Changes are proposed by Forest City Stapleton to the North Stapleton General Development Plan (GDP) originally approved in 2007.  The proposed changes are the 2^nd major amendment to the GDP.  The GDP boundaries are approximately I-70 on the south, 56^th  Avenue on the north, Dallas Street on the east and Spruce Street on the west.  Forest City Stapleton indicates that the amount of residential development area and trunk open space has remained the same. The proposed changes include:

• Retail land uses are proposed to become Multi-family land uses south of Northfield Boulevard to 47^th Avenue between Willow Street and Central Park Boulevard
• The locations of the regional recreation area and the proposed high school are moved from 56^th Avenue and Spruce Street to 56^th Avenue and Central Park Boulevard
• A portion of the regional recreation area is moved north of 56^th Avenue and connected to the southern regional recreation area by a pedestrian underpass
• The median between 51^st and 53^rd Avenues is increased with more Trunk Open Space
