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

Part of the NW4 of Section 4, T10N, R61 W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado

136 +/- acres Area of USR: 1 Acre +/-
0291-04-0-00-006
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23-2-260 of
the Weld County Code.
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 abandoned
compressor station site which was originally leased by Juniper Gas Gathering System in
1986. There is no evidence of a land use permit for this facility. The proposed facility is
required by the need to move larger volumes of gas from this facility onto the Lilli Gas

Processing facility (which is located in the SW4 Section 4, T8N, R58W) due to the recent
increases in drilling activity and projected additional increases in the Grover field system.
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 one -acre parcel formerly 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. In all directions, agricultural lands dominate: to
the North of CR 122 are undeveloped range and grazing land with oil and gas wells and tank
batteries; to the South are lands associated with range/grazing and oil and gas development;
to the West are range/grazing lands and the Town Limits for the Town of Grover; and to the
East are range/grazing lands and oil and gas wells. There are six property owners within five
hundred feet of this application, with the nearest residence being 1500 feet southwest and
2000 feet west of the proposed facility. Staff has received no correspondence (electronic
and/ or letters), telephone inquiries or inspection of the case file by interested parties.
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 site is within the three mile referral area of the Town of Grover;
the Town indicated in their referral response dated July 28, 2009 several issues that require
mitigation including, noise, traffic, and visual aesthetics. The Town noted that Petro -Canada
appeared sensitive to the concerns raised and indicated that every effort would be
undertaken to mitigate the concerns raised. The Department of Planning Services is
requiring a Site Screening Plan, and a Site Lighting Plan as part of the Conditions of
Approval.
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 1
acre site within a 136 acre parcel on lands formerly utilized as an oil and gas production
facility. The site now abandoned will be utilized for the Petro Canada 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.
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.
