A Little History...
In 1994, the Town of Estes Park and Larimer County began a
comprehensive planning process for the Estes Valley, which involved
the creation of a seventeen-member task force, eight community-wide
workshops, twenty-eight planning-area workshops, and three
community-wide surveys. Following extensive community-wide input,
the Town and County jointly adopted the
Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan in 1996. This plan established
goals to guide future development and recommended revisions to
zoning and subdivision regulations to accomplish these goals.
Following adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the Town and County
began work to develop joint zoning and subdivision regulations for
the Estes Valley, again soliciting public input. The product of that
work is the Estes Valley Development Code. Any revisions to the code
are considered and adopted through a public hearing process that is
held before the respective elected boards, with each acting
independently.
