Use by Right in the Commercial Zone District (Electrical Contractors Business) in the
Agricultural Zone District

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 proposal is consistent with the Weld County Code. Section 22-
2-20.A.1 states, "Preserve prime farmland for agricultural purposes which foster the
economic health and continuance of agriculture".The U.S.D.A.Soils Maps indicate that the
soils on this property are designated "Prime" lands. However, no "Prime"farmland will be
taken out of production as the parcel is only 5 acres in size which is not conducive to
farming.
b. Section 23-2-220.A.2 --The proposal is consistent with the intent of the Agricultural Zone
District in which the use is located.Section 23-3-40.R of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance
provides for any use permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special
Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts as a Use by Special Review in the
Agricultural Zone District.
c. Section 23-2-220.A.3 --That the use which would be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. Uses within the surrounding area are rural residential and
dryland pasture. Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will ensure that any
incompatibilities will be mitigated.
d. Section 23-2-220.A.4 --That the uses which would 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 the Comprehensive Plan or Master Plan of affected
municipalities.The site does not lie within the Urban Growth Boundary of any municipality.
The City of Longmont and Town of Frederick have no objection to this request.

agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use. The U.S.D.A. Soils Map
indicate that the soils on the property are designated"Prime". As mentioned previously,the
property is only 5 acres in size so no "Prime" agricultural land will be taken out of
production.

Operation Standards(Section 23-2-250 of the Weld County Code),Conditions of Approval,
and Development Standards ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection
