DIVISION 3 -2. PURPOSES OF ZONE DISTRICTS
SECTION 3 -200. GENERAL
This Division specifies the purpose and intent of the zone districts established by these Land Use
Regulations. The zone districts have been organized into three broad classifications. These are:
(1) residential, agricultural and resource zone districts, (2) commercial and industrial zone districts, and
(3) planned unit development (PUD) district.
SECTION 3 -210. RESIDENTIAL, AGRICULTURAL AND RESOURCE ZONE DISTRICTS
A. Residential Multi- Family (RAM. The purpose of the Residential Multi- Family (RMF) zone
district is to provide for higher density residential development within the County's community
centers, where transportation facilities, necessary infrastructure and employment opportunities are
already available. This is accomplished by permitting development of single - family, duplex and
multi - family residences on lots of six thousand (6,000) square feet or larger and by setting
maximum lot coverage and maximum floor area standards appropriate for such uses and lots. The
zone district also permits the development of small, convenience -type commercial uses to serve
the neighborhood.
B. Residential Suburban Medium Density (RSM). The purpose of the Residential Suburban
Medium Density (RSM) zone district is to provide for moderate density residential development
within the County's community centers, where transportation facilities, necessary infrastructure
and employment opportunities are already available. This is accomplished by permitting
development of single - family, duplex and multi - family residences on lots of eight thousand (8,000)
square feet or larger and by setting maximum lot coverage and maximum floor area standards
appropriate for such uses and lots. The zone district also permits the development of small,
convenience -type commercial uses to serve the neighborhood.
C. Residential Suburban Low Density (RSL). The purpose of the Residential Suburban Low
Density (RSL) zone district is to provide for relatively low density residential neighborhoods within
and at the periphery of the County's community centers and rural centers. This is accomplished

by permitting development of single - family, duplex and mulii- family residences on lots of fifteen
thousand (15,000) square feet or larger and by setting standards that limit the maximum lot
coverage and maximum floor area of structures.
D. Rural Residential (RR). The purpose of the Rural Residential (RR) zone district is to serve as
a transition area between the denser development found in towns, community centers and rural
centers and the lower densities found in the County's agricultural and resource areas. This is
accomplished by permitting development of single - family dwelling units on lots of two (2) acres
or more, or by encouraging clustered development on smaller lots within those portions of a
property that do not contain environmental resources or natural hazard areas and by maintaining
the remainder of the property as common open space or agricultural land.
E. Agricultural Limited (AL). The purpose of the Agricultural Limited (AL) zone district is to
maintain the rural character of areas outside of the County's towns, community centers, rural
centers and resorts, while allowing for some appropriate residential development. This is
accomplished by permitting development of single - family dwelling units on relatively larger lots
of five (5) acres or more, or by encouraging clustered development on smaller lots within those
portions of a property that do not contain environmental resources or natural hazard areas and by
maintaining the remainder of the property as common open space or agricultural land.
F. Agricultural Residential (AR). The purpose of the Agricultural Residential (AR) zone district
is to maintain the rural character of outlying areas of Eagle County, while allowing for compatible
low density residential development. This is accomplished by permitting development of single -
family dwelling units on relatively larger lots of ten (10) acres or more, or by encouraging
clustered development on smaller lots within those portions of a property that do not contain
environmental resources or natural hazard areas and by maintaining the remainder of the property
as common open space or agricultural land.
G. Resource Limited (RL). The purpose of the Resource Limited (RL) zone district is to protect
areas of Eagle County that contain valued natural resources and agricultural uses, while allowing
some relatively low density development to occur. This is accomplished by permitting
development of single - family dwelling units on relatively larger lots of twenty (20) acres or more,
or by encouraging clustered development on smaller lots within those portions of a property that
do not contain environmental resources or natural hazard areas and by maintaining the remainder
of the property as common open space or agricultural land.
H. Resource (R). The purpose of the Resource (R) zone district is to maintain the open rural
character of Eagle County and to protect and enhance the appropriate use of natural resources and
agricultural uses in the County including water, minerals, fiber and open land. This is
accomplished by limiting residential development to very low density single - family uses on lots of
thirty -five (35) acres or larger, or by encouraging clustered development on smaller lots within
those portions of a property that do not contain environmental resources or natural hazard areas
and by maintaining the remainder of the property as common open space or ranch land, and by
limiting new commercial development to uses that have a resource orientation and to small
recreation areas that comply with Master Plan policies for such uses.

subdivisions, by permitting development to be concentrated into one (1) or more limited
portions of the entire land area, so the development can avoid those portions of the
property that provide valued environmental resources or are subject to natural hazards.
This is accomplished by allowing applicants to subdivide lots that are smaller than the
minimum required lot size in the underlying zone district and by permitting the density
allowed on the entire property to be transferred to these lots, while the remainder of the
property is retained in common open space for the benefit of the residents.
2. Cluster Development Options. This section provides for two (2) cluster development
options that offer the applicant the opportunity to design a development that deviates from
certain dimensional standards of the underlying zone district, as specified herein. These
two options are summarized in Table 3 -310 B., Dimensional Standards for Cluster
Development Options, and can be further described as follows.
a. Cluster Development Option A. Cluster Development Option A permits an
applicant to create lots that are smaller than the minimum required lot area in the
underlying zone district, if the total number of dwelling units that are developed
on the property does not exceed that permitted in the underlying zone district.
b. Cluster Development Option B. Cluster Development Option B permits an
applicant to create lots that are smaller than the minimum required lot area in the
underlying zone district, and also offers applicants a density bonus as shown in
Table 3 -310 B., Dimensional Standards for Cluster Development Options.

DIVISION 4 -1. OFF - STREET PARKING AND LOADING STANDARDS
SECTION 4 -100. PURPOSE
This Division establishes parking standards for land uses within unincorporated portions of Eagle County.
The standards are intended to lessen congestion on streets, to ensure an adequate supply of parking spaces
within a reasonable distance of land uses and to provide standards for the design and use of required
parking areas.
SECTION 4 -110. . APPLICABILITY
The standards of this Division shall apply to all development, including new uses, expansion of existing
uses and the change of use ofland or structures.
SECTION 4 -120. NUMBER OF REQUIRED PARKING AND LOADING SPACES
_. A. Off - Street Parking Required. All uses shall be required to provide that number of off - street
J parking spaces which complies with the standards set forth in Table 4 -120, "Minimum Off - Street
Parking Standards For Each Use ".
1. Multiple Uses. If two (2) or more principal uses occupy a single parcel or structure, the
number of required off - street parking spaces for the parcel or structure shall be the
additive total for each principal use of the parcel or structure.
2. Shared Parking or Loading Areas. No parking or loading area that is required by these
Land Use Regulations shall be a required parking or loading area for another use, unless
it can be shown that the peak use periods for required parking or loading areas for two (2)
or more uses located on the same or adjoining sites will not overlap with one another.
Upon the presentation of satisfactory evidence by the applicant that such shared use will
not result in a shortage of parking at any time, the Community Development Director may
approve a shared use arrangement for said parking or loading area and may reduce the
number of off - street parking spaces by up to twenty (20) percent of the total required for
all uses.
3. Required Fractional Spaces. When any calculation of the number of required off - street
parking spaces results in a fractional space being required, such fraction shall be rounded
up to the next higher number of spaces.

at regularly spaced intervals along the streets within the subdivision and
landscaping should be planted within or around any parks or usable open space
areas in the subdivision. Where units are developed in clusters, landscaping
should also be provided around clusters of units, to create a buffer between denser
clusters and lower density and open areas. For developments that contain lots
larger than two (2) acres, landscaping should include preservation or replacement
of existing trees, shrubs and ground cover and revegetation of areas that are
disturbed by development.
2. Living Cover. All required landscape areas shall be landscaped. Non -live ground cover
may include decorative gravel, bark mulch, river rock or similar materials. Decorative
elements, such as walks, decks, terraces, water features and similar features, may be
provided. The percent of live ground cover verses non -live ground cover should be
determined by the geographic area of the County.
3. Plants Compatible With Local Conditions. All plants used for landscaping shall be
compatible with the local climate and the soils, drainage and water conditions of the site.
When planting occurs on hillsides, slopes, drainageways or similar natural areas, plant
material should duplicate adjacent plant communities both in species composition and

SECTION 4 -250 ILLUMINATION STANDARDS
A. Purpose. This section establishes standards for controlling illumination to prevent intense glare
or direct illumination that would create a nuisance, detract from the use or enjoyment of adjoining
property or cause traffic hazards to motorists.
B. Standards. Exterior illumination shall not cast glare directly onto adjacent properties. Low
Pressure Sodium (LPS) lamps are the preferred illumination source but other sources can be
considered depending upon the filtering, shielding, height and number of sources. Mercury vapor
lamps are discouraged. Street lights used for illumination of public ways are encouraged to be 20
feet or less in height. Outdoor lighting used for decorative effects (architectural illumination, flag
and monument lighting, illumination of trees, bushes, etc.) should be located, aimed, or shielded
so as to minimize stray light trespassing across property boundaries.

SECTION 4 -420. DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS SUBJECT TO GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
A. Purpose. There are certain types of lands in Eagle. County that have the potential to pose hazards
to human life and safety and to property due to their geologic characteristics. These lands include,
but are not limited to, steep slopes, avalanche hazard areas, rockfall hazard areas, landslides,
debris fans, talus slopes, areas containing expansive soils and rocks, and areas susceptible to
ground subsidence. Development in certain of these hazard areas also has the potential to cause
significant impacts on the environment, including loss of soil and vegetation cover, which can
cause increased runoff and consequent erosion and sedimentation.

(a) Site Specific Analysis. A site specific analysis of the property
that depicts the locations of geologic hazards regulated by this
Section in relation to planned development areas. The map shall
also provide an accurate survey depiction, at two (2) foot contour
intervals, of those portions of the property that contain slopes in
excess of thirty (30) percent.
(b) Impact Evaluation. An evaluation of the potential impacts of the
geologic hazards on the proposed development and on any
property surrounding the subject property. This shall include an
evaluation of any recent activity associated with the geologic
hazards and shall provide an expert opinion as to the degree of
severity of the potential geologic hazards.
(c) Slope Development. Development subject to this Section 4-
420, Development in Areas Subject to Geologic Hazards sloping
in excess of thirty (30) percent shall be evaluated based on the
following:
i) The effect of slope characteristics on density or
minimum lot size. According to the slope
characteristics, the allowable density shall be decreased
and /or the minimum lot size shall be increased, for all
development within the RSL, RSM, RMF, CL, CG, I,
and RC Zone Districts .
The determination of lot slope for proposed lots in the
RSL, RSM and RMF, CL, CG, I, RC and PUD zone
districts to establish the permitted density, or minimum
lot size shall be made on an individual lot basis using the
standard method. The standard method calculation is the
gradient of the undisturbed land surface of a lot which
shall be established by measuring the maximum number
of feet in elevation gained or lost between lot lines. This
relationship of vertical measurement divided by the
horizontal measurement shall be expressed as a
percentile.
ii) Procedure 1 - Conventional Subdivision. A standard
rule of five hundred (500) sq. ft. of lot area per
percentage point of lot slope shall be used to determine
the permitted density or minimum lot size of development
within the RSL, RSM, RMF, CL, CG, I, and RC zones.
For example, the minimum lot area per dwelling unit
allowed on land sloping thirty-five (35) percent is 1

but not be limited to covenants, deed restrictions and financial guarantees,
as approved by the County Attorney and as accepted by the Board of
County Commissioners. For developments that do not require a final plat,
this information shall be provided with the preliminary plan.
2. Review by County. The County shall review the application and visual analysis to
determine whether there is potential visual impact to the ridgelines contained within the
areas mapped on the Ridgeline Protection Map. It is the intent that development subject
to this Section 4 -450, Ridgeline Protection, be located in such a manner that it does not
appear to penetrate above the crest of a ridge whereby the proposed development has no
backdrop and penetrates the skyline, as viewed from I -70.

review process.
SECTION 4 -460. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
A. Purpose. The purpose of an Environmental Impact Report is to provide complete information on
the environmental effects of proposed development to the County Commissioners, the Planning
Commission and the general public. In addition, the purpose is to ensure that long term protection
of the environment is a criterion to be considered in planning, and that development decisions, both
public and private, take into account the relative merits of possible alternative actions. This is
accomplished by, providing procedures for review and evaluation of the environmental effects of
proposed projects prior to granting of permits or other authorizations for commencement of
development.
B. Applicability
Unless exempted by Subsection 4-460 D. Exemptions, an Environmental Impact Report is required
for applications of subdivision, special use, or PUD that may significantly affect the environment,
either during construction or an a continuing basis.
C. Application and Review. The Environmental Impact Report shall accompany the initial
application submittal for the development proposal. Any subsequent submittal shall include the
Environmental Impact report and reflect any revisions or additional information requested by either
the Community Development Director, the Planning Commission or Board of County
Commissioners.
D. Exemptions. An Environmental Impact Report shall not be required when a phase of a
development for which an Environmental Impact Report was previously submitted and reviewed
covering all phases of the entire development, provided that the development was approved
originally and not subsequently altered in any material respect.
E. Report Contents.
1. Environmental Impact Report. The Environmental Impact Report shall contain
information and analysis, in sufficient detail and adequately supported by technical studies,
to enable the Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to judge the
environmental impact of the proposal and to judge measures proposed to reduce or negate
any harmful or undesirable environmental impacts. The Community Development
Director, Planning Commission and or County Commissioners may require submission of
information in addition to that listed in this section. The Environmental Impact Report
shall include all necessary information to adequately address the specific Environmental
Conditions (Section 4 -460 E.2.) affected.

