The Town of Eagle is undergoing a comprehensive update to the Land Use and Development Code (zoning and subdivision regulations) for the first time since 1976, when the LUDC was first adopted. This community-based effort will be focused on preparing a code that:
- Implements the goals and policies of the Elevate Eagle Comprehensive Plan (Amended 2021),
- Reflects complete and internally consistent regulations,
- Updates the current regulations to address important local priorities and reflect community development preferences, and
- Is more efficient and user-friendly.
Community involvement and inclusive public engagement is a key component of ReCode Eagle. There will be various opportunities for the community to provide ideas and feedback as we progress through the modules.
We Want to Hear From You!
Resident input is vitally important to ensure the Town's new Code incorporates the community's vision. Residents, property owners and businesses will have many opportunities to get involved and provide feedback.

About the Drafting Process
Code drafts can be dense, and sometimes getting all of the instructions "just right" requires discussion, feedback, and revisions. ReCode Eagle is designed to give project participants a manageable amount of information with each module in a process that builds the new code with each round of review.
Everybody is invited to submit comments and if you'd like, join a meeting to discuss any of the drafts. Draft documents and upcoming meeting details will be made available on the Town of Eagle website, posted at various community-friendly locations, and distributed via email. The Town will also work with Vail Daily and local radio stations to keep everybody informed about how the project is going.
The project starts with the creation of a Code Assessment. The Code Assessment identifies the current regulations that need to be updated, explores how to make those updates, and shares a roadmap of how the LUDC will be reorganized.

As new Code drafts become available, the Town will post documents and resources below. Meeting information related to the LUDC Committee will be available on the Town's website, HERE. LUDC Committee meetings are open to the public and community members are encouraged to attend and provide input.
