Planning Commission. Be it resolved by the Weld County Planning Commission that the application for:
Case Number: USR-1363
Planner: Lauren Light
Applicant: Morning Fresh Farms
15121 Weld County Road 32
Platteville, CO 80651
Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit
for a Livestock Confinement Operation (Commercial Egg Farm,
compost Sales, Wood Grinding Operation and Three Employee
Residences) in the A(Agricultural)Zone District
Legal Description: Pt. of Section 15, Township 3 North, Range 66 West of the 6th
P.M., Weld County, Colorado
Location: East of and adjacent to Weld County Road 31; South of and
adjacent to Weld County Road 34; West of and adjacent to
Weld County Road 33; North of and adjacent to Weld County
Road 32
be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners 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 Planning Commission 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 ordinances in effect. A.Goal 1 states, "Preserve prime
farmland for agricultural purposes which foster the economic health and continuance of
agriculture."The farm is located in an area designated by the USDA Prime Farmlands Map
as "Other" so prime fairground will not be taken out of production. The surrounding
properties are mostly agricultural in nature so this facility is compatible with the adjoining
land uses. A.Policy 1 states, "Agricultural zoning will be established and maintained to
protect and promote the County's agricultural industry."Morning Fresh Farms has been an
approved use on this property since approximately 1970. A Site Specific Development Plan
and Special Review Permit has been approved for a commercial egg facility since 1985 .
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 of the Weld County Code provides for Livestock Confinement
Operations as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Poultry is
defined as livestock in the Weld County Code and an operation which exceeds the number
of birds allowed in the bulk requirements for the zoning district is defined as a Livestock
Confinement Operation.The farm will consist of 3,200,000 layers and 800,000 replacement
hens.
The additional uses requested with this permit are directly associated with the operation of
the poultry operation. The wood grinding operation supplies wood which is utilized in the
composting operation. The compost operation utilizes poultry waste for the production of
lawn and garden fertilizer. The resulting products from the composting are sold to garden
centers, discount and grocery stores.

c. Section 23-2-220.A.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses. Uses within the area consist of crop production in all directions.
Morning Fresh Farms owns the majority of adjoining land which significantly reduces the
impact to surrounding properties. AMSUP-44 was approved by the Board of County
Commissioners in 1985 for a commercial table-egg production complex. An additional
amendment was approved in 1992 for a livestock confinement operation and composting
facility. The Board determined that those uses were compatible with existing, surrounding
land uses at the time those permits were reviewed. The Conditions of Approval and
Development Standards will ensure that any incompatibilities will be mitigated and provide
for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Weld County.
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 Chapter22 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 does not lie within the Urban Growth Boundary of any municipality
but does lie within the referral area for the Town of Platteville. The Town's Planning
Commission returned the referral response indicating no conflicts with their interests.
e. Section 23-2-220.A.5--The site does not lie within any Overlay Districts.
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 property is not
indicated as having prime soils, as stated previously, and the use of a commercial egg
facility has occurred on the property since 1970.
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.
h. Section 23-4-710 -- The applicant shall comply with the additional requirements of the
Livestock Feeding Performance Standards.
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:
1. The attached Development Standards for the Special Review Permit shall be adopted and placed
on the Special Review Plat prior to recording. The completed plat shall be delivered to the Weld
County Department of Planning Services and be ready for recording in the Weld County Clerk and
