Ms. Lockman,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this Use by Special Review. The City of Greeley reviewed
^ this site plan through its Administrative Review Team(ART)process in March. A copy of the ART
comments and copies of the applicable Development Code standards are attached. These comments were
previously provided to Mr. Mark Kiefer.
As you are aware,this property will be receiving funding from the Greeley Urban Renewal Authority
(GURA),will be receiving City of Greeley water and sewer service, and will be annexed into the City later
• this year. Because of these factors,the City of Greeley is expecting that the building will be built to City of
Greeley standards, including its architectural standards. Your help in ensuring that these standards are
adhered to is appreciated. Please call me at 350-9276 if you have any questions.

❑ New 1. Per FIRM Panel 080266-0628C and Floodway Panel 080266-0004 indicate
this property is within the 100-yr flood plain. Preliminary approval of this project
will not be given until the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)has
revised the existing floodplain maps. To change the existing floodplain and
floodway maps a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR)should be initially
submitted to FEMA to reflect proposed grading changes to the 100-year
floodplain. Once the CLOMR is approved by FEMA and the City of Greeley, the
proposed grading changes can be constructed and a Letter of Map Revision
(LOMR)must be submitted and approved by FEMA with the support of the
community. Once the LOMR is approved, construction of residential housing
may begin. Based on conversations with FEMA, buildings cannot be constructed
in the 100-year floodplain whether you fill the entire lot or just the building pad.
The structures could also include basements after the 100-year floodplain has
been revised even though the elevation of the basement is below the base flood
elevation, as long as the Minimum Opening (MO) elevations are 1-foot above the
100-year floodplain elevation.
2. After the revision to the 100-year floodplain is approved, the requirement for
floodplain insurance will then be dictated by the lending agencies based on the
location of the property and the revised 100-year floodplain. Some lending
agencies may still require floodplain insurance if only a portion of the lot is within
the 100-year floodplain, even though the building pad is not within the 100-year
floodplain. Please be advised this process can take up to 2 years.
3. Ponds with berms will not be allowed within the 100-yr flood plain. Ponds that
have dished out areas will be acceptable.

Subject: Weld Food Bank Project
The proposed Weld Food Bank project is located within a moderate impact zone as shown on the Areas
of Ecological Significance map. However, due to the exact location of the site, I have determined that a
Biologist's Report will not be needed as I see no further impacts on the area than currently exist.

