Q INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The Colorado Revised Statutes, Title 31, Article 23, Part 2,
outlines the authority and duties of the Town of Platteville's
Planning Commission to make, amend and carry out a
comprehensive plan for the physical development of
Platteville, Colorado. Per C.R.S. 31-23-207, the Town of
Platteville Comprehensive Plan is considered necessary
for "guiding and accomplishing a coordinated, adjusted,
and harmonious development of the municipality and its
environs."
The Colorado Department of Local Affairs compiled the
following list of potential uses for an adopted comprehensive
plan:
1. A basis for regulatory actions: The plan serves as a
foundation and guide for the provisions of the zoning
regulations, subdivision regulations, the official map,
flood hazard regulations, annexation decisions and other
decisions made under these regulations.
2. A basis for community programs and decision making:
The plan is a guide and resource for the recommendations
contained in a capital budget and program, for a
community development program, and for direction
and content of other local initiatives, such as for water
protection, recreation or open space land acquisition and
housing.
3. A source for planning studies: Few plans can address
every issue in sufficient detail. Therefore, many plans will
recommend further studies to develop courses of action
on a specific need.
4. A standard for review at the County and State level:
Other regulatory processes identify the municipal plan
as a standard for review of applications. Master plans are
important to the development of regional plans or inter -
municipal programs, i.e., a regional trail network or valley -
wide transit program.
S. A source of information: The plan is a valuable source of
information for local boards, commissions, organizations,
citizens and business.
6. A long-term guide: The plan is a long-term guide by
which to measure and evaluate public and private
proposals that affect the physical, social and economic
environment of the community.
PLANNING PROCESS
The 2017 Town of Platteville Comprehensive Plan (Plan) is an
updated summary of Platteville's 2010 Comprehensive Plan
prepared by Community Matters Inc. The 2017 Plan succeeds
the Town's 2010 comprehensive plan as the master plan for
Platteville. The Plan is a direct result of citizen involvement
aimed at creating a planning document that embodies the
Town's vision for its future growth and development.
Public engagement began with a business appreciation
luncheon and community picnic at Platteville's Lincoln Park
on July 21, 2016. A survey to identify community attitudes
and planning preferences was distributed to attendees. The
survey results, along with feedback received from exercises
conducted during the event, helped shape the update of the
Town's comprehensive plan.
A project website — GrowingPlatteville.com — provided
up-to-date information concerning public workshops,
the questionnaire and its results, and draft maps and
project documents as they were produced. An additional
community open house event was held at the South Valley
Middle School on January 25th, 2017, presenting the general
public an opportunity to review and respond to draft Plan
information. A joint work session with the Town Board and
Planning Commission preceded public hearings for each
approval authority.

PLAN THEME: ENVIRONMENT
GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Protect and enhance Platteville's natural environment and scenic beauty of the town and surrounding area, with
particular emphasis on the South Platte River Corridor.
BACKGROUND
Two impeciments to Growth within Platteville's defined
Urban Growth Area (see Vap 1 P anninc 3oundaries) are
the flood prone lands and riparian habitats along the South
Platte and St. Vrain rivers, and the topographic chance on the
east side of US 85. These environmental and topocraphic
constraints are shown on Map 2, Selected Environmental
Conditions.
Map 2 illustrates that there is very little chance topocraphicay
within the Platteville Urban Growth Area. This map provides
General Guidance for infrastructure master planninc; for
example, wastewater system engineers can determine
where lift stations may be needed and what areas can be
served by gravity collection. Extending infrastructure east of
the Platteville Canal/Ditch coes not appear cost effective.
In 2014, the Town 3oard adopted new Flood Damace
Prevention (FDP) regulations, which are cocified as Chapter
14 of the Platteville Municipal Code. Since the adoption of
the FDP, FEVA has updated the Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (AS) for Welc County and
its incorporated areas that establish Special Flood Hazard
Areas within.the Town of Platteville.The preliminary FIRM and
FIS have been finalized and became effective on January 20,
2C16.
All ands within a designated 100 year floodplain are labeled
as Planninc Area 4: Environmental Constrained on Map 3.
With the exception of a portion of the West Farms PUD (which
is set to expire in 2017) and a small area zoned as Parks/Open
Space District on the southwest side of Town, all desicnated
100 year floodplains within Platteville's Urban Growth Area
are currently located on unincorporated lands.
