Recent Code Changes 

Neighborhood Preservation Policy: The Town of Breckenridge values the diversity of homes throughout its neighborhoods, including diversity in home size, type, and architecture. The variety of different types of homes reflect the deep and colorful history of Breckenridge, from its small mining town roots through its evolution to a world-class resort destination. Recent trends of demolishing existing homes and replacing them with large residences that dominate the viewshed compromise the character of our town and neighborhoods and do not align with multiple Town goals and community values, including Community Character, Natural Resources, the Built Environment and Sustainability.

Staff have been directed by Town Council to focus on the following Development Code policies:

• Setbacks – consideration to require greater distances between homes and greater distances from rights-of-way
• Building Height - 35’ maximum building height to remain but establish a maximum percentage of ridges that can be within a certain amount of feet of 35’
• Elimination of Positive Points for Electric Vehicle Chargers & Landscaping for single-family home projects
• Additional density or square footage restrictions are not recommended by Town Council

Community Development held work sessions with local building and architecture professionals and general open houses on March 6, May 21, and June 25, 2025 to gain community feedback on the proposed policy changes.

You can view the NPP open house presentation here.

Recently codified in October, Ordianance 13 amended Policies 9R, 22R, and 33R to remove relative setbacks for single family residences, modify positive point requirements for installing EV chargers, and remove single family and duplex residences from being eligible for positive points for landscaping. This was the first phase of several in our Neighborhood Preservation Policy code updates.
