COLORADO PLANNER: Sheri Lockman CASE NUMBER: USR-1283 HEARING DATE: September 5, 2000 APPLICANT: Janet L. Ream ADDRESS: 412 N. 71 Ave, Greeley, CO 80634 REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for a Guest Farm (Extended Learning Facility) in the Agricultural Zone District LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot B of RE-346 Being part of the SE4 of Section 14, Township 5 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado LOCATION: North of and adjacent to State Highway 34 and west of and adjacent to Weld County Road 47 section line SIZE OF PARCEL: 109.88 +/- acres PARCEL NUMBER: 0961 14 000069 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 24.7 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. 2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown compliance with Section 24.3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as follows: a. Section 24.3.1.1 -The proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. W.Goal 1 states, "New developments should be located and designed to preserve critical ecosystems components, including wetlands, significant wildlife habitats, and migration corridors. Significant wildlife habitat is defined as a geographical area containing a combination of the essential elements of food, water, cover, and space and in quantities sufficient to support a species."W.Policy 1.1 states, "Conflicts with fish and wildlife habitats and migration routes shall be considered in land development. Developments adjacent to rivers and streams, waterfowl areas, and important or critical wildlife areas should incorporate reduced Page 3 densities, adequate setbacks and buffered areas as prescribed by the Colorado Division of Wildlife". The Conditions of Approval ensure that the use will not negatively impact wildlife in the area. b. Section 24.3.1.2--The proposal is consistent with the intent of the Agricultural Zone District in which the use is located. Section 31.4.3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance provides for a guest farm as a Use by Special Review in the Agricultural Zone District. c. Section 24.3.1.3--That the uses which would be permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. To the north of the site lies the South Platte River and to the south State Highway 34 with adjacent farm ground and one residence. To the east and west are irrigated farms with limited residential use. Various oil and gas structures exist on and adjacent to the site. Conditions of approval and development standards will ensure that any incompatibilities will be mitigated. d. Section 24.3.1.4--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 City of Evans and the Town of Kersey indicated the proposal did not conflict with their interests. The City of Greeley voiced concerns regarding water for fire flow, maximum occupancy and impact to ecologically significant areas. These issues have been addressed through the attached Conditions of Approval and Development Standards. e. Section 24.3.1.5 --The application complies with the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, Section 50, Overlay District Regulations if the proposal is located within the Overlay District Areas identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County. The site lies within the Airport Overlay District. In a referral dated July 20, 2000,The Greeley-Weld County Airport stated "The staff of the Greeley Weld County Airport has concerns about the proposed land use. While we do not necessarily want to prevent this site from becoming an extended learning facility, it is located inside the Airport Influence Area". They also state "The facility is located directly under the final approach path and departure corridor for the airports new primary runway,and may be impacted by airport operations." Part of the site lies within the 100 year flood plain. However, the area where buildings are proposed lies outside of the flood plain. f. Section 24.3.1.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use. The U.S.D.A. Soils Map indicates that the soils on this property are designated as a mixture of "Prime", "Irrigated Land (not prime)"and "Other" lands. The lot will continue to be used for agricultural production. Page 4 g. Section 24.3.1.7--The Design Standards (Section 24.5 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance), Operation Standards (Section 24.6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance), 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.
