La Plata County Land Use Code
Policy Input Deadline Extended: Zoning
Policy Input Deadline Extended: Zoning
Greetings from the La Plata County Planning Department. This is just a reminder that the Board of County Commissioners is seeking your input on how to address zoning/land use designation in the revised land use code. The BOCC has extended the comment period, which will now close at 5 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 10.
The next work session on zoning will be held from 2-5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 4, and there will be an opportunity for public comment then.
See below for details and thank you for taking the time to weigh in on this policy discussion.
La Plata County is working on the land use code revision project as a county-led effort that draws on internal resources, reviews of land use codes from similar counties in Colorado, and existing work products to craft a code that works for La Plata County. There are a number of policy issues that the Board of County Commissioners will give staff direction on how to address in the code revision process. The Board of County commissioners is considering these policy questions and will be providing staff direction after seeking public input on each of the issues, as well as considering best practices from a staff review of land use regulations in six other Colorado counties.
One of the most critical policy topics the Board of County Commissioners will consider is zoning, and we want your input to help guide the direction given to staff on how the revised land use code contemplates zoning. Your input will help inform the Board of County Commissioners decision-making on land use regulations.
