Planning Commission Role

The Gilpin County Planning Commission is a nine-member board appointed by the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) for the purpose of planning and plan review. They are advisory to the BoCC on all matters concerning land use and land subdivision. The Planning Commission is charged with the formulation and revision of comprehensive master plans, zoning regulations, subdivision regulations and special use permit conditions. They also conduct site-specific plan reviews associated with all of the above. The Planning Commission typically makes a recommendation on a land use case which is then sent to the Board of County Commissioners for a final decision.
