3-20-20 Urban and Rural Areas

Lands located within adopted urban growth boundaries or the townsite of Redstone are sometimes referred to in this Land Use Code as “urban” lands or “urban” areas. Lands located outside of adopted urban growth boundaries and the townsite of Redstone are sometimes referred to in this Land Use Code as “rural” lands or “rural” areas. In those cases where zone districts intended for use inside the urban growth boundaries (or Redstone) have already been mapped outside those boundaries, such zone districts will remain in effect. After the 5th of July, 2006 of this Land Use Code, applications to rezone land outside the urban growth boundaries (and Redstone) to a zone district intended for use inside the urban growth boundaries will not be approved. In general, any proposed development that is required to be reviewed by the State of Colorado site application process because of estimated water requirements or wastewater generation (based on State of Colorado standards) should not be located in a Rural Area of the County.
