The County adopted an ordinance(PDF, 99KB) to define data centers in Chapter 23, Zoning, of the Weld County Code and specify where they are allowed.
The ordinance would allow data centers in the I-1 (Light Industrial) zone district with approval of a Use by Special Review (USR) or in other Industrial zone districts with approval of an administrative Site Plan Review. USRs require public hearings before the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners. County zoning only applies outside of incorporated cities and towns.
If you have any questions or comments about the ordinance, please contact Jim Flesher, Long Range Planner, at jflesher@weld.gov or at (970) 400-3552.
