Case Summary:
Lakota Lakes Subdivision is zoned PUD with Estate Zone District uses per case number PZ-594,
recorded May 19, 2004, reception #3181487. The Corrected Lakota Lakes final plat PF-594 was recorded
August 30, 2005, reception #3317927. Second single-family dwellings are not permitted in the Estate
Zone District, including PUDs with Estate Zone District uses, unless expressly called out and approved by
the Board of County Commissioners. This Change of Zone proposes to amend PZ-594 to allow second
single-family dwellings in Lakota Lakes PUD.
The applicant is requesting the ability to add a second single-family dwelling to each residential property
for the use of the immediate family only. No renters, Airbnb, or permanent residents will be allowed. No
other changes or improvements to the PUD are requested with this amendment. An amended final plat
will be required after PUDZ21-0001 is recorded.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 27-5-30
of the Weld County Code.
2. The submitted materials are in compliance with Section 27-6-120 of the Weld County Code as
follows:
A. Section 27-6-120.B.2.a - The proposal is consistent with any intergovernmental agreement in
effect influencing the PUD and Chapters 19 (Coordinated Planning Agreements), Chapter 22
(Comprehensive Plan), Chapter 23 (Zoning), and Chapter 24 (Subdivision) of the Weld
County Code.
Section 22-2-30.C.2. of the Weld County Code states: Establish residential development
options based on compatibility, proximity to municipalities, and availability of services that
reflect the desired density and character of that location."
The proposed amendment is located in an existing 7 -lot Planned Unit Development (PUD).
This PUD is adjacent to Heritage Crossing Ranch PUD directly to the south. The proposed
amendment will allow second single-family dwellings on the lots which is not out of character
with the area.
Section 22-2-30.B.2. of the Weld County Code states: "Urban -scale development shall only be
placed where urban services, including public water, are available."
The seven (7) residential lots are provided water service by a Little Thompson Water District
(LTWD) taps. LTWD stated, in the referral response, dated February 24, 2021, that the
District's guideline is a size limit of 1,000 square feet. In conversation with Jake Hebert, PE of
the LTWD it was stated that a variance may be applied for if the dwelling is greater than
1,000 square feet.
Sewage disposal is provided by individual on -site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS).
New septic system will be required for all second single-family dwellings.
Additionally, the rights -of -way and road to access the PUD have already been dedicated and
built and no other on -site or off -site improvements are required to accommodate the
requested amendment. No drainage or utility easements are proposed to be removed or
changed.
B. Section 27-6-120.B.2.b - The uses which would be allowed in the proposed PUD will conform
with the Performance Standards of the PUD Zone District contained in Article II, Chapter 27
of the Weld County Code.
The proposed PUD conforms with the performance standards as outlined in Chapter 27,
PUDZ21-0001 — Lakota Lakes
Page 3 of 11
Article II, Section 27-2-20 through Section 27-2-220 of the Weld County Code with the
following exceptions:
Section 27-2-40. — Bulk Requirements - The applicant shall adhere to the uses and bulk
requirements of the E (Estate) Zone District with the exception that four (4) animal units shall
be allowed on each residential lot.
Section 27-2-200. - Uses — The applicant is requesting that a second single-family dwelling
be allowed on each residential lot.
C. Section 27-6-120.B.2.c - The uses which would be permitted shall be compatible with the
existing or future development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing Zoning,
and with the future development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code or
master plans of affected municipalities.
The PUD is located within the 3 -mile referral area of the Towns of Windsor, Johnstown and
Milliken, the City of Greeley, and Larimer County. The Towns of Johnstown and Windsor
responded with referral responses dated February 11, and February 9, 2021, respectively
and both indicated no concerns. No referral response has been received from the City of
Greeley, the Town of Milliken, or Larimer County.
The PUD is located within the Coordinated Planning Agreement boundary for the Towns of
Windsor, Johnstown, and Milliken. As part of the pre -application process the municipalities
were sent a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) form. The Towns of Towns of Windsor, Johnstown, and
Milliken submitted a signed NOI form. All the NOls are dated August 17, 2020, and the NOls
state that the municipalities have no interest in annexing this property.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services sent notice to thirteen (13) surrounding
property owners within 500 feet of the PUD. No correspondence was received concerning this
PUDZ.
D. Section 27-6-120.B.2.d - The PUD Zone District shall be serviced by an adequate water
supply and sewage disposal system in compliance with the Performance Standards in Article
11 the Weld County Code.
Water is provided by the Little Thompson Water District. Sewer will be provided by individual
on -site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS). The application has satisfied Chapter 27,
Article II, Section 27-2-176 and Section 27-2-210 of the Weld County Code in regard to water
and sewer provisions.
