An earlier version of this article said the age-targeted premise for Home Place Ranch “lived in the marketing narrative and the hearing testimony.” That understated the record. The premise also appeared in the Town of Monument’s own staff report, in the official Planning Commission and Board of Trustees packets, and in the applicant’s formal response to the Town’s review criteria. The article has been revised to say so. The finding is unchanged, and stronger: the premise was documented throughout the approval record, and no covenant, deed restriction or condition required it to be kept — a point the Town’s staff report made to the Board at the time.
The article also treated the five conditions listed in Exhibit A to Ordinance 28-2019 as though they were the whole of the written approval. They were not. The Board decided the application against twelve review and approval criteria in the Municipal Code then in force, at Section 17.40.190(E). The article has been revised to reflect that, and to note that none of the twelve criteria concerns age, occupancy or amenity access.
Several clarifications have been added: that the traffic studies’ use of standard single-family trip rates was the conservative choice; that Lewis-Palmer School District 38 would gain per-pupil revenue from added enrollment; that the age-targeted premise applied principally to Phase 1; that the 2019 proposal voluntarily reduced Phase 1 from the roughly 400 units contemplated by the sketch plan to 300; and that HR Green was the developer’s planning and engineering consultant rather than the landowner or homebuilder, with nothing in the record reviewed indicating any party acted unlawfully. The description of the entitlement has been revised to give its full sequence, from 1,019 units in the earliest 2006 sketch to 990 as revised, to the 912 approved in 2007. The caption on the site plan has been revised to identify the document precisely.
These changes follow correspondence with Phil Stuepfert of HR Green.
