N P The neighborhood planning process fits into a system where the D Golden Vision and Golden Comprehensive Plan both set the framework and vision for the subsequent plans. N At the neighborhood level, the plans are focused on the specifics to that neighborhood, and are pointed enough to address these issues. E D I E The North and 8th and 9th Street Neighborhood Plans were adopted before the Golden Vision surveys, which helped to cast a Legend vision for Golden into the year 2030. Since Golden Vision 2030, the City has updated the Comprehensive Plan and adopted the North Neighborhoods Plan Central Neighborhoods Plan. The South Neighborhoods Plan was 8th & 9th Street Neighborhoods Plan adopted by Council in late 2012. Central Neighborhoods Plan South Neighborhoods Plan The neighborhood planning process is intended to give the East Downtown Plan - Study Area community the opportunity to come out and see if the Golden ² City Limits Vision 2030 goals and Comprehensive Plan goals are being achieved. After gathering public input, the South Neighborhoods Plan will be ready to be considered for adoption.

• The highway oriented nature of the existing plan lessened anticipated traffic impacts on Heritage Road, and US 40 to the north. The City should continue to support site development plans featuring I-70 oriented retail uses as a fiscal benefit to the City with little impact.
• Alternate uses that may be appropriate in combination with a reasonable percentage of highway oriented retail include office, medical office, and light industrial space, all of which have lesser traffic impacts per equal square footage, and would continue to benefit the City with little impact.
• Given the quarry industrial operation and I-70 traffic impacts, as well as concerns about non-compatibility with Golden Vision and Comprehensive Plan values, residential uses should not be considered for the site.
• As noted in the implementation recommendations in Section 4 of this plan, the City should plan to investigate public/private partnerships that could s ur a ro riate co ercial an or e loy ent use e elo ent on t is arcel.

Summary of Public Input
Open House: February 21, 2012
South Area Trends / Themes
Results from 2008 Open Houses as start of Neighborhood Plan process
Character Although this is a larger area, the character described by the residents seems to feature
• more intimate and friendly scale • stability in developed areas • neighborhood character evolves with residents an over time – neighborhood will mature.
Land Use • substantial fear/concern about physical and character impacts of developing vacant ground • prevent development - buy it all • fear/concern about development/redevelopment spurred by light rail • wild life accommodation more significant concern than in any prior plan (is this driven by Bachman parcel?) • desire for services/retail, but preference for status quo • a start of the discussion of future changes / but no defined desired future • prevent change
Transportation Range from big picture to neighborhood specific
• regional concern about US 6/Beltway future and impacts • operational concerns for Heritage Road. Concerns for current/future impacts equated with volume (perhaps inaccurately) • Specific concerns about Heritage Road and US 40 intersection • concern about FasTracks traffic impacts (perhaps inaccurately) • major need for bike/ped improvements on Heritage Road / Colfax • desire for good pedestrian connection to light rail • support for neighborhood bus service • dislike for traffic calming / but at the same time continued resident speeding concern • support for walkability /desire for enhancements
Parks / Trails / Amenities • open space generally as a way to prevent development • some concern for an additional neighborhood park • lots of suggested amenities / improvements
Neighborhood Upkeep / Environmental • concern for individual upkeep / renters, number of vehicles • smaller issues – dogs, desire for communication / interaction • continued tower health concerns • desire for more convenient recycling • conflicting desires for more lighting and less lighting (dark skies)
Public Services • general support for city services • some school districts and taxation comments

As a homeowner, one of the biggest concerns to me about the neighborhood is….
