The zoning code rewrite consultants are making the finishing touches to the initial code draft and it will be available to the public in late January. You are invited to join a virtual community meeting on Jan. 28 from 6 to 8 p.m. This meeting is intended to educate the community on the code’s contents and how it has been constructed. Upon the release of the draft, the community will have approximately one month to review it, make comments, and provide those comments to the Planning Division and the consultants for consideration.

In an ongoing effort to address the visitation pressure on our park system, Jefferson County Open Space is currently updating the access and trailheads component of the South Table Mountain Park Plan. This plan proposes a new main trailhead at Denver West and improvements to access points on Golden Hills Road and Rimrock Drive. As part of the ongoing public engagement about these potential improvements, Jefferson County Open Space held a stakeholder listening tour this spring and a virtual community meeting on April 8. The community meeting kicked off a 30-day public comment period to solicit feedback on proposed plans.
For the next step in these efforts, Jefferson County Open Space and the City of Golden will be co-hosting a virtual community meeting on June 22 at 6 p.m. to discuss design alternatives for the access points at the Rimrock Drive and Golden Hills Road locations. Additionally the meeting will present and seek feedback on alternatives for pedestrian and multimodal improvements to Rimrock Drive. Please register online in advance for the meeting.
