Cherry Creek Area Plan and Fillmore Plaza Updates
At last Tuesday's CCNNA General Resident Meeting two important CCN development issues were discussed - the Cherry Creek Area Planning process and the Western Development / Sturm Group proposal for a street through Fillmore Plaza.
Cherry Creek Area Plan City Planners presented an overview on the Cherry Creek Area Planning process, which began this month. This important planning will focus on the economic development of the entire Cherry Creek community. Many important issues related to residential and commercial development, traffic management, hotel locations, and land use / zoning will be addressed, and your participation and input is encouraged. You will be given updates, and focus groups on key issues will be held. The Cherry Creek Area Plan website address is www.denvergov.com/cherrycreek , which describes the process, provides current planning information, and gives you the opportunity to get involved. Please visit the website for complete information.
Fillmore Plaza - CCNNA made a presentation on Fillmore Plaza (FP), and a good discussion on various Fillmore Plaza and Business Improvement District (BID) development issues occurred. The next steps on the FP street issue will be:
(1) The Business Improvement District Board approved the exploration on the proposed developers' concept on a street through FP;
(2) When the developer's street concept design is complete, the BID will notify CCNNA that an open house is ready for residents and other Cherry Creek stakeholders to view the concept design drawings. CCNNA will communicate the location and times of the open house;
(3) A series of public resident meetings will be held for CCN residents to speak directly to the developers and the BID about the street concept and Plaza management as well as the current BID FP plan for open space without a street; and
(4) At each public meeting the residents will vote will as to whether FP should remain a dedicated pedestrian open space or whether Fillmore Street should be re-opened through the plaza.
Councilwoman Jeanne Robb stated it was not clear if City Council approval is required and has contacted the City Attorney for an opinion. CCNNA will publicize the dates of the open house and resident public meetings.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any CCNNA Board member. __._,_.___

FILLMORE PLAZA The property owners of either side of Fillmore Plaza, Western Development and The Sturm Group, are again seeking city approval to replace Fillmore Plaza with a street. This same proposal was defeated in 2006 due to the overwhelming opposition of CCN neighbors and many business owners.