• Over development • Under development • Tax dollars going to waste • Not developing our open spaces • Overdevelopment, traffic, loss of wildlife • Change of residential use to commercial • Overdevelopment running off our wildlife’s open space • Losing my home to TOD • Keeping the neighborhood small • Crime and vandalism if the city & JCSD can’t stop it we’re next. • More people, more risk. • Wild traffic islands (Eagle Ridge) • Over building • Vacant buildings • Quality of maintenance – it feels very junky in places • Small town feel adds to the likeability of Golden • Grow with thought over long term • Development of Bachman/Heritage consistent with residential property • Ignorance of emergency access • Not a big concern but ignorance of dog owners using my front lawn for dogs to urinate/defecate and not seem to care • Lack of standards in terms of maintenance, houses falling into disrepair, rental houses • What will be built on the corner of 6th and Heritage Rd – DO NOT want a hotel or taller than 2 story building • What will be built on corner of Kimball & Fire Station • What will happen to 6th Ave between Heritage & Hwy 58 – noise factor; wildlife disturbance • Develop single family homes – quality construction –prominent builder at least 500K and up
As a homeowner, I think one of the biggest threats to my property value is….
• Population congestion • Poor maintenance on homes and streets • Traffic congestion • Non-developed land • Too many trucks parked on streets-can’t walk on the sidewalks next to them • Rentals in Eagle Ridge homes • Towers • Too much traffic • Condition of streets • I’m not worried about my property value. I think Golden is doing a great job. • Lights on Look Out Mountain • Dead wildlife on road because no underpass for them. • Loose dogs and their mess • Parkway • Proposed condos at Eagle Ridge • Transients getting off rail line • Lack of code enforcement • Allowing current home owners let their property deteriorate/disrepair • Lack of a HOA • Loud traffic - motorcycles How true are these for YOU?

1 = 6; 2 = 1; 3 = 0; 4 = 0; 5 = 1;

I Am A……..PARENT
As a Parent, I feel the best things about the neighborhood are…..
• I own part of it • Good neighbors • Open space, bike trails, park, creek • Safe • Safety, good schools • We feel safe and have great neighbors • Not cluttered • The neighbors! • Close parks • The unpretentiousness of it, great neighbors, feel safe, love the trail & park • Safe, a lot of pride • Great relationship to open space • The character – large lots • Lots of open space • It feels very safe
As a Parent, I feel the things that most concern me about the neighborhood are…..
• Speeding cars – doesn’t matter how you design the road – they’ll still speed • Too much traffic • Traffic that is fast and cuts corners • Over building & vacancy of offices & condos • Adults presuming the streets are a playgound…even putting out signs in the travel or parking areas • Fast traffic • Safely getting to school • Safe pedestrian ways along Heritage • Making the public parks and open space relevant for young people as well as older people • Need Ped x-ing signs • Too many speed across the x-walk along the path across Kimball into the park • Walkability • Properties falling into disrepair not being maintained even though I like not having an HOA, I wouldn’t mind some standards • Speeding – please post more signs, more patrol, whatever it takes! • Also DOGS, too many people without leashes you can’t assume that we know your dog is friendly
As a Parent, for the neighborhood, I would like more…….
• Wider sidewalks • Police patrols • Opportunities to see neighbors • Sidewalk, bike lanes, traffic calming • Bike Lanes • Police patrols and traffic control – if we don’t ask/demand it we will be ignored and our children, our lives are… you call it what you want, taxpayer • Vandalism of Shelton is not our problem but the FPD comes asking us for answers they fail to pursue • Neighborhood parties! • Police patrols • Speed limit signs • Quick, easy access to light rail • Signage at the entrance to the neighborhood • Interpretive signage along K Run Trail • Improve “health” of the wetlands • Improve or remove garden on south end of Shelton school parking lot • Widen sidewalks • Comprehensive ADA review for “accessibility” and “usability”
If your children currently attend Shelton Elementary or the Golden Independent School, what things would make it easier for your children to walk to school?
• No parents with children in the Jeffco School District in Golden. Define it like it is; Golden doesn’t have any regard for your child’s safety unless you start with the JCSD Board. The GHS is prime example, $100K in debt and well behind schedule. The GCC has little regard for your children as defined by the JCSDB. • Improve grading & surfacing of “alley” that connects north Berthoud Way to south entrance of H. Dells park • The crosswalk on Kimball between Berthoud & Crawford Cir needs a pedestrian sign that lights up.
