v.
Case Number: 22-C-31938
JOSE MENDOZA,
Division: C
Defendant.
ORDER IMPOSING PENALTIES FOR ZONING VIOLATIONS
This matter came before the Court on September 19, 2022, for an evidentiary hearing to
review the stipulation agreed upon by the parties and ordered by the Court on June 8, 2022.
Plaintiff was represented by Assistant Weld County Attorney Matthew Conroy, and Defendant,
Jose Mendoza, did not 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 violations within the unincorporated area of Weld County
pursuant to C.R.S. §30-28-124.5 and Weld County Code§23-10-40.Defendant was properly
served on April 21, 2022. Defendant consented to the Court's jurisdiction and entered
into a stipulation on June 3, 2022, which was approved and ordered by the Court on June
8, 2022 (the "Stipulation"). In the Stipulation, Defendant agreed to obtain a Floodplain
Hazard Development Permit and screen the junkyard by July 15,2022,or in the alternative
remove the junkyard by July 15, 2022.
2. Defendant owns and/or occupies the property located at 1401 N 26th Ave, Greeley,
Colorado, 80631, in unincorporated Weld County(the"Property"). The Property is zoned(A)
Agricultural.
3. Per the Stipulation, Defendant agreed that the Property was in violation of the Weld
County Code Chapter 23 due to the presence of an unscreened noncommercial junkyard.Weld
County Code Compliance Officer Bethany Pascoe inspected the property on September 13,
2022.As detailed by the testimony of Ms. Pascoe,and as depicted in the photographs admitted
into evidence as Exhibits A and B, the Property still contains a noncommercial junkyard with
derelict vehicles, scrap metal, plastic, and other debris. Ms. Pascoe also testified that at this
time Mr.Mendoza has not obtained a Floodplain Hazard Development Permit which would be
required to screen the junkyard.
4. With the presence of the unscreened derelict vehicles,scrap metal,plastic and other debris,
the Court finds that removal or screening of the noncommercial junkyard by July 15,2022,did
not occur. These are both violations of Weld County Code Chapter 23 and material breaches
of the Stipulation.
5. Defendant agreed to remedy all the violations on the Property as set forth in the
Stipulation but has failed to do so. The Court finds that Plaintiff has proven by a
preponderance of the evidence that the Property is in violation of the Weld County Code and
that Defendant has materially breached the Stipulation.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED:
6. A $25.00 per day penalty is ordered due to the continuing violation, as stipulated by the
parties. The penalty will begin on September 19, 2022, and it will continue until further order
of this Court.
SO ORDERED.
