In unincorporated Weld County, most residential zone districts cap building height at 30 feet, with the high-density R-4 district allowing 45 feet. Greeley limits standard detached houses to 30 feet.
Weld County Code Sec. 23-3-160 (Table 23.2) sets the maximum building height for Residential zone districts: 30 feet in the R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-5 districts and 45 feet in the R-4 (High-Density Residential) district. Building height works together with the minimum offset, which increases by one foot for every three feet of building height. In Greeley, the Development Code (Table 24-5-1) limits standard and estate detached houses to 30 feet, and agricultural-acreage lots to 35 feet. Height is measured under the applicable code's definitions; oil-and-gas facility setbacks under Sec. 23-4-700 also apply to buildings in every district.
Exceeding the maximum height results in permit denial or a zoning violation requiring correction. Additional height may be sought through a variance from the Weld County Board of Adjustment.
