The City of Greeley Planning Division has administratively reviewed it against the our Comprehensive Plan and Development Code. However, because of time constraints, this request was not reviewed by the City of Greeley Planning Commission. The staff has the following comments: The request is for a home-based business consisting of a combination landscaping equipment and materials yard/snow-plowing service/tree service with firewood storage and RV storage. The business would operate six days a week and employ 15-20 persons who would park on the site. The applicant has approximately 12 tracks plus several other pieces of heavy and accessory equipment used in the business. Additionally, other items would be stored on-site including trees, mulch, wood chips, compost, tree stumps and limbs, and wood pallets. Gasoline and de- icing tanks are also on the property. The site is located east of and adjacent to Weld County Road 33 and one-quarter mile north of Highway 392. The property lies just outside the City of Greeley's Long-Range Expected Growth Area, the area in which community growth is expected in the next 20 years. It is however, within the three-mile area of influence for the City of Greeley and, therefore, within the purview of the City of Greeley.

Sheri Lockman August 12, 2002 Page Two The proposed land uses are generally required to be within the commercial and industrial zones inside Greeley. While the subject property is zoned A (Agricultural) in Weld County, many of the surrounding properties are large-lot residential in nature, and there is a large-lot rural subdivision, zoned R-1, immediately to the east. To the north of the subject property is a cornfield, and the applicant has enclosed the western perimeter of the property with a concrete block wall. However, the view of the yard containing the equipment and the landscape materials is quite visible from the adjacent residential property and from Highway 392 to the south, and is very prominent from the County residentially zoned subdivision to the east. An additional concern of the City of Greeley involves the type and amount of traffic accessing the site, both from employees arriving and departing work, and from the day-to-day operation of a landscape/tree trimming/firewood business in an area surrounded by large-lot residential development. The City of Greeley, therefore, has concerns about the impact of this commercial/industrial type use being located immediately adjacent to residential properties and, therefore, recommends its denial. If, however, Weld County should approve the use, the City of Greeley would recommend the following conditions of approval: 1. The site shall comply with all Weld County development standards including setbacks. 2. Adequate buffering of the use to sufficiently screen all materials stored outside on the property shall be put in place, particularly along the south and east property lines. Screening shall be accomplished through the use of a solid fence or wall of sufficient height to fully screen all stored materials or through the use of landscaping providing year-round screening of a sufficient height to fully screen all stored materials or through a combination of fencing, walls, and landscaping. The City of Greeley recommends its Bufferyard "D" be put in place along the south and east property lines. 3. The RV storage, which appears unrelated to the other business, should either be eliminated from the proposal or, at a minimum, be relocated away from the property line, and sufficient screening shall be in place to screen the stored vehicles from view from adjacent properties. 4. All parking spaces/maneuvering areas shall be an all-weather surface. Sheri Lockman August 12, 2002 Page Three 5. Sixty feet of right-of-way along County Road 33 (47`h Avenue) shall be reserved for future roadway expansion. 6. Heights of the piles of materials shall not exceed ten feet (10').
