planning and zoning

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.

A third meeting will be held regarding the rezoning of Wheeler and Elliot Street to allow for townhouses, due to an ineligible vote casted in the prior meeting. The new meeting will be held Thursday, Dec. 13.

After two tumultuous meetings for the city of Breckenridge’s Planning and Zoning Commission, where several from the public and the city showed to argue for or against a townhouse development project, the commission will hold its third one before it goes to the city in January.

The Planning and Zoning Commissioners met Tuesday evening for the second time regarding the rezoning of a certain part of town, which would allow the building of townhouses on Elliott Street. They passed the redistricting in a 3-2 vote.
