Festival); the desire for high-end mixed use development for the site; the need to limit the height of residential buildings; reconfiguring the loop road around the Triad; the desire for high quality construction in all buildings; the desire for residential properties to be “Greenwood Village” quality and be to-own, not to-rent units. In addition, comments were received regarding adequate setbacks from Orchard Road; public green space; the desire for buildings to be higher near I-25 and shorter near residential neighborhoods; the desire to allow buildings above 15 stories near I-25; and the sentiment that height is not the issue, instead focus on the quality of the design. In addition, the overcrowding of schools as a result of the Subarea was expressed. Action: Input received from citizens attending the community open house was shared with City Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission on September 21, 2015. SEPTEMBER 21, 2015 Joint Study Session With City Council And Planning & Zoning Commission The Consultant Team presented members with a recap of preliminary scenarios, a summary of the public open house, and a refined redevelopment concept plan along with impacts to economics and traffic. In an effort for Greenwood Village to create a center that will distinguish itself from other local and regional station areas, the Consultant Team recommended a development program using input from City Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission based on the following guiding principles: create a vibrant town center; leverage the light rail station; balance residential, retail, office, and hospitality uses; protect and enhance the Landmark and important views; and emphasize parks, greenways, and public space. Action: City Council directed staff to pursue planning around City Council’s preferred development scenario (Scenario B Modified) based on the guiding principles recommended by the Consultant Team.
