Land Use

Community Development's Land Use division administers the land use regulations. San Juan County Code contains the standards and permit requirements for the use of property in the County.
Most land use regulations are in Title 18 (Unified Development Code, UDC), with some in Title 16, Land Use and Development.
  

Responsibilities


The professional planners in the Land Use division process land use applications, provide staff support to the County Council, Planning Commission, Hearing Examiner, and facilitate committees working on amendments or new regulations.
