The proposal presented in Monday night’s committee meeting would abandon existing land use restrictions for hazard zones altogether.
, believing it might restrict their ability to get loans or insurance on their property in the future.
Gladziszewski, who authored the new proposal, said she has not formally consulted with lending agencies or insurance agents to corroborate those concerns. Member Wade Bryson expressed his support for repealing existing development restrictions, saying that the city should leave it up to developers and property owners to avoid hazard zones.
“The concern that we’ll have a whole bunch of people building in hazard zones because we don’t have a hazard or an avalanche zone labeled, I think that would be mistaken thinking,” Bryson said.But it would adopt the new avalanche maps — which are similar to the old ones — and enact an updated land use code for avalanche zones only. The details of that updated code have not yet been outlined.
The new proposal will be the basis for a draft land use ordinance, which will be discussed in a future committee of the whole meeting.Email Address
