Staff and commissioners then discussed whether the town should require a material mock-up — a small on-site sample of proposed materials, colors and finishes — for large multifamily or Main Street projects to ensure that built construction matches approved renderings. \"We do require the elevations. We do compare them to what was approved, but ... one thing the town and the plan zoning commission could consider requiring is a material sample built on-site at the outset of construction to kind of finalize materials, colors,\" a town planning staff member said during the update.

Commissioners debated the burden on developers and whether a mock-up would stifle development. Some commissioners described mock-ups as a standard practice on larger projects and said costs are typically modest compared with overall budgets. Others said the town should apply the requirement selectively and keep flexibility to lift a requirement where it would create an undue burden.

The commission did not adopt a formal new requirement at the Jan. 9 meeting. Instead, commissioners asked staff to retain the mock-up concept in the planning \"toolbox\" and to bring a more detailed proposal for when and how such mock-ups should be required for future large or context-sensitive developments. Staff noted the measure could be applied selectively to projects where scale, context or past challenges with built outcomes justify it.

The Main Street Marketplace team will proceed with the revised designs; staff said they will circulate the updated materials and elevations to commissioners by email for review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Carbondale Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting, January 9, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Town staff said architects revised the Main Street Marketplace townhome designs to align with approved plans; commissioners debated adding on-site material mock-ups as a standard condition for large multifamily or Main Street projects and agreed to keep mock-ups as a tool for future projects rather than impose it immediately.","taxTitle","Carbondale, Garfield County, Colorado","taxId",61895,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6392301,"Planning commission approves lot split at 495 North 8th Street",801,174000,975000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2110004-78cac69e7a350368df4a3f18c2dc44ce&start=174&end=975","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2110004-78cac69e7a350368df4a3f18c2dc44ce/thumbnail_174000.jpg","/articles/6392301/Carbondale/Garfield-County/Colorado/Planning-commission-approves-lot-split-at-495-North-8th-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6392301-9a6b84eb0a1e9dfa0ca0fd703e012c39/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140331&Signature=c8OP7VpLX1SlUYmR4-U9iqp8sPQ2McPaN604hcDRTjVNKzLWRprVcGktBbB19nK2yTPVbi0rotv6TF73D5pTB3SQEpZCNMIzAtQNZHaEkj87adwD8hQblyHSZmgESMlPjTkpns29HfeDLp73zpl8MuQaeKj~9l7jcYyZyvlKumcR4gHgDZgB-XJFO6Lg15N8Vry1SNUD8OXxZ6YXsaESnKHGucIe29nWrUUgj1q72aoJWO8IQYCWj7PKjep4N-BNYV2knq3Rcd~paS5QMEnRAsoD7q56JLF6XLlwMmaGAEsaqq2ca3BASru7joM5NnvwwMtX~utdL4QVgiT28ABCew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Carbondale Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 9 approved a subdivision-exemption lot split that will create a new buildable parcel at 495 North 8th Street.

The vote approved Resolution No. 1, Series of 2025, authorizing the plat as presented. The action followed a public hearing and staff recommendation that the application meets applicable code requirements.

The split would carve the southern portion from an existing 10,000-plus-square-foot lot to create a conforming lot in a zone district where minimum lots are 3,000 square feet. Town planning staff said all setbacks, width and depth standards and impervious-surface limits will be checked at the time of building permit review. \"The proposal is about as simple as you get,\" Bob Schultz said while describing the application and how utilities will be handled.

Schultz, who identified himself as representing the applicants, said the existing house on the retained parcel currently receives water and electric service that cross the part of the lot being created. The applicants have prepared a temporary easement to protect those utilities until the spring, when the water line will be re-routed to the retained lot and the electric service buried and relocated to conform with code. After relocation, the applicants intend to vacate the temporary easements so the new lot is free of those encumbrances.

Commissioners discussed whether the smaller created lot (referred to in discussion as \"lot B\") offers practical development potential given its dimensions. Commissioners asked whether a future variance would be necessary for any deviation from dimensional standards and noted that the application before them was only for a lot split, not for building plans. One commissioner said they personally live on a 3,000-square-foot lot and that small footprints can work; commissioners otherwise agreed the proposed lot meets the zone standards as written.

During the public-hearing period no members of the public offered testimony; the commission opened and then closed public comment and proceeded to a vote. A voice vote recorded three ayes in favor; the motion carried and the resolution was approved.

Next steps: the applicants will relocate utilities in the spring as described, seek building permits for any new residence on the created lot, and request vacation of the temporary easements after utilities are relocated. The commission did not attach additional conditions beyond standard permitting requirements.","The Carbondale Planning and Zoning Commission approved a subdivision exemption to split a 10,000+ square-foot parcel at 495 North 8th Street into a new buildable lot; staff said the split meets code and utilities will be temporarily protected by an easement until relocation in spring.","actionData","errors"]
