I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Item three is a moment of silence. Please join me in a moment of silence. Thank you. Item four is land acknowledgement. And tonight we have John Elgy, Council Member John Elgy, reading our land acknowledgement. Will you read the land acknowledgement this evening, John?

Thank you, Madam Mayor Pro Tem. The City of Thornton respectfully acknowledges the land on which we stand is the traditional territory of the Apache, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, Lakota, Navajo, Pueblo, Shoshone, and Southern Ute tribes and nations who were the original stewards of this land, We honor the history, culture, and contributions both past and present of these indigenous nations and tribes.

Thank you. Number five is roll call of council. Clerk, will you please call the roll of council?

Thank you. Item six is approval of the agenda. Are there any staff changes to the agenda tonight?

Are there any, is there, I'm sorry. Council, are there any changes to the agenda tonight?

Yes, Madam Mayor, I would ask that we add Action Item 14A, a motion requesting a staff report on options to support our police officers during high-risk calls, including drones as first responders and in-car cameras, to the agenda.

Okay, thank you. We've noted the change to the agenda for 14A. Is there a motion to approve the agenda with the change presented by Council Member Bird?

Thank you. Okay. And can we please pull the Council?

Thank you. Item seven is Presentations. Item 7A is a resolution declaring October 2026 as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Awareness Month in the City of Thornton, Colorado. And tonight we have Councilmember Elge reading the resolution.

Thank you, Madam Mayor Pro Tem. I'd like to introduce the resolution this evening declaring October 2026 as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Awareness Month in the City of Thornton, Colorado. Whereas, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD, is a neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood and may continue throughout a person's life, affecting individuals across all ages, backgrounds, and communities. And whereas, ADHD is not experienced in the same way by every individual and may present differently across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, with symptoms and their

It has been moved and seconded to approve the resolution. Is there any discussion? And since you read the motion, I will let you go first, Councilmember Aldi.

Thank you, Madam Mayor Portemius. I might be a little bit terse, so I want to apologize in advance. I am on the ADHD autism spectrum, so this is very personal to me, and I thank the City of Thornton and my colleagues in Council for recognizing this. During my early childhood, I had major struggles interacting with humans due to my condition. Treatments for ADHD over half a century ago were basic and mostly experimental. I made it through, but I've always and still very much deal with being bullied. A good part of that is that I am an adoptee, which means that the perception of those who have a

Thank you. Is there anybody else who'd like to make any comments? Any discussion? All right. Well, I just want to thank Councilmember Alge for reading this resolution tonight. I brought this forward over the last years I've been on council because it's important to me as a special education teacher to recognize this, and I want to thank Council Member Algy for telling his story, because I think real stories about neurodivergence are important for people to hear and understand, and understand that bullying is not okay. But also, kids with ADHD, autism, they lead lives typically, a lot of times

Thank you. Item 7B is a resolution declaring October 2026 as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Thornton, Colorado. Who would like to introduce this item? It's actually Chris Russell. So thank you, Chris, for reading this.

Thank you. I'd like to introduce a resolution declaring October 2026 as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Thornton, Colorado. Whereas breast cancer is the second most common cancer for women, and Breast Cancer Awareness Month serves as an opportunity to increase awareness of the disease and encourage individuals to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages. And whereas many women are unaware that they are at risk for breast cancer and need to have regular screening mammograms in accordance with the nationally accepted guidelines. And whereas doctors estimate tha

It has been moved and seconded to approve the resolution. Is there any discussion on this resolution? And Council Member Russell, you have the floor to go first.

Thank you. I think just about probably everybody in this room has known, met, had a family member, a friend that has encountered breast cancer in their lifetime. It is ultimately very common. It's within women and in men, but What we are seeing, and this was actually in the news not too long ago, through one of the local congressional representatives here in Northern Colorado, his wife was diagnosed and she was diagnosed at an early age. And it seems to be that these diagnoses are coming at earlier ages for women. So the importance of asking the questions and getting the mammograms and knowing

Thank you. Is there any other discussion? Council Member Alge?

