There is a place at the end of the Resolution where the Town apparently desires to have the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County sign as having received and approved the Plan. Please be advised that the Board of County Commissioners thanks the Town of Platteville for sending the Plan to the Board for review; however, the Board will not be considering the Plan for adoption. The Board typically does not assume the role of adopting any comprehensive plans of municipalities located entirely or partially within Weld County. The Board may comment on a specific comprehensive plan, but does not see its role as one of formal adoption. With this in mind, we have signed the Resolution to acknowledge that the Plan has been received by Weld County. Please call me at (970) 356-4000, extension 4390, if you have any questions or to discuss. ---7 Sncerely,.! r Bruce T.

OP • • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 • • Platteville's Three Mile Area Boundary is intended to promote a regional approach to planning, • particularly with respect to the provision of centralized services, particularly wastewater. The • Ultimate 208 Wastewater Boundary is the same as the adopted Annexation Plan Boundary. • The Three-mile Area Boundary/Annexation Plan is also synonymous with the definition of the • Platteville Planning Area as defined in the Weld County Coordinated Planning Agreement with • the Town of Platteville as defined in Section 19-1-40 of the Weld County Land Use • Regulations—"The area located outside of but within three (3) miles of the Town's municipal boundaries". Further, this boundary meets the statutory requirement of having a "plan in place" • for the area outside the municipality -- a required precondition to any annexation [C.R.S. § 31- • 12-105] and further is consistent with Section 19-1-70 of the adopted Coordinated Planning • Agreement between Weld County and the Town of Platteville. The Platteville Urban Growth • Area represents land the Town is willing to annex if it can be shown that is of overall fiscal benefit to the Town. • • Lastly, intent of the Planning Area is to ensure that development within the Town's recognized • annexation plan boundary is reviewed to determine its future eligibility for annexation and to ensure it connects to existing development in a logical fashion. Colorado law requires counties • to inform municipalities of any development planned within two miles of a municipality's • corporate boundary. This established Planning Area allows the Town or its citizens to comment • on new development on its periphery and fosters an intergovernmental approach to addressing • growth where services might be shared and regional and local plans respected. • The Ultimate 208 Wastewater Utility Service Area Boundary • The Ultimate 208 Wastewater Service Area Boundary is synonyms with the 3 mile Planning • Area Boundary which serves as Platteville's 'plan in place' and represents land that the Town • may wish to annex if such land can be easily served with centralized sewer and water. • Once the Comprehensive Plan is formally adopted, the Town will be entering into • Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA's) with both Milliken and Gilcrest. Given that both Milliken • and Platteville have designated the area north of WCR 38.5 to WCR 42, west of Highway 60 as • appropriate for low intensity agriculturally based land uses, the Town of Platteville agrees that it • will not annex any land north of WCR 38.5 unless it can show that it can be served and shall not annex this land without first discussing the most efficient delivery of centralized service with both • the Town of Milliken and Town of Gilcrest. • • Platteville Urban Growth Area • The Platteville Urban Growth Area is land that is likely to be subject to increased development • pressures and is deemed appropriate for development and urban services. It is the area that • the Town of Platteville has defined as appropriate for the location and development of land • consistent with the Town's regulations and infrastructure requirements. The Urban Growth Area Boundary also serves as the 208 Wastewater Utility Service Area Boundary. This defined area • has been recognized and accepted by the Towns of Gilcrest and Milliken as well as the St. • Vrain Sanitation District. A copy of the letters in support of the 208 Wastewater Utility Service • 33 1 • • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 Area Boundary which also serves as the Town's Urban Growth Area Boundary can be found in Appendix D. Platteville's adopted 208 Wastewater Utility Service Area Boundary serves as the basis of the Intergovernmental Agreements with Weld County, and the Town of Milliken, Gilcrest and Mead. Most recent growth management initiatives to curb sprawl have required localities to establish urban growth boundaries to direct growth to those areas where centralized services can be delivered in a cost effective manner. It should be noted that the delineation of this urban growth area does not guarantee that Platteville will be able to service this entire area with its current facilities and capabilities. Most Colorado municipalities have found that the establishment of an Urban Growth Area boundary serves to contain leapfrog development, preserve outlying areas for agricultural and other less intensive uses, and provide greater market predictability for developments that have already been approved. The Platteville Near-Term Urban Services Area The concept of an "urban services area" involves the use of urban service extension policies to define the areas where new development will or will not have access to municipal urban services thus steering new development toward designated growth areas. Platteville's Near- Term Urban Services Area respects the existing drainage patterns, floodplain, and changes in topography. It is the area that can be serviced now with both water and sewer. This Near- Term Urban Services Area does not require the development of new plant sites on the other side of the river nor at an elevation lower than the existing plant. Maps showing existing sewer and water service can be found in Chapter 5. 34I 0 .

