August 5th Planning Commission Agenda

August 5th Planning Commission Agenda

The Fremont County Planning Commission Tuesday evening takes up discussion for a third consecutive monthly meeting on changes in zoning definitions at the Fremont County Airport. There are two primary points of discussion under which two new zone districts would be created on the south side of the Fremont County Airport with elimination of an Airport Industrial Park zone.

One issue deals with creation of a new Airport Zone that would intend to restrict uses in the immediate area of the airport, runways, and taxiways to aviation related uses. The second issue deals with creation of an Industrial Park zone just outside of the new airport zone on the south side of the airport runway.

Members of the Airport Advisory Committee and a representative from Armstrong Consultants of Grand Junction plan to attend the Planning Commission meeting to aid in identifying the types of aviation uses that might be allowed or restricted in an Airport zone district. Part of that discussion is what should be permitted by 'right' in both Airport and Industrial Park zone districts and what types of uses would be allowed only through a special review.

The Planning Commission will also consider a zone change request from Ag Forestry zone to Ag Living zone district for a parcel southeast of the intersection of County Roads #127 and #129 near Brush Hollow Reservoir. The property is owned by Bruce and Catherine Benthagen and Marilyn Smith and contains 162 acres in the Beaver Park area.
The Planning Commission meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday evening, August 5th in the commissioners meeting room on the lower level of the Fremont County Administration Building at 615 Macon Avenue in Canon City.
