2021 Colorado Code|Title 31 - Government - Municipal|Article 23 - Planning and Zoning|Part 2 - Planning Commission|§ 31-23-222. Report of Appraisers - Action by the Governing Body

  The board of appraisers, within ninety days after the time fixed for the filing of claims, shall file its tentative report with the clerk setting forth its findings as to the amounts of compensation to be paid the respective owners of the lands included within the lines of such reservations as located on the approved plat. Thereupon the clerk shall publish once a week for two consecutive weeks in at least two newspapers of general circulation in the municipality the fact of the filing of the report of the appraisers and specify a period of thirty days after the date of the first such publication within which objections to the report may be filed with the clerk. If objections are filed within said period, the clerk shall cause the board of appraisers to hold a meeting at which said objections shall be transmitted to the board, and the board may modify its report. The report in its original form or, if modified, in its modified form shall be transmitted to the governing body by the clerk.    Before passing on the report, the governing body may return it to the board of appraisers for reconsideration, and the board, upon further consideration, may transmit its former or modified report to the governing body. The governing body may approve or disapprove the report. If the report is approved by the governing body, it shall provide for the payment of the amounts of compensation set forth in the report within ninety days after the filing of the report with the governing body. In the case of those property owners who file claims, payment shall be made through the clerk who shall notify the claimants at the addresses given upon the claims filed with him. Payments to all other persons shall be made through the clerk of the district court of the county in which the reserved location is situated by the payment to said clerk of the amounts awarded to such persons. Notice of distribution to such persons shall be given and made as may be provided by a rule or order of said court. Payments made to the clerk or clerk of the district court within said ninety days shall be deemed compliance with the above requirement for payment within ninety days.    If the governing body disapproves the report or fails to provide for such payment within ninety days, such disapproval or failure shall be deemed a dismissal of the proceedings, a cancellation of the plat, and an abandonment of the reservations of the street locations as shown on the plat, with the same liability of the municipality for expenses as provided in the case of abandonment by resolution. Thereafter the clerk shall transmit to the county clerk and recorder an attested statement of such abandonment.     History. Source: L. 75: Entire title R&RE, p. 1152, § 1, effective July 1.

 For any of the purposes enumerated in section 31-23-301 , the governing body may divide the municipality into districts of such number, shape, and area as may be deemed best suited to carry out the purposes of this part 3, and within such districts it may regulate and restrict the erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, or use of buildings, structures, or land. All such regulations shall be uniform for each class or kind of buildings throughout each district, but the regulations in one district may differ from those in other districts.   History.

For article, “The Antitrust Challenge to Local Government Protection of the Central Business District”, see 55 U. Colo. L. Rev. 21 (1983).   Annotator's note. Since § 31-23-302 is similar to former § 31-23-202 prior to the 1975 repeal and reenactment of this title, and laws antecedent thereto, relevant cases construing those provisions have been included in the annotations to this section.   Establishment of zoning district boundary lines in a legislative function. Zoning necessarily requires the establishment of boundary lines between different districts and the selection of the boundary line is a legislative function with which courts should not interfere, and only where the determination of the zoning authority is so unreasonable, arbitrary, capricious, and unjustifiable as to amount to a violation of constitutional rights are the courts permitted to interfere. Nopro Co. v. Town of Cherry Hills Vill., 180 Colo. 217 , 504 P.2d 344 (1972).   And having different classifications in different district does not deny equal protection. The fact that, under zoning laws, adjoining properties in other districts may be put to different and possibly more advantageous uses does not afford a basis for concluding there is a denial of equal protection of the laws. Nopro Co. v. Town of Cherry Hills Vill., 180 Colo. 217 , 504 P.2d 344 (1972); City & County of Denver v. Chuck Ruwart Chevrolet, Inc., 32 Colo. App. 191, 508 P.2d 789 (1973).   Applied in Wood Bros.

 The governing body of such municipality shall provide for the manner in which such regulations and restrictions and the boundaries of such districts are determined, established, enforced, and, from time to time, amended, supplemented, or changed. However, no such regulation, restriction, or boundary shall become effective until after a public hearing thereon at which parties in interest and citizens shall have an opportunity to be heard. At least fifteen days' notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be published in an official paper or a paper of general circulation in such municipality.   History.

ANNOTATION   Quasi-judicial function subject to certiorari review. Enactment of a rezoning ordinance by the legislative body of a city, governed by both state zoning statutes as well as the municipal code, pursuant to statutory criteria, after notice and a public hearing, constitutes a quasi-judicial function subject to certiorari review. Snyder v. City of Lakewood, 189 Colo. 421 , 542 P.2d 371 (1975).   This section expressly applies only to amendments made by municipalities of their own ordinances, and not to enactments of the general assembly. Glennon Heights, Inc. v. Central Bank & Trust, 658 P.2d 872 (Colo. 1983).   Statutory city may not provide for automatic rezoning when plat not approved. While a statutory city may provide that property being rezoned may not be used until the plat of the rezoned property is approved, it may not provide for automatic rezoning to the prior classification if the plat is not approved. Spiker v. City of Lakewood, 198 Colo. 528 , 603 P.2d 130 (1979).

The governing body shall not hold its public hearings or take action until it has received the final report of such commission.

 In case any building or structure is erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, repaired, converted, or maintained or any building, structure, or land is used in violation of this part 3 or of any ordinance or other regulation made under authority conferred by this part 3, the proper local authorities of the municipality, in addition to other remedies, may institute any appropriate action or proceedings to prevent such unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, conversion, maintenance, or use to restrain, correct, or abate such violation, to prevent the occupancy of said building, structure, or land, or to prevent any illegal act, conduct, business, or use in or about such premises.

Injunctive relief appropriate. Where city established that property was being used in violation of a zoning ordinance, and that lessee of property failed to present evidence constituting a defense, injunctive relief was appropriate. City & County of Denver v. Chuck Ruwart Chevrolet, Inc., 32 Colo. App. 191, 508 P.2d 789 (1973).   Uses not in compliance with zoning may be enjoined. City of Englewood v. Kingsley, 178 Colo. 338 , 497 P.2d 1004 (1972).   But even when permitted by zoning regulations, uses may be enjoined if they constitute a nuisance. City of Englewood v.
