6:30PM Planning Commission @ City Hall

Single story 919 5th Street with its 3 story neighbor - Click to enlarge


The owner of 919 5th St (map) is requesting approval to build an extra-tall fence. The one-story home was built in 1950. A three-story duplex was built next door in 2021 and the HVAC unit for the new structure is located next to the older home. Current zoning code restricts fence height to 6 feet. The owner of 919 5th wants to build a 6 foot fence with an additional 2 feet of lattice at the top. This would provide some privacy and some noise abatement from the HVAC unit. Learn more beginning on p. 5 of the meeting packet.

Each dwelling unit will have four bedrooms and one parking space. Learn more beginning on p. 19 of the meeting packet.

Staff is requesting Planning Commission approval for several changes to our zoning code. They propose to eliminate newspaper notices for special use permits, vacation of streets, alleys, or other public ways, and community landmark designation. (Begins on p. 97 of the meeting packet.)

The Commission will also be asked to review and approve the new procedures to expedite development of Affordable Housing projects in Golden. (Begins on p. 114 of the meeting packet--search for "123 Affordable" to find applicable references.)
