30-28-113. Regulation of size and use - districts - definitions - repeal
Status: repealed

30-28-113. Regulation of size and use - districts - definitions - repeal. (1) (a) Except as otherwise provided in section 34-1-305, C.R.S., when the county planning commission of any county makes, adopts, and certifies to the board of county commissioners plans for zoning the unincorporated territory within any county, or any part thereof, including both the full text of a zoning resolution and the maps, after public hearing thereon, the board of county commissioners, by resolution, may regulate, in any portions of such county that lie outside of cities and towns:

(I) The location, height, bulk, and size of buildings and other structures;

(II) The percentage of lots that may be occupied;

(III) The size of yards, courts, and other open spaces;

(IV) The uses of buildings and structures for trade, industry, residence, recreation, public activities, or other purposes;

(V) Access to sunlight for solar energy devices; and

(VI) The uses of land for trade, industry, residence, recreation, or other purposes and for flood control.

(b) (I) In order to accomplish such regulation, the board of county commissioners:

(A) May divide the territory of the county that lies outside of cities and towns into districts or zones of such number, shape, or area as it may determine, and, within such districts or any of them, may regulate the erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, and uses of buildings and structures and the uses of land; and

(B) May require and provide for the issuance of building permits as a condition precedent to the right to erect, construct, reconstruct, or alter any building or structure within any district covered by such zoning resolution.

(II) (A) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the aggregate of all charges or other related or associated fees a county shall impose or assess to install an active solar energy system or geothermal energy system shall not exceed the lesser of the county's actual costs in issuing the permit or five hundred dollars for a residential application or one thousand dollars for a nonresidential application if the device or system produces fewer than two megawatts of direct current electricity or an equivalent-sized thermal energy system, or that exceed the county's actual costs in issuing the permit if the device or system produces at least two megawatts of direct current electricity or an equivalent-sized thermal energy system. A county may increase its fees or other charges as authorized by this subsection (1)(b)(II) by no more than five percent on an annual basis until the five hundred dollar limitation specified in this subsection (1)(b)(II) is achieved. The county shall clearly and individually identify all fees and taxes assessed on an application subject to this subsection (1)(b)(II) on the invoice. The general assembly hereby finds that there is a statewide need for certainty regarding the fees that can be assessed for permitting such devices or systems, and therefore declares that this subsection (1)(b)(II) is a matter of statewide concern. This subsection (1)(b)(II) is repealed, effective December 31, 2029.

(B) In the case of a nonresidential application, on an individual installation basis only, if the county incurs actual costs for issuing the permit that are greater than one thousand dollars, the county is entitled to recovery of its actual costs for issuing the permit by submitting in writing and disclosing to the applicant for the particular permit proof of the county's actual costs.

(C) As used in this subsection (1)(b)(II), "active solar energy system" means a single system that contains electric generation, a thermal device, or is an energy storage system as defined in section 40-2-202 (2), and "geothermal energy system" means a system that uses geothermal energy for water heating or space heating or cooling in a single building, for space heating for more than one building through a pipeline network, or for electricity generation.

(2) The county planning commission may make and certify a single plan for the entire unincorporated portion of the county or separate and successive plans for those parts which it deems to be urbanized or suitable for urban development and those parts which, by reason of distance from existing urban communities or for other causes, it deems suitable for nonurban development. Any resolution adopted by the board of county commissioners may cover and include the unincorporated territory covered and included in any such single plan or in any of such separate and successive plans. No resolution covering more or less than the territory covered by any such certified plan shall be adopted or put into effect until and unless it is first submitted to the county planning commission which certified the plan to the board of county commissioners and is approved by said commission or, if disapproved, receives the favorable vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of such board. All such regulations shall be uniform for each class or kind of building or structure throughout any district, but the regulations in any one district may differ from those in other districts.

Status: in_force

All such bonds shall be issued upon estimates approved by the board, and the county treasurer shall preserve a record of the same in a suitable book kept for that purpose. All such bonds shall be subscribed by the chair of the board, countersigned by the county treasurer, with the county seal affixed, and attested by the county clerk and recorder; except that the county treasurer need not countersign a bond issued by a district formed for the purposes authorized in section 30-20-603 (11.5). Such bonds shall be payable out of the moneys collected on account of the assessments made for said improvements, from reserve accounts, if any, established to secure the payment of such bonds, and from any other legally available moneys. All moneys collected from such assessments for any improvement shall be applied to the payment of the bonds issued, until payment in full is made of all the bonds, both principal and interest, or to fund or replenish reserve accounts, if any, established to secure the payment of such bonds. The bonds may be sold, under such terms and conditions as are established by the board, in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay for the cost of the improvements.

