remaining application process.
COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for any Use
permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use or a Use by Special Review Permit in the Commercial or
Industrial Zone Districts (semi -truck parking) provided that the property is not a lot in an approved or
recorded subdivision plat or lots parts of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling
subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
This project is south of and adjacent to CR 50 and is east of and adjacent to CR 57.
Parcel number 105302000021.
Access is from CR 57.
ACCESS
An Access Permit application was not submitted with the application materials. Public Works has reviewed
the submitted materials and provides a recommendation for access locations based on County code and
safety criteria in accordance with the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria. The existing
access point does not meet the safety spacing criteria and shall be relocated to meet the required 330'
distance from the intersection on a locally classified roadway. Questions concerning access requirements
can be directed to Public Works access permit division.
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.
For new accesses and/or change of use of an existing access, the fee and photos are required (photo
looking left and right along roadway from the access point and looking in to and out of the access point).
These photos are used to evaluate the safety of the access location. Access permit instructions and
application can be found at https://www.weldgov.com/departments/public works/permits/. Chapter 6,
Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 of the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria offer access design
guidance, which can be accessed at: https://www weldgov corn/departments/public works/engineerinW.
Per Chapter 12, Appendix 12A.4.1 of the Weld County Code, an access approach that is gated shall be
designed so that the longest vehicle (including trailers) using the access can completely clear the traveled
way when the gate is closed. In no event, shall the distance from the gate to the edge of the traveled surface
be less than 35 feet.
For shared accesses, Public Works strongly recommends the property owner establish an access road
maintenance agreement so future owners of the properties will be aware of their requirements for shared
maintenance of the access road. This is not a requirement, but is recommended to avoid property owner
conflicts in the future.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
County Road 57 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 maintained
by Weld County.
County Road 50 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a(n) collector road, which requires 80 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
maintained by Weld County.
Per Chapter 12, Article 4, Section 12-4-30.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:Ilwww,weldgov.comldepartmentslpublicworks/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 on CR 57 counted 89 vpd with 12% trucks.
Latest ADT on CR 50 counted 429 vpd with 47% trucks.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately 1
daily roundtrips.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
Per Chapter 12, Appendix 12A.10.1, traffic volumes to the proposed facility may require the installation of
a tracking control device and/or a minimum of four inches of compacted recycled asphalt or aggregate road
base. Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public roadways. Temporary
Tracking Control shall be used during construction unless permanent tracking control is installed ahead of
construction activities. Recycled concrete is not allowed in County right-of-way. Tracking control devices
can be double cattle guards or rip rap (6" washed rock). Tracking control for unmaintained public right-of-
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.
Drainage Requirements:
This area IS within a Non -Urbanizing Drainage Area:
Non -Urbanizing Drainage Areas typically require detention of runoff from the 1 -hour, 100 -year, storm falling
on the developed site and release of the detained water at the historic runoff rate of the 1 -hour, 10 -year
storm falling on the undeveloped site for NON -URBANIZING areas.
Detention pond waived and a simple drainage narrative:
A drainage narrative is required and full drainage report and detention pond waived if the site qualifies for
an exception to detention requirements listed below.
The drainage narrative must include at the minimum:
1. Description which exception is being applied for and supporting rationale
2. Where the water originates if it flows onto the property from an offsite source
3. Where it flows to as it leaves the property

5. If there have been previous drainage problems with the property
Exceptions.
1. Exceptions to stormwater detention shall not jeopardize the public health, safety, and
welfare of public and private property. Exceptions shall be supported with a drainage
narrative.
a. No stormwater detention will be required for sites that meet any of the following
conditions. Requirements of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
areas remain applicable.
8) Development of sites where the change of use does not increase the
imperviousness of the site.
MS4:
This site is not in a defined Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (M54) area which is a more urbanized
area with state mandated, higher water quality requirements

are accepted after the planning process is complete (plan recorded). An Early Release Request Form may
be entertained only after the applicant, Public Works and Planning Department have reviewed the referral

depending on referral comments and surrounding property owner concerns. Contact an Engineering

MEMORANDUM
To: Diana Aungst, Planner April 23, 2018
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR18-0031 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV17-00179) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the presence of a commercial trucking operation without first completing the
necessary Weld County Zoning Permits or Building Permits. 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.
Approval of this application by the Board of County Commissioners would correct the outstanding
violations. If this application is denied, the case will continue through the County Court process until all
but 1 (one) Commercial Vehicle (which is allowed as an Accessory Use in the Ag Zone District) are
removed from the property.
