The Thoroughfare Plan delineates the roads proposed to be upgraded in the future. One of the aspects involved in upgrading a road is the need for acquiring additional right-of-way. It is important that the future right-of-way needs be taken into account in dealing with development occurring today. By planning ahead to reserve projected future right-of-way needs now, the cost of acquiring needed future right-of-way will be minimized. Also the social impacts should be lessened by insuring adequate setbacks from future right-of-way lines for developments occurring now. The future right-of-way needs can be preserved by requiring the distance needed for the future right-of-way to be included as part of the setback regulations in the Zoning Resolution. For the purpose of illustration, the following situation is presented as an example: An application for a building permit for a new residence is made. The parcel is zoned Agricultural necessitating a 50 ' frontyard setback. The parcel fronts onto a county road which is proposed to be upgraded to an arterial in the future as indicated in the Weld County Thoroughfare Plan. The arterial designation requires an addtiional 20' of right-of- way on each side of the existing road right-of-way. Therefore the setback requirement for the new residence would be 70' from the existing right-of- way line. This effectively accommodates the future right-of-way needs for development taking place now. Therefore the Department of Planning Services staff recommends the following explanatory footnote be added to Section 3. 14 of the Weld County Zoning Resolution after the column identified as the "Minimum Front Yard Setback" : (5) The front yard setback shall be measured from the adjacent edge of the right-of-way line of the abutting public road. If the abutting public road is not des- ignated to be upgraded to a higher classification as defined by the Weld County Thoroughfare Plan, the front yard setback shall be measured from the existing right-of-way line of the public road. If the abutting public road is designated to be upgraded to a higher classification as defined by the Weld County Thorough- fare Plan necessitating additional right-of-way, then the setback shall be measured from the future right-of- way line. The future right-of-way line is determined by adding the distance of the additional needed right-of-way to the existing right-of-way line. 70p/ce,! ft ON/ The following is a list of the right-of-way needed for road designations as defined in the Weld County Thoroughfare Plan: a. Arterial or Rural Arterial - 100' Row b. Expressway - 130' Row c. Rural Expressway - 200' Row d. Freeway - 250' Row The future right-of-way line (measured from the centerline of the road) is determined by dividing the needed right-of- way as defined above in half. .BEFORE THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION OF RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMI `.
