The codified 1997 City of Gunnison Land Development Code (LDC) is referred to as a unified code; a single document containing zoning standards, subdivision standards, and a systematic set of review processes. (See the tab above for individual code sections.) The Director of Community Development is responsible for enforcement of the LDC; the City Planner makes recommendations regarding development applications to the Planning and Zoning Commission by reviewing development standards within the LDC. The Planning and Zoning Commission makes decisions on development applications based on the Land Development Code.

The DRAFT Updated LDC is also a unified code. The intent of a unified code is to allow users to find all related land use control provisions in one source document.
