RESOLUTION N0,9
Series of 1985
A RESOLUTION STRONGLY OPPOSING HOUSE BILL
1360 CONCERNING THE CREATION OF VESTED RIGHTS.
WHEREAS, House Bill 1360 would effectively preclude municipalities and
counties from altering any land use regulation applicable to a property once
that property has been zoned and one of a list of vesting actions has been taken
by the owner; and
WHEREAS, House Bill 1360 would make it very difficult for municipalities
and counties to react to changing conditions and amend land use regulations; and
WHEREAS, House Bi]1 1360 also contains provisions which would preclude muni-
cipal or county changes in land use regulations for five years after the initial
zoning or rezoning was established with several options for the developer to
extend that time period; and
WHEREAS, the definition of vesting actions in House Bill 1360 is so broad
as to allow and encourage property owners to take any of those actions, effect-
ively precluding any future changes in land use or site design;
HOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL,
COLORADO, THAT:
The Town Council hereby strongly opposes the passage of House Sill 1360
and directs the Town Manager and the•Town Attorney to mail copies of this Reso-
lution to the Town of Vail's representatives and to take whatever action may be
necessary and proper to effectively communicate the Town's strong opposition to
House Bill 1360.
INTRODUCED, READ, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED, THIS 19th day of March, 1985.
