b. Section 21.6.2.2 - The uses which will be allowed on the subject property
by granting the Change of Zone will be compatible with the surrounding
land uses. Surrounding land uses include Platte River Steel, Winograd's,
Monson Brother's Produce, a welding shop, detail shop, steel fabricating,
Michelin Tire Company, Warren Analytical Laboratory, and Producer's.
There are ten to fifteen residences which are located approximately one-
half to one-quarter of a mile from the property lines; however, there is a
deep draw with many large trees, which provide for a natural buffer
between the proposed industrial uses and the residential properties. A
Site Plan Review will be required prior to any new uses that occur on the
property. The intent of the Site Plan Review is to "provide present and
future residents and users of land in the County a means whereby orderly
and harmonious development is ensured in the County. Site Plan Review
process requires additional consideration to ensure that the uses
permitted are established and operated in a manner that is compatible
with existing and planned land uses in the neighborhood. Site Plan
Reviews are designed to protect and promote the health, safety,
convenience, and general welfare of the present and future residents of
the county." Items addressed through the Site Plan Review include, but
are not limited to, number of employees, building construction, signage,
landscape treatment, drainage, parking, outside storage, loading/service
areas, and environmental criteria. The Site Plan Review will ensure
compatibility with surrounding land uses.
c. Section 21.6.2.3 -Adequate water and sewer service can be made
available to the site to serve the uses permitted within the proposed zone
district. The applicant is proposing domestic water and water for fire
protection to be supplied by the North Weld County Water District and
irrigation water provided by an existing well. The Weld County
Department of Public Health and Environment has no conflicts with the
use of an Individual Sewage Disposal System (I.S.D.S.) for the site.
Referral agencies will have the opportunity to further address water and
sewer during the Site Plan Review application process.
d. Section 21.6.2.4 - Street or highway facilities providing access to the
property are adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed
zone district. The Weld County Department of Public Works reviewed
this request and indicated several conditions to be implemented
regarding paving of the access roads, a drainage study and traffic study.
These items will be required at the time of application for the Site Plan
Review. Weld County Road 64 ("O" Street) is designated as a local road
on the Weld County Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Local roads
require sixty (60) feet of right-of-way. The Change of Zone plat map will
be required to show the designated right-of-way.
