NOTICE OF HEARING ON PETITION IN RE THE ORGANIZATION OF COTTONWOOD CONNER METROPOLITAN DISTRICT, WELD COUNTY, COLORADO
PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that there was filed in the District Court in and for Weld County, Colorado, on September 1, 2022, a petition entitled “In Re the Organization of Cottonwood Conner Metropolitan District, Weld County, Colorado” (the “Petition”), which Petition prays for the organization of Cottonwood Conner Metropolitan District (the “District”) pursuant to the provisions of § 32-1-301, et seq., C.R.S.
The purposes of the proposed District include the financing, construction, acquisition, installation, operation and maintenance of public facilities and improvements specifically described in the Service Plan approved by the City Council of the City of Fort Lupton on August 2, 2022, including the following: (i) streets, traffic controls and safety controls; (ii) irrigation and water system improvements; (iii) sanitary sewer and storm drainage facilities; (iv) park and recreation improvements; and (v) other powers of a metropolitan district as described in §§32-1-1001 and -1004 C.R.S. as amended, except that the District will not provide fire protection nor emergency facilities or services.
The District is located entirely within the boundaries of the City of Fort Lupton, Colorado. The land contained within the boundaries of the proposed District is generally described as a parcel containing approximately approximately 38 acres located at the northwest corner of Weld County Road 31 and 9th Street in the City of Fort Lupton.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that any time after the filing of the Petition for the organization of the proposed District in the Weld County District Court, but no later than ten (10) days before the hearing on the Petition, in accordance with the provisions of §32-1-305(3), C.R.S., the owner of any real property within the proposed District may file a petition with the District Court stating reasons why said real property should not be included therein and requesting that said real property be excluded therefrom. Such petition shall be duly verified and shall describe the real property for which the exclusion is requested. The Court shall hear said petition and any objections thereto and shall determine whether, in the best public interest, said property should be excluded or included in the proposed District.

months, while twins living in legal states consumed on 18 days. (Zellers said she and her coauthors weighted the data for age and other factors to standardize it, which is why the difference between those numbers isn’t exactly 20%.)
“This is about as conclusive as we can say that the policy does cause more use,” Zellers said.
The study’s fi nding is in line with those from a large-scale state report released last year, which found that cannabis use has increased among adults in Colorado since legalization. (The trends around youth use are more muddled, but there is ultimately no conclusive evidence that legalization caused more kids to use cannabis.)
The novel approach of the research, though, provides it with extra heft, another of the study’s authors said.
“This is the fi rst study to confi rm that the association between legal cannabis and increased use holds within families in genetically identical individuals,” John Hewitt, a professor in CU’s Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, said in a statement. “This makes it much more likely that legalization does, in itself, result in increased use.”
Beyond the headline result, there are still a lot of unanswered questions in the new study.
For one, these are self-reported statistics. So it’s possible that twins living in states where marijuana use is illegal were less likely to report their true levels of use.
There’s also the issue of motivation — if this increase is legit, why did it happen?
“We don’t know why someone might have changed their use,” Zellers said.
Lastly, the study doesn’t explore potential consequences to the apparent increase in cannabis use. Did people suffer worse health problems? Did they cut back on their use of alcohol or other substances?
Zellers said that is the subject of a follow-up study that she hopes will be published by the end of the year.
