Barns or Greenhouses?
Is a Greenhouse a "Barn" in which "trees, shrubs, flowers or vegetables are grown"? Here is a chart showing the "barn floor area" in excess of F.A.R. that properties of 20-acres or more may build, under current Pitkin County regulations. Shouldn't we allow something for 10-acre, even 2-acre properties? (click on an image to see it blown up larger by your browser - click the back button to return to the blog)

Yes a greenhouse is considered a "barn" as defined in the Code. There is a provision (6-30-140.b) that allows someone to apply for some (if <20 acres) or more (>20 acres) exempt barn square footage for a "bona fide agricultural operation". Looks like Tom Waldeck will be applying under this provision for one of his barns.
