DESIGN REVIEW BOARD Business Item IV.C
COMMUNICATION The Boulevard (PZ-26-0054)
To: Design Review Board Members
From: Randy Proch, Planning & Community Development Director
Meeting Date: 10/1/2026
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
MOVE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE PROPOSED
THREE-STORY COMMERCIAL BUILDING 'THE BOULEVARD', FILE NO. PZ-26-0054, SUBJECT TO
THE EXHIBITS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT AND STIPULATIONS 1 AND 2.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The proposal is to build a new three-story 6,952 square foot commercial building within the
existing parking lot located at the northwest corner of Old Litchfield Road and Wigwam
Boulevard, known as the Tierra Verde Shopping Center. The location would be known as "170
W. Wigwam Boulevard" and is zoned NC PD.
The applicant has separately brought forward and received recommendation from the Design
Review Board for another building within the site to the north, known as The Venue. That
project, along with this project, requires rezoning the entire parcel to City Center (CTR) to
match the remainder of the downtown parcels. The rezoning will create the avenue for the
decreased setbacks, parking requirements, and building heights. As presented, the project does
not comply with any current Neighborhood Commercial standards. The current proposal, The
Boulevard, would not impact the adjacent efforts to create the updated fire lane. It should also
be noted that the proposed third story is not supported within CTR, due to the proximity to
Wigwam Boulevard. Any projects within 150 feet of the right-of-way are restricted to two
stories to reduce overbearing onto the adjacent residential homes. Through the Development
Agreement and Council action, an increased height may be considered as part of the action.
The proposed architecture is consistent with the CTR standards found within Litchfield Square,
with some concerns along the northern facade that will be discussed as part of the
presentation. Staff is advancing this proposal to the DRB under the Enhanced Track for
recommendation and has not received any public comments on this proposal.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests that the Design Review Board take the following action:
Recommend approval to the Zoning Administrator, subject to the exhibits provided by the
applicant and stipulation 1. and 2.

1. Staff approval cannot occur until the property has been rezoned to City Center (CTR)
zoning district.
2. Recommendation to the Zoning Administrator will be brought forward to the City
Council for final approval, pending the CTR rezoning.
