City Suing County – To Be Heard in District Court on Jan. 22, 2016 – In Littleton
The City of Littleton is suing Corban Sakdol, Arapahoe County
Assessor, over the makeup of the city s Santa Fe Urban Renewal Area.
In 2010 the state legislature put strict limitations on blighting
agricultural land and including that land in urban renewal areas
because of what the legislature considered to be abuses of urban renewal by
cities in Colorado. The Santa Fe Urban Renewal Plan includes a
substantial amount of agricultural land, mainly south of Mineral
between Santa Fe Drive and the South Platte River – the so called
Ensor property. The assessor has determined, as required by state law,
that the inclusion of the agricultural land in the urban renewal
plan does not conform to state law. The city of Littleton is suing Corban
Sakdol to overturn his decision. That trial starts at 8:45 AM this
Friday, Jan 22, 2016, at 1790 W Littleton Blvd., court C-1.
The Ensor property sprang into the news last October 2015 when the
Villager Newspaper ran a story quoting council member Debbie
Brinkman as saying a Wal-Mart and Sam s Club were coming to
Littleton on that property. The City Council created the Santa Fe
Urban Renewal Plan in November 2014 in order to provide incentives for the
development of the Ensor property, and the City Manager
announced 2 weeks ago the property was under contract to a
developer. This trial will determine whether that property can
remain in the urban renewal plan and therefore receive millions in incentives
through urban renewal.
