Background/Purpose:
The Local Governmental Land Use Control Enabling Act (C.R.S. § 29-20-101, et seq.) makes explicit the authority of local governments to jointly plan and regulate land use.

The Town of Parker and the City of Lone Tree entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) to allow for joint planning and to guide future land use decisions in areas of mutual interest.

Term and Effective Date:
The IGA, adopted on June 19, 2000, established a term of 15 years.

Primary Elements:
The IGA establishes:

• Annexation boundaries for Parker and Lone Tree
• A ‘buffer area’ between the two municipalities were annexations will not occur without the approval of the other jurisdiction
• An agreement to cooperate in the planning, design, construction and financing of any roadways necessary to mitigate traffic