ARMTE 4: STFE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4 -600 PURPOSE
DIVISION 4 -6. IMPROVEMENTS STANDARDS
SECTION 4 -600. PURPOSE
This Division sets forth the minimum design criteria and standards for infrastructure development in
unincorporated Eagle County. The criteria and standards are intended to protect and promote the public
health, safety and welfare of the residents and visitors of Eagle County.
SECTION 4 -610 APPLICABILITY
A. General. Improvements and their appurtenances within unincorporated Eagle County shall be
planned and designed in compliance with this Division. These standards shall apply to all
development that occurs within unincorporated Eagle County.
1. Minimum Requirements. The designer should be aware that whenever unusual or
complex circumstances are anticipated in conjunction with a proposed development,
additional information or analysis beyond the minimums set forth herein may be required
by the County Engineer.
2. Standards Are Not Inflexible. These design criteria and standards provide a certain level
of performance, however, they are not inflexible. If an alternate design, procedure, or
material can be shown to provide performance and /or environmental sensitivity which
reflects community values equal to or better than that established by these standards, said
alternative may be recommended for approval by the County Engineer. In evaluating the
proposed alternate the County Engineer shall follow the procedures in Section 5- 260.G.,
Variance From Improvement Standards. The County Engineer's evaluation shall consider
whether the alternative will provide for an equivalent level of public safety and whether
the alternative will be equally durable so that normally anticipated user and maintenance
costs will not be increased.
B. Plans Shall Be Prepared By Professional Engineer. All plans, reports and specifications for
development or redevelopment of improvements addressed within this Division shall be prepared
by, or under the direct supervision of, a Professional Engineer, licensed in the State of Colorado.
Final public improvement plans, reports and specifications shall bear the seal and signature of the
Professional Engineer responsible for their preparation.
C. Public Improvements Guarantee. Applicable public improvements shall be guaranteed pursuant
to Section 5 -240, Planned Unit Development (PUD) District, Section 5 -250, Special Uses, Section
5 -280, Subdivision, or Section 5 -290, Minor Subdivision.
SECTION 4 -620 ROADWAY STANDARDS

arterial corridors in the County, to protect the country road ambience enjoyed and desired by
residents and visitors alike, and to allow for maximum creativity of the designer in achieving these
goals. These standards provide the designer the means of designing and constructing or
reconstructing improvements and other infrastructure that offers maximum convenience to the user
at minimum cost, both initially at the time of construction and in the future during maintenance,
while also providing for basic safety and functional needs to ensure adequate access to all
properties for fire, police and other vital services, on a system of roads that is experiencing
increasing use.
B. Consistency With Other Standards. These Roadway Standards are generally consistent with the
recommendations of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) and those of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). These standards also
reflect the guidelines and recommendations of the Colorado Department of Transportation
(CDOT), Transportation Research Board (TRB), United States Forest Service (USFS), National
Park Service (NPS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD), and others. If there is a difference in the standards set forth in this Division
and those referenced in any manual referenced in this Division, then the standards set forth in this
Division shall govern.
1. Conformance With Colorado Highway Commission Standards. C.R.S. § 43 -2 -114
states that the general standards for county primary roads shall be those adopted by the
Transportation Commission for the state highway system for the corresponding class of
county road in the state highway system. The Colorado Highway Commission adopted
and approved said standards by Resolution No. 2297 -D on June 20, 1991. The 1991
Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction identified in that Resolution
incorporates the 1990 Roadway- Design Manual, published by CDOT, and also
incorporates the geometric design standards of AASHTO. The County road improvement
standards that are contained herein are intended to be in conformance with AASHTO.
2. Conformance With 1990 Road Design Manual. The County road improvement
standards presented herein are intended to apply to roadways having or projected to have
traffic volumes of three thousand (3,000) vehicles per day or less.
a. Roads Having Greater Volumes. The design of any roadway having, or
projected to have, a volume of traffic greater than three thousand (3,000) vehicles
per day shall be in compliance with the 1990 Roadway Design Manual, Sections
100 through 1000, inclusive. The design for such roadways shall also consider
such other pertinent factors as are identified by the County Engineer, including,
but not necessarily limited to, greater setbacks for noise buffering; climbing lanes;
paved shoulders for ease of maintenance, safety and for non - motorized use for
bicycles and pedestrians; acceleration/deceleration turn lanes; greater access
control to protect the roadway's carrying capacity; and curve widening based on
truck traffic.
b. Local Roads. Local roads are defined in the 1990 Roadway Design Manual as

roads primarily for access to a residence, business, or abutting property. Their
design is addressed in Section 1100 of the Design Manual. The County
improvement standards also accommodate lesser design criteria. The alternate
standards for off system and low volume roads are in conformance with the
minimum criteria presented in AASHTO's 1994 A Policy on GeomaUj Design
of Highways and Streets. The alternate standards are envisioned to cover both
construction and reconstruction of roads and to recognize the importance of sight
distance as a safety requirement in the construction or reconstruction of roads.
C. Functional Classifications Under ISTEA. The functional classifications contained herein are
meant to compliment and supplement the Highway Functional Classifications used by the U.S.
Department of Transportation. Under the Intermodal Surface and Transportation Efficiency Act
(ISTEA), enacted in 1991, all higher category roads in the United States were classified. In Eagle
County the classifications under ISTEA are as follows:
1. Principal Arterials, Interstate. I -70 is the only principal interstate arterial in
unincorporated Eagle County.
2. Principal Arterials, Other Freeways or Expressways. There are no freeways or
expressways in unincorporated Eagle County.
3. Other Principal Arterials. Highway 82 is the only other principal arterial in
unincorporated Eagle County,
4. Minor Arterials. Highway 24 and Highway 131 are the only minor arterials in
unincorporated Eagle County.
5. Major Collectors. The major collectors in unincorporated Eagle County are Highway 6,
Brush Creek Road, Cottonwood, Pass Road including Gypsum Creek Road connecting to
Highway 6 in Gypsum, Fryingpan Road and Trough Road.
6. Minor Collectors. The minor collectors in unincorporated Eagle County are Colorado
River Road, Cooley Mesa Road, Deep Creek Road, El Jebel Road /Upper Cattle Creek
Road, Gypsum Creek Road, Homestake Road, and Sweetwater Road.
7. Local Roads. All other roads in unincorporated Eagle County are classified as local roads.
D. Functional Classifications By County. In addition to the road classifications under ISTEA, Eagle
County classifies other roads in the county as Major and Minor Collector Roads, both Rural and
Urban, due to their functional characteristics as defined by AASHTO. The user of these
Improvement Standards may, therefore, find a dual classification for some Eagle County roads.
For administrative and design purposes, roads shall be classified as shown in Appendix _,
Classification of Roads in Eagle County. Roads within the jurisdiction of unincorporated Eagle
County are classified as follows:

ARTICLE 4 • SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4-620 ROADWAY STANDARDS
1. Rural Major Collectors. Rural major collectors serve as inter- county and intra -county
routes in Resource zone districts that handle traffic volumes of up to three thousand
(3,000) vehicles per day and more as they pass through urban and suburban areas. The
lengths of such roads are generally significant in extent. Surfaces can be either gravel or
pavement, as dictated by traffic volumes. Design and posted speeds range from thirty (30)
to sixty (60) mph. On- street parking on such roads is prohibited and off - street parking
must be specifically provided for. Access is regulated and intersection spacing is at least
one -half (0.5) mile. Traffic noise from such roads on adjacent uses may be mitigated.
2. Rural Minor Collectors. Rural minor collectors serve as intra -county roads of moderate
length connecting residential areas to commercial and industrial areas, and to major
collectors in Resource zone districts that handle traffic volumes up to four hundred (400)
vehicles per day. They may also traverse considerable distance. Design and posted speeds
range from twenty (20) to forty (40) mph, depending upon terrain. Surfaces are treated
gravel or pavement, depending on traffic volumes. Access to adjacent properties is limited
and may require turn lanes, depending on traffic volumes. Intersection spacing ranges
from six hundred (600) feet when design speeds are at or above thirty -five (35) mph, to
three hundred (300) feet at design speeds below thirty -five (35) mph. On- street parking
on such roads is prohibited and off - street parking must be specifically provided for.
3. Rural Access Roads. Rural access roads are country in nature, access ranch areas or
public lands in Resource zone districts that handle a very low volume of traffic (less than
fifty [50] vehicles per day) on gravel or dirt surface roads. Design and posted speeds
range from fifteen (15) to twenty-five (25) mph, depending upon terrain. Though tangent
sections are narrow, curves are widened generously to accommodate recreational vehicles,
particularly if they are towing another vehicle, or to accommodate logging trucks.
Turnouts are provided as terrain permits, however, the maximum spacing on turnouts
should not exceed one-half (0.5) mile.
4. Rural Residential Roads. Rural residential roads generally serve development that has
not been clustered in the Resource Limited (RL), Agricultural Residential (AR),
Agricultural Limited (AL), and Rural Residential (RR) zone districts. Rural residential
roads include rural residential collector roads and internal rural residential roads.
a. Rural Residential Collector Roads. Rural residential collector roads are
generally moderate in length (less than four [4] miles) and handle traffic volumes
of less than 3,000 vehicles per day. These roads serve as a transition between
higher classification roads and the associated residential area. Direct lot access
is generally discouraged, and requires specific approval by the County Engineer.
Design and posted speeds are generally terrain dependent and relatively low, in
the range of twenty -five (25) to thirty-five (35) mph.
b. Internal Rural Residential Roads. Internal rural residential roads generally have
lot frontages of greater than two hundred (200) feet and handle traffic volume of
less than two hundred -fifty (250) vehicles per day. Paved roads with side ditches

and culverts generally serve well for these roads. Paths or sidewalks are not
generally provided and on street parking is prohibited. Design speeds range from
twenty (20) to thirty (30) mph.
5. Suburban Residential Roads. Suburban residential roads serve development that has not
been clustered in the Residential Suburban Low Density (RSL) and Residential Suburban
Medium Density (RSM) zone districts. Suburban residential roads include suburban
residential collector roads and internal suburban residential roads.
a. Suburban Residential Collectors. Suburban residential collectors are generally
short in length (less than one [1] mile) and handle traffic volumes of less than three
thousand (3,000) vehicles per day. Design speeds vary from twenty (20) to thirty
(30) mph, dependent upon terrain, and direct residential lot access is prohibited.
Extensive berming and planting are generally necessary along these roads to
provide a buffer between traffic and residents. Suburban residential collectors
shall have detached paths and transit facilities may be required as part of the street
system. Attached paths are permitted where terrain mandates such designs. On
street parking shall be prohibited.
b. Internal Suburban Residential Roads. Internal suburban residential roads are
shorts roads, with lengths of less than one -half (0.5) mile road whose segments
are encouraged to be discontinuous so the internal roads do not function as
collectors. They have design and posted speeds between twenty (20) and thirty
(30) mph. Lot frontages are generally between seventy-five (75) feet and one
hundred - twenty-five (125) feet. Paved roads with curb and gutter and sidewalks
or an extensive paved path system are required. Intersection spacing may range
down to three hundred (300) feet.
6. Urban Residential Roads. Urban residential roads are generally associated with
Residential Multiple Family (RMF) and Planned Unit Development (PUD) zone districts
having an urban density.
a. Urban Residential Collectors. Urban residential collectors are generally very
short in length (less than one half [0.5] mile) and handle traffic volumes of less
than three thousand (3,000) vehicles per day. They serve to feed traffic into the
heart of the associated residential area and serve as a section of road for turn lanes
and vehicle stacking when exiting the area.' Direct access onto such roads is
prohibited. Design and posted speeds vary from twenty (20) to thirty (30) mph.
Berming and planting with detached sidewalks and curb and gutter shall be
required.
b. Internal Urban Residential Roads. Internal urban residential roads are very
short in length (less than one half [0.5] mile) and handle traffic volumes of less
than seven hundred -fifty (750) vehicles per day. The segments of these roads are
encouraged to be discontinuous so they do not function as collectors. These roads

