Motion/Recommendation to BOCC.  Lone Tree Industrial Park, Dave Green Planner I
INTRODUCTION
On May 1, 2015, the Planning Division received an application for review and approval of a seven-unit condominium subdivision on Tract 3A of Certificate of Survey 971.  The property is located on the north side of King Avenue West between South 64^th Street West and South 72^nd Street West. The general address is 6875 King Avenue West.  The property is not within the County zoning jurisdiction and therefore, in accordance with Chapter 8 of the County Subdivision Regulations, this condominium development must be reviewed as a “subdivision for rent or lease.”  The Board of County Commissioners will act on the proposal on July 7, 2015.