Promote and identify Platteville as the commercial 0 center for the Weld County sub-region known as the river towns. • PRINCIPLE ED-2: Promote the successful development of convenience retail and • • service establishments that will meet the needs of Platteville residents. • PRINCIPLE ED-3: Inform existing businesses of opportunities for expansion or • . collaborative partnerships when new businesses are looking to relocate in the region. • PRINCIPLE ED-4: Encourage desirable commercial and industrial development— . non-polluting and supportive of the community—in accordance with the Future • Land Use Plan. • PRINCIPLE ED-5: Continue to work with the existing and new companies that • . are servicing energy development in the Wattenberg Basin. • PRINCIPLE ED-6: Work to enhance the Town's tax base allowing the Town to • invest in public facilities and amenities desired by residents. POLICIES • Seek a balance of commercial, industrial, and residential growth. S . Attract quality businesses that meet the everyday convenience needs of Platteville residents and positively add to the community by working with businesses and residents as well as with Upstate Colorado, the Southwest Weld Initiative group, and the North Metro Small . Business Development Center in Brighton to identify and pursue opportunities to bring a wider range of basic goods and services into the community (e.g., hardware stores, drugstores, family restaurants, and a grocery store of any size). • Encourage business owners and residents to become involved in all economic and business issues concerning Platteville. • 39 1 Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 • Keep lines of communication open with the business community, so that the Town can formally and informally keep businesses aware of the opportunities to patronize other local businesses. Creating these 'linkages' are essential to building Platteville's economy. • Industrial development should be encouraged within the Town limits and industries should develop in a manner consistent with the overall image and appearance policies of the Town. • Work with Upstate Colorado to attract primary sector employers. • Promote Platteville as a growing community near DIA on a coast-to-coast rail line. • Recruit quality employers to provide jobs for area residents and to diversify the local economy. If needed, develop a package of business incentives geared in particular to helping small businesses stay and grow in Platteville. • Encourage new downtown uses that will have both day and evening activities. • Create land use standards and zoning districts that aid in attracting quality businesses to the community. • Implement land use regulations to ensure that new industry is located, designed, and operated to minimize negative impacts on surrounding land uses and the overall image of the community. • Deny requests for any industrial use, which based on thorough analysis and evidence, will negatively impact the quality of Platteville's water, air, and soils if said impacts cannot be mitigated. • Given that US 85 is an access-controlled highway, locate commercial retail and service uses requiring high visibility in nodes specifically designed to accommodate auto—oriented commercial development. As shown on the Future Land Use Plan, this includes all four corners of the following intersections: the intersection of US 85 and Highway 66, the intersection north and south of WCR 28 along US 85, the intersection of US 85 and WCR 34, the intersection of Highway 60 and US 85 and the intersection of WCR 21 and WCR 32.5. • Utilize the following locational criteria to assist in the location of large-scale commercial and industrial land uses: o Good access to highways and railroads. The uses shall not create traffic impacts on less intensive land uses; particularly residential uses. o Close proximity to other industries. When industries are grouped together, there are fewer negative impacts on other land uses. o Close proximity to existing or planned infrastructure particularly sewer, water, and electricity. No commercial or industrial uses shall be allowed on septic unless they meet the guidelines established by the Colorado Department of Health as specified in C.R.S. § 25-10-101 through 112 as well as Weld County and Town of Platteville health standards. 401 • - OP • • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 • • • Encourage commercial and office park development that incorporates unified site design • and traffic circulation planning in areas that have easy access to US 85. • • Encourage higher intensity land uses, such as new employment centers, to locate within • municipal boundaries where adequate services are available and in close proximity to • housing for potential future employees. • • Stimulate the development of sites within the Town that are currently undeveloped or under • developed through incentives, such as the ability to phase required public improvements • and density bonuses. • Managed Growth & Land Use (LU) • • Land Use • PRINCIPLE LU-1 : Manage how and where growth occurs. • • PRINCIPLE LU-2: Manage growth through equitable and appropriate land use • standards and through the efficient and orderly development of needed • infrastructure and improvements in advance, or as a part of new growth. • • PRINCIPLE LU-3: Ensure compatible land uses, particularly in areas not yet • within the Town limits by adhering to the Future Land Use Plan map. • • PRINCIPLE LU-4: Encourage new development to locate where it can be easily • served through the extension of existing water and sewer lines, thereby • reducing a developer's upfront costs. • • PRINCIPLE LU-5: Revise the Town's Zoning Ordinance to reflect the land use • districts described in the Future Land Use Plan. • • POLICIES • • Work with the County to ensure the principles and policies contained within this Plan are • adhered to by updating the existing Intergovernmental Agreement with Weld County. • • Provide a wider array of land use types to meet changing needs and help ensure the fiscal • sustainability of the community. • • Promote growth from the inside out by encouraging infill development on vacant land within • the Town and Urban Services Area, with particular attention to the area between the current • town limits and West Farm to the west and between the current town limits and the recently annexed industrial land at WCR 38 and Highway 60. • • 41 • • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 • Use landscape buffers, native plantings, and berms along major streets, specifically those streets that serve as a main thoroughfare into Town: Highway 60; US 85; Highway 66 and WCR 32.5. Determine maintenance responsibilities prior to the installation of any improvements. • Provide for the logical extension of needed infrastructure. • Upon adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, revise the Town's zoning ordinance and land use standards to better reflect the type and intensity of uses outlined in this Comprehensive Plan. • Specific sections of the Town's Zoning Ordinance that require attention include: • New zone districts that are mindful of newer development practices, provide greater predictability for the development community and ensure the desired balance of residential, commercial, industrial, and public uses. • Create a performance-based list of permitted uses within each district that are consistent with the new Plan thereby allowing greater flexibility. • Allow a greater range of uses within each zone district so long as impacts are mitigated. • Add new zoning definitions and clarify definitions that have created confusion in the past, particularly between the zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance. • Strive to remove any inconsistencies between the International Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Fire Codes and the Town's land use regulations. • Carefully consider land uses in or near transitional zones to ensure the orderly progression between uses of differing types and densities. • Support implementation of landscaped buffers and/or mutually agreed upon transitional uses between zones of differing land uses and densities. This serves to address differing uses such as a proposed industrial, office or commercial use located adjacent to an I established residential subdivision, and/or differing residential densities. I • Identify areas where sufficient capacity exists to serve new development with water, sewer, and street access. • To reduce infrastructure costs, encourage new development (residential, industrial, and commercial)to locate adjacent to existing development and existing services (e.g. water, sewer, and streets).

