Conifer / 285 Corridor Area Community Plan
The Conifer/285 Corridor Area Community Plan, Part I and Part II, was adopted by the Planning Commission as an interim plan August 7, 2002 and as a final plan on September 3, 2003.

An amendment to the Housing Density Summary chart and associated language changes in the Hazards and Housing chapters was adopted by the Planning Commission on October 1, 2008.

This Plan was produced by the citizens of Conifer, Aspen Park and Pine, and the areas along and within the 285 Corridor, and the Jefferson County Planning & Zoning Division.

The Conifer/285 Corridor Area Community Plan encompasses a large and diverse community in the south mountain area of Jefferson County. This Plan contains policies that will be used by the Jefferson County Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners as a guide in making land use decisions. The recommendations are not mandatory, however, they do carry the weight of the community's desires for the quality, type, amount and location of future
development.

The original Conifer/285 Corridor Area Community Plan was adopted by the Jefferson County Planning Commission on July 8, 1987. The current Plan update started as a grass roots effort by a group of community members, which evolved into the Coordinating Committee with the encouragement and support of Jefferson County staff. From the first public meeting attendees, three Interest Groups were formed: Open Space, Development, and Water-sanitation- Air-Hazards.

The Interest Groups and Coordinating Committee included homeowners, business owners, developers, realtors, environmentalists, planners, representatives from several community organizations, and those with expertise in different areas of the Plan. Public meetings were held on three occasions to solicit citizen ideas, which were used to formulate recommendations. Plan recommendations were presented in a public hearing to the Jefferson County Planning Commission for adoption.
