Re: Weld County Referral COZ25-0012 (REF2025-0038)
Angela:
Thank you for providing the City of Greeley with the opportunity to review the above-mentioned project. The subject
site is located inside of Greeley's Long Range Expected Growth Area(LREGA),below are general comments
applicable to the project.
Comments-
Planning:
1. Advisory. The proposed zoning change to Agricultural from Residential R-1 does not align with our Long
Range Expected Growth Area. These sites are expected to be Suburban Neighborhoods according to our
Imagine Greeley Comprehensive Plan Land Use Guidance Map. The current Residential R-1 zoning aligns
better with our Comprehensive Plan.
2. Advisory. Suburban neighborhoods are primarily made up of single-family detached homes and low density
attached housing types. Please refer to our Imagine Greeley Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use
Guidance Map for reference on Suburban areas.
3. Advisory. Please see Section 24-401, Table 24-4-1 for reference on our zoning districts and intent for those
districts.
EDR:
4. The application pdf seems to show the incorrect site address.
Sincerely,
Paloma Duran
