Fort Lupton City Council took the fi rst steps toward approving a new car wash during its July 5 meeting.
The council unanimously approved a building and development plan and a baseline engineering request for the car wash’s special use permit. The Champion Xpress car wash is near state Highway 52 and Copper Place.
“The special use permit is a onestep process and was fully approved last night (pending any conditions of approval),” planner Maria Lancto said. “They will move on to the building permit process.”
During the council meeting, Lancto said the business would take up less than an acre of land. Staff comments said the facility will consist of a 4,360-square-foot, drive-through tunnel. It won’t include a customer service lobby.
Staff also noted commercial land uses surround the proposed car wash to the north, south and west.
“Within the Vincent Village subdivision, there are other auto-oriented uses, including a gas station and Auto-Zone,” the notes said.
There were no council questions
United Power credits
Mark Gabriel, United Power’s new chief executive offi cer, stopped by the July 5 council meeting to present more than $8,000 in capital credits, or refunds, to the city.
Gabriel said since 1997, the co-op has returned more than $148,000 to its members.
“This is the best part of my job,” he told council. “We aren’t like many utilities. You own us. It drives how we think about the world.”
Members who buy electricity from United Power are eligible the following year. The co-op’s board determines how much to return based on such things as impact on electrical rates and the co-op’s fi nancial strength.
Fireworks apology
Before the July 5 meeting began, Mayor Zo Stieber-Hubbard issued an apology for the lack of a fi reworks show during the city’s Independence Day party at the recreation center.
“A lot of things went wrong,” she said. “A lot of things are going to go right. I feel confi dent we are going to do it right. Thank you for your patience.”

New sidewalks and trails in Hudson, Keenesburg and rehab projects in Firestone
BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Three Weld County towns— Hudson, Keenesburg and Firestone — will see a community development boost with a share from federal grants.
“By facilitating these projects, the CDBG program is helping Weld County communities and the county become better,” said Weld County Commission Chairman Scott James. “It’s been exciting to see the improvements in progress from the projects selected last year, and we know these four will add more richness, effi ciencies, and vibrancy to our county.”
Weld County’s Community Development Block Grants Advisory Committee selects three town projects for improvement to continue to help towns and cities across Weld County with infrastructure repairs.
The CDBG committee held a community meeting in February, encouraging Weld County residents to give feedback on improvements in their communities. The committee purchased targeted advertisements seeking the same information.
The result is the 2022 Action Plan which includes the input from the communities. The Weld County Commission approved the 2022 Action Plan on June 20, calling for improvements for the towns of Hudson, Keenesburg and Firestone.
Hudson walks and overpass
Hudson received approval for two infrastructure projects, an accessible walking path for low-income older adults and people with disabilities around the Hudson Prairie View Apartments and a pedestrian overpass.
Currently, the residents have no safe way to walk from the apartment complex to a local grocery store, post offi ce, Town Hall, library, and other nearby services. The residents must walk next to State Highway 52 and cross a busy street that is a non-ADA complaint crossing.
The plan is to construct a sidewalk along the north side of State Highway 62 and build an ADAcompliant crosswalk at Beach Street, so older adults and the disabled can safely walk across. The total cost of $160,500.
Keenesburg sidewalk
This town’s plan would help residents of two assisted living facilities by adding wheelchair-accessible sidewalks and ramps. Currently, elders and people with disabilities live in areas where sidewalks don’t exist or are too narrow for a wheelchair.
There are two-assist living facilities and Timberland Apartments, a low-income complex near the proposed project. The cost would be $212,500 to construct and reconstruct ADA-compliant sidewalks and ramps in these neighborhoods, so the residents have safe access to services.
Firestone rehab projects
Brothers Redevelopment Inc. is developing a single-family housing rehabilitation program to help lowincome owner-occupied homes to make repairs. It will help residents with limited resources to improve and maintain their homes. It would cost $250,000.
According to offi cials, more than $1.04 million in funds were awarded to the county from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help pay for these projects and administrative costs from now until March 23, 2023.