(2) Whenever three-fourths of the bonds issued pursuant to subsection (1) of this section for an improvement constructed under this part 6 have been paid and canceled and for any reason any remaining assessments are not paid in time to pay the remaining bonds for the district and the interest due thereon, the county may pay, from legally available moneys, the bonds when due and the interest due thereon and may reimburse itself by collecting the unpaid assessments due the district.

(3) When all bonds of an improvement district have been paid, any moneys remaining to the credit of such district may be transferred to a special surplus and deficiency fund, and whenever there is a deficiency in any improvement district bond fund to meet the payment of outstanding bonds for other improvement districts and interest due thereon, or to redeem such outstanding bonds in accordance with any estimated redemption schedule used in connection with the sale of such bonds, the deficiency may be paid from the moneys available therefor in the surplus and deficiency fund.

(4) For the purpose of paying all or such portion of the costs of any improvement constructed pursuant to section 30-20-603 (1)(a) and (1)(c) to which the revenues from any sales tax imposed pursuant to section 30-20-604.5 have been pledged, revenue bonds may be issued, which shall be payable solely from such sales tax. Such bonds shall be issued on the terms set forth in section 29-2-112, C.R.S.

(5) In connection with the issuance of bonds payable solely from special assessments as provided in subsection (1) of this section, the board may provide by resolution for the submission of the question of issuing such bonds to the electors eligible to vote on the question. In that case, the board may provide by resolution that all registered electors of the county shall be eligible to vote on the question or that only electors of the district shall be eligible to vote on the question.

(6) In connection with the issuance of bonds payable from special assessments which are additionally secured as provided in subsection (2), (3), or (4) of this section, the board may provide by resolution for the submission of the question of issuing the bonds to all registered electors of the county.

(7) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part 6, bonds issued in accordance with the requirements of this section may be payable from the assessments levied in one or more improvement districts.

(8) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part 6, any district formed for the purpose of encouraging, accommodating, and financing improvements as authorized in section 30-20-603 (11.5) may be authorized to:

(a) Issue one or more series of bonds, and bonds of any such district may be payable from the assessments levied pursuant to one or more assessment resolutions; and

(b) Jointly finance the improvements of multiple such districts located in one or more counties by intergovernmental agreement of the organizing counties or through other legally available means. Such intergovernmental agreement may include provisions for, among other things, the transfer of revenues collected pursuant to this part 6, including assessment payments, penalty payments pursuant to section 30-20-615, and property sale proceeds pursuant to section 30-20-617, from the county treasurer of the county in which a property is located to the county treasurer for the county issuing bonds pursuant to this section.

(2) No bonds may be refunded under this part 4 unless they either mature or are callable for prior redemption under their terms within ten years from the date of issuance of the refunding bonds or unless the holders thereof voluntarily surrender them for exchange or payment. No maturity of any bond refunded may be extended over fifteen years. The rate of interest on such refunding bonds shall be determined by the board. The principal amount of the refunding bonds may exceed the principal amount of the refunded bonds if the aggregate principal and interest costs of the refunding bonds do not exceed such unaccrued costs of the bonds refunded, excluding from the computation of such limitation the amount of the principal of any refunding bonds issued to pay any interest in arrears or about to become due on the bonds refunded.

(3) The proceeds of refunding bonds shall either be immediately applied to the retirement of the bonds to be refunded or be placed in escrow to be applied to the payment of the bonds upon their presentation therefor. Any escrowed proceeds, pending such use, may be invested or reinvested in securities meeting the investment requirements established in part 6 of article 75 of title 24, C.R.S. Such escrowed proceeds and investments, together with any interest to be derived from any such investment, shall be in an amount at all times sufficient to pay the bonds refunded as they become due at their respective maturities or due at prior redemption dates as to principal, interest, any prior redemption premium due, and any charges of the escrow agent payable therefrom.

(4) Refunding revenue bonds may be made payable from any revenues derived from the operation of any water facilities or sewerage facilities or of both water facilities and sewerage facilities comprising a joint water and sewer system, notwithstanding the pledge of any such revenues for the payment of the outstanding bonds issued by the county which are to be refunded is thereby modified.

(5) Bonds for refunding and bonds for any other purpose authorized in this part 4 may be issued separately or issued in combination in one series or more.

(6) Except as expressly provided or necessarily implied in this section and in section 30-20-402 (1)(j), the relevant provisions in this part 4 pertaining to revenue bonds not issued for refunding purposes shall be equally applicable in the authorization and issuance of refunding revenue bonds, including their terms and security, the bond resolution, rates, fees, tolls, service charges, and other aspects of the bonds.

(7) The determination of the board, that the limitations under this part 4 imposed upon the issuance of refunding bonds have been met, shall be conclusive in the absence of fraud or arbitrary and gross abuse of discretion.

