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.
