In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a proposal to rezone approximately 95 acres of land from Agricultural 1 and General Industrial to Planned Development. This change aims to facilitate limited light industrial, commercial, open space, and recreational uses on the site of the former Arapahoe County Landfill, which is currently part of the David A. Lorenz Park.

The proposal outlines four distinct planning areas. Planning Area 4, encompassing 30.5 acres, is designated for open space and recreational activities, including the existing BMX track. Planning Areas 1 and 2 are intended for limited light industrial uses, while Planning Area 3 will accommodate limited commercial activities. Additionally, Planning Areas 1, 3, and 4 will feature proposed trails to enhance connectivity and accessibility.

The Planning Commission reviewed the application during a public hearing on August 12, 2024, where it received unanimous support for approval. Notably, there were no public comments either in favor of or against the proposal, indicating a lack of community opposition or support at this stage.

Historically, the property has been zoned for agricultural use since 1955, with only a minor portion designated as general industrial. The proposed rezoning marks a significant shift in land use for this area, located in the far north part of the county adjacent to County Line Road.
