Size of Parcel: 203 +/- acres •Parcel Number: 0537-04-0-00-001 • Area of USR: 10 Acre +/- 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 22-5-100.A (OG.Goal 1. ) states, "Oil and gas exploration and production should occur in a manner which minimizes the impact to agricultural uses and the environment and reduces the conflicts between mineral development and current and future surface uses." Further, Section 22-5-100.B (OG.Goal.2) states, "The extraction of oil and gas resources should conserve the land and minimize the impact on surrounding land." The request for a Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a Mineral Resource Development Facility including a Natural Gas Processing Facility in the A (Agricultural) Zone District is the site of an existing compressor station site which was approved in 1989 by Red Wave, Limited. Petro -Canada obtained the assets at the Lilli Gas Plant in December 2008 from Walsh Production, Inc. The proposed facility is required by the need to move larger volumes of gas from the Grover Compressor facility (USR-1703) onto the Lilli Gas Processing facility due to the recent increases in drilling activity Petro -Canada Resources (USA), Inc. Bringleson Ranch, LLC Lilli Gas Processing Facility Page 2 • • • and projected additional increases in the Grover field system. The proposed upgrades include the following and associated equipment: an amine gas treating to remove carbon dioxide; molecular sieve dehydration; propane refrigeration and a cryogenic expander gas processing plant. This upgraded facility will also include a new computer based process control system for plant and equipment monitoring. B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Section 23-3-40.A.2 of the Weld County Code provides for Oil and Gas Support and Service as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, more specifically described as a Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a Mineral Resource Development Facility for Oil and Gas Support and Service, including a Natural Gas Processing Facility 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. The proposed facility is on a ten -acre parcel utilized as a compressor station. The property is fenced with three stand barb wire on wood posts with a metal gate at the point of ingress and egress. Adjoining lands to the existing facility are used for grazing, limited agricultural development and oil and gas production. Aside from Bringleson Ranches, LLC there are two property owners within five hundred feet of this application, with the nearest residence located 4 miles south of the facility. Staff has received no correspondence (electronic and/ or letters), telephone inquiries or inspection of the case file by interested parties. 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 existing facility is not within the three mile referral area for a municipality. The Town of New Raymer is approximately 5 miles to the northwest. The facility is remote in location with limited access. E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Section 23-5 of the Weld County Code. 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 and the Stormwater/ Drainage 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. This facility is sited on a 10 acre site within a 203 acre parcel on lands utilized as an oil and gas production facility. The site continues to be utilized for the Petro Canada Lilli Plant facility. G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 -- 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 ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.
