Re: Text Amendment
Dear Mr. Jarman:
Please accept the following package requesting a text amendment to Zone District / Zoning
Resolution. Glenwood Caverns requests the following definition to be added under the definition
section/article:
Commercial/Recreational Facility/Park — An area or facility that provides recreation or
entertainment to the public for a fee and customary accessory uses including buildings for retail
establishment, visitor center, dining, and shelter and enclosures of persons, animals or property

This text amendment would allow Glenwood Caverns to provide employee housing on the

APPLICATION SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
This Application applies to owners of real property in Garfield County who desire to 1) amend, add, or delete
specific text in the County Zoning Resolution, and 2) amend, add, or delete text of an approved zone district
in the Zoning Resolution or an approved Planned Unit Development (PUD).
As a minimum, specifically respond to all the following items below and attach any additional information to
be submitted with this application:
1. Submit a cover letter containing a detailed narrative describing the proposed amendment to an
approved zone district including an approved Planned Unit Development (PUD) or text of the
Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended. This narrative should describe the overall purpose of
the amendment and the specific sections of the resolution are to be amended.
2. Submit a copy of the deed, legal description, and copy of the County Assessor's Map of the
real property, owned by the Applicant in Garfield County, which will be affected by such change.
3. If you are acting as an agent for the property owner, you must attach an acknowledgement
from the property owner that you may act in his/her behalf.
4. Submit payment of the $300.00 Base Fee: Applicant shall sign the "Agreement for Payment"
form and provide the fee with the application.
5. Submit 2 copies of this completed application form and all the required submittal materials to
the Building and Planning Department. Staff will request additional copies once the application
has been deemed technically complete.
II. PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
(An amendment to an approved zone district or text of the Zoning Resolution is considered a two
step process because it is first reviewed by the Planning Commission which makes a
recommendation to the Board of County Commissions. The following steps outline how the Text
Amendment application review process works in Garfield County.)
1. Submit this completed application form (pages 1-4), base fee, and all submittal requirements to
the Garfield County Planning Department. It will be received and given to a Staff Planner who
will review the application for technical completeness.
2. Once the application is deemed technically complete, the Staff Planner will send you a letter
indicating the application is complete. In addition, the letter will indicate the dates and times
scheduled for your request to be heard before the Planning Commission during a public
meeting (no notice required) and the Board of County Commissioners during a public hearing
(notice required). The Planning Commission will forward a recommendation to the Board of
County Commissioners to be considered during a properly noticed public hearing. Staff will
send you the appropriate "Public Notice Form(s)" indicating the time and date of your public
hearing and will provide you with a Staff Memorandum regarding your request. (If Staff
determines your application to be deficient, a letter will be sent to you indicating that additional
information is needed to deem your application complete.)
3. It is solely the Applicant's responsibility to ensure proper noticing occurs regarding the public
hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. If proper notice has not occurred, the
public hearing will not occur. Notice requirements are as follows:
•
a. Notice by publication, including the name of the applicant, description of the
subject lot, a description of the proposed amendment and nature of the hearing,
and the date, time and place for the hearing shall be given once in a newspaper of
general circulation in that portion of the County in which the subject property is
located at least thirty (30) but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of
such hearing, and proof of publication shall be presented at hearing by the
applicant.
4. The Applicant is required to appear before the Planning Commission and the Board of County
Commissioners at the time and date of the public meeting / hearing at which time they will
consider the request. In addition, the Applicant shall provide proof at the hearing before the
Board of County Commissioners that proper notice (publication) was provided.
5. Once the Board of County Commissioners makes a decision regarding the request, Staff will
provide the Applicant with a signed resolution memorializing the action taken by the Board.
Following the Boards' approval, this office will make the approved changes to the Zoning
Resolution.
I have read the statements above and have provided the required attached information which is
correct and accurate to • - • of my knowledge.
