RESOLUTION OF RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
• Moved by Bill Hall, that the following resolution be introduced for passage by the Weld County Planning
Commission. Be it resolved by the Weld County Planning Commission that the application for:
CASE NUMBER: USR-1759
APPLICANT: Kurt& Becki Schwader
PLANNER: Michelle Martin
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Use
Permitted as a Use by Right,Accessory Use, or Use by Special Review in the
Commercial or Industrial Zone District(heating and air conditioning) in the A
(Agricultural)Zone District.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot A RE-2139 being part of the W2 NW4 of Section 14, T4N, R68W of the 6th
P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
LOCATION: South of and adjacent to CR 46; East of and adjacent to 1-25 Frontage Rd.
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.
Section 22-2-150D.A Goal 4 states: "Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban residential,
commercial and industrial uses will be accommodated when the subject site is in an area that
can support such development. Such development shall attempt to be compatible with the
• region." Development Standards and Conditions of Approval will ensure that the proposed
use will be compatible with the area. The surrounding property is primarily agricultural in
nature. Section 23-2-240.A.10 of the Weld County Codes states "...that buffering or
screening of the proposed use from adjacent properties may be required in order to make the
determination that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding uses." The applicant
has landscaped the western portion of the property with trees and bushes. As a condition of
approval the applicant will be required to screen the outdoor storage and parking areas
associated with the business from the surrounding property owners and public rights of way.
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.R of the Weld County Code allows for A Site Specific
Development Plan and Special Review Permit for A Use Permitted as a Use by Right, an
Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts,
(heating and air conditioning business) in the A(Agricultural) Zone District
Currently the property is in violation(ZCV09-00371)for the operation of a business company
without the necessary land use permits. If the USR is approved,the violation will be closed. If
denied, the case will continue through the court process.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses.
The surrounding property to the south and east have been annexed by the Town of Berthoud,
Interstate 25 (1-25) borders the property on the west and the property to the north is zoned
Agricultural (A) with a single family home approximately 340 feet from the property in
question. No comments have been received from the surrounding property owners.
Therefore, given the minimal impact of the proposed business, the use will be compatible
with the 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 property is not located within an Intergovernmental Agreement Area but does lies within
the three mile referral area for the Towns of Berthoud, Johnstown and Mead. The Town of
Berthoud and the Town of Johnstown in their respective referrals dated 8/25/2010 and
8/18/2010 indicated they have no conflicts with the proposed development. The Town of
Mead did not respond to the referral request. The surrounding area is Agricultural in nature
with single family residences in the area. Staff believes that the Conditions of Approval and
Development Standards will ensure that the use will be compatible with existing surrounding
land uses.
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.
Effective January 1, 2003, Building Permits issued on the proposed lots will be required to
adhere to the fee structure of the County Road Impact Program. (Ordinance 2002-11)
Effective August 1, 2005, Building permits issued on the subject site will be required to
adhere to the fee structure of the Capital Expansion Impact Fee. (Ordinance 2005-8,Section
5-8-40)
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 subject site is classified as "Prime (Irrigated) Farmlands of National Importance" as
delineated on the Important Farmlands of Weld County map, dated 1979. This size of the
parcel(2.87 acres)and the property is currently developed therefore the proposed USR is not
taking any additional 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.
This recommendation is based, in part, upon a review of the application materials submitted by the
applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.
The Planning Commission recommendation for approval is conditional upon the following:
1. The plat shall be amended to delineate the following:
A. All sheets of the plat shall be labeled USR-1759. (Department of Planning Services)
B. The attached Development Standards. (Department of Planning Services)

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.

