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 Public Works 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. For shared, Public Works strongly
recommends the property owner establish an access road maintenance agreement so future owner of the
properties will be aware of their requirements for shared maintenance of the access road. This is not a
requirement for the recorded exemption but is recommended to avoid property owner conflicts in the future.
Please refer to Chapter 8 of the Weld County Code for more information regarding access.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
County Road 18 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a collector road, which requires 80 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall delineate
and label on the site map or 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 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.
Per, Sec. 8-13-30.B, 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/departments/publicworks/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.
TRAFFIC
Latest ADT (2019) on this portion of CR 18 counted 2,565 vpd with 33% trucks. The 85th percentile speed
is 53 mph.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicates that site traffic would be typical
residential traffic.
No additional traffic information is needed.
TRACKING CONTROL

MEMORANDUM
To: Michael Hall, Planner January 3, 2022
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer II
Subject: USR22-0001 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV21-00155) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the addition of multiple cargo containers without permits as well as multiple
semi -trailers without first obtaining the appropriate land use permits as well as the presence of more than
2 cargo containers. All, but 1 Commercial Vehicle, have been removed from the property as allowed as
an Accessory Use; however, a complete Use by Special Review (USR) application had not yet been
received prior to forwarding the case to the County Attorney's Office. This case has been forwarded to
the County Attorney's Office; therefore, an investigation fee IS required.
Due to records release laws, staff no longer tracks complainant information, but please be aware it is
staff's policy to no longer accept staff -initiated complaints.
If this application is approved, and once the applicant completes all Conditions of Approval and
submission a final and approved map for recording and assuming no more than the 1 (one) Commercial
Vehicle returns to the property, the Zoning Violation (ZCV21-00155) would be closed.
If this application is denied, the Zoning Violation (ZCV21-00155) case would proceed accordingly in
County Court.
