Hayden begins land-use code revisions in Planning Commission study session

Hayden Town Council · March 5, 2026

Summary

A Clarion consultant briefed the Hayden Planning Commission and Town Council on next steps for revisions to the town's land-use (development) code; public commenters raised concerns about downtown CBD/infill designation and grading rules.

A Clarion consultant presented next steps for revising Hayden's Development Code at a joint study session with the Planning Commission, focusing on updates to the town's land-use provisions.

Maggie of Clarion outlined the timeline and substantive focus on land-use rules. Planning Commission members Mo Demorat, Charlie Cook, Carly Kelly and Ben Robbins attended to discuss how proposed revisions would affect zoning and downtown redevelopment. Several residents later addressed the Council during public comment with suggestions and concerns; meeting materials include handouts submitted by Karen Hughes on the proposed code changes.

Why it matters: the town's land-use code determines zoning, infill standards and grading requirements for downtown redevelopment. Residents raised specific concerns about the classification of nine downtown square blocks as CBD/infill and about grading and landscaping standards that will influence future projects. Council and staff agreed to continue work with Clarion and the Planning Commission on draft language for public review.
