Sec. 20-1-10. Findings.
A. The State Demographers Office projects that there will be a significant amount of new
growth and development in Weld County over the next twenty(20)years, both county-wide
and in the unincorporated area.
B. Projected new growth and development in the county will require a substantial expansion in
roads, drainage infrastructure, and County facilities if existing levels of service are to be
maintained.
2011-0746
ORD2011-2
C. Under the current fiscal structure, additional revenues generated by the projected new
growth and development in the county will not be adequate to fund the needed capital
improvements necessary to accommodate the projected new growth and development if
existing levels of service are to be maintained.
D. In order to address this problem, the Board of County Commissioners has determined that
new land development activity shall bear a proportionate share of the cost of the provision of
new road, drainage and County facilities capital improvements required by such
development.
E. The Board of County Commissioners has determined that the imposition of road, drainage,
and County facilities impact fees are one of the preferred methods of regulating land
development in order to ensure that new development bears a proportionate share of the
costs of the capital improvements necessary to accommodate new development while at the
same time maintaining the existing levels of service and promoting and protecting the public
health, safety and welfare.
F. The Board of County Commissioners has the authority to adopt impact fees pursuant to the
Colorado Constitution and Section 29-20-104.5, C.R.S.
G. In order to implement this policy, the County has adopted this Chapter 20 establishing the
road, drainage, and County facilities impact fees.
H. The road, drainage, and County facilities impact fees assist in the implementation of, and
are consistent with, the Weld County Comprehensive Plan found in Chapter 22 of this Code.
I. No individual landowner is required to provide any dedication or improvement unless credit
against the appropriate impact fee is provided to meet the same need for capital facilities for
which the road, drainage and County facilities impact fees are imposed pursuant to the
terms of this Chapter 20.
Sec. 20-1-20. Short title, authority and application.
A. Title. This Chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Weld County Impact Fee
Ordinance."
B. Authority. The Board of County Commissioners has the authority to adopt this Chapter 20

D. Fee payment. The fee shall be determined and paid to the Department of Planning Services
at the time of issuance of a building permit for the development, or if a building permit is not
required for the development use, upon the County's approval of any development or use
that is the last application required prior to development or use of the land. The fee shall be
computed separately for the amount of construction activity covered by the permit if the
building permit is for less than the entire development. More specifically, impact fees for

pursuant to Sec. 20-1-90.
G. Any person who, prior to the effective date of this Chapter 20 and as a condition of
development approval, agreed to pay the types of impact fees required herein, shall be
responsible for the payment of the fees under the terms of any such agreement. To the

H. Administrative appeal. The administrative decision of the Planning Department calculating
the fees in accordance with fee schedule may be appealed to the Director by filing with the
Director,within ten (10)days of the date of the written decision, a written position statement
stating and specifying briefly the grounds of the appeal. The only grounds for administrative
appeal to the Director is an appeal of the Land Use Type. The Director shall then have
power to affirm or modify the decision of the Department. The Director shall make written
findings of fact and conclusions of law, and apply the definitions of the land use categories in
this Chapter 20 and the provisions of this Section. The applicant may appeal the decision of
the Director to the Board of County Commissioners according to the appeal procedures set
2011-0746
ORD2011-2
forth in Section 2-4-10 of this Code. Upon receipt of either the Director's or Board of County
Commissioners decision the applicant may then conduct an Independent Fee Calculation
Study as further described in Sec. 20-1-80.

submitted prior to the effective date of this Weld County Impact Fee Ordinance,
provided that the construction proceeds according to the provisions of the permit and
the permit does not expire prior to the completion of the construction.
C. Projects built by the Federal Government and the State.
Sec. 20-1-80. Independent fee calculation.
A. The intent of an Independent Fee Calculation Study is to determine appropriate impact fees
for land uses that are not typical of the generalized land uses listed in the impact fee
schedules. It shall not be grounds for an independent fee calculation that the initial
occupant of the development will not generate as much impact as is assumed by the fee
schedules, but that unique and permanent features of the development will result in lower
impacts over the long term.
B. The impact fee may be computed by the use of an Independent Fee Calculation Study at the
election of the fee payer, if the applicant believes it can be demonstrated the nature of the
proposed development make it likely that the impacts generated will cost substantially less to
mitigate than the amount of the fee that would be generated by the use of the fee schedule.
C. The preparation of the Independent Fee Calculation Study shall be the sole responsibility
and expense of the electing party.
D. Any person who requests an Independent Fee Calculation Study shall pay an application fee
for administrative costs associated with the review and decision on such study; the fee for
this review is cited in Chapter 5, Appendix-D.
E. Independent Fee Calculation Study requirements.

independent sources of data for determining appropriate trip generation rate, new
trip factor and average length of a trip on the County's arterial and collector road
system. The Independent Fee Calculation Study shall provide independent data not
used in the impact fee study for all three of these travel demand characteristics. The
independent sources shall be (1) an accepted standard source of transportation
engineering or planning data or (2) a local study on travel demand characteristics

of an application for an independent fee calculation.
2. Within ten (10) days of receipt of an application for Independent Fee Calculation
Study, the Director shall determine if the application is complete. If the Director
determines that the application is not complete, a written statement specifying the
deficiencies shall be sent by mail to the person submitting the application. The
application shall be deemed complete if no deficiencies are specified. The Director
shall take no further action on the application until it is deemed complete.
3. When the Director determines that the application is complete, the application shall
be reviewed by the Director with the assistance of the Department of Public Works
staff, and the Director shall render a written decision in forty-five (45) days on
whether the fee should be modified and, if so, what the amount should be, based
upon the standards below.
G. Standards. If, on the basis of generally recognized principles of impact analysis, it is
determined that the data, information, and assumptions used by the applicant to calculate
that the Independent Fee Calculation Study satisfy the requirements of this Section,the fee
determined in the Independent Fee Calculation Study shall be deemed the fee due and
owing for the proposed traffic-generating development. The adjustment shall be set forth in
a fee agreement. If the Independent Fee Calculation Study fails to satisfy the requirements
of this Section, the fee applied shall be that fee established for the development in the fee
schedule.
H. Appeal of Independent Fee Calculation Study Decision. A fee payer affected by the
administrative decision of the Director on an Independent Fee Calculation Study may appeal
such decision to the Board of County Commissioners, by filing with the Director within ten
(10)days of the date of the written decision a written notice stating and specifying briefly the
grounds of the appeal. The Board of County Commissioners, after hearing, shall have the
power to affirm or reverse the decision of the Director. In making its decision, the Board of
County Commissioners shall make written findings of fact and conclusions of law, and apply
the standards in this Section. If the Board of County Commissioners reverses the decision
