GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Use Permit for any Use permitted
as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone
Districts (Automotive Body Shop), provided that the property is not a lot in an approved or recorded

subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
This project is south of and adjacent to CR 44 and is west of and adjacent to CR 35 1/2.
Parcel number 105713300067.
This parcel currently has three (3) accesses. One access is from CR 44, which is comprised of a 110' wide
gravel driveway adjacent to a 30' wide asphalt driveway. A second access is from the edge of the road
radius that ties the western edge of CR 35 1/2 to the northern edge of CR 44. A third access (a 40' wide
gravel drive) is from CR 35 1/2.
ACCESS
Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access. None of the three
accesses meet Weld County Code for access separation, nor do they comply with recommended access
widths and radii. See the tables below for Weld County criteria regarding access separation, access width
and access radii.

Per Chapter 12, Article 5, Section 12-5-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County
maintained roadways. We strongly encourage you to discuss your access with Public Works prior to laying
out your site plan to ensure the approved accesses are compatible with your layout. Per Chapter 12, Article
V, Section 12-5-30. F, 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 Appendix Table 12A-2. Please refer

delineate on the site map or 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, Chapter 23, Article III, Section 23-3-50, 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 35 1/2 is a gravel road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map
(Code Ordinance 2017-01) as a(n) local road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall
delineate on the site map or 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, Chapter 23, Article III, Section 23-3-50, 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

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 on CR 44 counted 1,720 vpd with 40% trucks.
Latest ADT on CR 35 1/2 counted 43 vpd with 37% trucks.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately
five (5) passenger car/pickup daily roundtrips.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY

way is required just prior to entering publicly maintained roadways. A variance request for alternatives to
the tracking control requirement can be submitted to Public Works for review and consideration.
Less than 20 passenger vehicle round trips/day, no upfront tracking control requirements.

Dear Mr. Ogle,
Thank you for referring project USR18-0092 to Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD) for
review. Water service is provided to parcel 105713300067 through residential tap #1065.
All commercial taps are subject to District backflow prevention requirements. Because commercial
activity is proposed at this location, the applicant must contact our office to complete a survey of the
tap holder's water usage practices. If it is determined that a backflow prevention device is
necessary, our backflow technician will determine the exact requirements for the applicant's
property, as instructions for installation will be specific to the property.
If you should need anything further, please contact the District.
Thank you,
