Does the Environmental Health Department review all land use proposals?
The Department reviews all land use proposals submitted to the County Planning Department, and selected proposals in those municipalities that request review. As a concerned neighbor, can I get a copy of the Department’s referral on a land use proposal? Yes, reports prepared by the Department’s Environmental Planner are public record. The referral is available on the Weld County’s Planning Department website or email llight@co.weld.co.us and a copy of the referral can be sent to you. What are the specific topics that are considered by the Environmental Planner in reviewing development proposals? The list of topics varies according to the type of development that is proposed.
