Case Summary: This USR is to address an existing zoning violation (ZCV12-00154) for operating an
existing oil and gas support facility without proper permits. This application, if approved by the Board of
County Commissioners and once conditions of approval have been addressed a plat is recorded will
correct the violation. If this application is denied, all oil & gas operations and associated activities and/or
storage shall be removed from the property within 30 (thirty) days of denial or the violation will proceed in
court accordingly. There is existing oil and gas equipment on site that is typically accessed once a day by
up to two employees. The application is also proposing an area for staging of vehicles and equipment
associated with new oil and gas wells under this USR. The application indicates that traffic associated
with the staging area will be sporadic and infrequent.
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.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."
Section 22-2-20 I. A.Goal 9. States: "Reduce potential conflicts between varying land
uses in the conversion of traditional agricultural lands to other land uses."
USR12-0046, Whiting Oil &Gas Corporation, LLC Page 2
Section 22-2-20 1.3. A.Policy 9.3. States: "Consider mitigation techniques to address
incompatibility issues. Encourage techniques and incentives, such as but not limited to
clustered development and building envelopes, to minimize impacts on surrounding
agricultural land."
22-2-100 A.2. OG.Policy 1.2. states: "Oil and gas support facilities which do not rely on
geology for locations should locate in commercial and industrial areas, when possible,
and should be subject to review in accordance with the appropriate sections of this
Code."
The facility is located on a small leasehold parcel within the Nelson Ranches property, a
large landholding that almost entirely surrounds the site. The nearest residences are
located approximately 1.5 miles to the west of the site. These residences are located on
property owned by Nelson Ranches. Access to the site is from County Road 118, an all-
weather east-west road. The site is in a remote rural 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.A.2 of the Weld County Code allows oil and gas
support facilities 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.
This facility is located in a rural area. The nearest residences are located 1.5 miles to the
west of the site. No phone calls or correspondence has been received from surrounding
property owners in regards to this case.
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. This site is not located within the 3-mile referral area of any
municipality.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Article V of the Weld County Code.
This site is not located within the Geologic Hazard Overlay District or the Airport Overlay
District. Additionally the site is not located within a floodplain. The existing site is within
the County Road Impact Fee Area and the Capital Expansion Impact Fee area.
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. This is an existing
facility. No additional land will be taken out of production.
G. Section 23-2-220.A.7—There are adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety,

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
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
USR12-0046, Whiting Oil &Gas Corporation, LLC Page 8
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.