An increased tax base shall not be the sole determinant, but shall be a major objective in ensuring services and facilities desired by Platteville citizens that are financially supported and achieve stated land use policies. • Require that concept plans accompany all annexation petitions greater than five acres in size or any project that involves more than one use. . • All annexations shall continue to be accompanied by an annexation agreement ensuring that the annexation 'pays its own way' and does not burden current taxpayers. S 431 Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 Transportation System PRINCIPLE LU-7: Provide for an efficient, safe, continuous and connected transportation system. PRINCIPLE LU-8: Ensure that the transportation system is both aesthetically appealing and provides needed north/south and east/west connections. PRINCIPLE LU-9: Reduce the adverse impacts of existing and future transportation systems through a combination of careful planning and mitigation techniques. PRINCIPLE LU-10: Develop a long term Master Transportation Plan. POLICIES • Ensure that new development provides adequate transportation improvements. • Develop a Master Transportation Plan that can be used as an overall guide for prioritizing transportation deficiencies and to ensure necessary right-of way is acquired to ensure connectivity between existing developed areas and areas to be annexed. • Develop a safe truck route through town that minimizes disturbance to existing and planned residential areas. • Continue to work with the US 85 Coalition to seek enhancements to the US 85 corridor that complement the adopted CDOT US 85 Access Control Plan. • Cooperatively plan logical and economical road extensions and linkages using the Three Mile Street Plan as a guide. • Continue to cooperatively plan and finance needed transportation with the State, Weld County, and CDOT. • Locate major traffic-generating land uses along designated arterials, with access from collectors. Access points should be limited to every '/ mile. • Substantially reduce risks to public safety. Prioritize traffic improvements that will increase safety such as turn and acceleration lanes, stop signs, lane realignment, and safe crossing zones. • Require the dedication of additional roadway rights-of-way with any annexation proposal Planned Development or subdivision application. • Improve the connectivity of east-west arterial and collector roads. • Develop Main Street as a parallel north-south route to US 85 44 I • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 • Mitigate the secondary impacts of traffic congestion, including the protection of air and water • quality and stormwater system enhancements. • • Community Character (CC) • Overall Image and Identity • • PRINCIPLE CC-1 : Foster community pride, and establish a strong sense of place by enhancing the appearance and image of Platteville. • • PRINCIPLE CC-2: Improve the overall image of the community as viewed from • the US 85 Corridor and Highway 66. • • POLICIES • • Create and enforce sign regulations that reinforce a distinctive identity for the Town. • Develop standards to ensure that new development is appropriately sited, is complimentary • in size and scale with the character of the Town, and is unique to the Town of Platteville. • Create "gateways" at all entrances to Town to create a strong, favorable visual impression . and community identity for people entering the Town through the installation of landscaping • and well designed Platteville signs with the Town logo as part of the gateway feature. . • The US 85 corridor is one of the gateways to the community. Ensure that the corridor is well maintained and free of weeds and debris. . • Work with CDOT to improve the image of the CDOT controlled weigh station or if such . attempts are unsuccessful, seek to relocate the weigh station to a location that is not at the entrance to Town. • • As properties along US 85 expand, or there is a change in use, require proper signs and a • landscaped edge along the Highway Corridor as recently installed by the Rocky Mountain . Milling Company. Also, consider the installation of visually appealing sound walls as another means to improve the image of the corridor. . • Highway 66 is the main corridor that connects the Town of Platteville to Interstate 25. Install . a gateway feature as you enter town from the west and ensure that any development along the corridor includes consolidated points of access. . • Create a specific zoning category for lands along both highway corridors to ensure that . these important routes function properly and do not look like anywhere USA. 451 ! O Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 PRINCIPLE CC-3: Control weeds, debris and dust with particular attention to areas that are visible from major roads. • Encourage better property maintenance to enhance the overall appearance of the community and enforce nuisance codes. • Work with CDOT to enhance Highway 66, US 85, and the US 85 Business segment. • Reasonable landscape and paving standards should be applied to commercial development to keep the weeds and dust under control. PRINCIPLE CC-4: As the Town grows and develops, look at ways to retain the rural, small town atmosphere of Platteville. Desirable attributes to build upon the small town atmosphere include being able to walk or drive to most community amenities without sitting in traffic, an abundance of open space around the edges of the community, knowing your neighbors, and an approachable Town government. • Preserve open lands between Platteville's Ultimate 208 Wastewater Service Area and adjacent Towns as a means of preserving Platteville's identity. People need to know when they are leaving Firestone, Mead or Milliken and entering Platteville. • New development should respect the Town's physical setting, history, and role in the region by incorporating unique features into any development, be it the South Platte River Corridor, open lands that remind one of the Town's agricultural heritage or oil and gas wells successfully and safely incorporated into new subdivision design. • Create standards that ensure new development and redevelopment are harmonious with the Town's desired image. • Review sign codes used by other towns with similar physical settings and markets and incorporate the best aspects of those into a strong, enforceable sign code for Platteville that will help provide visual continuity, minimize visual hazards, and attract business. • Preserve agricultural lands located outside Platteville's Urban Growth Boundary by working with the County to ensure they remain zoned for agricultural use until such time as centralized services can be provided. 