Event Schedule

Jefferson County Open Space (JCOS) will host a community meeting on February 7, 6 to 7 p.m. in the Golden Community Center to discuss their proposal to install gates on Lookout Mountain Road that would automatically close, limiting vehicle access during park closure hours and significant snow events.

Mobility data, interactions with law enforcement, trash, and significant property damage all show that the posted park hours aren’t being followed. In fact, the area is busier at midnight than it is at 10 a.m. on weekends. This creates a safety risk and threatens Lookout Mountain’s important natural and cultural features.

A 15 to 20 minute presentation will be followed by a Q & A session.

The Golden Planning Commission affords residents the opportunity to actively participate in the planning of the city and its welfare; to learn all facets of the regulations governing such functions; interact with a wide variety of citizens participating in the shaping of Golden’s future; and assume an active role in any regulation changes involving zoning and subdivision activity.

Planning Commission meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m., unless otherwise noted on the calendar.
