PARCEL #: 131108400008
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
CASE SUMMARY:
The applicants are proposing a 26 lot PUD with Estate Zone uses along with approximately 5.5%
open space and three (3) outlots. A PUD change of zone for 16 lots was approved in 2014. The
applicants are have applied for this PUD to increase the number of lots. The applicants are
requesting a waiver of the 15% common open space requirement and are requesting a waiver
from the minimum lot size requirement of 2.5 acres in the Estate Zone District for 21 of the 26
lots. The applicants are proposing to utilize Central Weld County Water District water and
individual septic systems.
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 27-5-30
of the Weld County Code.
2. The submitted materials are in compliance with Section 27-6-120 of the Weld County Code as
follows:
A. Section 27-6-120.B.6.a - The proposal is consistent with any intergovernmental
agreement in effect influencing the PUD and Chapters 19 (Coordinated Planning
Agreements), Chapter 22 (Comprehensive Plan), Chapter 23 (Zoning), Chapter 24
PUDZ17-0002 PANORAMA ESTATES
(Subdivision) and Chapter 26 (Mixed Use Development) of the Weld County Code.
A. R.Goal 1. Ensure that adequate services and facilities are currently available or
reasonablyâ–º obtainable to serve the residential development or district.
The proposed PUD will be served by public water (Central Weld County Water District)
and onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS).
Section 22-1-120 C. R.Goal 3. Consider the compatibility with surrounding land uses,
natural site features, nearby municipalities' comprehensive plans and general residential
growth trends when evaluating new residential development proposals.
The proposed PUD is located next to an existing subdivision and is adjacent to
residences on recorded exemption lots immediately to the east. The property is located
within the Firestone/Weld County Cooperative Planning Agreement area (IGA) and the
property is designated as Residential Low (which allows single-family residential land
uses) as delineated in the Town the Firestone Master Plan.
Section 22-1-12- F 3. R.Policy 6.3. Roadway and/or pedestrian connections surrounding
properties should be included, where feasible, to ensure connectivity between adjoining
properties as they develop.
The proposed PUD is located in an urban area in that it is adjacent to an existing 30 plus
lot subdivision (Enchanted Hills). The Town of Firestone is located to the northwest of the
site. The Town of Firestone indicated no concerns dated April 10, 2017. The number of
lots proposed and the location next to an existing subdivision makes this an urban scale
development. The adjacent subdivision is an old subdivision with gravel roads and no
sidewalks. Therefore staff is requiring paved roads with gravel shoulders (no sidewalks).
B. Section 27-6-120.B.6.b - The uses which would be allowed in the proposed PUD will
conform with the Performance Standards of the PUD Zone District contained in Article II,
Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code.
Section 27-2-40, Bulk requirements - The applicant has chosen to adhere to the bulk
requirements of the E (Estate) Zone District for the sixteen (16) residential lots with the
exception that Lots 1-8, 11-16 and 19-26 will not meet the 2.5 acre minimum lot size
requirement.
Section 27-6-80.B.7 states: "All urban scale development PUDs containing a residential
element shall provide for a fifteen -percent common open space allocation, unless
otherwise stated in Chapter 26 of this Code."
The number of lots proposed (26) is urban scale. Additionally, the proposed PUD is
located within the Firestone IGA and located adjacent to an existing subdivision. The
15% common open space allocation applies to this PUD.
Section 27-2-60 states "Common open space is defined as any usable parcel of land or
water unimproved and set aside, dedicated, designated or reserved for public or private
use or for the use and enjoyment of owners or occupants of land adjoining or neighboring
such area. Common open space includes landscape areas that are not occupied by
buildings or uses such as storage or service areas, private courtyards, parking lots and
islands. In all PUD districts, except for those containing residential uses, common open
space may include landscape setbacks adjacent to roadways, where the setbacks are
not utilized as parking or storage areas. The amount and type of common open space
provided in a PUD Zone District shall be proportional to the intensity of the zone districts
called for in the PUD or uses specified in the application, unless specifically delineated in
Chapter 26. Common open space shall be designed to be useful to the occupants and/or
PUDZ17-0002 PANORAMA ESTATES
residents of the PUD Zone District for recreational and scenic purposes. Common open
space in the PUD Zone District shall be owned and maintained in perpetuity by an
organization established specifically for such ownership and maintenance purposes."
The applicant is requesting a waiver from the 15% common open space allocation
requirement due to the large lot sizes and location of the proposed PUD. The existing
subdivision to the west is older and does not have common open space. However, this
subdivision was approved and developed prior to the PUD regulations being in place.
There is only 3.79 acres of open space proposed (5.5% common open space) with this
PUD.
Given the number of lots proposed, proximity to an existing subdivision and location with
the Firestone IGA boundary. Staff is recommending that the 15% common open space
be adhered to and provided for this subdivision.
