Applicant: Aurora Dairy - Colorado Address: 6788 Highway 66

Services, LLC Longmont, CO 80504
Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and an Amended Special Review Permit for a
28,803 square foot milk processing facility with a future expansion of 19,000 square
feet along with a Livestock Confinement Operation (1,250 milking cow Dairy w/450
head of replacement heifers and dry cows) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
Legal Description: NE SE4, E2 NE4 and part of the NE4 NW4 Section 30, Township 3 North,
Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado
Location: South of and adjacent to State Highway 66 and approximately 3/4 mile east of Weld

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 22-2-60 A.Policy
1.3 of the Weld County Code states, "Allow commercial or industrial uses which are
directly related to,or dependent upon agriculture,to locate within the A(Agricultural)
Zone District when the impact to the surrounding properties is minimal, and where
adequate infrastructure and services are currently available or reasonably
obtainable." The north half of the property was recently used as an animal feedlot
and the applicants are proposing an organic milk processing facility and dairy
AMUSR-1405 Aurora Dairy-Colorado 3
operation which will encompass a majority of the property. Dairies are considered
agricultural related operations.
Section 22-2-60 A. Policy 1.1 states "Agricultural zoning will be established and
maintained and promote the County's agricultural industry." Weld County ranks first
in the state for agricultural products sold and third in the Country. Most of the corn
grown in the County is used for feed at commercial feedlots, farm feedlots and
dairies. This proposal will benefit the farmers who will provide feed and other
products to the dairy. The citizens of the County who consume dairy products will
also benefit as the dairy provides a desired commodity for the community.
b. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural) Zone District. Section 23-3-40.6.16 of the Weld County Code
provides for Agricultural Service Establishments primarily engaged in performing
agricultural, animal husbandry, or horticultural services on a fee or contract basis,
including livestock confinement operations as a Use by Special Review in the A
(Agricultural) Zone District.
c. Section 23-2-220.A.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. An existing dairy facility(Colorado Dairy) is located
to the east of and adjacent to this site. The site is adjacent to agricultural land to
the north and west and land located within the floodplain of the St.Vrain River to the
south. Grandview Estates Subdivision (within the Town of Mead) is located
approximately 1/4 mile north and west of the site (across Highway 66). A special
review permit for a 2,500 head dairy was approved for this site under USR-1405 in
June of 2003. This permit would allow a milk processing facility to be added to the
site. The Development Standards, Conditions of Approval, and Operations
Standards will effectively mitigate any adverse impacts to surrounding areas.
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 located outside of the Town of
Mead Intergovernmental Agreement area. However, the site is located within the
3-mile referral area for the Town of Mead. The Town of Mead, in their referral
received December 16, 2004, indicated no objection to the proposed use.
e. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Section 23-5 of the Weld
County Code. The southwestern corner of the site is located within the 100-year
floodplain. The submitted USR site map indicates that no improvements will be
located within the floodplain. A flood hazard development permit will be required
if any future improvements are to be located within the floodplain.
Effective January 1, 2003, Building Permits issued on the proposed lots will be
required to adhere to the fee structure of the County Wide Road Impact Program,
Area 3. (Ordinance 2002-11)
AMUSR-1405 Aurora Dairy-Colorado 4
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 majority
of the property is designated as prime farm ground according to the U.S.D.A. Soil
Conservation Map, dated 1979. A portion of the of the property is designated as
irrigated non prime farmground. Improvements currently cover more than half of
the property.
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.
