RESOLUTION OF RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Moved by Bryant Gimlin that the following resolution be introduced for passage by the Weld County Planning
Commission. Be it resolved by the Weld County Planning Commission that the application for:
CASE NUMBER: Town of Mead IGA •
•
APPLICANT: Town of Mead
PLANNER: Anne Best Johnson
•
REQUEST: An Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Mead and Weld County.
be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners for the following reasons:
It is the Planning Commission's recommendation that the above mentioned Intergovernmental Agreement
meets the intent of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan as follows:
1. Comprehensive Plan UGB.Goal 1 states that Weld County will encourage and assist each
municipality in establishing an intergovernmental urban growth boundary agreement. The following
UGB.Policy 1 states, Weld County recognizes that municipalities can and should plan their own
futures in terms of the nature and rate of growth.
The Town of Mead has worked with Weld County in establishing this proposed Intergovernmental Agreement.
Through this agreement, the Town of Mead has indicated their interest in planning for responsible growth.
The Town of Mead is assisting the Department of Planning Services in conducting land-use research in the
proposed Urban Growth Boundary Area. A direct outcome of a commitment to conserve natural and managed
resources while directing growth and enhancing economic development through efficient use of infrastructure.
(Comprehensive Plan, page 3-1).
2. Comprehensive Plan UGB.Goal 2 and UGB.Policy 2 indicate that Urban development shall
be concentrated in or adjacent to urban growth boundary areas that provide an official designation
between future urban and non-urban uses. These boundaries shall be established through an
intergovernmental agreement between the municipality and the County.
The Town of Mead has delineated their Urban Growth Boundary on the attached map. Through this
Intergovernmental Agreement, the Town of Mead has specified the future growth of their community. Further,
it is noted that Weld County recognizes that it is appropriate for its municipalities to plan for growth at their
current boundaries and in the surrounding areas. (Comprehensive Plan, page 3-1).
3. Comprehensive Plan UGB.Goal 3 states that the County and municipalities should coordinate
land use planning in urban growth boundary areas, including development policies and standards,
zoning, street and highway construction, open space, public infrastructure and other matters affecting
orderly development.
Through this Intergovernmental Agreement with the Town of Mead, these principles will be met. The county
recognizes that an intergovernmental urban growth boundary agreement is by far the best tool for
coordinating development for municipal/county interface. (Page 3-1, Comprehensive Plan.) It is further noted
that the County Commissioners imparted the following criteria to guide the municipalities in developing their
urban growth boundaries. These guidelines are the impetus for many communities it establishing an
Intergovernmental Agreement with Weld County:
2000-2358

1. Growth should pay for itself in terms of initial costs, and in the long range, .hrough good
design and functional efficiency.
2. Annexation patterns should directly correlate with municipal service areas.
3. Infill of communities is a far more efficient use of land than urban sprawl.
As outlined on pages 3-1 and 3-2 of the Comprehensive Plan, the county recognizes that when growth at the
municipal/county level is not coordinated, problems arise. Additionally, when a municipality and the County
enter into an Urban Growth Boundary agreement, the County agrees to abide by the municipality's vision for
future development in the area. Likewise, the municipality agrees to limit its expansion to the defined areas
where it plans to provide municipal services. It is understood that urban growth is an ongoing process and
Urban Growth Boundary agreements will be subject to revision as needed.
4. The county recognizes that through intergovernmental agreements the municipality agrees
to limit its expansion to the defined areas where it plans to provide municipal services, therefore,
participating in responsible growth.
It is this belief that Weld County and the Town of Mead desire to enter into this Intergovernmental Agreement.
The purpose of this Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Mead and Weld County is to establish
procedures and standards pursuant to which the parties will move toward greater coordination in the exercise
of their land use and related regulatory powers within unincorporated areas surrounding each municipality.
The community of Mead exercises governmental authority over the same matter within its boundaries;
including annexations.
The premise for this Intergovernmental Agreement is similar to the agreement for the seven previous
agreements this board has approved. Customized modifications include the following:
1. Section 3.3 (a) The last sentence was modified to include, "The County will not consider such
proposal for Development unless the applicant or its predecessor has submitted a complete
annexation petition and been denied said annexation by the municipality Board or electorate for a
substantially similar development on the same property within the preceding 12 months." This was
added to strengthen the coordination in planning between the community's future growth and the
development process in the county.
2. Section 3.5 (iii)was removed. This subsection was eliminated because it was redurdant to previous
subsections and often provided confusion in Section 3.5. "That the MUNICIPALITY's anticipated
zoning classification of the property is unreasonable because of existing or planned uses of adjacent
property."
It is the opinion of the Planning Commission and at the direction of the County Attorney that this
Intergovernmental Agreement be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with favorable
recommendation.
This recommendation is based, in part, upon a review of the application materials submitted by the applicant,
other relevant. information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.
Motion seconded by Stephen Mokray.

made to the Urban Growth Boundary at the request of specific property owners, some of which wanted to be
included in the area.
Arlan Marrs commented that he wished Mead had been the first IGA to be presented, that they have done a
great job and would have presented an excellent precedence for other towns. Fred Walker asked about the
time line for the town to hear an application, that the town should schedule these applications as soon as
possible.

Fred Walker commented that Hell doeth froze over with his vote of yes on this IGA.
CASE NUMBER: Milliken IGA
APPLICANT: Town of Milliken
PLANNER: Anne Best Johnson
REQUEST: An Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Milliken and Weld County.

to answer some questions about the IGA process. The members of the Planning Commission felt this is a
more appropriate and detailed picture for the individual IGA.
Cristie Nickles moved that the Intergovernmental Growth Agreement for Milliken be continued until April 4,
2000. Stephen Mokray seconded the motion.

SUBJECT: Intergovernmental Agreement for Mead and
Weld County
Since 1995, Weld County has been working with communities in establishing Intergovernmental
Agreements. For your consideration, the Mead and Weld County agreement has been prepared.
It is the Department of Planning Services recommendation that the above mentioned
Intergovernmental Agreement meets the intent of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan as follows

2.1 Development. Any land use requiring regulatory approval by the elected
governing body of the applicable party in the Urban Growth Area except for an amendment
to a plat or a down-zoning, neither of which creates any additional lots and except for a
Recorded Exemption or Subdivision Exemption. Existing agricultural uses,which are lawful
uses, either as uses by right under the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended, or as
legally existing non-conforming uses, are also exempt from the definition of"Development".
2.2 Non-Urban Development. Land uses which typically do not require services
such as central water and sewer systems, road networks, park and recreation services,
storm drainage, and the like, and which are generally considered to be rural in nature,
expressly including land used or capable of being used for agricultural production and
including developments which combine clustered residential uses and agricultural uses in
a manner that the agricultural lands are suitable for farming and ranching operations;for the
next forty years.
2.3 MUNICIPAL Referral Area. The area located outside of but within three
miles of the MUNICIPALITY's municipal boundaries.
2.4 Urban Development. Development which is characterized by development
density typical to urbanized areas and requires support services such as central water and
sewer systems, road networks, park and recreation facilities and programs, storm drainage,
and other similar services which are typically furnished by MUNICIPALITY.
2.5 The Urban Growth Area is hereby established and shall consist of all lands
so designated on the map attached hereto and referred to herein as "Exhibit A,"
EXCEPTING those lands located within the MUNICIPALITY's municipal boundaries.
