Central Plains Community Plan
The Central Plains Planning Area consists of unincorporated portions of east central Jefferson County, located mostly between Highway 58 and U.S. 6, including the 6th Avenue Area neighborhoods, and surrounded by the incorporated cities of Golden, Wheat Ridge, and Lakewood. Settlement patterns reflect how the 1800 town of Golden and mid-1900s cities of Wheat Ridge and Lakewood expanded after World War II. The unincorporated communities of Pleasant View, Applewood, and Wide Acres compose the majority of the planning area.

This Plan is a guide for land use decisions made by Jefferson County Planning and Zoning staff, the Planning Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners. The recommendations in this Plan were formulated to address concerns and suggestions expressed by citizens.
Three community meetings to gather thoughts and input were held in the Wide acres/Welchester area, Applewood area, and the 6th Avenue area. Public open houses to review drafts were held along with workshops to determine recommendations for residential densities, South Golden Road, and Geologic Hazards. Additionally, the county worked closely with the homeowner associations throughout the planning process. The Plan was adopted as a final plan on July 28, 2004 by the Planning Commission.
