I. Residential -Urban (RU). The Residential -Urban Zone District is comprised of high-density urban residential uses, including multi-family developments. J . Resource Lands. The Resource
Lands Zone District shall be subclassified into the following zones: 1. Gentle Slopes and Lower Valley Floor (RLGS). The subdistrict identified as Gentle Slopes and Lower Valley Floor
is defined as the colluvial and alluvial soil at the base of Talus Slopes in the Lower Valley Floor. 2. Talus Slopes (RL TS). The subdistrict identified as Talus Slopes is defined as
loose deposits of rock debris accumulated at the base of Talus Slopes in the Lower Valley Floor. 3. Escarpment (RLE). The subdistrict identified as Escarpment is defined as the fixed
bedrock forming vertical or near vertical parts of the canyon walls. 4. Plateau (RLP). The subdistrict identified as Plateau is defined as the rOiling lands of the higher elevation in

regulations are in addition to those of the underlying zone district, unless otherwise provided in this Code. Use restrictions and standards for the individual Overlay Zone Districts
are set forth under Division 3 of this Article, Overlay Zone District Regulations. The following Overlay Zone Districts are established: A. Floodplain Overlay. 1. Purpose. The purpose
of the Floodplain Overlay is: a. To minimize and prevent adverse effects of proposed development on the flood-carrying capacity within the 100-year Floodplain; GARFIELD COUNTY LAND USE
AND DEVELOPMENT CODE 3-2
b. To minimize flood losses by restricting or prohibiting uses that are dangerous to public health, safety, and property in times of flooding; and c. To regulate development that would
alter or increase the potential damage or impacts of a major storm or exacerbate the Floodplain impacts on other tracts of land. 2. Boundaries and Jurisdiction. Reports and maps establishing
the Floodplain Overlay District and Floodplain subdistricts are incorporated herein, pursuant to section 1-109, Incorporation and Interpretation of Maps. The Overlay District shall be
comprised of all lands within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), as follows: a. Lands Within Designated 100-Year Floodplain. This includes lands identified as within the designated
100-year Floodplain as mapped on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), or identified in the "Flood Insurance Study, Garfield County, Colorado, Unincorporated Areas" dated August 2, 2006,
and the accompanying flood maps tilled "Flood Boundary Maps, Floodway Maps and Flood Insurance Rate Maps, Garfield County, Colorado, Unincorporated Areas," as the same may be amended
from time to time; or b. Lands Not Within a FIRM-Identified 100-Year Floodplain. When an application for a Land Use Change Permit, including divisions of land, indicates or suggests
that an area of the site may be in a SFHA, but for which area no FIRM maps have been previously prepared, the Applicant shall provide Floodplain studies, including appropriate maps,
conducted and certified by a qualified professional engineer experienced in hydrology and hydraulics. These studies shall, at a minimum, determine the type of SFHA the property is within,
including the depth and elevation of the Base Flood for the entire area of the site and for 200 yards upstream and downstream from the site, with an appropriate cross section. c. Areas
Removed From the 100-Year Floodplain. Those areas removed from the Floodplain by the issuance of a FEMA Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F). B. Drinking Water Constraints Overlay.
1. Purpose. The purpose of the Drinking Water Constraints Overlay is to ensure a safe domestic water supply for all land use within the Overlay District which includes human consumption
of ground water. 2. Boundaries and Jurisdiction. Reports and maps establishing the Drinking Water Constraints Overlay District are incorporated herein, pursuant to section 1-109, Incorporation
and Interpretation of Maps. C. Airport/Heliport Influence Area Overlay. 1. Purpose. The purpose of an Airport/Heliport Influence Area Overlay is: a. To support and encourage the continued
operation and vitality of the County Airport and Heliport; GARFIELD COUNTY LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT CODE 3-3
b. To reduce potential safety hazards for persons living, working, or recreating near the County Airport and Heliport by establishing compatibility and safety standards to promote air
navigational safety; and c. To minimize environmental impacts resulting from the operation of the County Airport and Heliport. 2. Boundaries and Jurisdiction. Plans and maps establishing

Influence Area Overlay District's boundaries shall be the outer extremities of the boundaries of the Imaginary Surfaces. b. Noise Impact Boundary. The Noise Impact Boundary incorporates
areas within 1,500 feet of an Airport Runway or within established noise contour boundaries exceeding 55 Ldn as depicted in the Airport/Heliport's Layout Plan. If the Noise Impact Boundary
extends beyond the extremities of the Imaginary Surfaces, the Airport/Heliport Influence Area Overlay District boundaries shall be extended to incorporate the Noise Impact Boundary.
c. Partial Inclusion. If a structure, lot, or parcel of land lies partly within the Airport/Heliport Influence Area Overlay, the part of the structure, lot, or parcel lying within the
Overlay District shall meet all requirements for the Airport/Heliport Influence Area Overlay. d. Notice of Land Use and Permit Applications. The Director shall provide to the Airport
Sponsor and to the BOCC written notice of any proposed land use located within the Airport/Heliport Influence Area Overlay, unless the proposed land use meets all of the following criteria:
