CASE NUMBER: 2AmUSR-552
APPLICANT: Duke Energy
PLANNER: Kim Ogle
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot A of RE-614;part of the W2SE4 Section 28,T6N, R65W of the 6th P.M.,
Weld County, Colorado.
REQUEST: 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
LOCATION: 1/2 mile north of CR 64, 1/4 mile west of CR 43.
be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners 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 Planning Commission 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.B(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
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 futur:
development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other applicabl;
•
code provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of affecte.
municipalities. The existing site is within the three mile referral area of the City of Greeley r
The City of Greeley stated that the proposal is outside of the City of Greeley 2020 Growt
Area and it is suggested that landscaping be provided along the south and east propert 7
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.

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

REQUEST: Change of Zone from (A)Agriculture to(E) Estate for a 9 lot Minor
Subdivision (Prairie Ridge Estates)
LOCATION: South of and adjacent to CR 84 and west of and adjacent to CR 17 section
line.
Sheri Lockman, Department of Planning Services presented Case MZ-1053, reading the recommendation
and comments into the record. The Department of Planning Services is recommending approval of the
application along with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards.
James Rohn asked if this should be more of an urban area. Ms. Lockman stated it was a judgement call,
technically this application is not adjacent to any PUD or subdivisions. The regulation indicated you must
be adjacent to be considered urban. Mr. Rohn asked if the roads should be paved roads due to the amount
of development in the area. Mr. Rohn continued with a question regarding rather there should be a
Development Standards that would require the applicant to attach to public sewer if the availability is there?
Ms. Lockman stated the applicant has contacted Boxelder Sanitation District and there is a letter
addressing the concern in the packet. Boxelder Sanitation District has indicated it will be a while before
sewer is available in the area. Ms. Lockman stated that the size of the lots may make it not financially
feasible to.obtain public sewer. Another concern is that once a buyer has spent the money installing a
septic system it would be unfair to force them to attach immediately. If the site did become within 400 feet
of a public system and Boxelder Sanitation District was willing to service, there would be no repair permits
issued to the systems or any new systems.
John Folsom asked about the letter from the Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) stating a dead end street cannot
exceed 660 feet. Is there any provision for turn arounds? Ms. Lockman indicated an emergency access is
