Rangely holds first reading of municipal code updates to land‑use rules
Summary
Council reviewed a first reading of an ordinance to update Title 15 (land‑use code) to modernize municipal code language and processing timelines; Planning & Zoning recommended approval and the ordinance requires a second reading before adoption.
Town planning staff presented a first reading of an ordinance that would repeal and replace several sections of Title 15 to bring the municipal land‑use code up to current standards and add clearer timelines for permit processing. Planning & Zoning held three work sessions and recommended the changes to the council; staff emphasized that this was a first reading and "there won't be a vote on this tonight."
Council members were asked to read the draft and raise questions at the next meeting; staff said the second reading will be scheduled the same night as the council's budget meeting so councilors can consider the ordinance alongside budget items. The proposed changes do not affect building codes but would modernize municipal code language and processing rules for land‑use requests.
