THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES'STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS

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 maps indicate
that the soils on this property are designated "Other" lands. No "Prime" farmland will be
taken out of production.
Page 3
b. Section 24.3.1.2 --That the proposal is consistent with the intent of the district in which
the USE is located. The property is zoned Agricultural and Section 31.4.10 states that
the keeping, raising or boarding or exotic animals, is permitted as a Use by Special
Review in the Agricultural zone district. Section 31.4.8 allows for kennels as a Use by
Special Review in the Agricultural zone district.
c. Section 24.3.1.3 --That the USES which would be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land USES. Uses within the surrounding area are very limited
residential and dryland pasture. Conditions of approval and development standards will
ensure that any incompatibilities will be mitigated.
d. Section 24.3.1.4 --That 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 site does not lie within the Urban Growth
Boundary or referral area of any municipality.
e. Section 24.3.1.5 --That the application complies with the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance, Section 50, Overlay District Regulations if the proposal is located within the
Overlay District Areas identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County. This
proposal does not lie within any Overlay Districts.
f. Section 24.3.1.6 --That if the USE is proposed to be located in the A-District, that the
applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort has been made to conserve prime
agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed USE. The U.S.D.A. soils
maps indicate that the soils on this property are designated "Other".
g. Section 24.3.1.7 --That 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.
