surrounding land uses. The site is currently operating under USR-1493. A single family
home and USR-1402 for a maintenance shop and storage are located to the north of the site.
USR-969 for a water ski club is located to the west of the site. The properties to the south
are zoned 1-3 (Industrial). The Union Pacific railroad is located to the east of the site along
with Greenleaf Wholesale Florist, Inc. The applicant has delineated on the plat an eight(8')
foot high solid fence along the perimeter of the site. The proposed Screening Plan is for the
outdoor storage of vehicles, equipment or materials from adjacent properties and future
rights-of-way. USR-1493 boundary is currently screened along with one of the additional lots
included in this amendment on the north side adjacent to County Road 27. A four(4)acre
site located in the center of the site is designated as a storage area for non-standard vehicle.
Development Standard#30 states"All outdoor storage materials exceeding eight(8)feet in
height shall be located within the four acre"non-standard vehicle area"as shown on the plat
Resolution AmUSR-1493

for the screening of the outdoor storage.
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 located within the three mile referral area for the City of Fort
Lupton, the City of Brighton and Adams County. Adams County did not respond to the
referral indicating no concern with their interests. The City of Fort Lupton in their referral
dated May 31, 2006 indicated that they have reviewed the request and find no conflict with
their interests. The City of Brighton in their referral dated June 23, 2006 outlined their
concerns in regards to the Industrial Zone District, vandalism of the fencing, landscaping
treatments, height restrict (screening of vehicles) and how the site is compatible with the
Weld County Code. Specifically the City of Brighton is requesting the following two items;
1. An adjustment of the site plan in order to set the fence further within the
property and the placement of evergreen trees on the outside of the fence
along County Road 27 in order to provide visual breaks in the fence and to
decrease vast expanses of fencing, which may help deter vandals in
"tagging"the perimeter fencing. If this is not acceptable,the City would ask
that a requirement be added for routine maintenance of the perimeter fence;
and
2. The storage of material over eight feet in height will not be allowed. If this is
not acceptable, the City would ask that a requirement be added such that
additional screening measures are taken on the west side of the property in
order to block views into the site from US-85 due to elevation changes
between the roadway and site.
e. Section 23-2-220.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)
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)
f. 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.
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.
The Planning Commission's recommendation for approval is conditional upon the following:
