The submitted materials are in compliance with Section 23-2-30 of the Weld County Code as follows: A. Section 23-2-30.A.1.The proposal is consistent with Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code. Section 22-2-60. G.1.A.Policy 7.1 states "Weld County recognizes the Right to Farm". In order to validate this recognition Weld County's Right to Farm statement has been established which shall be incorporated on all pertinent land use plats. The Department of Planning Services shall require Weld County's Right to Farm statement to appear on all recorded plats. Section 22-2-60.C. A.Goal.3 discourages urban-scale residential development which is not located adjacent to existing incorporated municipalities. The proposed minor subdivision does not propose an urban scale development as defined by the Weld County Code and it is not located adjacent to existing incorporated municipalities,subdivision or unincorporated townsites. B. Section 23-2-30.A.2. states"That the uses which would be allowed on the subject property by granting the Change of Zone will be compatible with the surrounding land uses." The proposed site does not lie within the Urban Growth Boundary or Intergovermental Agreement area for any municipality. The subject property lies within the three-mile referral area of the Town of Eaton and the City of Greeley. The Town of Eaton in their referral dated 12/14/04 found the proposed development to have no conflicts with their interests. The City of Greeley in their referral dated 12/22/04 had the following five(5)concerns: additional right-of-way be dedicated from the centerline of County Road 37; preserve the existing trees on the site; pave the internal road;establish sidewalks and curbs;and the internal road shall help provide connectivity to future subdivisions. The City of Greeley's recommendations have been incorporated into the Development Standards and Conditions of Approval. The Department of Planning Services has not received any correspondence from surrounding property owners. The Right-to-Farm statement is required to appear on the recorded change of zone plat which informs any new residents to the area that the surrounding community is agriculture in nature. The Department of Planning Services'believes that the granting of this Change of Zone will have a minimal impact on the surrounding land uses. C. Section 23-2-30.A.3.states"That adequate water and sewer service can be made available to the site to serve the uses permitted within the proposed zone district."The existing home on proposed Lot 6 has an existing water tap with North Weld County Water District. The applicant has a Water Service Agreement with North Weld County Water District for the remaining eight(8)lots. The agreement has been approved by the Weld County Attorney's Office. The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment has reviewed this proposal and has indicated the applicant has satisfied Chapter 24 of the Weld County Code in regard to water and sewer service. Sewer will be provided by Individual Sewage Disposal Systems (ISDS) and the overall density meets the current Department policy with one septic system per 3.7 acres. The preliminary percolated test report conducted by Northern Colorado Geotech dated 11/21/04 states that most septic systems could be conventional systems. D. Section 23-2-30.A.4 states"Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are Harkless(MZ-1060).page 2 adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zone district." County Road 37 is classified by the County as a collector status road and requires a minimum 80-foot right-of- way.The right-of-way shall be verified and shown on the final plat. If the right-of-way cannot be documented, it shall be dedicated on the final plat. This development will introduce 86 additional vehicle trips per day to the roadway system. E. Section 23-2-30.A.5. states"That, in those instances where the following characteristics are applicable to the rezoning request, the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the applicable standards:" 1) The proposed Change of Zone does not lie within any overlay district identified by the maps officially adopted by Weld County. Building Permits issued on the Lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of County Wide Road Impact Program (Ordinance 2002-11). 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.
