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 22-5-100.A(OG.Goal 1. )states
"Oil and gas exploration and production should occur in a manner which minimizes the
impact to agricultural uses and the environment and reduces the conflicts between mineral
development and current and future surface uses." Further,Section 22-5-100.6(OG.Goal.2)
states "The extraction of oil and gas resources should conserve the land and minimize the
impact on surrounding land." The request for a Site Specific Development Plan and a
Special Review Permit for a Mineral Resource Development Facility including a Natural Gas
Processing Facility in the A(Agricultural)Zone District is the third amendment to an existing
permitted facility. The original SUP was applied for by Valley Energy Incorporated, in 1983.
The application was for a natural gas processing plant and support facilities. The amended
USR was applied for by Natural Gas Associates, in 1985. The application was for upgrades
to the existing facility. The second amended USR application, in 1987, was for additional
upgrades to the facility.This application addresses the current on-site conditions,and serves
as a baseline for future improvements to the site. Upgrades to the facility addressed under
this amendment are for improvements to the distribution systems for over-the-road vehicles,
3AmUSR-597, DUKE ENERGY,GREELEY FRAC, page 2
a modification to the existing point of ingress and egress for the relocation and modernization
of the material distribution system and upgrades as required by the Oil and Gas Commission
for regulatory compliance. These modifications will not increase truck trips per day as the
plant is at capacity. Further, the amendment was required by the Department of Planning
Services due to a change in ownership of the facility.
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.A.2 of the Weld County Code provides for Oil and Gas Support
and Service 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. The property is is sited low to the surrounding land form. To the
north is a high density residential development of single family residences(Hunters Reserve
and Willowbrook PUDs)within the corporate City Limits of the City of Evans;to the west are
agricultural lands with a USR for Storage Units (USR-848); to the east is the Platte Valley
Irrigation Company Ditch,aka the Evans Town Ditch and rural residences; and to the south
is a Natural Gas Facility(USR-600)operated by Elmer Lundvall. A majority of the property
to the south is identified as floodplain by the Firm Community Panel Maps prepared by
FEMA.
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 existing site is within the three mile referral area of the City of Evans,City
of Greeley and Town of LaSalle. The Town of LaSalle returned a referral indicating no
conflict with their interests, the City of Greeley did not return a referral and the City of Evans
returned a referral requesting additional information. The applicant requested a continuance
from the January 6,2004 hearing to meet with Evans to discuss their proposed amendments
to the existing application.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5--The application complies with Section 23-5 of the Weld County Code.
The existing site is not within a recognized overlay district, including the Geologic Hazard,
Flood Hazard or Airport Overlay District. The existing site is within the County-wide Road
Impact Fee Area. Effective January 1, 2003, Building Permits issued on the lot will be
required to adhere to the County Wide Road Impact Fee Program..
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. This facility was acquired
by the Duke Energy Field Services Division in 1996. Previous to this acquisition the facility
was permitted and operated by either Valley Energy Incorporated or Natural Gas Associates
for approximately twenty years.
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.

other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.
