The current Telluride Master Plan was originally adopted in 2006 and updated in 2012. The Comprehensive Plan will serve to direct the Town’s future guided in part by the recently adopted 2023 Telluride Community Vision and Action Plan.

The Comprehensive Plan shall outline a future consistent with the Vision Statement:
“A Livable Telluride will remain a sustainable, authentic, and connected community. A Livable Telluride will remain a sustainable, authentic, and connected community. We are a small mountain town that embraces and sustains its distinctive natural setting, advances its reputation for innovation and cultural heritage, and remains true to its roots as a livable and genuine community for future generations of residents, workers, and visitors.”
Finally, the Comprehensive Plan shall clarify the accomplishments and progress from past planning efforts including the Telluride Master Plan and identify new opportunities building upon that progress. The Principles of Livability (Housing, Economy, Community, Environment, and Infrastructure) in the Vision Plan shall be more carefully and thoroughly examined in the interest of developing an inclusive and achievable long-range Comprehensive Plan for the Town.
