COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for A Use
Permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial
Zone Districts (commercial truck parking) provided that the property is not a lot in an approved or recorded
subdivision plat or lots part of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions
in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
This project is west of and adjacent to CR 49 and is south of CR 22. Parcel number 130713400025.
Access is from CR 49.
ACCESS
An Access Permit application was submitted with the application materials. Public Works will review the
application and provide an access permit and permit number if approved. 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 com/departments/public works/engineering/.
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.
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.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
County Road 49 is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code Ordinance 2017-
01) as an arterial road, which requires a minimum of 140 feet of right-of-way, or 180 feet of right-of-way in
some locations. Weld County is currently in the process of widening this corridor, which is anticipated to be
completed at the end of 2017. Contact Public Works for the location of the current right-of-way alignment
and easements so they can be delineated accurately on the map. If the right-of-way cannot be verified it
shall be dedicated. The applicant shall also delineate the physical location of the road. 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. This road is maintained by Weld County.
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 49 was taken on 3/6/2013 which counted 4640 vpd with 46% trucks.
A traffic narrative was submitted with the application materials and indicated that there will be approximately
3 daily roundtrips. The expected traffic routes are north and south along CR 49 and distribution of traffic is
estimated to be 66.6% to south 33.3% to north.
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. Minimal standards
are listed below. Temporary Tracking Control shall be used during construction unless permanent tracking
control is installed ahead of construction activities.
Less than 20 passenger vehicle round trips/day, no upfront tracking control requirements.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
A. The plan shall be amended to delineate the following:
1. County Road 49 is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map as an arterial
road which typically requires 140 feet of right-of-way at full build out. Weld County is currently in
the process of widening this corridor. The alignment of the road widening project varies along the
section line for the corridor. Contact Public Works for the location of the existing and future right-
of-way and easements and delineate these on the site plan. (Department of Public Works)
2. Show and label the approved access(es) (APXX-XXXXX), and the appropriate turning radii (60')
on the site plan. (Department of Public Works)
3. Show and label the entrance gate if applicable. 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. (Department of Public Works)
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS (NOTES ON THE SITE PLAN)
1. The property owner shall control noxious weeds on the site. (Department of Public Works)
2. The access on the site shall be maintained to mitigate any impacts to the public road including damages
and/or offsite tracking. (Department of Public Works)
3. There shall be no parking or staging of vehicles on public roads. On -site parking shall be utilized.

MEMORANDUM
To: Diana Aungst, Planner July 13, 2017
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR17-0037 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV17-00118) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the presence of multiple commercial vehicles without first completing the
necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has NOT been forwarded to the County Attorney's
Office; therefore, an investigation fee is NOT 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 Department of Planning Services asks that the Board forward
these cases to the County Attorney's Office for legal action through the District Court process, but to delay
that legal action for 30 (thirty) days to allow the applicant time to remove all but 1 (one) Commercial
Vehicle from the property (which would be permissible as an Accessory Use in the Agricultural Zone
District).
