CASE NUMBER: USR-1411
APPLICANT: Christ Community Church
PLANNER: Sheri Lockman
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot A of RE-3226; being part of the SW4 of Section 6, T2N, R62W of the

REQUEST: Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for a church

LOCATION: East of and adjacent to WCR 73; A mile South of I -76.
be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners for the following reasons:
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.D (A. Goal 4.) states "Conversion of agricultural land to non-urban
residential,commercial and industrial uses,will be accommodated when the subject site is
in an area that can support such development. Such development shall attempt to be
compatible with the region."The proposed church site was established to lie outside of an
existing pivot sprinkler on land that is designated "Other" by the USDA Soil Conservation
Services.The church should have minimal impact on the surrounding properties.The only
home adjacent to the site will be screened by a row of cedars to be planted along the north
edge.
The church has not submitted evidence of adequate water at this time. Regulations allow
one well permit to be issued per individual/organization in the aquifer. The applicants are
intending to transfer the well permit that is servicing the existing church. The Division of
Water Resources has indicated in telephone conversations that to the best of their
knowledge, given that regulations do not change, the applicants should not have any
difficulty transferring the well permit to the proposed site. However, the Division was
unwilling to put this conversation in writing.Without going through the transfer process and
subsequent review they could not make any promises.
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.E.1 of the Weld County Code provides for a church 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. Surrounding properties to the east,west and south are agricultural.
Proposed landscaping shall mitigated the impact to the residence to the north. die%
D. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future t _=
development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with the future m
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 subject property does not lie within a three-mile referral area for any W. g

Code. Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of
County Wide Road Impact Program area 4.

agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use. The subject site is

be taken out of production.

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.
