THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES'STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS

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 ordinances in effect. Section 22-5-100.A
(OG.Goal 1) states "Oil and gas exploration and production should occur in a
manner which minimizes the impact to agricultural uses and the environment and
reduces the conflicts between mineral development and current and future surface
uses." The proposed oil and gas processing facility is located adjacent to existing
oil and gas facilities for HS Gathering LLC and North American Resources.
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.A.2 of the Weld County Code provides
for Oil and Gas Support and Service facilities as a Use by Special Review in the (A)
Agricultural Zone District.
USR-1353 (HS Gathering, LLC) 2
c. Section 23-2-220.A.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. The site is bordered by an existing gas processing
facility for KN Energy to the west and a gas processing facility for HS Resources to
the southwest. The remainder of the site borders undeveloped rangeland.
Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will ensure that any
incompatibilities will be mitigated.
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 lies within the three-mile referral
area for the City of Fort Lupton. The City of Fort Lupton, in their referral received
August 20, 2001, indicated no conflicts with their interests.
e. Section 23-2-220.A.5 --The site does not lie within any Overlay Districts.
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
proposed site is designated "Other" by the 1979 Soil Conservation Service
Important Farmlands of Weld County Map.
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
