At its meeting the Montezuma County Planning and Zoning Commission forwarded two recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners.
Item 1: 9‑acre single‑lot rezoning at 12401 Road 38 — Motion to recommend approval passed 4–0. Conditions included completion of a wildfire mitigation plan and ensuring a recorded easement for lot access. Staff reported available utility service from Montezuma Water Company and recommended the mitigation plan because the parcel is categorized as moderate wildfire risk.
Item 2: Ruby Rose LLC high‑impact permit and special‑use permit at 37951 Highway 184 — Motion to recommend approval passed 4–0. Commissioners listed conditions including completion of a wildfire mitigation plan, submission of a business plan, and verification of water/septic documentation prior to Board consideration. Planning staff cited CDOT access permit No. 505109 and a well permit No. 65642 in their findings.
Both recommendations will be considered by the Board of County Commissioners; applicants were asked to provide outstanding documentation and to follow up with neighbors on road and safety issues.
