1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property.
The proposed use of this property is a replacement pullet raising facility. Related
activities include feeding pullets, bringing new stock in and loading replacement layers
out, once they are of sufficient size and age. Supporting infrastructure includes totally
enclosed, climate-controlled buildings, manure conveyor system for manure removal
and one existing accessory residence for employees. This proposal is for 260,100
pullets, modification of the existing buildings to house pullets instead of layers and
adding 40 feet to the length of one building.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,
Chapter 22.
This use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan through the
preservation, enhancement and growth of agriculture. This facility was designed to
protect prime farmland. The facility supports commercial and industrial uses directly
related to or dependent upon agriculture. Efforts to preserve productive agriculture land
include the maintenance, enhancement and growth of a viable, profitable agricultural
business. The site is not located within a flood hazard zone, geologic hazard zone or
airport overlay zone. The use is necessary in Weld County to preserve the agricultural
economic base historically attributed to the area.
3. Explain how this proposal in consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,
Chapter 23, and the zone district in which it is located.
This housed facility meets the intent of the agricultural zone district where the site is
located. A livestock confinement operation is permitted in the A (Agricultural) zone
district as a Use by Special Review. Public health, safety and welfare are protected
through adherence to applicable county, state and federal regulations and
requirements. Provisions to comply with applicable regulations and requirements are
outlined in this application for expansion.
4. What types of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and
compatible with surrounding land uses.
Agricultural uses surround this site. Uses consist of farming, cattle grazing, dairy
production and hay production. The property is directly east of the open space and
storage for the Platte Valley Air Park. This proposal is compatible with the surrounding
agricultural uses and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.
5. Describe, in detail, the following:
a. How many people will use this site?
Two (2) people will work at the site full time. During load-in or load-out of birds, 12-20

from time to time.

b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site?
Two (2) full time employees are expected at the site along with occasional increases to
12-20 during high intensity load-in or load-out operations.
c. What are the hours of operation?
The facility will operate 24 hours per day. Equipment operations, trucks, farming
activities and maintenance activities other than emergencies will occur primarily during
daylight hours.
d. What type and how many structures will be erected (built) on this site?
Three existing buildings will be modified to house pullets instead of layers. One of the

e. What type and how many animals, if any, will be on this site?
260,100 head of pullets.
f. What kind (type, size, weight) of vehicles will access this site and how often?

Septic systems currently exist on site (copies of the permits are included in this
application). No additional systems are proposed.
j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored?
Storage and warehousing are not proposed as the primary use of this site. Feedstuffs,
equipment parts and supplies typical of poultry farming activities are stored on site.

No additional landscaping is proposed.
7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special
Review activity occurs.

3
8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site.
Because the chickens are housed inside and no stockpiles of manure are expected, no
storm water containment is necessary per the state's Confined Animal Feeding
Operations Control Regulation.
9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and
landscaping is scheduled to begin.
Modification of the existing buildings is scheduled to begin immediately, pending USR
permit approval. Construction will take approximately 6 to 8 months to complete
allowing for weather and financial considerations.
10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site.
No storage or stockpiling of wastes is planned at this site. Chicken litter is taken
immediately off site for composting or given to area farmers for use on their land. No
hazardous materials storage is proposed for this site.
