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 (3000 Head Dairy) in the Agricultural Zone District
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: W2/SE4 of Section 19, T6N, R66W of the 6`h P.M., Weld County,
Colorado
LOCATION: North of and adjacent to WCR 66, West of and adjacent to WCR 25 3/4
SIZE OF PARCEL: 80 acres
PARCEL NUMBER: 080519000005
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
of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended.
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 amended, as
follows:
a. Section 24.3.1.1 --That the proposal is consistent with the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan. A.Goal 1 states, "Preserve prime farmland for agricultural
purposes which foster the economic health and continuance of agriculture." The
U.S.D.A. soils map indicates that the soils on the majority of this property are
designated "prime". The proposed dairy is an agricultural use of economic
importance to Weld County. A.Policy 1 states, "Agricultural zoning will be
established and maintained to protect and promote the County's agricultural
industry." The proposal will also benefit those commercial and industrial uses
directly related to agriculture, as well as benefit the farmers in the area who will
provide feed and other products to the dairy.
b. Section 24.3.1.2--The proposal is consistent with the intent of the district in which
the use is located. The property is zoned Agricultural and section 31.4.2 states that
Podtburg Dairy,AmUSR-I 144,Page 2
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 24.3.1.3 --The uses which would be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. Uses on adjacent properties are primarily
agricultural, including farmed fields and three single family dwellings in close
proximity. USR-1144 was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on May
14, 1997 for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for a
2000 Head Dairy. The Board determined that the use was compatible with existing,
surrounding land uses, at that time.
Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will ensure that any
incompatibilities will be mitigated. The Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards will ensure the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Weld County.
d. Section 24.3.1.4--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. While some nearer areas are becoming increasingly urban
in use, it is in the interest of the county to continue to foster agricultural growth in
the Agricultural Zone District, consistent with it's historical use and allowed under
the zone district. The City of Greeley Planning Commission indicated in their
referral response, dated October 10, 2000, that the dairy was located within the
City's Long Range Expected Growth Area, that the request is not consistent with
their Comprehensive Plan and their recommendation is for denial. However, should
the Weld County Planning Commission approve the request, several conditions
were suggested to be a part of the approval. A Condition of Approval addresses the
concerns of the City of Greeley. The Town of Windsor commented that the
proposal is consistent with the Town's Land Use Plan map and is recommending
approval. Weld County does not have an intergovernmental agreement with the
City of Greeley or the Town of Windsor at this time.
e. Section 24.3.1.5 -- This proposal does lie within an Overlay Districts. Effective
December 1, 1999, Building Permits issued on this property lots may be required
to adhere to the fee structure of the Windsor Service Area Road Impact Program.
(Ordinance 210)
f. Section 24.3.1.6 --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. As stated
previously, this property is designated as "prime" as designated on the U.S.D.A.
Soils Map. The site has been historically utilized for animal confinement and
although some prime farmground will be taken out of field production, agricultural
uses will continue to located on this parcel.
g. Section 24.3.1.7-There is adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety
and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County. The 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.
Podtburg Dairy,AmUSR-1144,Page 3
h. Section 47 -- The applicant shall comply with the additional requirements of the
Livestock Feeding Performance Standards.

applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.

following:
