Chester Hearing Date: March 6, 2001 Case Number: USR-1349 Applicant: Robert and Diane Tateyama 39713 WCR 43 Ault, CO 80610 Representative: Ag Pro Environmental Services LLC 4311 Highway 66, Suite 4 Longmont, CO 80504 Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for an Agricultural Service Establishment primarily engaged in performing agricultural, animal husbandry, or horticultural services on a fee or contract basis, including Livestock Confinement Operations(the expansion of an existing dairy and animal confinement operation for a 2675 head dairy with one additional accessory to the farm mobile home) in the Agricultural Zone District Legal Description: Part of the NE4 of Section 17, T4N, R64W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado Location: South of and adjacent to State Highway 14, West of and adjacent to Weld County Road 43 Size of Parcel: +/- 164.4 acres Parcel Numbers: 0709-16-100002, 0709-16-100003, 0709-16-000030 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- 2-260 of the Weld County Code. 2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services's staff that the applicant has shown compliance with Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code, as follows: a. Section 23-2-220A.1 -- That the proposal is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other applicable code provisions and ordinances in effect. A.Goal 1 states, "Preserve prime farmland for agricultural purposes which foster the economic health and continuance of agriculture." The U.S.D.A.Soil Conservation Map indicates that the property is "Prime". The dairy has existed on this property since 1976 and is Tateyama Dairy, USR-1349, Page 2 located generally on the north portion of the property. The additional pens, lagoons, silage areas, commodities building and hay storage area are proposed adjacent to and east of the existing dairy facility. Very little farming area will be taken out of production with this proposal. Policy 1 states, "Agricultural zoning will be established and maintained to protect and promote the County's agricultural industry." b. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposal is consistent with the intent of the (A) Agricultural Zone District. The property is zoned Agricultural and Section 23-3- 40.B.16 states that Agricultural Service Establishments primarily engaged in performing agricultural, animal husbandry, or horticultural services on a fee or contract basis, including livestock confinement operations, are permitted as a Use by Special Review in the Agricultural Zone District. c. Section 23-2-220.A.3 --The uses which would be permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. SUP-302 was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on July 12, 1976 for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for the expansion of an existing dairy to 500 head of dairy cattle. The Board determined that the use was compatible with existing, surrounding land uses, at that time. Surrounding land uses are primarily farming operations and residential homes, in a rural location. The expansion of the dairy to 2675 head will remain compatible with existing surrounding land uses. Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will ensure the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Weld County. d. Section 23-2-220.A.4 --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 plans of affected municipalities. The proposed expansion is within the three mile referral area of the Towns of Ault and Eaton. Referrals were returned to the Department of Planning Services by both towns, indicating no conflicts with their interests. e. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- A portion of this proposal lies within the Flood Hazard Development Overlay District,as shown on F.I.R.M. Community panel map number 080266-0480C, dated September 28, 1982. A Flood Hazard Development Permit will be required as a Condition of Approval for any development/construction within the flood plain. f. Section 23-2-220.A.6 — If the use is proposed to be located in the Agricultural Zone District, the applicant shall demonstrate a diligent effort to conserve prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use. The property is designated as having prime soils, as stated previously and the use of a dairy has occurred on the property as a Special Use since 1976. The applicant has made an effort to locate the expansion of the dairy within a confined area in the northeast portion of the property, adjacent to the existing facilities. A large portion of the site is still available for agricultural farming practices. g. Section 23-2-220.A.7--There is adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County. The Tateyama Dairy, USR-1349, Page 3 attached Conditions of Approval and Development Standards ensure the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County. h. Section 23-4-710 --The applicant shall comply with the additional requirements of the Livestock Feeding Performance Standards.
