Master Plan

The Gilpin County Planning Commission is a nine-member board appointed by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) for the purpose of planning and plan review. They are advisory to the BOCC on all matters concerning land use and land subdivision. The Planning Commission is charged with the formulation and revision of comprehensive master plans, zoning regulations, subdivision regulations and special use permit conditions. They also conduct site-specific plan reviews associated with all of the above.

Typically, Planning Commission review is done in three phases. Review often begins with a conceptual discussion of a proposal relative to its consistency with Gilpin County Master Plan goals and objectives. If found to be consistent with Master Plan goals and objectives, a more detailed review for consistency with County policy and regulation will follow. The final review phase includes a public hearing where any interested party may comment for the record.

Public hearings are officially noticed in the Gilpin County News. Property owners adjacent to the proposed subject site are notified by certified mail. All Planning Commission meetings are open to the public.