The Three Vile Area Plan (Map 4) and three zoninc
desicnations provide Guidance for land use decisions
associated with future annexation within the Environmental
Constrained Planning Area:
❑ Agricultural/Holdinc (A -H)
❑ Environmentally Constrained Residential/Recreation
District (ECRR)
Parks/Open Space District (P -OS)
Lanc within the floodplain that is intended to remain
in agricultural production or is too expensive to extend
centralized services could be zoned as A -H. Land that
can potentially be elevated out of the flood plain and
developed at a rural density or used for recreational facilities
anc amenities could be zoned either ECRR or P -OS. Land
containinc riparian habitat within a desicnated floodplain
should not be developed and therefore should be zoned as
P -OS.
Note that all floodplains shown on Vaps 2, 3 and 4 are for
representative purposes only. Weld County GIS and/or FEMA
should be contacted for detailed maps showinc current
floodplain bouncaries.

PLAN THEME: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Attract and retain a broad range of commercial and industrial businesses that provide local employment
opportunities and meet the needs of Platteville residents.
BACKGROUND
Platteville is locatec within the Economic Development
Corporation boundaries known as Upstate Colorado
Economic Development (Upstate). This is a 4,000 square
mile area synonymous with the Greeley/Weld Vetropolitan
Statistical Area @VSA), one of the fastest growing IVSA's in the
Unitec itec States.
•
t arts
aillagagileillikalNisrapa
•
This entire area is involved with renewable energy, agriculture
and food processing, oil and gas extraction, business services
and a variety of manufacturing. With the University of
\orthern Colorado and Aims Community Col ece located in
Greeley and Fort Lupton, and Colorado State University and
the University of Colorado within easy drives, Platteville has
access to leadinc edge research and a skilled workforce.
The Welc County Enterprise Zone is administered by Upstate
Colorado. The Enterprise Zone appears to include all of the
developed areas of Platteville and a larce portion oftheTown's
growth area to the north and east. 3usinesses considering
locating within the Enterprise Zone are eligible for a variety
of state income tax credits based on their specific activities,
primarily in equipment investment, job creation/training,
and research and development activities.
Upstate also administers the Weld/Larimer Revolving Loan
Func.The RLF can provide short-term financing for up to 45%
of project costs and may assume a second or third collateral
position in order to leverace other lender involvement. The
minimum loan is $50,000 and the typical term is 5-7 years.
The Town's location alone US 85 with adjacent railroads
provides unique opportunities for industries needing access
to both rail and a limited access US Highway. Rail service
is provided oy the Union Pacific Corporation. There are
additional rail companies that serve the region including
the 3\SF Railway Corporation, and Great Western Railway of
Colorado LLC, a Windsor -based division of OmniTRAX Inc.
An available and diverse housing supply is critical to
attracting employers seeking to house their workforce.
Platteville offers entry level and move -up housing in price
ranges a-ordaole for working families. 55 new single family
homes recently constructed in the Rodger's Farm subdivision
sold out quickly. Platteville has additional platted lots zoned
and ready for development, such as the Platte River Farms
suodivision on the south side of town.
With its location to the nearby Fort Vasquez monument site,
Platteville has the potential to attract heritage tourism. The
Fort Vasquez Vuseum on US 85 is undergoing renovations
that will focus on the themes of trade, travel, and migration
in Colorado. The Platteville Pioneer Vuseum in the center
of Platteville offers a complimentary experience for tourists
seeking historical information on Colorado's settlement.

�PLAN THEME: GROWTH MANAGEMENT
GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Retain Platteville's small town, rural character by guiding growth and new development into appropriate
locations while maintaining distinct community edges with abundant open lands.
BACKGROUND
The Planning Areas map (Map 3) establishes four planning
areas: Stable Urban, Developing Urban, Rural Protection, and
Environmental Constrained. These planning areas form the
core of the Plan and are described as follows:
PLANNING AREA 1: STABLE URBAN
Planning Area 1 is comprised of the majority of land within
the Platteville municipal boundaries. The Stable Urban area is
characterized by the location of Platteville's economic center
and historic downtown core, and the availability of municipal
services and infrastructure. Existing and future land use is
guided by the Town's Official Zoning Map and development
regulations. A downtown study completed concurrent with
this Plan update provides recommendations for streetscape
improvements and pedestrian connections.
