Final Plat PUD (1-9 Lots) $1, $100 Board of County Commissioners per buildable lot Utility Advisory Board PUD (10+ Lots) $3, $100 per buildable lot $ $10.00 each additional page Plat recording Each Subdivision application and buildable lot will be assessed an additional 30% fee if the site is located in an Urban Growth Boundary, Urban development node, Intergovernmental defined growth area, and/or a mixed use land area, also for Urban Scale developments outside an urban area. Fees are non-refundable and due at time of application submittal. Fees are set by the Board of County Commissioners by Resolution. County Staff is not authorized to negotiate fees and cannot, under any circumstance, change, reduce, or amend the fees set forth in the Weld County Planning Fee Schedule. * The application shall be referred to any municipality or county governing body within a three mile radius of the parcel under consideration for a PUD. * Colorado Geological Survey Application Fees: All Sketch Plan applications will be submitted to the Colorado Geological Survey for review along with the required geologic maps and investigation reports. The following fee shall be collected by the Department of Planning Services at the time the Sketch Plan is submitted. As the fee will be forwarded, please make checks payable to the Colorado Geological Survey. Very Small Residential Subdivisions: 1-3 dwellings and <100 acres. Cost = $ Small Subdivision Review: Subdivisions with >3 dwellings and <100 acres. Cost = $ Large Subdivision Reviews: Subdivisions with >100 acres and <500 acres. Cost = $ Very Large Subdivision Review: Five hundred acres or more. Cost =$ Although most reviews listed above will fall within the estimated time and costs built into the listed standard charges, it is necessary, in fairness to all users, to provide for those cases that will incur excess review costs. The Colorado Geological Survey will contact the local planner if it is evident that additional review costs will be requested. The applicant is responsible for all fees associated with the geological review. Excess time or travel charges will be made for those expenditures in excess of the normal range of review time (maximum 6.75 hours on small reviews or 8.75 hours for large reviews), or for extensive travel related to a particular case.

2 * An additional investigation fee shall be added to the cost of the permit application when specific land, uses, buildings, manufactured homes, mobile homes, and structures that require a permit by the Weld County Code are located, moved, operated, or constructed prior to obtaining a permit. The investigation fee shall be fifty percent of the fee, established by separate action by the Board of County Commissioners for land-use applications. The payment of such investigation fee shall not relieve any persons from fully complying with the requirements of the Weld County Code, nor from any other penalties. * Site Plan Review applications may also be required for commercial, industrial and/or residential R-2, R-3 and R- 4 districts following completion of the PUD process. PURPOSE The purpose of this packet is to provide general information to an applicant about the Planned Unit Development (PUD) application process. It is not intended to be a substitute for the specific requirements of the Weld County Code, Chapter 27. It is the responsibility of the applicant to be knowledgeable of the specific requirements of the Weld County Code, Chapter 27 for the PUD application process. INTENT AND APPLICABILITY The PUD District is intended to allow an alternative method for property owners to apply flexibility in developing their land which may not be possible under the Subdivision application procedure. The PUD process encourages innovation in residential, commercial and industrial development and the conservation and more efficient use of open space in the development. STEP 1: PUD SKETCH PLAN The Department of Planning Services shall be responsible for processing all PUD Sketch Plan applications in the unincorporated areas of Weld County in accordance with Sections and , of the Weld County Code. The Department of Planning Services may request additional information, application packets and/or fees that will aid in the review of the Sketch Plan application. STEP 2: PUD CHANGE OF ZONE The Department of Planning Services shall be responsible for processing all PUD Change of Zone applications in the unincorporated areas of Weld County in accordance with Section of the Weld County Code. The Department of Planning Services' Staff shall prepare comments for use by the Planning Commission addressing all aspects of the application. The Planning Commission shall hold a hearing to consider the application. The Planning Commission shall provide a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners concerning the disposition of the requested zone change. The Board of County Commissioners shall hold a public hearing to consider the Change of Zone application and to take final action thereon. It is recommended that the applicant attend all hearings scheduled for consideration of the Change of Zone application in order to present the proposal and answer questions of the involved governing bodies. Step 3: PUD FINAL PLAN In the event that Planning Services determines that the Final Plan submittal is consistent with the Sketch Plan and Change of Zone submittals, and a Specific Development Guide was submitted at the Change of Zone application, the Final Plan shall be administratively reviewed by the Department of Planning Services in accordance with Section B.2 of the Weld County Code if the Board of County Commissioners granted the administrative review at the Change of Zone. In the event that the Planning Services determines that the Final Plan submittal is not consistent with the Sketch Plan and Change of Zone applications or if a Conceptual Development Guide was submitted at the Change of Zone application, the Board of County Commissioners shall hold a hearing to consider the Final Plan in accordance with Section D

