Plans for a five-story, mixed-use branded residential building with 200 units will be before the Dillon Planning and Zoning Commission on Wednesday, Feb. 21, according to the upcoming meeting agenda.
Developer Jake Porritt has previously discussed the structure proposed at 626 and 652 Lake Dillon Drive and 153 and 223 W. LaBonte Drive — where the Arapahoe Cafe and Best Western now stand — as part of his plans to redevelop much of the town core.
Porritt is proposing a 485,000-square-foot building with three restaurants — including a rooftop restaurant and bar — as well as condominium units, retail space, a public observation tower and a private pool and terrace, a staff memo included in the agenda packet states. A two-level parking structure beneath the development would reportedly provide 480 total parking spaces.
Porritt has previously described branded residences as condo units owned by individuals who can rent the units out as short-term rentals through a company like Marriot, Hyatt or Hilton.
A Level IV Development Application for a Planned Unit Development, the project requires public hearings before both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council, according to the staff memo.
