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 22-5-80.B (CM.Goal 2) states
"Promote the reasonable and orderly development of mineral resources". The proposal
will have little impact on the surrounding area or subject properties.
b. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural)Zone District. Section of the Weld County Code provides for oil and gas

c. Section 23-2-220.A.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. The use is located on agricultural land. The nearest two
residences are approximately 1/4 of a mile to the southeast and northeast of the site
respectively. The Kodak facility is located approximately 1/4 mile to the west of the site.
There are already existing oil production facilities on the site (tank battery, separator&
meter house, utilized by Noble Energy).
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 not located within an urban growth area nor
intergovernmental agreement boundary. The site is located within the 3-mile referral area
for the Cities of Greeley and Windsor and the Town of Severance. The Town of Windsor,
in their referral dated February 3, 2006 did not indicate concerns with the proposed
special use permit but is requesting that the applicant submit information regarding
potential future drilling sites. No referrals have been received from the City of Greeley and
Town of Severance.
e. Section 23-2-220.A.5--The application complies with Section 23-5 of the Weld County

prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use. The site is located
on land designated as"prime", however the property is not zoned agricultural and the tank
facilities will take up a small portion of the site (+/- 10 acres).
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
