A wide angle view of the Golden Overlook property from the road on a sunny day.

Background

The Golden Overlook property, located off of W. 4th Avenue, consists of approximately 25 acres. The property is located on a steep hillside over the interchange of I-70 and C-470 in south Golden on Green Mountain.

The residential development of the property was approved by the City in 2008 for 92 single family lots and has only recently begun development by a new buyer. City staff have been working with the new buyer (New Home Co.) to develop construction plans for the subdivision’s build-out. Because the land has been zoned and platted for its intended purpose since 2008, the developer is free to proceed without further public input.

Update March 3, 2025: Minimizing Neighborhood Impact-Trail is Re-opened!

City staff will continue to work with the new owner as the project takes shape to consider the impact on the surrounding community. Steps to ensure minimal impact to the surrounding residential areas during construction have already been taken:

  • Opening of the paved trail for pedestrians and cyclist through the site as of March 3, 2025. The trail is on the future S. Terry Street and connects to W. 4th Avenue. The site is still subject to temporary closures and disruptions due to construction traffic, so trail users should use the new trail with caution, especially during Monday-Friday.
  • Ensuring construction noise does not occur outside of allowable hours of 7a.m. to 9 p.m., with outdoor, noise-producing construction not occurring past 7 p.m.
  • Ensuring that sediment and debris leaving the site is minimized.
  • Ensuring the development follows all applicable City rules and regulations

Frequently Requested Documents:

The final location of the new trail will be within the subdivision along S. Terry Street.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Where will the new subdivision be accessed?

    The new subdivision will be accessed from W. 4th Avenue and will have access to a new emergency access from S. Rogers Way that is being constructed by the builder. The builder will also complete significant improvements to W. 4th Avenue as a part of the project that include new sidewalk, curb, gutter and new pavement. There are no other access points available due to geographic and jurisdictional limitations.

  2. How long will construction take?

    Construction of the subdivision will happen in stages, the builder has completed grading of the site, installation of sound walls and is the process of installation of utilities.

  3. Can the project be reconfigured or changed?

    The zoning and platting occurred in 2006/2008 and no changes can be made by the City unless the property owner requests changes to the layout or use/zoning.

  4. Will the roads in the new subdivision be public or private?

    The roads are public and include the new location of the regional trail.

    Has the c470 trail re-opened since the end of february target?

    andystroh asked 15 days ago

    Hi, The C-470 trail has re-opened, however the trail is through an active construction site. Trail users should use caution when going through the Overlook site, especially Monday-Friday.

    Maggie Bailey asked about 2 months ago

    We are working closely with the developer to re-open the trail as soon as possible.  Staff's inspections over the past couple of weeks have indicated that trail is not safe on the site, we hope to have it open with a paved path by the end of February, but its weather-dependent this time of year as paving can only occur when the temperatures are over a certain mark. We will work with the developer to ensure that the signage is updated.

    Will the new homes be located in a flood zone since they are being built at the bottom of a hillside?

    Sm asked 4 months ago

    The new homes, nor the property, are in a flood zone. The development of the property will necessitate the construction of several facilities to manage any stormwater in conformance with the City's design standards.

    KDAHM asked 4 months ago

    Thanks for contacting the City regarding the noise in this neighborhood. Noise walls are planned in the new development, however they are not planned to extend further into the existing neighborhoods of Golden Heights or Golden Hills. I spoke with the Director of Public Works and she has committed to completing a noise study in this neighborhood next year. Once the study is completed a strategy can be studied for cost and feasibility for implementation. Please contact Public Works Project Manager, Sara Aupperle at saupperle@cityofgolden.net for more information.

    Has there been more recent a traffic study done since 2006 (18 years ago)

    Lj asked 5 months ago

    Hi,

    There is not a more recent traffic study because entitlements were not required to be updated for the project to move forward in 2023.  The lots were platted in 2006 and no further approvals were needed other than updating civil construction plans to meet current City standards for infrastructure and monetary amounts needed for bonding.

    What will the price range be for the new homes?

    Michael Queen asked about 1 year ago

    The prices of the new homes have not been advertised by the builder, New Home Co.  Regardless, the City does not have any say or control over the price of these homes.
