Rangely council holds first reading on major land‑use code update
Summary
Council opened first reading of Ordinance 705 (2025) to repeal and replace multiple sections of Title 15 of the Rangely Municipal Code as part of an update to the town's land‑use code; PNZ recommended moving the draft to council for two readings.
The Rangely Town Council opened first reading of Ordinance 705 (2025), a package of revisions to Title 15 of the Rangely Municipal Code intended to modernize the town’s land‑use regulations.
Council members said Planning and Zoning (PNZ) reviewed the draft in three work sessions and recommended the ordinance advance to the council for formal consideration. The first reading was informational only; no final vote was taken.
A staff presenter said the package updates archaic code language, adds procedures to process requests in a timely manner and does not affect building codes. Councilmembers were asked to review the text and bring questions to the next meeting, when a second reading and possible adoption will be considered alongside the budget schedule.
Because this was a first reading, council members did not take public testimony or vote on the ordinance; the council asked staff and PNZ to continue outreach and to provide clarifications before the second reading.
