The City of Steamboat Springs and Routt County jointly adopted the Steamboat Springs Area Community Plan in 1995, which is currently undergoing the process of a five-year update.
The City of Steamboat Springs and Routt County established an oversight group composed of City and County staff and other interest parties to help advise their respective elected bodies on planning issues that affect both the City and the County. This advisory group, the Area Plan Coordinating Committee or APCC, will be charged with designing the process and overseeing the plan update.
The Community Plan represents the long-term vision for the community addressing physical development, growth and conservation of resources within and outside the City. The Community Plan integrates the goals, objectives and action plans of the City and County's other planning activities, including the Community's Master Plan for Culture and Livability, the Vision 2020 Report, the South of Steamboat Area Plan, US 40 Corridor Master Plan, Downtown Parking Master Plan, Yampa River Corridor Master Plan, and the 1984 and 1989 Blue Ribbon Reports.
The Community Plan has a future, 10 to 15 years perspective, with a five-year update. The current work on the five-year update to the Community Plan is proposed to address recent issues, both within and outside the community. These include the pace of growth over the past 10 years, economic changes, and regional and statewide initiatives such as growth management legislation.
The updated Community Plan will incorporate goals, policies and desires of Steamboat Springs and Routt County Citizens.