3. PLANNING COORDINATION. This Agreement is intended to be a Comprehensive
Development Plan adopted and implemented pursuant to C. R.S § 29-20-105(2). Following the
execution of this Agreement by both parties, COUNTY Development approvals in the
MUNICIPALITY's Referral area will be processed and determined in accordance with the following:
3.1 Referral. The COUNTY will refer all proposals for Development within the
MUNICIPAL Referral Area to the MUNICIPALITY for its review and recommendation. Such
referral will include at least a copy of the written Development proposal and preliminary
COUNTY staff summary of the case. The COUNTY will allow not less than twenty-cne (21)
1) days for the MUNICIPALITY to review same and furnish its recommendations to
COUNTY staff prior to formulation of the COUNTY staff recommendation. If the
MUNICIPALITY does not respond within such time, COUNTY staff may proceed with its
recommendation, but any MUNICIPALITY comment or recommendation received on or
before the Thursday next preceding the meeting of the Board of County Commissicners or
Planning Commission at which the matter will be considered will be transmitted to the Board
or Commission. If the MUNICIPALITY submits no comment or recommencaton the
COUNTY may assume it has no objection to the proposal If the MUNICIPALITY submits
recommendations, the COUNTY will either include within its written decision the reasons
for any action taken contrary to the same or furnish such reasons to the MUNICIPAL ITV
by a separate writing.
2
3.2 Development Outside Urban Growth Area. To the extent legally possible
the COUNTY will disapprove proposals for Urban Development in areas of the MUNICIPAL
Referral Area outside the Urban Growth Area. In reviewing proposals for Non-Urban
Development in such areas, the COUNTY will apply its Comprehensive Ran and zoning
and subdivision ordinances, and, where appropriate, the MUD Plan.
3.3 Development in Urban Growth Area. The following shall apply to
proposed Development in the Urban Growth Area:
(a) Upon receipt of any proposal for Development of property then
currently eligible for voluntary annexation to the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY will,
in writing, notify the proponent of the opportunity for annexation and notify the
MUNICIPALITY of the proposal. The COUNTY will not consider such proposal for
Development unless the applicant or its predecessor has submitted a complete
annexation petition and been denied said annexation by the MUNICIPALITY Board
or electorate for a substantially similar development on the same property within the
preceding 12 months.
(b) The MUNICIPALITY will require extension of sanitary sewer service
to property in the Urban Growth Area, subject to its rules and regulations, which
include provisions requiring a written contract for extraterritorial service aid the
construction of new mains and other facilities necessary to serve the property with
costs assessed in accordance with the MUNICIPALITY'S rules and regulations.
MUNICIPALITY agrees to give notice of any proposed change in said rules and
regulations to COUNTY 21 days prior to adoption.
(c) If The MUNICIPALITY provides municipal water service to properly
within its boundaries, subject to its rules and regulations, it will provide water under
provisions similar to those indicated above for sewer service.Where water furnished
by the MUNICIPALITY is received in whole or in part from an outside water provider
such as a water district under a Water Service Agreement dated January 1. 1985,
the MUNICIPALITY shall exercise its obligations under this agreement consistent
with the terms of the Water Service Agreement. The MUNICIPALITY will negotiate
in good faith with the water provider to explore ways in which the extension of water
service outside MUNICIPALITY boundaries can be coordinated so as to achieve the
purposes stated in Section 1 above while still recognizing the rights and obligations
of the water provider and its constituents.
(d) In recognition of the availability of public water and sewer service
within the Urban Growth Area as indicated in paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the
COUNTY will require public water and sewer service as a condition of approval of
any subdivision, rezoning or planned unit development and will not approve such
Development until the applicant obtains a written contract for same w th the
MUNICIPALITY, or water service from Little Thompson Water District if the
MUNICIPALITY cannot provide water. This Agreement shall be prima facie
evidence of the availability of municipal water and sewer service within the meaning
of§ 32-1-203(2.5)(a), C.R.S.
