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 22-2-20 G.2.A.Policy 7.2.
states: "Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban residential, commercial and industrial
uses should be accommodated when the subject site is in an area that can support such
development, and should attempt to be compatible with the region."
The proposed amendment is an expansion of an existing shooting range. The site is
located in a rural area with the nearest three (3) residences located approximately 600-
1,000 feet west and northwest of the USR boundaries. The proposed pistol/rifle ranges
AMUSR-I 105 -Berndt 2
a
r
and RV parking are proposed to be located on the eastern portion of the site which is the
farthest distance from existing residences located to the west of the site.
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.C.4 of the Weld County Code provides for
shooting ranges as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.

east and south where the shooting range and expansion are to be located. The
applicants are proposing to place rifle and pistol ranges, clubhouse, and RV parking and
hookups at the eastern end of the site, further away from existing residences. A Lighting
Plan and a Landscape Plan consistent with original USR-1105 requirements are
proposed along with other Conditions of Approval and Development Standards to
address/ensure compatibility with adjacent 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 site is located within the three-mile referral area for the
Towns of Nunn and Pierce. Both the Town of Nunn and the Town of Pierce indicated no
conflicts with their interests in their respective referrals received 4/28/2009 and 5/4/2009.
a. 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 proposed lots 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. The site is
designated as "Prime if Irrigated" in the western portion of the site and "High Potential Dry
Cropland" in the eastern portion of the site according to the U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation
Map, dated 1979. The western portion of the site is already being utilized as a shooting
range under USR-1105 and the eastern portion of the site is currently dryland.
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.
