COMMENTS:
Parcels 131115300004:
The project proposes to: Change of Zone from the A (Agricultural)to the C-3 (Business Commercial) Zone
District.
ACCESS:
Weld County Development Review has reviewed the application materials related to access.
The application materials propose one access onto CR 20. The applicant shall obtain an access permit
for a location that meets the Minimum Access Spacing Criteria, as specified in Table 1 below.

Distance between accesses and intersections 660 660 330
Distance between access points 660 330 150
Distance between access points in subdivisions 660 330 75
Per Sec. 8-14-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County maintained roadways. We
strongly encourage you to discuss your access location with Development Review prior to laying out your
site plan. All "preliminarily approved" accesses are subject to change during the access permitting process.
Per Sec. 24-8-40, when feasible, there shall be no net increase in the number of accesses to a public road.
Minimum access spacing widths are shown in Weld County Code Sec. 8-14-30. Please refer to Chapter 8
of the Weld County Code for more information regarding access.
ROADS AND RIGHT-OF-WAY:
County Road 20 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map(Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a local road,which requires 60 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall delineate on
the plat the future and existing right-of-way and the physical location of the road. If the right-of-way cannot
be verified it shall be dedicated. Pursuant to the definition of setback in the Weld County Code Sec. 23-1-
90, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. Be aware that physical roadways
may not be centered in the right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County.
CR 20 has been reviewed with regard to Section 23-2-30.A.4. which requires any zone district other than
A (Agriculture), with an unpaved road providing access to the subject parcels to have a minimum 26-foot-
wide travel surface with a minimum 4-inch depth of aggregate surface course (gravel) and a minimum
RIGHT-OF-WAY width of sixty (60) feet. This review found that this portion of CR 20 is paved and meets
the minimum criteria.
Per Chapter 8, Article 13, Section 8-13-30, a Weld County Right-of-Way Use Permit is required for any
project that will be occupying, constructing or excavating facilities within, and or encroaching upon, any
County rights-of-way or easement. Right-of-Way Use Permit instructions and application can be found at
https://www.weldgov.com/Government/Departments/Public-Works/Permits
Weld County will not replace overlapping easements located within existing right-of-way or pay to relocate
existing utilities within the County right-of-way.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
The plat shall be amended to delineate the following:
1. County Road 20 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional
Classification Map (Code Ordinance 2017-01) as a local road, which requires 60 feet of right-
of-way at full buildout. The applicant shall delineate and label on the plat the future and
existing right-of-way (along with the documents creating the existing right-of-way) and the
physical location of the road. If the existing right-of-way cannot be verified it shall be

Re: COZ23-0001 Applicant: PV East LLC
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Change of Zone from the A
(Agricultural) Zone District to the C-3 (Business Commercial) Zone District.
Central Weld County Water District and an on-site wastewater treatment system may serve the site
when developed.
We recommend the following appear as notes on the Change of Zone plat:
1. Water service may be obtained from Central Weld County Water District.
2. The parcel is currently not served by a municipal sanitary sewer system. Sewage disposal
may be by an on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) designed in accordance with the
regulations of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality
Control Division, and the Weld County Code in effect at the time of construction, repair,
replacement, or modification of the system.
3. Activity or use on the surface of the ground over any part of the OWTS must be restricted to
that which shall allow the system to function as designed and which shall not contribute to
compaction of the soil or to structural loading detrimental to the structural integrity or capability
of the component to function as designed.

Re: Referral Form Case#COZ23-0001
Dear Mr. Nadar,
This proposal is not consistent with the City of Fort Lupton's current Comprehensive Plan.This site is
designated as Agricultural and Rural Residential in our Future Land Use Planning Map, which was
adopted in 2019.The county's C-3 zone district allow uses that will not be compatible with existing land
uses adjacent to the property and in the near vicinity which are mostly agricultural and residential in
nature. We would still welcome the opportunity to discuss the option of annexation and discuss
potential future land uses in the area with the existing property owner.
Sincerely,
O O
