MAURO RODRIGUEZ and LOUISA RODRIGUEZ, Case Number: 22-C-32836
Division: C
Defendants.
ORDER IMPOSING PENALTIES FOR ZONING VIOLATIONS
This matter came before the Court on December 5, 2022, for an evidentiary hearing to
review the stipulation agreed upon by the parties and ordered by the Court on July 7,2022.Plaintiff
was represented by Assistant Weld County Attorney Matthew Conroy, and Defendants failed to
appear. Testimony was heard from Bethany Pascoe, Weld County Code Compliance Officer.
Based upon the foregoing, this Court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of
law:
1. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties herein. This is an
action to enforce zoning and/or building code violations within the unincorporated area of
Weld County pursuant to C.R.S. §30-28-124.5, C.R.S. §30-28-210, Weld County Code
(WCC) §23-10-40, and WCC §29-11-10(C). Defendants were properly served on June 14,
2022. Defendants consented to the Court's jurisdiction and entered into a stipulation on
July 7, 2022, which was approved and ordered by the Court on July 7, 2022.
2. Defendants own and/or occupy the property located at 6711 County Road 21,Fort Lupton,
Colorado 80621, in unincorporated Weld County(the "Property"). The Property is zoned (A)
Agricultural.
3. By stipulation, Defendants agreed that the Property was in violation of the Weld County
Code due to the presence of a visible noncommerical junkyard, multiple commercial vehicles,
an unpermitted accessory building,and unpermitted electrical work.Defendants further agreed
to resolve all of these issues by August 19, 2022. Weld County Code Compliance Officer,
Bethany Pascoe has inspected the property on multiple occasions, including most recently on
November 30, 2022. As detailed by the testimony of Ms. Pascoe, and as depicted in the
photographs admitted into evidence as Exhibits 1-5, most of the issues have been resolved as
of the date of the inspection, but not the electrical work completed without a permit.
4. The Court finds that the property still contains unpermitted electrical work after the
stipulated deadline of August 19, 2022 in violation of the Weld County Code and the
Stipulation; and thus Defendants have materially breached the stipulation.
5. Defendants agreed to remedy all of the violations on the property as set forth in the
stipulation but have failed to do so. The Court finds that Plaintiff has proven by a
preponderance of evidence that the property is in violation of the Weld County Code and that
the defendants have materially breached the stipulation.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED:
6. At the request of the County, a $20.00 per day penalty is ordered due to the continued
violation instead of the stipulated$50.00 per day. The penalty will begin on December 5,2022
and will continue until further order of this Court. At request of the County, execution and
collection of this judgement will be stayed for 30 days.
SO ORDERED.
