New Proposal Vacant Land at 100 and 150 S. Wadsworth

Back in January, I reported the city of Lakewood was considering a proposal to build a gas station on the empty lot at 150 S. Wadsworth Blvd, and way back in 2015 I wrote about a plan to build a short term nursing facility at 100 S. Wadsworth.

None of these proposal panned out, and the property appears to be back up for sale. Recently, however, a proposal has appeared on the city of Lakewood's planning cases page to subdivide the property into five pad sites.

I don't have any more details than this, but this sounds like a less than optimal idea-- I would much rather see one or two large buildings on this site that could hide parking behind them, and which would shield the Villas neighborhood behind them from Wadsworth traffic. Five pad sites would mean a higher ratio of parking to building, and a much more suburban (as opposed to downtown) feel.
