CASE NUMBER: ORDINANCE 2021-06
PRESENTED BY: TOM PARKO
REQUEST: IN THE MATTER OF REPEALING AND REENACTING, WITH AMENDMENTS,
CHAPTER 23 ZONING, OF THE WELD COUNTY CODE.
Tom Parko, Planning Director, presented Ordinance 2021-06, and stated that when they rewrote the zoning
code last year, meat processing was removed from the agricultural zone district and is only permissible in
the industrial zone districts. He added that they didn't anticipate landowners to pursue meat processing on
a bigger scale. Staff has been approached by three landowners in the County that want to do something
bigger than 5000 square feet but not as big as what JBS is doing.
Therefore, the proposed change is to the custom meat processing definition by increasing the size of the
square footage of the building from 5,000 to 30,000 square feet. This change also states that there shall
be no retail sales at the facility. Mr. Parko stated that this would capture some of the people who want to
take their own cattle and process them. This would be permitted through the ZPAG (Zoning Permit for
Certain Ag Uses) permitting process.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
No one wished to speak.
Motion: Forward Ordinance 2021-06 to the Board of County Commissioners along with the Planning
Commission's recommendation of approval, Moved by Tom Cope, Seconded by Butch White. Motion
carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 1:35 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Kristine Ranslem
Secretary
