PURPOSE
ZONING PROVIDCS T1':: SAVE TYPE OF C@6MON SENSE DIVISIONS OF BUSINESS, RESIDENTIAL, AND IN-
DUSTRIAL AREAS THAT WE CREATE IN OUR OWN HOMES BY THE USE OF WALLS TO SEPARATE LIVING, SLEEPItn,
WORKING, AND STORAGE AREAS. BY THE USE OF WELL ESTABLISHED LEGAL Ph..NCIPLES, ZONING MAKLS POS-
SIDLE THE SAFEGUARDING OF RESIDENTIAL AREAS - BUSINESS AREAS ARE PROTECTED FOR DEVELOPMENT IN LO-
GICAL AREAS - AND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS MAY BE• PRESERVED IN LOCATIONS WITH GOOD ACCESS TO MAIN
TRAVEL ROUTES AND UTILITIES.
IN GENERAL, 1HE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE ARE PROMOTED THROUGH ZONING IN THE
FOLLOWING WAYS:
( 1 ) PROPERTY VALUES Ant 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 DEVELOPMENT OF BUSI-
NESS BUILDItUS WHEREVER VACANT OR CHEAP LAND EXISTS.
„ ( 4) THE PUBLIC TAX BASE IS STABILIZED AND MAINTAINED.
(5 ) LENDING INSTITUTIONS MAKE HIGHER LOANS IN AREAS PROTECTED BY ZONING.
r ( 6 ) INCREASED SAFETY ANO CO.SEQUEN` LOWER FIRE INSURANCE RATES RESULT FROM THE PREVENTION C"
IWERCROWDING AND SEGnECAT ION OF HAZARDOUS USES.
(7 ) RESIDENTS ARE MiCTECTED AGAINST LOSS OF LIGHT AND AIR DUE TO THE BULK AND PROXIMITY OF
NEIGHBORING DEVELOPMENTS.
(8 ) FIRE FIGHTING EF°ICIENCY IS AIDED tY THE RESERVATION OF FRONT, SIDE AND REAR YARDS.
(9 ) PUBLIC HEALTH IS P:'.OTECTED FROM DISEASES RESULTING FROM UNSANITARY, OVERCROWDED ODNDITIONS.
(10) STREET AND HIGHt:AY CONGEL7.OrJ, SAF'LTY N:J tC .TS ARE INFLUENCED BY OFF-STREtT
PARKING REQUIREMENTS, SPECIFICATIONS FOR ADEQUATE SIGHT DISTANCE AT INTERSECTIONS, AND
FWJi:T vARD AND SET;P,Pc REQUIREMENTS.
(!1) UTILITY, SCHOOL, PARK ANO OTHER PUBLIC REQUIREMENTS MAY BE MORE EFFICIENTLY PROM OED WHERE
ZONING INDICATES FUTURE LAND USE AND DENSITIES.

INTRODUCTION 1
.I
THE ZONING OF SOME UNINCORPORATED AREAS IN WELD 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 PRES-
ENT COUNTY ARE TO BE PRESERVED. ALSO THESE PROPERTY OWNERS WISH TO INSURE THEIR OWN INVESTMENTS
BY HAVING SOME KNOWLEDGE OF FUTURE 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 WITHOUT CONFLICT
FROM NORMAL BUSINESS EXPANSION.
IN ORDER TO ASSIST WITH THE ZONING OF VARIOUS AREAS WHICH ARE IN THE PATH OF POPULATION
EXPANSION IN WELD COUNTY, THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE APPOINTED A PLANNING COMMISSION.
MEMBERS OF THIS ADVISORY BOARD, WHO SERVING WITHOUT PAY, AID IN THE PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SGN-
DARDS FOR FUTURE GROWTH. ONE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES IS TO WORK WITH PROPERTY OWNERS IN AREAS
WHERE AN INTEREST HAS BEEN EXPRESSED FOR ZONING.
THE TERMS OF THIS SUGGESTED ZONING TEXT HAVE %EN WRITTEN FOR THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OF
WELD COUNTY. COMPLICATED, INVOLVED ZONING TERMS AND UNNECESSARY CROSS-REFERENCES HAVE BEEN MINI-
MIZED IN ORDER FOR RESIDENTS TO EASILY DETERMMC HOW THE PROPOSED LAW WOULD OPERATE, WHEREVER AP-
. PLICABLE, PROVISIONS OF THE CITY OF GREELEY ZONING ORDINANCE HAVE BEEN USED, SO THAT UNNECESSARY
CONFUSION OF TERMS NAY BE AVOIDED.
FURTHER INFORMATION MAY BE OBTAINED BY CONTACTING MEMBERS OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COM-
MISSION OR OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN APPOINTED ON SPECIAL ADVISORY ZONING COMMITTEES.

