The Town of Buena Vista itself is planning to remodel the current building at 28362 CR 317 into a police station. This application entails one distinct application and review process:
Major site plan review - required for a building of this type and size
While this is an existing building, our code requires that any alterations to buildings over 10,000 square feet that increase the intensity of the use, the building height, or changes to parking are required to pursue a major site plan approval, which requires a public hearing before the Planning & Zoning Commission.
This case will not also require a Public Improvements Agreement to be approved by the Board of Trustees.

Staff Review & Referral Agency Comments

Staff review the application materials, ensure they fully and accurately represent the proposed project, and then send the relevant application materials out to over 20 referral agencies for comment.
These agencies include Sangre de Cristo Electric, Atmos Energy, the Buena Vista School District, and many more parties. Each party is given approximately 3 weeks to review the application and provide comment.
Comments can include things like special considerations from that party's perspective, notes on infrastructure or easements needed for the project, or other questions and concerns for the applicant and staff to consider.
Applicant Comment Response & Resubmittal
Police Station Major Site Plan has finished this stage
The staff review comments and referral agency comments are compiled and sorted through. If there are items that the applicant needs to address, these comments are sent back to the applicant along with detailed instructions on what to address.
The applicant is now responsible for resubmitting all requested materials that address the comments raised.
No further work will be done on this application while the Town staff await the applicant's resubmittal.
Applicants have 6 months within which to provide a complete response and resubmittal. If they fail to do so in this time frame, their applications will be abandoned and they will need to start over with a fresh application (and fees).

Applicants resubmit complete materials addressing all of the comments provided on their application(s). Staff then works to review the resubmittal and ensure it addresses all comments.

Board of Trustees (public improvement agreements, major subdivisions, rezoning, annexations, and more)
