The updated draft (dated Oct 12th, replacing the Sept 30th draft version) of the Chaffee County Land Use Code has been published for public review, along with the proposed zoning map, as of October 12, 2024. Changes to this version from the prior version are denoted with red text and flagged with UPDATED or ADDED. A hyperlinked Table of Contents has also been added. Visit https://www.togetherchaffeecounty.org/input to access both documents.
Together, the draft Land Use Code (LUC) and zoning map support the goals, visions, and objectives of the 2020 Chaffee County Comprehensive Plan. The proposed code has evolved through the past 24 months of the Land Use Code Rewrite project and the public input collected through the >20 public hearing meetings held to date. The proposed zoning map seeks to implement the future land use plan adopted in the Chaffee County 2020 Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Commission will review this draft at their work session on October 15th, 2024, starting at 6:00 p.m. This meeting is virtual only. Please note that the Planning Commission does not take public comment during work sessions.