PLANNING AREA 2: DEVELOPING URBAN
Planning Area 2 is comprised of areas where future urban
growth and development is desired, either contiguous to
Planning Area 1 along the US 85 corridor or in concentrated
nodes along the SH 66 corridor. The Developing Urban
areas are characterized by their contiguity with the Stable
Urban area and associated proximity to the potential
future extension of municipal infrastructure and services.
Annexation and recommendations for future land use is
guided by the Three Mile Area Plan (pages 21-24).
PLANNING AREA 3: RURAL PROTECTION
Planning Area 3 is primarily comprised of agricultural land
holdings and some existing large lot residences. The Rural
Protection area is characterized by its rural lifestyle, vast
open spaces and mountain vistas. While most of this area is
currently unincorporated, people living here tend to identify
as belonging to the Platteville community. It is intended
to serve as a community separator, with limited extension
of municipal infrastructure and services. Annexation and
recommendations for future land use is guided by the Three
Mile Area Plan (pages 21-24).
PLANNING AREA 4: ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINED
Planning Area 4 is comprised of the designated one -hundred
year flood plains for the South Platte and St. Vrain rivers, and
land east of the Platteville Canal/Ditch that is topographically
constrained. Like Planning Area 3, the majority of the
Environmental Constrained area is rural in character, with
limited services and no planned extension of municipal
infrastructure. These planning areas represent significant
value to current and future residents in terms of open space,
trail systems, passive recreation, flood control, water quality
and water supply. Annexation and recommendations for
future land use is guided by the Three Mile Area Plan (pages
21-24).
As this Plan is advisory only, its successful implementation
is largely dependent on enforcing the Town's land use
regulations, which include Chapter 14 Flood Damage
Prevention, Chapter 15 Annexation, Chapter 16 Zoning and
Chapter 17 Subdivision.

0THREE MILE AREA PLAN
INTRODUCTION
Annexation of unincorporated land into an incorporated
municipality is an acreement between a willing land owner
and a willing local Government. Exceptions may include
either 1) single parcels that are eligible for annexation as
an enclave, or 2) multiple parcels that are suoject to an
annexation election. In most cases the Town is approachec
by a land owner interested in annexation to Platteville.
Votivations typically include access to the Town's water
system, obtaining other municipal services, and the potential
for higher density or intensity of property development. An
annexation petition is submitted, often with a pre -annexation
acreement negotiated in advance. The technical process of
annexation is governed oy procedures contained in state
statute.
The Town of Platteville Three -Vile Area Plan is prepared to
comply with C.R.S. 31-12-105(1)(e)(I), as follows:
...Prior to the completion of any annexation within the
three-mile area, the municipality shall have in place a plan for
that area, which generally cescribes the proposed location,
character, and extent of streets, subways, bridges, waterways,
waterfronts, parkways, playgrounds, squares, parks, aviation
fields, other public ways, Grounds, open spaces, public utilities,
and terminals for water, light, sanitation, transportation, and
power to be provided by the municipality and the proposed
land uses for the area. Such plan shall be updated at least
once annually..."
LOCATION, EXTENT AND CHARACTER OF THREE-MILE
AREA
The proposed location, extent and character of relevant plan
components include but are not limited to:
STREETS
Proposed street improvements within theThree-Mile Area are
identified in three recently completed studies that address
transportation needs: the Platteville Comprehensive Plan, the
2040 Regional Transportation Plan, the US Highway 85 Access
Control Plan and the Weld County 2035 Transportation Plan.
Specific improvements include an intersection redesign at
SH 60 and US 85, and several proposed major and minor
collector streets.
UTILITIES
Platteville receives its potable water from Central Weld
County Water District. 3ased on an analysis by KBN Enc ineers,
the Town "appears to have suircient water"to meet demand.
The wastewater collection system in Platteville is at or near
capacity in several locations. Proposed wastewater system
improvements are identifiec in the Platteville Waste Water
Utility Vaster Plan.
OPEN SPACES, PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS
Open space includes land areas that due to their
e nvironmental constraints are very unlikely to develop,
including lands that are within the defined floodplain where
there is evidence of significant riparian habitat. Park and
recreational faci ities such as playgrounds are proposed in
close proximity to established residential neighborhoods,
schools and cultural facilities and/or pedestrian ways and
trails.
