Larimer County lays out fall land‑use calendar; data‑center rules and TDR on agenda

Rebecca Everett, the county community development director, presented a schedule of upcoming hearings and work sessions the board and planning commission will consider through the fall.

Key dates she highlighted include a Land Use hearing on Monday, Aug. 24 for the Life Quest rezoning, a Planning Commission hearing Aug. 19 where staff will seek a recommendation on the transfer‑of‑development‑rights program and a Board of County Commissioners land‑use hearing on Sept. 14 to consider that program and strategic growth and water supply comprehensive plan elements. A joint work session on Sept. 9 will include the manufactured housing preservation rezoning, a data‑center regulation update and the strategic growth/water supply elements.

Everett said staff will resume outreach to advisory boards and the public once draft data‑center code language is available and that her team plans to have final regulations in place before the moratorium on data‑center applications expires in February. She reminded commissioners that the special events land‑use code amendments and the manufactured housing preservation zone district will move through Planning Commission and the board in September through November.
