At a January meeting county planners defend a proposal to downzone about 200 acres of Gilpin park from heavy industrial to agricultural with a conditional use permit. They argue the move aligns zoning with a 1976 land use plan and gives discretion on future industrial sites while residents warn of flood risks and housing shortages and urge protection of agricultural land.
