CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: APPROVE POLICY FOR ZONING PROPERTY
DEANNEXED FROM A MUNICIPALITY: Mr. Barker stated that when a
municipality deannexes property, it reverts back to County Zoning unless the
neighborhood has changed and Weld County lacks a policy for zoning such
properties. Responding to Commissioner Harbert, Mr. Barker stated a
substantial change would have to be determined by the Board of
Commissioners; however, the Zoning Ordinance provides for a substantial
change process. In response to Chair Baxter, Monica Mika, Director of
Planning Services, explained an existing business being deannexed may apply
for a Use by Special Review Permit in the County. Ms. Mika stated this
resolution allows staff to lessen impacts of existing business on the surrounding
area. Mr. Barker explained an existing business would be aware of the changes
from deannexing because it would have to request the deannexation.
Commissioner Hall moved to approve said resolution. Commissioner Harbert
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

HAVE PUBLISHED EMERGENCY ORDINANCE #192-B SUPPLEMENTAL

unanimously.

token rings because they have been replaced by Ethernet network devices.

PLANNING:

THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) PLAN (CON'T FROM 11/24/97):

Harbert seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Barker read said
title. Ms. Mika stated she had not received any comments and added the
Planning Department will be working with a representative for the Saint Vrain
Valley Committee.
Virginia Shaw, Weld County resident, stated having a representative for the
area was good, but asked the County to pay for publishing the information the
representative receives and suggested the County publish its business in the
Longmont Times Call. Commissioner Harbert explained the bidding process for
the official County newspaper and said the Committee can subscribe to the
County paper as a group. Ms. Shaw also stated her concerns for the lack of
agricultural regulation in the PUD. Commissioner Harbert stated the County has
no jurisdiction over municipalities who wish to annex land, and suggested the

St. Vrain Committee express its concerns to the municipalities in the area. Artie

in some of the papers in the Mixed Use Development area. Mr. Elmquist also
stated many residents in the area do not wish to develop their land, although
they have to deal with the impacts of the surrounding developments.

this Ordinance will allow the County to address agricultural concerns and inform
surrounding owners of developments earlier. Commissioner Harbert moved to

the motion, which carried unanimously.
