Chester APPLICANT: Al Challenger ADDRESS: P.O. Box 448, Evergreen, CO 80437 REQUEST: Planned Unit Development Change of Zone to create five residential lots and Open Space including a Conservation Easement for a Heron Rookery LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the NW4 and N2/SW4 of Section 29, T5N, R67W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado LOCATION: West of and adjacent to WCR 15 %2, approximately 1/4 mile south of WCR 54 ACRES: 54 acres PARCEL # 0957-29-000017 THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES'STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1. The submitted materials are in compliance with Section 6.4.3 of the Weld County Planned Unit Development Ordinance #197 as follows: A. Section 6.4.4.6.1 That the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, MUD Ordinance if applicable, any Intergovernmental Agreement in effect influencing the PUD, and the Weld County Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. A.Goal 1 states "Preserve prime farmland for agricultural purposes which fosters economic health and continuance of agriculture." The subject property is categorized as "other lands" by the U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation map. A.Policy 7 states "Weld County recognizes the right to farm". In order to validate this recognition Weld County's Right to Farm has been established which shall be incorporated on all pertinent land use plats." The Department of Planning Services will require Weld County's Right to Farm to appear on the recorded plat. B. Section 6.4.4.6.2 That the USES which would be allowed in the proposed PUD will conform with the Performance Standards of the PUD Zone District contained in Section 2 of this Ordinance. Department of Planning Services'staff has determined that the submitted application does comply with the 20 standards described in Z-553,Challenger PUD,Page 2 Service,Teamwork, Integrity,Quality Section 2 of the PUD Ordinance, Ordinance#197, except for Section 2.5, Common Open Space. Section 2.5 states, "Common open space in the PUD Zone District shall be owned and maintained in perpetuity by an organization established specifically for such ownership and maintenance purposes." Currently, the applicant is proposing the owner of Lot 1-A shall own the open space lots, Lot 1-B and Lot 1-C. Although the open space is visually and aesthetically pleasing, private ownership of the open space lots does not meet the intent of Section 2.5. C. Section 6.4.4.6.3 That the uses which would be permitted will be compatible with the existing or future development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing Zoning, and with the future development as projected by the Comprehensive Plan or Master Plan of affected municipalities. The proposed site does not lie within an urban growth area, nor is the applicant proposing an urban scale development. The Towns of Milliken and Johnstown are both within the three mile referral area of this proposal. The Town of Milliken responded that this proposal did not conflict with their interests and the Town of Johnstown responded that the proposal did not comply with their Comprehensive Plan. Their referral stated that they were opposed to development that created enclaves in the area of urban growth until an Intergovernmental Agreement(IGA)is in place. Weld County does have an IGA with the Town of Milliken, but not the Town of Johnstown, at this time. D. Section 6.4.4.6.4 That the PUD Zone District shall be serviced by an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system in compliance with the Performance Standards in Section 2 of this Ordinance. Domestic water and water for fire protection shall be provided by Little Thompson Water District. The State of Colorado, Division of Water Resources has indicated in their referral response dated October 13, 2000 that the water district has submitted sufficient evidence documenting water can be made available and is an adequate supply for this development. Each lot for the proposed PUD subdivision shall have an Individual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) installed per the Weld County Department of Public Health and the Environment requirements and specifications. Conditions of Approval and Notes on the plat ensure that water and sewer issues have been adequately addressed. E. Section 6.4.4.6.5 That street or highway facilities providing access to the property are adequate in functional classification, width, and structural capacity to meet the traffic requirements of the uses of the proposed Zone District. The Weld County Department of Public Works has submitted conditions of approval in their referral response dated November 28, 2000, that will ensure that the street facilities providing access to this proposal are adequate. F. Section 6.4.4.6.6 In the event the street or highway facilities are not adequate, the applicant shall supply information which demonstrates the willingness and financial capacity to upgrade the street or highway facilities in conformance with the Transportation Section of the Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision Ordinance, and the MUD Ordinance, if applicable. This shall be shown by submitting, with the PUD district application, a separate proposal for on-site and off-site improvement agreements. This proposal shall describe, in detail, the type of on-site Z-553,Challenger PUD.Page 3 Service,Teamwork, Integrity,Quality improvements in compliance with Section 12 of the Subdivision Ordinance and off- site road improvements in compliance with Section 13 of the Subdivision Ordinance, to determine if the requirement for street or highway facilities providing access to the property has been satisfied. The method of guarantee shall conform with Weld County's policy regarding Collateral for Improvements. Improvements to the internal road will be required, and shall be ensured through the Improvements Agreement at the Final plan stage of this proposal. G. Section 6.4.4.6.7 That there has been compliance with the applicable requirements contained in the Zoning Ordinance regarding overlay districts, commercial mineral deposits, and soil conditions on the subject site. The site does lie within the flood plain as identified on FIRM panel map number 080266-0615C. A Condition of Approval will require Flood Hazard Development Permits on each lot prior to construction occurring, including the common open space areas. The proposed rezoning does not contain the use of any area known to contain a commercial mineral deposit in a manner which would interfere with the present or future extraction of such deposit by an extraction to any greater extent than under the present zoning of the property. The site has been mined previously under a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit (AmUSR-672). The Colorado Geological Survey sent a referral, dated May 19, 2000, for the Sketch Plan phase of this proposal and indicated their concerns were only with shallow ground water and soil conditions on the building sites. In a referral response dated November 3, 2000, the Weld County Building Inspection Department is requiring engineered foundations for each residential structure and possibly accessory structures, as well. A soils report will need to be included with blueprints when building permits are applied for with the Weld County Building Inspection Department. These issues are addressed through Conditions of Approval. H. Section 6.4.4.6.8 Consistency exists between the proposed zone district, uses and the Specific or Conceptual Development Guide. The submitted Specific Development Guide does accurately reflect the performance standards and allowed uses described in the proposed zone district with the exception of the Common Open Space, as described previously. The applicant is requesting that the F nal Plan be administratively reviewed. The Department of Planning Services' staff concurs with this request. 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. The Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to PUD Five Lot Residential Subdivision is conditional upon the following: 1. The change of zone plat map shall be submitted to the Department of Planning Services for recording within 30 days of approval by the Board of County Commissioners. 2.
