RESOLUTION NO. CC98-569

Case No. 97015243RZP1 Map No. 15

Applicant: Standish and Christine Penton

Location: 5200 West Coal Mine Avenue

Section 25, Township 5 South,

Range 69 West

From: Residential-One A

To: Planned Development

Purpose: Rezoning to legalize and allow

for an expansion to the existing

equestrian facility and to allow

single family residential uses

Approximate Area: 3.84 acres

WHEREAS, Standish and Christine Penton did file an application with the Planning Department of Jefferson County to rezone the herein described property in Jefferson County from Residential-One A Zone District to Planned Development Zone District; and

WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Jefferson County Planning Commission on September 16, 1998 at which time the Planning Commission did, by formal resolution, recommend approval of the subject rezoning application; and

WHEREAS, after notice as provided by law, a public hearing was held by this Board on October 6, 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 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 because the proposed planned development will improve the overall appearance of the site with consolidation of equestrian facilities and conversion of the outdoor arena to an indoor facility. The operations serve a specialized community need and provides unique employment opportunities related to the operations of the equestrian services. Through careful attention to the design of the new equestrian center, the facility should be a compatible structure to surrounding development. There are no environmental concerns created by the proposed use and there is no significant impact to West Coal Mine Avenue.

4. The proposed land uses already exist on the site and the property has been used for the identified uses for a considerable amount of time. The redevelopment of the site will lessen the number of buildings used for equestrian activities. There will not be any significant traffic generated on the site in addition to what currently exists, except during a limited number of public shows. Activities will be shifted from outside stalls and an outside area to one modern building enclosing both the stables and arena activities on the property. Moving the equestrian facilities into one structure close to West Coal Mine Avenue also creates more physical separation of allowed activities from nearby residential development to the south and east sides of the property.

5. The subject property is served by City of Littleton Fire Protection District. The subject property will also be served by Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District(water only)and by individual septic system.

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. 97015243RZP1 to amend Jefferson County Zoning Map No.15 to rezone the Residential-One A Zone District to Planned Development Zone District for the following described unincorporated area of Jefferson County, be and hereby is APPROVED subject to the following conditions:
