The proposal to rezone the
lot at 10th & Xenon for a large, commercial, memory care
facility faces its first hearing this Wednesday, Nov. 18,
at 6:15 pm at the Taj Mahal. Please attend the hearing. Just
being there is important, but you will also have an opportunity
to testify. As usual, your testimony is limited to three minutes.
You may display visuals during your testimony. It's easiest
to bring a paper printout of the visual, but you may bring
a computer and plug it in (a VGA or HDMI connection is required.)
There is additional information about the proposal and links
to key documents below on this page to help with your presentation.
Just a friendly reminder that decorum is important at these
meetings. The Planning Commission is made up of volunteers
who take their responsibilities very seriously and spend a
great deal of their time to understand the issues. The members
of the Planning Commission are not the enemy; they are just
doing their job. It's okay to show emotion during your testimony,
but please do so respectfully.
Jefferson County Planning Commission Hearing
Date: Wednesday, Nov. 18
Time: 6:15 pm
Place: Taj Mahal (Jefferson County Admin Bldg/Courthouse
-
100 Jefferson County Pkwy, Golden)
The hearing will consist of a presentation of up to 20 minutes
by the county planning staff, followed by a 20-minute presentation
by the developer. Then comes public testimony. The commissioners
are expected to vote that night. There will be two votes.
One vote will be whether to support or reject an exception
to the Comprehensive Master Plan. The CMP designates our neighborhood
to remain residential, so the commissioners must decide whether
an exception to the plan is appropriate for this use. The
second vote is on the rezoning.
The votes by the Planning Commission are recommendations
to the County Commissioners. After the proposal is considered
by the Planning Commission, it will then be considered by
the Jefferson County Commissioners on Tuesday, December 8th,
at 8 am. The commissioners will make a final decision on the
rezoning at that meeting. Please plan to attend.