(e) The COUNTY will not grant any waiver of current Municipal street
standards for any Development without the consent of the MUNICIPALITY
(f) To the extent legally possible, as determined by the COUNTY, the
COUNTY will deny proposals for Non-Urban Development in the Llrban Growth
3
Area. Nothing in this subsection shall restrict the COUNTY from approv ng. by
means of a process such as recorded exemption or subdivision exemption, the
isolated partition or division of ownership parcels located in the Urban Growth Area
having existing residential improvements served by septic systems, regardless of
the size of resulting lots. Nevertheless, the COUNTY will not permit such a
concentration of such divisions in any particular area as will frustrate or materially
hinder the evolution of genuine Urban Development, as defined in § 2.4 of this
Agreement, in the Urban Growth Area. Furthermore, the County shall not be
restricted from allowing the expansion of legally existing non-urban uses provided
adequate protection for future urban uses is included in any such approval
(g) If any MUNICIPALITY recommendation of disapproval of a
Development proposal is based upon a conflict or incompatibility between proposed
uses in the Development and anticipated MUNICIPALITY zoning classification for
the property,the COUNTY will not approve same unless the applicant demonstrates
(1) that no such conflict or incompatibility will reasonably occur, (ii) that suitable
mitigation measures to be imposed by the COUNTY as conditions of approval will
eliminate or adequately mitigate adverse consequences of incompatibility or conflict,
or (iii) that the MUNICIPALITY'S anticipated zoning classification of the property is
unreasonable because of existing or planned uses of adjacent property. The
MUNICIPALITY shall be given notice of, and may appear and be heard at any
hearing or other proceeding at which the COUNTY will consider such issues.
(h) The parties anticipate that ¶ 3.3 (e)-(g) will be addressed in more
detail if a Mutually Acceptable Plan is considered and adopted for the UGA or the
referral Area.
3.4 Mutuality of Impact Consideration. The parties recognize that decisions
by one party regarding development may impact property outside of each particAar
jurisdiction. The parties agree that those jurisdictional boundaries will not be the basis for
giving any greater or lesser weight to those impacts during the course of deliberat ons.
3.5 Referrals to County. The MUNICIPALITY will refer proposals for
Development which lie within 500 feet of any property in unincorporated Weld County to the
COUNTY for its review and recommendation. Such referral will include at least a copy of
the written Development proposal. The MUNICIPALITY will allow not less than twenty-one
(21) days for the COUNTY to review same and furnish its recommendations to
MUNICIPALITY. If the COUNTY submits no comment or recommendation the
MUNICIPALITY may assume it has no *objection to the proposal. If the COUNTY subrmts
recommendations, the MUNICIPALITY will either include within its written decis on the
reasons for any action taken contrary to the same or furnish such reasons to the COUNTY
by a separate writing. Where the DEVELOPMENT is proposed as part of an annexation of
more than 10 acres, the provisions of this section shall be deemed satisfied by corn oliance
by the MUNICIPALITY with the Notice and impact statement provisions of the most current
version of the Municipal Annexation Act then in effect. If any COUNTY recommendation of
disapproval of a Development proposal within 500 feet of any property in unincorporated
Weld County is based upon a conflict or incompatibility between proposed uses in the
Development and existing or anticipated zoning classification for the property, to the extent
legally possible the MUNICIPALITY will not approve same unless the applicant
demonstrates (1) that no such conflict or incompatibility will reasonably occur, or (ii) that
suitable mitigation measures to be imposed by the MUNICIPALITY as condit ons of
approval will eliminate or adequately mitigate adverse consequences of ircompatibility or
conflict. The COUNTY shall be given notice of, and may aopear and be heard at any
4
hearing or other proceeding at which the MUNICIPALITY will consider such issues.
4. ANNEXATION.
4.1 The MUNICIPALITY will give serious consideration to all petitions for
annexation of lands within the Urban Growth Area and will consider, in any determination
to annex such properties, without limitation, the following factors: (i) the extension of one
or more municipal services to the area would place an unreasonable economic burden on
the existing users of such services or upon the future residents or owners of properly it the
area itself; (ii)the area is not reasonably contiguous in fact to the MUNICIPALITY's existing
boundaries, and its annexation would result in disconnected municipal satellites.
4.2 The MUNICIPALITY will not annex properties located outside the Urban
Growth Area unless such property is both eligible for annexation and is necessary to the
MUNICIPALITY for municipal purposes such as utilities.
