Stacie has forwarded your request to me and in response to your inquiry of May 14, 2012 regarding the 2012
Conservation Futures projects, I have the following comments:
I understand the proposed projects involve the purchase of the following parcels:

801-204-006 Commercial Forest CF 1-80 38.98 1
TOTAL 195.63 3
GRAND TOTAL 411.66 15
*Acreages are based on mapping. Surveys may differ from these estimates. A formal survey may identify the
parcels as larger or smaller. The potential number of developable parcels does not change in the three scenarios
above.
None of the proposals includes property located within an urban growth area, and the potential loss of
developable parcels is minimal. The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan identifies goals and policies for the
preservation and enhancement of open space. Open Space Goal (OSG) 1.0 guides Jefferson Count to preserve
and enhance the existing open space lands, and the Open Space Policy (OSP) 1.5 encourages the pursuit of
public acquisition of potential parks, critical wildlife areas, and other open space lands by utilizing a variety of
funding mechanisms.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based upon the preceding findings, the Department of Community Development believes the proposed
and Jefferson County would retain enough development land to accommodate the housing and employment
growth that it is expected to receive.
