new stock in and loading old layers out. Supporting infrastructure includes totally
enclosed, climate-controlled buildings, equipment storage, manure conveyor system for
manure removal, egg processing and storage facilities, and one existing accessory

layer houses with additional processing, storage and offices built to the south of the
existing 12 layer houses.

Chapter 22.
This use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan through the

protect prime farmland. The facility supports commercial and industrial uses directly
related to or dependent upon agriculture. Efforts to preserve productive agriculture land
include the maintenance, enhancement and growth of a viable, profitable agricultural
business. The site is not located within a flood hazard zone, geologic hazard zone or
airport overlay zone. The use is necessary in Weld County to preserve the agricultural
economic base historically attributed to the area.
3. Explain how this proposal in consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,
Chapter 23, and the zone district in which it is located.
This housed facility meets the intent of the agricultural zone district where the site is

Copies of the well permits are included in this application.
i. What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed).
Septic systems exist on this site (copies of the permits are included in this application).
One system requires replacement, as some of the new buildings will be built over its
location. An engineer designed septic system and permit application will be submitted
to the Department of Public Health and Environment for review and approval when this
new system is to be constructed.
j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored?

No additional landscaping is proposed.
7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special
Review activity occurs.
No reclamation procedures are proposed.
8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site.
Because the chickens are housed inside and no stockpiles of manure are expected, no
storm water containment is necessary per the state's Confined Animal Feeding
Operations Control Regulation.
9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and
landscaping is scheduled to begin.
Construction is scheduled to begin immediately, pending USR permit approval.
Construction will take approximately 8-10 months to complete allowing for weather and
financial considerations.
10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site.
No storage or stockpiling of wastes is planned at this site. Chicken litter is taken
immediately off site for composting or given to area farmers for use on their land. No
hazardous materials storage is proposed for this site.
