11. List the types,number and uses of the existing and proposed structures.
The subject property contains an approximately 5,660-sf dwelling, a 4,000 sf. and 2,400
sf equipment building,three 120 sf. utility buildings, an approximately 80 sf. shed, a 336
sf. and 288 sf. livestock shelter, a 1,225-sf. stable, and livestock lean-to's that will all
remain. These existing structures will continue to be used for the primary residential uses
and are not proposed to be used with the commercial operation.
An office is proposed to be constructed along WCR 36 in addition to two approximately
60' x 152' shop buildings. The remaining area will be used for equipment storage and
vehicle parking. The site will be screened and fenced for security purposes. No other
improvements are proposed at this time.

asphalt, gravel,landscaping,dirt,grass,buildings).
Lot surface areas are included in the Preliminary Drainage Report, which was prepared
for this USR application.
16. How many parking spaces are proposed?How many handicapped-accessible parking
spaces are proposed?
50 commercial semi-truck parking spaces are proposed and 30 standard spaces are
provided, 3 of which will be handicapped-accessible parking spaces. Parking is proposed
to be circulated so when an employee picks up a commercial vehicle, they may park their
personal vehicle in that space. These are shown on the USR site plan.
17. Describe the existing and proposed fencing and screening for the site including all parking
and outdoor storage areas.
There is no existing screening on site. Opaque fencing is proposed around the USR
operations area.
18. Describe the existing and proposed landscaping for the site.
Landscaping on site is limited to around the residential area. The majority of the site
contains native grasses and a few limited areas with trees primarily focused near the
Neres Canal.
19. Describe reclamation procedures to be employed as stages of the operation are phased out
or upon cessation of the Use by Special Review activity.
Upon cessation of the USR activity, equipment specific to the business will be removed.
The existing structures will remain for residential or agricultural use. A USR is a vested
property right that remains with the land until such time as the use is changed or the USR
is formally vacated.
20. Describe the proposed fire protection measures.
Fire protection for the site is provided by the Platte Valley Fire Protection District. The
fire protection measures for the proposed shop will be evaluated at the time of building
permit through the Fire District Notification process.
21. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan per
Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code.
The approval of this request is consistent with Section 22-2-10 B. of the Weld County
Code, which states "One of the basic principles upon which the United States was
founded is the right of citizens to own and utilize property so long as that use complies
with local regulations and does not interfere with or infringe upon the rights of others."
Page 5 of 8
The proposed use will not inhibit agricultural production or operations and is harmonious
with the surrounding land uses.
22. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the zone district in which it is
located. (Intent statements can be found at the beginning of each zone district section in
Article III of Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code.)
The A (Agricultural) Zone District is intended to provide areas for the conduct of
agricultural activities and activities related to agriculture and agricultural production, and
for areas for natural resource extraction and energy development, without the interference
of other incompatible land uses. The proposed use supports the natural resource
extraction and energy development occurring in Weld County. In addition, Article III of
