Applicant: Kerr-McGee Gathering, LLC Address:1999 Broadway, Suite 3600
Denver, Colorado 80202
Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a
Mineral Resource Development Facility including Oil and Gas Support
and Services in the A (Agricultural) Zone District (Amine Plant at the
Platteville Compressor Station)
Legal Description: Part of the W2, NE4, SE4 and the E2, NW4, SE4 of Section 13 Township
3 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado
Location: 1/4 mile West of Weld County Road 37 and approximately 1/4 mile North
of Weld County Road 32
Parcel Size: 40 +/- acres
Parcel Number: 1211 13 000028
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 22-5-100.A.1.of the
Comprehensive Plan states, "Oil and gas exploration and production should occur
in a manner which minimizes the impact to agricultural uses and the environment
and reduces the conflicts between mineral development and current and future
surface uses". The site is designated as "Other" on the Important Farmlands of
Weld County map dated 1979. The proposed site will not make agricultural
practices less efficient and will be within the current boundaries of the existing
permit.
fl—‘
AmUSR-1280, Kerr-McGee Gathering,LLC 2
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.A.2. of the Weld County Code provides
for a Mineral Resource Development Facility including Oil and Gas Support and
Services as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. This is
an amendment to the existing Use by Special Review permit, USR-1280 as
approved by the Board of County Commissioners on October 4, 2000.
c. Section 23-2-220.A.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. The site covers the entire southeast quarter of the
section. The topography slopes from the northwest to the southeast and consists
of valent sand and vona loamy sand soil types. It is surrounded to the north by the
Denver International Airport radar station, to the west and south by oil wells and
tank batteries. Beebe Draw Subdivision is situated more than one mile to the east
There are two houses approximately one quarter mile to the northwest of the plant
and one house located to the southeast of the site on Weld County Road 32. The
addition of the amine plant equipment will have little, if any, additional impact on
surrounding properties.
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 any
Intergovernmental Agreement areas or the three mile referral area of an
municipality.
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 an Overlay District.
f. Section 23-2-220.A.6--The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve
prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use. The land is
designated "Other" as shown on the Important Farmlands of Colorado map dated
1979. No prime farmland will be taken out of production.
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.
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.
