ANNOTATION
"Electorate", as used in subsection (1)(b), refers to the appropriate local electorate which is affected by the approval of a project and which accepts, by its approval, the consequences of a exemption from land use control under this article. City & County of Denver v. Bergland, 517 F. Supp. 155 (D. Colo. 1981); City & County of Denver v. Bd. of County Comm'rs, 760 P.2d 656 (Colo. App. 1988), aff'd, 782 P.2d 753 (Colo. 1989).
Under § 29-20-107, a county cannot disregard a limitation of its authority found in another statute. The zoned land exemption contained in subsection (1)(c)(II) is not, however, a "requirement" that is meant to "control" under § 29-20-107. Droste v. Bd. of County Comm'rs, 85 P.3d 585 (Colo. App. 2003).