Thank you, Madam Mayor Bertam. I want to echo my good friend and colleague, Council Member Russell, as well. I'm going to just divert for a second. So last month, I have a high PSA level. For the last couple of years, I had a prostate biopsy done last month. It came back benign. But we're still monitoring it, which is good news. But still, nonetheless, it's important to get screened because cancer sucks. So that's all I have. Thank you, Chris, for bringing this up.

Yeah, well, so I'll just say that I've had family members that have been affected by breast cancer, but I think it's a good month to remember. I think the NFL always shows us when we're watching football on Sundays at the crucial catch. And there's all the different colors now, different cancer screenings and cancer awareness that we can be aware of. So it's a good time for us just to remember that we should be making sure that we schedule our screenings with our health care providers just to make sure that we're catching these things early or before they start.

Thank you. Item C is a resolution declaring October 2026 as National Arts and Humanities Month in the City of Thornton, Colorado. And Councilmember Martinez would be introducing this item tonight.

Thank you. I'd like to introduce a resolution declaring October 2026 as National Arts and Humanities Month in the City of Thornton, Colorado, whereas the nation's 131,000-plus nonprofit arts, culture, and humanities organizations, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the nation's 4,500 local arts agencies, and the arts and humanities councils of the 50 states and the six U.S. jurisdictions have regularly issued annual proclamations designating October is National Arts and Humanities Month, and whereas the arts and humanities enhance and enrich the liv

The motion has been moved and seconded to approve the resolution. Is there any discussion? And Councilmember Martinez, you have the floor to go first.

Yeah, so I want to just recognize and thank all the people in our staff that make our city special when it comes to celebrating arts and culture. You know, I think that arts and culture is one of the defining characteristics of our city. You know, we don't have a long history going back to the mining towns of a lot of our peer cities. We don't have a downtown yet. And we don't have a lot of the things that some of our neighbors have. But one of the things that really stands out about Thornton and truly makes it special is our commitment to our events, our arts and culture, our public um art di

Thank you. Item 8 is audience participation. This is a time for members of the community to speak on any item that is not on the agenda as a public hearing or going to be a public hearing in the future. Pursuant to City Council rules of order and procedures, speaking time is limited to three minutes per person. With a one-hour limit on this segment of the agenda, in-person speakers will be heard first, followed by remote speakers registered before the end of the in-person comment segment. Residents of the City, as indicated on the sign-up sheet, will be given preference in the order heard firs

Okay. All right. So we'll call our first person to speak.

Thank you. Ms. Long, can you call the next speaker?

Thank you. Ms. Long, are there any other people who signed up to speak?

Okay. If you didn't know you had to sign up to speak tonight or if you didn't get a chance to sign up to speak, you can go ahead and speak now or you can raise your hand. We'll call you up to the podium. Okay, we'll move on to... Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see.

Can we have a member of staff follow up with this resident?

Is there anybody else who would like to speak? Okay, we'll move on to number eight, council comments and communication. And we'll start with ward one tonight with Council Member Martinez.

Thank you. So we've had quite a few things happen in the last few weeks. I think our Council will cover most of them. So I'm not going to go into too many things about what we did the last week. Just a couple of things. First, I want to thank our Thornton Police Department for all that they do to keep the community safe. We had a really horrific officer-involved shooting over the last couple days ago in Thornton. And, um, I just wanted to express my, um, you know, relief and sympathies to the officer who was involved in his family. It's a really horrific incident, and our public safety team do

Council Member Salazar? Good evening, everyone. As a council member, I get asked a lot about what keeps the city safe. People usually think the answer is just having more police cars on the street or building new fire stations. While those investments are critical, there are only half the equation. The other half is us, the community. I say us because I don't just support these programs from behind the dais. I speak from direct experience. I recently graduated from the Citizens Police Academy. Going through the program was an eye-opening experience. It reminded me firsthand why initiatives lik

