Greeley pulls Great Western Industrial Park annexation and zoning items from agenda

The Greeley City Council on Tuesday removed two Great Western Industrial Park land-use items from its agenda before any reading or vote. The change delayed a package of annexation and zoning ordinances covering 325.63 acres on the city’s west side.

The Greeley City Council on Tuesday removed two Great Western Industrial Park land-use items from its agenda before any reading or vote. The change delayed a package of annexation and zoning ordinances covering 325.63 acres on the city’s west side.

At the start of the meeting, Mayor Dale Hall asked whether there were changes to the agenda, and staff requested that Item 17 and Item 18 be taken off the night’s schedule. Hall then asked whether there was any objection, and none was raised.

The withdrawn items were the introduction and first reading of 15 serial annexation ordinances for the Great Western Industrial Park area and a first-reading zoning ordinance to establish I-H, or Industrial High Intensity, and C-D, or Conservation District, zoning for the same property. The site is generally south of Eastman Park Drive, east of State Highway 257, west of Great Western Drive and north of Weld County Road 62 1/4.

Because the measures were removed before first reading, the council did not take up the industrial park annexation or the proposed zoning designations Tuesday night. The postponement delays action on a large land-use package that would bring the property into the city and set its initial zoning.

The two items were listed as Items 17 and 18 on the agenda.