PROPOSED LAND USE
The proposed land use for the Three -Mile Plan Area is
classified into the following ten categories:
AGRICULTURE/HOLDING
The Agricultural/Holding land use classification is intended
to encourage the sustainability of the regional acricultural
and energy economy, discourage leapfroc development and
e nsure that land develops in a systematic and cost conscious
manner. Non -ac ricultural or non -energy uses and densities
for this lanG will be re-examined if and when urban levels
of service can serve the land designated as Agricultural/
Ho ding. Prior to annexation, the concept is to allow one
dwelling unit per existing parcel.
ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSTRAINED RESIDENTIAL/
RECREATION
The ECRR category represents land that is currently within
the designated floodplain but does not include lands with
sicnificant riparian habitat. Intensive development is unlikely
due to the extent of the floodplain, but with careful planning,
there may be portions of this designated flood plain that
can be developed at a very low density and can provide a
valuable open space while protecting the floodplain.
RESIDENTIAL
The Residential category is established to provide areas in
the community where residential development is desired.
This land use designation is designed to promote a ranee of
housing types and densities, located off collector streets and
in close proximity to the regional and local trail system.
COMMERCIAL
This land use classification is intended to accommodate
retail establishments such as a Grocery store, pharmacy,
franchise restaurants, and professional services. These areas
may accommodate small to mid -size shopping centers
that provide a mixture of goods, services, and employment
o pportunities for residents of the area. Larger retail centers
should be located in close proximity to US 85 and SH 60, as
this type of retail development generates a high number of
vehicle trips and can serve the residents of the area as well as
the traveling public.
21
2017 Town of Platteville Com • rehensive Plan
THREE MILE AREA PLAN
COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL
This land use district is intended to promote the
development of local employment and commercial services.
Uses appropriate for this land use classification include: oil
and gas support services, light manufacturing, research and
development facilities, repair and equipment shops, office/
warehouse facilities, auto service and repair, and home
building support services.
ANNEXATION POLICIES
The following seven annexation policies are intended to
ensure the logical extension of the Town boundaries, so that
Platteville will expand in a directed and fiscally sound manner
while maintaining separation between area communities.
1. Promote new development and redevelopment on
already annexed and underdeveloped land within the
existing Town limits.
With less than 40% of Platteville's incorporated area
currently built -out, there is available residential,
commercial and industrial zoned land within existing
Town limits.
2. Undertake complete, or at least phase the annexation of
enclaves and other areas that are largely surrounded by
the Town in order to avoid the problems associated with
different law enforcement agencies responding to calls,
different zoning requirements, and provision of water
and sewer service.
There are currently at least four unincorporated enclaves
that have been surrounded by Town boundaries for
at least three years. Three years is the minimum time
requirement that a municipality may unilaterally annex
an enclave without property owner consent.
3. Strategic annexations are encouraged, ifsuch annexations
provide greater land use control to the Town of Platteville
and protect the Town's growth options.
The annexation of properties along SH 66 and into the
southwest portion of the Town's UGA would, in the
absence of an IGA with the Town of Firestone, serve to
secure the Town's Urban Growth boundary.
4. Evaluate annexations based upon their impact on
the local tax base and value to the residents of the
community.
The annexation of county roads would involve costs
associated with future road maintenance, whereas
annexations of SH 60, 66 and US 85 would still be
maintained by CDOT. A fiscal impact analysis is
recommended when considering any annexation
petition.
5. Plan for and guide the timing and suitability of
development outside the Town boundaries through
annexation guidelines and intergovernmental
agreements with Weld County and all communities
within the area so that development will be compatible
with Platteville's standards and policies.
The negotiation of an IGA with the Town of Firestone
that establishes planning and annexation parameters -
similar to existing IGA's with Mead, Milliken, Gilcrest and
Fort Lupton - would provide a complete set of regional
municipal planning coordination tools.
6. Base approval of annexation proposals on a cost -benefit
analysis. An increased tax base shall not be the sole
determinant, but shall be a major objective in ensuring
services and facilities desired by Platteville citizens that
are financially supported and achieve stated land use
policies.
