Notices

• The applicant/appellant for the proposed Large Retail Facility (LRF) at the intersection of Coors and Montaño has decided not to pursue a District Court appeal of the City Council’s denial of their appeal of the Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) denial of the project.  If the property owner and/or a new developer wishes to pursue another LRF development on the subject site, then that will require an entirely new submittal to the EPC for public hearing review and action.  Other types of retail/office development, if it meets the underlying design standards and requirements, could possibly proceed without EPC review and action.
