RE:Apex Zenith/Momentum—Development Agreement Modification
Dear Mr. Hood:
Brighton is pleased to submit the enclosed application for the modification to the recorded
development agreement 2025-010344, which describes how the area southeast corner of
Meridian and Lake Hazel Roads will develop.
PROJECT HISTORY
The parcels within the development agreement were annexed into the City in 2016 with a city
initiated mass annexation effort (H-2015-0016). Earlier this year, the project was rezoned from
R-4 to C-G in preparation for this and future applications (H-2024-0052). During the rezone, this
development agreement was also put into place.
Road and landscape improvements are underway in the area. A final plat has been provided for
the most northwestern area, and the retail anchor has begun construction of their building.
Further subdivision efforts are underway for the remaining areas.
APPLICATION SUMMARY
The Director is the recommending body, and City Council is the decision-making body for this
Development Agreement Modification application.
THE APPLICATION IN DETAIL

This development agreement encompasses 141.66 acres of land, which include the following
parcels: S1406223040,S1406212410,S1406233610,S1406223020,S1406223042,S1406223045,

LANDSCAPING
The current Development Agreement requires landscaping to be completed in full along
Meridian Road, a portion of Aristocrat Drive, and a portion of Optima View Avenue, as shown in
green, below. These improvements were required with the "first step" of Apex Zenith. The first
step included annexation, rezone, and the subject Development Agreement.
At the time, the roadways were not associated with an adjacent plat, and therefore subject to
being completed with the first plat (Apex Zenith). Plans are now underway to submit the
remaining portion of the development agreement area with a pre-plat called Momentum
Subdivision. We request that the additional landscaping be completed with that development,
to avoid installing and potentially damaging or ripping out improved landscape areas.

TIMING
The completion of the landscaping improvements will be based on future platting and phasing.
It is our goal to have these items complete in a manner that is paced with construction and
platting. We will install all of these buffers prior to any occupancy of buildings that are adjacent
to buffer areas and/or in associated plats.

IN CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing, as supported by the accompanying applications and documentation,
we request a recommendation of approval for the Development Agreement Modification.
If you or your staff have questions, or require additional information, please let me know for
expedited response.
For Brighton et al,
Amanda McNutt
Director of Entitlement
