IN THE MATTER OF REPEALING AND REENACTING, WITH AMENDMENTS,
CHAPTER 23 ZONING, OF THE WELD COUNTY CODE
Michelle Martin, Planning Services, presented Ordinance 2016-10 and provided a brief description of the
proposed code changes relating to signs.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against the proposed code
changes.
Trevin Bensko-Wecks, Lamar Advertising, 2649 East Mulberry Street, Ft. Collins, Colorado, stated that they
have a sign along Highway 119, west of Interstate 25. He said that digital signage from both a public service
message and also from an advertising perspective works because it enables people to do real time
advertising or community messaging. He added that at the current three hour change limit, the real time is
taken away. He said that they support the proposed code changes.
Commissioner Jemiola asked about adding more repetitions per minute. Ms. Martin stated that they have
proposed these changes to match CDOT's standards. Commissioner Stille asked if there is a limit on the
number of words. Ms. Martin replied no.
Motion: Amend the number of revolutions to six (6) and Forward Ordinance 2016-10 to the Board of County
Commissioners along with the Planning Commission's recommendation of approval, Moved by Jordan
Jemiola, Seconded by Tom Cope.
Vote: Motion passed (summary: Yes = 5, No = 3, Abstain = 0).
Yes: Cherilyn Barringer, Gene Stille, Jordan Jemiola, Terry Cross, Tom Cope.
No: Bruce Sparrow, Joyce Smock, Michael Wailes_
Commissioner Wailes said that he is concerned that multiple governmental agencies have separate sign
revolutions and would rather have the County align with the CDOT's codes.
Commissioner Smock agreed with Mr. Wailes and added that she would like it to remain as proposed.
Meeting adjourned at 3:27 pm.
