3-40-90 RS-20 (Resource-20 Acre)

(a) Intent

The general intent statement included in Sec. 3-40-30 applies to the RS-20 zone district. The RS-20 PUD (Resource Planned Unit Development-20 Acre) zone district is intended to apply to areas closer to urban growth boundaries than those zoned RS-30.

(b) Locational Criteria

The RS-20 zone district is intended to be applied primarily in the Woody Creek area, but may also be appropriate where other lands share similar physical characteristics with those areas. The RS-20 zone district should generally not be applied when the result would be to increase the potential development density outside of the urban growth boundaries.

When a rezoning to the RS-20 zone district occurs, or when land within the RS-20 zone district is subdivided or otherwise divided into separate parcels through a subdivision exemption pursuant to C.R.S. 30-28-110, in connection with an application for subdivision, 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).

(d) Transferable Development Rights (TDRs)

TDRs may not be severed and sold from parcels of land in the RS-20 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-20 zone district for the purposes of increasing the maximum size of an existing dwelling located on a parcel of land within the limits on final maximum floor area established in Table 5-1, pursuant to Secs. 6-70 and 2-40-30, and as set forth in Table 2-1. Growth Management Quota System (GMQS)

Lands in the RS-20 zone district are subject to the GMQS (see Chapter 6).
