Two residential developments on commissioners' agenda for a vote Tues August 14

Jefferson County commissioners are expected to vote Tuesday on whether to allow two residential development proposals in Evergreen — one for 70 homes behind the Evergreen Safeway and the other for 100 multifamily units in El Rancho.

The proposal for property behind Safeway that runs north to Bank of the West would rezone 12.5 acres from Commercial 1 to Planned Development. The development would be called Pinecrest Mountain Village.

The other is a proposal to amend the Planned Development zoning for seven acres at Swede Gulch and El Rancho roads for 100 multifamily units.

Jeffco could rehear housing proposal

More than six months after denying a proposal for 100 multifamily units near El Rancho, it appears as though the Jeffco commissioners are going to allow a rehearing for the Village at Elk Rest Meadows.

Initially, the developers wanted to amend the planned development zoning on seven acres at Swede Gulch and El Rancho roads to allow 100 multifamily units. The applicant, PIII Swede Gulch LLC, is now proposing 65 multifamily units instead of the original 100.

Developers meet with community on El Rancho rezoning case

Dozens of El Rancho community members filled a room at Evergreen Country Day School on May 1 to share their frustration with Jefferson County and developers over a high-density development plan for their neighborhood.

Moreover, they’re discouraged by the fact that they’re going through the process again less than 10 months after their protests helped kill the project.

Despite this, Travis McAvoos of PIII Swede Gulch LLC said he, too, was frustrated with the process. Though a community meeting isn’t required during the rehearing process, the commissioners requested that McAvoos host one.

Mostly, he spent time tossing out ideas to see what might be amenable for El Rancho residents.

Jeffco commissioners deny Village at Elk Rest Meadows

The Jefferson County commissioners have for a second time unanimously denied a proposal to put 65 multifamily units on 7 acres in the El Rancho area, citing concerns about water and fire as well as the removal of commercial uses from the zoning.

The 65-unit plan, which was recommended for approval several weeks ago by the Planning Commission and supported by planning staff, was strongly opposed by the community. The updated proposal, which was originally denied in August 2018, was a reduction from the initial proposal of 100 units. Because of the substantial change, the commissioners last March granted the team a rehearing.

The commissioners were put off by the community’s lack of interest in affordable housing options.
