Broomfield City Council approved a new development in southwest Broomfield that will usher in a new brewery/restaurant, a recreational facility that will include indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, an outdoor courtyard area and lawn games such as table tennis and cornhole. In Tuesday night’s regular meeting, council unanimously approved the new Village of West View development. The development, located west of Simms Street on Skystone Parkway, includes two parcels of land totaling 13.
3 acres. The north parcel of land will be used for commercial development, and the southern for mixed-use. Plans for the northern parcel included a restaurant, an event space outdoor courtyard and pickleball courts.
The southern property plans to include 78 condominium units spread across 14 buildings and above commercial buildings on the parcel. Nine of the units will be designated as affordable housing under Broomfield’s Inclusionary Housing Program. The southern parcel is also slated to have commercial development, including a quick-service drive-thru establishment.
Parking in the area was determined by a study completed by applicant Josh Timon. With approval from the council, development of both parcels can begin soon. The meeting also saw a vote to exit the Jefferson Parkway Public Highway Authority, a group consisting of Jefferson County, Arvada and Broomfield that banded together to build a commuter road southwest of Broomfield.
Council made the decision to exit the agreement and will no longer serve on the board of the authority. “In 2019, one of my first votes on any board was on JPPHA which was ‘no,’” Ward 5 Councilmember Heidi Henkel said. “We are thankful for our neighboring jurisdictions as we thoughtfully came to this decision and we will continue to protect the economic development in Broomfield.
