and industrial development will be discouraged when the subject site is located
outside of a municipality's comprehensive plan area, urban growth boundary area,
or 1-25 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

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.
