Role and Responsibility of County Boards

In The Land Development Review Process

Following is information regarding the role and responsibility of the various County boards and commissions involved in the review and approval of applications for new land development in unincorporated Larimer County.

The County Land Use Code contains 'review criteria' for each of the various types of land use applications. Per the Land Use Code, the Board of County Commissioners and any advisory board must use only those listed review criteria as reasons to approve or deny a given application. There are some review criteria that call for judgement; for example, when the review criteria is 'compatibility'. In these cases, a majority vote of the reviewing body rules.

Board of County Commissioners

The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) is the elected body charged with the responsibility and authority to make local land use decisions, including the adoption of a land use code and the approval or denial of land development proposals. Their decisions are final, except for court appeals.

County Planning Commission

The Planning Commission is a nine-member citizen board that advises the Board of County Commissioners on various land development applications. The Planning Commission is appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. Per the County Land Use Code, applications for rezoning, special review, Subdivision, Conservation Development and Planned Development must receive a recommendation from the Planning Commission prior to review and decision by the Board of County Commissioners. Adoption of the County Master Plan is the role of the Planning Commission.

Laporte Area Planning Advisory Committee (LAPAC)

LAPAC members are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. Its purpose is to provide an organized forum, open for public participation, and to help preserve and enhance the identity and quality of the LaPorte community. LAPAC reviews and provides comments to the County Planning Commission on land development applications for the LaPorte area.
