La Plata County is amending its Land Use Code to align with new state laws regarding family occupancy and tribal consultation.

• • HB24-1007: The County can no longer limit the number of people living together in a single dwelling based on familial relationships, requiring updates to related code language.
  • SB24-212: The County must consult with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and the Southern Ute Indian Tribe before approving commercial wind, solar, and energy storage facilities in the Brunot Area.
  • SB24-193: Municipalities cannot annex land within a federally recognized tribe’s reservation without tribal approval.
