APPLICANT: DOUG JERGENS
PLANNER: CHRIS GATHMAN
REQUEST: A SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW
PERMIT FOR A VETERINARY CLINIC (AN EXAMINATION/EQUINE SURGERY
ROOM AS WELL AS A LAB AREA FOR A VETERINARY CLINIC) IN THE A
(AGRICULTURAL)ZONE DISTRICT.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: LOT A REC EXEMPT RE-3889;PART S2SW4 SECTION 10,T6N,R64W OF THE

be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners 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 Planning Commission 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.
22-2-20 B.2. A.Policy 2.2. States: "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."
Section 22-2-20 G.2 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."
The impacts of the use to surrounding properties will be relatively minimal. The proposed
veterinary operation will be located in an existing barn/outbuilding on the site.The veterinary
operation is primarily mobile but this Use by Special Review Permit (USR) will allow
customers/clients to bring horses on site for treatment under certain circumstances.This use
will blend in with the surrounding agricultural uses in the area. Development Standards and
Conditions of Approval will help to ensure that the use is compatible with the surrounding
area.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2--The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the Agricultural(A)
Zone District. Section 23-3-40 B.5 of the Weld County Code allows Veterinary Clinics or
Hospitals as a Use by Special Review 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 proposed USR site is surrounded by agricultural uses(cropland
and rural residences).The nearest residences to the site are located approximately 350 feet
to the west and 1,000 feet to the southeast. A Use by Special Review Permit (USR-705—
approved by the Board of County Commissioners on January 8, 1986)for a trucking business 8
• is located immediately to the southeast of the site(across County Road 70), a dairy for up to
4,500 head (USR-1602—approved by the Board of County Commissioners on July 11,2007)
is located 1/2 mile to the east and a Roping Arena (USR-1393—approved ) is located

• approximately % mile to the west of the site. The proposed use will be conducted within an
existing outbuilding and traffic to the site will be relatively low. Conditions of approval and
development standards will ensure compatibility with existing surrounding land uses.
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 proposed USR is not located within a 3-mile referral boundary or
Intergovernmental Agreement Boundary (IGA) of any municipality.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Article V of the Weld County Code.
The site is not located within the 100-year floodplain or within any overlay district.

29. 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, 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.

• station that will allow the facility to develop and store water in an efficient manner. The fill station facility,
eluding temporary water storage will occur in an area adjacent to County Roads 66 and 57.
The cility is proposed to operate 24 hours—7 days a week and will be utilized by Noble Energy and their
contra ors only.
Thirteen re ral agencies have reviewed this case and six offered comments,some with specific conditions.
The Departm t of Planning Services is recommending approval of this application with the attached
conditions of ap oval and development standards.
Dave Bauer,Public rks,stated that County Road 57 is classified as a local gravel roadway with 115 vehicle
trips per day. The app ant had provided an initial traffic estimate of approximately 400 round trips or 800
trips one way. Due to tha igh traffic estimate,staff requested additional information. The applicant has now
revised their truck trips to 2 round trips per day. With the potential of increasing the number of trips to 400,
staff has requested and the a licant has agreed to phased road improvements. Initially, the applicant will
upgrade the road with concrete ated base and some new gravel and as needed with the expansion the road
will be paved. CDOT, in their refe I,requested that a left decel lane and a right turn decel lane be required
on the intersection including larger r fuses.
Mary Even, Environmental Health, stat that the site is served by an existing domestic water tap by North
Weld County Water District. The applicant working with the District to upgrade the existing tap in order to fill
the pond. An"Able to Serve"letter has been rovided. In the application,they stated that there is an office
building proposed for this site;however it is not ticipated to be constructed with the initial development. The
applicant is proposing to use portable toilets in li of providing water and sewage disposal for drinking and
sanitary purposes. However,the Health Departmen policy is that portable toilets are allowed on a temporary
basis up to six months. Therefore permanent drinkin water and sewage disposal facilities are required.
Vince Harris, Baseline Corporation, stated that the pond uld consume about 4 acres of land. The treated
water is intended to be delivered into the pond and then pu ped into the water trucks and taken off site to
fracking operations. He added that this isn't the only water so ce that would be available to Noble Energy,
• Inc.; however it is meant to supplement the other opportunities gain water for their operations.
It will be a secured facility and no one will be able to enter without t keypad access.
Mr. Harris said that they are looking at a staged approach to improving unty Road 57. They will work with
Staff in developing an agreement that will outline future improvements on unty Road 57. At this time,they
have worked with staff to limit the trucks to 25 round trips per day.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or ainst this application. No
one wished to speak.
The Chair asked the applicant if he read through the Development Standards and Condl ns of Approval and
if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that he is in agreement.
