1001 W. Oak Site Plan MOD, 22182
Building Information and Project Description:
We are proposing a building to be constructed on an existing Pad Site D located at the corner of Oak
Street and N 11th Ave. The proposed building is 2 Stories consisting of a primary brick volume and
corner entry volumes clad in metal panels. The main level is 8,060 SF and the second level is 7,758 SF.
Proposed are two entrances. The main NE corner entrance leads to an open staircase upstairs to the
Braxton Development Office. The main level entrances allow for 1 or 2 tenant spaces. A second level
outdoor deck has been designed over the main building entry to take advantage of the excellent views
of the Bridger Mountains and of the rest of the development while also nodding to the outdoor decks
featured on the other buildings. Entitlements for the site have already been approved through MOD
22182 and the following are currently under construction.
- Parking Lots
- Parking Lot Landscaping
- Right of Way Sidewalks
- Dumpster Enclosures.
- Stormwater System
Zoning Information can be found on the Cover Sheet.
Informal Review Planning Comments and Response:
Ref. #24 : Elevations and floor plans that appear to have been approved through the PUD for building
D at 1001 Oak have been uploaded to the city documents and staff reports folder. Staff is working to
determine if a MOD to or withdrawal from the PUD is required, or if plans may proceed as-is. A
discussion Board post will be used to notify applicants of the determination.
Per email from Claire Morrison on April 25, 2023 (attached in documents) – “A MOD will not be
required…” and “Standards such as the high visibility street corner and block frontage will not need to
be met.”
The proposed building differs slightly from the original PUD suggested design from 2001 yet contributes
to the existing character of the development. The proposed building utilizes similar building materials

including brick and quality metals. Transparency is similar in quantity and quality to the original
proposed PUD design. The building massing remains in line with the originally proposed plans submitted
with the PUD (proposed is slightly smaller in footprint and square footage).
This design plays off similar design elements including lower volumes accentuated with a building
parapet roofline that is set back from the main entry and pedestrian volumes. We have maintained two
entrances in similar locations to the originally proposed design, offering similar access and experience to
the end user of the building and maintain the same connections to the overall site and neighboring
buildings.
