Larimer County Land Use Hearing 7/13/26 3:00 p.m.

The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners held a Land Use Hearing on July 13, 2026, addressing several land use and ordinance matters. The meeting included approval of a consent agenda with four routine items, including an extension of a data center moratorium and easement vacations. A significant discussion focused on the first reading of an updated rubbish ordinance, prompted by new state legislation (House Bill 26-1239), which expanded county enforcement authority regarding rubbish removal, including adjacent public rights of way, increased administrative cost recovery, and introduced civil penalties and injunctive relief options. The board also reviewed and approved an amended plat, boundary line adjustment, and right-of-way vacation application (File 26LAND4538) related to the ACOT subdivision, with conditions of approval recommended by staff. Public comments were limited, with one individual expressing concerns about property rights and ordinance impacts. The board voted unanimously to approve both the consent agenda and the ACOT plat amendment and right-of-way vacation.