If your children are tweens or teenagers, what things in the neighborhood would help them stay safe?
• Occasionally patrol through park • Add’l bus stops • Walking/bike bridge over US-40 to Rooney Rd soccer complex (kids could bike or walk to & from if that road crossing wasn’t so dangerous) • Possibly better or addition of lighting in the parks • Better bike route to Bell Middle • Good crosswalk or bridge over Johnson Rd from bike path to Post Office side
What park amenities would you like for your children?
• Tennis courts • More playground equipment • Swimming pool in neighborhood • Community garden • Why is it only for grade schoolers – what about teenagers? • More shade – or in Stone Bridge just shade at park by the time the trees grow kids will all be grown • Climbing structure • More park amenities geared towards young and especially teenagers • Along K. Run Trail: rock/zen garden for children & adults • More seating in park and along trail – use native stone • Paint portable restroom fencing to look like surrounding foothills or ravines or? • A positive area for teens to come together – climbing structure perhaps? • Ask the teens they will have ideas
APPENDIX B
Summary of Public Input
Workshop: October 4, 2011 Summary of Public Input South Neighborhood Workshop; October 4, 2011
- Traffic Calming in Eagle Ridge (Eagle Ridge Drive) - Improve park amenities at Jefferson County Open Space just south o f Heritage Dells Neighborhood: Dog Park or Disc Golf? - Repave Heritage Road - Sidewalk along Colfax from Heritage Road to Home Depot complex - New use of unusually large parking lot at bar along Colfax on North side. - Development to attract and welcome people along Colfax – eateries for those in business park along and to east of Violet - Traffic onto Golden Ridge is already heavy; The overall redevelopment of the area is a great idea, but traffic will be a main issue. A second road should open up to Colfax. This could go through the mobile home park area. The turnaround traffic is is already heavy; an estimated 30- 40 cars daily from people that miss the C-470 turn on 6th Ave. - If the property owners of the Golden Terrace Community intend to change in the future an extensive community process should be held to discuss the future for land use, character, transportation, and design elements, and to address impacts on existing residents.

Responses from Online Survey
Conducted: Fall 2011 Online South Neighborhoods Plan
Survey Results Fall 2011
20 Responses
Section 1: West Colfax Area of Change
1. In the context of the value themes, how should this commercially zoned area feel when you are walking or biking down the street? Conversely, how should it NOT feel?
This area should have an opportunity to be walkable/bikeable and healthy. At this point in time, there is not ANY feel of this. Given the number of bus stops in the area, businesses and the Free Horizon MOntessori Charter School in the area, it must be a safe area that is welcoming and - just safe (vs. life threatening, as it feels now!)
Currently feels dangerous with cars speeding 40+ MPH. Bike and walk ways should be well defined and separate from the road.
Needs safer walking and biking access Not a "commercial strip"
Should feel modern. Should not feel busy and congested. Should not feel like cars are whizzing by.
It should feel user-friendly. It should include open/green space. It should have adequate access. It should NOT feel loud, operate overnight, or emit harmful/noxious substances
Should feel comfortable for cars and bikes plus peds
this area desperately needs a sidewalk and a bike lane.Shouldn't be so dark and scary.
Should feel vibrant and safe. Should NOT feel industrial.
it should feel safe to walk down either side of Colfax (it does not now). The cars that scream down Colfax coming from the west are not enforced for the speed limit. It should feel more walkable than it does, with connections between businesses. It shouldn't feel like you have to hop across obstacles just to walk in a straight line to get back to our neighborhoods from the commercial area.
Right now, this area is kind of a dump. The new sunny mart is the nicest feature- otherwise, it just feels like what it is- a liquor store, two biker bars and a gas station sitting between a mobile home park and a trailer community. It would be great if it felt more well developed, thought out, and added amenities and value to the neighborhoods surrounding it. Bike lanes would be nice or even a path connecting through the area. Well lighted, friendly and inviting.