46 I _" • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 • Appearance and Vitality of Downtown Core • PRINCIPLE CC-5: Improve the appearance and vitality of Platteville's Downtown Core by creating a new downtown zone district that allows mixed-use • development and encourages all buildings to front directly on an established • . sidewalk with no side yard setbacks. PRINCIPLE CC-6: Downtown should serve as the symbolic and cultural center of • Platteville. PRINCIPLE CC-7: Cultural venues, civic activities, eating and entertainment, specialty and retail shopping should be the emphasis in the downtown area. • • PRINCIPLE CC-8: Downtown beautification and unified appearance will strengthen Platteville's sense of "place" and character. PRINCIPLE CC-9: Streetscape amenities and improved access will benefit downtown (economically, aesthetically, culturally, socially, etc.) POLICIES • Encourage new commercial development and/or redevelopment and work to encourage mall . development between existing businesses. . • Encourage facade improvements. • Ensure parking areas are subordinate to the primary use. • Enhance the character and pedestrian-friendly environment of Platteville's Downtown Core through the planting of street trees, the installation of pedestrian scale lighting, a better sign . and information system and installation of benches where possible. Provide access from surrounding development. • Extend Main Street north to WCR 34 to provide an area that can accommodate large, convenience oriented shopping with easy access off US 85. • Ensure adequate parking in the downtown area to prevent parking in nearby residential areas. • Consider adopting an 'in lieu' of providing parking on-site fee, thus allowing new businesses to maximize their commercial land. The 'in lieu' of fee is paid to the Town to fund the purchase of land for a public parking area to serve the downtown businesses that have decided not to use valuable land to meet their parking needs on-site. 471 i I Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 • Establish clear boundaries for the downtown area and reinforce "the you have arrived" in downtown Platteville with planned streetscape improvements. Methods to finance such improvements include a development impact fee such as imposed by the nearby Town of Mead and obtaining grant funds from various State and Federal agencies. • Attract more restaurants and entertainment venues to the downtown. • Continue to implement public directional signs and wayfinding signs to announce events and direct people to the downtown. • Create a pedestrian-friendly street by requiring sidewalks within the CDOT right-of-way from the back of the curb to the front of the building and establish a network of pedestrian paths that connect the downtown to schools and neighborhoods. Preserve Historic and Cultural Resources PRINCIPLE CC-10: Identify and preserve Platteville's historic and cultural resources. POLICIES • Significant features within the Town such as creeks, floodplains, irrigation ditches, wetlands, historic and architectural features should be preserved and enhanced. They are the historic framework that makes the Platteville area unique. • Work with local volunteers including those active with the Museum, seniors, as well as the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, to inventory local resources that explain and teach us about Platteville's history. The Lutheran Church, historic homes throughout town and a number of storefronts along Main Street, potentially qualify for inclusion on the State or National Register of Historic Places. This also provides the Town with the ability to secure grant funds from the Colorado Historical Society, as well as, tax incentives for preservation. • Work with local volunteers and the Chamber of Commerce to install historic site markers for those structures that qualify for the National or State Register of Historic Structures. • Foster the community's interest and support for historic preservation. 481 ,' U • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 Visual Amenities PRINCIPLE CC-11 : Preserve and protect the South Platte River Corridor. PRINCIPLE CC-12: Protect the rural character and unencumbered views toward the mountains. . POLICIES • Encourage site design and development standards that protect and preserve the character of the natural landscape. . • Preserve and reinforce panoramic views of the mountains. • Protect the environmental and visual quality of surface waters, parks, and historic . properties. • Continue the practice first established with the West Farm master planned community, of preserving and ensuring that the South Platte River Corridor is accessible to the entire community through the dedication of open space and commitment of developers adjacent to the river to continue the construction of the 10-foot wide public trail along the west side of the South Platte River. Quality Neighborhoods PRINCIPLE CC-13: Improve the quality of residential neighborhoods in the Town. POLICIES • Enforce existing nuisance and junk ordinances. Prohibit the intrusion of incompatible uses in residential neighborhoods. • Utilize screening and buffering techniques between incompatible uses such as between a residential neighborhood and industrially zoned property. • Ensure that oversized vehicles are not parked where they may become a hazard. • Ensure that all homes maintain front, side and rear yard space.

