AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
WELD COUNTY ORDINANCE 147
Requests #1 and #2: To amend and replace the 1-25 Mixed Use Development Area Structural
Plan, Map 2.1 Structural Land Use Map
The Department of Planning Services staff recommends that this request be approved for the
following reasons:
Page 1-2 of the Comprehensive Plan, Item 2, Weld County Ordinance 147P:
A. Comprehensive plan amendment proposals shall be considered bi-annually with
a public hearing process beginning in November or May of each year.
The application for R & M Land Company was received on March 21, 2000. The
application for Columbine Land Resources, Inc. was received May 1, 2000. The July
18, 2000 public hearing was established on June 1, 2000.
B. The petitioner shall pay for the cost of legal publication of the proposed
amendment and all land use application fees.
There is no fee associated with amending the MUD Map. There are fees associated
with publication and both applicants are aware of this fee.
C. A typewritten original and eleven (11) copies of the proposed Comprehensive
Plan amendment must be submitted to the Department of Planning Services no
later than October 1 or April 1 of each year to be considered for review and
public hearings.
The application materials were received on March 21 and May 3, respectively. (May 1,
2000 was a Saturday.) Additional materials were required by both applicants. Such
materials were required prior to establishing a hearing date. It is important to note
that the reason for the hearing process delay was that the Department of Planning
Services was waiting for a preliminary traffic impact study from R & M Land Company.
The Department of Planning Services made the decision to set the Planning
Commission hearing date and not penalize the other applicant. To date, this study has
not been provided. This study is required by the Department of Public Works to
adequately make a referral on these requests, and shall be required prior to establishing
a Board of County Commissioner hearing date.
The following items shall be submitted as part of the proposed amendment:
(1) A statement describing why the comprehensive plan is in need of revision.
Columbine Land Resources, Inc.
The applicant wishes to be included in the MUD Area due to the fact that they wish to
develop the property in the future and want to follow MUD standards for development.
R & M Land Company
The applicant wishes to be included in the MUD Area due to the fact that they wish to
develop the property in the future and want to follow MUD standards for development.
SERVICE,TEAMWORK.INTEGRITY,QLAlI9Y
Page 1-2 of the Comprehensive Plan states that, "Evaluation of the Comprehensive
Plan is necessary to provide an accurate statement of county land-use goals and
policies based on current data and the needs of Weld County citizens." Both applicants
wish to develop their properties following PUD and MUD standards. This goal can only
be accomplished by this amendment procedure.
(2) A statement describing how the proposed amendment will be consistent with
existing and future goals, policies, and needs of the County.
Columbine Land Resources, Inc.
The applicant has stated that development shall be consistent with the MUD Plan. The
applicant is proposing very low density and the preservation of 77% of the land as open
space.
R & M Land Company
The applicant has stated that the current property is not a very productive piece of
agricultural land. The applicant is proposing a mixture of medium and low density
residential development, with a small commercial area to serve area residents. The
applicant is proposing the preservation of 30% of the land as open space.
Comprehensive Plan C.Goal 4 states that it is important to "Recognize the impact of
new development on the natural environment and develop measures to mitigate these."
Furthermore, O.Goal 6 states that "Provision should be made for open space to meet
human needs throughout the County in order to protect and enhance the quality of life
and enjoyment of the environment." Both developments shall proceed through the PUD
development process which allows flexibility in development. This flexibility shall require
each landowner to develop in a consistent manner that will not detract from the future
goals, policies, and needs of the County as outlined in the MUD Plan, Comprehensive
Plan and PUD Ordinance.
In the case of an amendment to the 1-25 MUD area Map the proposed amendment must:
A. Demonstrate the proposed amendment is adjacent to and contiguous with the existing
1-25 MUD Area Map.
Columbine Land Resources, Inc.
This application is adjacent to the existing MUD Map area, with 10% of the
proposed amendment being is contiguous to the existing MUD area.
R & M Land Company
This application is adjacent to the existing MUD Map area, with 14% of the
proposed amendment being is contiguous to the existing MUD area.
B. Describe how the proposed amendment will not place a burden upon existing or planned
service capabilities. This statement shall include how emergency services will be
provided to the proposed area.
Columbine Land Resources, Inc.
The applicant has stated that all of the property can be served by public water and
sewer service. Furthermore, the applicant noted that other utility providers are adjacent
to Weld County Roads 13 and 26 and are available.
SERVICE,'I EANIWQRK,INTEGRITY,QUA!I I
R & M Land Company
The applicant has outlined how particular services shall be met. The applicant included
a detailed description of Roads, Sewer, Water, Fire Protection, Law Enforcement,
Schools, Parks and Open Space, and amenities to service the social, cultural and health
needs of the future residents. A potential conflict does exist between the designated
land use of a 10 acre gravel mining site in close proximity to 210 single family homes.
Through the PUD process, potential conflicts shall be mitigated.
Comprehensive Plan MUD.Goal 2 states, "To provide efficient and cost-effective
delivery of adequate public facilities and services which assure the health, safety, and
general welfare of the present and future residents of Weld County and the area." Both
developments shall proceed through the PUD process which requires the developer to
indicate details of service provision.
C. Delineate the number of people who will reside in the proposed area. This statement
shall include the number of school-aged children and address the cultural and social
service provision needs of the proposed population.
Columbine Land Resources, Inc.
The applicant has noted that an estimated 116 residents may occupy the proposed 40
residential lots. The residents shall have access to the recreational amenities provided
by the large bodies of water on site.
R & M Land Company
The applicant has preliminarily proposed a density of 210 single family homes to occur
on 31 acres. This is a conservatively estimated population of 525 persons.
St. Vrain Valley School District, RE-1J has indicated that, "Should this [these] proposals
be considered for approval, the District would requires the cooperation and participation
of the developer and County in implementing a separate agreement to help mitigate the
impacts on the schools." Weld County would pursue this issue with the School District.
In addition to the amendment to Map 2.1, the proposed amendments described above
necessitate additional changes to reflect accurate land use. Such amendments are as follows:
Comprehensive Plan Table 5 and the Comprehensive Plan Urban Growth Boundary Map.
Request#3: The third proposed amendment consists of minor amendments and major
amendments. The minor amendments consist of document-wide renumbering, spelling
corrections, type face, and alignment for consistency in both documents. There are 6 major
amendments proposed as outlined in your packets, and listed as follows:
1. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment Procedure is in need of amendments to reflect
current practice, consistency with MUD Plan Section 1.1.3 and 2.7.2 respectively, and
clarification for applicants.
2. The Urban Growth Boundary map needs to be amended to reflect correct municipal
boundaries, Intergovernmental Agreement Boundaries and MUD Outline. Six additional
communities (Keenesburg, Evans, Eaton, Kersey, Mead and Milliken) have entered into
Intergovernmental Agreements with Weld County since the last amendment of this map.
These Urban Growth Boundaries shall be accurately reflected on this amended map.

