Windish R V Center plans to expand and upgrade the site with a new building and associated improvements in order to consolidate sales and service operations into one facility. The current business operates from two locations on opposite sides of Interstate 25. The intention is to remove the small 2,039 square -foot -modular office building and replace it with a newly constructed facility designed to meet current operational and customer service needs. The proposed building is approximately 25,000 square feet, including about 13,750 square feet of service bay area and about 10,000 square feet of showroom and office space facing the Interstate 25 Frontage Road. The site will be reconfigured to improve circulation and functionality while meeting the Town of Firestone development regulations and design standards. PROJECT NARRATIVE — ODP AMENDMENT: Town staff has determined that an Outline Development Plan Amendment is required to clearly restate and clarify the land uses that were established and approved under the original Outline Development Plan for the New Vision Johnson R V property. While the original ODP identified recreational vehicle sales, service, and rentals as the intended use, it did not fully describe the range of commercial vehicle related activities that have continuously operated on the site. This amendment is being submitted to provide clear documentation and remove ambiguity for current and future interpretation. The applicant has updated the Land Use and Zoning Statement to accurately reflect the established commercial vehicle related uses on the property. The existing use for this property is vehicle sales, rental, service, repair, and storage, including recreational vehicles and other motor vehicles. These uses are consistent with the commercial vehicle related use identified in the originally approved ODP and have continued without interruption. When the property was annexed, it was assigned the Regional Commercial Planned Unit Development (RC P U D) zoning designation to ensure that these established uses could continue without limitation. The P U D overlay was intentionally applied to broaden the permitted uses beyond the standard Regional Commercial zone district and to allow the full range of commercial vehicle related uses to remain permitted on the site. 1715 Iron Horse Drive Un+ 720 • Longmcnt. CO 5050 • Phone 720 5844981 • permo-tesgreup corn PermontesGroup,nc This ODP Amendment does not propose a zoning change. The purpose of the amendment is to reaffirm and clarify the allowed land uses consistent with the original entitlements and the intent of the RC P U D zoning. This clarification ensures appropriate flexibility for the continued operation of Windish R V Center and for any future commercial vehicle related use permitted under the P U D.

The New Vision — Johnson RV ODP was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Town of Firestone through Ordinance No. 816 on January 23, 2013, which implemented the zoning district PUD-RC (Regional Commercial). The Town of Firestone Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the ODPA as set forth in PC -26-01 on March 5, 2026.

The Applicant wishes to construct a building for RV storage, which has triggered this ODP Amendment (ODPA). This ODPA is necessary to bring the property into compliance with the current regulations set forth in the FDC before a Final Development Plan is submitted. The current use of the property will not change with the approval of this ODPA. New Vision — Johnson ODP Amendment Analysis This New Vision — Johnson ODP Amendment carries over the standards of the Original ODP and includes new standards to bring the property into conformance with modern FDC regulations. Some of the areas addressed include: • Updated Land Use and Zoning language that specifically allows Recreational Vehicle Sales and Rentals, Recreational Vehicle Service, and Outdoor Recreational Vehicle Storage as permitted uses on this site. • A statement that the Town of Firestone's Regional Commercial (RC) Zone District Standards shall apply, except where development standards are expressly stated within this ODP Amendment. • No restrictions regarding minimum distance from the interstate, arterial, and section line roadways for this use. • Landscaping and Screening requirements will apply to this site as outlined in the FDC.

PUD District Approval Criteria and Staff Analysis: This Outline Development Plan Amendment application (ODPA-25-029) was reviewed for compliance with the Approval Criteria from Section 16.7.5.B.4 of the FDC. Staff makes the following findings: New Vision — Johnson RV ODP Amendment No. 1 Staff Report A. The PUD district zoning is generally consistent with the purpose of the PUD zone district as set forth in FDC Subsection 2.4.E. Staff Response: The ODP is generally consistent with the purpose of the PUD zone district as outlined in FDC subsection 2.4.E. B.

Staff Response: The ODP complies with all applicable standards and criteria from Section 7.5. C. The development proposed on the subject property is not feasible under any other zone districts, and would require an unreasonable number of variances or waivers and conditions. Staff Response: The current use is not permitted in any single existing Zoning District established in the FDC due to the site's proximity to Interstate -25. Specifically, the proposed use could not be permitted by any other means, as the Town does not permit Variances of Use. Without the proposed ODPA, the site would continue to operate as a nonconforming use. D. The PUD district and the PUD District Plan establish permitted uses that are compatible with existing land uses adjacent to the subject property. Staff Response: The proposed ODP District Plan establishes permitted uses that are compatible with the existing land uses adjacent to the subject property. E. The PUD District and the PUD District Plan establish permitted building forms that are compatible with adjacent existing building forms, or which are made compatible through appropriate transitions at the boundaries of the PUD District Plan (e.g., through decreases in building height; through significant distance or separation by rights -of -way, landscaping or similar features; or through innovative building design). Staff Response: The proposed ODP District Plan does not include any modifications or building form requirements. All future building forms must comply with the Firestone Development Code.