are paved with curb and gutter and detached sidewalks are required (paths are not
an acceptable substitute). Off - street parking shall be provided and on- street
parking shall be prohibited. Transit facilities are required as part of the street
system.
Commercial Roads. Commercial roads serve Commercial Limited (CL) and Commercial
General (CG) zoning. Curb and gutter and attached or detached sidewalks are required.
Design speed would be twenty-five (25) mph. Off - street parking is typically required,
however, on- street parking may instead be appropriate where there are lower traffic
volumes. Transit facilities are required as part of the street system, as are street lighting
and design features that accommodate pedestrians. The design of commercial roads shall
consider intersection sight distance, separation of driveways from intersections, the need
for intersection turn lanes, the special needs of single and multi -unit delivery trucks and
general traffic movement efficiencies.
8. Industrial Roads. Industrial roads serve Industrial (I) zoning. Curb and gutter and
attached or detached sidewalks are required, as is off - street parking. Design speed is
twenty-five (25) mph. The design of industrial roads shall also consider the special needs
of single and multi -unit truck operations and provide intersection and driveway sight
distances that are large to allow for the greater time it takes these trucks to enter a
roadway.
9. Cul -De -Sacs And Turnarounds. Cul -de -sacs and turnarounds serve dead end residential
roads or streets that do not exceed one - thousand (1,000) feet in length.
a. Maximum Number of Dwelling Units Served. Cul -de -sacs or turnarounds
should not serve more than twenty (20) residential units. Due to mountainous
terrain, it may be necessary to have dead end roads which exceed 1,000 feet in
length or service more than twenty (20) residential units. In such instances,
adequate turnarounds should be provided.
b. Year -Round Access Required. Cul -de -sacs and turnarounds will only be
considered in those cases where year -round access can be assured by virtue of
minimum grades and flatter curvature.
C. Preferred Design. Circular offset cul -de -sacs are preferred, as illustrated in
Figure V -1 of A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND
STREETS, 1994, published by AASHTO. Cul -de -sacs may also terminate in a
"T" or "L" as illustrated in the above - referenced Figure V -1.
d. Minimum Standards for Radii. Cul -de -sacs serving less than ten (10) residential
units shall have a minimum thirty (30) foot radius bulb at the end. Cul -de -sacs
serving ten (10) or more residential units shall have a minimum forty (40) foot
radius bulb at the end. These minimum bulb radii presume the cul -de -sac is
bordered by mountable curb or a four foot aggregate base course shoulder. In the

u> event that the cul -de -sac is bordered by a barrier curb, then five (5) feet shall be
added to the previously stated minimum radii.
e. Temporary Cul -De -Sacs. Temporary cul -de -sacs or turnarounds may serve any
classification of road, as determined by the County Engineer, to accommodate
continuation of the road to adjoining properties when they are developed. These
temporary cul -de -sacs or turnarounds must accommodate WB -12 design vehicles,
and must be clearly identified as dead end streets through proper signage, in
accordance with the MUTCD.
f. Non - Motorized Links. When cul -de -sacs are incorporated in a residential
development, applicants are encouraged to provide non - motorized links between
cul -de -sacs, which shall be credited towards any applicable requirements for open
space or trails for the development.
E. Traffic Impact Study. Proposed developments that are expected to generate more than four
hundred (400) vehicle trips per day shall conduct a traffic impact analysis to determine the need
for additional improvements on roadways affected by the proposed development.
1. Trip Generation Rates. The basis for projected volumes of traffic shall be the trip
generation rates for various land use categories found in the latest edition of TRIP
GENERATION, published by ITE.
2. Background Traffic Data Not Available. If site specific information on background
traffic for the study area is not available, considering existing zoning, then the Twenty (20)
Year Factor for the closest segment of State Highway published by CDOT, Division of
Transportation Development, Information Management Branch, shall be used to predict
background traffic to be factored into the traffic analysis. In certain instances it may be
necessary to use a combination of existing zoning and CDOT's Twenty (20) Year Factor.
3. Preparation of Analysis. The traffic analysis shall be prepared using industry accepted
standards and practices. It shall be prepared by a Professional Engineer competent in the
field of transportation engineering, and shall include such information as current and
projected background traffic volumes, projected development traffic volumes, calculated
capacity and level of service of existing and proposed roadways and intersections affected
by the development, including warrants for turn lanes, channelization and signalization.
F. Design Traffic Volume and Design Period. Key factors in the classification and design of any
roadway are the amount (and type) of traffic that the roadway is expected to carry and the time
period for forecasting traffic volumes on the roadway.
1. Design Traffic Volume. Design traffic volume shall be measured as annual average daily
traffic (AADT), except for traffic volumes in excess of four hundred (400) AADT, which
shall use the peak hour design hourly volume (DHV) as the basis for the design period.

AR7ICLE4 SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARD 4 -620. ROADWAY STANDARDS
2. Design Period. The design period for the design of new and upgraded roadways shall be
twenty (20) years from the forecasted date of completion of the project.
G. Level Of Service. Roadways in unincorporated Eagle County shall function at Level of Service
"C" or better. Intersections, both signalized and un- signalized, in unincorporated Eagle County
shall function at Level of Service "D" or better. For purposes of this evaluation, these Levels of
Service shall be as defined in the latest edition of the HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL,
published by the Transportation Research Board. The methodology for computing the Level of
Service shall be as specified in the latest edition of the HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL.
H. Right -Of -Way Width. Minimum right -of -way widths for all classifications of roadways in Eagle
County are shown in Table 4 -620 J., Summary Of Environmental Geometric And Design
Standards. Sufficient right -of -way shall be provided to contain: travel lanes or driving surfaces;
curb and gutter, when required; shoulders, drainage side ditches and other structures, when curb
and gutter is not required; provisions for snow storage, particularly at higher elevations; utilities;
facilities for bicycles and pedestrians, when required; cut and fill slopes and /or retaining walls;
and, as applicable, future improvements of the roadway..
1. Additional Right -of -Way for Rolling and Mountainous Terrain. The right -of -way
widths set forth in Table 4 -620 J., Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design
Standards, are the minimum necessary to accommodate roadway construction on level
terrain. Additional right -of -way shall be provided to accommodate cuts and fills in rolling
and mountainous terrain, considering that the roadway and associated slopes are a
structure and should be structurally independent of development on adjacent property. The
additional right -of -way for cuts and. fills and their buffers may be in the form of a
dedicated roadway maintenance easement.
2. Setbacks. Setbacks for structures, as established in these Land Use Regulations, shall be
measured from the outside edge of the roadway maintenance easement.
I. Sight Distance.
1. Compliance With AASHTO Manual. In the design and construction or reconstruction
of roadways in unincorporated Eagle County, sight distance shall be provided that
complies with the latest edition of A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF
HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter III, published by AASHTO. Roadways that
operate at functional classifications higher than residential or other low speed urban streets
shall also provide sufficient sight distance to allow drivers to occupy the opposing traffic
lane while passing slower vehicles without hazard to themselves or others.
2. Design Considerations. The greatest impact of providing sufficient sight distance will
likely be on the vertical alignment of the roadway. However, horizontal alignment may
also be affected by requiring flatter curves, in order to avoid sight obstructions due to
terrain, vegetation, or man made features. Roadway design shall take into account the
following design considerations:

ARTICLE 4, SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4 -620. ROADWAY STANDARDS
a. Sight Distance Restrictions. Where an object off the roadway and within the
right -of -way such as a guardrail, cut slope, or natural growth restricts sight
distance, the minimum radius of horizontal curvature shall be determined by the
stopping sight distance.
b. No Sight Distance Restrictions. Where there is no sight distance restriction
within the right -of -way, the right -of -way line shall be considered to be the
restriction. The necessary stopping sight distance on such horizontal curves may
be determined with the aid of Figure 4 -620 #1, Stopping Sight Distance On
Horizontal Curves. When the design speed and clear distance (M) are known, this
figure also provides the minimum centerline radius that satisfies these conditions.
C. Sight Distance Restrictions At End of Downgrades. Where sight distance
restrictions occur at the end of downgrades, an increase shall be made in the
stopping sight distance in accordance with the values listed in the latest edition of
A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS,
Chapter III, Table III -2, published by AASHTO.
d. Sight Distance For Passing. Sight distance adequate for passing should be
encountered frequently, at regular intervals. On roadways with high volumes,
frequent and long passing sections are essential. On roadways with intermediate
to low volumes, the need is not as great, but passing sections are still an important
element for efficiency and safety. Passing sight distance for upgrades shall be
greater than the derived minimum.
e. Meeting Sight Distance. Meeting sight distance is the sum of the opposing
stopping sight distances, or two (2) times the values listed for the various design
speeds. Meeting sight distance is encouraged on narrow, low volume roads.
J. Geometric Standards. All roads within unincorporated Eagle County, whether publicly or
privately maintained, shall conform to the design standards and requirements shown in Table 4-
620.7., Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards.

2. Determination of sufficiency, review and decision. After receipt of an application
requesting a Certificate of Conformity, the Community Development Director shall
determine whether it is complete within ten (10) working days. If it is determined the
application is not complete, notice shall be served on the applicant specifying the
deficiencies. The Community Development Director shall take no further action on the
application unless the deficiencies are remedied. Within twenty (20) working days after
the application is determined to be complete, the Community Development Director shall
review and grant, grant with conditions, or disapprove the application, pursuant to the
standards established in Section 6- 130.C., Standards.
3. When Eagle County is the condemnor (or purchaser in lieu of condemnation), it shall
apply for a Certificate of Conformity before or concurrently with the acquisition.
C. Standards. An application requesting a Certificate of Conformity shall be granted if the following
standards are met.
1. Minimization of business and severance damage. If the condemnation action has not
been decided by a court of law, the amount of severance and business damages resulting
from the eminent domain proceedings are substantial, and the loss of business damages
would be minimized by the issuance of a Certificate of Conformity;
2. Site plan that minimizes nonconformities while ensuring compatibility. A site plan can
be designed for the land that is consistent with the use requirements of these Land Use
Regulations, and minimizes to the greatest degree practicable any nonconformities of
parking, loading, landscaping, lot size, and yard requirements; and
3. Function adequately. The structure or lot can function adequately for its designated land
use pursuant to the site plan.

