612 24th Street Revised Site Plan

The Planning Commission of the City of Golden held a Public Hearing at a meeting on Wednesday, October 2, 2019 at 6:30 P.M. in the City Hall Council Chambers, 911 10th Street, Golden, Colorado to review changes to a previously approved site plan for an affordable apartment project located at 612 24th Street. The proposed changes serve to reduce the scale of the project and, therefore, do not trigger a new Chapter 18.40 zoning review process. However, due to the level of interest in this project, staff and the applicant will be taking the revised plans back to Planning Commission for a courtesy review and for public comment.

APPLICANT: Jefferson County Housing Authority

LOCATION: 612 24th Street

The changes to the approved site plan are as follows:

· Number of residential units reduced from 51 to 44

· All required parking now provided entirely on site

· Reduction of building mass on west (Jackson Street) side

· Increased ground level open space and outdoor use area

The neighborhood meeting at 1950 Ford was held on Tuesday, August 27, 2019. The meeting was well attended and had lively discussion among attendees. The applicant will take the information collected from the meeting into consideration when formally submitting for plan review if they choose to do so.

The next steps for the applicant if they choose to move forward would be submittal for a formal site plan review, project review by staff, and a Planning Commission final decision.

The City of Golden Planning Division has received notice of a potential submittal for a Site Plan Review application for a commercial development on the property located at 1950 Ford St. The applicant is proposing to continue to use the former chapel building as office space and develop the adjacent empty lot that extends to Jackson Street.

It is important to note that this meeting is not a hearing. It’s your chance to hear what is being proposed, provide feedback and ask questions in the context of an informal meeting hosted by the applicant. If the applicant chooses to move forward with the site plan process, the Planning Commission hearing will be scheduled for a later date.
