REENACTING, WITH AMENDMENTS, CHAPTER 23 ZONING AND CHAPTER 24 SUBDIVISIONS,
OF THE WELD COUNTY CODE: Tom Parko, Department of Planning Services, explained this code
change deals with the floodplain ordinance to be more consistent with the Colorado Water
Conservation Board Requirements, which has a provision that pertains to crawlspaces which came to
light when someone applied for a construction permit. He noted that FEMA and the CWCB both allow
for the construction of crawl spaces, so this change is less restrictive, in line with those guidelines, and
will make builders happy. The floor was opened to public comment and none was forthcoming.

was seconded by Commissioner Garcia, carried unanimously.
