Future Land Use Plan

The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) will guide future growth and provide assistance in making zoning and subdivision decisions and is the graphical representation of future growth patterns. The FLUP will be incorporated into the La Plata County Comprehensive Community Plan.

FLUP Focus Groups:  The goal of the Focus Groups will be to provide significant preliminary input into the development of the DRAFT Future Land Use Plan which will be completed by the Citizen’s Working Group and planning team.  Focus Groups will be formed of willing community members.  Focus Group participants will attend two workshops.  Focus Group participants are required to attend a series of 2 meetings: a 2-hour Land Use Analyses Tools and an all-day Future Land Use Planning Charrette. 

Citizen’s Working Group: The Citizen’s Working Group will work with the planning team to integrate community input from the focus groups into the Draft Future Land Use Map for La Plata County.

Draft Comprehensive Community Plan Workshops: Following the completion of the Draft FLUP this winter, the entire Draft Comprehensive Community Plan, which includes the Comprehensive Plan Vision, Goals, and Strategies and the Future Land Use Plan, will be available for public review with community meetings held throughout the County and open to all. These workshops will be an interactive event where participants will work with a facilitator and provide feedback on the future land use designations for the County.

Final Comprehensive Plan/FLUP Public Hearings: the Future Land Use Plan will be presented to the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners at public meetings for their concurrence.
