Section 23-2-230.B.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. The site contains agricultural lands. The proposed use will be compatible with surrounding properties,which include agricultural lands and the LaFarge Riverbend sand and gravel operation [AmUSR-1259]; properties to the northwest are agricultural lands; properties to the north are agricultural lands and outdoor recreation; property to the east is U.S. Highway 85 and the City of Fort Lupton; property to the west has been leased to LaFarge; property to the southeast is a farmstead and vacant land; and property to the south and southeast is agricultural and pasture lands and the future Cell #6 of the Riverbend operation.

The surrounding property is primarily agricultural in nature, with a few homes in the area. The site contains agricultural lands,with the proposed use compatible with surrounding properties which include gravel operations in the general vicinity. U.S. Highway 85 is to the east of the site. The City of Fort Lupton, in its referral dated April 11, 2007, does not object to the application, and the application was referred to the City for action through the Intergovernmental Agreement Notice of Inquiry process. The City requested the applicant complete annexation to the City, since the property is located within the Urban Growth Area boundary; however, following the annexation procedure, the City and the property owner came to an impasse on the terms of the Annexation Agreement. The Agreement called for the owner and the operator to pay an impact fee that was opposed by both the owner and the operator,therefore,the City denied the annexation. Given this position, the City does request that the additional screening blend into the site, adjacent to U.S. Highway 85 and State Highway 52. The Colorado Historical Society, in its referral dated March 1, 2007, stated no surveys for cultural resources have been conducted, and no cultural resource sites are known to be in the proposed permit area, therefore, as a result, the possibility exists that unidentified cultural resources exist within the permit area. Approval of 2007-2263 PL1921 SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT#1608 - HOLTON FAMILY, LLC, C/O READY MIXED CONCRETE COMPANY PAGE 4 this use will not jeopardize the health, safety, or welfare of the surrounding property owners. e.

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 Storm water/Drainage Impact Fee Programs. f. Section 23-2-230.B.6--The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.

Section 22-5-80.A.1 (CM.Policy 1.1) states, "Access to future mineral resource development areas should be considered in all land use decisions in accordance with state law. No County governmental authority which has control over zoning shall, by zoning, rezoning, granting a variance or other official action or inaction, permit the use of any area known to contain a commercial mineral deposit in a manner which would interfere with the present or future extraction of such deposit by an extractor." g.
