Avon Updating Land Use Code
The town of Avon is working on a long overdue update to its Land Development Code. It’s a much needed process that will improve content and timing of submissions, implement baseline development standards, address sustainability of built environment; improve public benefits process, modernize the PUD process, create zone district regulations, and enhance usability of subdivision regulations. The Planning and Zoning Commission is finalizing its draft to prepare for submission to the Town Council for approval. VBR is reviewing the 288 page document to ensure private property rights and home and landowners are protected in the new code.
Garfield County Comp Plan Pushing Ahead
The Garfield County Planning & Zoning Board is continuing ahead with the formulation of its 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The Board will hold one more meeting on June 30th to complete work on draft language. While it could hold further public work sessions, the P & Z is expected to hold 2 back to back meetings on July 13th. The first meeting will be a joint meeting with the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), and following that meeting, on the same day, a joint meeting will be held with the County Commissioner. GSAR is meeting with each of the County Commissioners, P & Z members, and county staff to determine GSAR position on the issue. GSAR continues to encourage its members to get out and learn more about the Comp Plan and how it will affect land owners with its passage.
