C-470 Corridor Plan
A 1999 Jefferson Economic Council (JEC) study revealed that only 4,000 acres of developable commercial and industrial land remained within Jefferson County. The Jefferson County Planning Commission directed JEC and the Planning and Zoning Division to write Land Development Policies to remedy this shortage. Policies drafted by staff were approved by the Planning Commission in 2001 and incorporated into the county's Policy and Procedures Manual in 2002 by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC).

In 2001, the Planning Commission and the BCC directed staff to develop a plan for the C-470 corridor to identify and designate locations for employment-generating land uses.

Three prime locations for employment-generating land uses along the C-470 corridor were identified: Bowles, Belleview and Ken-Caryl. A consultant was hired to work with the landowners to develop a first draft of recommended land uses for the Bowles Area. Two public open houses were held, and the community's concerns were used to modify the original land uses proposed for the Bowles Area Map and develop the C-470 Corridor Plan. Land use maps were created for the Ken-Caryl and Belleview areas and modified through discussions with the major landowners and the public.

The three subarea land use maps were revised, and the Interim C-470 Corridor Plan was adopted by the Planning Commission on August 28, 2002 and as a final plan on December 18, 2002.