ARTICLE 6.• NONCONFORMITIES 6 -120. NONCOMFORMING LOTS OF RECORD
SECTION 6 -120 NONCONFORMING LOTS OF RECORD
A. General. Where a legal lot of record has an area or frontage that does'not conform to the standards
of these Land Use Regulations, but it was a legal lot of record on (the effective date of these Land
Use Regulations), such lot or parcel of land may be developed, provided it is not a contiguous lot
under common ownership as defined in Section 6- 120.B., Contiguous Parcels Under Single
Ownership, and the minimum yard standards for the zone district in which it is located are met or
a variance from these standards is obtained pursuant to Section 5 -260, Variances.
1. Minimum Use Allowed. In all instances, and except for a contiguous lot under single
ownership, this Section shall be interpreted to allow one (1) single family dwelling unit to
be located on a nonconforming legal lot of record, and in the Resource (R) Zone District
only, to allow a nonconforming legal lot of record to maintain those agricultural uses that
are allowed uses in that zone district.
2. Other Uses. In all zone districts, except for the Fulford Historical (FH) and Backcountry
(BC) zone districts, this Section shall be interpreted to allow the owner of a nonconforming
lot of record to apply, pursuant to Section 5 -250, Special Uses, for any other use that is
allowed, allowed by limited review, or allowed by special review, in the applicable
underlying zone district.
B. Contiguous Parcels Under Single Ownership. Any two (2) or more contiguous parcels of land
under single ownership shall constitute a single lot which cannot be subdivided without the prior
approval of Eagle County, as prescribed in these Regulations.
1. Division is a Subdivision. In the event that two (2) or more contiguous lots, previously
separately conveyed or described, shall come under single ownership, regardless of
diverse times of acquisition by the single owner and whether or not the property was
acquired prior to the effective date of these Regulations, the division of such land into two
(2) or more lots, separate interests, interests in common or other division, even if divided
along the line(s) of a previously described or conveyed lot(s), shall constitute a subdivision
of land.
2. Limits to Applicability. Nothing herein shall be deemed to apply (a) in the Fulford
Historical Zone District, or (b) to a lot shown on any recorded subdivision plat if such
subdivision has been approved and signed by the Board of County Commissioners, or (c)
to a legal lot of record which conformed to the applicable zoning standards at the time the
single ownership came into being or, if later, when zoning first applied to the lot (October
19, 1974). This Section 6- 120.B. applies only when the single ownership of the
contiguous lots existed on, or at any time after, October 19, 1974.
3. Compliance With Standards Required. No portion of such a lot shall be used or sold
that does not meet the standards of these Regulations, nor shall any division of the lot be
made which leaves remaining any lot that does not meet the standards of these Regulations.

ARTICLE 6: NONCONFORMITIES 6 -130. EMINENTDOMAINPROCEEDINGS
4. Single Ownership. "Single ownership" shall refer to the fee owner(s) of the lots in
question, and shall mean ownership by the same person(s). In considering the issue of
single ownership, consideration shall be given to whether, based on the available facts, any
transfer of ownership or execution of contract was not bona fide, but was done for the
purpose of evading the requirements of this section.
5. Effect of Regulation. This Section 6- 120.B. is not intended to and does not make legal
any previous illegal subdivision of land.
SECTION 6 -130 NONCONFORMITIES CREATED BY EMINENT DOMAIN
PROCEEDINGS
A. Authority to gain certificate of conformity. A lot that is rendered or will be rendered
nonconforming because of eminent domain proceedings, or by sale under the threat of eminent
domain proceedings, shall be considered conforming under the terms of these Regulations through
the receipt of a Certificate of Conformity, pursuant to the terms of this Section.
B. Procedure.
1. Application. A Condemnor or Condemnee may submit an application requesting a
Certificate of Conformity to the Community Development Director at any time. The
application shall contain the materials specified in Section 5 -210 D.2., Minimum Contents
of Application, including an explanation of why the Certificate of Conformity should be
granted, and the following materials:
a. Proof of eminent domain proceeding. If relevant, proof of the actual or
impending eminent domain proceeding;
b. Survey. A survey of the land subject to the eminent domain proceeding or sold
under the threat of an eminent domain proceeding that demonstrates the extent of
the condemnor's acquisition, and all principal and accessory structures on the
land. The survey shall be less than one (1) year old and comply with the laws of
the State of Colorado regulating the practice of professional land surveying and
the rules of procedure and rules of professional conduct;
C. Site plan. A site plan of the land subject to the eminent domain proceeding or
sold under threat of an eminent domain proceeding at an appropriate scale,
showing the location of all structures and improvements on the land; and the
extent of the condemnor's acquisition; and
d. Proof of notice. Proof that notice of the application has been provided to the
other party (Condemnor or Condemnee, whichever is relevant).

AR77CLE 6: NONCONFORMITIES 6 -100. PURPOSE AND INTENT
ARTICLE 6
NONCONFORMITIES
SECTION 6 -100. PURPOSE AND INTENT
Within the provisions established by these Land Use Regulations, there exist uses of land, structures and
lots that were lawfully established before these Land Use Regulations were adopted or amended, that now
do not conform to the standards of the Land Use Regulations. The purpose and intent of this Article is to
regulate and limit the continued existence of those uses, structures and lots that do not conform to the
provisions of these Land Use Regulations or any amendments thereto.
It is the intent of these Land Use Regulations to permit these nonconformities to continue, until they are
removed, but not to encourage their survival except under the limited circumstances established in this
Article. It is further the intent of these Land Use Regulations that changes in nonconformities shall not be
permitted. The provisions of this Article are designed to curtail substantial investment in nonconformities
to preserve the integrity of these Land Use Regulations and the Master Plan.
SECTION 6 -110. NONCONFORMING USES AND STRUCTURES
A. Continuation. Nonconforming uses and structures may continue in accordance with the provisions
of this Section.
B. Normal maintenance or repair. Normal maintenance or repair of nonconforming structures and
structures in which nonconforming uses of land are located may be performed in any period of
twelve (12) consecutive months, to an extent not exceeding fifteen (15) percent of the actual value
of the structure, as determined by the most recent County Tax Assessor's roles, provided that the
area of the structure existing after the date it became nonconforming shall not be increased, except
pursuant to the standards of this Section.
C. Enlargement or expansion.
1. Nonconforming Use. A nonconforming use shall not be enlarged or expanded in area
occupied, except a nonconforming use may be enlarged in any area of the same structure
in which it is located if no structural alteration of the structure is proposed or made for the
purpose of the enlargement or expansion.
2. Nonconfo ming Structure. A nonconforming structure shall not be extended by an
enlargement or expansion that increases its nonconformity, but may be extended or altered
in a manner that does not change or that decreases its nonconformity.

ARTICLE 6: NONCONFORMITIES 6 -1I0 NONCONFORMING USES AND STRUCTUR ES
3. Solar Energy Device. The addition of a solar energy device to a nonconforming use or
a nonconforming structure shall not be considered a structural alteration.
D. Relocation. A nonconforming structure or a structure housing a nonconforming use shall not be
moved, in whole or in part, to another location on or off the parcel of land on which it is located,
unless it shall thereafter conform to the provisions of the Zoning District into which it is moved.
E. Change in use. A nonconforming use shall not be changed to any other use, unless any new or
additional use conforms to the provisions of these Land Use Regulations for the zone district in
which the use is located.
F. Discontinuance or abandonment. If a nonconforming use is discontinued or abandoned for a
period of more than twelve (12) consecutive months, whether or not the equipment or furniture are
removed, then such use may not be re- established or resumed, and any subsequent use shall
conform to the provisions specified by these Land Use Regulations. When government action can
be documented as the reason for discontinuance or abandonment, the time of delay by government
shall not be calculated for purposes of this Section.
G. Unsafe because of maintenance. If a nonconforming structure or portion thereof or a structure
containing a nonconforming use becomes physically unsafe or unlawful due to the lack of repairs
or maintenance, and is declared by the Building Inspector to be an unsafe structure, it shall
thereafter be rebuilt and repaired in conformance with the standards of these Land Use Regulations
and the Building Code.
H. Damage of structure. If a nonconforming structure or a structure housing a nonconforming use
is damaged or destroyed by any means to an extent of more than fifty (50) percent of the actual
value of the structure immediately prior to the damage (as determined by the most recent County
Tax Assessor's role), it shall not be restored or repaired, except in conformance with the
provisions of these Land Use Regulations, and all rights of a nonconformity are terminated. If a
structure is damaged by less than fifty (50) percent of its actual value (as determined by the most
recent County Tax Assessor's role), it may be repaired and reconstructed and used as before the
time of damage, provided such repair and reconstruction is substantially completed within twelve
(12) months of the date of damage.
I. Use is acquired by tax delinquency. If Eagle County acquires title to any land by reason of tax
delinquency upon which a nonconforming use is located, and the land is not redeemed as provided
by law, the use on the land shall comply with the provisions of these Land Use Regulations, and
any amendments thereto.

not be extended by any amendments to a site specific development plan, unless expressly
authorized by,the Board of County Commissioners. The period of time permitted by law
for the exercise of such rights shall not begin to run until the date of publication, in a
newspaper of general circulation within the jurisdiction of the local government granting

2. Forfeiture. Failure to abide by any applicable terms and conditions attached to the site
specific development plan shall result in immediate forfeiture of the vested property right.
3. Extensions. The Board of County Commissioners may, as a legislative act, enter into a
Development Agreement with a landowner that provides that property rights shall be

economic cycles, and market conditions.
4. Subsequent review and approval. Following approval or conditional approval of a site
specific development plan, nothing in this Section shall exempt the site specific
development plan from subsequent reviews by Eagle County to ensure compliance with
the terms and conditions of the original approval, if such reviews and approvals are not

i
D. Exceptions. A vested property right, once established pursuant to this Section, precludes any
zoning.or land use action by Eagle County for a period of three (3) years from the date of approval

delay the development or use of the land subject to the site specific development plan consistent
with the terms and conditions of the site specific development plan, except:
1. Landowner's consent. With the consent of the affected landowner;
2. Hazards. Upon the discovery of natural or man -made hazards on or in the immediate
vicinity of the subject property, which hazards could not reasonably have been discovered
at the time of the approval of the site specific development plan, and which hazards, if
uncorrected, would pose a serious threat to the public health, safety, and welfare; and
3. Just compensation paid to landowner. To the extent that the affected landowner receives
just compensation for all costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred by the landowner,
including, but not limited to, all fees paid in consideration of financing, and all

b. Common use. A use common to the unincorporated County, although it may not
involve further development of the land, is considered an economically viable use.
Attention shall also be given to land uses that are considered to be the lowest
intensity in the unincorporated County but which uses still provide for occupation
and living within the County. These land uses, as well, shall be considered
economically viable uses.
C. Actual condition of land considered. The actual condition of the land shall be
considered. The reality of limited development potential, given the natural
condition of the land, shall not be attributed to the regulations applied to the land.
If the land is such that it cannot safely accommodate development with normal
grading and clearing practices, this fact shall lower the intensity of use that is
considered a minimum economically viable use.
d. Potential for damages. The potential for damages to either residents or land shall
be assessed in determining economically viable use. The need for a governmental
subsidy to future landowners shall be considered, and the cost of such subsidies
shall be deducted from the otherwise established minimum economically viable
use.
e. Only investment backed expectations considered. Expectations shall, in
general, not be considered. Only reasonable expectations backed by investments
as recognized by the current state of the law shall be considered.
L Current state of law. The current state of law established by the United States
Supreme Court, the federal Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Colorado Supreme
Court, relevant to the granting of relief.

