Legal Lot A of RE-3083 being part of the N2SW4 of Section 15, T2N, R64W of the 6th P.M., Description: Weld County, CO Location: East and adjacent to County Road 55 and approximately .25 miles north of County Road 20 Size of Parcel: +/- 29.5 acres Parcel No. 1035-15-0-00-033 Description of Use The applicant is proposing a recreation park that would be an outdoor multi-use facility. Horseback riding, walking, and motorcycle tracks will be offered for use to the public. The applicant lives at the subject property. The motocross tracks will be open for 6 months throughout the year which is considered a temporary use per the Weld County Code. Two motorcycle motocross tracks are proposed for daily practice and occasional Special Events. There may be up to four (4) Special Events per year with a maximum of 400 participants and retail sales of related motorcycle accessories. These two tracks are already built and are located north of the existing residence extending from County Road 55 east to the rear of the property. The parking for spectators is proposed for the northwest area of the property. Separate parking will be available for participants and pit crews; this parking section will not be open to the public(spectators). In March of 2012 the applicant received a Temporary Assembly Permit for a motocross tournament. 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. USR12-0059, page 2 of 10 Section 22-2-20.G.2. A.Goal 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 application materials indicate the site can support the proposed use and that large straw bales may be placed around the property perimeter to buffer noise and dust. This screening using the straw bales in conjunction with the Development Standards and the Conditions of Approval for this proposal will assist in mitigating the impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties and attempt to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. Section 22-2-100.D. C.Goal 4. states: "New commercial uses or expansion of existing commercial uses should meet existing federal, state and local policies and legislation." Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will ensure that the propose use meets the existing federal, state and local policies and legislation, as applicable i.e. noise and air pollution regulations. Section 22-6-20 A. ECON.Goal 1. State: "Encourage the expansion of existing businesses and the location of new industries that will provide employment opportunities in the County." Section 23-3-70 A. TR.Goal 1. Recognize the importance of cultural and heritage tourism and recreation to local, regional and agricultural economies, including events and sites such as corn mazes, County fairs, farm implement museums, etc. Encourage the provision of adequate support services and facilities necessary for the continuation and expansion of these activities, consistent with other goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant has indicated that there will be approximately 400 people at any one Special Event. The increase in traffic has the potential to increase the number of customers paying for local services like restaurants, gasoline stations, and etc. B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the Agricultural (A) Zone District. Sections 23-3-40.C.8. of the Weld County Code allow for, A Site Specific Development Plan and Use By Special Review Permit for a Multi-Use Recreational Park (Motocross) in the (A)Agricultural Zone District. Currently the property is in violation (ZCV12-00141) for the operation of a recreational park (specifically motocross) without an approved and recorded Use by Special Review permit (USR). If the USR is approved, the violation will be closed. If denied, the case shall be referred to the County Attorney's office with a delay of legal action for 30 days in order to give the applicant time to ensure that the business is removed from the property. C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. The property is located in a rural residential area approximately 1.5 miles north of Keenesburg. The existing structures on the subject property include a primary dwelling unit, a 12'x24' garage, a 20'x20' barn, an 8'x8' playhouse [ticket booth] and several small outbuildings. The adjacent properties are primarily rural residential. The closest residence is located on the adjacent property to the north; approximately 500 feet north of the property line. The Weld County Department of Planning Services has received nine (9) letters from surrounding property owners objecting to the motocross track. Most of the letters are from the property owners that live on County Road 57 north of County Road 20. One of the letters is from a realtor who is representing 9508 County Road 55 which is a residence approximately 940 feet north of the subject property. These letters outline concerns about dust, noise, fire, traffic, lower property values, and other items. USR12-0059, page 3 of 10 The application materials state that large straw bales may be placed around the property perimeter to buffer noise and dust. This screening using the straw bales in conjunction with the Development Standards that state that dust and noise must meet the standards of the Environmental Health Department along with the Conditions of Approval for this proposal will assist in mitigating the impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties and attempt to ensure compatibility with 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 subject property is located within the three-mile referral area of the Town of Keenesburg. The Town of Keenesburg in their referral dated September 18, 2012 stated that they have no concerns with the proposed development. 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. Effective April 25, 2011, Building Permits issued on the proposed lots will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the Weld County Road Impact Program. (Ordinance 2011-2) Effective April 25, 2011, 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. (Ordinance 2011-2) 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 existing and proposed facility is located on soils designated primary as "Prime if they become Irrigated" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The proposed USR will not take any Prime (Irrigated) Farmland out of production. 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.

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 USR12-0059, page 9 of 10 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.
