Section 3-203 Hillside Developing Two Zone District
This section is included in your selections.

3-203.A. Purpose. The purpose of the Hillside Developing Two Zone District (HD 2) is to allow undeveloped hillside land to be used for residential and accessory purposes while preserving and enhancing the outstanding scenic vistas, open spaces, and foot trail corridors which characterize the hillside areas.

Lands in the HD-2 Zone District are characterized by steep slopes, flatter benches, gullies, cliffs, and identified geologic hazards. Recognizing that large amounts of land within the district are platted in small, rectangular lots and cannot be accessed or developed utilizing platted rights of way under current development standards, coordinated planning is generally required to allow integrated development and growth within the district.

Residential units, roads and utilities shall be located with extreme sensitivity to site conditions and to protection of visual and aesthetic resources within and without the district. Clustering of units, reduced visibility of development, minimization of environmental impacts and geohazard risks, construction of affordable housing, and enhancement of open areas and overall development flexibility are encouraged, particularly through the planned unit development (PUD) review process.

All development in the district should be guided, approved and constructed in consideration of the Telluride Master Plan and the 1989 Telluride Hillside Master Plan element thereof, as may be subsequently amended.

3-203.B. Permitted Uses and Uses Permitted on Review. The uses permitted by right and the uses permitted on review in the Hillside Developing Two Zone District are as follows:

c. Impervious site coverage shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the total lot area. For the purposes of this Section, “impervious site coverage” shall mean a surface which does not absorb water, which may include buildings, parking areas, driveways, roads, and any concrete, brick, or asphalt covered areas.

d. Maximum site coverage or impervious site coverage may be increased, if approved pursuant to the PUD process.

3-203.D. Density Requirements.

3-203.D.1. Number of Dwelling Units.

a. The number of dwelling units permitted shall be one (1) unit per ten thousand (10,000) square feet of total land area included in the application.

b. The number of dwelling units permitted under a PUD plan shall be one (1) unit per each ten thousand (10,000) square feet of total land area included in the application, plus any density bonus and any designated employee dwelling unit or affordable housing unit bonus.

c. For purposes of these computations, the term “land area” shall include the following:

(1) all land owned or controlled by the applicant; and

(2) rights of way allowed under subsection D.2 of this Section to be considered in computation of “lot area”.

d. Land included in “land area” for the purposes of this Section need not all be under common ownership or control if the requirements of this Section are met.

3-203.D.2. Determination of Lot Area and Control.

a. Adjacent, contiguous, or diagonally adjoining lots under substantially the same control shall be considered as one (1) lot for the purpose of determining compliance with the minimum lot area, development coordination, and density bonus requirements of this Section.

b. For purposes of this Section, the phrase “substantially the same control” shall mean:

(1) Land owned by the same person or subdivider; or

(2) If the owner or subdivider is a corporation, any land owned by a parent or subsidiary or sister of such corporation or by a person owning more than twenty (20) percent of the voting stock of such corporation, or by a spouse, sister, brother, parent or child of such person; or

(3) If the land is owned by a partnership or joint venture, any land owned or controlled by a partner or venturer, if such partner or venturer owns or controls more than twenty (20) percent of the partnership or joint venture assets; or

(4) If the owner or subdivider is a natural person, land owned by a spouse, sister, brother, parent or child of such person or a trust of which such person is a trustee or beneficiary; or

(5) Any land which is, by reason of any legal or equitable right, whether or not enumerated here, effectively under the same control as the land included in any application for approval of a PUD, subdivision, or a zone district map or text amendment.

c. The existence of any public right of way, or street, or any planned street or right of way shall not, for any purpose of this Section, interrupt adjacency or contiguity, and such streets and rights of way shall be disregarded in determining whether lots are diagonally adjoining, contiguous, or adjacent.

d. Lot area may be calculated to include one half (1/2) of any platted rights of way adjoining such lot or lots, provided that the following conditions are met:

(1) a petition for vacation of such rights of way is approved as part of an application for preliminary subdivision plat;

(2) such rights of way or a portion thereof would revert or be transferred to the owner of such lot(s) upon vacation; and

(3) any additional rights of way to be dedicated to the public which would serve such lot(s) would result in an overall right of way area which is equal to or smaller than contained within the rights of way to be vacated.

e. For the purposes of determining maximum site coverage, impervious site coverage, percentage, and above grade building volume to lot area ratio, lot area shall be calculated by dividing the overall land area included in the application by the total number of lots.

3-203.D.3. Density Bonus.

a. A density bonus of up to forty percent (40%) of allowable dwelling unit density on lots or tracts of land totaling thirty thousand (30,000) square feet or greater is available if approved pursuant to the PUD review process. A density bonus is an increase in the allowable number of density units, provided that any bonus of a fraction of an additional unit shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

b. A density bonus may be granted by P&Z as part of Final PUD Plan approval, if it finds that the Plan includes at least three (3) of the following eight (8) items:

(1) Buildings are clustered or otherwise located or screened to minimize visual impact.

(2) Road length is minimized and roads are located away from identified geologic hazards, excluding rockfall hazards, and away from highly visible areas.

(3) Buildings are located outside of identified geologic hazard areas, except rockfall areas, and within areas identified in the Telluride Hillside Master Plan as suitable for development; provision is made for permanent preservation of public or private open space in excess of any applicable dedication requirement of Section 6-410, “Subdivision Dedication Requirements”.

(4) All required parking is clustered or provided off site in common parking areas.

(5) Parking is substantially covered or screened from view.

(6) One (1) or more designated employee dwelling units or affordable housing units will be provided as an integral part of development plans.

(7) Owners of two (2) or more properties not under substantially the same control present a joint application providing for common development of their properties.

(8) Dwelling units are primarily subterranean (e.g., earth sheltered) units that appear to blend into the hillside.

c. Any bonus dwelling units shall be limited to a maximum above grade volume of twenty five thousand (25,000) cubic feet, and shall not include caretaker units.

3-203.D.4. Employee Density Bonus.

a. In addition to the density bonus and PUD modification authority granted elsewhere in this Section, P&Z may authorize an increase in the allowable density and a decrease in the minimum lot area requirement as part of approval of an application for a PUD plan, if the plan includes a commitment to provide a designated employee dwelling unit or an affordable housing unit on the land area.

b. Such units shall be further limited by the condition that a designated employee dwelling unit or an affordable housing unit shall be contained within a principal dwelling unit, unless allowed through subparagraph c of this Section. The units shall also be limited by a deed restriction which provides for administration, inspection and enforcement by the Town of Telluride or its designee, including the Telluride Housing Authority.

c. Maximum allowable above grade building volume may be increased by five thousand (5,000) cubic feet for each designated employee dwelling unit or affordable housing unit provided as part of a PUD plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Title, the designated employee dwelling units or affordable housing units may be located in a structure other than one in which the additional building volume is allowed, provided that such designated employee dwelling units or affordable housing units are:

(1) incorporated into a single structure with a volume of not more than thirty five thousand (35,000) cubic feet;

(2) not less than five thousand (5,000) cubic feet in volume; and

(3) such structure containing designated employee dwelling units or affordable housing units shall be counted as a dwelling unit for density calculation purposes.

3-203.E. Additional Development Requirements. The following additional requirements shall apply to all development in the Hillside Developing Two Zone District.

3-203.E.1. Roads.

a. The location of all proposed new public or private roads or rights of way shall be reviewed by P&Z. If P&Z finds that such roads or rights of way are generally consistent with the Telluride Hillside Master Plan, it may approve such location and dedication as part of the subdivision review process. If P&Z finds that the location of such roads or rights of way are not generally consistent with the Telluride Hillside Master Plan, P&Z shall refer the proposal to the Town Council, together with a recommendation thereon.

b. The Town Council shall review the location of proposed new public or private roads or rights of way upon referral by P&Z. After consideration of P&Z’s recommendation, and the purposes of this Section and the Telluride Hillside Master Plan, the Council may approve such location if it finds such roads or rights of way can be constructed or dedicated in compliance with the design criteria and construction specifications set forth below.

c. The Town Council shall have final review and approval authority over any proposed vacation of an existing public right of way in the HD-2 Zone District. Such review shall be conducted in accordance with Article 6, Division 4, “Subdivision”. No right of way in areas generally designated in the Telluride Hillside Master Plan as a road corridor shall be vacated unless the Council finds compelling justification for such vacation.

d. Improvements to existing roads or rights of way may be required by P&Z as a condition of issuance of an access permit.

e. Improvements to Tomboy Road may be required as a condition of any development approval of property within the District and served by Tomboy Road in proportion to impacts to the public use of, and benefits to property served by, Tomboy Road. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tomboy Road shall be preserved in its present condition and minimum width of fourteen feet (14'), with additional turnouts as may be required, to the extent consistent with public health and safety. In no event shall Tomboy Road be widened beyond twenty four feet (24') in pavement width.

f. Access permits required pursuant to Section 3-303 of this Title, Access Requirements, shall be obtained prior to issuance of any building permit for construction in the HD-2 Zone District. Final approval of any PUD plan within this District issued after August 15, 1989 shall be deemed to be approval and issuance of an access permit, for purposes of Section 3-303, as to the lots included within the plan.

g. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6-408 of this Title, Subdivision Design Criteria, and the provisions of the Town of Telluride Right-of-Way Specifications, as amended, the following road design criteria and construction specifications are hereby established for the HD-2 Zone District:

(1) Street Right of Way Width. Fifty feet (50'), or wide enough to include one foot (1') beyond the extent of any necessary cut and fill slope, whichever is less.