This land use classification is intended to • discourage leapfrog development and should ensure that land develops in a systematic and • cost conscious manner. The Town of Platteville strongly discourages Weld County from • allowing this land to be developed or subdivided until it is annexed to the Town of Platteville. • When urban levels of service can serve the land designated as "Agriculture/Holding," the Town will re-examine the appropriate locations and recommended uses and densities for this land. • Prior to annexation, the concept is to allow one dwelling unit per existing parcel. • • • Subdivision of land is strongly discouraged. • Desired Attributes and Uses • • Lots comprised primarily of open lands. • Husbandry of domesticated farm or ranch animals permitted by zoning ordinances, • county regulations, or State Law. • • Accessory structures and uses that assist in the production of value-added agricultural • products. • Private and unpaved roads permitted. • • Family farms and ranching businesses. • • Riding school; trout farm; petting corral; small dude ranch; on lots that are at least 10 • acres. • • Veterinarian; Ferrier; saddle repair on lots that are at least 2 acres. • Bed & Breakfast Inns on at least 5 acres. • • Cottage industries and home-based endeavors as part of any agricultural land holding. • • Well-maintained single-family dwellings with or without guest or worker's quarters. • • Irrigation ditches traversing lots should be protected and center flow should be • maintained. • • Impervious cover should be minimized to reduce surface run-off. • • One dwelling unit on each existing parcel under 35 acres. Further subdivision of land is discouraged until it can be served by the Town of Platteville with centralized water and • sewer. • • Pedestrian, bike and equestrian trails are strongly encouraged. • • Bicycle and equestrian-friendly roads with low traffic and travel restrictions on heavy • commercial vehicles wherever possible are appropriate in this area. • 74 I Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 Environmentally Constrained Residential/Recreation (EC-RR) Desired Location and Character The EC-RR category represents land that is currently within the designated floodplain but does not include lands with significant riparian habitat. This land use classification generally includes all lands east of the riparian corridor along the South Platte River and noted as Open Space (OS) on the Future Land Use Plan. This land use classification runs east to the Farmer's Independent Ditch. Intensive development is unlikely due to the extent of the floodplain, but with careful planning, there may be portions of this designated flood plain that can be developed at a very low density and can provide a valuable open space while protecting the floodplain and wetlands. Residential units may be on very large lots or clustered with abundant open space surrounding each development. The area is also well suited for recreational facilities and amenities that do not require a multitude of structures. This includes golf courses, equestrian facilities, and multi-purpose fields for activities such as soccer, baseball, and football. Desired Attributes and Uses • A mix of compatibly designed estate and rural residential home sites or clustered single- family detached houses with or without guest quarters [An example of guest quarter is a subordinate 600 sq. ft. dwelling with limited kitchen facilities within the main dwelling unit or garage]. • Active or passive recreational areas or facilities, both public and private, open or covered, (and which may include related recreational amenities such as, snack bars and restroom facilities, instruction, equipment storage and maintenance facilities provided that such facilities can be elevated out of the flood plain). Other recreational amenities include fishing facilities, shooting ranges, ATV facilities, ball fields, multi-purpose play fields and playgrounds, trails, and passive recreational areas. • Agricultural activities and husbandry of domesticated farm or ranch animals permitted by zoning ordinances, county regulations, or State Law. • Accessory structures and uses that assist in the production of value-added agricultural products. • Private and unpaved roads permitted. • Family farms and ranching businesses. 751 I I 1 WO • • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 •• Low Density Residential (LDR) • Desired Location and Character • The LDR category is established to provide areas in the community where lower density single- • family detached residential development is desired. This land use designation is designed to • promote, stable, well-established neighborhoods with a mix of densities, located off community • collector streets and in close proximity to the regional and local trail system. The lots should be • of sufficient size to allow for off-street parking. This residential category allows for a range of • housing choices. From rural large lot home sites to smaller lots that could accommodate patio homes. Residential densities up to six (6) dwelling units per acre are permitted if sufficient open • space is provided. Residences in the LDR category are generally characterized by a mix of • compatibly designed detached single-family houses, sufficient landscaping, and usable open • space. Sidewalks or paths are provided to connect neighborhoods to regional trails and key • destinations like the local schools • Desired Attributes and Uses • • A mix of compatibly designed single-family detached houses with or without guest • quarters [An example of guest quarter is a subordinate 600 sq. ft. dwelling with limited • kitchen facilities within the main dwelling unit or garage]. • • A variety of housing styles and sizes and a range of lot sizes are strongly encouraged. • • Setbacks between lots should be large enough to allow for landscaping and usable open space and to allow access to a second story window. 10-foot side yard setbacks are • considered minimum. Side yard setbacks should be further increased if a dwelling unit • is over 25 feet high. • • New subdivisions of 10 or more lots should strive to plat the land so as to achieve a • variety in lot size or at minimum variety in house design. • A transition in subdivision lot sizes should be required for any perimeter lots where the • existing adjacent lots are a disparate size. Another option would be an increase in • minimum perimeter setbacks. • • Open space, parks, and trails should be integral to any new subdivision and should be . so designed to provide easy access to schools, recreational amenities, and community destinations. • • Parks or open space should be useable and accessible by sidewalks or off-road trails. • • • • • • • • • 76 1 • • • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 Medium Density Residential Units (MDR) Desired Location and Character The MDR category is established on the Land Use Plan to provide areas in the community where slightly higher density residential development is desired. This residential category, with a range of seven to ten units per acre includes single family detached and attached units such as townhomes, patio homes, carriage houses, and two-and four-unit attached dwelling units. Medium-density development will usually act as a buffer between lower and high-density residential development. Appropriate locations for MDR land uses include area where existing or planned public facilities have the capacity to serve residences and where similar types of housing currently exist. In Platteville, there are older developments such as areas surrounding the downtown core or near the Library that are appropriate for medium density housing. Residents indicated a preference for this type of residential development as a way to maintain the small-town character of Platteville. People generally like that era of development's feel: "bungalow'-style houses with large front porches, detached garages in back, sidewalks, and tree-lined streets. There may also be a desire in the future to provide duplex, tri-plex, and four-plex housing. This provides additional housing choices for lower income and senior residents. This density of development should occur near parks, trails and/or other public amenities that will allow easy pedestrian access for these higher populated areas. Manufactured home communities also fit in this category, since the density of manufactured home communities is typically about eight units per acre. The Plan also encourages infill of vacant lots within the Town limits and redevelopment of incompatible uses at low and medium densities, depending on the type of neighboring residential uses. Areas specifically targeted for infill include the land parcels along Reynolds. Desired Attributes and Uses • Well-maintained dwellings with a density of 7 to 10 dwelling units per acre. • Subdivisions that provide choice in size and cost of housing. • Well-landscaped properties with landscaping appropriate to the principal use of the property, along all perimeter lot lines. • Parking that is subordinate to the principal use and located to the side or rear of the structure. • Single-family, duplex and townhome dwelling units with a zero interior lot line and off- street parking. • Playgrounds, recreational amenities, and common areas that have connecting sidewalks or trails to Town parks, ball fields, and schools nearby. • Spacing between units and screening with fencing, plant materials, or a combination of fencing and plant materials. 