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 23-2-260 of the Weld County Code as follows: A. Section 23-2-260.A.1 --The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect. Section 22-2-60.D.A Goal 4 states: "Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban residential, commercial and industrial uses will be accommodated when the subject site is within an area can support such development." The projected population of the congregation as indicated in the application materials,the purported annexation agreement with the town of Firestone and the required improvements to the site will ensure that the area is able to support said use. B. Section 23-2-260.A.2--The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A(Agricultural)Zone District. Section 23-3-40.E.1 of the Weld County Code provides for a church as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Section 23-3-40.E.2 of the Weld County Code provides for a private school as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Section 23-3-40.S of the Weld County Code provides for a child care center as a Use by Special USR-1574, New Hope Family Christian Church 2 Review in the A(Agricultural)Zone District. C. Section 23-2-260.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. Surrounding properties to the north is SUP-118 for a 70,000 unit Turkey Farm,to the northeast is AmSUP-238 for a Compressor Station;to the east are agricultural lands including USR-1231 for the 2500 head Bearson Dairy;to the south are agricultural lands including the 1450 head Busker Dairy and to the west are lands annexed into the Town of Firestone. Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will ensure that this use is compatible with surrounding land uses D. Section 23-2-260.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 subject property lies within the Intergovernmental Agreement Area for the Town of Firestone and is also within the three-mile referral area of the Towns of Frederick and Firestone and the City of Dacono. The Town of Frederick, in a referral dated August 18, 2006 had concerns on the impact of this facility on the surrounding transportation system including roads annexed to the Town. The Town of Firestone and the City of Dacono did not return a referral. There are five property owners within 500 feet of this proposed facility and staff has not received any letters or telephone calls of concern. E. Section 23-2-260.A.5 -- The site does not lie within any Overlay Districts. 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).

The subject site is designated "Prime(Irrigated)"on eighty percent of the site and"Other"on lands adjacent to County Road 18 on the Farmlands of National Importance by the USDA Soil Conservation Services. The small size of the lot (13.8 acres)severely limits its agricultural value. G.