(2) Street Pavement Width. Twenty four feet (24'), excluding curb and gutter, provided that such width may be reduced to a minimum of eighteen feet (18') pursuant to subsection E.1.h, below.

(3) Cul de sac right of way width. Sixty five feet (65'), or wide enough to include one foot (1') beyond the extent of any necessary cut and fill slope, whichever is less.

(4) Cul de sac bulb pavement radius. Fifty feet (50'), excluding curb and gutter, provided that such diameter may be reduced, or any other appropriate turnaround configuration and dimensions may be established, if approved pursuant to subsection E.1.h, below, and after review by the Telluride Fire Protection District.

(5) Cul de sac maximum length. Four hundred (400) feet, provided that such length may be increased to a maximum of eight hundred (800) feet, if approved pursuant to subsection E.1.h, below, and after review by the Telluride Fire Protection District. For purposes of defining cul de sac length deriving from Tomboy Road, length shall be measured from the intersection of the new cul de sac with Tomboy Road. For purposes of defining cul de sac length from Pandora Avenue and Columbine Street, length shall be measured from the intersection of Pandora Avenue and Columbine Street.

h. The Town Council may authorize a reduction or modification of these criteria and specifications, after review by P&Z, the Town Engineer, and the Telluride Fire Protection District, if the Council finds, after consideration of anticipated vehicular traffic, emergency access, and maintenance requirements, that:

(1) public health and safety will not be unnecessarily jeopardized by such reduction or modification; and

(2) public health, safety, and property will be protected through plans or design for snow storage, plowing, geohazard mitigation, and any other necessary measures, including, by way of example, agreements for private maintenance of roads and private acquisition of necessary maintenance equipment.

3-203.E.2. Geohazards.

a. No construction or development shall be permitted in any identified geologic hazard area within the HD-2 Zone District, except as approved in accordance with the requirements of this section. These requirements are intended to provide a basis at the plan approval stage to evaluate the safety and suitability of the location of proposed land uses, roads and road improvements, and buildings. These requirements are in addition to the pre construction geohazard permit application provisions of Article 8, Division 5, Geologic Hazard Control.

b. Construction or development in an identified geologic hazard area may be conceptually approved by P&Z as part of an application for preliminary subdivision plat or preliminary PUD plan approval, or may be finally approved upon referral to P&Z as part of an application for issuance of an access, geohazard, or building permit (unless previously approved), if P&Z finds:

(1) geologic hazards have been adequately identified;

(2) identified geologic hazards are avoided, or will be mitigated so as to protect the safety of persons and property; and

(3) environmental disruption is minimized.

3-203.E.c. Any request for final approval of construction or development within the HD-2 Zone District shall be accompanied by a report from a registered geotechnical engineer or other qualified professional, which includes:

1. a geological survey map of the site at same scale as the site plan; and

2. identification of any geologic hazard areas as defined in Article 8, Division 5, “Geologic Hazard Control”, on or affecting the site or any proposed new roads or road improvements or utility corridors necessary to access or serve such site; and

3. proposed measures necessary to avoid or safely mitigate any identified geologic hazards.

Such report may be required by P&Z, at its option, as part of its review pursuant to paragraph B, above.

3-203.E.3. Construction Impact Plans.

a. A construction impact mitigation plan for proposed construction of roads, utilities, buildings and parking areas shall be submitted, unless previously approved, as part of any application for approval of any final PUD plan, final subdivision plat, development agreement, or for issuance of an access permit, geohazard permit, or building permit, in the HD-2 Zone District. Such plan shall be reviewed and approved, with or without conditions, by P&Z, or upon referral from the appropriate permit authority if necessary, in accordance with the intent of this Zone District and for the purpose of protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.

b. The approved plan shall, at a minimum, include provisions for:

(1) erosion and dust control;

(2) parking and materials storage;

(3) restoration, revegetation, and additional natural landscaping of disturbed areas, including private drives, gabions, and public rights of way, including a guarantee of completion within one year after issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or after substantial completion of the project;

(4) adequate safeguards against the hazard of dislodging rocks or soil during any roadbed grading, excavation, or building operation, as recommended by a registered geotechnical engineer or other qualified professional;

(5) any other information or commitment as may be reasonably required by P&Z or the permit authority.

3-203.E.4. Design Flexibility.

a. Flexibility in design of roads, structures, and development patterns is encouraged as a matter of policy in the HD-2 Zone District.

b. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the following land use regulations and restrictions may not be altered, modified or waived by the Town Council, P&Z, or H.A.R.C.:

(1) Uses permitted or uses permitted on review;

(2) Maximum building height;

(3) Minimum number of off street parking spaces;

(4) Access permit requirements;

(5) Landscaping plans; lighting plans; construction impact plans; and

(6) Fence area limitations.

