STANDARD: Compatible with Surrounding Uses. [Section 5-230.D.2] Does the
proposal provide compatibility with the type, intensity, character and scale of existing
and permissible land uses surrounding the subject property? Dimensional limitations of
the proposed zone district, when applied, should result in development that will be
harmonious with the physical character of existing neighborhood(s) surrounding the
subject property.

The proposed Resource Preservation zone district will serve to maintain compatibility of
future land uses in the event that United States Forest Service or Bureau of Land
Management land is ever transferred into private ownership.

STANDARD: Public Benefit. [Section 5-230.D.3] Does the proposal address a
demonstrated community need or otherwise result in one or more particular public
benefits that offset the impacts of the proposed uses requested, including but not limited
to: Affordable local resident housing; childcare facilities; multi-modal transportation,
public recreational opportunities; infrastructure improvements; preservation of
agriculture/sensitive lands.
As stated above, the purpose of the Resource Preservation (RP) zone district is to
preserve the open character and associated {lublic benefits of those lands in Eagle County,
and not located entirely within the boundaries of an existing city or town, that are owned
by the Federal Government on the date of adoption ofthis zone district in the event of
sale of such lands by the federal government into private ownership. This is
accomplished by disallowing certain land uses; requiring County approval for other land
uses which may negatively impact the scenic quality and open character of these lands
and by limiting residential development to one dwelling unit per 80 acres.

STANDARD: Change of Circumstances. [Section 5-230.D.4] Does the proposal
address or respond to a beneficial material change that has occurred to the immediate
neighborhood or to the greater Eagle County community?
Eighty percent of Eagle County's overall land area is federally owned. It is anticipated
that due to development pressures over time it may become more attractive for the
Federal Government to liquidate its land holdings. There are several sizeable federally
owned enclaves of land within Eagle County surrounded by private lands which, if
transferred into private ownership have the potential to result in 35 acre subdivisions
under the existing 'Resource' zoning. These 35 acre subdivisions may occur, without the
benefit of County review, in areas which may not have suitable access and/ or are
encumbered by a variety of natural hazard and lack of supportive infrastructure.
------
The proposed Resource Preservation zone district will restrict uses by right compelling
perspective developers to pursue land use approval through the County via the public
land use process.
Conditions have changed such that the proposed amendments are necessitated.

RESIDENTIAL, AGRICULTURAL, AND RESOURCE, BACKCOUNTRY,
FULFORD HISTORICAL AND RESOURCE PRESERVATION ZONE
DISTRICTS (am 5/15/07)
A. Residential Multi-Family (RMF). 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.

EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
ARTICLE 3: ZONE DISTRICTS
D. Rural Resideutial (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 Comprehensive Plan policies for such uses.
I. Backcountry (BC). The purpose of the Backcountry (BC) zone district is to preserve and
enhance the unique character of Eagle County's remote and unspoiled natural areas for the benefit
of all residents. The Backcountry (Be) zone district has been applied to all wilderness lands
located within Eagle County so as to: (I) protect and regulate the appropriate use of natural

J. Resource Preservation (RP). The purpose of the Resource Preservation (RP) zone
district is to preserve the open character and associated public benefits of those lands
in Eagle County, and not located entirely within the boundaries of an existing city or
town, that are owned by the Federal Government on the date of adoption of this zone
district in the event of sale of such lands by the federal government into private
ownership. This is accomplished by disallowing certain land uses;requiring County
approval for other land uses which may negatively impact the scenic quality and open
character of these lands and by limiting residential development to one dwelling unit
per 80 acres. (am 5/15/07)
J..K. Fulford Historical (FH). The purpose of the Fulford Historical (FH) zone district is to provide
for limited residential development within the existing historical Townsite of Fulford, while

development and maintenance costs and conserve energy;

in Eagle County;
E. Contribute to Trails System. Improve and enhance the County's multi-use trail system and
