The city of Golden, CO, has been perplexed for more than 20 years about what to do with a piece of land called the Golden Overlook.
The latest plan proposes to build self-storage and light industrial/commercial space on Area B of the land, which is between a residential neighborhood and the C-470 and Interstate 70 exit. It has 22.4 acres, and building is allowed only on about half of it. It’s zoned as residential, but the proposal seeks a rezoning to lower-impact commercial.
“Developers have tried to develop this land for more than 20 years, but every one of them has failed,” said resident Marie Williams, who is a board member for Open Space Golden Ltd.
The rezoning request will go before the Golden Planning Commission, which will make a recommendation to the Golden City Council.
