Lot Size: 160 acres Proposed Zoning: Agricultural Background: The subject lot is surrounded by Bureau of Land Management property and filings of South Park Ranches that were platted between December 1971 and May 1972. It was zoned Agricultural when Park County first adopted zoning in 1975 and rezoned to Residential at some time between 1975 and 1998.

Land Use Regulations and Strategic Master Plan: Each of the standards for approval of a Zoning Map Amendment (LUR Section 5-202) is addressed below. PC Staff Report 20ZON-01 (Rautenkranz) Page 1 of 3 March 10, 2020 Hearing A. In considering any petition for amendment of the Official Zoning Map, the following standard shall govern.

It does not contain any mapped geologic hazards or other environmental constraints. 2. The property has a reasonably certain right of permanent legal access permitting vehicular ingress and egress from the property to the public thoroughfare; and The property has frontage along several public rights-of-way. 3. Access to the property from the public thoroughfare reasonably meets County street, road, or driveway standards or, if the property is undeveloped, such access will be established prior to issuance of a building permit; and Built access to the lot will have to meet County driveway standards. 4.

  • Pikes Peak Massif
    Wild Connections Conservation Plan for the Pike & San Isabel National Forests Chapter 5 – Complexes: Area-Specific Management Recommendations This section contains our detailed, area-specific proposal utilizing the theme based approach to land management. As an organizational tool, this proposal divides the Pike-San Isabel National Forest into eleven separate Complexes, based on geo-physical characteristics of the land such as mountain ranges, parklands, or canyon systems. Each complex narrative provides details and justifications for our management recommendations for specific areas. In order to emphasize the larger landscape and connectivity of these lands with the ecoregion, commentary on relationships to adjacent non-Forest lands are also included. Evaluations of ecological value across public and private lands are used throughout this chapter. The Colorado Natural Heritage Programs rates the biodiversity of Potential Conservation Areas (PCAs) as General Biodiversity, Moderate, High, Very High, and Outranking Significance. The Nature Conservancy assesses the conservation value of its Conservation Blueprint areas as Low, Moderately Low, Moderate, Moderately High and High. The Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project's Wildlands Network Vision recommends land use designations of Core Wilderness, Core Agency, Low and Moderate Compatible Use, and Wildlife Linkages. Detailed explanations are available from the respective organizations. Complexes – Summary List by Watershed Table 5.1: Summary of WCCP Complexes Watershed Complex Ranger District

Embracing large, diverse, and complex geologic features, the park is in an area that is critical to the interpretation of many significant regional geologic problems. In order to provide basic data bearing on these problems, the U.S. Geological Survey in 1965 initiated a broad pro­ gram of comprehensive geologic and geophysical investigations within the park. This program was carried out with the cooperation of the National Park Service, and was also aided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which supported the gathering of geologic information needed in testing and in interpreting results from various remote sensing devices. This professional paper chapter is one of a series of technical geo­ logic reports resulting from these investigations.

Rumors of marine reptiles, trilobite mass death assemblages, and even dinosaurs in Yellowstone have lured a team of paleontologists in the same way that the legends of "Colter's Hell" and Jim Bridger's "Tall Tales" have attracted many before. Compared to other natural resources at Yellowstone National Park, fossils have received little attention. Except for the research conducted on the petrified forests, Yellowstone's fossils have remained a relative "paleo-incognita" more than 125 years after the park's establishment. As this survey demonstrates, the lack of paleontological research is not due to a lack of significant fossils. Perhaps historian Aubrey Haines provided the best explanation in his comment, "Past administrations preferred that resources not in the public's eye be left alone" (pers.
