This is a one-of-a-kind property. It was built as a kennel with 71 indoor/outdoor runs in 1967 and has existed as a kennel and groomer
with the same operator ever since. The serene 1.34-acre creek-side
property is an idyllic setting for the use. This property presents a rare
opportunity for a kennel operator to fill a need on the Westside.
Because of the historic use and building design, the obvious user is a
kennel. However, this is 1.34 acres of prime Westside property with easy access to Highway 24 and Old Colorado City.
The property is on a well, which was re-drilled and metered in 2012, and septic system, which was just pumped and inspected. City Planning and Utilities have indicated the continued use of these facilities will be permitted as long as they remain functioning.
It is absolutely possible to expand on the property improvements. Hurdles to redevelopment and expansion include platting, development plan, and the streamside overlay, which limits impervious surfaces over the (almost) half of the property closest to Fountain Creek.
