Title: Archuleta County, CO -- Ordinance for Subdivision Design Standards
Type: Regulatory
Designation of high risk areas
Jurisdiction: County
State: Colorado
Program Description: Archuleta County requires that developers mitigate wildfire hazards before receiving final plat approval from the County Planning Office. Archuleta County is creating a database of wildfire hazard areas shown on maps, using GIS software.

The site development standard may be viewed in its entirety at the following web site for Archuleta County.

Below are the relevant excerpts that relate to vegetation management for the reduction of risk from wildfire:

4.1 Purpose and Intent:

Each new subdivision platted in Archuleta County will, to some degree, influence the character, environment, cost of services and maintenance, and other factors pertaining to the land subdivided and the surrounding areas. Each lot should provide a desirable setting for construction so that natural features of the land may be preserved, views protected, privacy permitted, and undesirable conditions minimized. Provision for flood channels, open spaces, parks, schools, transportation, fire and police protection, and similar community facilities may be required depending on the location and density of each development. The following design standards will guide the subdivider and provide a basis for determining adequacy and acceptability of proposed subdivisions.

Site Development Standards for Conditional Use/Limited Impact Use Permits

    (b) All projects shall have adequate roads for emergency service by fire trucks, fire fighting personnel and firebreaks or other means of mitigating conditions conducive to fire.

    (c) Precautions required to reduce or eliminate wildfire hazards shall be provided for at the time of initial development.

    (d) The subdivision will adhere to the Guidelines and Criteria for Wildfire Hazard Areas promulgated by the Colorado State Forest Service.

    (e) Consideration shall be given to the recommendations of the Colorado State Forest Service resulting from review of a proposed subdivision in a wildfire hazard area.

  1. Maps or overlays portraying the existing wildfire conditions of the area with particular attention given to the effects of slope, topographic and vegetative (living and dead) conditions. Such maps shall be on a scale sufficiently detailed to meet the objectives of these regulations.


  2. The procedures proposed to reduce or control conditions of wildfire hazard.
