<br />Several Colorado communiries I�ave recently passed ordinances
<br />limiting the number of sex offenders per household to just one
<br />individual. In 1991, the state of Colozado passed a law requiring
<br />Ioca1 sex offenders to register with law enforcement agencies.
<br />The law makes it easier for communiry ofEczals to find the
<br />addresses of offenders.
<br />A year ago, I,aleewood officials discovered f�ve unreIated sex
<br />offenders living together in a rental home. In response, the city
<br />passed an emergency amendment to its zoning ordinance banning
<br />households with more than one registered sex offender, The men
<br />then moved to a nearby communiry only ta 6ave a similar
<br />ordinance passed. Locat planners figure moce than a dozen
<br />communities in rk�e Front Range of Colorado have modified their
<br />zoning codes to restrict the number of se�c offenders per household.
<br />Denver planning consultant, Don Eliiott, says this is not a group
<br />home issue. He noces rhat while se,Y offenders may live in rhe same
<br />household, the facilities are not owned and operated as group
<br />homes. Because of rhis, municipalities must regulate sex offenders
<br />through the definiriom of family,
<br />Communities in Colorado have updated their codes to snclude
<br />pcoviszons thac change the defuution of family. Broomfie4d's zoning
<br />ardinance states, "A family shall not ir�clude more rhan one person
<br />required to register as a sex offender." Longmont has included a
<br />similar provision in its ordinance, limiting a fatnily household to
<br />orily one member who is an offender.
<br />Littleton, Colorado, citizens discovered that several sex
<br />offenders had lived 'an three of the community's facilities for
<br />juveniles in 1997. This discovery led to countywide restrictions
<br />of sex offenders in residential ateas. The existing facilities were
<br />not exclusively designed For juvenile offenders.
<br />In an efforr to deal with the problem, jefferson County
<br />proposed that a new, much lazger facility for approximately 100
<br />juvenile sex of�enders be located away from residential
<br />neighborhoods. One o:f tl�e proposed sites was on 15i acres in
<br />GoFden, Colorado, 6ut ciry officials and local residents argued that
<br />they already had a faciliry for juvenile offenders. Cou�ty
<br />commissioners chose arAOther site for the campus—Iocated on 1,120
<br />acres rzear Pine, Colorado. Prediaably, however, residenrs there also
<br />oppose the new site. The question remains; if not in Pine, then
<br />where? As one Jeffezson County planner says, "[The] Denver (area]
<br />is goi�zg to more ar less end up being a test case in this issue."
<br />Since 1996, the federa( government has required al! states to
<br />adopt sex-offender registration laws similar to those in
<br />Colorado. Angela Nlesaros
