An update is under way on the now 13-year-old Joint Upper Blue Master Plan, which Summit County planners say will bring it up to date with current conditions and address new planning issues.

The master plan update, expected some time in the spring of 2011, will bring the master plan in line with current goals for limiting potential development and density in the interest of preserving the existing community character and backcountry land. It will also take into account the current status of development in the Upper Blue basin and initial goals in the plan that have already been achieved.

A seven-member advisory committee, formed in October, will take the lead on the update. The committee, along with planning staff members and local governments, will determine how to revise the master plan to maintain a comfortable carrying capacity in the valley without impeding economic development or risking the environment and community character.
