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 Chapter 23,
Article II, Division 4, Section 23-2-220 and Article IV, Division 4 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 23-2-220.A.1 -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any
other applicable code provisions or ordinances in effect. Section 22-5-80.6.1 (CM.
Goal 2) states "Promote the reasonable and orderly development of mineral
resources." The proposed Concrete Batch Plant will allow for the processing of
extracted mineral resources. Section 22-5-80.D.2.e (CM. Policy 4.5)requires"that
batch plants and processing equipment be buffered from adjacent uses." The
applicants propose the installation of berms, fencing and landscaping along public
rights-of-way of the site to provide buffering from existing uses and adjacent
property owners.
r
USR- 1329,Croissant/Loveland Ready Mix -2-
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. of the Weld County Code
designates Open Pit Mining and Materials Processing as well as Asphalt and
Concrete Batch Plants as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone.
District in accordance with Article II, Division 4 of the Weld County Code.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. Surrounding land uses in all cardinal directions are
predominantly agricultural in nature. The applicants are proposing to screen the
facility with six foot berms with landscaping and a four foot high opaque wooden
fence parallel to Weld County Roads 13 and 54 around the Batch Plant area.
Surrounding property uses include a rural residence to the north and a rural
residence and tree farm to the west.
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, as well as the
adopted Master Plans of affected municipalities. The proposed use is located within
the three-mile referral areas of the Towns of Johnstown and Milliken. The referral
response from the Town of Milliken indicated no conflict with the proposed use and
no referral response was received from the Town of Johnstown.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Article V of the
Weld County Code. Section 22-5-80.E.1.d (CM. Policy 5.4) states "The operation
should comply with County flood hazard and geological hazard regulations." The
proposed use lies within a designated Flood Hazard Area as delineated on FIRM
Panel Map #080266 0615C, dated September 28, 1982. Development of the site
will require a Flood Hazard Development Permit.
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. Section 22-
2-60 (A. Goal 1) of the Weld County Code states "Preserve prime farmland for
agricultural purposes which foster the economic health and continuance of
agriculture." The site is identified primarily as"Irrigated Not Prime"and"Other"land
by the USDA "Farmlands of National Importance" Map dated 1979.
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
Neighborhood and County.
H. Article IV, Division 4 — Additional requirements for Open Mining and Batch Plant
Operations have been addressed through this application and the Development
Standards will ensure compliance with the provisions of Article IV, Division 4 of the
Weld County Code.
