Based on Council direction during the October 25, 2022, Work Session discussion and the April 2023 adoption of Ordinance No. 151, 2022 for new oil and gas well sittings, staff seek to update the reverse setback development standards (LUC 3.8.26) to reflect recent changes in the Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) regulations, recently adopted Ordinance No. 151, 2022 – AMENDING THE LAND USE CODE TO REGULATE OIL AND GAS FACILITIES AND PIPELINES, and lessons learned over the past 4 years, including: ? Apply reverse setback buffers to all occupiable buildings, not just residential uses; and ? Explicitly state required setback buffers, rather than refer generally to ECMC rules; and ?

The purpose of this item is to adopt Land Use Code provisions to add specific regulations outlining how the City will make water adequacy determinations for development. The proposed regulations are divided into three different categories for: (1) established potable water supply entities; (2) new, or other potable water supply entities; and, (3) non-potable water supply entities. The goals of these changes include: complying with Colorado state statutory requirements (Section 29-20-301, et seq., C.R.S.); ensuring development has an adequate water supply; providing City staff with guidance to make these determinations and applicants with certainty on the requirements; and ensuring that growth and development in the City occur in a planned and coordinated manner. Other than minor, non-substantive clarifications, the proposed regulations are the same as those discussed at the June 6, 2023, Work Session. The Planning & Zoning Commission has recommended adoption of the proposed regulations (4-2 vote).
Diverse programming line-up consisting primarily of City and County government proceedings. Debate and discussion of local issues, health and safety features. Informational and educational programs highlighting government services, activities and projects.