77 1 S • • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 • • • Architecture should reflect the small town character of Platteville through the use of • porches, varied building form such as bay windows, additions, and offset garages. • • High Density Residential (HDR) • Desired Location and Character • • The HDR category designates those areas of the community where the highest residential • density is appropriate. Residential densities that exceed ten (10) dwelling units per acre are appropriate in this land use classification. High-density housing typically means attached units that are two to four stories in height. This type of housing includes retirement complexes, • housing for young persons just starting out and condominium complexes. This density is similar • to the three-story apartment complexes next to Riverview Park. • Appropriate locations for HDR land uses generally include those areas of the community where • existing or planned public facilities such as water, sewer, parks, and streets are appropriately • sized to accommodate increased populations and where planned and existing adjacent land uses are compatible with high-density residential land uses. • • Additional high-density development is recommended in close proximity to major retail and • employment centers and with easy access to major collector streets and the State Highway system. • • Desired Attributes: • • Multi-family units that address the demands and needs of larger families. • • Well-landscaped properties with landscaping appropriate to the principal use of the • property, along all perimeter lot lines. • Parking that is subordinate to the principal use and located to the side or rear of the • structure. • • Multi-family complexes with off-street parking in garages or in landscaped parking lots. • • Trash enclosures, maintenance equipment, and storage sheds that are screened and • located out of public view. • • Playgrounds, recreational amenities, and common areas. • Spacing between units and screening with plant materials or plant materials and fencing • along the perimeter of the development; fencing alone is strongly discouraged. • • High quality design with on-site amenities such as a club house, pool, recreational • facilities, and play areas within the complex. • • Apartments and condominiums should include sidewalks and/or connecting trails to • nearby shopping and area parks. • Encourage owner occupancy of individual units. • • More than ten units per acre, clustered with no more than 30 units per building to provide • additional useable open space. • • • 78 1 • • • I � Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 Village Center Mixed Use (VC-MU) Desired Location and Character The purpose of this land use designation is to provide a mixture of non-residential and residential development that provides convenience goods, services, and employment opportunities for area residents. This land use category includes the area traditionally viewed as "Downtown Platteville" as well as areas that are located at the junction of two major roads that are designated as a major collector road, a major or minor arterial or highway on the adopted Three- Mile Street Plan for the Town of Platteville. The land use plan envisions three (3) Village Centers: • The Historic Heart of Platteville • The Planned Village Center serving the West Farm Community and • A Future Village Center at the junction of Highway 66 and WCR 21 to serve new residential development in the southwest quadrant of the Urban Growth Area. Redevelopment and new development is more likely to occur along Platteville's Main Street by allowing a range of complementary uses including residential uses. This mixed-use land use category preserves the historic heart of Platteville and includes specialized government functions, specialty retail, eating, and drinking establishments. The purpose of this mixed-use area is to ensure that the majority of the small individual owned business and service establishments remain and continue to prosper in what has historically been viewed as Platteville's central business district. This area is easily accessible from both Highway 66 and US 85. Office use above retail establishments is encouraged in this area. This area also serves as a community gathering point. It is both a drive-to as well as walk-to destination. For the newly developing areas, the character of the Village Center Mixed Use Center is similar to newly designed downtown areas. Desired attributes include a pedestrian orientation that establishes and encourages connectivity to adjacent uses and supports all modes of travel. Mixed Use development may include residential development in the mix and should address the physical and functional integration of uses through careful site layout and the thoughtful design 1 of buildings, pedestrian environments, and streets. 1 I 1 79 !

This area currently includes those portions of the downtown area of Platteville that have permitted access to Highway 66 or US 85 and land along Highway 60 and WCR 38 at the north end of Town. Unlike the Village Center Mixed Use land . use category, the community commercial category is designed to accommodate larger . convenience retail establishments such as a grocery store, pharmacy, franchise restaurants, . and professional services. These areas should accommodate small to mid-size shopping centers that provide a mixture of goods, services, and employment opportunities for residents of • the area. This type of land use needs less land area than the Regional Commercial land use . category. Land uses in this later category require at minimum a 40 acre parcel of land. Desired Attributes and Uses . • A mixture of non-residential development that provides goods, services, and employment opportunities for the citizens of Platteville and the unincorporated areas surrounding the Town. • Critical care facilities and satellite hospital facilities, professional offices and financial . institutions are appropriate in this land use category. • A range of compatible non-residential retail uses that provide a dense, walkable . development throughout the site. • A design that eliminates parking as the dominant or most visible use. • • A mixture of complementary retail and service facilities which encourage one-stop shopping. • A site designed to provide transition from heavily traveled main thoroughfares to . residential neighborhoods through the use of landscaped buffers, trees, and berms. . • Projects that contain a mixture of complementary retail and service facilities, and shared access points to encourage one-stop shopping.

CDOT also requires similar transportation improvements for any use that abuts the State Highway system and creates a 20% increase in trips from the site. Other avenues to pursue to ensure that the needed transportation improvements are constructed include: • The Town in cooperation with Weld County should obtain/designate funding to complete a key connection or route. • Work with the County to ensure that all three CDOT controlled highways (US 85, Highway 60, and Highway 66) are identified for improvements as part of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). • Continue working with the US 85 Coalition to seek enhancement funding and to address improvements to the CDOT Weigh Station.

