Eagle County land use rewrite moves through advisory bodies; Justice Center expansion, 2027 budget on Oct. 27 agenda
Eagle County's rewrite of its land use regulations passed through a series of advisory committee and planning commission sessions over the past two weeks, and the Board of County Commissioners is scheduled to take up related items — along with a Justice Center expansion agreement and the 2027 budget — at its Oct. 27 regular meeting.
No minutes have been published for any meeting listed below. All are agenda-only records, so this roundup describes what was scheduled, not what was decided. No vote tallies or outcomes are available.
Land use code rewrite
The ECLUR Advisory Committee held what its agenda described as a final work session on Oct. 14 to review the land use regulation rewrite, covering a final proposed zone district map and a high-level summary of the new code.
The Eagle County Planning Commission took up the same materials in a work session on Oct. 15.
The Roaring Fork Valley Regional Planning Commission met Oct. 15 for a hearing that included Special Use Permit application ZS-009638-2026 for a detached garage at 554 Escalante Rd, plus a joint work session on the zone district map and code summary.
On Oct. 21, both commissions held hearings on recommendations covering repeal of the current Eagle County Land Use Regulations (ECLUR), new subdivision regulations, new PUD regulations, and certification of the new zoning plan and official zone district map. The Planning Commission's agenda states it will then provide its own recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners.
Wildfire code and clean energy policies
The BoCC's Oct. 20 regular meeting agenda listed a resolution amending and readopting the Eagle County Wildfire Resiliency Code and a resolution adopting Clean Energy Policies for Eagle County Operations. Also listed were an agreement with Apex Concrete LLC for Eagle County Regional Airport sidewalk and drain repairs, a Special Use and License Agreement with Eagle Valley Land Trust for the EVLT Trailhead at Eagle River Preserve, and a design update for the Riverhouse Community Parcel.
The agenda summary also states the board was considering several resolutions supporting or opposing specific ballot propositions and amendments; the listed items do not identify them.
A separate archived listing for the same date gives the Apex Concrete figure as $229,892.00 and includes an agreement with Early Childhood Partners for $398,800.00.
Contracts under $200,000
An Oct. 15 archived listing presented contracts signed by the county manager or a delegate for informational purposes: agreements with Chatterbox Preschool, LLC ($143,400) and Aspen Prep, LLC ($134,800) for early childhood initiatives; an agreement with The Family Learning Center for early childhood initiatives ($103,000); a purchase agreement with Professional Document Solutions for a Xerox machine for Elections ($10,671); an agreement with Starting Hearts Inc. for AED maintenance and replacement ($8,000); and a professional services agreement with Colorado Mountain Medical for Medical Director services ($14,000).
