RE: ACTION OF THE BOARD CONCERNING CHANGE OF ZONE #547 FROM A
(AGRICULTURAL) ZONE DISTRICT TO PUD (PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT)
ZONE DISTRICT WITH SIX (6) E (ESTATE) ZONED LOTS, ONE (1) A
(AGRICULTURAL) LOT, AND 15.58 ACRES OF COMMON OPEN SPACE -
AFFORDABLE COUNTRY HOMES, LLC
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, pursuant to
Colorado statute and the Weld County Home Rule Charter, is vested with the authority of
administering the affairs of Weld County, Colorado, and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on the 16th day of May, 2001, at 10:00 a.m. for
the purpose of hearing the application of Affordable Country Homes, LLC, c/o Todd Hodges
Design, LLC, 2412 Denby Court, Fort Collins, Colorado 80526, requesting a Change of Zone
from the A (Agricultural) Zone District to a PUD (Planned Unit Development) Zone District for a
parcel of land located on the following described real estate, to-wit:
Lot B of Recorded Exemption #2016; being part of
the SE1/4 of Section 16, Township 6 North, Range
64 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado
WHEREAS, the applicant was represented by Todd Hodges, Todd Hodges Design,
LLC, and
WHEREAS, Section 27-6-120 of the Weld County Code provides standards for review
of said Change of Zone, and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners heard all the testimony and
statements of those present, studied the request of the applicant and the recommendations of
the Weld County Planning Commission and, having been fully informed, finds that this request
shall be denied for the following reasons:
1. Section 27-6-120.5.c - The proposal is not compatible with the existing or future
development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zone district
and with the future development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County
Code. The proposed uses are inconsistent with agricultural uses in the
neighborhood, specifically including a 5,000-head dairy, and
2. Section 27-6-120.5.d - The applicant has not demonstrated that adequate public
water will be available to the site to serve the uses permitted within the proposed
Planned Unit Development in compliance with the Performance Standards in
Section 27-2-10 of the Weld County Code. In addition, there does not appear to
be adequate provisions made for the irrigation and maintenance of the common
open space.

3. Section 27-2-50 Circulation —This performance standard provides that:
"Development within a Planned Unit Development Zone District shall be
designed and constructed to include adequate, safe and convenient
arrangements for pedestrian and vehicular circulation, off-street parking and
loading space. Pedestrian and vehicular circulation shall relate to the circulation
system external to a PUD Zone District." The direct access onto State Highway
392 does not provide a safe and convenient arrangement relating to the external
road. An access onto a County road would provide a more safe and convenient
access.
4. Section 22-2-60.A.2 of the Weld County Code discourages conversion of prime
farmground to non-agriculture related uses. There is evidence that the parcel
has been productive in the past and that a portion has been designated as prime
farmground.
The above and foregoing Resolution was, on motion duly made and seconded, adopted
by the following vote on the 16th day of May, A.D., 2001.
