CASE #: Z-562
PLANNER: Anne Best-Johnson
APPLICANT: Margaret Ruhge
ADDRESS: 12757 Weld County Road 2.5, Brighton, CO 80603
REQUEST: Change of Zone from the A (Agricultural) Zone District to the 1-3 (Industrial) Zone
District.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the S2/NE4 of Section 31, Ti N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld
County, Colorado.
LOCATION: North of and adjacent to WCR 2 '/z, West of and adjacent to Old Highway 85
ACRES: 10 +/- PARCEL #1471-31-000039
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-
2-50 of the Weld County Code.
2. The submitted materials are in compliance with Section 23-2-30 of the Weld County Code,
as follows:
A. Section 23-2-30.A.1. - That the proposed 1-3 Zoning is consistent with the Weld
County Comprehensive Plan. The site will encourage the expansion of the
industrial economic base and provide for a variety of employment opportunities for
Weld County citizens. I. Goal 4 states "Promote industrial development that is
appropriately located in relation to surround land uses, and that meets the
necessary environmental standards." Surrounding land uses are commercial
businesses to the north, agricultural to the east, residential and commercial to the
south, and residential to the west. Surrounding properties are zoned 1-3. A railroad
and state highway also border the property on the west and east respectively. I.
Goal 2 states"Accommodate new industrial development within planned industrial
areas. UGB. Goal 2 states " Concentrate urban development in or adjacent to
2
existing municipalities... and maintain urban growth boundary area that provide an
official designation between future urban and non-urban uses. Furthermore, the
Department of Planning Services staff finds the proposal, with the attached
Conditions of Approval, satisfies UGB Goal 3 as stated, "The County and the
municipality should coordinate land use planning in urban growth boundary areas,
including development policies and standards, zoning, street and highway
construction... and other matters affecting orderly development." The Department
of Planning Services staff further concurs that UGB Policy 3.1 through 3.5 have
been met with this proposal.
B. Section 23-2-30.A.2. - The uses which would be allowed on the subject property
by granting the change of zone will be compatible with the surrounding land uses.
Surrounding land uses include Commercial and Industrial uses. A Site Plan Review
will be required prior to any Industrial use occurring on the property. The intent of
the Site Plan Review is to "provide present and future residents and users of land
in the County a means whereby orderly and harmonious development is ensured
in the County. Site Plan Review process requires additional consideration to ensure
that the uses permitted are established and operated in a manner that is compatible
with existing and planned land uses in the neighborhood. Site Plan Reviews are
designed to protect and promote the health, safety, convenience, and general
welfare of the present and future residents of the county." Items addressed through
the Site Plan Review include, but are not limited to, number of employees, building
construction, signage, landscape treatment, drainage, parking, outside storage,
loading service areas and environmental criteria. The Site Plan Review will ensure
compatibility with surrounding land uses.
C. Section 23-2-30.A.3. - Adequate water and sewer service can be made available
to the site to serve the uses permitted within the proposed zone district. Referral
agencies will have the opportunity to further address water and sewer during the
Site Plan Review application process.
D. Section 23-2-30.A.4. - Street or highway facilities providing access to the property
are adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zone districts. The
Weld County Public Works Department reviewed this request and indicated several
conditions to be implemented regarding paving of the access roads, a drainage
study and traffic study. Issues regarding access and right-of-way have been
addressed in the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards. These items
will be required at the time of application for the Site Plan Review. The Change of
Zone plat map will be required to show the designated right-of-way reservation.
E. Section 23-2-30.A.5. - In those instances where the following characteristics are
applicable to the rezoning request,the applicant has demonstrated compliance with
the applicable standards:
1) Section 23-2-30.A.5.a. -The proposed Change of Zone does not lie within
any overlay district identified by the maps officially adopted by Weld County.
2) Section 23-2-30.A.5.b. -The proposed rezoning does not contain the use of
any area known to contain a commercial mineral deposit in a manner which
3
would interfere with the present or future extraction of such deposit by an
extraction to any greater extent than under the present zoning of the
property.
3) Section 23-2-30.A.5.c. - Soil conditions on the site are not such that they
present moderate or severe limitations to the construction of structures of
facilities proposed for the site. The Colorado Geological Survey responded
favorably to this request in a referral response dated August 22, 2001. A
soils report and two sets of building and engineered foundation plans (with
registered Colorado engineer stamp) is required for all building permits.
These issues are addressed through Conditions of Approval and will also be
a part of the Site Plan Review process.
This recommendation is based, in part, upon a review of the application materials submitted by the
applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.
The Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to 1-3 (Industrial) is conditional upon the
following:
1. The change of zone plat map shall be submitted to the Department of Planning Services