To describe the purpose of the established Planning Area Boundaries and how the • Town wishes to continue to coordinate planning with Weld County through a minor • amendment to the IGA with Weld County known as the Coordinated Planning • Agreement. • 2. To provide the Town Board with the parameters and guidelines for any annexation request; and • 3. To provide the Town with an estimate of how much the Town could grow within the • adopted Urban Growth Area Boundary given the recommended land use • classifications illustrated on the Future Land Use Plan. These estimates include • ultimate population, number of possible residential dwelling units and potential square footage of new non-residential development. These estimates do not • assume a rate of growth. The build-out analysis is provided to assist in future • infrastructure planning. As Infrastructure Master Plans are prepared, a set of growth • assumptions regarding the rate of growth and when growth will occur will need to be • established for each subsequent utility plan based on the Ultimate Build Out analysis provided within this chapter. The growth assumptions will be based upon current • trends, economic conditions, and fiscal realities. • • Planning Area Boundaries • As noted in Chapter 2, this Plan establishes four planning boundaries: • The Annexation Plan/ Ultimate 208 Wastewater Service Area Boundary which also serves as the Platteville Planning Area pursuant to the Intergovernmental Agreement between the • Town of Platteville and Weld County. (See Map 1, in Chapter 2); • • Urban Growth Area Boundary/Wastewater Utility Service Area Boundary (See Map 1 in • Chapter 2); • The Urban Services Area Boundary which illustrates the area that the Town can currently • serve (See Map 5 and Maps 10 and 11); and • • The Three Mile Street Plan (See Map 9 in Chapter 5) • These boundaries provide greater predictability. They allow area residents and those interested • in developing in Platteville to understand what areas are eligible for annexation and what areas • should remain, for the time being, as agricultural lands or low intensity large lot residential • parcels. The establishment of these boundaries also informs the County about the desired intensity of development within the defined Planning Area Boundary. • • • • • 110 • • a Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 The Three Mile Planning Area/Annexation Plan Boundary This area defines an area outside of the Town that the County must refer development proposals to the Town of Platteville and allows the Town the right to comment on land use development applications. This boundary represents the largest geographic area. While this boundary could be three miles from the existing municipal boundary, the Town has established this boundary as less than the three miles allowed for the following reasons: • Eastern Boundary: This boundary is approximately one and one-half miles from the eastern edge of Town. It is assumed that the cost of providing centralized services to anything east of the Platteville Ditch within the next ten years is prohibitive given that there is change in topography of approximately two hundred feet, it is costly to serve because it is expensive to extend wastewater lines under US 85; and transportation improvements including improved railroad crossings are not expected within the next five to seven years. • Northern Boundary: While the Planning Area Boundary extends north to WCR 42, it is unlikely that the Town will annex any land north of the recently annexed 135 acre parcel located just west of Highway 60, between WCR 38 and WCR 38.5 as any wastewater plant will be located southwest of the this newly annexed parcel. The Town simply wishes to monitor development within this area. • Western Boundary: Both the Planning Area boundary and Urban Growth Area boundary extend to WCR 19.5. Growing west of WCR 19.5 is constrained by the Xcel Power Transmission line; a change in topography and the area is within the St. Vrain Sanitation Service District. • Southern Boundary: It is unlikely that the Town will annex any land south of WCR 28, but the Town wishes to monitor development activity south to WCR 26.

Priority Area # 1: The Platte vile Urban Services Area The Platteville Urban Services Area represents land that can most easily be served by existing infrastructure. Since infrastructure is in place and can be easily expanded, it is Town policy that no Title 32 Districts, most often referred to as 'Metropolitan Districts', will be approved within this area for the operation of necessary public facilities, specifically water and/or sewer services. Metropolitan districts may be allowed for financing necessary capital improvements but any public improvement and facility constructed by any property owner, subdivider, or developer shall be dedicated to the Town once such public improvement or facility becomes operational as set forth in Chapter 13: Municipal Utilities of the Platteville Municipal Code. Priority Area #2: The Platteville Urban Growth Area The Platteville Urban Growth Area identifies land that may be subject to future development and will impact transportation, circulation, parks, trails and recreation connections as well as school facility needs. Any proposed development within this area should be annexed into the Town of Platteville if urban levels of service are required. Due to the need to increase the percentage of non-residential land uses, particularly those that provide local jobs or sales tax revenue, first 113 1 IP Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 priority shall be considered for annexation requests that provide greater fiscal stability to the . Town of Platteville. Second priority shall be considered for mixed-use projects that provide (a) • non-residential component(s) and (b) diversify the type of housing found in Platteville. To . ensure that development is in keeping with the Town's adopted Comprehensive Plan, and Chapters 19 and 22 of the Weld County Code, the Town shall adhere to the following policies. • Policies to Ensure Regional Land Use & Utility Coordination 1) The Town of Platteville Urban Growth Area Plan boundary illustrates lands that the lb Town of Platteville is willing to annex if approached by property owner. . 2) The Town of Platteville will work with Weld County to update the existing • Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) specifically stating Platteville's intentions and . preferences for the development of those areas within the Platteville Urban Growth Area.

