C470 Corridor Plan
Boundary
Highway C-470 runs through Jefferson County along the eastern base of the Dakota Hogback. Opened in 1990, it transports more than 46,000 cars a day along the 16-mile stretch through Jefferson County. The western boundary of the C-470 Corridor Plan area is the Hogback’s ridgeline, while the eastern boundary extends approximately one-half of a mile out from C-470 and extends approximately three-quarters of a mile at intersections with access to C-470.
Purpose and Use of Plan
The C-470 Corridor Plan is intended to encourage the development of job opportunities along the C-470 corridor to improve the county’s jobs-to-population imbalance. This Plan provides land use recommendations for office development 
and smaller-scale retail that will support office development. Adoption of this Plan will not change allowed land uses. Rather it will establish the type of land use that will be supported when land use changes are proposed. The Plan’s recommended land uses would apply to rezoning applications. The planning area was separated into three unique areas: Bowles, Belleview and Ken-Caryl. A Land Use Recommendation Map was created for each area. To determine the recommended land use that applies to a particular piece of land, the reader must first locate the parcel on the map for the particular area. The corresponding Land Use Definitions provide specific recommended land uses. If a property is not shown on the Land Use Recommendation Map in one of the three areas, the recommendations in the South Jefferson County Community Plan will apply. If the property is outside one of the three areas, and is within the Plan boundaries, the recommendations in the Other Areas section of the Plan apply.
