There is a lot going on in The Town of Wellington. Here is information on surveys, volleyball enrollment, the showerhead exchange program, and resources for those interested in running for office.
Land Use Code Survey. The Town of Wellington is currently working on updating the Zoning and Subdivision regulations by combining the two sections to create a new unified Land Use Code.
“Zoning” is a set of zone districts that list uses and other requirements for each district and makes up one part of the Land Use Code currently being updated. Please take a brief 10-minute survey to help define the character of the Downtown Neighborhoods by clicking the button below.
The Land Use Code includes more than just zoning; it also describes all uses, the processes available for development, and the standards for development. Your thoughts and feedback are greatly appreciated.

Public Transportation Interest Survey. The Town of Wellington Board of Trustees, represented by Trustee Jon Gaiter, Adriana Quintero of Colorado Trust, and Betty Aragon-Mitotes of Mujeres de Colores would like your input on the interest to expand public transportation to include a bus route from Wellington to Fort Collins.
They are asking impacted residents to share their perspectives through a seven-minute survey. The intended audience for this survey is Wellington and the surrounding area to include Larimer County. If you have any questions, please contact Jon Gaiter at gaiterjm@wellingtoncolorado.gov.
Please share your feedback through the survey below by Tuesday, December 21, 2021.
