Gathman Case Number: USR-1405 Hearing Date: April 15, 2003 Applicant: Aurora Dairy - Colorado Address: 6828 Highway 66 C/O Thomas Haren, AgPro Environmental Longmont, CO 80501 Services, LLC Longmont, CO 80504 Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a Livestock Confinement Operation (2,500 Milking Cow Dairy) in the (A) Agricultural Zone District Legal Description: NE SE4, E2 NE4 and part of the NE4 NW4 Section 30, Township 3 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado Location: South of and adjacent to State Highway 66 and approximately 3/4 mile east of Weld County Road 13 Parcel Size: +/- 123 acres Parcel Number: 1209 30 000015 & 1209 30 000034 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. A.Goal 1 states, "Conserve agricultural land for agricultural purposes which foster the economic health and continuance of agricultural." The north half of the property was recently used as an animal feedlot and the applicants are proposing a dairy operation which will encompass a majority of the property. Dairies are considered agricultural related operations. eaN USR-1405 Aurora Dairy-Colorado 3 A. Policy 1 states "Agricultural zoning will be established and maintained and promote the County's agricultural industry." Weld County ranks first in the state for agricultural products sold and third in the Country. Most of the corn grown in the County is used for feed at commercial feedlots, farm feedlots and dairies. This proposal will benefit the farmers who will provide feed and other products to the dairy. The citizens of the County who consume dairy products will also benefit as the dairy provides a desired commodity for the community. 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.B.16 of the Weld County Code provides for Agricultural Service Establishments primarily engaged in performing agricultural, animal husbandry, or horticultural services on a fee or contract basis, including livestock confinement operations 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. An existing dairy facility(Colorado Dairy) is located to the east of and adjacent to this site. This site is also operated by Aurora Dairy. The site is adjacent to agricultural land to the north and west and land located within the floodplain of the St. Vrain River to the south. Grandview Estates Subdivision (within the Town of Mead) is located approximately 1/4 mile north and west of the site (across Highway 66). The applicant is proposing to plant trees along the northern and southern property lines for screening and dust control. The Development Standards, Conditions of Approval, and Operations Standards will effectively mitigate any adverse impacts to surrounding areas. 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 site is located outside of the Town of Mead Intergovernmental Agreement area. However, the site is located within the 3-mile referral area for the Town of Mead. The Town of Mead, in their referral received March 25, 2003, indicated no conflicts with their interests. e. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Section 23-5 of the Weld County Code. The southwestern corner of the site is located within the 100-year floodplain. The submitted USR site map indicates that no improvements will be located within the floodplain. A flood hazard development permit will be required if any future improvements are to be located within the floodplain. Effective January 1, 2003, Building Permits issued on the proposed lots will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County Wide Road Impact Program, Area 3. (Ordinance 2002-11) 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. The majority of the property is designated as prime farm ground according to the U.S.D.A. Soil USR-1405 Aurora Dairy-Colorado 4 Conservation Map, dated 1979. A portion of the of the property is designated as irrigated non prime farmground. Improvements from a feedlot facility cover more than half of the property. The dairy facility will cover a greater area than the feedlot facility but is still considered an agricultural related use. 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.