Thank you, Madam Mayor Pro Tem. So Chief Baird spoke to us at the council update this evening with the good news that now I will, the officer, be is recovering at home, but also that the suspect is apprehended. So once again, great work by Thornton PD, and I always have your back, always. So great news, but still more work needs to be done for sure. Anyhow, it's been a busy three weeks, so I won't be too long tonight. I returned to Food for Hope and performed two volunteer shifts, and I also visited the annual bike and brew at Satire Brewing. A reminder that Food for Hope's annual Feed 5000 ca

Yes, thank you. I want to start tonight with something more light. I want to say thank you to our Parks and Rec staff, our volunteers, and everyone who came out for Harvest Fest at the community park. Events like that show what makes this city great and how the community can come together. I also want to thank our neighbors who came out yesterday to talk to us about the Aylor Open Space. They brought some great questions about long-term plans. They gave some honest feedback from the neighborhood adjacent to it. They raised concerns around some of the things that was going on as well. I'll be f

Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem. I'm not going to say much more about the Thornton Police Department. They know how I feel about them, and I'm glad that officer is safe. It takes a special person to put on a uniform every day and face these challenges. So thank you very much, Thornton PD. I'm just going to take a brief second. There was a mischaracterization of a quote bonus that our employees here in Thornton were receiving. It was described that council's rewarding its faithful servants as bonuses while vulnerable members of our community go without essential services. That may make for a clever th

Thank you. Good evening, residents and members of Council. It's been another great stretch of getting out into the community and connecting with our residents. Coincidentally, everything that I'll be talking about is in the lines of the police activities in the community, which is a running theme for this evening. So I had the opportunity to attend the Thornton Police Department's movie in the park, as well as Harvest Fest. Both were examples of how the city brings people together and creates opportunities for families to connect. And builds that sense of community in which we all thoroughly e

Good evening, everyone. I'd love to echo fellow council members. Thank you to our Thornton PD for the work you do every day. As we saw Sunday, any given day brings a variety of dangers for our officers. We're thankful for you, thankful for protecting our city, and we'll continue to support however we can. Yesterday, Councilmember Byrd and I were able to join a neighborhood meeting, as he mentioned, about some of the issues that residents next door to the Aylor Open Space and Nature Library have experienced. I just want to give a shout out to Bob and Kendrick from our parks team, who took the t

Thank you, Council, for your comments. The city is currently advertising for a building code advisory board, Ward 1. The deadline is October 26th at 5 p.m. For my comments tonight, I just also want to... You know put in a few words about the police officer that was shot and injured defending and supporting people in our community it takes a really special person to do that and It's thinking about it when I've seen You know are heard things in the police Offices about you know folks being shot on the job. It's to me. It sounds horrifying and and um i'm sure their families really stressed out an

Item 10A is a public hearing concerning ordinance approving a zoning amendment for approximately 55 acres of land generally located to the northeast and northwest corners of 88th Avenue and Welby Road, Welby Station. The public hearing is opened at 7.58. Erin Rogowski, Senior Planner, will present this item. Please state your name, address, and whether you have been sworn in. And if you have not, please respond to the clerk after she gives the oath.

Thank you. At this time, we'll take council questions. Council Member Martinez, you have a question?

yes my question is about the criteria for uh decide making decisions on zoning amendment proposals that you listed in the application the applicant listed as well so uh we've heard concerns from residents and in communication at the meetings and in in the documents we get in our packet about traffic, but I didn't see anything about traffic specifically in the criteria for making these rezoning decisions. And I know the council in years past have had traffic as a criteria, but I think it was for a different kind of decision. So could you provide a little bit of clarity as to where traffic impac

Councillor McSelzer. When these two meetings happen, do we know if there was always the same people, or were there different people that showed up to these neighborhood meetings?

And then my second question is, are there any endangered animals or birds on the property?

