REZONING QUESTIONNAIRE
1. How is the proposed rezoning consistent with the policies of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan? If
the proposed rezoning is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,explain how the proposed rezoning
will correct what the applicant perceives as faulty zoning,or how the proposed rezoning will fit with what
the applicant perceives as the changing conditions in the area.
The Weld County Comprehensive Plan does not specifically spell-out the contemplated future land use
for this area. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan goals
and policies in accordance with the following sections designated in the Weld County Code.
Section 22-2-150.B.I.Goal 2 encourages the expansion and diversification of the industrial economic
base.
Section 22-2-150.C.I.Goal 3 promotes a well-balanced diversified industrial base in order to provide a
stable tax base and to provide a variety of job opportunities for County citizens.
Section 22-2-150.2.1.Policy 2.2 requires the applicant to ensure that adequate services and facilities are
currently available or reasonably obtainable.
The proposed rezoning will fit with the changing conditions that have occurred in the area. Numerous
properties directly adjacent to State Highway 85 are currently zoned 1-3. There have been several
properties rezoned from Agricultural to 1-3 adjacent to WCR 27. With the conversion of these
properties from agricultural to industrial,and the previously existing nearby properties that are zoned
industrial,services in the form of centrally located water and sewer services for the area are envisioned
in the near future. At this time it is not feasible to annex into Fort Lupton as central services are not
available and the urban growth boundary for the town is approximately 1 %miles away.
The property currently has a valid permit to construct an industrial well that would provide adequate
water supplies for an industrial use. A commercial septic would be installed at the time a use was
proposed for the site.
2. How will the uses allowed by the proposed rezoning be compatible with the surrounding land uses?
Include a description of existing land uses for all properties adjacent to the subject property.
The parcel is directly adjacent to State Highway 85 on the west. Industrial zoned property's located
to the south and agricultural properties are located to the north and east.
There are numerous 1-3 properties located % mile to the south, adjacent to State Highway 85.
3. Will the property use a septic system or public sewer facilities?
An individual septic system will be utilized and will be constructed to Weld County Standards after the
approval of a site plan review on the property.
4. Who will provide adequate water, includng fire protection, to the property?
There is one industrial water well currently permitted for the property. The Fort Lupton Fire Protection
District would provide fire protection.
5. Does the property have soils with moderate or severe limitations for crostruction? If yes, the applicant
shall submit information which demonstrates that the limitations can be overcome.
The enclosed soils report provided by High Plains Engineering does not indicate moderate or severe
soil limitations for construction.
6. Is the road and/or highway facilities providing access to the property(ies) adequate to meet the
requirements of the proposed zone district? If not,the applicant shall supply information demonstrating
the willingness and financial capability to upgrade theroad and highway facilities.
The property fronts onto Weld County Road 8 on the south and is directly adjacent to State Highway 85
on the west. At the time a site plan review is filed with the Weld County Department of Planning
Services specific road requirements will be coordinated.
7. Is there sand, gravel, or other mineral resource on or under the subject property? If so, the applicant
shall provide a mineral resource statement prepared by a certified geologist or other qualified expert.
The statement shall indicate the estimated quantity of resources and the economic feasibility of recovery,
now and in the future, of the resource(s) so that the Planning Commission and Board of County
Commissioners can determine whether a commercial mineral deposit is contained on or under the
subject property(ies) as defined by Colorado Revised Statute.
The enclosed mineral resource report provided by High Plains Engineering indicates that due to the
small size of the lot and the location of the site the marketability of the gravel resources for mining is
drastically limited. The quantity of gravel available from this site would likely make this site
uneconomical to mine.
8. Is the change of zone area located in a Flood Hazard Overlay District?
Flood Insurance Rate Map number 080266 0983C indicates the property is located in Zone C which is
not designated as a flood hazard district.
9. Is the change of zone area located in a Geologic Hazard Overlay District?
No.
10. Is the change of zone area located in the AP (Airpon) Overlay District?
No.
