The next Conifer Plan update meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, February 3, 2015. It will be at the Conifer Community Church, 9998 S. Havekost Road in the Fellowship Hall. The meeting starts at 6:30pm. Future meetings have also been scheduled for every 1st Tuesday of the month until July.

This will be a fun meeting! We will get into the land use recommendations by looking at the Village Centers – the current land use recommendations and some ideas for potential changes in those areas. Village Centers are areas where more intense development, such as commercial or higher density residential, is appropriate. In the Conifer Area Plan, there are currently two Village Centers – the Aspen Park/Conifer Village Center and the Pine Junction Village Center.

Attached are maps of the centers, so that you can get an idea of their locations and existing Plan recommendations. The purple outline with the numbers are the current Plan recommendations. The black line in the Conifer Plan boundary line. This information is overlaid on top of the parcel lines and assessor’s information on current land uses. As a note, the current land uses do not indicate current zoning (i.e. potential uses), but how the land is currently used. I will have that information and other maps showing various features in each village center on-line next week and also at the February 3rd meeting.

At the meeting, Staff will give a brief overview of what Village Centers are and the goals behind designating these Centers. Then Staff has some ideas for potential changes that we will share at the meeting, but they are just ideas at this point. We want to hear from the community before making any changes in the first draft of the revised Conifer Plan. Staff’s proposed changes will also be posted on-line closer to the meeting and, as always, you are welcome to send or email me your comments.

Thanks!
