PURPOSE
ZONING PROVIDES THE SAME TYPE OF COMMON SENSE DIVISIOIS CF BUSINESS, RESIDEN-
TIAL, AND INDUSTRIAL AREAS THAT WE CREATE IN OUR OWN HOMES BY THE USE OF WALLS TO
SEPARATE LIVING, SLEEPING, WORKING, AND STORAGE AREAS. BY THE USE OF WELL ESTABLISH-
ED LEGAL PRINCIPLES, ZONING MAKES POSSIBLE THE SAFEGUARDING OF RESIDENTIAL AREAS -
BUSINESS AREAS ARE PROTECTED FOR DEVELOPMENT IN LOGICAL AREAS - AND INDUSTRIAL DIS-
TRICTS MAY BE PRESERVED IN LOCATIONS WITH GOOD ACCESS TO MAIN TRAVEL ROUTES AND UTIL-
ITIES.
IN GENERAL, THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE ARE PROMOTED THROUGH
ZONING IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
(1)
PROPERTY VALUES ARE PROTECTED SINCE USES WHICH WOULD LESSEN VALUES ARE NOT
ALLOWED IN AREAS WHERE CONFLICT WOULD OCCUR.
(2) GROWTH POTENTIALITY IS INCREASED BY THE RESERVATION OF ADEQUATE LAND FOR ALL
USES.
( 3) ESTABLISHED BUSINESS AREAS ARE PROTECTED AGAINST THE INDISCRIMINATE DEVELOP-
MENT OF BUSINESS BUILDINGS WHEREVER VACANT OR CHEAP LAND EXISTS.
THE PUBLIC TAX BASE IS STABILIZED AND MAINTAINED.
LENDING INSTITUTIONS MAKE HIGHER LOANS IN AREAS PROTECTED BY ZONING.
(8)
(g)
INCREASED SAFETY AND CONSEQUENT LOWER FIRE INSURANCE RATES RESULT FROM THE
PREVENTION OF OVERCROWDING AND SEGREGATION OF HAZARDOUS USES.
RESIDENTS ARE PROTECTED AGAINST LOSS OF LIGHT AND AIR DUE TO THE BULK AND
PROXIMITY OF NEIGHBORING DEVELOPMENTS.
FIRE FIGHTING EFFICIENCY IS AIDED BY THE RESERVATION OF FRONT, SIDE AND REAR
YARDS.
PUBLIC HEALTH IS PROTECTED FROM DISEASES RESULTING FROM UNSANITARY, OVERCROW-
DED CONDITIONS.
(10) STREET AND HIGHWAY CONGESTION, SAFETY AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS :kRE INFLUENCED
BY OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS, SPECIFICATIONS FOR ADEQUATE SIGHT DIS-
TANCE AT INTERSECTIONS, AND FRONT YARD AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.
(11) UTILITY. SCHOOL, PARK AND OTHER PUBLIC REQUIREMENTS MAY BE MORE EFFICIENTLY
PROVIDED WHERE ZONING INDICATES FUTURE LAND USE AND DENSITIrS.
INTRODUCT I ON 1
THE ZONING OF SOME UNINCORPORATED AREAS IN DELD COUNTY, COLORADO, HAS BEEN
REQUESTED BY CERTAIN RESIDENTS IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE VALUE OF THEIR PROPERTIES.
THESE INDIVIDUALS REALIZE THAT MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT ARE ESSENTIAL,
IF MANY DESIRABLE FEATURES OF THE PRESENT COUNTY ARE TO BE PRESERVED. ALSO THESE
PROPERTY OWNERS WISH TO INSURE THEIR OWN INVESTMENTS BY HAVING SOME KNOWLEDGE OF FU-
TURE DEVELOPMENT TRENDS. AS EXAMPLES, A NEW BUSINESS UNIT WILL WISH TO LOCATE WITH
GOOD ACCESS TO FUTURE HIGHWAY ROUTES AND AWAY FROM INDUSTRIAL NUISANCES, JUST AS A
NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL DESIRE TO LOCATE AWAY FROM FLOOD HAZARDS AND WITH-
OUT CONFLICT FROM NORMAL BUSINESS EXPANSION.
