COLORADO SUBJECT: USR-1763, Juan Soto
The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal. This project falls under the Use
by Special Review Standard, Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article II, Division 4, Section 23. Staff
comments made during this phase of the Use by Special Review process may not be all-inclusive, as
other issues may arise during the remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
Weld County Road Classification Plan (FHU):
WCR 6 is a local gravel road and requires a 60-foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60-
foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the
Weld County Zoning (23-1-90), the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line.
Access:
The applicant has obtained an access permit for a new access onto WCR 6.
1. If a drainage culvert is required, a 15-inch corrugated metal pipe is the County's minimum size
requirement.
Road Access Culverts Sec. 8-3-10. Installation of culvert. The owner of the property shall pay for
materials and the cost of installation for new road access culverts whenever the installation of a
culvert is made necessary by the creation of a new access from private property to a County
road, by any alteration of the natural flow of water across private property by the owner, or for any
other reason created by any owner of private property. The culvert shall be installed according to
the specification of the Department of Public Work as to size and location in the County rights-of-
way or other County property in which such culverts may be installed. The culvert size will be
determined in accordance with standards engineering practices. The property owner shall be
responsible for cleaning the borrow ditch to the extent required to accommodate the road access
culvert and insuring proper drainage.
2. The access drive shall be surfaced with gravel, asphalt, concrete or the equivalent and shall be
graded to prevent drainage problems.
3. Pursuant to Chapter 15, Articles I and II of the Weld County Code, if noxious weeds exist on the
property or become established as a result of the proposed development, the
applicant/landowner shall be responsible for controlling the noxious weeds. All vegetation, other
than grasses, needs to be maintained at a maximum height of 12 inches until the area is
completely developed.
Storm Water Drainage:
The applicant has provided a water quality depression that is acceptable to the Public Works department.
1. The historical flow patterns and run-off amounts will be maintained on site in such a manner that
it will reasonably preserve the natural character of the area and prevent property damage of the
type generally attributed to run-off rate and velocity increases, diversions, concentration and/or
unplanned ponding of storm run-off.

MEMORANDUM
WillTO: CHRIS GATHMAN, PLANNING SERVICES
CFROM: MARY EVETT,SUBJECT: USR-1763 3 SOTOVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
COLORADO DATE: OCTOBER 8, 2010
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a commercial rodeo
facility, to include an outdoor (training) arena and animal sheds. According to the
application, the rodeo facility will operate from March through September. The hours of
operation will be from noon to 8 pm, on Saturdays. There will be an estimated 450
patrons and 9 employees at the site.
There is an existing 3 bedroom modular home on the property that is served by an
individual sewage disposal system (Permit No. SP-0100054). According to the septic
permit, there is an individual well that serves the home (Well Permit #230870). A copy
of Well Permit #230870 needs to be submitted to Environmental Health Services.
The patrons and employees for the rodeo facility must have access to potable water,
restrooms and hand washing facilities. The applicant is proposing to use portable toilets
for the public and employees. The following section is from Environmental Health
Services, Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment, Septic Policies:
Policy 2.2.K Use of Portable Toilets
Purpose: To define when Portable Toilets may be used in lieu of a vault or
septic system.
Policy: Portable toilets may be utilized on sites for temporary and seasonal use
for up to six months as part of the Temporary Seasonal Permits issued by Weld
County Planning for situations such as fireworks stands, Christmas tree stands,
seasonal recreational facilities, etc.
As noted above, it is the policy of this department that portable toilets are allowed when
a use is temporary or seasonal for a time period of six months or less. As the time
period exceeds 6 months in duration, the use of portable toilets cannot be allowed as
the facility is not a seasonal use.
This Department will require the installation of permanent restroom and hand wash
facilities. The installation of the restrooms will require a septic permit through this
• Department. As this is a commercial facility, the septic system must be designed by an
engineer and approved by the Weld County Board of Health.
According to the application, water is provided by a commercial well; however the
applicant did not provide a copy of the commercial well permit. The applicant will need
to submit documentation from the Colorado Division of Water Resources which verifies
the well is appropriately permitted for the proposed use.
The waste handling plan included a copy of a contract with the commercial disposal
company, Gator Rubbish Removal LLC, who will provide a dumpster and will remove
trash and garbage on a weekly basis. The plan also indicates that manure will be
composted on site. The plan should also describe how the composted manure will be
managed, removed, land applied, etc.
According to the application, dust will be controlled by watering the ground; however,
there was no mention of the water source. If the well water is utilized for dust control, it
must be appropriately permitted for this purpose. Noise will be restricted to the level
allowed in the non-specified zone district.
We have no objections to the proposal; however, we do recommend that the following
conditions be part of any approval:
We recommend that the following requirements be met prior to allowing the plat to be
Ill recorded:
1. The applicant shall submit a dust abatement plan, detailing on site dust control
measures, for review and approval, to the Environmental Health Services, Weld
County Department of Public Health & Environment.
2. An individual sewage disposal system is required for the proposed rodeo facility
and shall be installed according to the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal
Regulations. The septic system is required to be designed by a Colorado
Registered Professional Engineer according to the Weld County Individual
Sewage Disposal Regulations.
3. In the event the septic system requires a design capacity of over 2,000 gallons of
sewage per day the applicants shall provide evidence that all requirements of the
Water Quality Control Division (WQCD) of the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment (specifically Policies WQSA-6 and WQSA-8 ) have been
satisfied. Evidence of compliance shall be provided to the Weld County
Department of Public Health and Environment. Alternately, the applicant can
provide evidence from the WQCD that they are not subject to these
requirements.
2
4. The applicant shall submit evidence of an Underground Injection Control (UIC)
Class V Injection Well permit from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
for any large-capacity septic system (a septic system with the capacity to serve
20 or more persons per day). Alternately, the applicant can provide evidence
from the EPA that they are not subject to the EPA Class V requirements.
5. Provide written documentation to the Weld County Department of Public Health
and Environment from the Colorado Division of Water Resources which verifies
the well is appropriately permitted for the proposed use.
6. The applicant shall submit a waste handling plan, for approval, to the
Environmental Health Services Division of the Weld County Department of Public
Health & Environment. The plan shall include at a minimum, the following:
1) A list of wastes which are expected to be generated on site (this should
include expected volumes and types of waste generated).
2) A list of the type and volume of chemicals expected to be stored on site.
3) The waste handler and facility where the waste will be disposed (including
the facility name, address, and phone number).
We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as
IIdevelopment standards:
1. Animal and feed wastes, bedding, debris and other organic wastes shall be
disposed of so that vermin infestation, flies, odors, disease hazards, and
nuisances are minimized.
2. All liquid and solid wastes (as defined in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and
Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S., as amended) shall be stored and removed for
final disposal in a manner that protects against surface and groundwater