The Planning Commission and Town Board may wish to refer to the 1991 Edition, as amended, of the Colorado Municipal League's ANNEXATION IN COLORADO handbook. 1) Does the Annexation meet all of the requirements of Colorado Municipal Annexation Act and its amendments along with adopted Town of Platteville criteria? Is the land proposed for annexation contiguous to other land in the Town that is already receiving Town services? 2) Is there an accurate map of the proposed annexation that includes: all street rights of way and connections to the existing street system, location of current and proposed boundaries, location of utilities that the annexation will connect to, proposed land uses, and zoning requests? 3) Has the applicant substantially adhered to the Town of Platteville's adopted Three Mile Street Plan? 4) Has the applicant prepared a thorough annexation impact report for parcels over five acres in size that meets the requirements of C.R.S. 31-12-108.5? (Note that the Platteville Municipal Code sets the trigger for an impact report at 5-acres rather than the 10-acres specified in Statute) 5) Has Town Staff prepared a list of benefits and liabilities the proposed annexation will provide for the Town of Platteville? (Qualitative analysis) 6) Are the financial benefits and costs to the taxpayers of the Town of Platteville and the annexing area clearly defined? What are the near term fiscal benefits prior to vertical development? What are the long-term fiscal benefits at build-out? (Quantitative analysis of impact on the Town's General Fund, operational funds such as the water and sewer fund and street maintenance fund as well as any Capital Funds). 7) How will the area be serviced? Does the annexation clearly indicate the following: o Public Water and Sewer Line Capacity o Public Wastewater Treatment Capacity o Public Water Treatment Capacity o Public Raw Water Capacity and Water Supply as required by Weld County and the State of Colorado o Minimum Acceptable Water Pressure o Avoidance of Flood Prone Areas 8) Does the land use application provide for the type and variety of land uses in accordance with the recommended overall land use patterns as depicted on the Platteville Future Land Use Plan? 9) Is there an annexation agreement that satisfactorily addresses land use, transportation, and servicing requirements? 1151 S • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 al al 10)Does the residential annexation request include public land dedication requirements so • that adequate open space, parkland, and public facility sites (schools, police, fire, and • maintenance) are secured? • 11)Is there an acceptable draft annexation agreement or pre-annexation agreement that strives to minimize the short and long-term costs of providing community services and al facilities for the sole benefit of the annexed area? all 12)How much development can ultimately occur within the defined Urban Growth Area • Boundary? al al al • When a Dim ith rine:-nest .c ee.eet -1, A. e7.'F S a Iv ty e e tep� y, l I F F Y l'1 1-1.E es• at s alwayso w erpio _� pe t9 eg In.. and has tie!, Die • .REF 1 c,CMO T I 1 1( \(h hC i..c ELev To.( fir, i s.:+ Bet .

The rate at which residential land is assessed has changed dramatically since • 1983. In 1983, residential properties were assessed at 21%, and commercial, industrial, and • personal property were and remain valued at 29% of the actual value of the property. Agricultural land is valued at 29% of the lands' productivity value. After 1983, the rate of • assessment for residential property has continued to decrease. In 2002, it was set at 9.15%. • • 1471 • Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan 2010 For 2003, 2004 and 2005, the percent was set at 7.96%. The residential valuation has remained at 7.96% since 2007. It is impossible to compare valuations before 2003 because there has been a change in the residential valuation, but no change in the commercial valuation. What is known is the decrease in the rate of assessment on residential property continues to present real fiscal challenges for all units of government in Colorado. From a land use perspective, many communities recognize the high value of commercial development. The municipality benefits from a high assessment rate (29%) and the additional bonus of sales tax revenue. Counties also recognize that sales tax revenue producing development within a municipality means the County still gets its percentage of sales tax revenue as well as property tax revenues if the development were located in the County, but it does not need to provide urban levels of service to the commercial development.

A careful review of all building permits since 2001 indicates the following characteristics regarding investment and improvements to land parcels within the Town of Platteville. • New housing starts exceeded home improvements from 2001 to 2005 and then starting in 2006, improvements to existing homes increased as the economy slowed. • Improvements to existing homes include such repairs as re-roofing, plumbing, and mechanical upgrades continue to occur at a relatively consistent pace. • Improvements to existing commercial establishments far surpassed new commercial construction, most were for tenant finish. • New commercial establishments account for spikes in valuation in the years 2002, 2005 and 2008.

My letter of August 23, 2010 to the Town of Platteville raised some of Milliken's concerns about the proposal and suggested Milliken's desire to hold discussions about shared wastewater treatment services and facilities. Subsequent to that letter you and your staff facilitated a very helpful conversation on Tuesday, September 7 with elected and staff representatives of Milliken and the Town of Gilcrest where we gained a better understanding of your proposal and discussed our jurisdictional interests. That discussion,along with a visit by David Brand, your Director of Public Works, to a Town of Milliken Board of Trustees meeting on Wednesday, September 8, and a more recent meeting on Monday, September 13 of several elected officials and staff of the three communities, culminated in the Board of Trustee's endorsement at its September 22 meeting of Platteville's expanded 208 service area proposal. In addition we agree that the towns will continue to discuss issues of common concern such as shared utility services, land use, growth boundaries, and other related issues in locations where our planning areas overlap. We envision that those discussions will culminate in the drafting and acceptance of a memorandum of understanding (MOU), and later appropriate intergovernmental agreements, which will outline how we move forward. We envision that our neighbors in Gilcrest will be full partners in those discussions and will be a party to eventual agreements that will be mutually advantageous to our three communities, and the region. In the near term, Milliken will join with Platteville and Gilcrest in drafting a MOU specifically defining the 208 Coordination area defined as the boundary of WCR 38.5 north to WCR 42, and Hwy 60 west to the Platte River as a portion of the 208 Ultimate Service Area boundaries to he included in the Gilcrest. Milliken and Platteville WWUP when completed. On behalf of Mayor Lichtfuss and the Board of Trustees, I thank you for inviting us to participate in the discussions and we look forward to a continued dialogue with representatives of Platteville and Gilcrest.
