Department
DEPARTMENT: Planning & Development
Presenter
PRESENTER(S): Kelly Driscoll, Planning Manager
Policy
POLICY ISSUES:
State law requires the Town to adopt a Three-Mile Plan. Consistent with the Town’s past practice and prevailing practice elsewhere in Colorado, the Resolution proposes adopting a Three-Mile plan that can be used alongside the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and other long range and strategic plans.
Recommendation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Resolution adopting the Three-Mile Plan
Body
SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• C.R.S. § 31-12-105(1)(e) requires the Town of Erie to annually adopt a Three-Mile Plan that generally describes the location, character, and extent of future public utilities and infrastructure as well as proposed land uses in an area extending three miles beyond the municipal boundaries, prior to completing annexation of land.
• Historically, staff have relied on the Three-Mile Plan, the Comprehensive Plan, and additional long range and strategic plans previously adopted and used by the Town to help inform development decisions.
• This is the practice of most municipalities in Colorado. Therefore, a Resolution formally adopting the compilation of land use plans, procedures and documents as the Three-Mile Plan for the Town is appropriate.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Since adopting the Three-Mile Plan in 2024 the following have been updated:
• Erie Municipal Code
• Official Zoning Map
• Standards and Specifications for Design and Construction of Public Improvements