Typically the annexation of property that has potential
for commercial and/or industrial development will
provide a greater cost benefit to the Town than the
annexation of agricultural or residential properties.
Certain annexations should be considered for long-term
strategic positioning, e.g., the annexation of an individual
agricultural property via a "flagpole" would not be a net
gain in terms of the Town's tax base, yet may lead to
future annexations that collectively would result in a net
gain to the Town's tax base.
7. All annexations shall continue to be accompanied by
an annexation agreement ensuring that the annexation
pays its own way and does not burden current taxpayers.
Pre -annexation agreements can be customized for
individual property owners. Annexation agreements
provide the ability to incentivize annexation, often with
zoning designation and the timing for service provision
key elements of negotiation.

GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Provide for an efficient, safe, continuous and connected transportation system. Guiding Principle: Provide for an
efficient, safe, continuous and connected transportation system.
BACKGROUND
C.R.S. 31-23-212 allows Colorado municipalities to develop
a street plan for up to three miles outside the Town
boundaries. The Three Vile Street Plan (Nap 5) recommends
the extension and improvement of Platteville's existing
system of roads and hichways to provide a hierarchical Grid
of north/south and east/west connectors. This hierarchical
series of roadways will allow for the efficient movement of
automobiles from neichborhood to neichborhood, from
neichborhood to commercial areas, from neichborhood to
major hichways and arterials, and from major arterial to major
arterial to and through Platteville. The efficiency of Platteville's
transportation network is dependent upon the size, safety,
and quality of these roads in relation to their function to the
community and the region.
The Three Vile Street Plan represents a long-term plan to
provide better connectivity to all land uses within Platteville's
Urban Growth Area (UGA). It provides a transportation
framework, which will serve as the basis for a more detailed
Vajor Transportation Plan and capital improvements plan for
the UGA. The intent of this Three Nile Street Plan is to define
major transportation corridors that will be needed in future
years to support development within the UGA. The Three
Vile Street Plan will be implemented over time, as Growth
in the area requires additional transportation infrastructure.
Construction of needed transportation corridors will require
a combination of public and private funding. The location
of these streets is conceptual only. Prior to imp ementinc
any street connection, exact street alignments must be
determined through detailed engineering studies, plans, and
approval by appropriate Government agencies. The Town has
developed detailed street standards that depict the rig ht -of -
way requirements, lane widths, median width, bicycle lanes,
and sidewalk dimensions for its road network. Engineering
details for all streets within Platteville can be found in the
Town of Platteville Public Works Manual.
CDOT controls three hichways in Platteville's UGA: US 85,
SH 60, and SH 66. Improvements for these highways are
identified in the State Transportation Improvement Program
(STIP). The 2040 Regional Transportation Plan for the Upper
Front Rance Transportation Planning Region identifies US 85
as a priority corridor Given the recional importance of this
corridor. Relocation/realignment improvements for the US
85 frontage road in Platteville is ranked 4th, and is estimated
to be a $6 million project. The US 85 Access Control Plan and
Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study recently
completed by CDOT identified five (5) intersections in
Platteville's UGA that have known problems: WCR 30, SH 66,
Varion Avenue, WCR 32, and WCR 34.
US 85 running through Platteville is designated as a
hazardous materials route. Hazardous materials are defined
as a substance or material which has been determinec to
be capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety,
and property when transported in commerce, and which has
been designated as hazardous under section 5103 of Federal
hazardous materials transportation law.
Weld County is responsible for maintaining the County road
system. Weld County has significant oil well activity, and
as a result, trucks carrying oil well production utilize nearly
every road in the county. In 2010, the 3oard of County
Commissioners designated all county roads as "local pick-up
and delivery" truck routes for oil production purposes. Weld
County's 2035 Transportation Plan depicts collector road
classifications on WCR 28 west of US 85 to WCR 21 and north
to SH 66, and on WCR 32 west to Vain St., north to WCR 34
and then west out of Platteville.
A critical issue associated with the Platteville's Central
3usiness Zoning district is the inability of restaurants and
other businesses in downtown Platteville to meet parking
and landscaping requirements. In 2015, the Town prepared
a parking analysis to estimate downtown parking demand
and the potential improvements needed to enhance on -
street parkins supply. The analysis resulted in amendments
to the Town's zoning regulations that allow properties within
the C3D to be evaluated for parking requirements on a case -
by -case basis with on -street parking considered as a solution
to on -site parkins requirements.

