Item number four, site plan.

The applicant Michael McDermott is requesting approval of a site plan for the expansion of the MAC Center to include the addition of a turf field and fence over eight feet tall, as well as to relocate parking.

The property is located at 801 Loma Colorado Boulevard Northeast and consists of 7.3264 acres.

Staff contact is Liz Ruiz Carlos.

Staff recommends the planning and zoning board recommend approval with findings and conditions.

Again, the item before you is a site plan for 801 Loma Colorado Boulevard.

The subject property is legally described as tracked P1CA and consists again of approximately 7.3264 acres.

The subject property is owned SU special use for educational, recreational, and cultural uses by ordinance number 94-69.

The subject property is currently developed at the McDermott Athletic Center, known as the MAC recreation and event center.

Adjacent properties to the southeast across Loma, Colorado Boulevard, Northeast would be the Loma, Colorado Subdivision, Zoned SU special use for medium density single family residential.

The property to the southwest of the same zoning ordinance and its allocation of the Loma, Colorado Main Library.

To the west and north are undeveloped SU special use mixed use properties and to the immediate northwest, the property has a similar zoning designation with restaurants, bars, and similar uses included.

Development plan approval shall be given by the governing body pursuant to review by the planning and zoning commission for any and all specific projects.

Per the applicant, this would require turfing over existing parking.

However, this parking would be replaced by parking in a compacted dirt law to the north of the property.

The turf area will also feature an over eight-foot fence around the turf field.

Per the applicant again, uh Kate Gates will be constructed and keys will be provided to fire officials.

The ground lease also allows for authorization of uses beyond sports fitness recreation and leisure activities.

And with the approval of this site plan, explicit authorization for a turf field and accompanying fence will be granted to the applicant slash tenant pursuant to section six paragraph B of the ground lease.

Uh and where it will be relocated.
