TO: Chris Gathman, Planning Services
FROM: Melissa J King, PE, DRE
DATE: August 23, 2022
SUBJECT: COZ22-0010 Knudson
The proposal has been reviewed on behalf of the Weld County Department of Public Works and Department
of Planning and Zoning. Staff comments made during this phase of the application process may not be all-
inclusive, as other issues may arise during the remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
Parcel: 146933400039 Lot A RECX16-0028.
The project proposes to: Change of Zone from the A (Agricultural) Zone District to the C-3 (Business
Commercial) Zone District.
ACCESS:
Weld County Development Review has reviewed the application materials related to access.
The parcel has an existing permitted access onto CR 19. (AP13-00362 Residential). This is a shared
access point with an associated 60 -foot -wide easement created by RECX13-0106 Rec. No. 3985122. The
applicant shall obtain an access permit for the change of use.
Per Sec. 8-14-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County maintained roadways. Please
refer to Chapter 8 of the Weld County Code for more information regarding access.
ROADS AND RIGHT-OF-WAY:
County Road 19 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as an arterial road, which requires 140 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.
County Road 19 is found to be adequate in functional classification, width and structural capacity to meet
the traffic requirements of the proposed zone. CR 19 is a paved two-lane road.
The property is bounded on the south by CR 2. While the County does have right-of-way in this area, it is
not maintained by the County. This segment of CR 2 is under the jurisdiction of Adams County. Contact
Adams County to verify right-of-way.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
The plat shall be amended to delineate the following:
1. County Road 19 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification
Map (Code Ordinance 2017-01) as an arterial road, which requires 140 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 dedicated. The applicant shall also
delineate the physical location of the roadway. 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.
This road is maintained by Weld County. (Development Review)
2. This portion of County Road 2 is under the jurisdiction of Adams County. Please contact the
County to verify the right-of-way. Show and label the right-of-way. (Development Review)

Memorandum
To: Chris Gathman
From: Lauren Light, Environmental Health Services
Date: September 21, 2022
Re: COZ22-0010 Applicant: Kennard and Vicki Knudson
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.
The property is currently vacant and will be served by Todd Creek Metropolitan District for water and
an on -site wastewater treatment system when development occurs. A commitment letter from Todd
Creek was provided as part of the application.
We recommend the following appear as notes on the plat:
1. Water service may be obtained from Todd Creek Metropolitan 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 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.

OGED Reviewer: Jennifer Teeters
Review Date: 8/30/2022
The Staff of the Weld County Oil and Gas Energy Department (OGED) appreciates the opportunity to
comment on the captioned planning case. Staff has completed review of the proposal and have no
conflicts with the proposed activity. We have included additional comments below:
1. There are no active or proposed 1041 WOGLA Permits on the associated parcel. There are
several oil and gas well sites in the area surrounding the parcel, none directly on the
associated parcel.
2. The COZ lands may include additional oil and gas related infrastructure, such as off -location
flowlines or pipeline which are a use by right and not regulated by Weld County. OGED
requests that the applicant reviews flowline data available from the COGCC map viewer and
utilize Colorado 811 prior to any excavation activities.
This determination is based upon the review of the application materials submitted by the applicant and
other relevant information available on the E -Permit site.