The Department of Planning Services is requiring that dogs be kept indoors overnight. These and additional
• development standards and conditions of approval will ensure compatibility with the adjacent land uses.
Thirteen referral agencies reviewed this case; seven referral comments were received and either indicated no
conflict with their interests or have been addressed through conditions of approval or development standards.
The site is located within the three mile referral area of the Towns of Platteville and Gilcrest. No referral
responses have been received from either municipality. No letters or phone calls have been received from
surrounding property owners in regard to this case.
The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application along with the attached
development standards and conditions of approval.
Mary Evett, Environmental Health, commented that there is an existing septic system permitted for a two
bedroom residence, which is equivalent to four people. Water is supplied by Central Weld County Water
District. Clients will be coming to the site and will need access to the restroom and potable water facilities. If
the existing septic system will be used for the kennel operation then it needs to be evaluated by an engineer to
determine if it is adequate. Alternately,a separate septic system designed by an engineer may be installed for
the kennel operation. Staff is requesting that Central Weld County Water District submit documentation that
they have no objection to this request.
Heidi Hansen, Public Works, commented that County Road 29 is a local,gravel road which requires 60 feet of
right-of-way; currently there is 60 feet of right-of-way. The applicant is going to use the existing residential
access to the parcel. The applicant has provided a water quality depression to control stormwater run-off.
James Meining, 16662 CR 29, Platteville CO, commented that they started this operation to help out their
children with 4-H and FFA projects. Currently there are 12 dogs onsite. They have received the license from
the State of Colorado Pet Animal Care Facilities Association (PACFA).
• Bill Hall asked if they frequently have customers come to the site. Mr. Meining said that they have litters once
every three to four months, so when clients come it is sporadic. He added that they occasionally may come
back to look at the dogs again to decide.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. No
one wished to speak.
The Chair asked the applicant if he has read through the Development Standards and Conditions of Approval
and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that he is in agreement.
Robert Grand moved that Case USR-1756, be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners along with
the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's recommendation of
approval, seconded by Alexander Zauder.
The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Nick
Berryman,yes; Erich Ehrlich,yes; Robert Grand, yes; Bill Hall,yes;Alexander Zauder,yes;Jason Maxey,yes;
Roy Spitzer, yes; Mark Lawley, yes; Tom Holton, yes. Motion carried unanimously.

Michelle Martin, Planning Services, stated that currently the property is in violation (ZCV09-00371) for the
• operation of a business without the necessary land use permits. If the USR is approved, the violation will be
closed. If denied, the case will continue through the court process.
The surrounding properties to the south and east have been annexed by the Town of Berthoud. Interstate 25
(1-25)borders the property on the west and the property to the north is zoned agricultural with a single-family
home approximately 340 feet from the property in question. No comments have been received from the
surrounding property owners.
The property is not located within an Intergovernmental Agreement Area but does lies within the three mile
referral area for the Towns of Berthoud, Johnstown and Mead. The Town of Berthoud and the Town of
Johnstown in their respective referrals dated August 25, 2010 and August 18, 2010 indicated they have no
conflicts with the proposed development. The Town of Mead did not respond to the referral request. The
surrounding area is agricultural in nature with single-family residences in the area. Staff believes that the
Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will ensure that the use will be compatible with existing
surrounding land uses.
Planning Staff is recommending approval of the application along with the attached conditions of approval and
development standards.
Lauren Light, Environmental Health, commented that water is provided by Little Thompson Water District and
they have provided a letter indicating that they can provide service for the business. There is an existing
septic system for the house that requires an engineered evaluation if they will use it for employees. Ms. Light
stated that the Plat drawing indicates that there is a septic system by the office building; however there is no
permit on file for that system.
Heidi Hansen, Public Works, commented that County Road 46 is a local, gravel road requiring 60 feet of right-
of-way and it is current. The applicant has indicated that the main access to the property is off of the 1-25
• Frontage Road. CDOT has indicated that since traffic is not expected to increase no evaluation of the access
was warranted. The private residential driveway from County Road 46 is gated and would not be used for any
commercial purposes. There is one other access onto County Road 46 along the eastern property line that is
only for emergency vehicle access. The onsite activity is very low impact and there is no outdoor storage
related to the business and no large commercial vehicles;therefore no water quality depression was required.
Becki Schwader, 940 W 7th St, Loveland CO, stated that they are a heating and air conditioning company.
They purchased the property in 1998 and have been operating their business for 12 years without any
negative complaints. She requested that this case be approved.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. No
one wished to speak.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that they are in agreement.
