Planning commission approves consent rezoning for short-term rental eligibility at 28763 Columbine Drive

The Jefferson County Planning Commission on July 23 approved a consent-item rezoning for 28763 Columbine Drive in Conifer (Case No. 24-112415RZ). The owners/applicants are David W. Mead and Susan J. Mead; the case manager listed was Ali McGaughey.

Kimmie Schillinger, the commission’s executive secretary, read the consent-item case into the record. The read statement described the request as rezoning approximately 1.009 acres from Mountain Residential 2 to Mountain Residential 1 to make the property eligible for short-term rental applications. Chairman Rogers said the item remained on the consent agenda because staff and referral agencies had provided affirmative responses and no public comment had been registered.

Commissioner Becker moved to approve the consent agenda item as read into the record and the motion was seconded; the commission approved the consent agenda by voice vote. No roll-call tally was read into the record for the consent item; the minutes reflect the consent agenda was approved.

Because the item was on the consent agenda and no public testimony was offered, the commission did not hold a separate presentation or extended discussion on the record. The planning commission’s approval forwards the case record and its recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners for final action (the Board is the final authority for rezoning cases).