11 Colorado Geological Survey Application/Fees All Plans submitted for review shall be accompanied with a geology report containing information on the specific items herein. This report will be reviewed by agencies to evaluate the area being subdivided or developed. Five copies of this report shall be submitted to the Department of Planning Services, including all supporting documentation, including maps. The soils and geology report shall be prepared by a professional geologist, as defined by State statutes. The following concerns shall be fully addressed. If any of these items are addressed in other reports, refer to these reports appropriately. It is recognized that certain geologic interpretations cannot be firm or complete, at least in advance of grading operations, but it is expected that all pertinent data will be presented fully and clearly, so that interpretations and recommendations can be critically reviewed by others. 1. Mapping A detailed large-scale map normally will be required for a report on a tract, as well as for a report on a smaller area which the geologic relationships are not simple. Where three-dimensional relationships are significant but cannot be described satisfactorily in words alone, the report should be accompanied by one or more appropriately positioned structure sections. The locations of test holes and specific sources of subsurface information should be indicated in the text of the report, or better, on the map and any sections that are submitted with the report. 2. General information Each report should include definite statements concerning the following matters: A. Location and size of the subject area and its general setting with respect to major geographic and geologic features. B. Who did the geologic mapping upon which the report is based and when was the mapping done. C. Any other kinds of investigations made by the geologist and where pertinent, reasons for doing such work. D. Topography and drainage in the subject area. E. Abundance, distribution and general nature of exposures of earth materials within the area. F. Nature and source of available subsurface information. Suitable explanations should provide any technical reviewer with the means for assessing the probable reliability of such data. (Subsurface relationships can be variously determined or inferred, for example, by projection of surface features from adjacent areas, by the use of test-hole logs, and by interpretation of geophysical data, and it is evident that different sources of such interpretation can differ markedly from one another in degree of detail and reliability according to the method used.) 3. Geologic Descriptions The report should contain brief but complete descriptions of all natural materials and structural features recognized or inferred within the subject area. Where interpretations are added to the recording of direct observations, the basis for such interpretations should be clearly stated. The following checklist may be useful as a general, though not necessarily complete, guide for descriptions: A. Bedrock (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic types): 1) Identification as to rock type (e.g., granite, silty sandstone, etc.) 2) Relative age, and where possible, correlations with named formations 3) Distribution 4) Dimension features (e.g., thickness, outcrop breadth, vertical extent) 5) Physical characteristics (e.g., color, grain size, nature of stratification, foliation, or schistocity, hardness, coherence)

12 6) Special physical or chemical features (e.g., calcareous or siliceous cement, concretions, mineral deposits, alteration other than weathering) 7) Distribution and extent of weather zones; significant differences between fresh and weathered rock 8) Response to natural surface and near surface processes (e.g., raveling, gullying) B. Structural features, stratification, foliation, schistocity, folds, zones of contortion or crushing, joints, shear zones, faults, etc. 1) Occurrence and distribution 2) Dimensional characteristics 3) Orientation, and shifts in orientation 4) Relative ages (where pertinent) 5) Specific effects upon the bedrock (describe conditions of the planar surfaces) 6) Specific features of faults (e.g., zones of gorge and breccia, nature of offsets, timing of movements); are faults active in either the geologic sense or the historical sense C. Surficial (unconsolidated) deposits: artificial (man-made) fill, topsoil, stream-laid alluvium, beach sands and gravels, residual debris, lake and pond sediments, swamp accumulations, dune sands, marine and non-marine terrace deposits, talus accumulations, creep and slope wash materials, various kinds of slump and slide debris, etc. 1) Distribution, occurrence and relative age; relationships with existing topography 2) Identification of material as to general type 3) Dimensional characteristics (e.g., thickness, variation in thickness, shape) 4) Surface expression and correlation with features such as terraces, dunes, undrained depressions, anomalous protuberances 5) Physical or chemical features (e.g., moisture content, mineral deposits, content of expandable clay mineral, alteration, cracks and fissures, fractures) 6) Physical characteristics (e.g., color, grain size, hardness, compactness, coherence, cementation) 7) Distribution and extent of weathered zones; significant differences between fresh and weathered material 8) Response to natural surface and near-surface processes (e.g., raveling, gullying, mass movement) A. Drainage: surface water and groundwater 1) Distribution/occurrence (e.g., streams, ponds, swamps, springs, seeps, subsurface basins) 2) Relations to topography 3) Relations to geologic features (e.g., previous strata, fractures, faults) 4) Sources and permanence 5) Variations in amounts of water (e.g., intermittent spring and seeps, floods) 6) Evidence for earlier occurrence of water at localities now dry 7) Effect of water on the properties of the in-place materials E. Features of special significance (if not already included in the foregoing descriptions) 1) Features representing accelerated erosion (e.g., cliff reentrants, badlands, advancing gully heads) 2) Features indicating subsidence or settlement (e.g., fissures, scarplets, offset reference features, historic records and measurements) 3) Features indicating creep (e.g., fissures, scarplets, distinctive patterns of cracks and/or vegetation, topographic budges, displaced or tilted reference features, historic records and measurements) 4) Slump and slide masses in bedrock and/or surficial deposits; distribution, geometric characteristics, correlation with topographic and geologic features, age and rates of movement 5) Deposits related to recent floods (e.g., talus aprons, debris ridges, canyon-bottom trash) 6) Active faults and their recent effects upon topography and drainage 4. Mineral Resources Types, location and value of mineral resources within the land to be subdivided. These include, but are not limited to, limestone used for construction, coal, sand, gravel, and quarry aggregate, for which extraction by an

