Site development review is a required assessment, prior to development, of the physical aspects and constraints of the site for the purpose of development. While it will not vest a property to development regulations, it provides for a professional analysis of the site according to current development regulations. A guaranteed right to development can only be established once a development permit application or building permit application vests pursuant to JCC 18.40.320. Jefferson County Department of Community Development Planning Staff has completed a site development review on parcel 701311006. This site development review reflects the conditions of the property at the date the review was completed. Zoning: This parcel is zoned Rural Residential 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres (RR1:5).

Adjacent Zoning and Special Setbacks: The property is adjacent to rural forest land on the eastern parcel boundary. Per JCC 18.20.160, any structures must maintain a setback of 100 feet from this property boundary. Consideration for reduction of the setback is determined by parcel constraints and protocols for reduction at the time of application.
