approximate boundaries at Weld County Road 1 on the west, Weld County Road
15 on the east, Weld County Road 32 on the north and Weld County Road 20 on

PAGE 1 ORD2006-9
C. The Southeast Weld MUD area is approximately five thousand six hundred(5,600)
acres in size. It is located in southern Weld County along the transportation
corridors of Weld County Roads 49 and 22, and is situated to participate in the
County's future share of commercial, industrial and residential growth. The area is
in close proximity to major regional economic generators such as Denver
International Airport and the metropolitan areas of Denver and Greeley.The existing
transportation links of 1-76 and its existing interchanges, and the County's
commitment to Weld County Road 49 to serve as the County's only continuous
north-south highway from Greeley to the south, east of Interstate 25, support the
need to identify this area as an urban corridor. The planning area boundaries are
shown on the Southeast Weld Mixed Use Development Area Structural Land Use
Map, reflected in Appendix 26-R.
Amend Sec. 26-1-30. Amendment Procedure.
Individuals may submit a proposal to amend the MUD Structural Plans in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Section 22-1-150 of this Code. Any applicant submitting a proposal to
amend the 1-25 or Southeast Weld Mixed Use Development Structural Land Use Maps, reflected
in Appendices 26-Q and 26-R, shall also submit a deed or legal instrument to the Department of
Planning Services identifying his or her interest in the property.
Amend Sec. 26-1-60. General development standards.
Recent development and development pressures in the MUD areas have accelerated and
reinforced the need for long-term approaches to planning. This increase in development has
resulted in the creation of development standards to regulate these areas. These development
standards shall apply to all structures and land within the MUD areas as shown on the 1-25 Mixed
Use Development Area 2.1 Land Use Map (See Appendix 26-Q), and the Southeast Weld Mixed
Use Development Area Structural Land Use Map(See Appendix 26-R).These regulations provide
development standards to implement the goals and policies in the Mixed Use Development Section
of Chapter 22 of this Code.
Amend Sec. 26-2-10. Development standards.
A through B - No change.
C. Each structural category consists of distinct and unique qualities and is established
as a matter of policy to guide and implement planned land use development. These
categories are further defined in Section 26-2-20 below and are delineated on the
1-25 Mixed Use Development Area 2.1 Land Use Map, reflected in Appendix 26-Q.
The correlation of the categories to generalized zone districts as defined in Chapter
23 of this Code are outlined in Appendix 26-C. In all cases, Chapters 23, 24, and
27 should be consulted for clarification of specific requirements.

Amend Sec. 26-2-20.E.2 to read as follows:
2. Land designated as having limiting site factors on the 1-25 Mixed Use Development
Area 2.1 Land Use Map, reflected in Appendix26-Q, is primarily defined by the one-
hundred-year floodplain (as defined by FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps),which
comprises approximately four thousand five hundred (4,500) acres, or thirty-eight
percent (38%) of the total designated area in this MUD area. Sites shown with
limiting factors also incorporate other important natural features as well, including
wildlife habitat, mature riparian areas, primary drainage ways and sand and gravel
resources.Therefore, additional land containing limiting site factors is shown along
irrigation canals and ditches and adjacent to lakes. To the maximum extent
practical, development within areas having limiting site factors shall be located to
preserve the natural features of the site,to avoid areas of environmental sensitivity
and to minimize negative impacts and alteration of natural features.
Amend Sec. 26-3-10. Development standards.
Recent activity in the Southeast Weld MUD area has accelerated and reinforced the need
for long-term approaches to planning. This increase in development has resulted in the creation
of development standards to regulate these areas. These development standards shall apply to
all structures and land within the Southeast Weld MUD areas as shown on the Southeast Weld
Mixed Use Development Area Structural Land Use Map, reflected in Appendix 26-R. These
regulations provide development standards to implement the goals and policies in the Mixed Use
Development section of Chapter 22 of this Code.
Amend Sec. 26-3-30. Structural land use categories.
In the Southeast Weld MUD area, land use is grouped into four (4) categories. These
categories are conceptual and not intended or construed to give rise to any vested rights in the
continuation of any particular use,district,zoning classification or any permissible activities therein.
A - No change.
B. Each structural category consists of distinct and unique qualities and is established
as a matter of policy to guide and implement planned land use development.These
categories are further defined in Section 26-2-20 and are delineated on the
Southeast Weld Mixed Use Development Area Structural Land Use Map, reflected
in Appendix 26-R.The correlation of the categories to generalized zone districts as
defined in Chapter 23 of this Code are outlined in Appendix 26-C. In all cases,
Chapters 23, 24 and 27 should be consulted for clarification of specific
requirements.
C - No change.
D. Each structural category consists of distinct and unique qualities and is established
as a matter of policy to guide and implement planned land use development. These
categories are further defined as follows,and are delineated on the Southeast Weld
Mixed Use Development Area Structural Land Use Map,reflected in Appendix 26-R.
The correlation of the categories to generalized zone districts as defined in Chapter
23 of this Code are outlined in Appendix 26-C. In all cases, Chapters 23,24 and 27
should be consulted for clarification of specific requirements.

1 through 3 - No change
4. Limiting Site Factors.
a. Areas comprised of limiting site factors contain certain physical
elements that obstruct, or are hazardous to, certain types of
development. These physical elements include floodplains, critical
wildlife habitat areas,aquifer recharge,riparian areas,topographical
constraints and other similar inhibiting elements. Although these
sites contain factors which limit certain types of development, these
areas are, nevertheless, usable for agricultural production,
recreational activities and parks or other functions that cannot
damage or be damaged by the constraining site factors. These
areas can also enhance the character of this MUD area by providing
corridors for trails and wildlife, and for the protection of natural
resources, riparian habitats and natural features essential to the
identity of this MUD area.
b. Land designated as having limiting site factors on the Southeast
Weld Mixed Use Development Area Structural Land Use Map,
reflected in Appendix 26-R, are primarily defined by the one-
hundred-year floodplain(as defined by FEMA Flood Insurance Rate
Maps). Sites shown with limiting factors also incorporate other
important natural features as well, including wildlife habitat, mature
riparian areas, primary drainage ways and sand and gravel
resources. Therefore, additional land containing limiting site factors
is shown along irrigation canals and ditches and adjacent to lakes.
To the maximum extent practical, development within areas having
limiting site factors shall be located to preserve the natural features
of the site, to avoid areas of environmental sensitivity and to
minimize negative impacts and alteration of natural features.
Amend Sec. 26-3-70.D to read as follows:
D. Circulation System.
1. The proposed MUD circulation system is shown on the Southeast Weld
Mixed Use Development Area Structural Land Use Map, reflected in
Appendix 26-R. The transportation network reflects a hierarchy of roads,
from a major arterial which serves both the regional and local traffic with
higher speeds and capacities with controlled private access, to a collector
which serves local traffic and provides access to future development. The
proposed hierarchy of roads includes both reconstruction and/or widening
of existing roads and alignments for new roads. The transportation network
also identifies locations of future signals.
Remainder of Section - No change.
