A pre-application meeting is the first step in the application process.  A concept plan and the pre-application form are required to schedule this meeting.

Pre-Application Meeting Form

Neighborhood Meeting

A neighborhood meeting with adjacent property owners is required prior to application submittal. This is an opportunity for neighbors to ask questions and provide feedback to the applicant regarding the project. 

Who is invited to the neighborhood meeting?

A buffer around the subject property(s) lines is created using the Weld County Property Portal to generate a list of surrounding property owners. 

How are neighbors invited?

• Town staff works with the applicant to determine the meeting date.
• ...then, staff will provide the list of surrounding property owners and the neighborhood meeting notice to the applicant.
  • Virtual Neighborhood Meeting Notice Template

• The applicant is responsible for sending one notice to each property owner listed at least 15 calendar days prior to the meeting date.

The following return address is used for mailed notices:

• The applicant is responsible for taking notes during the meeting. Neighborhood Meeting Minutes are a required document for application submittal.
