Letter to County Supporting the Proposed Amendment to the County Land Use Resolution

Local Moose in Wetland Habitat

On Tuesday, September 7, Gunnison County Commissioners will hear public comment on a proposed amendment to the county land use resolution (LUR). This amendment, recommended by the Gunnison County Planning Commission, would decrease the maximum use-by-right square footage of new residential construction. HCCA supports this amendment to the LUR because of the increased consideration - and subsequent avoidance, minimization, and mitigation - of impacts to wildlife and habitat during the permitting process that this amendment would foster.