beneficial use shall be based on the evidence submitted and the standards in
Section 5- 2300.C., Beneficial Use Standards. If the Hearing Officer finds that the
applicant has been denied economically beneficial use of the subject land, then the Hearing
Officer shall recommend a use that permits economically beneficial use and results in a
minimum change from the regulations of these Land Use Regulations as they apply to the
subject land, pursuant to the standards set forth in Section 5 -2300. C,' Beneficial Use
Standards, and Section 5- 2300.1), Granting of Relief. The Hearing Officer's
recommended findings of facts and proposed order shall be in writing and shall detail the
basis of the conclusions from the record of the hearing.
7. Action by Board of County Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners shall
schedule a hearing on the application within thirty (30) calendar days of the date the
Hearing Officer issues the recommended findings of fact and proposed order. The
Community Development Director shall provide the applicant and all adjacent landowners
of the land subject to the Appeal for Beneficial Use Determination at least twenty (20)
calendar days notice of the hearing by mail. At the hearing, the Board of County
Commissioners shall approve the findings of fact and proposed order of the Hearing
Officer, or may attach conditions, modify, or reverse the findings of fact or proposed
order of the Hearing Officer, based on the standards of Section 5- 2300.C, Beneficial Use
Standards, and Section 5- 2300.13, Granting of Relief. If the Board of County
Commissioners attaches conditions, modifies or reverses the findings of fact or proposed
order, it shall do so only where the record of the hearing indicates that the Hearing Officer
is unsupported by the record, or that the proposed order is not in conformance with the
standards of Section 5- 2300.C, Beneficial Use Standards, and Section 5- 2300.13, Grantin
of Relief.
S. Appeal. The decision of the Board of County Commissioners is appealable to a court of
law.
C. Beneficial use standards. In determining if a landowner has been deprived of economically
beneficial use of land, the Hearing Officer and Board of County Commissioners shall take into
account the following factors:
1. Economically viable use. In making the determination whether the land is provided
economically viable use, the Hearing Officer/Board of County Commissioners shall first
evaluate the uses of the land as provided by these Land Use Regulations, and the uses of
land in relation to the uses provided similarly situated lands. For the purposes of this
Section, economically viable use means the opportunity to make a return equivalent to that
which would have been received from a conservative financial investment. Transitory
economic issues shall not be relevant to this' determination.
2. Diminution in value. The market value of the land, as established by the comparable
sales approach, prior to adoption of these Land Use Regulations, which caused the
landowner to apply for relief shall be compared to the market value of the land, as
established by the comparable sales approach, with the regulations as applied. Market

value of the land prior to the adoption of the Land Use Regulations shall constitute its
highest and best use on (one day prior to the effective of these Land Use Regulations) or
the date of purchase of the land, whichever is later, and any other land value /appraisal
information that the applicant would like to be considered. All appraisals shall be
proposed by qualified licensed appraisers, and shall follow the best professional practices
as established by the profession. A mere diminution in market value is not sufficient to
support a determination of denial of economically beneficial use; the diminution must be
so substantial that it effectively deprives the landowner of any material use or enjoyment
of the land, commensurate with any reasonable investment backed expectations, if any.
3. External costs.
a. Subsidy. The amount or nature of any subsidy that may be required by Eagle
County, neighbors, purchasers, tenants, or the public at large if the uses allowed
under these Land Use Regulations are modified.
b. Other adverse effects. Any other adverse effects on the County and its residents.
4. Current state of the law. The state of the law established by the United States Supreme
Court, the federal Circuit Courts of Appeals, and the Colorado Supreme Court, relevant
to these standards.
D. Granting of relief.
1. General. If the finding is that a landowner has been deprived economically beneficial use
of land, or is otherwise entitled to relief pursuant to the standards of.this Section, relief
shall be granted.
2. Minimum increase. In granting relief, the landowner shall be given the minimum
increase in use density/intensity or other possible concessions from these Land Use
Regulations in order to permit an economically viable use of the land or a use that is
determined to be required by law. The highest use, or even an average or generally
reasonable expectation, is not required or intended as the appropriate remedy. The
following guidelines shall be used for determining the minimum economically viable use
of land and, therefore, the amount of relief to be granted a landowner in order to reach
that minimum.
a. No governmental subsidy. A minimum economically viable use of the land
should be one that does not have any governmental subsidy attached to the long-
term safe occupation of the land. If such a subsidy is needed, then that should be
reflected by lowering the use intensity that is considered a minimum economically
viable use on a market valuation basis.

approve with conditions, or disapprove a Variance Permit based on the standards in
Section 5- 260.13, Standards.
B. Standards. In order to authorize a Variance Permit, the Zoning Board of Adjustment shall find
there is competent evidence that all of the following standards have been met:
1. Special circumstances exist. Where, by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness,
or shape of a specific piece of property at the time of the enactment of County regulations
or by reason of exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional
situation or condition of such piece of property, the strict application of any regulation
enacted under these Land Use Regulations would result in peculiar and exceptional
practical difficulties to, or exceptional and undue hardship upon, the owner of such
property, to authorize, upon an appeal relating to said property, a variance from such strict
application so as to relieve such difficulties or hardship if such relief may be granted
without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantially impairing the
intent and purpose of the zone plan and zoning resolutions. In determining whether
difficulties to, or hardship upon, the owner of such property exist, as used in this
paragraph (a), the adequacy of access to sunlight for solar energy devices installed on or
after January 1, 1980, may properly be considered. Regulations and restrictions of the
height, number of stories, size of buildings and other structures, and the height and
location of trees and other vegetation shall not apply to existing buildings, structures, trees,
or vegetation except for new growth on such vegetation.
2. Not result of applicant. The special circumstances and conditions have not resulted from
any act of the applicant;
3. Strict application deprives reasonable use. The special circumstances and conditions are
such that the strict application of the provisions of these Land Use Regulations would
result in peculiar and practical difficulties to and exceptional and undue hardship upon the
use of the land or building;
4. Variance is necessary to provide reasonable use. The granting of the Variance is
necessary to relieve the applicant of the practical difficulties and exceptional and undue
hardship in the use of the land or building.
5. Variance. The granting of the variance is necessary to relieve the practical difficulties and
exceptional and undue hardship in the use of the land or buildings.
6. Not detrimental to the public good. The granting of the Variance will not be a
detriment to the public good.
Impairment of the Zoning Plan and Resolution. The granting of the Variance will not
substantially impair the intent and purpose of the zone plan and the zoning resolutions.

C. Conditions and restrictions.
Conditions and restrictions. The Zoning Board of Adjustment may, in approving the
Variance Permit, impose such restrictions and conditions on such approval, the proposed
use, and the premises to be developed or used pursuant to such approval, as it determines
are required by the general goals, objectives, and policies of the Master Plan and these
Land Use Regulations to prevent or minimize adverse effects from the proposed Variance
on other lands in the neighborhood and on the general health, safety, and welfare of the
County.
2. Conditions in development permit. All conditions imposed upon any Variance Permit,
with the exception of conditions made applicable to such approval by the express terms of
these Land Use Regulations, shall be expressly set forth in the Variance Permit.

development for which it is issued. A Variance Permit shall run with the land.
2. Time limitations. All Variance Permits shall expire three (3) years from the date of
issuance if no Building Permit has been issued to establish the use authorized in the
Variance Permit, or if the use does not require a Building Permit, the use is established,
ongoing, and in operation. Permitted time frames do not change with successive owners.
Upon written request, one (1) extension of time may be granted by the Zoning Board of
Adjustment for a period not to exceed six (6) months for good cause shown. No request

that extent, said provisions, whether recorded by plat, covenant, easement or otherwise,
may be enforced at law or in equity by residents, occupants, or owners acting individually,
jointly, or through an organization designated in the Resolution to act on their behalf.
However, no provision of the Resolution shall be implied to exist in favor of residents,
occupants, and owners except those provisions of the Resolution which have been finally
approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
3. Release by County. All those provisions of the Resolution approving a PUD District
designation or a Preliminary Plan for a PUD authorized to be enforced by the County,
may be modified, removed or released by the County subject to the following:

maintain the common facilities in reasonable order and condition in accordance with the
approved Common Open Space and Recreation Areas Plan in the Preliminary Plan for
PUD, the Community Development Director may cause written notice to be served upon
such organization or upon the owners of land in the development setting forth the manner
in which the common facilities have failed to be maintained in reasonable conditions,
which notice shall include the demand that the deficiencies noted be cured within thirty
(30) calendar days. The notice shall state the date and place of hearing to be held within
fourteen (14) calendar days of notice.
a. Remedies Authorized. At the time of hearing, the Community Development
Director may modify the terms of the original notice as to deficiencies and may
extend the time within which the same may be cured. If the deficiencies set forth
in the original notice or modifications are not cured within the time set, the
Community Development Director, in order to preserve the taxable values of
properties within the development and to prevent the common facilities from
becoming a public nuisance, may enter upon such common facilities and maintain
the same for a period of one (1) year. Any failure of the Community

facilities not dedicated to public use.
b. Show Cause Hearing. Before expiration of the one (1) year period, the
Community Development Director shall take the initiative, or shall upon the
written request of the organization responsible for maintenance, call a public
hearing and give notice of such hearing to the organization responsible for
maintenance or the property owners of the Planned Unit Development (PUD). At
such hearing, the organization responsible for maintenance and /or the residents of
the development may show cause why maintenance by the County should not be
continued for the succeeding year.
C. Continuing Maintenance. If the Board of County Commissioners determine that
it is not necessary for the County to continue such maintenance, the County shall
cease such maintenance at the time established by the Board of County
Commissioners. Otherwise, the County shall continue maintenance for the next
succeeding year, subject to a similar hearing and determination at the end of each
year thereafter. The cost of County maintenance shall be paid by the owners of
properties within the PUD that have a right of enjoyment of the common open
space. The cost of County maintenance and any unpaid assessments shall become
a tax lien against the common facilities of, and the private properties within, the
PUD.
d. Assessments. The County shall have the right to make assessments against
properties in the development on the same basis that the organization responsible
for maintenance of the facilities could make such assessments. Any unpaid

(PUD) Agreement. Failure of the applicant to record the Resolution, Preliminary
Plan for PUD, PUD Guide and PUD Agreement within one hundred and eighty
(180) calendar days of its approval shall render the Resolution, Preliminary Plan
for PUD, PUD Guide and PUD Agreement invalid and the property shall return
to its prior zoning designation.
k. Effect of approval of a Preliminary Plan for PUD.
(1) Effect. Issuance of a Preliminary Plan for PUD shall constitute an
amendment to the Official Zone District Map. It shall also authorize the
applicant to submit an application for a Final Plat for Subdivision.

option to extend these time periods. Permitted time frames do not change
with successive owners.
(3) Extension. Upon written request, an extension of the Preliminary Plan's
life may be granted by the Board of County Commissioners, not to exceed
two (2) years in length, if the applicant demonstrates by competent
substantial evidence that failure to complete development of the PUD was
beyond the applicant's control, the Preliminary Plan for PUD is not
speculative in nature, the Preliminary Plan for PUD still complies with
these Land Use Regulations and the Master Plan, and there is a reasonable
likelihood the PUD will be developed in the next two (2) years. No

extinguished and shall make any finding required by law prior to
extinguishing the PUD Plan. Should the Board find that extinguishment

considerations first discovered during actual development and that are not
reasonably anticipated during the initial approval process, as long as they comply
with these Land Use Regulations. Minor deviations shall not include reductions
in the amount of required open space, or required wildlife habitat protection, or
increases in the building square footage. All changes not qualifying as minor
deviations shall be considered amendments and shall comply with
Section 5- 240.F.3.m., Amendment to Preliminary Plan for PUD.
m. Amendment to Preliminary Plan for PUD.. No substantial modification,
removal, or release of the provisions of the plan shall be permitted except upon
a finding by the County, following a public hearing called and held in accordance
with the provisions of section 24- 67- 104(1)(e) Colorado Revised Statutes that the
modification, removal, or release is consistent with the efficient development and
preservation of the entire Planned Unit Development, does not affect in a

common open space, restrictions and /or covenants shall be placed
in each deed to ensure their maintenance and to prohibit the
division of any common open space.
(d) Organization. If common open space is proposed to be
maintained through an association or nonprofit corporation, such
organization shall manage all common open space and
recreational and cultural facilities that are not dedicated to the
public, and shall provide for the maintenance, administration and
operation of such land and any other land within the PUD not
publicly owned, and secure adequate liability insurance on the
land. The association or nonprofit corporation shall be
established prior to the sale of any lots or units within the PUD.
Membership in the association or nonprofit corporation shall be
mandatory for all landowners within the PUD.
(13) Natural Resource Protection. The PUD shall consider the
recommendations made by the applicable analysis documents, as well as
the recommendations of referral agencies as specified in Article 4,
Division 4, Natural Resource Protection Standards.
L Variations Authorized. The Board of County Commissioners shall be authorized
to grant the following variations as part of its approval of the Preliminary Plan for
PUD. Each variation that is granted shall be shown on the PUD Guide.
�—/ (1) Uses. The uses that are allowed, allowed as limited uses, or allowed as
special uses, may be varied.
(2) Dimensional Limitations. The minimum lot area, minimum lot area per
use, maximum lot coverage, maximum floor area, minimum yard setbacks
and maximum height may be varied.
(3) Basis for Granting Variations. These variations may be granted when
the Board of County Commissioners finds that the Preliminary Plan for
PUD achieves one (1) or more of the following purposes and that the
granting of the variation is necessary for that purpose to be achieved. The
standards used in the designation of the land use categories on the Future
Land Use Map, found in Table 20 of the Eagle County Master Plan,
"Criteria Used In the Land Designation Process ", shall also be considered
when determining the maximum density and allowed uses of the PUD.

