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.A. A.Goal 1. Respect and encourage the continuation of agricultural land
uses and agricultural operations for purposes which enhance the economic health and
sustainability of agriculture.
A. Policy 1.1 Establish and maintain an agricultural land use designation to promote
the County's agricultural industry and sustain viable agricultural opportunities for the
future.
A. Policy 1.2 Support the development of create policies for landowners to voluntarily
conserve agricultural land.
USR13-0019, Mark Birkin, Page 3
A. Policy 1.4 Recognize the changing dynamics of agricultural land uses, their
locations and the size and scope of operations when developing land use
regulations.
A. Policy 1.5 Support and entice agriculturally related businesses and processing
facilities.
Section 22-2-20.B. A.Goal 2. Continue the commitment to viable agriculture in Weld
County through mitigated protection of established (and potentially expanding)
agricultural uses from other proposed uses that would hinder the operations of the
agricultural enterprises.
A. Policy 2.2. Allow commercial and industrial uses, which are directly related to or
dependent upon agriculture, to locate within agricultural areas when the impact to
surrounding properties is minimal or mitigated and where adequate services and
infrastructure are currently available or reasonably obtainable. These commercial and
industrial uses should be encouraged to locate in areas that minimize the removal of
agricultural land from production.
A. Policy 2.3. Encourage development of agriculture and agriculturally related
businesses and industries in underdeveloped areas where existing resources can
support a higher level of economic activity. Agricultural businesses and industries
include those related to ranching, confined animal production, farming, greenhouse
industries, landscape production and agri-tainment or agri-tourism uses.
Section 22-2-20.G. A.Goal 7. County land use regulations should protect the individual
property owner's right to request a land use change.
A. Policy 7.1 County land use regulations should support commercial and industrial
uses that are directly related to, or dependent upon, agriculture, to located within the
agricultural areas, when the impact to surrounding property will be minimal, or can be
mitigated, and where adequate services are currently available or reasonably
obtainable.
The applicant is proposing an orchard and cidery to make hard apple cider on site. This
includes the planting of approximately 10 acres of orchard and utilizing an existing 5000
square foot metal building to be used in the processing and packaging of the cider. In
addition, the applicant is proposing seasonal cider tastings and small event venue from
May to September. The proposed indoor tasting and event rooms and bed and breakfast
are components of the applicant's long term goals for future expansion and are
dependent upon the success of the cider production. The bed breakfast will be an
amenity for event venues.
The planting of an orchard supports the continuation of agricultural uses on the property
and reintroduces the viability of a successful agricultural enterprise. The cider tastings
and event venue are a natural extension of the orchard. The cidery promotes the
diversification of agriculture in the County and the need to recognize the changing
dynamic of agricultural operations by transitioning from a livestock based processing
facility to a farming based processing facility. An economically feasible conversion of the
5000 square foot goat milk processing facility to a cider processing facility allows for
creative business opportunities while conserving prime agricultural land. Seasonal
events will be located to take advantage of the views to the west while minimizing
impacts to the neighbors, as well as the processing facility operations, with a strategic
location within the 10 acre orchard. The bed and breakfast expansion will encourage
development of an agriculturally related businesses in an underdeveloped areas where
existing resources can and will support a higher level of economic activity in the future..
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
USR13-0019, Mark Birkin, Page 4

Industrial Zone Districts (Events Center), provided that the property is not a lot in an
approved or Recorded Subdivision Plat or lots part 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. Directly north and adjacent to the site is a vacant 75 acre

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

33. 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
USR13-0019, Mark Birkin, Page 10
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, sandburs, 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.

Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on July 2, 2013, at 1:30 p.m.
A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on July 24, 2013 at 10:00
a.m. Both hearings will be held in the Hearing Room, Weld County Administration Building, 1150 O
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