Substantial Change Component 6: Right to Farm Covenant Amendment at the request of the
Weld County Agricultural Study Committee to the Board of County Commissioners.
RIGHT TO FARM COVENANT ADVISEMENT
Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States , ranking fifth
in total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and
spacious,but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize and
accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with longstanding agricultural practices and a lower level
of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the incentives which attract urban dwellers to
relocate to rural area: open views, spaciousness, wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural
atmosphere and way oflife. Without neighboring farms, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural
Weld County would quickly be gone forever.
Agricultural users of the land should not he expected to change their long-established agricultural
practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well run agricultural activities will
generate off-site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment:slow-moving farm vehicles on rural
roads; dust from animal pens,field work, harvest, and gravel roads; odor from animal confinement, silage,
and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes; the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the
fields, including the use of aerial spraying. Ditches and reservoirs cannot simply be moved out of the way
of residential development without threatening the efficient delivery of irrigation to fields which is essential
to farm production.
Weld County covers a land area of over 4,000 square miles in size(twice the State of Delaware)with
more than 3,700 miles of state and county roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area
to be served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than
on patrols of the county and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency responses,
including law enforcement,ambulance,and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who must
leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads,no matter how often they are
bladed,will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean
that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Snow
removal for roads within subdivisions are of the lowest priority for public works or may he the private
responsibility of the homeowners. Services in rural areas,in many cases,will not be equivalent to municipal
services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, he more self-sukficient that urban dwellers.
Children are exposed to different hazards in the county than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm
equipment and oil field equipment,ponds and irrigation ditches,electrical power for pumps and center pivot
operations, high speed traffic, sand burs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs, and livestock present real
threats to children. Controlling children's activities is important, not only for their safety, but also for the
protection of the farmer's livelihood.
Colorado Revised Statute>> 35-3.5-102 provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found
to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods
or practices that are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production.
SERVICE TEAMWORK.INITGRII It QUALITY
The Department of Planning Services staff recommends that this third request be approved for
the following reasons:

hearings.
The County met this requirement.
The following items shall be submitted as part of the proposed amendment:
(1) A statement describing why the comprehensive plan is in need of revision.
Accurate information and ordinances which reflect current practice is important for the
public to have.

Substantial Change Component 6: Right to Farm Covenant Amendment at the request of the
Weld County Agricultural Study Committee to the Board of County Commissioners.
RIGHT TO FARM COVENANT ADVISEMENT
Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States ,
ranking fifth in total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County
may be open and spacious,but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural
area must recognize and accept there arc drawbacks, including conflicts with longstanding
agricultural practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come
the incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural area: open views, spaciousness,
wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without
neighboring farms, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly
be gone"'brever.
Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-established
agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well run
agricultural activities will generate off-site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment;
slow-moving farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest, and gravel
roads; odor from animal confinement, silage, and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and
mosquitoes; the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying.
Ditches and reservoirs cannot simply be moved out of the way of residential development without
threatening the efficient delivery of irrigation to fields which is essential to farm production.
Weld County covers a land area of over 4,000 square miles in size (twice the State of
Delaware)with more than 3,700 miles of state and county roads outside of municipalities. The sheer
magnitude of the area to be served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on
responses to complaints more than on patrols of the county and the distances which must be traveled
may delay all emergency responses,including law enforcement,ambulance,and fire. Fire protection
is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies.
County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface
expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials
may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Snow removal for roads within
subdivisions are of the lowest priority for public works or may be the private responsibility of the
homeowners. Services in rural areas, in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services.
Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be more self-sufficient that urban dwellers.
Children are exposed to different hazards in the county than in an urban or suburban setting.
Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps
and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sand burs,puncture vines, territorial farm dogs, and
livestock present real threats to children. Controlling children's activities is important, not only for
their safety,but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood.
Colorado Revised Statute SS 35-3.5-102 provides that an agricultural operation shall not he
found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance
employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural
proclucNon.
