Lost Creek Zone Map

Summary of Findings
● Six properties are incorrectly zoned
● One property is zoned by the old code
● There are issues with the property owned by the Lost Creek Limited
District
– One property is mis-zoned LDR. It's usage a community
meeting room requires a permit
– Seven other properties are coded improperly as RR
– All the LCLD properties still reflect the owner as Lost Creek
MUD
● Almost all of the remaining single family residential property in Lost
Creek has a zoning, LDR, that limits housing to 2,300 sq ft. 72% in
Lost Creek are larger.

Summary (continued)
● None of the available residential zones for Lost Creek fit all the lot
sizes and house sizes in existence
● The proposed zoning for Lost Creek residential creates numerous
conflicts with the deed restrictions setting up a litigious future for Lost
Creek
● There are no provisions in the code to address wildfire mitigation, the
largest risk facing Lost Creek
● The zoning of Lost Creek's commercial zone now allows not just
offices but neighborhood amenities. This will likely concern some Lost
Creek residents
● Lost Creek is both a Firewise and Dark Skies community. Nothing in
the code reflects those ideals.