Yes, thank you. I appreciate the plans and stuff kind of ahead of time, knowing that it's going to come down the road. I did have one question regarding pedestrian kind of crossings and connections to neighboring areas. There's three schools within walking distance of this specific site. If you look at like a Google map image of the area, you can see that there's a clear kind of like. Path beaten into the grass and dirt for where everybody kind of walks through there. I'm just curious on if the development is going to continue to kind of help build that same kind of pathway and crossings in pl

Thank you, Madam Mayor Pro Tem. Thanks for the presentation. So look at the map. I see we have like two new traffic lights will be installed on Welby. And I do like the fact that the higher density will be towards the end line and away from Thornton Valley East and Catalina. But I do have a question. The green space in the middle, about how many acres is that? Can anybody answer that for me? There's a green strip in the middle, like,

Are there any other questions from Council? If there are no further questions from Council, I'll open up the hearing for public law.

Hey, Mayor Pro Tem, I clicked my button.

Oh, I'm sorry. There is, yep. Okay, Councilman Morris.

I did that right. I did have a question. For other TOD sites, for the applicant that you've developed, or similar sites, can you tell us about the commercial uses that are there now?

building commercial. I know that you have it potentially incorporated into the TOD site. Do you have the capability of building commercial, or is it just going to be a pad site available for another developer?

Have you identified anyone that might meet that criteria for you?

Yes, so we received an email that was placed here on the dice for us that came in sometime this afternoon. And in this email, they've provided some sections. Fairly well thought through, but what I'd like to make the request of they specifically point to 1 section section 5, which are some requests. So, the city would wouldn't mind our staff sharing. That with the applicant, uh, largely because I think most of those are reasonable and actually see a lot of those things being incorporated into a presentation. However, um. We don't there's no clarity on the timing and so, you know. There's 8 ask

He had specific questions for staff or the city attorney, so I did answer those and am in contact with the resident Okay, yeah, the questions were in section six the requests for the development were in section five So that's more the area that I'd like to focus on with those conversations sure.

Thank you Do you have any other questions from Council at this time I?

Are there any other questions from council? If there are no further questions from council, I'll open up the hearing for a public comment. Ms. Long, do we have anyone signed up to speak in favor or in opposition to the proposed development?

Thank you. In just a moment, each speaker will be given up to three minutes to speak. Make sure you watch the light on the podium. When it turns yellow, you will hear a single beep and you'll need to wrap up your comments. And when it turns red, you'll hear Multiple beeps and your time's up and I will have to interrupt you as your as your three minutes are over When you're called those those people who come to the podium and state your name address and whether you're sworn in for the record Those who indicated on the webinar registration. We don't have any on web, right? Correct all in person.

Second, please, our city attorney needs to chime in. You just name and address. Oh, I'm sorry. I just need your name and address and whether or not you were sworn in.

Ms. Long, can we please call the next person to the podium?

Ms. Long, can you please call the next speaker?

Ms. Long, can you please call the next speaker?

Ms. Long, are there any other speakers at this time? Is there anybody in the audience that didn't know they had to sign up to speak? Please come to the podium.

Thank you. Ms. Long, can you call the next speaker? Or actually, we have somebody else in the audience. Yes. You can come up to the podium. Be sure to state your name, your address, and whether or not you've been sworn in.

Thank you. Is there anybody else in the audience who wanted to speak? Does Council have any other further questions? Council Member Morris.

I did have a couple Questions, and maybe as a freshman councilman, I guess we'll call it. It's a great term. You know, as we're looking at a zoning approval, maybe for the city attorney, can we make a zoning approval conditional upon a few agreements or restrictions?

Well, let me talk through a couple ideas then. And I know that one of the big phrases in our code, and we mentioned it in the, or staff or the applicant mentioned it in the presentation, quote, as appropriate based on the immediate neighborhood context, end quote. And so based on that, I had, I guess, a couple questions or ideas I want to throw out to the council and see if there's something that we can potentially incorporate. For the area that is bordering the existing neighborhoods, can we look at limiting that area to one story within the 150 foot buffer area? Because what I noticed in tha

Okay, great. Can we discuss that? Four topics.

Got it. But the applicant does have to stay within those ranges that are showing right now, like 8 to 12 units per acre for the single-family detached and attached?

vote the voting process choose to designate a that number based on the stamp plan. And of course, I want to incorporate the applicant in this discussion too, if they think that they can say what that minimum number is.