• the runway threshold , its centerline being the contin-
uation of the centerline of the runway.
(c ) NON- INSTRUMENT APPROACH SURFACE
A -Non- instrument Approach Surface is established at each
end of all non- instrument unway3 for non-instrument land-
ings and takeoffs . The Non-instrument Approach Surfaces
are trapezoidal in shape and have a width of 250 feet at
a distance of 200 feet beyond each end of the runway , wid-
ening thereafter uniformly to a width of 1 ,250 feet at a
distance of 5 , 000 feet beyond each end of the runway , its
centerline being the continuation of the centerline of
the runway.
(3 ) HEIGHT LIMITATIONS WITHIN DESCRIBED SURFACES AND AIR SPACES
Except as otherwise provided in this Section , no structure
or tree shall be erected , altered , allowed to grow, or main-
tained in the area within any surface created by this Section
to a height in excess of the height limit herein established
for such surface , or by Paragraph 77 . 23 of the Federal Avia-
tion Regulations . Such height limitations are hereby estab-
lished for each of the surfaces as follows :
(a ) HORIZONTAL SURFACE
No structu-e or object of natural growth shall penetrate
the airspace above 4 , 798 feet above mean sea level with-
in the Horizontal Surface .
USE AND DENSITY SCHEDULES 9-D
(b) INSTRUMENT APPROACH SURFACE
Height limits on <.11 objects within the Instrument Ap-
proach Surface Pre hereby established according to the
following schedule :
West Precision Instrument Approach Surface
Distance from Runway Edge Height Range

terference with radio communication between the Weld
County Municipal Airport and aircraft , make it difficult
for plots to distinguish between airport lights and other
lights , result in ylare in the eyes of pilots using the
airport , impair visibility in the vicinity of the airport
or otherwise endanger the landing , taking off , or maneuver-
ing of aircraft at the airport or in the vicinity of the
airport .
(a ) TRANSITION SURFACE
Transition Surfaces are established adjacent to each
instrument and non- instrument runway and approach
surface as indicated on the zoning map . Transition
surfaces symmetrically located on either side of run-
ways have variable widths as shown on the zoning map .
Transition surfaces extend outward from a line 125
feet on either side of the centerline of the non- instru-
ment runway , for the length of such runway plus 200
feet on each end ; and 500 feet on either side of the
centerline of the instrument runway , for the length of
such runway plus 200 feet on each end , and are paral -
lel and level with such runway centerlines . The
Transition Surfaces along such runways slope upward
and outward one ( 1 ) foot vertically for each seven (7 )
feet horizontally to the point where they intersect
the horizontal surface . Further , Transition Surfaces
are established adjacent to both instrument and non-
instrument approach surfaces for the entire length of
the approach surfaces . These Transition Surfaces have
variable widths , as shown on the zoning map . Such
Transition Surfaces `lare symmetrically with either
side of the r.Jrway -roach surfaces from the base of
such surfaces and slope upward and outward at the rate
of one ( 1 ) foot vertically for each seven (7 ) feet
horizontally to the points where they intersect the
surfaces of the horizontal and conical surfaces . Addi -
tionally , Transition Surfaces are established adjacent
to the instrument approach surfaces where they project
through and beyond the limits of the conical surface ,
extending a distance of 5 ,000 feet measured horizon-
tally from the edge of the instrument approach surfaces
at right angles to the continuation of the centerline
of the runway .
