The proposed development is located outside of the Town's Growth Management Area (GMA) and Community Influence Area (CIA). However, the proposed facility does fall within the Secondary Corridor Area of the Windsor/Greeley intergovernmental agreement (IGA), as amended in 2008. The Town of Windsor and City of Greeley entered into the amended IGA which defined a Cooperative Planning, Land Use and Utility Area (CLUA) as a means to identify and support a land use pattern for the US Highway 34 corridor that would be consistent with the jurisdictions' visions as well as the existing and planned infrastructure in this area. The CLUA defines the Secondary Corridor Area as an area primarily for residential, neighborhood commercial, and other related uses. Therefore, the proposed use is incompatible with this particular vision that the Town of Windsor and City of Greeley have developed for this area. Should the proposed Use by Special Review be approved, the Town of Windsor would respectfully request that the following items be addressed in any conditions of approval: 1. Earth berms and substantial landscape buffers should be incorporated into plans to screen views of industrial uses from US Highway 34, Country Road 13, and from nearby residential uses. 2. Light sources shall be concealed or shielded so as to minimize uplight, spill-light, glare and unnecessary diffusion on neighboring properties.