multifamily, commercial, and institutional land uses in new developments, in addition to all
other applicable provisions of Chapter 18.40. These standards shall also apply to the C-H
(Commercial-High Intensity) and I-L (Industrial-Low Intensity) districts, except when waived by
the Planning Commission. Such waivers shall be considered when the proposed building or
structure is located internal to the site and not visible from an adjacent public right-of-way, is
not adjacent to residential uses or zones where residential uses are permitted, and where the
proposed architecture better fits with the surrounding area. These standards shall also apply
to the I-M (Industrial-Medium Intensity) and I-H (Industrial-High Intensity) districts, except when
waived by the Community Development Director, where the sides of a building or structure
are not visible from the adjacent public right-of-way, nor visible from adjacent properties
zoned other than I-M or I-H. Properties adjacent to CD- (Conservation District-) and H-A-
(Holding-Agriculture-,) zoned properties are required to comply with these standards. For the
r
City of Greeley Development Code Chapter 18.40- Page 9 January 1,2003
Chapter 18.40 - General Performance Standards 18.40.090
purposes of this section, a side of a building or structure facing a public right-of-way shall be
considered visible regardless of landscaping which may be located between the differing land
uses or the right-of-way.
1. Building design shall contribute to the special or unique characteristics of an area
and/or development through the use of predominant building massing and scale,
building materials, architectural elements, and color pallette. Where there is no
established or consistent neighborhood or area character or unifying theme, or where
the existing character is not desirable to continue because it does not reflect a design
theme consistent with the architectural standards as described in this chapter,the
proposed development shall be designed to establish an attractive image and set a
standard of quality for future developments and buildings within the area to follow.
Greater attention to design shall be required in areas of high visibility, such as along
community entryways and arterial and major collector roadways and in special
character districts. Design of such areas must be consistent with adopted entryway
and special area plans on file in the Community Development Department. Where a
portion of a building is visible from the adjacent public right-of-way or an adjacent
property, the architectural treatment shall be extended around the visible portions of
the building to the extent that an architecturally finished appearance consistent with
these standards is achieved.
2. The design of buildings shall avoid the appearance of a single, large, dominant
building mass by using design techniques that include stepping back portions of the
building facade, breaking up the mass into smaller elements, and/or using material
changes. For building facades or walls which face public rights-of-way or adjacent
properties and are in excess of one hundred feet (100') in length, as measured
horizontally, a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the length of the facade or wall
shall project or recess at a minimum depth equal to three percent (3%) of the length
of the facade or wall, or screening of at least fifty percent (50%) of the wall area may
be provided as an alternative using any required buffering to meet this provision.
3. Developments with multiple buildings shall include predominant characteristics in
each building so that the buildings within the development appear to be part of a
cohesive, planned area, yet are not monotonous in design. Predominant
characteristics may include use of the same or similar architectural style, materials,
and colors. If dissimilar materials are proposed, then an evaluation shall be made to
determine if site design, building scale, form, color, landscaping, etc., can be used to
make the building compatible with its surroundings.
4. Wall mass shall be proportionate to the area the wall is intended to carry or occupy
and shall be designed to avoid blank wall expanses. Openings, such as windows
and doorways, shall create a sense of continuity and rhythm to a building design.
Openings or architectural elements simulating fenestration-like features shall occupy
at least twenty percent(20%) of the wall surface area of the first floor of the front
facade and walls adjacent to public rights-of-way or visible from adjacent properties.
City of Greeley Development Code Chapter 18.40- Page 10 January 1,2003
Chapter 18.40 - General Performance Standards 18.40.090
5. Primary public building entrances shall be clearly defined and recessed or projected
or framed by elements such as awnings, arcades, or porticos.
6. Colors shall be used to blend buildings into an area and to unify elements of a
development. Color should be drawn from the surrounding area and, if in a newly
developing area, shall be selected to establish an attractive image and set a standard
of quality for future developments and buildings within the area. Monotonous or
monochromatic color palettes are strongly discouraged. Accent colors, used to call
attention to a particular feature or portion of a building or to form a particular
pattern, shall be compatible with predominant building base colors and may be
incorporated using such elements as shutters, window mullions, building trim, and
awnings. Accent colors shall cover no more than five percent (5%) of a building
facade. Changes in the building base color should occur at a change of building
plane.
7. Where the proposed architecture of a building or structure is the result of a franchise
style, prototypical or franchise architectural design, including materials and color,
shall be modified if necessary to meet these architectural review standards and set a
standard or contribute to a high level of quality for future developments and buildings
within the area. Illumination outlining a building or translucent awnings intended to
function as signage shall not be permitted as part of a building design.
8. Reflective materials,such as reflective, mirrored, tinted, or frosted glass with an
opacity of less than twenty percent (20%), as determined by the glass manufacturer,
shall not be permitted, except on the upper floors of commercial structures and
industrial employment campuses, and where the area is not intended as an area of
pedestrian activity. Where reflective materials are proposed, the City may require the
applicant to provide information that can be used to evaluate whether the use of such
materials will create a safety hazard for drivers on area streets.
9. Required primary exterior building materials shall be brick, stone, integrally tinted and
textured masonry block, precast concrete, wood, natural and synthetic stone, stucco
and synthetic stucco, and glazing. A minimum of seventy-five percent (75%) of all
exterior building walls shall be covered with required primary building materials or
other materials approved by the Community Development Director or designee.
Metal shall not be used as a primary exterior building material except in the I-M
(Industrial-Medium Intensity) and I-H (Industrial-High Intensity) zones. Where such
buildings in the I-M and I-H zones are visible from an adjacent collector, arterial, or
parkway arterial, or are visible from an adjacent nonindustrial use or zone, at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of the exterior of the building walls that are visible from the
public right-of-way or adjacent use or zone shall be covered with other acceptable
primary exterior building materials and shall have the applicable buffer yard installed
between the building and public rights-of-way. Metal, including corrugated metal,
may be used as an accent material on the primary facade of any commercial or
industrial building as long as the amount used does not exceed twenty percent (20%)
of the area of the primary facade, exclusive of the roof, and it is painted to match or
City of Greeley Development Code Chapter 18.40- Page 11 January 1, 2003
Chapter 18.40 - General Performance Standards 18.40.090
complement the building color scheme. Otherwise, buildings of non-architectural
metals shall be covered with a veneer that is compatible with other area building
exterior finishes. Architectural metals, such as bronze, brass, copper, and wrought
iron, may be used on the primary facade of any building and may exceed twenty
percent(20%) of the area of the primary facade. Other materials may be evaluated
for use as primary or accent materials by the Community Development Director or
designee to determine whether the proposed materials are equal or superior to the
required primary building materials and permissible for use. Changes in materials
should occur at a change of building plane.
10. All buildings shall be designed and maintained using the following building elements,
with a minimum of one (1) selected from four (4) of the five (5) groupings below:
a. Group 1 - Exterior Wall Articulation:
(1) Changes in building plane or articulation (recesses, projections)
spaced proportionately around the building. Exterior walls with

