Project Description:

in 2020, the County started seeing an increase in the number of land use applications. To address the increased number and complexity of the requests, the County Land Use Administrator reached out to CPS for support with reviewing and facilitating multiple gravel mining applications and meetings with landowners wishing to develop and re-develop property. CPS successfully oversaw multiple applications to add capacity to the limited County land use staff. In addition to land use applications, County Land Use staff relies on CPS team members for guidance on a variety of interpretation determinations, applying land use regulations to situations, and to act as an all around sounding board.

The relationship between CPS and Rio Grande County is built on trust and honesty and forged through a number of deliberate discussions that really stretched both CPS team members and the county elected and appointed officials. We are honored to continue working to support the county in protecting private property rights, preserving the agricultural economy of the San Luis Valley, and fostering a sustainable development pattern long into the future.
