North Range Behavioral Health Center Rezoning

North Range Behavioral Health is a community mental health center and substance abuse provider agency serving Weld County, Colorado. They are a private, nonprofit organization that provide professional, knowledgeable mental health services to residents of the Greeley area.

The center has been a residential treatment center and group since 1997.

The modifications that the city is looking to make in the center are turning it into a rehabilitation center and office space. Truly the only change to the structure that will be made is the addition of a parking lot where a former cul-de-sac used to be, as well as a new sidewalk leading up to the entrance of the facility.

The main change, according to Mayor Tom Norton, would be the transformation of a low density space into a semi-commercial out-patient facility.

Zoning is the only obstacle in the way of moving forward with this transformation.

The Administrative Review and Planning Commission both approved of the rezone request.

The entire property is just less than 15,000 sq. ft. The property at hand is extremely well maintained.

The only access to these facilities is through the residential neighborhood that encompasses this center.

City council member Robb Casseday could not vote on the ordinance because of a conflict of interest.

The City Council passed the ordinance to rezone the North Range Behavioral Health Center.

"I am extremely happy that the rest of the council decided to pass the ordinance," Casseday said.
