MANITOU URBAN RENEWAL BOARD - 2019 LAND USE UPDATE - Land Use Model

Sep 11, 2026

Land Use Model supports a redevelopment vision for the Manitou Urban Renewal District, using planning assumptions over a 25-year horizon. Key inputs include constraints from properties unlikely to redevelop, impacts of the Fountain Creek floodplain, and roadway design improvements tied to the West Avenues Project. Two alternatives guide land use: focusing the district on the Beckers Lane/Manitou Avenue intersection, encouraging mixed-use development, strengthening creek path and public space links, and enhancing district entry and the Highway 24/Manitou Avenue interchange identity.

FAQs

What is the purpose of the Land Use Model in this update?

It creates a vision for redevelopment of the Urban Renewal area, using planning assumptions and land use alternatives to guide future development.

What assumptions influence redevelopment planning?

Some properties are unlikely to redevelop within the 25-year timeframe, the Fountain Creek floodplain affects some parcels, and West Avenues Project roadway design changes aim for safer, more pedestrian-friendly access.

How do Land Use Plan A and Plan B differ?

Plan A respects current parcel boundaries and favors lodging over multi-family with primarily one- and two-story buildings. Plan B envisions parcel assembly to enable redevelopment and favors multi-family use, including three- and four-story buildings and the possibility of a parking structure.