4.3 To the extent legally possible the MUNICIPALITY will annex the full width of
each COUNTY road right of way contiguous to newly annexed property unless such road
serves primarily COUNTY properties rather than existing or newly annexed Municipal
properties, in which case the MUNICIPALITY will annex none of such COUNTY road right
of way.
4.4 Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the MUNICIPALITY is
not obligated to annex any property within a Development approved by the County after the
execution of this Agreement by both parties which does not conform to the County Urban
Growth Standards, unless a waiver or modification of such standards was grantee by the
COUNTY and approved by the MUNICIPALITY.
4.5 Nothing in this Section 4 shall be construed to limit the MUNICIPALITY from
annexing any land within the Urban Growth Area, regardless whether such annexations are
involuntary or result in disconnected municipal satellites.
4.6 In determining off-site improvements to be constructed by proponents of in
MUNICIPALITY Development, the MUNICIPALITY will consider identifiable impacts on the
COUNTY road system resulting from such Development on the same basis as in
MUNICIPALITY impacts.
5. IMPLEMENTATION OF AGREEMENT. Following the mutual execution of this
Agreement each party will promptly enact and implement such amendments to its existing
regulations as may be necessary to give effect to the provisions of Sections 3, and 4. Each party
shall have sole and exclusive discretion to determine such measures and any new ones enabling
it to perform this Agreement. Each party's land use regulations as referred to herein are ordinances
whose amendment requires certain formalities, including notice and public hearings. The mutual
covenants in this section and elsewhere to implement this Agreement promptly are given and
received with mutual recognition and understanding of the legislative processes involved, and such
covenants will be liberally construed in light thereof.
6. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
6.1 Severability. Should any one or more sections or paragraphs of this
Agreement be judicially determined invalid or unenforceable, suchjudgmen:shall nor affect,
impair or invalidate the remaining provisions of this Agreement, the intenticn being shat the
various sections and paragraphs are severable; provided, however, that the
5
parties shall then review the remaining provisions to determine if the Agreement should
continue, as modified, or if the Agreement should be terminated.
6.2 Enforcement. Either party may seek specific performance or enforcement
of this Agreement in a Court of competent jurisdiction, but neither party shall have any claim
or remedy for damages arising from an alleged breach hereof against the other, not shall
this agreement confer on either part standing to contest a land use decision or actor of the
other except as a breach of this agreement. This agreement is not intended to rriocify the
standing the parties may possess independent of this agreement. This Agreement is
between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY and no third party rights or beneficiaries
exist or are created hereby.
6.3 Termination.This Agreement will continue in effect until June 30, 2002.The
parties shall review the Agreement in June, 2002, and in June of each succeeding year to
determine if the Agreement should continue in effect for the period of a year thereafter. The
parties may terminate this Agreement at any time if a mutually acceptable Comprehensive
Land Use Plan for the MUNICIPALITY referral area or growth area is developed and
implemented by both parties
6.4 Amendment. Upon the request of either party, this Agreement shall be

RE: Suggested Modification to Proposed
Coordinated Planning Agreement
Dear Mayor Goshia:
On March 21, 2000, the Weld County Planning Commission considered Weld County Ordinance 215.
which puts in ordinance form the proposed Coordinated Planning Agreement between the Town of Mad
and the County of Weld. Chair Fred Walker inquired as to whether the neti language requiring the
applicant to first petition for annexation could be modified so as to put a time limit on how long Mead
may consider the annexation once a complete petition is received. It was my opinion then and now, that
Fred's question is a good one. To that end, I asked Assistant Weld County Attorney Lee Morrison to
draft language to create such a time restriction
I have enclosed with this letter a copy of Lee's suggested language. It is an addition to Section 3.3(a) of
the Agreement and is shown by grey highlight.
