BEFORE THE WELD COUNTY, COLORADO, PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION OF RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Moved by Robert Grand, 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: 3RD AMUSR-542
APPLICANT: DCP Midstream
PLANNER: Kim Ogle
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development and Third Amended Use by Special Review for a
Mineral Resource Development Facility, including an Oil and Gas Support and
Service Facility (oil and gas processing facility) in the A (Agricultural) Zone
District.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the SE4 and more particularly described as Lot B of Corrected RE -3203
of Section 35, T4N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
LOCATION: North of and adjacent to CR 38; west of and adjacent to CR 35.
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 22-5-100.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 22-5-100.6
(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 Third
amendment to an existing permitted facility. The original USR was applied for by
Associated Natural Gas Incorporated, in 1983. The application was for a natural gas
processing plant and support facilities. The amended USR was applied for by
Associated Natural Gas Incorporated, in 1985. The application was for upgrades to the
existing facility. The second amended application served as a baseline for future
improvements to the site, including upgrades to the facility and due to a change in
ownership of the facility. This Third amendment is for an expansion of the current facility
necessitated by the need to move larger volumes of gas and enhance safety of the
facility due to the recent increases in drilling activity and projected additional increases by
DCP Midstream producer customers
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.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with th
existing surrounding land uses. The property slopes gradually to the north with n
significant topographical change. To the north is the Platte Valley Canal and agricultura
lands; to the east, west and south are also agricultural lands. Several USRs are in th -
general vicinity of this facility. To the south at the intersection of County Roads 40 and
35 is an oil and gas equipment storage facility for Snyder Oil Corporation (USR-1018); t
the west connecting into this facility is a ten (10) inch gas line for Western Gas Suppl
Company (USR-958) and 1/2 mile to the east is compressor station permitted for

Panhandle Eastern Pipeline (SUP -355). There are four property owners within five
hundred feet of this facility. The nearest residence is to the southwest of the facility.
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 site is within the three mile referral area of the Town
of Gilcrest. The Town of Gilcrest did not return a referral.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Section 23-5 of the Weld County
Code. The existing site is not within a recognized overlay district, including the Geologic
Hazard, Flood Hazard or Airport Overlay District. The existing site is within the County-
wide Road Impact Fee Area.
Effective January 1, 2003, Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to
the County Wide Road Impact Fee Program.
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 was
acquired by the Duke Energy Field Services Division in 1983. Previous to this acquisition
the facility was permitted and operated by Associated Natural Gas Incorporated for
approximately twenty years.
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.
The Planning Commission recommendation for approval is conditional upon the following:

A. The plat shall be amended to delineate the following:
