BB. A long-range policy document guiding land use, transportation, and development decisions, but not legally binding by itself✓ Correct
CC. Required to be updated every year
DD. Only applicable to commercial developments

Explanation

A master (comprehensive) plan is a policy and planning document that guides a community's long-range vision for land use, transportation, housing, and economic development. In Colorado, it is not itself a zoning ordinance and generally is not legally binding, but it guides decisions about zoning and development approvals.
