An important element of successful implementation is learning from other communities that have already tested specific tools and strategies. This portion of the website offers model policy and regulation for several planning tools. Each model includes key elements of the policies or regulations, drawing on various best practices around Colorado and beyond. The examples offer commentary alongside the model language to provide further context for the reader. At the end of each model, there are references to the communities used to help inform the preparation of the model language. Click on an individual tool below to view and/or download model language.
