Commissioner Stone moved that the following Resolution be adopted:
BEFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OF THE COUNTY OF JEFFERSON
STATE OF COLORADO
RESOLUTION NO. CC98-407
From: Planned Development
To: Planned Development Amended
Purpose: To allow expansion to an existing
medical/dental office
Approximate Area: 1.1 Acre
WHEREAS, J. Douglas Wilson and Linda L. Wilson did file an application with the Planning Department of Jefferson County to rezone the herein described property in Jefferson County from Planned Development Zone District to Planned Development Amended Zone District; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Jefferson County Planning Commission on June 10, 1998, at which time the Planning Commission did, by formal resolution, recommend approval of the subject rezoning application with conditions; and
WHEREAS, after notice as provided by law, a public hearing was held by this Board on June 30, 1998; and
WHEREAS, based on the study of the Comprehensive Plan, recommendations of the Jefferson County Planning Commission, comments of the Jefferson County Planning Department, comments of public officials and agencies, and testimony and written comments from all interested parties, this Board finds as follows:
1. That proper posting, publication and public notice were 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 Conifer/285 Corridor Area Community Plan because it meets the Plan's recommendations concerning commercial and activity centers, open space, wildlife, visual resources, hazards, public facilities, services, air, odor and noise. The proposal does not meet the Plan's recommendations regarding water and sanitation because the use exceeds the recommended amount of water consumption. However, the medical/dental center use is already in place and this proposal will not increase the amount of water usage. The Division of Water Resources has approved a well, and the Jefferson County Health Department has recommended approval.
4. The proposed land use is compatible with existing and allowable land uses in the surrounding area in all directions because the property to the south and east are developed with commercial uses. The primary access to the site is oriented away from residential areas to the west and north. Measures have been taken to mitigate any impacts on the adjacent residential properties through written restrictions on building heights; architectural treatment of building exteriors; landscape buffering; screening of trash and limitations on site lighting and signage.
5. The subject property is served by the Elk Creek Fire Protection District. The subject property will also be served by individual well and the Conifer Sewer Association, a private sewer district.
6. That no known commercial mineral deposits exist upon the subject property.
7. That for the above stated reasons, the applied for rezoning 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. 97015229RZP1 to amend Jefferson County Zoning Map No. 182 to rezone the Planned Development Zone District to Planned Development Amended Zone District for the following described unincorporated area of Jefferson County, be and hereby is APPROVED, subject to the following conditions:
1. Revisions to the Official Development Plan in accordance with the red-marked print dated 5/27/98.