It should feel safe, friendly, welcoming.... occassionally when I have friends coming to visit our Tripp Ranch home for the first time, I'm even a little embarrassed by that area they have to drive by since it makes it appear as if you're headed into an undesireable area...
Should feel: SAFE, new, classy, clean, applicable to needs of neighbors - restaurants, small shops, gas station, etc.. It should NOT feel like a dirty, unsafe, poorly lit, poorly maintained, sloppy, run down area like it does now!
I would appreciate the businesses along the two roads keeping their property clean so the area does not take on that "ratty" commercial flavor. Also the curve on Colfax is dangerous for bikers so a wide, bike-friendly path would be great.
Safe, wide sidewalks, far from road; should not feel like cars on Colfax are dangerous to pedestrians & bikers.
It could look a bit more presentable. Right now it is pretty barren (dirt, weeds, etc.).
2. What should this commercial area look like to compliment the surrounding neighborhoods and fulfill the community values?
There should be businesses that welcome those living in the areas around the target area. Additionally, the businesses should be open to people walking/biking to them, as there seems to be quite a bit of foot traffic in this area, as well as bus traffic, etc.....The businesses in this area and the school in this area both offer additional people whose needs can/should be filled. If it is clear that there are businesses that meet people's needs, they will be used by the daytime only residents, as well.
Currently feels uncared for, incohesive and dirty. Would like to see more landscaping, funds to provide low-cost loans for refacing commercial buildings, requirements for aesthetic compliance.
Should look modern.
Architecturally interesting, tasteful signage -- not fake Western or mountain.
more curb/gutter/ walk way and more attention to the land scaping along the road, with more lighting.
Commercial opportunities for local businesses + retail options that serve both nearby neighborhoods and captures regional travelers.
It should be redeveloped to have more attractive buildings, meaning small shops and offices or service establishments. The Sunny Mart is busy with locals, but the ugly commercial & industrial buildings make it feel like you shouldn't be there. Walkability / bikeability from surrounding neighborhoods with sidewalks is huge -- why the "walkability" score has become such a big selling point in home sale listings. The look (although a quaint, homey look would be nice) becomes less important than accessibility...
For safety and easy accessibility, it should be well lit and look clean and safe. Fewer bars and biker-hangouts would potentially help with this.
Clean and possibly landscaped to upgrade the look.
Less trashed / less abandoned - this stretch just looks awful, like a community that doesn't care / invest
3. Can you name and describe other commercial/ public places you’ve been in Colorado that might be an inspiration for how this area should change over time?
East Colfax redevelopment in Denver (where the theatre is and East high school) is an area on a busy street that has developed businesses that make it clear they are there and are friendly to those who are potential customers. (I recognize it would be less dense, but it is the kind of transformation that could be a model.) This is a tough question, as areas such as this aren't often transformed - it could be a model with respect to how to accommodate lower income housing, upper income housing (a little further back), school children and businesses on a busy road that could also provide business traffic as people cath I70. The traffic could be a big draw for this area!
Downtown Morrison and Golden.
Belmar, Lakewood CO
Shopping Center on South Santa Fe Drive. yes, just on the east side of c-470/colfax.
Vibrant and innovative, but still responsive to "working class" feel and context. Realistic retail ambitions. Few examples come to mind, since most new and innovative developments are struggling right now.
Downtown Golden.
Belmar
My favorite is the Highlands area in NW Denver, but again with that, it's not as much the look of those buildings (most are very blocky and basic), as it is the quaint/neighborhood feel and the quality of the shops/restaurants there.
The Highlands in Denver, the Stapleton area, Flatirons developments southeast of Boulder.