Has it, and I'm sorry that these questions are coming up tonight. I know there's a lot here. Has it never been a part of a zoning approval process to add conditions to the approval where we designate certain things as a council?

Okay. I guess then the question would be to the applicant on those four things. Let's start with question number one. For the area bordering the existing neighborhoods, would you be willing to limit your height to one story along that adjacent neighborhood within that setback buffer?

Sure. Well, a similar topic for the remaining areas, limiting that to two stories to maintain that neighborhood context of the surrounding area.

What I'm trying to find here is a meaningful compromise to the concerns that the residents have brought up and also to try to accomplish the same mission of we understand it's TOD. We understand that there's the ability to increase density in some capacity, but it doesn't have to be all without our input and say. And I understand what the stamp says, and I understand that as a planning document, but ultimately we are city council, and we do have the ability At least my understanding is that we have the ability to set some of these parameters as part of the zoning, because right now the propert

may not be appropriate for whatever that future development is if that makes sense it does thank you um appreciate the feedback i appreciate you guys dialogue on dialoguing on this right now uh then the fourth question was uh if and maybe staff can remind me of the minimum percentage of green space open space that's required in any uh any development and then Based on that, the question is for us, do we do we have the ability to increase that percentage for the particular site as part of the rezoning?

Okay. So right now we don't have the ability to set something specific because we don't know what that number is, but would the applicant, does the applicant have an idea of what would make sense to include as part of this process based on preliminary plans? I know we're not touching on that, but I'm looking for if there is an agreement you can come to.

Thank you. First I want to say thank you to Sam Richeson from 8959 Monroe Street for sending this email. My question is about some of the figures that he pulled from the packet on the email, particularly about the traffic. So there's some figures on here. The summary is that several of these 88th and Colorado segments are rated already right now as E or, yeah, E level of service. So my my question is can you help me understand one is this data that we got in this email accurate and two you'll have to remind me what level is acceptable and how these traffic studies are how to interpret this dat

Thank you for clarifying that traffic data. That was my only question.

Thank you Are there any other questions from council? I have a few questions from the presentation, or the public speakers earlier. There seem to be a lot of questions about schools. Is there somebody who can address the capacity of the schools in the neighborhood of Mapleton?

Okay, and second question is there were questions are not questions, but comments on treaty protected birds Is there somebody who could speak to the wildlife situation in the area?

Okay. The other question was around how many people, kids, and parks. So specifically pointing to parks, is there any comment from the applicant about open space parks in the development.

Okay. Can I get a better explanation from Mapleton? You said 400 units.

We've already finished our public comment, and we had questions already, so we need to move on. Are there any further questions from Council? All right, I'm going to close the hearing at 9.19. I'll entertain a motion on item 10A.

All right. Thank you, Madam Mayor Pro Tem. Yes. I would like to introduce an ordinance approving a zoning amendment for approximately 55 acres of land, generally located on the northeast and northwest corners of East 88th Avenue and Welby Road, Welby Station. Whereas Westside Welby LLC is the owner, owner, and Hill Point LLC is the developer applicant of certain real property within the city known as Welby Station Subdivision and described, I'm sorry? Okay, gotcha. I stand agree, I'm gonna restart again, sorry about that. Thank you, Madam Mayor Pro Tem for the correction. I'd like to introduce

Approval of the ordinance in our first reading has been moved and seconded. Is there any discussion? Council Member Alge, you have the ability to go first.

Yes, thank you, Madam Mayor Pertem. I thank my neighbors who testified either for or against the Welby Station project this evening. So, you know, I understand the concerns that the neighborhoods have, but, you know, weighing the evidence not only of the applicant and also neighbors, I will be voting for and improving this project this evening, so that's all I have Is there any discussion from any other council members?

Clerk can you please pull the council council please cast your votes? Motion passed by a majority seven to one your honor Thank you number 11 is legislative hearings and And there are no legislative public hearings this evening. Staff reports. Item 12 is staff reports. Item 12A is the quarterly development update. Adam Kruger, Economic Development Director, will present this item.

