The Mesa County Master Plan will be undergoing a comprehensive update.

On September 29, 2020 The Board of County Commissioners adopted amendments to the Mesa County 2020 Land Development Code. 

Revisions include: Table 3-1; Section 4.10 B.2.; Figure 4-9; Section 4.10 E.4.a.; Figure 4-10; Section 4.12 F.; Section 5.01 B.; Section 5.02 A.; Section 6.04 E.; Section 7.01 A.1.; Section 7.02 C.3.; Section 7.04 A.3.; Table 8-5; Section 8.10 D. 1.; Section 8.14 K.4.; Section 8.16 E.; and Section 9.07 A.; The proposed amendments are to correct unintentional omissions or to modify language that clarifies the intent of the specific section, table or figure. In addition, the following amendments are also being proposed: add “Animal Crematorium” as a new use in Table 6-1; and remove the notification requirements for Concept Plans and reduce the 30-day notice requirement for the Board of County Commissioners to 15 days in Table 3-2.

The amended Coe is available uner Codes, Plans & Policies.