In the event that two or more issues of outstanding bonds of a county are to be refunded by the issuance of a single issue of refunding bonds, as provided in this section, the net interest cost and net effective interest rate on the bonds to be refunded shall be computed as if all of said bonds had originally been combined as a single issue aggregating the total of the smaller issues, and the results of this computation shall be compared with the net interest cost and net effective interest rate on the whole of the single refunding issue for purposes of determining the necessity of submitting the question of issuing such refunding bonds to a vote of the registered electors of the county.

Status: in_force

30-28-124.5. County court actions for civil penalties for zoning violations. (1) It is unlawful to erect, construct, reconstruct, alter, or use any building, structure, or land in violation of any regulation in, or of any provisions of, any zoning resolution or any amendment thereof, enacted or adopted by the board of county commissioners under the authority of this part 1. In addition to any penalties imposed pursuant to section 30-28-124, any person, firm, or corporation violating any such regulation, provision, or amendment thereof or any provision of this part 1 may be subject to the imposition, by order of the county court, of a civil penalty in an amount of not less than five hundred dollars nor more than one thousand dollars. It is within the discretion of the county attorney to determine whether to pursue the civil penalties set forth in this section, the remedies set forth in section 30-28-124, or both. Each day after the issuance of the order of the county court during which such unlawful activity continues shall be deemed a separate violation and shall, in accordance with the subsequent provisions of this section, be the subject of a continuing penalty in an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars for each such day. Until paid, any civil penalty ordered by the county court and assessed under this subsection (1) shall, as of recording, be a lien against the property on which the violation has been found to exist. In case the assessment is not paid within thirty days, it may be certified by the county attorney to the county treasurer, who shall collect the assessment, together with a ten percent penalty for the cost of collection, in the same manner as other taxes are collected. The laws of this state for assessment and collection of general taxes, including the laws for the sale and redemption of property for taxes, shall apply to the collection of assessments pursuant to this subsection (1). Any lien placed against the property pursuant to this subsection (1) shall be recorded with the clerk and recorder of the county in which the property is located.

(2) (a) In the event any building or structure is erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, or used or any land is used in violation of any regulation or provision of any zoning resolution, or amendment thereto, enacted or adopted by any board of county commissioners under the authority granted by this part 1, the county attorney of the county in which such building, structure, or land is situated, in addition to other remedies provided by law, may commence a civil action in county court for the county in which such building, structure, or land is situated, seeking the imposition of a civil penalty in accordance with the provisions of this section.

(b) A county zoning official designated by resolution of the board of county commissioners shall, upon personal information and belief that a violation of any regulation or provision of any zoning resolution enacted under the authority of this part 1 has occurred, give written notice to the violator to correct the violation within ten days after the date of the notice. If the violator fails to correct the violation within the ten-day period or within any extension period granted by the zoning official, the zoning official, the sheriff of the county, or the county attorney may issue a summons and complaint to the violator, stating the nature of the violation with sufficient particularity to give notice of the charge to the violator.

(c) One copy of the summons and complaint issued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection (2) shall be served upon the violator in the manner provided by law for the service of a county court civil summons and complaint in accordance with the Colorado rules of county court civil procedure. The summons and complaint shall also be filed with the clerk of the county court and thereafter the action shall proceed in accordance with the Colorado rules of county court civil procedure.

(d) If the county court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence, that a violation of any regulation or provision of a zoning resolution, or amendment thereto, as enacted and adopted by the board of county commissioners, has occurred, the court shall order the violator to pay a civil penalty in an amount allowed pursuant to subsection (1) of this section. The penalty shall be payable immediately by the violator to the county treasurer. In the event that the alleged violation has been cured or otherwise removed and the violator has notified the county zoning official of the cure or removal at least five business days prior to the appearance date in the summons, then the county attorney shall so inform the court and request that the action be dismissed without fine or appearance of the defendant.

(3) Upon the filing with the court of a receipt issued by the county treasurer showing payment in full of a civil penalty assessed pursuant to this section and upon the filing of an affidavit of the county zoning official that the violation has been cured, removed, or corrected, the court shall dismiss the action and issue a satisfaction in full of the judgment so entered. The court may also dismiss the action upon a motion of the county attorney indicating that the matter has been otherwise resolved.

(4) If a receipt showing full payment of the civil penalty or the affidavit or the motion by the county attorney required by subsection (3) of this section is not filed, the action shall continue and the court shall retain jurisdiction to impose an additional penalty against the violator in the amount specified in subsection (1) of this section. The additional penalty shall be imposed by the court upon motion filed by the county and proof that the violation has not been cured, removed, or corrected. Thereafter, the action shall continue until the filing with the court of a receipt issued by the county treasurer showing payment in full of the civil penalty and any additional penalties so assessed and the filing of an affidavit of the county zoning official that the violation has been cured, removed, or corrected, or until a motion by the county attorney to dismiss the action is granted by the court.