The commercial area north of Hwy 58 and just west of the I-70/Hwy 58 interchange is obviously commercial but also nicely landscaped and maintained. The buffer on the south side of Colfax in front of the RV park and storage site is well done and seems to be well maintained. More of this type of landscaping with trees which will just get better with time is great. new bike lines in Golden near Clear Creek are great; more walkable areas, shops, better restaurants. Old-town Littleton, the Highlands are nice little areas
4. How could this commercial area be designed to enhance connections between neighbors and improve the sense of community?
Add sidewalks so people can actually get places by any other means than cars!!! (Sidewalks and bike lines all along Colfax ....in alignment with CDOT's new Bike/Ped Policy!!) Finish paths to get to this area....right now, one can meander through neighborhoods and hope for the best - maybe some clear, enticing paths would be good?
Improved walkways, landscaping and public places.
Better maintained buildings
Promote a summer time street vendor event every Sunday something akin to what Belmar does.
Regular updates to surrounding neighborhoods about future businesses, construction, relevance to community needs.
If walkable, it will attract neighbors. bike path
Facilitate and integrate safe pedestrian/bike connections between neighborhoods, Bachman park parcel, Rooney Road fields, Colfax corridror.
Improve the front areas of each of the businesses, add pocket parks to allow walkers to rest every so often. Incentivize local businesses to be on the corners, to encourage residents to walk to them.
Sidewalk both along Colfax as well as thru previous Bachman open space area -- would enhance connection/walkability to those neighborhoods and make it a destination.
Build a recreation center or a community center! Or an area with novel (not your everyday Applebee's etc.) restaurants/shops that have multi-cultural appeal (young professionals, retirement, family-oriented, etc.). Be unique!!!
Biking/walking access with safety in mind. Also, I've traveled this area of Colfax for 24 years and the yellow double stripe on Colfax is very important. I've seen it get faded and cars coming East on Colfax, around the curve can't see where they are supposed to drive. I've had them coming straight at me in my lane more than once as I traveled West on Colfax.
Less trashy, more family-friendly shops & resturants, clean up abandoned, vacant areas, attract new businesses with walkability, a park
There is a desperate need for a pedestian/bike path, or a sidewalk and a wide shoulder for biking. There is a school (Free Horizon Montessori) in the business park just to the east, but getting there by bike or on foot from the neighbohoods to the north and northwest of this area is a life threatening proposition.
5. Describe the kind of public spaces, such as plazas and play areas, which would entice you to linger in the area and connect with your friends and neighbors.
Green space - any at all! Add a park somewhere around here - this would serve the school children! A little plaza with a coffee shop, a few shops to meet necessities and possibly some drinking/dining spots. Any area that actually can be accessed without fear of being hit by a car would be great!
Outdoor eating areas, fountains, neighborhood garden.
Parks with covered pick nick tables
Green spaces, park-like spots for meeting friends, water features
Shade is important in summer; protection from weather in winter. Awnings, trees, umbrellas a safe area to walk that allows for seeing snakes and small criiters in advance with some benches placed along the path.
Something interesting and different that utilizes the rock outcrop (in the RV park). Food/beer. Walkable from neighborhoods.
Lots of benches, pocket parks, areas to sit and play a game or talk with people. Big pieces of art with sitting areas around it. People might gather there just to look at them and talk. Install things that are small activities but that are recognizable to people. I mean if you want to meet your neighbor for a walk, meet up at the fountain, or the exercise area, or the sun dial. Stuff like that.
Outdoor seating areas -- both as part of a restaurant or coffee shop, as well as public seating with "natural" and simple kid distractions -- I think of the Arvada art center outside area with primarily just a big long cement dragon as an example!
Pearl street mall in Boulder. The shops at 32nd and Youngfield in the Highlands. (Awesome area!) A recreation center and/or park area.
I don't think we need more parks. As the commercial and retail store sites increase, parking access and safe entry/exit onto Colfax would be a big plus.
A park with a playground, sidewalks, cafes/coffee shops, easy parking
Open space or a park that connects with the Bachmann land would be a nice touch.
