Legal Description: Lot A of AMRE-2363 being Part of SE4 of Section 14, T2N, R64W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO. Location: West of and adjacent to CR 59 and north of and adjacent to CR 20. • Size of Parcel: 10 +/-acres Parcel Number: 1305 14 400017 THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE DENIED 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 not shown compliance with Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows: A. 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. Section 22-2-60.B A.Goal 2. Conversion of agricultural land to urban scale residential, commercial and industrial uses will be considered when the subject site is located inside an approved intergovernmental agreement area, urban growth boundary area, Mixed Use Development areas or urban development nodes, or where adequate services are currently available or reasonably obtainable. This goal is intended to address conversion • of agricultural land to minimize the incompatibilities that occur between uses in the agricultural zone district and other zoned districts that allow urban uses. The property is not located within an approved intergovernmental agreement area, urban USR-1650 Stahla Page 2 growth boundary area, Mixed Use Development areas or urban development nodes. The • property is located within the three (3) mile referral area for the Town of Keenesburg. The Town of Keenesburg in their referral dated February 22, 2008 state that they have reviewed the request and find that it does not comply with their comprehensive plan. The property is located within three miles of Keenesburg town limits and within their future growth boundary and has been planned for agricultural use rather than commercial. Section 19-5-50.8 of the Coordinated Planning Agreement with the Town of Keenesburg states "Development outside urban growth area (IGA). To the extent legally possible the County will disapprove proposals for urban development in areas of the municipal referral area outside the urban growth area. The Department of Planning Services has determined that the proposed commercial/ industrial use projected for this site while located outside the Town's IGA boundary is located within referral area and as outlined in the referral from the Town of Keenesburg is not compatible with the comprehensive plan for the Town. 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. Should the Planning Commission approve this request, the Department of Planning Services recommends that the following conditions of approval and development standards be attached: 1.

WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM: Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States, ranking fifth in total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize and accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with longstanding agricultural practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural area: open views, spaciousness, wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without neighboring farms, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly be gone forever. Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-established agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well run agricultural activities will generate off-site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow-moving farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest, and gravel roads; odor from animal confinement, silage, and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes; and the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. Ditches and reservoirs cannot simply be moved out of the way of residential development without threatening the efficient delivery of irrigation to fields which is essential to farm production. Section 35-3.5-102, C. R. S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production. Weld County covers a land area of over 4,000 square miles in size (twice the State of Delaware) with more than 3,700 miles of state and County roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on patrols of the county and the distances which must be • traveled may delay all emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Snow removal for roads within subdivisions are of the lowest priority for public works or may be the private responsibility of the homeowners. Services in rural areas, in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers. Children are exposed to different hazards in the county than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sand burs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs, and livestock present real threats to children. Controlling children's activities is important, not only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood. Parents are responsible for their children. • USR-1650 Stahla Page 10 • • 6 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES SOUTHWEST OFFICE iv-- 424 LONGMONT, COC 80504 PHONE: (720)652-4210, Ext. 8730 FAX: (720)652-4211 W COLORADO January 25, 2008 Stahla Homes do Robb Casseday Casseday Creative Designs 55 S Elm Av, Ste 210 Eaton CO 80615 Subject: USR-1650- Request for a Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a Use by Right, an accessory use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone District(Propane Storage and Office) in the A(Agricultural) Zone District on a parcel of land described as Lot A of AmRE-2363 being Part of SE4 of Section 14, T2N, R64W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.

The applicant shall provide the Weld County Planning Department with written certification indicating the above requirements have been met.