scale, orientation and configuration, with other units in the PUD
and the surrounding area, yet shall avoid uniformity of design.
Residential and non - residential uses may be mixed together.
Various types of residential uses may also be combined within the
PUD, to promote more efficient land use patterns and increased
open space. The Board of County Commissioners may require
minimum yard setbacks, lot widths, and space between buildings
of such dimensions as they are determined to be necessary to
provide adequate access and fire protection; to ensure proper
ventilation, light, air, and snowmelt between buildings; and to
minimize the effects of transmission of noise between units and
between buildings. As a general guide, twenty (20) feet between
buildings shall be considered the minimum appropriate spacing.
(b) Avoid Environmental Resources and Natural Hazards. A
variation may be allowed that provides necessary site planning
flexibility to enable the development to avoid valued
environmental resource and natural hazard lands, as these have
been identified in Section 3- 310.B.1., Purpose. This shall be
accomplished in such a way as to maintain these lands as large,
contiguous areas. Such lands shall not be fragmented into small,
unconnected areas by development, unless the applicant
demonstrates that this arrangement is necessary to maintain the
underlying density on the property, and the lands providing
environmental resource values have been protected and lands
subject to natural hazards have been avoided. Where applicable,
connections of such lands on the site to such lands on adjacent
properties shall be accomplished.
(c) Water Augmentation. A variation may be allowed that creates
incentives for applicants to commit to a water augmentation plan
for their development that brings "wet" water into the Upper
Eagle River Basin.
(d) Trails. A variation may be allowed that provides incentives for
applicants to make contributions to the County's multi -use trail
system, in accordance with the recommendations of the latest
version of the Eagle County Trails Plan, or to provide
appropriate forms of access (including summer and winter
parking areas and trailheads) to public lands and to river and
creek drainages in Eagle County. Proposed access shall be
consistent with public land management objectives and resource

ARTICLE 4 STTE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4 -620 ROADWAY STANDARDS
1. Horizontal Alignment. The following special considerations for horizontal alignment
shall apply to the design and construction or reconstruction of roadways in Eagle County:
a. Compound Curves. The use of compound curves in proposed alignments is
strongly discouraged, due to the potential deception they offer motorists,
particularly when traveling from the larger to the smaller radii.
(1) Standards When Compound Curves Are Necessary. If compound
curves must be used to allow the roadway to better fit the existing terrain,
then the ratio of the flatter radius to the sharper radius shall not exceed
1.5:1. Where feasible, a smaller difference in radii should be used; a
desirable maximum ratio is 1.75:1. At intersections where motorists
accept more rapid changes in design and speed, the radius of the sharper
arc can be as high as a ratio of 2:1.
(2) Length. Curves that are compounded should not be too short or their
effect in enabling change from tangent or flat -curve to sharp -curve will be
lost.
b. Reversal of Alignment. Any abrupt reversal in alignment should be avoided.
Such a change makes it difficult for a driver to keep within his own lane. It is
difficult. to superelevate both curves adequately, and hazardous and erratic
operation of the vehicle may result.
(1) Suitable Design. A reversal in alignment can be designed suitably by
including a sufficient length of tangent between the two (2) curves for
superelevation runoff, or preferably, an equivalent length with spiral
curves. The distance between reverse curves should be the sum of the
superelevation runoff lengths and the tangent runout lengths.
(2) Sufficient Distance Not Available. If sufficient distance is not available
to permit the tangent runout lengths to return to normal crown section,
there is a long length where the edges of pavement and centerline are at
the same elevation and poor transverse drainage can be expected. In this
case, the tangent runouts may be eliminated and the superelevation runoffs
joined, thus providing one (1) instantaneous level section.
(3) Tangent Separation Lengths. Desirable and
separation lengths are shown in Table 4 -620
Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards.

drivers do not expect succeeding curves to be in the same direction and because J 1
in some cases the "broken- back" alignment will not be pleasing in appearance.
Curves will typically not be considered to be in a "broken- back" arrangement
when the connecting tangent is of considerable length.
d. Simple and Spiral Curves. Figure 4 -620 #2, Simple Curve, Figure 4 -620 #3,
Spiraled Curve, and Figure 4 -620 #4, Relationship. Simple vs Spiral Curve,
illustrate simple and spiral curves, their derivation and function.
e. Travel Lane Widening. To compensate for off - tracking as a vehicle follows a
curve (rear wheels tracking inside the front wheels), travel lane widening shall be
provided on certain classifications of roadway.
(1) Standards. Travel lane widening shall occur on the inside edge of the
curve only, with the inside shoulder "kicked" out until a minimum of
three (3) feet of shoulder is left. The amount of travel lane widening to
be provided is shown in Table 4 -620 J. Le., Lane Widening On Curves.
(2) Example. For example, if the required width of shoulder is six (6) feet,
up to three (3) of the six (6) feet may be used for inside edge widening.
In this example, if four (4) feet of widening is required the total shoulder
width would be seven (7) feet. The gravel shoulder available for "cutting
the curve" becomes less and encourages traffic to stay on the pavement,
and the transition extends over the same length as the superelevation
runoff.
L Switchbacks. Switchbacks are generally not considered a good roadway design
solution, but may be the only alternative for gaining elevation in mountainous
terrain.
(1) Minimum Tangent Separation. When switchbacks must be used, each
switchback shall have a tangent separation of not less than two (2) times
the minimum stopping sight distance from the last or next switchback,
adjusted for grade in accordance with the latest edition of ASSHTO's A
POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS,
Chapter III, Table III -2. Effect of grade on stopping sight distance -
wet conditions. This is especially important on hillsides, on slopes steeper
than twenty (20) percent, and where visually, switchbacks will. create a
major impact.

(2) Direct Lot Access. Direct lot access is not permitted on the tangent
sections between switchbacks that are separated by the minimum distance
outlined above. To gain lot.access on the tangent section separating the
switchbacks there must be the required minimum sight distance from
intersecting streets and driveways from both switchbacks, as shown in
Table 4 -620 7., Summary Of Environmental. Geometric And Design
Standards.
(3) Lane Widening. Lane widening for switchback curves shall reflect
AASHTO Design and Traffic Condition IH -C. The minimum allowable
centerline radius for switchback curves is shown in Table 4 -620 7.,
Summary Of Environmental. Geometric And Design Standards. The
eighty (80) foot minimum radius is based on the recommendations of the
Model Regulations For Protecting People and Homes From Wildfrre in
Subdivisions and Developments promulgated by the Colorado State Forest
Service. A review of multiple -unit vehicle turning radii and pavement
width occupation shows that an eighty (80) foot radius is the minimum
radius a large vehicle can make and yet not occupy more than its own
lane, even with travel lane widening on the inside of curves.
g. Street Pattern. The street pattern in the proposed development shall generally
conform to any adopted County master plan for future development of the
adjoining areas. Proposed streets or roadways within three (3) miles of any
incorporated municipality shall conform to the street system and standards or
official street plan of said incorporated municipality.
(1) Continuity of Alignment. Where appropriate to the design, the streets
shall be continuous and in alignment with the existing platted streets with
which they are to connect.
(2) Extend to Boundary Lines. Proposed streets shall be extended to the
boundary lines of adjacent land, if the applicable adopted County Master
Plan indicates the adjacent land will be suitable for development, unless
the extension is prevented by topography or other physical conditions.
h. Dual Access. The applicant shall be required to provide two (2) points of access
from the proposed development to the public roadway system, unless prevented
by topography or other physical conditions. In any event there shall be a
secondary emergency ingress /egress from any development. All dwellings and
other structures shall be accessible by emergency and service vehicles.
2. Vertical Alignment. The following special considerations for vertical alignment shall
apply to the design and construction or reconstruction of roadways in Eagle County:
a. Terrain Classification. Terrain in Eagle County can be characterized within one

(1) of the following three (3) categories:
(1) Level Terrain. Level terrain is that condition where roadway sight
distances, as governed by both horizontal and vertical restrictions, are
generally long or could be made so without construction difficulty or
major expense. The average natural cross slopes on level terrain are less
than eight (8) percent.
(2) Rolling Terrain. Rolling terrain is that condition where the natural
slopes consistently rise above and fall below the roadway grade and where
occasional steep slopes offer some restriction to normal horizontal and
vertical roadway alinement. The average natural cross slopes on rolling
terrain are between eight (8) percent and fifteen (15) percent.
(3) Mountainous Terrain. Mountainous terrain is that condition where
longitudinal and transverse changes in the elevation with respect to the
roadway are abrupt and where benching and side hill excavation are
frequently required to obtain acceptable horizontal and vertical alignment.
The average natural cross slopes on mountainous terrain are greater than
fifteen (15) percent.
(4) Combination of Terrain Types. A parcel may contain all or any
combination of these terrain types. Terrain that has varying
characteristics shall be classified within the above categories, and shall
provide a transition in design speed between each category in five (5) mph
increments, spaced seven hundred -fifty (750) feet apart. Ten (10) mph
increments may be considered for approval by the County Engineer upon
the applicant's demonstration that circumstances warrant. Part of this
determination shall be based on the review of .cross sections and cost
estimates for both cases prepared by the, applicant's engineer.
b. Maximum Grade. The maximum grade for each classification of roadway in
Eagle County is illustrated in Table 4 -620 J, Summary Of Environmental,
Geometric And Design Standards.
(1) Ability to Negotiate Grade. A maximum grade of eight (8) percent is
generally negotiable under year -round conditions by two (2) wheel drive
vehicles with mud and snow tires where stopping and starting are not
required. Steeper grades may require four (4) wheel drive and /or studded
mud and snow tires under winter snow and ice conditions.
(2) Maximum Grade in Suburban and Urban Areas. A maximum grade
of six (6) percent is more appropriate for suburban and urban areas,
where the frequency of stopping and starting is increased.

(3) Special Design Considerations. Special design considerations regarding
grades are required for intersections and driveway approaches and on
switchback curves (see sub - sections 4 -620 J.4., Intersections, 4 -620 J.9.,
Access Approaches and Driveways, "and 4 -620 J.l -f, Switchbacks).
(4) Low Volume Roadways. On low volume roadways (AADT of four
hundred [400] vehicles or less) grades may be increased to one hundred -
fifty (150) percent of the stated desirable values in Table 4 -620 J.,
Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards, for a
tangent distance not to exceed five hundred (500) feet on Southern facing
slopes only, subject to the approval of the County Engineer. There shall
be no access approaches in the segment with the increased grade.
C. Vertical Curves. Vertical curves shall conform to the criteria set forth in the
latest edition of A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND
STREETS. Cha tee, published by AASHTO.
(1) Grade Breaks. The use of grade breaks, in lieu of vertical curves, is not
encouraged. However, if a grade break is necessary and the algebraic
difference in grade does not exceed four - tenths (0.4) percent when curb
and gutter is used, the grade break will be permitted, except at
intersections, where algebraic differences in grade of eight- tenths (0.8)
percent will be permitted to facilitate the warping of the side street to meet
the through street.
(2) Rural Roads. On rural roads not bordered by curb and gutter, vertical
curves are not required when the algebraic difference in grade is one (1)
percent or less.
(3) Sag Vertical Curves. The minimum grade within a sag (sump) vertical
curve is one -half (0.5) percent. This will require manual calculations and
labeling at the low point of the sag vertical curve.
d. Cross Slope.
(1) Roadways Shall Be Level. Except at intersections, or where
superelevation is required, roadways shall be level, as measured
perpendicularly, from top of finished edge of pavement to top of finished
edge of pavement, or from top of curb to top of curb when curb and
gutter is required and shall have a two (2) percent crown as measured
from centerline to finished edge of pavement, or lip of gutter when curb
and gutter is required, or lip of median curb to lip of outside curb on
roadways with raised center islands. Parabolic or curved crowns are not
allowed.