PLAN THEME: SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Provide public services and infrastructure in a cost-effective manner that accommodates new growth while
enhancing Platteville's quality of life.
BACKGROUND
Town services induce administration, finance, utility billing,
police, municipal court, planning, recreation and pug is
works. The Puolic Works Department is responsible for
maintenance of streets and sidewalks, water and sewer
systems, parks, and the Vizpah Cemetery. The transportation
system is ciscussed on page 25. Parks and recreation facilities
are described on page 33. This plan theme focuses primarily
on the Town's water, wastewater and drainace systems.
Platteville's water service is subject to the Water Service
Agreement between the Town and the Central Weld County
Water District (CWCWD). The Town owns sufficient water
shares of Co orado-3ic Thompson project water to meet its
contractual requirements with CWCWD. Platteville receives
its potable water from CWCWD throuch a master meter. The
Town's water distribution system consists of 4 -inch, 6 -inch,
8 -inch, 10 -inch, and 12 -inch waterlines. Storage is provided
in a 0.50 million Callon and a 1.0 -million Callon steel tanks
located at the cemetery.
The North Front Rance Water Quality P anninc Association
(\FRWQPA) has the responsibility of developing the Area
Wide Water Quality Vanagement Plan (also referred to as the
208 plan). The 208 Wastewater Utility Service Area (WUSA)
boundary outlines the areas for which Platteville will be
responsible to provide wastewater service in the foreseeable
future. Platteville is identified as part of the Platteville -St.
Vrain Sanitation District Coordination Area in the 208 Plan.
In May 2012, the Town received approval from \FRWQPA for
a plan amend Tent which acknowledged the shared area
between the Town and the St. Vrain Sanitation District, as well
as expanded the Town's overall WUSA boundary. Platteville's
Urban Growth Area boundary is substantially consistent with
the amended WUSA boundary.
Platteville's wastewater collection system delivers wastewater
to the Town's treatment facility located at Weld County
Road 32-1/2 and Sterkel Boulevard. The wastewater system
consists of Gravity sewer lines and three lift stations, and is
at or near capacity in several locations. In 2010 the Town
completed a Utility Plan that outlines the approach the town
will take to address future needs. It is anticipated that the
lagoon system at the treatment facility will not meet effuent
ammonia permit limits at the next permit renewal cycle
which shoulc be 5 years. The Town is considering interim
measures to improve lagoon performance.
Platteville's major stormwater system consists of a connected
series of pipes that are located in Grand Avenue from Main
Street to a point just west of the Farmers Independent Ditch.
Storm water flows in an open channel to the South Platte
River. The stormwater system in Grand Avenue ranges
from 24 -inch to 48 -inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe.
Platteville completed a Storm ;rainace Vaster Plan (SDN/P)
in 2016. The newly completed SDVP does not address the
special flood hazard areas or 100 -year flood plain of the South
Platte River. It does assess current drainace conditions and
provides short and lone term recommendations regarcinc
needs, cost and priorities associated with storm drainage
improvements and future development.
The purpose of the Town's Capital Improvement Plan is to
identiy and monitor revenue sources in order to provide
funding for various infrastructure projects and assets. The
3oard of Trustees and management staff identiy and
incorporate prioritized projects into the annual budget
process. The revenue sources to fund these projects include
but are not limited to: Use Tax Fund, Park Impact Fund,
Storm Drainage Impact Fund, Transportation Impact Fund,
Police Impact Fund, Public Facilities Impact Fund, Sidewalk
Vaintenance Fund, Overweight/Oversize Vehicle Fund,
Conservation Trust fund, Veterans Memorial Fund, Law
Enforcement Equipment & Training Fund and Grant Funding

4 PLAN THEME: COMMUNITY CHARACTER
GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Foster community pride and establish a strong sense of place by preserving cultural resources, enhancing
Platteville's image and revitalizing its downtown core.
BACKGROUND
Platteville was founded in 1871, after the Denver Pacific
Railroad arrived. The community's origins can be traced back
even further to the 1830's with the establishment of nearoy
Fort Vasquez, an important fur trading post. The South Platte
River's fertile valley initially provided for potato farming
and continues with cattle and poultry raising. Platteville's
agricultural heritage is memorialized at the Platteville Pioneer
Museum and celebrated curing the annual Harvest Daze
event.
