6:30PM City Council Regular Business Meeting @ City Hall
Tonight’s consent agenda includes two items. The first is an intergovernmental agreement regarding use of an opioid settlement. The second is a resolution regarding parking near the creek. 10th Street west of Washington will become a paid parking zone. 9th, 11th, 12th, and 13th will have their existing permit times extended. Residents of those neighborhoods will have parking permits, allowing them to park there at all times.
Council will read two proclamations–one for LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and one for Golden Day (the anniversary of the town’s founding).
They will hold three public hearings, all regarding the CoorsTek rezoning.
The first hearing covers parking requirements. CoorsTek wants to provide less parking than currently required under city code. City staff agrees with this approach, provided the planning director has the right to require more mitigation if parking gets worse in the surrounding neighborhoods.
The second hearing regards an alley that CoorsTek wants the city to vacate (give up), so the company can build over it. Currently, the alley runs through their large parking lot at 10th and Ford.
The third hearing concerns their vested property rights. CoorsTek’s development plan requires them to do a number of things, such as providing workforce housing, achieving environmental goals, providing a certain amount of open space, providing adequate parking, and restricting building heights. Normally, developers have three years to achieve those goals. CoorsTek is requesting twenty years. City staff is recommending ten years. Council will deliberate.
To submit comments on any of these topics, attend the meeting or send an email to PublicComment@cityofgolden.net.

Golden History Moment
88 Years Ago
The June 7, 1934 Colorado Transcript reported that Mayor Jones had received a letter from the Colorado Division of Public Health, telling Golden to desist from dumping sewage into Clear Creek. Their charge was valid: Golden did pipe its sewage untreated, straight into the creek. This was standard practice at the time. Every city along the creek was doing the same thing, making Clear Creek a filthy, disgusting mess.
This was the middle of the Great Depression, and none of the municipalities had money to build sewage treatment plants, so the problem continued for many years. Golden was finally rescued from our culpability when Coors began treating our sewage in 1953.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