(2) Warped Intersections. Maximum pavement cross slope allowed is four
(4) percent at warped intersections, as measured above. In no case shall
the pavement cross slope at warped intersections exceed the grade of the
through street. The rate of change in pavement cross slope, when
warping side streets at intersections, shall not exceed one (1) percent
every twenty-five (25) feet horizontally on low volume residential roads
and streets, one (1) percent every thirty-seven and one -half (37.5) feet
horizontally on suburban and urban residential streets, or one (1) percent
every fifty-six and one -half (56.5) feet horizontally on collector roads and
streets.
3. Superelevation. Horizontal curve radius and superelevation shall be in accordance with the
recommendations of the latest edition of AASHTO's A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN
OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter III. The following procedure is an outline for the
correct application of superelevation. Further information on this method is available in
AASHTO's A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS,
Chapter III, 1994. Super Diagrams and Plot Exaggerated Profiles are not mandatory, but may
be required by the County Engineer to evaluate proposed roadways.
a. Horizontal Centerline Radius, Degree of Curvature and Centerline Design Grade.
Establish horizontal centerline radius, degree of curvature and centerline design grade.
Centerline design grade shall be the actual centerline of roadways without raised
medians, or median top of curb, or flowline or lip of median gutter (which shall be
level across the median except at turn lanes) on roadways with raised medians. The
method of attaining superelevation shall be rotation about the centerline on roadways
without raised medians or rotation about the median top of curb on roadways with
raised medians.
b. Rate and Length of Superelevation Runoff. Table 4 -620 J., Summary Of
Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards, shall be used to determine the rate
of superelevation and length of superelevation runoff required for the degree of
curvature. Superelevation runoff is that length of roadway needed to accomplish the
change in cross slope from a section with the adverse crown removed (flat) to the fully
superelevated section, or vice versa.
C. Super Diagram. Use the information obtained from Table 4 -620 J., Summary Of
Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards, to construct a "super diagram". The
"super diagram" is a design aid used to establish the length of tangent runout required,
and pavement cross - slopes generated through the transition from the normal cross
section to full superelevation, or vice versa. Intervals at which pavement cross slopes
are read shall not exceed twenty-five (25) feet and should be read at even twenty -five
foot (25) stations along centerline (7 +25, 7 +50, not 7 +28.79, 7 +53.79). Tangent
runout is that length of roadway needed to accomplish the change in cross slope from
a normal (two [2] percent) crown section to a section with the adverse crown removed
(flat), or vice versa.

inch equals twenty -five (25) feet or larger horizontally and one (1) inch equals one (1)
foot vertically.
e. Transfer to Normal Scale. Transfer all of the information on the exaggerated profile
to the profile of the construction plan at normal scale.
f. Add Labels and Submit. Label, at each transition point in the plan view of the
construction plan, the name, station, elevation, and rate of superelevation. Also, label
each point by station and elevation where the pavement cross slope is one (1) percent,
either direction, for the purpose of locating inlets to intercept cross pavement drainage
flows if curb and gutter are required. Submit the super diagram(s) and exaggerated
profiles for concurrent review with the public improvement plans.
4. Intersections. The following standards shall apply at intersections:
a. Through Street Takes Precedence. The grade of the "through" street shall take
precedence at all intersections. At intersections of roadways with the same
classification, the more important roadway, as determined by volume of traffic, shall
have this precedence. Warp side streets to match through streets with as an effective
and short transition as possible.
b. Design Factors. Factors that shall determine the elevation of the point of curb or edge
of pavement return on the side street and the amount of warp needed on a side street
transitioning to a through street are:
(1) Permissible Grade. Permissible grade in the stop /start lane, as described in
sub- section 4 -620 J.5., Intersection Grade.
(2) Pavement Cross Slope. Pavement cross slope at the Point of Curb Return or
Beginning /End of Curve on the side street and permissible warp in pavement
cross slope, as described in section 4 -620 J.2.d., Cross Slope.
(3) Vertical Curve Criteria. Normal vertical curve criteria.

(4) Curb Returns. Vertical controls within the curb return itself, as described in
sub - section 4 -620 J.6., Curb Returns.
C. Elevation. The elevation at the P.C.R. of the curb return or B.C. on the through street
shall be set by the grade of the through street in conjunction with normal pavement
cross slope (two [2] percent) or the rate of superelevation.
d. Crown of the Side Street. Carrying the crown of the side street into the through street
is not permitted.
e. Dipping the Flowline. Dipping the flowline to the extent that the lip of gutter is
dipped is not permitted, except as required for a CDOT Type R Curb Inlet, Standard
M- 604 -12. Tipping an inlet for the benefit of drainage is also not permitted.
Major Intersections. At a major collector -major collector intersection, a more
detailed review of the entire intersection's driveability will be required. Few major
intersections will have a uniform two (2) percent cross slope, the majority of them
having one or more sides warped. See sub - section 4 -620 J.2.d., Cross Slope, for
information concerning warping of pavement at intersections.
g. Curb and Gutter. When curb and gutter is required, separate flowline profiles, and
pavement cross slopes in the plan view may also be required by the County Engineer.
Spot elevations in the intersection shall also be shown, on the plan view, on a fifteen
(15) foot grid. This information shall be shown on separate plan and profile sheets at
a scale of one (1) inch equals twenty (20) feet horizontally and one (1) inch equals two
(2) feet vertically.
5. Intersection Grade. The first twenty (20) feet beyond the edge of the traveled way of the
through street, including any necessary speed change lanes, shall slope down and away from
the through street at a grade of two (2) percent. The transition back to the side street grade
shall be accomplished in a minimum fifty (50) foot vertical curve. The maximum grade at
intersections, including private driveway approaches to public roadways, shall be three (3)
percent at flowline or edge of pavement and centerline (stop /start lane shall be as shaded in
Figure 4 -620 #5, Transition Distances for Permissible Intersection Grades, for the distances
shown in the table that accompanies Figure 4 -620 #5.) At intersecting major collectors the
maximum permissible grade will be two (2) percent for two hundred (200) feet either side of
the intersection on both sides of the roadway.

6. Curb Returns. When curb and gutter is required, minimum fall around curb returns when
turning water shall be six - tenths (0.6) of a foot for a thirty (30) foot return radius and one (1)
foot for a fifty (50) return radius. For other curb return radii, a grade of one and twenty -seven
hundredths (1.27) percent shall be used within the return to establish minimum fall when
turning water.
Curb Return Profiles. When curb and gutter is called for in Table 4 -620 J., Summary Of m -i
Environmental. Geometric And Design Standards, curb return profiles shall be required at
every curb return in the public way within the proposed development, except on medians, in
accordance with the following design procedure. These profiles are to be used for construction
staking of the curb return. The following information is provided on curb.return profiles:
a. Elevation. Determine the elevation at each P.C.R. of the curb return according to sub-
section 4 -620 J.4., Intersections.
b. Are Length. Calculate the are length of the return at its flowline.
C. Flowline Grade. Show the corresponding flowline (or top of curb) grade for the
roadway beyond the return at each P.C.R.
d. Extend Grades Until They Intersect Within the Return. The above corresponding
grades shall be extended until they intersect, somewhere within the return (Figure 4-
620 #6, Curb Return/Edge of Pavement Profile "A "). The grades may intersect near
or outside either P.C.R., so long as the vertical difference in grades does not exceed
two - tenths (0.2) of a foot at either P.C.R. (Figure 4 -620 #7, Curb Return/Edge of
Pavement Profile "B "). In this case, a line is drawn inside the return and two (2)
percent vertical curves are used at the intersections. It may be necessary to revise the
grade of the intersecting side street to obtain an acceptable curb return profile (Figure

is never warped to facilitate this. See sub - section 4 -620 J.4., Intersections.
e. Vertical Cnrves and Elevations. Vertical curves within the return may be drawn in
with french or railroad curves. Elevations of at least two points between each P.C.R.,
at spacing not to exceed fifteen (15) feet shall then be shown in the profile. These
points shall be evenly spaced between the P.C.R.'s so as to divide the arc length of the
curb return at flowline into equal segments. The elevation and location of the high or
low point within the return, if applicable, is to be called out in the profile and on the
plan view.
Scale. Scale for the curb return profile shall be one (1) inch equals ten (10) feet
horizontally and one (1) inch equals one (1) foot vertically.

AR77CLE4: SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4 -620 ROADWAYSTANDARDS
Note: Separate flowline or edge of pavement profiles are required as the basis for
design at bubbles, cul -de -sacs or horizontal curves when the vertical grade is less than
one (1) percent and other departures from normal roadway cross sections, i.e., the
pavement cross slope is not two (2) percent, and for at least two hundred (200) feet
from all intersections.
8. Clear Vision Areas. A clear vision area shall be maintained on the comers of all properties
at all roadway intersections, including railroad crossings, so that intersection sight distances as
specified in Table 4 -620 J., Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards, are
provided.
a. Prohibited Structures. A clear vision area shall contain no planting, fence, wall, sign,
utility appurtenance, structure or other obstruction, temporary or permanent, exceeding
thirty (30) inches in height, as measured from the top of the curb, or in the absence of
curb and gutter, from the finished grade of the centerline of the street. Traffic control
devices required by, and installed in accordance with, the MUTCD, or Colorado
Supplement thereto, are exempt from this provision.
b. Applicant is Responsible. It shall be the applicant's responsibility, through his
engineer, to ensure that the necessary clear vision area is provided in the layout and
design of the development and is carried through during construction.
9. Access Approaches and Driveways.
a. Findings. Control of access to public streets and roads is an area of increasing
concern, since roads are rarely being built or upgraded fast enough to accommodate
increases in traffic. The proliferation of access points and driveways along major local
roads and state highways impairs the ability of such roads to efficiently carry traffic.
Effective control of access can enhance the carrying capacity and safety of most
roadways by reducing the opportunity for turning movements both to and from a major
roadway. In addition, elimination of turning movements can decrease the need for
acceleration and deceleration lanes.
b. State Design Standards. Pursuant to C.R.S. 43 -2 -147 (1)(a), access approaches to
roadways under the jurisdiction of Eagle County must meet the Design Standards found
in Sections Three and Four of the Colorado State Highway Access Code, 2 CCR 601 -1
(the Code). In addition, those parcels directly accessing highways under the
jurisdiction of the Colorado Department of Transportation shall be required to obtain
a State Highway Access Permit pursuant to the above - referenced Code. Eagle County
is the Issuing Authority for such permits and should be contacted initially for the
application and further information in obtaining State Highway Access Permits.
C. Additional County Standards. In addition to the foregoing, public and private access
approaches and driveways shall be subject to the following standards:

ARTICLE 4: SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4 -620. ROADWAY STANDARDS
(1) Access By Emergency and Service Vehicle. All dwellings and other
structures shall be accessible by emergency and service vehicles. A maximum
grade of eight (8) percent and a minimum centerline radius of eighty (80) feet
is recommended for driveways on north - facing slopes. On south - facing slopes,
a maximum grade of ten (10) percent and a minimum centerline radius of sixty
(60) feet is recommended. Curves should be widened generously in both
circumstances.
(2) Driveways in Mountainous Terrain. Proposed developments on lots with
mountainous terrain may require the preliminary layout and design of the
individual driveways at the preliminary plan stage, and the precise design of
the driveway at the final plan stage, to assure that access can be provided to
each dwelling unit served by the driveway in compliance with the standards of
this Division.
(3) Driveways Requiring Significant Cuts and /or Fills Discouraged.
Driveways that require significant cuts and /or fills are discouraged. Applicants
are encouraged to relocate development to areas within the proposed
development where such cuts and fills are not required. Where significant
grading and /or retaining walls or other structures may be necessary, the
applicant may be required to identify a precise building envelope and construct
the driveway that will serve that envelope, at the discretion of the Board of
County Commissioners, considering the advice of the County Engineer. In
extraordinary cases, driveways may be considered public improvements and
thus collateralized, constructed and subject to the terms and conditions of the
other public improvements in the development.
(4) Driveways Shall Not Serve More than Three Units. Driveways shall not
serve more than three (3) dwelling units, unless specified otherwise in these
Regulations. Any residence having an accessory dwelling unit shall be counted
as one (1) unit.
(5) Clearance From Intersections. Driveways shall be restricted for a sufficient
distance from any intersection with road approaches to preserve normal and
safe movement of traffic. Driveways shall provide the following intersection
clearances, exclusive of driveway and intersection return radii or flares. In
rural and suburban areas, a minimum intersection clearance of fifty (50) feet
shall be provided for residential driveways and a minimum intersection
clearance of one hundred (100) shall be provided for commercial driveways.
In urban areas, a minimum intersection clearance of twenty (20) feet shall be
provided for residential and commercial driveways, due to the expectation that
dedicated turn lanes for the driveways will be present. In the event there are
no dedicated turn lanes, then the minimum twenty (20 foot intersection
clearance may be extended, at the direction of the County Engineer.