IN ORDER TO ASSIST WITH THE ZONING OF VARIOUS AREAS WHICH ARE IN THE PATH OF
POPULATION EXPANSION IN I'IELD COUNTY, THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE APPOINT-
ED A PLANNING COMMISSION. MEMBERS OF THIS ADVISORY BOARD, WHO SERVING WITHOUT PAY,
AID IN THE PREPARATION OF PLANS AND STANDARDS FOR FUTURE GROWTH. ONE OF THEIR RE-
SPONSIBILITES IS TO WORK WITH PROPERTY OWNERS IN AREAS WHERE AN INTEREST HAS BEEN
EXPRESSED FOR ZONING.
THE TERMS OF THIS SUGGESTED ZONING TEXT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN FOR THE SPECIAL RE-
QUIREMENTS OF GELD COUNTY. COMPLICATED, INVOLVED ZONING TERMS AND UNNECESSARY CROSS-
REFERENCES HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED IN ORDER FOR RESIDENTS TO EASILY DETERMINE HOW THE
PROPOSED LAW WOULD OPERATE. WHEREVER APPLICABLE, PROVISIONS OF THE CITY OF GREELEY
ZONING ORDINANCE HAVE BEEN USED, SO THAT UNNECESSARY CONFUSION OF TERMS MAY BE AVOI-
DED.
FURTHER INFORMATION MAY BE OBTAINED BY CONTACTING MEMBERS OF THE WELD COUNTY
PLANNING COMMISSION OR OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN APPOINTED ON SPECIAL AD-
VISORY ZONING COMMITTEES.

AMEN D MEN T S 17
8.3 REASONS FOR REZONING
REQUESTS FOR REZONING OF TRACTS WITHIN I"ELD COUNTY SHOULD BE SUPPORTED BY DE-
TAILED AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT SUCH REZONING IS NECESSARY. RECENT FIND-
INGS AND ORAL STATEMENTS BY THE PETITIONERS SHOULD SHOW VERY CLEARLY THAT EI-
THER THE ORIGINAL ZONING WAS FAULTY OR THAT CHANGING CONDITIONS IN THE AREA
NOW JUSTIFY A NEW CLASSIFICATION. I IITHOUT THE PRESENTATION OF SUCH SUPPORT-
ING DOCUMENTATION, THE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION SHOULD NOT RECOMMENDA CHANGE
IN ZONING.
THE FOLLOWING ARGUMENTS WHICH ARE FREQUENTLY PRESENTED ARE NOT SUFFICIENT
GROUNDS FOR REZONING:
"THE AREA HAS NO OTHER PRACTICAL USE',"
"THE PROPOSED REZONING WOULD ALLOW THE 'HIGHEST AND BEST' USE OF THE
LAND';"
"A NON -CONFORMING USE IS LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY;"
"THE AREA ADJOINS LAND ALREADY ZONED IN THIS MANNER;"
"NO ONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OBJECTS;"
•IF THE ZONING IS GRANTED, WE WILL AGREE TO USE IT ONLY FOR CERTAIN
PURPOSES;"
"YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN US ANY REASONS FOR NOT MAKING THE CHANGE."
ALTHOUGH EACH OF THE PRECEDING ARGUMENTS HAS SOME VALIDITY, NO ONE ARGUMENT
ALONE IS SUFFICIENT GROUNDS FOR REZONING. THERE MUST BE DEFINITE PROOF THAT
THE AREA REQUESTED FOR CHANGE HAS UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS WHICH DISTINGUISH IT
FROM SURROUNDING LANDS AND THUS MAKE ITS REZONING ESSENTIAL. ",:HENEVER A CHANGE
I& RECOMMENDED, THE PLANNING COMMISSION MUST ASSUME THAT THE MOST DETRIMENTAL
USES PERMITTED IN SUCH ZONE MIGHT OCCUR. FURTHERMORE, ONCE A CHANGE IS MADE,
THE PLANNING COMMISSION MUST RECOGNIZE THE PRECEDENT WHICH IS ESTABLISHED,
BOTH IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA AND IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTY, FOR LIKE RE-
ZONING OF OTHER LANDS "SIMILARLY SITUATED". ACTIONS TO REZONE PROPERTY SIMPLY
BECAUSE "IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE" OR "WE THINK IT WILL HELP THE
COUNTY TAX BASE "MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PROBLEMS. ZONING IS A COMPLICATED LEGAL
PROCESS WHICH MUST BE ADMINISTERED IMPARTIALLY, IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE
ENTIRE COUNTY, ON THE BASIS OF FACTS, NOT WISHFUL THINKING.