13 extractor is or will be commercially feasible, or which is a deposit having significant economic or strategic value to the county, state or nation. Any area known to contain a commercial mineral deposit shall not be subdivided until such deposit is extracted, unless the Board of County Commissioners finds that extraordinary environmental damage or public hazard results from such extraction. 5. The Bearing of Geologic Factors upon the Intended Land Use Treatment of this general topic, whether presented as a separate section or integrated in some manner with the geologic descriptions, normally constitutes the principle contribution of the report. It involves both the effects of geologic features upon the proposed grading, construction, and land use; and the effects of these proposed modifications upon future geological processes in the area. The following checklist includes the topics that ordinarily should be considered in submitting discussion, conclusions, and recommendations in the geologic reports: A. General compatibility of natural features with proposed land use: Is it basically reasonable to develop the subject area? 1) Topography 2) Lateral stability of earth materials 3) Problems of flood inundation, erosion, and deposition 4) Problems caused by features or conditions in adjacent properties 5) Other general problems B. Special recommendations 1) Areas to be left as natural ground 2) Removal or buttressing of existing slide masses 3) Flood protection 4) Problems of groundwater circulation 5) Position of structures, with respect to active faults PERFORMANCE REPORT GUIDELINES (Individual Sewage Disposal Systems (ISDS), if applicable) 1. A report conforming to the following standards for lots between one acre to five acres, where individual sewer systems are proposed, shall be submitted in addition to the Performance Report Guidelines for Geology and Soils Report. The report shall be prepared by a registered professional engineer licensed to practice in Colorado. A map drawn at the same scale as the preliminary plan locating all lots, drainage-ways, flood plains, slopes in excess of thirty percent, surface and subsurface soils hazards, geologic hazards, depth to bedrock, water table depth and other hazards. 2. The report shall address the following: A. Percolation tests shall be conducted for no fewer that twenty percent of the total number of lots in the filing. In cases in which unique geologic, topographic, or soils conditions, such as: depth to bedrock, depth to water. Slopes in excess of ten percent, etc. are found, additional tests may be required by the appropriate review agency. B. All locations not suited for placement of leach fields due to soils, geologic, topographic, or hazard conditions shall be noted on the plan. The Change of Zone plan shall be designed as to insure that each lot has a minimum of two sites appropriate for individual sewage disposal systems (ISDS) which do not fall in the restricted zones noted on the plan. C. Relationship of the leach fields to leach fields, wells, and structures, lakes, streams, irrigation systems, and other water forms on adjoining parcels and identification of any possible hazards. Such identification shall be based on an analysis of the probable effects of water on the soils, geology and hydrology of the area. D. The availability of a central sewage system and the feasibility of inclusion into such systems. In the event a community sewer system collection line is constructed within four hundred (400) feet of the PUD, the lot shall abandon their septic system and obtain service from that community system. All Sketch Plan applications will be submitted to the Colorado Geological Survey for review along with the required geologic maps and investigation reports. The following fee shall be collected by the Department of Planning Services at

14 the time the Sketch Plan is submitted. As the fee will be forwarded, please make checks payable to the Colorado Geological Survey.
