MINTURN FORWARD:  LAND USE AND SUBDIVISION REGULATION UPDATE PROJECT

The Town is updating its land use, development, and subdivision regulations (Chapters 16 and 17 of the Minturn Municipal Code), and moving the Town forward after the recent adoption of the 2023 Minturn Community Plan which is intended to guide the Town’s land use and development decision making over the next 10-15 years

A series of open houses will be hosted by the town to provide opportunities for community members to ask questions and offer input on the update to Minturn’s land use regulations.

Open House Format:

The intent of the open houses is to provide community members with an opportunity to provide input on the following:

  • The physical characteristics (i.e., types of land use activities, architectural styles, building scale, street and streetscape design, etc.) that make distinct areas/neighborhoods in Minturn unique places. 
  • Physical changes that they’d like to see occur in the future, as well as changes that they would not want to occur.
  • Other thoughts that they want to offer to help guide the town’s effort to update local land use regulations.

The open houses will take place concurrently with the online survey and while staff works on updating sections of the Town’s land use regulations that are more focused on administrative and process-related sections of the code.

The open houses will provide community members with an opportunity to have group discussions about areas/neighborhoods in Minturn and to offer an opportunity for people to provide input to supplement their survey responses or as an alternative to participating in the survey. Further, the open houses will also provide an opportunity to spread the word about the Minturn Forward Code Update project and the survey. This is why the activities are being held concurrently.

The open houses will offer different activities aimed at gathering input from participants. These activities will likely include sticky note and/or sticky dot exercises, as well as facilitated group discussions.

Each open house will be advertised as an opportunity to discuss certain areas/neighborhoods in Minturn. However, if participants are interested in offering input about areas/neighborhoods other than those advertised, they will have the option to do so.
