The project that calls for townhouses to be developed on a rezoned Elliott and Wheeler Street has been called off after almost two months of meetings and opposition.

Cancelled plans

Virgil Moore, executive director of the Breckenridge Economic Development Corporation, said developer David Stowe spoke with him on Tuesday, Dec. 11, and said he no longer wished to pursue the development project.

Stowe concurred saying the opposition was the primary motive for changing his mind.

The Breckenridge City Commissioners met Tuesday and did not approve a parking ordinance that would have made it illegal to park vehicles on unimproved surfaces. They also gave awards to city employees who have been with Breckenridge for an extended period of time.

On top of this, they tabled a public hearing regarding the rezoning of Wheeler and Elliott Street to allow for townhouses. They will have a new vote for it at the Planning and Zoning Commission next Thursday, which will determine if the P&Z board sends a recommendation to the city for approval.
