The Chaffee County Board of County Commissioners is initiating a review of the Chaffee County Land Use Code and Zoning Map that went into effect January 1, 2025. The Commissioners are soliciting comments for the “glitch bill” amendment process, an update designed to fix any errors, discrepancies, or technical issues with the new Land Use Code and Zoning Map, if deemed necessary. 

The Commissioners have directed the Chaffee County Planning & Zoning Department to lead the glitch bill amendment process, subject to the approved schedule below. Comments from applicants or representatives that have experience submitting, receiving feedback on, and working through the development application process under the County’s new Land Use Code will be particularly helpful and informative.

The schedule for the glitch bill amendment process is:

  • June 18, 2025 – County will begin receiving and reviewing public comments for proposed amendment(s) to the Chaffee County Land Use Code and Zoning Map;
  • Week of July 21, 2025 – County Planning Department will publish draft of glitch bill amendment(s) for public review; 
  • August 5, 2025 – Board of County Commissioners and Planning Commission Work Sessions on proposed glitch bill amendment(s); 
  • September 2, 2025 – Planning Commission Public Hearing on glitch bill amendment(s);
  • September 9, 2025 – Board of County Commissioners Public Hearing on glitch bill amendment(s). Any amendment(s) adopted will take effect thirty days after adoption unless otherwise directed.

The County will host all official glitch bill amendment-related documents and maps on its website, www.ChaffeeCounty.org, under the Planning Department’s Land Use Code webpage and within the public hearing packets, which will be published at https://chaffeecoco.portal.civicclerk.com/. 

The County will accept comments throughout the process, subject to its adopted Public Meeting Policies and Procedures. 

Public comments and any questions should be directed to the Chaffee County Planning & Zoning Department via email at  or via phone at (719) 530-5630.