C. Section 27-6-120.B.6.c - That the uses which would be permitted shall be compatible with
the existing or future development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing
Zoning, and with the future development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County
Code or master plans of affected municipalities.
The proposed PUD site is located within the 3 -mile referral areas of the Towns of
Frederick and Firestone. The site is also located within the Cooperative Planning
Agreement boundary between Firestone and Weld County. The Town of Frederick and
Firestone indicated no conflict with their interests in their referrals dated March 27 and
April 10, 2017 respectively.
Staff received one phone call from a surrounding property owner expressing concerns
about traffic and dust generated by the subdivision and impacts on his water pressure.
An improvements and road maintenance agreement is required at the final plan stage.
Additionally, an approved water agreement between the applicant and the water district is
required prior to recording the final plan.
D Section 27-6-120.B.6.d - That the PUD Zone District shall be serviced by an adequate
water supply and sewage disposal system in compliance with the Performance
Standards in Article II the Weld County Code.
The Department of Public Health and Environment, in their referral dated April 13, 2017,
indicates that the applicant has satisfied Chapter 27 in regards to sewer service and
water service. The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in
regard to water service. The Assistant Weld County Attorney has approved the water
source of Central Weld County Water District. A "can serve" letter from the District, dated
August 4, 2016, was included in the application. A referral was submitted to the Colorado
Division of Water Resources. No response has been received from the Division of Water
Resources.
The applicants have indicated that the final plan may have to be done in phases to meet
water district requirements.
The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in regard to sewer
service. Individual on -site wastewater treatment systems will provide sewer for the lots
and a soils report dated November 21, 2016 from Soilogic was included with this
application. The report indicated "Based on results of our completed site and soil
evaluation, we expect conventional On -Site Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) will
PUDZ17-0002 PANORAMA ESTATES
be possible for the majority of the site. Typical gravity -fed chamber systems in a bed or
trench configuration could be considered. Engineered septic system designs will be
required for the northeastern portion of the site due to the relatively shallow depth to
groundwater encountered in that area. Mounded systems could be considered in this
area in order to maintain adequate separation from groundwater."
E Section 27-6-120.B.6.e - That street or highway facilities providing access to the property
are adequate in functional classification, width, and structural capacity to meet the traffic
requirements of the uses of the proposed PUD Zone District.
County Road 17 is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan as a gravel
local road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way at full build out. The applicant shall verify
the existing right-of-way and the documents creating the right-of-way and this information
shall be noted on the plat. All setbacks shall be measured from the edge of future right-
of-way. If the right-of-way cannot be verified, it shall be dedicated. This road is
maintained by Weld County.
F. Section 27-6-120.B.6.f - An off -site road improvements agreement and an on -site
improvements agreement proposal is in compliance with Chapter 24 of the Weld County
Code as amended and a road improvements agreement is complete and has been
submitted, if applicable.
An Improvements Agreement and Road Maintenance Agreement is required prior to
recording the Final map for this site. Road maintenance including dust control, damage
repair, and triggers for improvements will be included.
+G Section 27-6-120.B.6.g - That there has been compliance with the applicable
requirements contained in Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code regarding overlay
districts, commercial mineral deposits, and soil conditions on the subject site.
The site is not located within any overlay district.
Building Permits issued on the proposed lots will be required to adhere to the fee
structure of the County -Wide Road Impact Fee Program.
Building Permits issued on the proposed lots, will be required to adhere to the fee
structure of the County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs.
H Section 27-6-120.6.B.h - Consistency exists between the proposed zone district(s), uses,
the specific or conceptual development guide.
The applicant is requesting that this PUD be approved as a specific development vs. a
conceptual development. In the application and in subsequent conversations with the
applicant, the applicant is requesting a waiver from the 15% common open space
requirement and keep open space at one (1) acre. They are proposing Staff is
recommending that the proposed drainage easements be incorporated as open space
approximately 5.5% of the site as open space. The site was approved for a PUD change
of zone for 16 lots in 2014. At that time staff recommended 8-9% common open space.
However, the applicants are now increasing the number of lots to 26, the site is now
located in the Firestone IGA boundary and the site borders an existing subdivision to the
west. Based on these factors staff is not in support of the open space waiver request and
recommends that the PUD be designed to include 15% common open space.
PUDZ17-0002 PANORAMA ESTATES
The applicant is proposing two (2) outots (outlots B and C) next to Lot B of RE -3912
(located immediately to the southwest of the proposed PUD). In discussions with the
applicant - they wish to provide a method for the property owner (who is not a part of the
PUD) to be able to access the internal roadway for Panorama Estates. The owner of Lot
B already has direct access onto County Road 15.5. Staff has concerns about allowing a
property owner (who is not part of the PUD) being allowed to utilize the internal roadway.
