PLANNER: S. Lockman
CASE NUMBER: USR-1259 HEARING DATE: June 20, 2000
APPLICANT: Mobile Pre-Mix Concrete, Inc.
ADDRESS: P.O. Box 21588, Denver, CO 80221
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for Open Cut Gravel
Mining along with Concrete and Asphalt Batch Plants in the (A) Agricultural Zone
District.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part W2 of Section 19, Ti N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO
LOCATION: West of and adjacent to State Highway 85, north of and adjacent to Weld County
Road 6 and south of and adjacent to Weld County Road 8
SIZE OF PARCEL: 237 acres
PARCEL NUMBER: 1471 19 000003 and 1471 19 000006
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
and Section 44 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services's 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. CM.Goal 2 states, "Promote the reasonable and orderly development of
mineral resources."
b. Section 24.3.1.2 -The proposal is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
Zone District. Section 31.4.1 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance provides for
mineral resource development facilities as a Use by Special Review in the A
Page 2
(Agricultural) Zone District.
c. Section 24.3.1.3--The proposal will be compatible with the existing surrounding land
uses. Surrounding land uses to the west and north include pasture land with limited
residences. To the east is State Highway 85. A well service company is adjacent to
the property on a lot which is zoned for industrial uses. To the south Asphalt Paving
Company is operating a gravel mine permitted by USR-921. C& M Company is also
permitted to mine gravel south of the site by USR-905.
d. Section 24.3.1.4 -The proposed use 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. In a referral response received February 16, 2000, the City of Fort
Lupton expressed concerns regarding the number of gravel mining operations
existing along the State Highway 85 corridor and the difficulties in maintaining an
attractive entryway into south Weld County. The City of Fort Lupton also asked that
precautions be taken in the event of a flood. These concerns have been addressed
through Conditions of Approval and Development Standards.
e. Section 24.3.1.5--All of the site except one small area along State Highway 85 is
located within the Flood Hazard Overlay District area as shown on FEMA Panel Map
#080266 0983 C. Conditions of Approval and Development Standards address the
issue of the floodplain. CM.Policy 5.4 of the Comprehensive Plan states "the
operation will comply with County flood hazard regulations".
f. Section 24.3.1.6-- That the applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort has been
made to conserve prime agricultural land. The proposed site is designated "Other"
and "Irrigated land, not prime" by the USDA Soil Conservation Services. Being
located within the 100 year flood plain also limits the agricultural productiveness of
the site.
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.
h. Section 44--Additional requirements for Open mining have been addressed through
this application and the Development Standards will insure compliance with Section
44 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance.
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 Department of Planning Services's staff recommendation for approval is conditional upon the
following:
1. The attached Development Standards for the Special Review Permit shall be adopted and

reasonably be anticipated." The applicant shall either submit to the Weld County
Department of Planning Services a copy of an agreement with the properties mineral

Planning Services)
B. The City of Fort Lupton expressed concerns regarding the number of gravel mining

RE: USR-1259, A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for Open
Cut Gravel Mining along with Concrete and Asphalt Batch Plants in the (A) Agricultural zone
district.
Dear Mr. Tuttle:
Your application for Gravel Mining for Mobile Pre-Mix was reviewed by Weld County
Planning Staff today at our regular staff meeting. Planning staff did not feel they could make
a recommendation to the Weld County Planning Commission without the following
information. Further, staff requests that your maps be amended to follow criteria of the Weld
County Zoning Ordinance. The following is a list of the information and amendments we
require at this time to make a recommendation to the Planning Commission.
1) What, if any berming or screening you are proposing during the operation of the mine?
2) Is there an agreement with the property's mineral owners stipulating that the oil and gas
activities have adequately been incorporated into the design of the site?
3) The Colorado Department of Transportation has not responded to referral responses.
Have you received an access permit for the access onto State Highway 85?
4) The vicinity map shall be prepared at a 1" = 600' scale and be amended to delineate
the following, as required by Section 44.2 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance:
a) Adjacent mining operations.b)All residences within one/half mile of the
proposed operation.
b) The name and location of all roads, bridges, irrigation ditches, oil and gas wells
and lines, utility lines and streams or other bodies of water with the scope of the
map.
c) Accesses to area
EXHIBIT
d) North arrow
5) The vicinity map/soils map shall be amended to not include Weld County Road 8 in the
permit area.
6) The soils information shall be included on the vicinity map or prepared at a 1"=600'
scale as required by Section 44.2 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance.
7) The plats shall be amended so that the line used to delineate flood plain matches that
used in the legend.
8) The plats are labeled 25 foot setback along the western edge. However, according to
the map, the mining is on the property line and in one area onto the adjacent parcel.
Please clarify where you are proposing to mine.
9) The Extraction Plan map shall be amended to include the times required for each
phase of the operation as required by Section 44.2 of the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance.
10) Notes stating" The reclaimed lakes are shown in conceptual form. The exact size and
shape may vary due to site and soil conditions", "The mining cell locations are
conceptual. Their size and shape may vary due to soil and site conditions" and "The
exact location of facilities within the plant site may vary" shall be eliminated from the
maps. Use by Special Review permits are site specific, not conceptual.
11) A letter from the United States Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Services
indicating that no study is necessary to determine whether the Preble's meadow
jumping mouse or the Ute ladies-tresses orchid exist on the site.
12) Identify specific hours of operation. Two shifts doesn't give enough information.
13) The reclamation plan includes all the existing trees. Please amend the map so that the
trees that will be removed are not shown.
Please return the above information by Wednesday, February 23 prior to 4 p.m. If you are
unable to meet this deadline, Planning Staff will not have sufficient time to finalize the case
and have no choice but to ask for a continuance at the Planning Commission hearing
scheduled for March 7, 2000. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact me
at the above address or call (970) 353-6100 ext. 3540.
