6:30PM Planning Commission Meeting @ City Hall
The Planning Commission will discuss two cases tonight. The first concerns new construction at 879 N. Ford St. (map). The owners are asking for two major adjustments to the zoning code. They want to exceed the total allowed floor area by 21.04 square feet (3,221.04 rather than 3,200). The second adjustment would allow a 47-1/2 foot lot frontage instead of the 50 feet required.
The second case regards 121 Orchard Street (map). The owners plan an addition to their existing single family home. The layout of the lot and current house present a couple of complications. “Commission will review a requested adjustment to waive standard in subsection 18.29.321.1)e)2. requiring a garage door attached to or integrated into the principal building to be recessed at least 6 feet from the principal building wall on the same elevation for a proposed addition onto an existing single-family home, as well as project 1.5 feet forward from the front of the structure.”
They will continue their evaluation of the new zone standards to discuss possible amendments. They will discuss possible updates to our affordable housing policies. They will review the latest draft of the South Neighborhoods Plan. For more information about any of these topics, see the meeting packet.

Golden History Moment
46 Years Ago
The March 1, 1976 Golden Transcript announced that “many tourists requested a sticker they could put on campers, bumpers or windshield to show they had visited Golden.” Accordingly, the Chambered ordered some from Archer’s Decorative Glass Co. of Golden (which was a Chamber member). The decals were available for 25 cents each.
The wording is a bit of a historical curiosity. The Welcome arch, which went up in 1949, originally said “Where the West Remains.” This decal was designed before the wording was changed. In 1979, a committee was charged with refurbishing the arch. They decided that the word “Remains” made Golden sound dead. They had the sign painter change the word to “Lives,” and so it remains today!
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!
