For the Plan to remain relevant over time, the County Planning Commission must be able to be review, revise, and update the Plan on an as needed basis to respond to significant trends or changes in the economic, physical, or social conditions of the community. Revisions to the comprehensive plan will be conducted according to two different procedures: (1) Plan Update; and (2) Plan Amendments. AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Plan Update The purpose of a Plan Update is to re-evaluate the foundations, and directions of the Plan, and to set new directions if necessary, to make sure that the Plan continues to be an effective guide for growth and change in Garfield County. It is intended that a review of the Plan be conducted every 5 years (unless otherwise directed by the Planning Commission) to determine whether an update is warranted. In making a determination of when an update should be initiated, a prime consideration should be the magnitude of the changes that have occurred since the Plan was last updated. For instance, significant changes in the economy, the environment, housing affordability, traffic congestion, or GARFIELD COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030 67 TABLE O,CON NTS PREFACE CHAPTER 1: CHARIER 2: CHAPTER 3: CHAPTER 4: GLOSSARY ' INTRODUCTION FUTURE LAND USE PLAN ELEMENTS projected growth may require a plan update or an update to a specific plan element.

GARFIELD COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030 71 IC GarfieldCounty March 30, 2015 Planning Commission 108 8th Street Glenwood Springs, CO 80651 RE: Comprehensive Plan of 2030 — Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment Dear Planning Commissioners: The Garfield County Community Development Department Director submits this application requesting amendments to the Comprehensive Plan of 2030 FLUM. This amendment proposes to correct errors in the FLUM identified around the City of Glenwood Springs and an eastern portion of the City of Rifle. Please find attached the Standards of Approval for the Amendment and narrative addressing each standard. Sincerely, David Pesnichak, AICP Senior Planner Standards for Approval "A Plan Amendment shall demonstrate that the proposed text or designation addresses errors in the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) or Comprehensive Plan..." Response: The proposed changes to the FLUM are to correct errors identified in the adopted FLUM updated by the Planning Commission under Resolution PC -2013-06 on October 9, 2013. The identified errors relate to incorrectly identified Growth Areas around the City of Glenwood Springs and an eastern portion of the City of Rifle. The areas in error are either identified on the adopted Garfield County FLUM as being within a Growth Area, but are not identified within the Growth Area for the municipality, or are not identified on the adopted Garfield Count FLUM, but are within the Growth Area for the municipality, The proposed amendment would correct the designation of these Growth Areas on the FLUM to correspond with the identified growth areas for each municipality. Below are the sections of the adopted Garfield County Comprehensive Plan of 2030 that discusses Urban Growth Areas. As a part of this application process, County Staff contacted all municipalities for a review of the County identified Urban Growth Area and its relationship to each municipality's identified growth and annexation areas. The identified errors resulted from this pre -consultation with each municipality. Chapter 2: Future Land Use Growth in Urban Growth Areas The Plan recognizes the need for existing municipalities to be able to gradually expand into immediately surrounding areas. The county supports and encourages orderly expansion of existing communities. This Plan recognizes existing municipal plans and strongly supports and encourages infill and redevelopment of existing communities. These growth areas are the preferred locations in Garfield County for growth that require urban level services. They are also the preferred locations for commercial and employment uses that can take advantage of supporting infrastructure and a close by client base that reduces travel demands. The most effective way to encourage growth in designated and planned UGAs will be by ensuring the following: i. Each municipality's plan for its UGA is incorporated into the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan. ii. Urban developments in the UGAs are encouraged to annex into the respective municipality. Figure 16- The comprehensive plan encourages growth to occur in the Urban Growth Areas (shaded gray above) of existing municipalities ili. If there is a public benefit to allowing development within a UGA prior to annexation, the County and municipality will cooperatively endeavor to facilitate such development through such means as: County zoning in the UGAs adjusted to a close approximation of the municipality's plans. Development in the UGA is required to obtain a local review with comment (not approval) before submitting for county review. A procedure for municipal/county review and recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners will be developed in an IGA with each community. Each community is expected to extend services and infrastructure to development in the UGA that substantially complies with their plan for the UGA (landowners and the respective municipality are strongly encouraged to enter into pre -annexation agreements that provide commitments with respect to extensions of services and infrastructure, densities, etc.).

We defined the Growth Area by the "Tier 1" and Tier 2" areas in our Comp Plan. Tier 2 is the teal color in the map below. In our comp plan, the area around Cottonwood Mobile Home Park seems to include less than what your map shows. Not a huge deal though. Thanks for checking. Happy New Years! 1 STATE OF COLORADO ) ss.
