TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Shani L. Eastin, Current Planner
WIlDC SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment
COLORADO DATE:January 26, 1998
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Department of Planning Services recommends that Comprehensive Plan A.Goal 3 and A. Policy
3 be amended as follows:
A.Goal 3 Discourage urban-scale residential, commercial, and industrial development which
is not located adjacent to existing incorporated municipalities.
A.Policy 3 Conversion of agricultural land to urban-scale residential, commercial, and industrial
development will be discouraged when the subject site is located outside of an
accepted Intergovernmental Agreement area,urban growth boundary area, or I-
25 Mixed Use Development area and urban development nodes. This policy is
intended to promote conversion of agricultural land in an orderly manner which is
in harmony with the phased growth plans of a municipality and the county. It is
further intended to minimize the incompatibilities that occur between uses in the
agricultural district and districts that allow urban-type uses. In addition, this policy
is expected to contribute to minimizing the costs to Weld County taxpayers of
providing additional public services in rural areas for uses that require services on
an urban level.
The Department of Planning Services also recommends that following verbiage be added to the
MUD Development Standards, Section 2.7.3, Design Standards after the first sentence:
Consistent with the urban-scale development standards in the MUD area, all parking areas for
commercial and industrial development shall be paved according to geometric and road structure
design standards.
The Department of Planning Services' staff has determined that the following standards have been
satisfied as stated in the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Procedure 2.C (1) and (2) as follows:
(1) The Comprehensive Plan and Mixed Used Development (MUD) Area Development
Standards are in need of revision to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan is consistent
with language approved in the Zoning, Subdivision and Planned Unit Development
Ordinances and to ensure that the MUD Development Standards are consistent with
the intent of having urban development standards in the area;
(2) These amendments will be consistent with existing and future goals, policies, and
needs of the County.