3. No permanent disposal of wastes shall be permitted at this site. This is not meant
to include those wastes specifically excluded from the definition of a solid waste in
the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S., as
amended.
4. Waste materials shall be handled, stored, and disposed in a manner that controls

Chris,
Since the applicant intends to operate from March to August (6 months or less), then
bottled water, portable hand washing units and portable toilets may be used for employees and
patrons. The number of portable toilet units shall be based upon the Stanford Event and
Labor Services Chart.
tease revise the draft Administrative Review as follows:
1. I noted that you added a Development Standard regarding the Commercial Well permit No.
70020-F. I did not receive a copy of the permit from the applicant. If the commercial well is
approved for this operation, then remove Condition 1. F. of "Prior to recording the plat."
2. Add the following Development Standards:
- "The Stanford Event and Labor Services portable toilet chart shall be adhered to as a
minimum guideline. Records of maintenance and proper disposal shall be retained on a
seasonal basis."
- "Adequate toilet facilities (portable toilets) and hand washing units shall be provided for
employees and patrons of the facility. A minimum of six portable toilets are required for any
event that occurs over a 6 hour time frame. Eight portable toilets will be required for any
event that exceeds a 6 hour time period. At least one unit should be handicap accessible. A
minimum of two portable hand washing stations shall be provided."
- "If applicable, the applicant shall obtain a stormwater discharge permit from the Colorado
Department of Public Health & Environment, Water Quality Control Division."
3. Please revise Development Standard #21 to read: "This application is utilizing a well as
its source of water. The applicant should be made aware that groundwater may not meet all
ranking water standards as defined by the Colorado Department of Public Health and
vironment. We strongly encourage the applicant to test their drinking water prior to
onsumption and periodically test it over time."

4. Please remove Development Standard #22 regarding permanent restroom facilities, and remove
Development Standards 24, 26, 27, and 28 (these are duplicates) .

To: Chris Gathman, Planner September 22, 2010
From: Bethany Salzman, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR-1763 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV09-00217)was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the operation of commercial rodeo events without first submitting and
completing the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case was presented to the Board of County
Commissioners through the Violation Hearing process on November 10, 2009. At that Violation Hearing,
the Board of County Commissioners referred this case to the County Attorney's Office, but delayed legal
action for 60 days (01/11/10). Since the extension granted by the Board of County Commissioners has
expired, the investigation fee is required.
Complaint was initially received from the public; however,additional complaints have been received by the
Sheriffs Office for ongoing events.
This application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners and once a plat is recorded will
correct the violation. If this application is denied, all rodeo events shall immediately cease or the Violation
case will proceed accordingly through the Court process.

RE: Case No. USR-1763; Juan Soto, Applicant
Sec. 27, TIN, R66W, 6th P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 2
Dear Mr. Gathman:
We have reviewed the above referenced application for a site specific development plan
and use by special review permit for a commercial rodeo/roping arena on a 10 acre parcel. The
submitted material does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28-
101(10)(a) C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 memorandum to
county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information
and provide comments. The comments will not address the adequacy of the water supply plan
Il for this property or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or
requirements.
The water source for the proposed arena is a commercial well, permit no. 70020-F. This
permit was issued on July 7, 2010 and allows the use of up to 2.8 acre-feet of water per year for
commercial purposes. A copy of this permit and related application materials is available from
the Division of Water Resources website at http://www.water.state.co.us/.
So long as the well with permit no. 70020-F is operated in accordance with its permitted
conditions, this office has no objection to this project. If you have any questions, please contact
Sarah Reinsel of this office.
Sincerely, /A
