Parcels 1 & 7
Parcel 1 and Parcel 7
The two areas of the 1998 Crismark planned development that correspond, at least in part, to the land now under construction. The central research question is what approvals authorized townhomes on land designated for office and commercial use.
Parcel 1 — commercial and office
- 1998 designationDocumented Fact
- Commercial and office. A commercial site with a grocery store was permitted; other uses were limited to those permitted in the B-2 or Office districts.
- SUP-98-010, Condition D.1, p. 3 — open source document
“Limited to commercial and office uses. A commercial site with a grocery store is permitted but the remaining uses must be limited to those found in the list of permitted uses for B-2 or Office.”
- SUP-98-010, Condition D.1, p. 3 — open source document
- Excluded from the density limitDocumented Fact
- The permit's overall density cap of 2.6 units per acre was calculated excluding Parcel 1.
- SUP-98-010, Condition A, p. 3 — open source document
“EXCLUDING PARCEL 1(COMMERCIAL.OFFICE)”
- SUP-98-010, Condition A, p. 3 — open source document
- Buffer conditionsDocumented Fact
- A 12-foot existing tree line against residentially zoned property, a berm at least 6 feet high, and planting requirements, with an alternative along the northern property line.
- AcreageUnanswered Question
- Not stated in the recorded permit pages.
- Current zoningDocumented Fact
- Town staff describe the property as zoned Multi-Family Residential (MFR) since December 29, 2018. Which current tax parcel contains the former Parcel 1 is not stated in the records.
- Current or proposed developmentAnalysis
- The records describe townhomes on the "front" land nearer Idlewild Road (the Town's project 20240083, called “Copper Station”), but none of them identifies that land as the former Parcel 1.
The 1998 permit set Parcel 1 aside for commercial and office use, with buffers against the neighboring homes. In May 2024 the Town Manager listed "Interest in seeing a grocery store on the frontage at Idlewild" among the topics discussed with the HOA president.

Parcel 7 — multi-family
- 1998 designationDocumented Fact
- Multi-family, no more than 150 units on a 15.0-acre tract.
- SUP-98-010, Condition “B. Multi-Family known as Parcel 7”, p. 3 — open source document
“Multi-family which will be limited to but not to exceed a 150 units limited to 15.0 acre tract.”
- SUP-98-010, Condition “B. Multi-Family known as Parcel 7”, p. 3 — open source document
- Separate amenitiesDocumented Fact
- The permit required a separate amenity package for the Parcel 7 community, with sidewalks and streetlights inside the parcel and an evergreen hedge along Parcel 6 and Red Lantern.
- SUP-98-010, p. 3 — open source document
“Provide separate amenity package for this community as well as sidewalks and streetlights interior to parcel 7 through out the multi-family development.”
- SUP-98-010, p. 3 — open source document
- Counted in the density limitDocumented Fact
- The overall density cap of 2.6 units per acre included Parcel 7.
- Current proposalDocumented Fact
- In 2024 the Town said 150 units were proposed on the same land that was Parcel 7. A 2024–2025 condo project on Crismark Drive is project 2024-0083 (“Crossgate”).
- Town records, part 3, p. 24 — open source document
“150 units on what was then Parcel 7 (Approximately 15 acres), which is the same land they are proposing the 150 units on currently”
- Town records, part 2, p. 13 — open source document
- Town records, part 3, p. 24 — open source document
- Total units across both sitesUnanswered Question
- The HOA president has written of about 370 townhome and condo units in total. No Town record obtained confirms or denies that figure.
Parcel 7 was approved in 1998 as a separate multi-family community. The permit's requirement of a "separate amenity package" for it is a zoning condition. It shows the Town expected Parcel 7 to have its own amenities, but it does not say whether the Crismark CC&Rs, recorded later, cover the land.
