REVIEW PROGRAM: Tom Parko, Director of Planning Services Mr. Parko is going to review some of the code changes taking place, specifically dealing with the Oil and Gas Industry. In the past, the Oil and Gas Industry has been considered "use by rights" and permitted through the COGCC. Weld County is recognizing that the COGCC may be usurping local control and with the support of the BOCC, the Department of Planning is in the process of commenting and developing new codes to manage the Oil and Gas operations within Weld County. Weld County's new process would be a 6 Step Process. The first step would be a pre application process, the second step would be submitting the application, the third step would involve the initial notice, referrals, and consultation and meeting by operator, the fourth step would be the administrative consideration and the approval or set for hearing, the fifth step would be the Planning Commission Hearing and the final step would be the Board of County Commissioners Hearing. Another code change is a Water Transmission code change and the BOCC is actively discussing the prospect. &1m f"a2 ta) 2016-1548 S-9-40/6 Weld County Council February 22,2016 Minutes PUBLIC COMMENT: OLD BUSINESS: None at this time.
