3-40-40 RS-35 (Resource - 35 Acre)

(a) Intent

The RS-35 (Resource-35 Acre) zone district is intended to: preserve the open character of land divided into tracts between 35 and 160 acres, promote land uses consistent with the applicable Pitkin County Master Plan, and prevent inappropriate development on such tracts, regardless of whether such lands have been formally subdivided. The zone district is intended to allow only very low impact resource or residential uses on such lands. The zone district includes lands previously zoned UFRS-35, and the regulations applicable to such lands remain unchanged.

(b) When PUD Required

When a rezoning to the RS-35 zone district occurs a PUD must be prepared pursuant to Sec. 2-40-50. The criteria for approval of a PUD are listed in Sec. 3-70-30(i).

TDRs may not be severed and sold from lands in the RS-35 zone district, unless the lot or parcel is determined to be constrained or visually constrained pursuant to Sec. 6-70-40 or is designated on the Pitkin County Historic Register, or is approved as a limited development conservation parcel pursuant to Sec. 6-70-40. TDRs may be purchased and used in the RS-35 zone district only for the purpose of increasing the maximum size of an existing dwelling located within the limits on final maximum floor area established in Table 5-1, pursuant to Sec. 6-70 and as set forth in Table 2-1. Growth Management Quota System (GMQS)

Lands in the RS-35 zone district are subject to the GMQS (see Chapter 6).