The Little Thompson Water District evaluates the request for water service to proposed
second single-family dwelling through the commitment letter process on a case -by -case
basis. A commitment request is required to be submitted to the District for each proposed
second single-family dwelling. The District will evaluate the proposed second single-family
dwelling and the projected water use. A commitment letter with all requirements and
provisions for water service will then be issued.
E. Section 27-6-120.B.2.e - The street or highway facilities providing access to the property are
adequate in functional classification, width, and structural capacity to meet the traffic
requirements of the uses of the proposed PUD Zone District.
The existing residential lots in the PUD utilize the existing Lakota Lakes road.
F. Section 27-6-120.B.2.f - An off -site road improvements agreement and an on -site
improvements agreement proposal is in compliance with Chapter 24 of the Weld County
Code as amended and a road improvements agreement is complete and has been
submitted, if applicable.
There is an existing Improvements Agreement for the PUD, reception number 3308596,
PUDZ21-0001 — Lakota Lakes
Page 4 of 11
dated August 2, 2005, for access onto CR 54. The collateral was released per Resolution
#2014-0876. An amended Improvements Agreement is not required.
G. Section 27-6-120.B.2.g - There has been compliance with the applicable requirements
contained in Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code regarding overlay districts, commercial
mineral deposits, and soil conditions on the subject site.
The PUD is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area. Any new development will be required to
submit a Floodplain Development Permit if it is located in the floodplain.
The PUD is not located within an Airport Overlay, Geological Hazard Area, or MS4 Area.
H. Section 27-6-120.6.2.h - Consistency exists between the proposed zone district(s), uses, the
specific or conceptual development guide.
The submitted Conceptual Development Guide accurately reflects consistency with the
performance standards and allowed uses described in the Estate Zone District.
This approval recommendation is based upon compliance with Chapter 27 requirements.

42. RIGHT TO EXTRACT MINERAL RESOURCES STATEMENT: Weld County has
some of the most abundant mineral resources, including, but not limited to, sand
and gravel, oil, natural gas, and coal. Under title 34 of the Colorado Revised
Statutes, minerals are vital resources because (a) the State's commercial mineral
deposits are essential to the State's economy; (b) the populous counties of the
state face a critical shortage of such deposits; and (c) such deposits should be
extracted according to a rational plan, calculated to avoid waste of such deposits
and cause the least practicable disruption of the ecology and quality of life of the
citizens of the populous counties of the state.
Mineral resource locations are widespread throughout the County and people
moving into these areas must recognize the various impacts associated with this
development. Often times, mineral resource sites are fixed to their geographical
PUDZ21-0001 — Lakota Lakes
Page 9 of 11
and geophysical locations. Moreover, these resources are protected property
rights and mineral owners should be afforded the opportunity to extract the
mineral resource.
43. WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM: Weld County is one of the most productive
agricultural counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties
in the country in total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas
of Weld County may be open and spacious, but they are intensively used for
agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize and accept there
are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural practices and a
lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the
incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural areas: open views,
spaciousness, wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural
atmosphere and way of life. Without neighboring farms, those features which
attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly be gone forever.
Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-
established agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users
into a rural area. Well -run agricultural activities will generate off -site impacts,
including noise from tractors and equipment; slow -moving farm vehicles on rural
roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor from
animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and
mosquitoes; hunting and trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of
nuisance wildlife; and the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including
the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice for agricultural producers to
utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to assist in their
agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials
often produces a visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County.
Section 35-3.5-102, C.R.S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be
found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be
a nuisance employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably
associated with agricultural production.
Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community.
It is unrealistic to assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out
of the way" of residential development. When moving to the County, property
owners and residents must realize they cannot take water from irrigation ditches,
lakes, or other structures, unless they have an adjudicated right to the water.
Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square
miles in size (twice the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three
thousand seven hundred (3,700) miles of State and County roads outside of
municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available
resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on
patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all
emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire
protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and
families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how often
they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved
road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may
not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas,
in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must,
by necessity, be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers.
People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or
suburban setting. Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation
ditches, electrical power for pumps and center pivot operations, high speed
traffic, sand burs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and livestock, and open
burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important, not only
PUDZ21-0001 — Lakota Lakes
Page 10 of 11
for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood.
F. The PUDZ plat shall be submitted to the Department of Planning Services' for recording
within sixty (60) days of approval by the Board of County Commissioners. (Department of
Planning Services)
G. Prior to Construction:
1) If more than one (1) acre is to be disturbed, a Weld County Grading Permit will
be required. (Department of Public Works)

right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not
adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent
place on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive)
intersects a publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application
to the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to
the scheduled Planning Commission hearing. You may view the staff report at https://accela-