Retaining a small town atmosphere is a core value of
Platteville's residents. Physical attributes that contribute to
Platteville's small town atmosphere include surrounding
agricultural lands, mountain vistas, clean air, quiet
n eighborhoocs and a compact downtown. Enhancing
Platteville's identity and improving the quality of resicential
n eighborhoods and the downtown core were key issues
identified during the Plan update.
Concurrent with the preparation of this Plan, several
University of Colorado students from the Colorado Center for
Community Developments' University Technical Assistance
(UTA) program prepared preliminary designs for improving
the visual appearance of downtown Platteville. Two phases
of improvements were identified:
Phase 1 focuses on the improving the quality of sidewalks
and intersections alone Main Street. Improvements include:
❑ Widening sidewalks to 8 -10 feet
❑ A 4 foot wide landscape amenity strip at curb, for future
lichtinc and planters
Sump outs at intersections
❑ Pedestrian lighting
❑ Shade trees
Phase 2 improvements build on making downtown Platteville
more attractive to pedestrians and retail development:
3anners, benches, and beautification

Signace and branding
Plaza and splash pads

°PLAN THEME: PARKS AND RECREATION
GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Provide a coordinated and continuous system of parks, trails, and recreation that serves the present and future
needs of Platteville residents.
BACKGROUND
Park and recreation facilities are areas used for outdoor
recreational activities and include publicly owned and
managed developed parkland, recreation facilities and
undeveloped land utilized for passive and active recreational
purposes. Park and recreational facilities owned and
maintained by the Town of Platteville include:
❑ Community Center Complex
❑ Coronado Park
❑ Lincoln Park
❑ Riverview Park
❑ Rodger's Farm Park
The Community Center Complex is located at 508 Reynolds
Avenue, just west of Division Boulevard.The complex consists
of a number of amenities including a community center,
two regulation ball fields (one fully lit for night games), a
seasonally operated concession stand, mud volleyball courts,
horseshoe pits, and a fenced off -leash exercise area for pets.
Coronado Park is located south ofSH 66along !Vain Street in the
Bella Vista Subdivision. Coronado Park includes a playground,
picnic tables and benches. Planned improvements at
Coronado Park include expanded parking areas, additional
landscaping and practice fields for recreational sports.
Lincoln Park is located adjacent to the Platteville Public
Library and the Pioneer Museum west of Division Boulevard
between Marion Avenue and Elizabeth Avenue. Lincoln Park
amenities include a large playground, park benches, and
covered shelters with barbecue grills and picnic tables.
Riverview Park is located between Ann's Place and Main
Street, and Salisbury Avenue and Byers Avenue. Riverview
Park is home to the Skate Park and has picnic tables, benches,
a covered shelter, playground equipment and a large open
field often used for practice for any of the field sports offered
by the Town's Recreation Department.
Rodger's Farm Park in the Rodger's Farm Subdivision on the
northwest side of town is Platteville most recent planned
recreation area. Plans for the park include covered shelters
with picnic tables, barbecue grills and benches, playgrounds,
walking paths and practice field.
Future park and recreational facilities should be located in
close proximity to established residential neighborhoods,
schools and cultural facilities and/or pedestrian ways and
trails. To help fund future park improvements, the Town
collects a parks and recreation impact fee, currently set at
$1,538 per new dwelling unit constructed.
The South Platte River Corridor Plan completed in 2013
identifies locations for developing trails, parks, outdoor
classrooms and recreation sites along a 15 mile section of the
South Platte River between Platteville and Milliken.Two major
trail elements are proposed; the first is the main Platteway
Trail that follows the river and connects to the regional Front
Range Trail, and the second is the Platte Valley Trail network
linking towns, rural areas and other destinations. Another
implementation objective is to develop a trailhead access
point near Justin Avenue with parking, a boater put -in, and a
restroom and picnic facility.

Special thanks to the Colorado Department of Local Affairs for their generous grant assistance, and to everyone
in Platteville who completed a survey or participated in one or more of the community events associated with
the project. The Town wishes to acknowledge the contributions of those citizens and consultants involved in the
original 2010 Platteville Comprehensive Plan that preceded this Plan update.
