Commission recommends approval of single‑lot development and AR 3 to 9 rezoning at Road 24.5
Summary
The planning commission recommended the Board of County Commissioners approve a single‑lot development and rezoning application for property at 5321 Road 24.5; commissioners added conditions to avoid creating setback nonconformities and reiterated requirement to inform the new owner about county land‑use code.
The Montezuma County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of a proposed single‑lot development and AR 3 to 9 rezoning application for property at 5321 Road 24.5 in Cortez. The applicant proposed creating a roughly 4‑acre lot while the remaining roughly 56 acres (from a 60‑acre parent parcel) would remain in agricultural use; planning staff said a house and utilities are already on the property.
Commissioners discussed access and setbacks. One commissioner asked that survey work ensure the new lot boundaries do not create nonconforming setbacks for existing structures; the commission added that as a condition. Commissioners also repeated a common condition used earlier on the agenda: the new owner should be made aware of the Montezuma County land‑use code.
No members of the public spoke on the item. The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval. Roll-call votes recorded: Commissioner Hernandez — Aye; Commissioner Nygaard — Aye; Commissioner Armstrong — Aye.
The recommendation is advisory and will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final action.
