REDEVELOPMENT REVIEW: A Boulder developer is moving ahead to resubmit a concept proposal to redevelop the dormant Army Reserve Training Center at 4640 Table Mesa Drive in South Boulder.Local developer Peter Stainton has proposed a variety of residential housing types on the 4.7 acre site, including row houses, duplexes and single-family homes totaling 43 units. The units would be accessed off of Table Mesa and Tantra drives. The proposal would require a rezoning from low-density residential to medium-density residential. Stainton submitted a similar concept plan with 40 units in 2006 with access off of Table Mesa Drive. At its review in early 2007, Boulder Planning Board did not support the proposal and suggested creating a concept plan that provided access from Tantra Drive.
