l----'
t.
ilt.
Slopes and Plateau zoning district. To accomplish this the Applicant is proposing to add
specific uses to Table 3-502 that allow the proposed uses to support a lodge/guide
service activity. ln addition, the Applicant is proposing to modify two current definitions
related to the proposed use within Article XVl. Definitions. The specific amendments
proposed are as follows:

Resource Land-Plateau (RL-P) Zoning Districts.
Modify the definitions for "Lodging Facilities-Major" within Section 16-101 to allow on-site
recreational amenities and modify the current definition of "Outdoor Recreation,
Commercial" specifically adding hunting guide services as part of the definition for this
use.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

County. The following are some of the Goals, Objectives, and Policies that apply to this
propoied text amendment to the Unified Land Use Resolution (2008) referenced by the
item number of Section lll: Goals, Obiectives, Policies, and Programs.
3.0 Transportation. Development Proposals will be required to mitigate traffic impacts on County
Roads proportional to the development's contribution to those impacts. Mitigation
may include, but not be limited to the following:
o Physical roadwaY imProvements;
o lntersection imProvements;
o Transit amenities;
o SignageRequirements;
o Alternative traffic flow design;
o Funding mechanism to implement necessary mitigation.
. Staff review of proposed commercial and industrial development will include a
determination of the potential impacts of the project on the local transportation
system. specific issues to be addressed include the following:
o Traffic generated based on lnstitute of Traffic Engineering (lTE) rates;
o Existing traffic counts on adjacent roadways;
o The appropriateness of proposed access points;
o The compatibility with existing and future traffic on the affected roadways.
4.0 Commercial and lndustrial Uses
. To ensure that commercial and industrial developments are compatible with
adjacent land uses and mitigate impacts identified during the plan review process.
. Ensure that Zoning Regulations addressing Commercial and lndustrial uses
lv.
reflect the changing land use patterns and demographics of the County and
encourage the further diversification of the County economy.
. Ensure a commercial and industrial development policy that is environmentally
sound and acceptable to County residents and policy makers.
. The project review process will include a preliminary assessment of the projected
traffic impact associated with all commercial and industrial projects.
5.0 Recreation and Open Space
. Encourage the location of active recreational opportunities that are accessible to
County Residents.
. Access to public lands will be expanded and maintained.
. Consistent with the management objectives of either the Bureau of Land
Management or the U.S. Forest Service, development next to public lands will be
encouraged, but not required, to provide public access easements without the use
of condemnation processes.
5.0A Open Space and Trails
. To ensure that existing agricultural uses are not adversely impacted by
development approved by Garfield County;
. To ensure that wildlife habitat is a component of the review process and
reasonable mitigation measures are imposed on projects that negatively impact
critical habitat.
6.0 Aqriculture. Ensure the compatibility of development proposals with existing farms and
ranches.o Ensure that active agricultural uses are buffered from higher-intensity adjacent
USCS.
8.0 Natural Environment
. Proposed projects will be required to recognize the physical features of the land
and design projects in a manner that is compatible with the physical environment.
CONSISTENCY WITH EXISTING COUNTY REGULATIONS
As a proposed Land Use Change Permit, each "Lodging Facilities-Major" and "Sewage
Treatment Facilities" must demonstrate conformance with the applicable county and
state standards and regulations. Development standards are listed for all Land Use
Change Permits and encompass a broad range of impacts including, but not limited to,
Access and Roadways, Agricultural Land, Wildlife Habitat Areas, Wetlands and
Waterbodies, Water Quality standards, Erosion and Sedimentation, Drainage,
Stormwater Run-Off, Air Quality, Wildfire Hazards, Natural Hazards and Geologic
Hazards, Archeological, Paleontological and Historical lmportance as well as
Reclamation.
J
V.STAFF COMMENTS
The Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008 does not identify "Lodging Facilities-Major" or
"sewage Treatment Facilities" as permitted uses in the RL-GS or RL-P Zoning Districts.
The current request is to list both uses noted above in Table 3-502 as permitted with
approval of a Major lmpact Review and Limited lmpact Review respectively. This is a
logical request and may have been inadvertently omitted from the table of uses in the
Resource Land Zoning Districts with the adoption of the Unified Land Use Resolution.
Allowing the proposed uses allows for recreational opportunities related to hunting and
guide services and the potential need for related sewage treatment facilities when
iewage flows exceed 2,000 gallons per day. The applicant has proposed this text
amendment to address his needs but an additional consideration should be given to
adding "Lodging Facilities-Minor" as part of the text amendment with the requirement of a
Limited lmpact Review, to allow smaller scale lodging to occur in support of other types
of outdoor activities most appropriate for remote rural areas.
An additional staff recommendation is a refinement to the standards listed in 7-836:
Sewage Treatment Facitity and to the definition for "sewage Treatment Facilities" to be
more consistent with state requirements. All proposed text amendment language,
including staff recommended changes, will be shown in its entirety at the end of this
section.
The request also specifies removal of "sewage Disposal" from Table 3-502. lt appears
there is some misconception that "sewage Disposal" was a use placed in the table in
error and it should have been "sewage Treatment Facilities". The particular use
"sewage Disposal" should remain in Table 3-502 since land application of sludge and
sewage waste is an appropriate land use for remote rural areas where sewage is applied
to the land and then allowed to bio-remediate.
The applicant also requested some modification to definitions for "Lodging Facilities-
Major" and "Outdoor Recreation". A "Major Lodging Establishment" is:
". . . a facility catering to more than ten (10) guests or having more than
five (5) bedrooms without on-site recreational amenities".
The proposed change is to add ". . . more than five (5) bedrooms with or without on-site
recreational amenities". While there is general agreement with this change the definition
should include the nature of the on-site recreational amenity as an accessory to the
proposed use. A slight revision to the request is noted below with all proposed changes.
The final request is to modify the definition for "Outdoor Recreation, Commercial" to
specifically mention "Guide Services" which is the applicants intended use of their
property located in western Garfield County near Debeque. The current definition was
intentionally written in a broad manner to accommodate all outdoor recreational uses so
that each type of outdoor use would not need specific definitions and listing in the table
of uses. The current definition does allow for all types of outdoor recreational uses,
including hunting guide seryices, and no revision to this definition is recommended.

The text amendment is supported by the Comprehensive Plan but additional language is
proposed by staff to clarify and expand the applicant's text amendment allowing for
consistency with other sections of the ULUR and to clarify language used in the
definitions. The following changes to Table 3-502 are recommended incorporating the
proposed text amendment with the additions noted in the discussion above. Changes to
the Table 3-502 are shown in the excerpts below and are shown in bold with highlighted
text.