3-203.E.5. Landscaping And Lighting Plans.

a. Any application for preliminary or final PUD or subdivision approval for property located within the HD-2 Zone District shall include a landscaping plan and a lighting restriction plan. Such plans shall be reviewed by P&Z, and may be approved with or without conditions, if found consistent with the Telluride Master Plan and the purposes of the HD-2 Zone District.

b. Any application for approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for a single lot or lots not requiring subdivision or PUD approval shall include a landscaping and lighting restriction plan. Such plans shall be reviewed by H.A.R.C. and may be approved with or without conditions, if found to be consistent with the Telluride Master Plan, the purposes of the HD-2 Zone District, and applicable treatment area guidelines.

3-203.E.6. Fences. Privacy fencing for gardens, decks and patios shall be located within twenty feet (20') of the closest principal building. Perimeter fencing of a lot or lots is prohibited.

3-203.E.7. Consistency Required.

a. No subdivision plat or PUD plan for property located within the HD-2 Zone District shall be approved unless P&Z finds that:

(1) The plat or plan is substantially consistent with the Telluride Master Plan and the Telluride Hillside Master Plan element thereof, both as amended; or

(2) There has been a change of circumstances in the Hillside Master Plan study area, including the presentation of new geologic hazard or other information relating to the suitable and unsuitable designations contained in the Telluride Hillside Master Plan, occurring since the last amendment to the Telluride Master Plan and the Telluride Hillside Master Plan element thereof, which justifies approval of such plat or plan; or

(3) There is substantial cause to amend the Telluride Hillside Master Plan by altering the designation of an area as suitable or unsuitable for development based on site specific analysis; or

(4) There exists a compelling public interest which justifies an amendment of such Plans.

b. If a development plan review requires a Master Plan amendment, such review can, upon request of the applicant, occur concurrently with consideration of a Master Plan amendment.

3-203.E.8. Development Coordination.

a. Any application for preliminary approval of a subdivision plat or a PUD plan for property located in the HD-2 Zone District shall include a non binding plan for development of all property within the HD-2 Zone District which is contiguous, adjacent, diagonally adjoining, or located within the same block, and which is owned by the applicant or under substantially the same control as the applicant’s property.

b. The plan shall generally designate proposed roads and utilities which will serve such property to be developed and which will accommodate land uses anticipated on the contiguous, adjacent, or diagonally adjoining property or property within the same block. The purpose of such plan is to facilitate the design of common access and utility service, to provide for coordination with proposed building locations, to address consistency with the Telluride Hillside Master Plan, and to provide a basis for agreements between property owners for joint utility and road development.

c. This requirement may be waived upon request of the applicant if P&Z finds that preparation of such a plan is not feasible or is not necessary to provide for coordination of access and utility installation within the HD-2 Zone District.

3-203.E.9. Phasing.

a. P&Z may grant final approval of such plan or plat in phases.

b. Preliminary approval of any phase of such plan or plat shall continue in effect for up to seven (7) years, unless otherwise provided at the time of preliminary approval. A preliminary plan or plat shall not be valid for longer than seven (7) years.

3-203.E.10. Substandard Lots.

a. In the event that the application of the HD-2 Zone District to a lot which is not under substantially the same control of an owner of any other lot within the HD-2 Zone District as of September 6, 1988 or any time thereafter, results in non compliance with the minimum lot area requirements of this Section, then such lot shall be deemed to be substandard for purposes of this Section.

b. A dwelling unit may be permitted to be constructed on a substandard lot in the HD-2 Zone District only if a majority of P&Z finds by clear and convincing evidence that at least two (2) of the following criteria have been met:

(1) the applicant has sought in good faith to enter into a joint development plan or application with owners of adjacent, contiguous, and diagonally adjoining lots, if such lots are designated as suitable for development; or

(2) if the applicant’s property is designated as unsuitable for development, the applicant has proposed the dedication or restriction of the applicant’s property for use as open space as part of a proposal to increase allowable density on other owners’ property by transfer of density (equivalent to a single family dwelling unit with volume based on ratio to original lot size) permitted upon the applicant’s property; or

(3) no other reasonable economic use of the property exists; or

(4) any other reasonable possibilities for separate or joint development of the property have been exhausted.

c. Notwithstanding any permission to construct a dwelling unit on a substandard lot which may be authorized by this Section, no modification to or variance from any other requirements of this Section shall be authorized by permitting construction on a substandard lot, except for lot frontage and lot width requirements. Any proposed development or construction on a substandard lot shall comply with all other restrictions on use, ground coverage, setbacks, building height and volume, parking, fencing, landscaping, lighting, construction impact mitigation, consistency, development coordination, access permit, and all other applicable requirements of this Section and this Title.

d. No replat or subdivision of substandard lots within this District shall be permitted if the new lots would not comply with all requirements of this Section, unless modified through PUD.
