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 1.5. A.Policy 9.5. states: "Applications for a change of land use in the
agricultural areas should be reviewed in accordance with all potential impacts to
surrounding properties and referral agencies."
Section 22-5-100 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."
USR11-0028, Great White Pressure Control, Page 2
The proposed facility is located on a property previously approved for a construction
• business (USR-1473 - storage of construction equipment and materials) that was
approved by the Board of County Commissioners on July 7, 2004. The site has an
existing fenced and screened storage area and is surrounding by agricultural land. The
proposed Use by Special Review Permit (USR) is a similar use in that it involves outdoor
storage of oil and gas vehicles and equipment in the same fenced and screened storage
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 & Service 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 site is surrounding by agricultural land. The nearest
single-family residences are located approximately % of a mile to the west and southeast
of the site. The property has an existing fenced storage area that is screened on the
north, west and south sides and is partially screened on the east side.
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 located within the 3-mile referral area for the City of
Evans, City of Greeley and Town of Milliken. The site borders the City of Greeley to the
north and the City of Evans to the east. The City of Greeley, in their referral dated
January 9, 2012, states that any upgrades to the site may trigger upgrades to site
accesses, the City of Greeley recommends landscaping be extended along Two Rivers
• Parkway to the intersection with 37th Street and along the western border of the site to
supplement the existing fence along the property line. A Backflow Prevention Device may
be required and the water tap will be changed from an outside of the City of Greeley
Residential tap to an outside of the City of Greeley Commercial Tap. The City of Greeley
indicated in an electronic mail response that a traffic study for this use will not be
required. The Town of Milliken, stated in their referral dated January 13, 2012 that they
would like to discuss the possibility of annexation with the applicant. No referral response
has been received from the City of Evans.
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 area.

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 proposed USR
is located on a property that is 1.39 acres in size and contains existing buildings and site
improvements. No additional agricultural land will be removed from production.

39. 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.

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
www-weldcou ntypla nni ngcases.orq
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call.

• Response to 7-day Review
1. Additional information including contact information on the Waste Handling Plan.
At this time Great White Pressure Control plans to use a one yard dumpster provided by Northern
Colorado Disposal. An updated Waste Handling Plan is attached.
2. An updated Certificate of Conveyance is attached.
3. Outline the number of work vehicles/equipment that will be stored on the site at any one time
and delineate parking area on the plat map
Employees that do not work on-site drive company vehicles. No additional parking is needed for
these employees personal vehicles. The plat has been updated to include adequate parking for
10 employees and 4 24' goose neck trailers.
4. Clarify what the hours of operation will be during the weekends.
Most of the operations at the site are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Occasionally employees arrive early or depart late. Therefore, Great White is requesting the
hours of operation to be extended to 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. to ensure compliance. Occasionally
the facility will operate on Saturday from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
• 5. Access.
The Department of Public Works has indicated that they will only approve the access onto County
Road 27. Great White Pressure Control would like to keep the existing access from County Road
54 as well. The second access is very important for maintaining the traffic flow on the site. At the
very least, they would like to use the County Road 54 access as a right-turn in only. This would
give drivers coming from the west easy access to the site. All traffic leaving the site or coming
from the east would use the County Road 27 access. Your consideration of this alternative would
be greatly appreciated.
