In unincorporated Weld County, the minimum setback from the road right-of-way is twenty feet, with a side/rear offset of at least three feet (residential zones require five feet). Greeley requires a 25-foot front and 20-foot rear setback.
Weld County Code Chapter 23 sets bulk requirements by zone district. In the Agricultural district (Sec. 23-3-70), the minimum setback is twenty feet and the minimum offset is three feet, or one foot for each three feet of building height, whichever is greater. In Residential districts (Sec. 23-3-160, Table 23.2) the minimum setback is twenty feet and the minimum offset is five feet, or one foot per three feet of building height. Setbacks are measured from the street/road right-of-way; offsets are the distance to side and rear lot lines. In Greeley, standard detached-house lots require a 25-foot front setback, 5-foot interior side, 15-foot corner side, and 20-foot rear.
Structures built within required setbacks or offsets can be denied permits, cited as zoning violations, or required to be moved. Variances are heard by the Weld County Board of Adjustment.
