The Redevelopment Process

What is the Buckley Annex Redevelopment Plan?
The Buckley Annex Redevelopment Plan establishes the vision, guiding principles and conceptual plan for the Buckley Annex project. It was created during a public planning process in 2007-8 involving several community task forces and stakeholder groups. You can view the plan here.

What is a General Development Plan?
A General Development Plan establishes a framework for large or phased projects. The GDP is focused on land use, open space, transportation, water, wastewater, utilities and urban design. It also provides a conceptual plan for integrating the anticipated land uses with the necessary infrastructure. An approved GDP constitutes approval of a master development plan that will guide all future improvements within the defined GDP boundaries.

Have any changes been made to the 2008 Redevelopment Plan?
Major proposed changes involve Lowry Boulevard and removal of the First Avenue berm. The proposed changes are due to more detailed analysis of development costs, sustainable development practices and market feedback. All proposed refinements will undergo a full review by various departments within the city as part of the General Development Plan process. Topics are being discussed in detail at LRA committee meetings; click here for upcoming meetings.
