2) FIRST READING OF CODE ORDINANCE 2017-03, IN THE MATTER OF REPEALING AND
REENACTING WITH AMENDMENTS, CHAPTER 19 COORDINATED PLANNING AGREEMENTS
(WINDSOR/WELD DESIGN STANDARDS), OF THE WELD COUNTY CODE: Tom Parko, Director of
Planning Services, stated this ordinance deals with common design standards between Weld County
and the Town of Windsor. He stated Weld County's Department of Planning Services, the County
Commissioners, and Windsor officials have met to develop the standards for the past twelve (12) months.
Mr. Parko commented on this ordinance being a good planning tool exercised with local municipalities,
which assists landowners and developers in the growth development portion of Windsor. He further
stated the standards deal with signage, lighting, screening, sight access, and paving of parking lots. He
mentioned the possibility of not including the appendix map, since the maps change and would require
amendments in the future. Instead, he suggested referencing Windsor's website because Windsor's
webpage has the growth management area built into the land use map. No public input was given.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer thanked Mr. Parko for his continuous hard work with the coordinated
agreements. She advised that the two of them would be meeting with the Towns of Firestone and Fort
Lupton today, to see about their possible participation in these common design standards. Mr. Parko
stated there is not notification made to the County when the growth management profile changes, and
realized that leaving the map as the appendix would require notification; therefore, he retracted his
suggestion to leave the appendix map out. Chair Cozad, and Commissioners Freeman and Conway, also
expressed agreement with leaving the map in as an appendix. Each Commissioner expressed
appreciation to Mr. Parko for his diligence. The motion to approve on First Reading, which was made by
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, and seconded by Commissioner Moreno, carried unanimously. Bruce Barker,
County Attorney, advised the Board to takeout the words "as depicted" in the second paragraph of Section
19-6-90.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
Consent Agenda. Code Ordinance #2017-03 was approved on First Reading.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Clerk to the Board.
