Organization
The Design Guidelines and Standards for Building in Telluride is organized into four sections:
1. Summary of Telluride’s Building History: This provides a basis for many of the Design Guidelines and Standards that follow and should be read by all users. A description of basic building types found historically in the community is included.
2. Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings: These apply to proposals with structures that are rated as either Contributing or Supporting by the Town’s 2013 THAS. These Design Guidelines and Standards provide review criteria and direction for proposals to add to or alter structures with historic integrity.
Submission Requirements: These vary depending upon the type of request, but generally these requirements include:
1Drawings and/or photos of the site and site features;
2Site plan with proposed site improvements;
3A street profile or elevation showing the development in context of the block;
4Elevation drawings;
5Floor plans; and
6An impact statement.
3. Standards for the Individual Treatment Areas: These Design Guidelines and Standards identify the distinct architectural, natural or topographic characteristics of a specific neighborhood.
4. Special Design Guidelines and Standards: These Design Guidelines and Standards include the River Park Corridor Overlay, Alleys & Secondary Structures, Lighting and Signs.
Note: All of the elements of the Design Guidelines and Standards, along with the introductory and informational sections, constitute the criteria upon which HARC will make its determination of the appropriateness of a project.