I respectfully request that the Town consider the language and let me know if it is acceptable. The
second reading of Ordinance 215 is set for Monday,May 1, 2000, but such change does not have to b_
made until the third reading, which is set for May 22, 2000.
Please feel free to call me at(970) 356-4000, extension 4390, if you should have any questions regarding
this letter or the enclosed.
Sincerely,
Bruce T. Barker
Weld County Attorney

3.2 Development Outside Urban Growth Area. To the extent legally possible
the COUNTY will disapprove proposals for Urban Development in areas of the MUNICIPAL
Referral Area outside the Urban Growth Area. In reviewing proposals for Non-Urban
Development in such areas, the COUNTY will apply its Comprehensive Plan and zoning
and subdivision ordinances, and, where appropriate, the MUD Plan.
3.3 Development in Urban Growth Area. The following shall apply to
proposed Development in the Urban Growth Area:
(a) Upon receipt of any proposal for Development of property then
currently eligible for voluntary annexation to the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY will,
in writing, notify the proponent of the opportunity for annexation and notify the
MUNICIPALITY of the proposal. The COUNTY will not consider such proposal for
Development unless the applicant or its predecessor has submitted a complete
annexation petition and been denied said annexation by the MUNICIPALITY Board
or electorate for a substantially similar development on the same property within the
preceding 12 months. The COUNTY may consider such a proposal!if,after a period
of six months, the MUNICIPALITY has failed to act on a complete annexation
petition filed and pursued in good faith by the applicant or its predecessor.
(b) The MUNICIPALITY will require extension of sanitary sewer service
to property in the Urban Growth Area, subject to its rules and regulations, whicn
include provisions requiring a written contract for extraterritorial service and the
construction of new mains and other facilities necessary to serve the property witn
costs assessed in accordance with the MUNICIPALITY'S rules and regulations.
MUNICIPALITY agrees to give notice of any proposed change in said rules and
regulations to COUNTY 21 days prior to adoption.
(c) If The MUNICIPALITY provides municipal water service to property
within its boundaries, subject to its rules and regulations, it will provide water under
provisions similar to those indicated above for sewer service. Where water
furnished by the MUNICIPALITY is received in whole or in part from an outside
water provider such as a water district under a Water Service Agreement dated
. the MUNICIPALITY shall exercise its obligations under this
agreement consistent with the terms of the Water Service Agreement, The
MUNICIPALITY will negotiate in good faith with the water provider to explore ways
in which the extension of water service outside MUNICIPALITY boundaries can be
coordinated so as to achieve the purposes stated in Section 1 above while still
recognizing the rights and obligations of the water provider and its constituen's.
(d) In recognition of the availability of public water and sewer service
within the Urban Growth Area as indicated in paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the
COUNTY will require public water and sewer service as a condition of approval of
any subdivision, rezoning or planned unit development and will not approve such
Development until the applicant obtains a written contract for same with the
MUNICIPALITY, or water service from _ , it the
MUNICIPALITY cannot provide water. This Agreement shall be prima facie
evidence of the availability of municipal water and sewer service within the meaning
of§32-1-203(2.5)(a), C.R.S.
(e) The COUNTY will not grant any waiver of current Municipal street
standards for any Development without the consent of the MUNICIPALITY

Re: The Town of Mead/'Weld County
Coordinated Planning Agreement •

Dear Bruce: •
I am in receipt of your letter dated April 28, 2000 to Mayor Goshia. In revierying the most
extreme timeline for an annexation,I believe seven months would be the outside time period.
A hearing is normally held on a Petition within 60 days after the date of the Resolution of
Intent to Annex. The local requirement for an annexation election could be as long as 90 day
depending if there is a regularly scheduled or general election. After the election, Mei Town Boargl
must adopt an'ordinance annexing the property, and, depending on the date of theelection, ,that
could be 30 days out. Finally, an ordinance is effective 30 days after the date of pubhcattor�.
Adding up these days, a seven month time frame at the outside seems more appropriate than the sic
i
months proposed in the Agreement. i
i
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
