COLORADO Planner: Michelle Martin Hearing Date: February 20, 2007 Case Number:USR-1591 Address: PO Box 10 Commerce City, CO 80037 Applicant: Gib Smith Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for A Use Permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts, (outdoor storage for trucks, trailers, recreational vehicles, boats, and equipment) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Legal Description: Part of E2 of the NE4 of Section 7, T2N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO Location: North of and adjacent to County Road 22.5 and East of and adjacent to County Road 25.5 Size of Parcel: 35 +/- acres Parcel Number: 1309 07 100032 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 22-2-60 (A.Goal 4) states, "Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban residential, commercial and industrial uses will be accommodated when the subject site is in an area that can support such development. Such development shall attempt to be compatible with the region." Application materials indicate that the site can support the proposed use. Conditions of Approval and Development Standards ensure that a reasonable USR-1591 Smith 3 attempt will be made to be compatible with the region. 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.R of the Weld County Code provides for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for A Use Permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial zone districts, (outdoor storage for trucks, trailers, recreational vehicles, boats, and equipment) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Currently the property is in violation (VI-0600412) for the presence of multiple pieces of commercial equipment and vehicles without an approved and recorded Use by Special Review permit (USR). If the USR is approved the violation will be closed. If denied, staff would request that thirty (30) days be allowed for all commercial equipment and vehicles to be completely removed from the property before proceeding with legal action in District Court. C. Section 23-2-220.A.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. The adjacent property to the north has a Use by Special Review (USR-911) for tractor and farm implement sales. The property to the south was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on 12/27/06 for a Use by Special Review(USR-1564)for an auction yard. State Highway 85 borders the property on the east. The property to the west is primarily agricultural with a few residences. The Department of Planning Services has not received any letters from the surrounding property owners. The Development Standards and Conditions of Approval will ensure compatibility with adjacent properties and the character of the area. 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 subject property lies within the three mile referral area of the Town of Platteville and the City of Fort Lupton. The Town of Platteville in their referral dated 12/13/06 stated that if the commercial/industrial oriented use is to be granted, the applicant should not be allowed to build a house on the property. However, section 23-3-20.A of the Weld County Code allows for one (1) single-family dwelling unit and auxiliary quarters per legal lot. The City of Fort Lupton in their referral dated 12/4/06 indicated they have reviewed the request and find no conflicts with their interests. E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Section 23-5 of the Weld County Code. 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) 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) (Department of Planning Services) USR-1591 Smith 4 F.

The subject site is designated Prime Irrigated Farmlands of National Importance by the 1979 USDA Soil Conservation Services map. The lot consists of 35 acres and is too small to be a viable farming operation as defined by Section 22-2-60.1 of the Weld County Code. 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.
