Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts (Outside Recreational Vehicle Storage)
provided that the property is not a lot in an approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots

Size of Parcel: +I- 2.225 acres Parcel No. 0807-08-3-00-001
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23-2-260
of the Weld County Code.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows:
A. Section 23-2-220.A.1 - The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-2-20.G.7 - A.Policy 7.2 states, "Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban
residential, commercial, and industrial uses should be accommodated when the subject site
is in an area that can support such development, and should attempt to be compatible with
the region."
Section 22-2-20.G.7 - A.Policy 7.3. states, "Conversion of agricultural land to urban
residential, commercial and industrial uses should be considered when the subject site is
located inside an Intergovernmental Agreement area, Urban Growth Boundary area,
Regional Urbanization Area or Urban Development Nodes, or where adequate services are
currently available or reasonably obtainable. A municipality's adopted comprehensive plan
should be considered, but should not determine the appropriateness of such conversion."
USR12-0063. Murdoff Holdings, LLC
Page 3 of 10
Section 22-2-30 states, in part, that, "Urban development is characterized by designated
areas for residences, retail, offices, services and other uses that are primarily located along
major roadways, at major intersections and in subdivisions designed to accommodate these
more intense uses. It relies on higher levels of services and infrastructure. Urban
development patterns typically include a mix of residential, commercial, industrial and civic
land uses in a compact transportation -oriented form."
Section 22-2-30.UD.3. - UD.Policy 3.3. states, "Inside the County Urban Growth Boundary,
urban -type uses and services are planned and supported, and annexation is encouraged."
Section 22-2-80.D - I. Goal 4 states, 'All new industrial development should pay its own
way."
The applicant will be responsible for covering all costs for all on -site and any applicable off -
site improvements associated with this use, as required through the Improvements
Agreement and Conditions of Approval.
Section 22-2-201. A. Goal 9. States: "Reduce potential conflicts between varying land uses in
the conversion of traditional agricultural lands to other land uses."
The RV storage business will utilize approximately one (1) acre of a 2.225 acre parcel to
park approximately seventy-five (75) RVs. A Landscaping Plan has been submitted as well
as a Screening Plan. Staff is requesting additional screening for the RV storage area as well
as a Lighting Plan. These Conditions of Approval will assist in mitigating the impacts to the
surrounding land uses.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
Zone District. Section 23-3-40.S. of the Weld County Code allows for, a Site Specific
Development Plan and Use By Special Review Permit Any Use Permitted as a Use By
Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use By Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone
Districts (Outside Recreational Vehicle Storage) provided that the property is not a lot in an
approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots parts of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of
any regulations controlling subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses.
The site is adjacent to the Town of Windsor's Corporate Limits and within the Town of
Windsor's Urban Growth Boundary. The adjacent properties are mainly utilized for pastures,
crops, and rural residences. The closest residence is located approximately ten (10) feet
south of the southern property line. There are five (5) USRs located within one mile of this
parcel. The closest USR is USR-65 for firewood processing. USR-8 for a church, USR-845
for a dairy with 600 cows, USR-17 for a mining operation adjacent to HWY 392, and
AmUSR-1251 for a commercial greenhouse, garden center and brewery The Windsor
Gardener and High Hops Brewery and are all within a one (1) mile radius of the subject site.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services has received two letters of opposition
from surrounding property owners. These letters state concerns about drainage, lighting,
noise, traffic, views, property values, and security.
The application materials state that a six (6) foot cedar fence will be placed between the
closest residence and the subject property and that a split -rail fence will surround the RV
storage area which is located on the eastern portion of the property. Planning is
recommending that the screening of the RV storage be opaque screening approximately six
(6) feet in height. This screening, in conjunction with the Development Standards and the
other Conditions of Approval for this proposal, will assist in mitigating the impacts of the
facility on the adjacent properties and ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses.
USR12-0063. Murdoff Holdings, LLC
Page 4 of 10
D. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future
development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with the future
development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other applicable
code provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of affected
municipalities.
The site is located within three miles of the Town of Windsor and within the Urban Growth
Boundary of the Town. The Town of Windsor in their referral dated October 18, 2012 stated
that they recommend that the County deny this USR request and that the subject property
annex into Windsor.
Section 22-2-40.E.1. - UD.Policy 5.1. The County should consider approving an urban
development proposal if all of the following criteria are met:
• The adjacent municipality does not consent to annex the land or property in a timely
manner, or annexation is not legally possible.
• The proposed development, including public facility and service provision, is consistent
with other urban -type uses and conforms to County regulations.
• The proposed urban development attempts to be compatible with the adjacent
municipality's comprehensive plan (though it may not necessarily conform to it).
The site is located within the Town of Windsor's Urban Growth Boundary, the application
materials state that this business will provide parking (storage) for approximately seventy-
five (75) recreational vehicles. This business does not rely on higher levels of services and
infrastructure as there is no office requested and no water and sewer services requested or
required. This RV storage business does not appear to meet the definition of urban
development as defined by the Weld County Code, therefore staff is recommending
approval.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 — The application complies with Article V of the Weld County Code.
The existing site is within the County Road Impact Fee Area and the Capital Expansion
Impact Fee and Drainage Impact Fee areas.
Building Permits issued on the proposed lots will be required to adhere to the fee structure
of the Weld County Road Impact Program.
Building Permits issued on the proposed lots, will be required to adhere to the fee structure
of the County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee.
F. Section 23-2-220.A.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve prime
agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
The proposed facility is located on soils designated as "Prime (Irrigated)" per the 1979 Soil
Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. There are improvements
on the site already including a single family dwelling unit. Therefore the proposed USR will
take less than 2 acres of Prime (Irrigated) Farmland out of production. The parcel is only
2.225 acres in size and has had improvements on it for many years and is not conducive to
farming.
G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 -- There is adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and
welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.
The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code), Operation Standards
(Section 23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and Development Standards
can ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and
welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.

25. WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM: Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural
counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties in the country in total
market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and
spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must
recognize and accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural
practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the
incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural areas: open views, spaciousness,
wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without
neighboring farms, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly
be gone forever.
Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-established agricultural
practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well -run agricultural
activities will generate off -site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow -moving
farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor
from animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes;
hunting and trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife; and the use of
pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice
for agricultural producers to utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to
assist in their agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials
often produces a visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County. Section 35-3.5-
102, C.R.S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private
nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that
are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production.
Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to
assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential
development. When moving to the County, property owners and residents must realize they
cannot take water from irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an
adjudicated right to the water.
Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size
(twice the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700)
miles of state and County roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be
served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints
more than on patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all
emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually
provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies.
County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of
surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions
to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas,
in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be
more self-sufficient than urban dwellers.
People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting.
Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps
and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sand burs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs
and livestock, and open burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important,
not only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood. (Department of
Planning Services)

Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on June 4, 2013, at 1:30 p.m.
A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on July 3, 2013 at 10:00
a.m. Both hearings will be held in the Hearing Room, Weld County Administration Building, 1150 0
Street, Greeley, Colorado. It is recommended that you and/or a representative be in attendance to
answer any questions the Planning Commission members or Board of County Commissioners may
have.
Colorado Revised Statute, C.R.S.24-65.5-103 (adopted as part of H.B.01-1088) requires notification of
all mineral estate owners 30 days prior to any public hearing. The applicant needs to provide the Weld
County Planning Department with written certification indicating the above requirement has been met.
A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of ten
days prior to the hearing to post a sign adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road
right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not
adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent place
on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive) intersects a
publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to
the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to the
scheduled Planning Commission hearing. You may view the staff report at
