Gonzales v. Industrial Commission

The defendants, Randy Royer, Relax Development Corporation, Ltd., and Relax Denver Investment Group, Ltd., (Relax) own a 5.3 acre tract of ground in Lakewood that is zoned for office use. The plaintiffs, John B. Pfaff and Green Mountain Management, Inc., own property on which a hotel is situated. The plaintiffs land is located immediately across the street from Relaxs ground. Relax applied to the City of Lakewood to rezone its land to permit a hotel-motel development. The actual request before the city council was for it to rezone 3.12 acres of the plaintiffs 5.3 acre parcel; thus, a 2.18 acre buffer zone, ranging from 30 to 100 feet in width, was created around a portion of Relaxs property.
