2021 Colorado Code|Title 30 - Government - County|Article 28 - County Planning and Building Codes|Part 1 - County Planning|§ 30-28-127. Public Utilities Exceptions

 None of the provisions of this part 1 shall apply to any existing building, structure, or plant or other equipment owned or used by any public utility. After the adoption of a plan, all extensions, betterments, or additions to buildings, structures, or plant or other equipment of any public utility shall only be made in conformity with such plan, unless, after public hearing first had, the public utilities commission orders that such extensions, betterments, or additions to buildings, structures, or plant or other equipment are reasonable and that such extensions, betterments, or additions may be made even though they conflict with the adopted plan.

ANNOTATION   Administrative agency proceeding by Public Utilities Commission was quasi-judicial where it rendered its decision by applying the reasonableness standard set forth in this section, the parties adversely affected by the decision were identifiable, no new rule of general application resulted, and notice and a public hearing were required. Douglas County Bd. of Comm'rs v. Pub. Utils. Comm'n, 829 P.2d 1303 (Colo. 1992).   The requirement that the Public Utilities Commission find a proposed improvement to be ”reasonable“ before ordering an upgrade to equipment contrary to a county land use plan, read in the context of the statutory scheme covering county planning along with the rules that the Public Utilities Commission has adopted, provides an adequate standard. Douglas County Bd. of Comm'rs v. Pub. Utils. Comm'n, 829 P.2d 1303 (Colo. 1992).   In determining whether any improvement or upgrade in accordance with this section is reasonable statutory considerations for county or regional planning commissions are also factors for the Public Utilities Commission to consider. Douglas County Bd. of Comm'rs v. Pub. Utils. Comm'n, 829 P.2d 1303 (Colo. 1992).   It is within the discretion of the Public Utilities Commission to determine what factors are germane to assessing the reasonableness of an utility upgrade, because the Public Utilities Commission has the knowledge and expertise to determine when, and under what circumstances, an upgrade is reasonable and it is constitutionally authorized to make such determinations.

  In any instance where a regional planning commission is unable to perform on time and in sufficient detail a plan or survey or study which is its primary responsibility and where such plan or survey or study has been requested and is urgent for the development of a district, county, or municipality, then, upon formal notice to the regional planning commission, the local commission may proceed to make such plan or survey or study for its own area. In such instances, the regional planning commission may adopt such plan or survey or study as part of its regional plan and may take primary responsibility for the expansion of the study or plan into other jurisdictions.    A regional planning commission may agree or contract with any governmental or quasi-governmental body within the region to make any plan or survey or study for such governmental or quasi-governmental body, irrespective of whether such plan or survey or study is the primary responsibility of such regional planning commission.    A regional planning commission may agree or contract with any constituent government to have it make any plan or survey or study which is the primary responsibility of the regional planning commission.

 No person may submit an application for subdivision approval to a local authority unless the subdivision plan or plat provides, pursuant to section 43-2-147 , C.R.S., that all lots and parcels created by the subdivision will have access to the state highway system in conformance with the state highway access code.

For article, ”Local Government Exactions from Developers after Beaver Meadows“, see 16 Colo. Law. 42 (1987).   Board of county commissioners abused its discretion in approving planned unit development because record contains no evidence of year-around access to the state highway system at the time of final approval. Plain language of this section does not allow postponing access beyond the application for final subdivision approval. Final approval of a subdivision application predicated on obtaining access to the state highway system by an as yet undetermined route would constitute an abuse of discretion because the subdivision might never have the required statutory access. This section requires at a minimum year-round wheeled vehicle access between state highway and village. Because subject road is not usable by wheeled vehicles during winter, purpose of this section not satisfied. Wolf Creek Ski Corp. v. Bd. of County Comm'rs, 170 P.3d 821 (Colo. App. 2007).

The board of county commissioners may fix per diem compensation and terms for the members of such boards of review, which terms shall be of such length and so arranged that the terms of at least one member will expire each year.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 30 - Government - County|Article 28 - County Planning and Building Codes|Part 3 - Establishment of Subdivision Exemption Plats for the Purpose of Correcting Legal Descriptions|§ 30-28-301. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that, in certain areas of the state, property has been conveyed as irregular parcels or as parcels platted prior to establishment of current subdivision regulations. Situations exist where the physical layout of lots conveyed in this manner are not in dispute, but the legal descriptions of these lots contain inaccuracies such that conflicts exist in the written record locating property boundaries. These conflicts in the legal descriptions jeopardize the ability of property owners to utilize and to convey their property. These conflicts often affect a number of properties such that the most efficient means of correcting them is to create a subdivision exemption plat for the area which can be used as a uniform basis for legal descriptions. The inability of property owners to resolve conflicts in legal descriptions is contrary to the public welfare and interferes with efficient and economic development and utilization of land.    It is the purpose of this part 3 to provide for the preparation of subdivision exemption plats for unplatted areas or for areas platted prior to current subdivision regulations which can be used as a uniform basis for legal descriptions of such areas.
