AVON, Colorado — The first draft of the town's revised land use code is nearly complete and the zoning advisory committee will resume its review of the document beginning Feb. 17. The meeting is set for 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Avon's town hall. The discussion will cover development and design standards, the development bonus process and the plan unit development regulations.

The code will replace the town's 25-year old zoning ordinance. The revision will address community needs, simplify the land use process and provide for clear and predictable outcomes consistent with Avon's comprehensive plan.

“The revised land use code will make Avon a better place to live and do business, preserving what is best about Avon while allowing the town to change with the times,” said Sally Vecchio, assistant town manager, community development.

Community involvement is important to the success of this process. To learn more about the process and the new code provisions, visit the town's Web site at www.avon.org/landusecode. The site includes information and materials on the project, meeting summaries and upcoming public meeting dates. For more information, call the community development department at 970-748-4030.
