Location: 1/2 mile north of CR 64; 1/4 mile west of CR 43. Size of Parcel: 2.46 +/- acres Parcel Number: 0803 28 000062 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 second amendment to an existing permitted facility. The original USR was applied for by Colorado Gathering and Processing Company, in 1983. The application was for a natural gas processing plant and support facilities. The amended USR was applied for by Colorado Gathering and Processing Company, in 1986.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 a new compressor building and upgrades as required by the Oil and Gas 2AmUSR-552,DUKE ENERGY, page 2 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 in the middle of the section adjacent to the vacated Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way. In all directions,agricultural lands dominate. There are numerous oil and gas production facilities approximately one-half mile directly south of this facility. Operators include RA Resources, Inc., Prima Oil and Gas and Sunshine Valley Petroleum. All operators have at least one Use by Special Review permit in place. 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 Greeley. The City of Greeley stated that the proposal is outside of the City of Greeley 2020 Growth Area and it is suggested that landscaping be provided along the south and east property boundaries to screen the facility. E. Section 23-2-220.A.5--The application complies with Section 23-5 of the Weld County Code. The site is within the Airport Overlay District. The Greeley-Weld County Airport has no immediate concerns with the proposal, however,should any construction on site include tall structures,the Greeley-Weld County Airport requests that a Federal Aviation Administration 7460-1 airspace study be performed. The site is also 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 is sited on a 2.46 acre parcel adjacent to lands formerly utilized as a single track rail for the Union Pacific Railroad. 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.
