The Edwards RiverPark developer is asking our county commissioners to blatantly ignore the 2017 Edwards Area Community Plan and Eagle County land use regulations and approve a 540-unit development.
If this land was economically viable to develop in accordance with the EACP, it would have likely been purchased by a local developer. Instead, this developer from Denver purchased the land and apparently did not do the research, due diligence, or an economic feasibility study based on the EACP goals.
Edwards RiverPark is not in substantial conformance with the EACP which state clear goals for Edwards in terms of sustainable traffic, workforce housing, resource protection of wildlife habitat, and limiting the adverse impact on adjacent properties of light and noise pollution. It also lacks a safe pedestrian connection with the Edwards core and is not compatible with surrounding land uses.