Thank you Adam for the presentation. Just recently I was asked this, and it was about the Roadhouse in Larkridge. Do you have any, I know you've updated us on Viewhouse, so I'll ask you again. It's coming, you know, where we're at there, but the Texas Roadhouse, we haven't heard much on timelines around that, and was recently asked if you can share any information on that one.

Yes, thank you. So I have a couple of questions Adam. One is, I saw that you mentioned Avaya building as being one of the areas that's kind of difficult for us to kind of fill right now. Do we have anything that we're looking at for potentially the meaty building or the large space that's also right here at the Thornton Marketplace? I think it was like 65,000 square feet. It's a big one right next to Home Depot. Do we know of anything that's going in those currently?

Gotcha. Next question. The Strip Along Quebec, right there at 136,000, and then also at Highway 7. Looking at the active development map and seeing kind of what's going in there, I see a lot of things that are being proposed and kind of put there. I saw one of them, I think the Chick-fil-A is actually being built currently. Do we have any kind of ETA on some of the other plans that are coming through? Because I know that a few of them, well, most of them that are going through are going to be fast food, but I know that's going to be a big driver considering they're going to be between two high

Great, and then the last thing, in one of your first slides, you mentioned that restaurants for like a sit-down restaurant, equivalent to between four and five million, which is 4% of our general fund. When we look at our city as being the fifth largest in the state, compared to our neighboring cities, we rank extremely low when it comes to sit-down restaurants. We average 3.8 per 10,000 residents. with a sales per resident equaling about $749. For comparison, Westminster gets about 10 per 10,000 residents, and then they average about $2,037 per resident, which either tells me that they're spe

Thank you, Madam Mayor Pro Tem. Great job, as always, Adam, great presentation. Yeah, I mirror my colleague and more three, Council Member Byrd's comments as well. I know it's not because you're not trying, but I do like the fact we are using a multi-pronged approach. Yes, we need to bring these businesses in, well-paying jobs, because then that will sustain the hospitality of the restaurant business. So we are on the right track as far as bringing those businesses in to support these restaurants to come in and be open for lunch. Because, you know, especially since COVID, it's been a challenge

Thank you, thank you Okay item 13 is the consent calendar is there any member of council who would like to remove an item from the consent calendar? Okay, I don't want to remove an item But I just want to make sure that I recognize that we had three members of Tashko here that are being appointed on the consent calendar tonight Lori Boxer Kylie Yosa and Victoria Ramos. I'm going to ask maybe in our future planning session that we move the appointments to boards and commissions, maybe to the front presentations for those resolutions to be read, so that way folks that are here to get recognized

Approval of the consent calendar has presented and been moved and seconded. Clerk, can you please pull the council?

Number 14 is action items. We do have one action item being added by Council Member Byrd, and I'll go ahead and hand it over to Council Member Byrd to present the motion.

Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem. Under rule four, I would like to introduce a motion to request city manager present a report to council at the November 10th, 2026 council update on options to support Thornton police officers during high risk calls, including but not limited to drones and first responders and in-car cameras. The options already presented to the city and privacy, video retention and public engagement considerations from the April 14th, 2026 task list item. I further move that the council indicates majority support at the update, staff bring any needed agreement or supplemental appropr

The motion has been moved and seconded. Are there any discussion from Council? Council Member Bird, you have the option to go first since it's your motion.

Yes. Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem. Sunday night, one of our officers being shot was a very difficult time that kind of helps expedite and kind of push the need for this. The sad part is this isn't a one-time event. Since 2021, our officers have been involved in at least 11 shootings, and FBI data shows that more than 100 assaults on our officers have occurred from 2021 to 2025, eight of them involving firearms. That was before Sunday's event. This year we've seen a sharp increase in homicides and then also multiple bank robberies. Our neighboring cities are not waiting around. Just today, a local

Are there any other discussions? Clerk, can you please pull the Council over the motion on the floor?

Thank you. Being that there's no further, any other business, we can go ahead and move to adjourn the meeting. Thank you. At 10 o'clock.
