OF THE COUNTY OF JEFFERSON

Range 69 West
From: Planned Development

WHEREAS, Dutch Creek Partnership did file an application with the Planning Department of Jefferson County to rezone the herein described property in Jefferson County to amend the Planned Development Zone District; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Jefferson County Planning Commission on January 21, 1998, at which time the Planning Commission did, by formal resolution, recommend approval of the subject rezoning application conditioned on reducing the amount of retail use; and
WHEREAS, after notice as provided by law, public hearings were held by this Board on February 3, 1998; and

Page 2
1. That proper posting, publication and public notice was provided as required by law for the hearings before the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners of Jefferson County.
2. That the hearings before the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners were extensive and complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties were heard at those hearings.
3. That the proposal, as conditioned below, is in substantial conformance with the South Jefferson County Community Plan. Although the proposal will exceed the allowable amount of retail use at an arterial/arterial intersection, the evidence shows that there will be no adverse impact on traffic flow and the uses will be consistent with community needs.
4. The proposed land use is compatible with existing and allowable land uses in the surrounding area in all directions because the proposed written restrictions contain language which will require landscape buffering of the commercial development from dissimilar uses and the proposed development is in character with the type of commercial development typically located on Arterial/Arterial Intersections in south Jefferson County.
5. The subject property is located in the City of Littleton Fire Protection District and the subject property will also be served by Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District.
6. That no known commercial mineral deposits exist upon the subject property.
7. That for the above stated reasons, the applied for rezoning, as conditional below, is in the best interest of the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the residents of Jefferson County.
8. That each of the factors set forth above is adequate independently to support this resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Rezoning Application Case No. 97015210RZP1 to amend Jefferson County Zoning Map No. 15 to rezone the following described property in unincorporated area of Jefferson County from Planned Development to Planned Development Amended, be and hereby is APPROVED, subject to the following conditions:
CC98-075
