Jeffco Group Opposes Rezoning Near North Table Mountain

JEFFERSON COUNTY, CO — A group of Jefferson County residents are trying to stop the rezoning of land beside North Table Mountain. The rezoning has been proposed by a developer that wants to build a 235-unit luxury apartment on the mountain's northern flank.

If approved by Jefferson County commissioners, the rezoning would "set precedent for the development of similar high density communities on many other flanks of North Table Mountain," the 'We Are North Table Mountain' community group said.

“While there’s a need for high density housing throughout the Front Range, our two lane streets and intersections were not designed for this level of increased traffic," North Table Mountain resident Shane Marberry said in a statement.

"Nor do the flanks of North Table Mountain need to be subject to a building boom. This location is not zoned for large scale luxury rentals regardless of out of state developers asking nicely for a rezoning so they can extract their returns at the expense of the environment and Colorado’s treasured landscapes."

The development, on 4 parcels, would include single-family detached and attached units, with communal amenities.

The community group is holding a virtual meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday.
