From : Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR15-0043 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV15-00033) was noted . This
violation was initiated due to the operation of a commercial trucking operation without first completing the
necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has not been presented to the Weld County Court
Magistrate through the Violation Hearing process. Since this application was submitted prior to an actual
court date being scheduled , NO investigation fee is required .
Due to records release laws, staff no longer tracks complainant information , but please be aware it is
staff's policy to no longer accept staff initiated complaints.
This violation was initiated on March 17, 2015.
If this application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners and once a plat is recorded will
correct this outstanding violation. If this application is denied, all but 1 (one) Commercial Vehicle shall be
removed from the property 30 (thirty) days of denial or the violation will proceed in court accordingly.
