NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Weld, State of Colorado, that certain existing Chapters of the Weld County Code be, and hereby are, repealed and re-enacted, with amendments, and the various Chapters are revised to read as listed below. CHAPTER 19 COORDINATED PLANNING AGREEMENTS Replace Exhibit 19-C to reflect Urban Growth Boundary areas consistent with the adoption date of this Ordinance. CHAPTER 22 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Add 22-2-55. Cluster PUD. A division of land creating single family residential parcels less than thirty-five (35) acres each pursuant to the Cluster PUD process. A minimum of two-thirds of the total area of the tract shall be reserved for contiguous land preservation. The density of a Cluster PUD shall not exceed two (2) residential units for each thirty-five (35) acres. The Cluster PUD option requires the preservation of land for agricultural purposes, view corridors, or wildlife habitat or critical areas. This preserved land shall not be developed for at least forty (40) years from the date the final plan is approved. 2001-0728 CHAPTER 23 ZONING Add and amend definitions in 23-1-90: Add AGRICULTURAL EXEMPT BUILDING: BUILDINGS or STRUCTURES in the A (Agricultural) Zone District designed and constructed to house farm implements, hay, grain, poultry, LIVESTOCK, or other horticultural products. This structure shall not be a place of human habitation or a place of employment where agricultural products are processed, treated, or packaged, nor shall it be a place used by the public. Add BUILDING ENVELOPE: The two-dimensional space within which a structure(s) is permitted to be built on a lot. Add CLUSTER: A residential development technique that concentrates individual lots on part of the site to allow the remaining land to be used for recreation, common open space, and the preservation of environmentally-sensitive features such as wildlife habitat, riparian zones and agricultural lands. If a CLUSTER development is proposed on agricultural lands, the land shall be currently used or capable of being used for agricultural production such as farming and ranching operations for the next forty (40) years. The intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District as outlined in Chapters 22, 23, 24, and 27 of the Code, including the Right to Farm Covenant, shall be met. A CLUSTER development may be used in URBAN and NON-URBAN AREAS. Add CONSERVATION EASEMENT: The grant of a property right stipulating that the described land will remain in its natural state and preclude future or additional development. The easement removes the development rights to the land, but the landowner still holds the title to the property, the right to restrict public access, and the right to sell, give, or transfer ownership of the property. Add DOUBLE FRONTAGE: A lot that fronts upon two parallel streets, or a lot that fronts upon two streets that do not intersect at the boundaries of the lot. A DOUBLE FRONTAGE LOT is often referred to as a Through Lot, as illustrated below. .L4C1i WT ANYTNO.. �- \ I - Copitamt.. MT.4OR. \ WT WT ,\ • ..cc Lor.• •N 1 IMT.LI..., fr tr Gelman.
