It’s not quite time to update Jefferson County’s comprehensive master plan, but the county planning and zoning department is thinking ahead and including the public in the process.
When it comes time to update the plan, will changes focus on a specific land use, such as housing or commercial centers? Or will there be a focus on a specific geographic area like South Plains Area Plan, which covers South Jeffco, or the Evergreen Area Community Plan or the Conifer/285 Corridor Community Plan?
The comprehensive plan, an advisory document offering a vision for future development in the county, was last updated in 2010. Jeffco aims to update it every 10 years, so an update is forthcoming in the next year or two. In preparation for this, the county is hosting a series of informational community meetings to engage the public.
“The goal of this meeting is really two-fold,” said planner Heather Gutherless, of a community meeting held last Thursday at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office South Precinct. “We’re doing education. And then the second part of it is to get feedback on what we should update next.”
Want to go? The final open house will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 13, in training rooms A and B at Evergreen Fire/Rescue's Administration Building, 1802 Bergen Parkway in Evergreen.