This raises issues such as how will road maintenance costs be paid by a property owner
not a part of the PUD and how can impacts to the internal road be addressed if the owner
of the adjacent lot (or a future party) decides to open a business and have commercial
vehicles utilize the road. Staff is not in support of this and recommends that Outlots B and
C not be indicated on the final plan map.
The staff recommendations on common open space and Outlots B and C will result in
some redesign of the PUD. Staff can review these revisions at the final plan stage
administratively and recommends approval of this PUD as a specific development.
This approval recommendation is based upon compliance with Chapter 27 requirements.

20. RIGHT TO EXTRACT MINERAL RESOURCES STATEMENT: Weld County has
some of the most abundant mineral resources, including, but not limited to, sand
and gravel, oil, natural gas, and coal. Under title 34 of the Colorado Revised
Statutes, minerals are vital resources because (a) the state's commercial mineral
PUDZ17-0002 PANORAMA ESTATES
deposits are essential to the state's economy; (b) the populous counties of the
state face a critical shortage of such deposits; and (c) such deposits should be
extracted according to a rational plan, calculated to avoid waste of such deposits
and cause the least practicable disruption of the ecology and quality of life of the
citizens of the populous counties of the state.
Mineral resource locations are widespread throughout the County and person
moving into these areas must recognize the various impacts associated with this
development. Often times, mineral resource sites are fixed to their geographical
and geophysical locations. Moreover, these resources are protected property
rights and mineral owners should be afforded the opportunity to extract the
mineral resource.
21. WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM: Weld County is one of the most productive
agricultural counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties
in the country in total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas
of Weld County may be open and spacious, but they are intensively used for
agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize and accept there
are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural practices and a
lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the
incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural areas: open views,
spaciousness, wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural
atmosphere and way of life. Without neighboring farms, those features which
attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly be gone forever.
Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-
established agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users
into a rural area. Well -run agricultural activities will generate off -site impacts,
including noise from tractors and equipment; slow -moving farm vehicles on rural
roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor from
animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and
mosquitoes; hunting and trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of
nuisance wildlife; and the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including
the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice for agricultural producers to
utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to assist in their
agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials
often produces a visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County.
Section 35-3.5-102, C.R.S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be
found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be
a nuisance employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably
associated with agricultural production.
Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community.
It is unrealistic to assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out
of the way" of residential development. When moving to the County, property
owners and residents must realize they cannot take water from irrigation ditches,
lakes, or other structures, unless they have an adjudicated right to the water.
Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square
miles in size (twice the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three
thousand seven hundred (3,700) miles of state and county roads outside of
municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available
resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on
patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all
PUDZ17-0002 PANORAMA ESTATES 10
emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire
protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and
families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how often
they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved
road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may
not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas,
in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must,
by necessity, be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers.
People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or
suburban setting. Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation
ditches, electrical power for pumps and center pivot operations, high speed
traffic, sandburs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and livestock, and open
burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important, not only
for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood.
F. In accordance with Weld County Code Ordinance #2012-3, approved April 30, 2012,
should the plat not be recorded within the required one -hundred twenty (120) days from
the date of the Board of County Commissioners Resolution, a $50.00 recording
continuance shall be added for each additional three (3) month period. (Department of
Planning Services)
G. With the Change of Zone plat map, the applicant shall submit a digital file of all drawings
associated with the Change of Zone application. Acceptable CAD formats are .dwg, .dxf,
and .dgn (Microstation); acceptable GIS formats are .shp (Shape Files), Arclnfo
Coverages and Arclnfo Export files format type is .e00. The preferred format for Images
is .tif (Group 4) ... (Group 6 is not acceptable). (Department of Planning Services)

Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on June 6, 2017, at 12:30 p.m.
A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on July 19, 2017 at 10:00
a.m. Both hearings will be held in the Hearing Room, Weld County Administration Building, 1150 O

answer any questions the Planning Commission members or Board of County Commissioners may
have.
Colorado Revised Statute, C.R.S.24-65.5-103 (adopted as part of H.B.01-1088) requires notification of
all mineral estate owners 30 days prior to any public hearing. The applicant needs to provide the Weld
County Planning Department with written certification indicating the above requirement has been met.
A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of ten
days prior to the hearing to post a sign adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road
right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not
adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent place
on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive) intersects a
publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to
the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to the
scheduled Planning Commission hearing. You may view the staff report at

Dear Applicants:
Your application and related materials for the request described above are complete and in order at this
time. I will schedule a meeting with you at the end of the review period to discuss the referral
comments received by our office.
It is the policy of Weld County to refer an application of this nature to any town or municipality lying
within three miles of the property in question or if the property under consideration is located within the