(6) Maximum Number of Entryways. Generally, no more than one (1) entryway
shall be allowed for any parcel of property where the frontage is less than one
hundred (100) feet. Additional entrances or exits for parcels of property
having a frontage in excess of one hundred (100) feet shall be permitted only
when the applicant demonstrates they are required for actual convenience and
necessity, and that safety to the traveling public will not be compromised.
() Not Encroach. All driveways shall be located so that the flared portion
adjacent to the traveled way shall not encroach upon adjoining property.
(S) Intersection With Other Roadways. Road approaches shall intersect other
roadways at ninety (90) degrees for a tangent distance of one hundred (100)
feet from the centerline intersections. At intersections with major collectors
this distance shall be increased to two hundred (200) feet. Driveways shall
intersect the edge of the travelled way at ninety (90) degrees. This alignment
shall be maintained within the public way. Beyond the right -of -way line onto
the adjacent property, permissible axis angles of driveways in relationship to
the right -of -way line shall be between ninety (90) and sixty (60) degrees.
(9) Maximum Width. Commercial driveways shall not exceed thirty-five (35)
feet in width, as measured at right angles to the centerline of the driveway,
except as increased by return radii at the edge of the travelled way. Residential
driveways shall not exceed twenty-four (24) feet in width, measured in the
same manner.
(10) Radii. Permissible radii on driveway returns shall be governed by such factors
as the width of drive and angular placement. Where the flared edge of an
approach controls the turning radius of a vehicle entering the property by a
right turn from the adjacent outside traffic lane of the roadway, the radius of
that edge shall not be less than twenty (20) feet for passenger vehicles and not
less than fifty (50) feet where single unit or larger trucks may be expected to
use the entrance and the traffic volume on the adjacent road exceeds four
hundred (400) AADT.
10. Connections With Existing Roadways. Connections with existing roadways shall be smooth
transitions, conforming to normal vertical curve or grade break criteria. When a vertical curve
is used to make this transition, it shall be fully accomplished prior to the connection with the
existing roadway.
a. Existing Grades. Existing grades shall be shown for at least three hundred (300) feet,
with field verified as- builts showing stations and elevations at fifty (50) foot intervals
in level terrain and twenty -five (25) foot intervals in rolling and mountainous terrain.
For a connection with an existing intersection, these as- builts shall be shown within a
three hundred (300) foot radius of the intersection. This information shall be included
in the plan and profile of the proposed roadway.

b. Plan View. Limits and characteristics of the existing improvements shall be shown in
the plan view. Such characteristics include horizontal alignment, off -site intersections,
limits of the improvements, and similar factors.
C. Previously Approved Designs. Previously approved designs for the existing
improvement are not an acceptable means of establishing existing grades, however,
they shall be referenced, on the construction plans, where they occur.
d. Basis of As -Built Elevations. The basis of the as -built elevations shall be the same as
the design elevations (both flowline or top of curb or edge of pavement).
11. Off -Site Design. The design grade, and existing ground at that design grade, of all roadways
that dead end due to project phasing, subdivision boundaries or similar factors shall be

SECTION 4 -650 DRAINAGE STANDARDS
A. Purpose and Applicability.
1. Purpose. Land development, particularly increased impervious surface area, has been shown
to degrade water quality and alter natural hydrology. The standards of this section are intended
to minimize the likelihood and extent of flooding and environmental damage from uncontrolled
urban runoff.
2. Applicability. These standards shall apply to any commercial or industrial development, any
proposed subdivision or PUD, proposed development within one hundred (100) feet of a water
body, and to any other development creating ten thousand (10,000) square feet or more of
impervious surface area.
B. Standards. Stormwater runoff from all proposed development shall be managed so as to comply with
the following standards. Other techniques, not specifically identified, may be considered for
implementation subject to the approval of Eagle County.
1. No Direct Discharge. Stormwater discharge shall comply with one (1) of the following
management options:
a. Vegetated Surface. Sheetflow across at least one hundred (100) feet of stable,
vegetated surface prior to discharge to any natural water body, or flow in one hundred
(100) feet of non - erosive grass channels;
b. Detention. On -site treatment of stormwater by use of best management practices
designed to detain and infiltrate the runoff and approved as part of the Stormwater
Control Plan prior to discharge to any natural water body; or
C. Structure. Discharge to a stormwater conveyance structure, designed to accommodate
the projected additional flows from the proposed project, with treatment by a
stormwater treatment facility prior to discharge into any natural water body.

ARTICLE 4: SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 4 -650. DRAINAGE STANDARDS
2. Minimize Directly- Connected Impervious Areas. The extent of directly - connected ,
impervious areas shall be minimized by having runoff from fifty (50) percent of all developed
impervious surfaces (rooftops, parking lots, sidewalks, etc.) drain over grass buffer strips
before reaching stormwater conveyance systems. The fifty (50) percent requirement may be
reduced if the outflow from the grass filter strip is directed to other stormwater treatment
methods.
a. Examples. Examples of other potential techniques to be used in conjunction with grass
buffer strips are: infiltration devices; constructed wetlands; sand filters; replacing curb
and gutter systems with low velocity grass lined swales; and, over - sizing swales,
ditches and culvert crossing (such as driveway intersections) to provide additional
detention storage.
b. Slope. The maximum allowable slope for developed land surfaces that drain to grass
buffer strips is ten (10) percent. The slope of the vegetative buffer strip itself should
be no greater than five (5) percent and should be of a uniform gradient to insure evenly
distributed sheet flows. Terracing and retaining wall construction may be required if
necessary to maintain allowable slopes.
C. Formula. The design width, or distance along the sheet flow direction, shall be the
greater of the following:
width = 8.0 feet
0.2 L
Where L equals the length of the flow path of the sheet flow over the upstream
impervious surface.
3. Detain and Treat Run -off. Permanent stormwater detention facilities shall be designed to: (1)
treat stormwater for pollutant removal; (2) reduce peak flows to historic levels; (3) minimize
extreme flooding; and, (4) prevent erosion of downstream channels. Detention facilities shall
be designed to comply with the following standards:
a. Pollutant Removal. Removal of pollutants shall be accomplished by providing ninety
(90) percent trap efficiency for particles 0.005 nun in diameter or larger from the two
(2) year, twenty -four (24) hour storm. For drainage from parking lots, vehicle
maintenance facilities, or other areas with extensive vehicular use, this standard may
require the use of a sand and oil grease trap or similar practice (e.g., constructed
wetland, extended detention with no initial release, etc.).
b. Peak Flow Reduction. Peak flow reduction shall be accomplished by limiting
detention pond release rates to historic (undeveloped) peak flows for all storms up to
and including the twenty -five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour design storm. In
determining runoff rates, the entire area contributing runoff must be considered,
including any off -site contribution. Off -site contributions shall be based on the fully

property damage or loss of life, all permanent stormwater detention facilities must
provide for the safe passage of the one hundred (100) year storm event.
C. Downstream Channels. Channels downstream from the discharge of stormwater shall
be protected from increased channel scour, bank instability, and erosion and
sedimentation from the twenty -five (25) year design storm. The use of natural drainage
ways as receiving streams is required unless it can be shown that no alternatives to
changing natural drainage locations exist.
C. Stormwater Control Plan. An applicant for any development listed in Section 4 -650 A.2.,
Applicability, shall submit a stormwater control plan prepared by a qualified professional. The plan
shall contain the applicable information as listed in Section 4 -660 C., Erosion and Sediment Control
Plan, and the following additional information:
Calculations. Hydrologic, hydraulic and all other calculations used to size and design drainage
facilities and /or structural best management practices.
2. Maintenance. Maintenance measures for all proposed best management practices shall be
identified including access, schedules, costs, and designation of a responsible party.
SECTION 4 -660 GRADING AND EROSION CONTROL STANDARDS
A. Purpose and Applicability.

seeded and mulched within seven (7) days after final grade is reached. Grass or straw mulch
shall be crimped in place. On slopes steeper than twenty (20) percent, or within fifty (50) feet
of any water body, exposed soils shall be hydromulched or covered with nets or mats. I
.
Permanent Revegetation. Any disturbed area that is not built upon for one (1) year or longer
shall be revegetated with a perennial, native grass mix. Within one growing season of project
completion, vegetative site coverage shall be equal to or greater than seventy (70) percent of
the disturbed areas.
4. Cut and Fill Slopes. Where cut and fill cannot be avoided, slopes shall be designed for long
term stability. Permanent vegetation should be used as the preferred approach to stabilization
of cut and fill areas where slopes are less than or equal to three to one (3:1). On steeper cut
and fill slopes, stabilization may be attained by utilizing retaining walls, rock walls, up slope
runoff diversions, slope drains or other measures appropriate for the specific situation. Step
retaining walls shall be positioned such that the width of the step is half the height of the wall.
Retaining walls over four (4) feet in height shall be designed by a professional engineer.
Revegetation of the steps is required. In no case shall the soil surface of a cut and fill slope
remain exposed without an approved method of soil stabilization.
5. Construction in or Adjacent to a Water Body. Construction in or directly adjacent to any
water body, such as culvert or bridge installation, shall require bed and bank stabilization. This
may include stream isolation through the use of coffer dams, complete containment of the
stream in the area of the disturbance, stream crossing structures, or limits on the dates when - ?1
in- stream work can be performed.
6. Channels and Ditches. New or re- routed irrigation ditches, receiving channels and streams
shall be protected so that flows from the site do not cause erosion and flooding.
7. Stormwater Runoff. Stormwater runoff flows shall be managed to minimize erosion and
sediment transport. Concentrated flows shall be diverted away from disturbed slopes. The
length and steepness of disturbed slopes shall be minimized, or slope drains shall be used.
8. Sediment and Mud Control. Sediment and mud shall be prevented from leaving the
construction site by immediate placement of street base or construction of mud pads in access
routes. Mud pads shall be at least fifty (50) feet in length and comprised of angular rock and /or
a wheel washing facility. Adjacent properties shall be protected by using sediment fences,
straw bales, and silt traps. Storm sewer inlets shall be protected from entry of sediment -laden
water.
9. Sediment Detention. When the contributing drainage area, including off -site area, is greater
than five (5) acres, sediment detention ponds, infiltration devices, and other management
practices which store or detain runoff shall be used to treat sediment - containing runoff prior to
discharge from the construction site. These practices shall be designed to treat the runoff from
the two (2) year, twenty -four (24) hour storm. Sediment detention ponds, when included, shall

larger diameter. If the discharge from the pond is passed through a filtration (i.e. a constructed
wetland) or infiltration device, the trap efficiency requirements may be reduced. Where the
contributing drainage area is less than five (5) acres, a specific engineered design for these
sediment trapping facilities shall not be required. Silt traps may be used to detain and treat
runoff if the contributing drainage area is less than five (5) acres.
10. Temporary Sediment Ponds. Temporary sediment ponds that will be removed after successful
revegetation of the site shall be designed to safely detain and release all storms up to and
including the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm at its historic, pre - development
rate of release.. Ponds that will be left as permanent facilities shall have a capacity to safely
pass the one hundred (100) year flood and meet any dam and diversion requirements of the
State Engineer.
11. Construction De- Watering. All construction de- watering activities shall conform with the
State's construction de- watering permit requirements, which include daily monitoring of total

a. Sketch Plan. The purpose of sketch plan review is for the applicant, the County
and the public to evaluate and discuss the basic concepts for development of the
proposed PUD, and to consider whether development of the property as a PUD
will result in a significant improvement over its development as a conventional
subdivision. It is the time when determinations should be made as to whether the
proposed PUD complies with the purpose and intent of these Regulations and with
the Eagle County Master Plan and is generally compatible with surrounding land
uses. It is also the opportunity to reach general agreement on such issues as the
appropriate range of units and commercial space for development; the types of
use, dimensional limitations and other variations that may be considered; the
general locations intended for development and the areas planned to remain
undeveloped; the general alignments for access; and whether water supply and
sewage disposal will be provided via on -site systems or through connection to
public systems. The outcome of sketch plan review should be an identification of
