Huerfano Land Use Guide:

"Above ground telecommunications facilities, particularly towers, antennas and related commercial communications fixtures shall be grouped or clustered and wherever feasible located east of Interstate Highway I-25 and north of Highway 10. Under no circumstances shall such facilities be located within a SCO Scenic Conservation Overlay District or location that obstructs or infringes on ridge line views or other local scenic features."

The designated scenic corridors include: ...
