Zoning issues at the Fremont County Airport highlight the agenda for the June 3rd meeting of the Fremont County Planning Commission Tuesday evening. The Planning Commission is set to review several changes to the county's zoning resolution identified as the 26th amendment. Included in the changes is the creation of an 'Airport' zone district. An 'Airport' zone district has been under discussion by the Planning and Zoning staff with the Board of Commissioners for the past two years as a way to control development on airport facilities and the area immediately surrounding the airport. Regulations within an 'Airport' zone district are guided in large part by restrictions imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration. The 'Airport' zone district will generally require that any development within that district be aviation related.
Following consideration of the zoning amendment the planning commission will then formally consider a zone change on the property itself at the airport. The airport currently has two zoning designations. They include 'Airport Industrial Park' and 'Industrial'. The new zone districts being proposed are 'Airport' for the airport facilities and 'Industrial Park' for the industries located in the airport vicinity. The zone change basically means that Fremont County would abandon the definition of 'Airport Industrial Park' zoning. That means there would be only one industrial park zone district identified in county zoning regulations.
The only other item on the Planning Commission agenda is consideration of a request by Stan and Kristina Hinton for a two lot minor subdivision on 9 1/2 acres on the northeast corner of 10th and 'A' streets in the Beaver Park area at Penrose.
The Planning Commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 3rd, in room LL-3 on the lower level of the Fremont County Administration Building at 615 Macon Avenue in Canon City.
