Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a Recreational
Facility to include two soccer fields, one baseball field and a track field in the A
(Agricultural) Zone District
Legal Description: Part of the S2 of Section 33, Township 1 North, Range 68 West of the 6th
P.M., Weld County, Colorado
Location: Approximately 1/4 mile north of State Hwy 7; 3/4 mile south of CR 4; and adjacent

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. The comprehensive plan
encourages this type of facility, as the effective and efficient delivery of adequate
public services is one of the primary purposes and benefits of effective land use
planning (Section 22-3-10). These ball fields will be utilized by the adjoining school,
and will provide a needed recreational support system in the area.
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 of the Weld County Code provides for
recreational facilities as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone
District.
Page 2 of 6
c. Section 23-2-220.A.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. The surrounding area is presently being converted
from agricultural uses to residential/municipal uses. Much of the surrounding area
has been annexed into the Town of Erie and is proposed for a larger scale
residential subdivision. The ball fields will serve the recreational needs of the Vista
Ridge Academy, presently planned directly west of this site.
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 Town of Erie and City and County of
Broomfield both responded favorably to the proposal and any comments have been
incorporated into staff comments.
e. Section 23-2-220.A.5--The application complies with Article V of the Weld County
Code. The site does not lie within any Overlay Districts. The application materials
do not indicate overlay or geological concerns associated with this site.
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.While the site
is presently zoned agricultural, it is evident that farming practices have not been
viable on this site for some time. This parcel is surrounding by municipal growth.
The development of the ball fields will allow the appearance of open lands to
maintain the historic openness of the area while providing for the needs of the area
residents.
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. The Weld County Department of Health and Public
Works have reviewed this case and recommended approval with conditions.