face. If one (1) or more of the principal structures on the block face is
greater than thirty feet (30') in height, the maximum height of an
addition shall be limited to the average height of the existing principal
structures on the block face.
(2) The maximum length and width of an addition shall be limited to one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the average length and width of
perimeter walls of the existing principal structures on the block face. If
the subject block face is vacant, or if the street separating two (2)
block faces which are opposite from one another is a local street or
minor collector, the block face on the opposite side of the street shall
also be used to determine average height and wall length of an
addition. Such additions and the point of attachment thereof shall
constitute a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the circumference of
the exterior walls of the addition.
b. Additions to Commercial and Industrial Buildings:
(1) Additions to commercial and industrial buildings shall be limited to
the maximum height permitted in the particular zoning district and
shall not be required to have a minimum point of attachment.
9. Accessory buildings and structures which require a building permit shall be designed

feet (20') in height within fifty feet (50') of any
residential zoning district, except as provided in
Section 18.40.110.A.4. In all other locations
freestanding light fixtures shall not exceed thirty
feet (30') or the height of the principal building, ifjilt
one exists, whichever is less. The style and
materials of light standards and fixtures shall be d ,
compatible with the architectural character and
materials of buildings on the site. For the
purposes of this section, the height of the freestanding light fixtures shall be
determined by measuring from the adjacent grade at the base of the support to the
top of the light fixture.
4. Building-mounted light fixtures shall not be attached to a roof, and in no event shall
the light fixture be mounted at a height exceeding thirty feet (30') above grade as
measured at the base of the subject building. The use of lighting fixtures that are

the required plant materials as provided for the in the Credit for Existing Trees table in
Section 18.44.050.A.5.b. When existing trees are located in only a part of the buffer
yard, the number of trees or shrubs required may be reduced in proportion to the
percentage of the area of the buffer yard occupied by existing trees.
5. If a newly developing property is adjacent to a vacant property of a different zone,
then, as a minimum standard, Buffer Yard Type A shall be required of the newly
developing property until the adjacent property is developed, at which time the
developer of the adjacent vacant property shall be responsible for providing any
remaining portion of required buffer yard, based on the intensity levels of the land
uses. Refer to Charts 1-3 for further information.
6. If a newly developing property is adjacent to a lot that is developed, that portion of
the buffer yard which has not previously been provided on the developed lot shall be
required of the newly developing property.

COLORADO SUBJECT: USR-1424, Weld County
The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal; this project falls primarily under the
purview of the Use by Special Review Standards, Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article II, Division 4, Section
23. Our comments and requirements are as follows:
COMMENTS:
Access: The existing access point will be shared with the Weld County Training Center for the proposed food
warehouse from "H" Street. The secondary access identified in the plat drawing is also a shared access with
the Weld Mining Division/temporary city storage facility. This access point and road is a part of the County's
USR permitted haul route.
'The east access from the Weld County Training Center needs to be incorporated into the existing paved
parking lot area. The north access point needs to be incorporated into the existing asphalt haul road with
adequate turning radius. The access shall be paved from the entrance east of"H" Street.
Circulation: With the layout of the proposed food warehouse, there is only one way that the large truck
loading area can be utilized. The larger trucks will have to enter through the training center parking lot in order
to back up to the loading dock. If the trucks enter from the northern access point with the configuration of the
parking islands and stripped parking lot, turning radiuses throughout the parking lot would not accommodate
direct access at this location. The other option is from the northern access point. The trucks would have to
back 250 feet through a parking lot to the large truck loading area. This situation is not unusual, but not the .
best situation.
Storm Water Drainage: The historical flow patterns and run-off amounts will be maintained on site in such a
manner that will reasonably preserve the natural character of the area and prevent property damage of the
type generally attributed to the run-off rate and velocity increases, diversions, concentration and/or unplanned
ponding of storm run-off.
