HOW WOULD THIS NEW ZONING AFFECT EXISTING PROPERTY OWNERS?
1. The Property is "Grandfathered"
1. The Property is "Grandfathered"
Because existing lots were legally established before the new zoning rules took effect, they are protected as a legal nonconforming lot. This grandfathered status belongs to the property itself, not the owner—meaning the protection automatically transfers to any new buyer.
2. Current Use is 100% Legal
2. Current Use is 100% Legal
The new zoning will not affect the existing property or how you legally use it today. You are completely in the clear to keep enjoying the property exactly as it is.
3. When Does the New Code Matter?
3. When Does the New Code Matter?
The new rules will not come into play UNTIL or UNLESS you decide to make a major change in the future.
If you leave things as they are: The new rules do not apply to you.
If you decide to build or change things: Any new structures, major additions, or subdivisions you want to do down the road must conform to the new code. Remember that the new code is being designed to make these things easier and more streamlined in the future. We will see!

Examples of Zoning Districts Proposed for Missouri Heights...
Residential Estate (tan) - RE zoning is generally a low-density classification designed for large (minimum 10 acre) lots, typically allowing single-family homes, outbuildings, ADUs, low impact home-based businesses and occasionally livestock depending on local water rights. To preserve its quiet, "semi"-rural character, this zone strictly prohibits multi-family housing, commercial businesses, and industrial operations.
Rural Resource or Rural Residential -(dark brown) RR Zoning - This is the lowest-density classification you will find, designed specifically to protect agricultural production, preserve sweeping mountain views, and safeguard sensitive environments. In Colorado, these zones often feature minimum lot sizes— 35+ acres per single home. Because these districts prioritize working land and nature over neighborhood development, the rules are highly protective of the environment.
Agricultural Residential - (dark green) AR3 with a 30-acre minimum lot size. What's allowed and not allow is currently not public.
Existing PUDS - (pink) remain valid and unchanged.
Note: * Definitions above are not yet publicly available and are for example only.
