APPLICANT: J. Quarter Circle Company
ADDRESS: 801 8th Street#220-I, Greeley, CO 80631
REQUEST: Change of Zone from the R-1 Zone District(Low Density Residential)to the 1-3 Zone District
(Industrial)
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the N2 of Section 32,Township 6 North, Range 65 West of the 6th
P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
LOCATION: South of and adjacent to WCR 64 ("O" Street), Northeast of U.S. Highway 85
be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners for the following reasons:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 21.4 of the
Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended.
2. The submitted materials are in compliance with Section 21.5 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance,
as amended as follows:
A. Section 21.5.1.1 -That the proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive
Plan. (.Goal 1 states "Encourage the expansion and diversification of the industrial
economic base," and I.Goal 2 states "accommodate new industrial development within
planned industrial areas." The proposal is consistent with these goals, as the site is
located adjacent to other Industrial uses, at the fringe of the City of Greeley. The site will
encourage the expansion of the industrial economic base and provide for a variety of
employment opportunities for Weld County citizens.
B. Section 21.5.1.2-The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by granting the
change of zone will be compatible with the surrounding land uses. The Department of
Planning Services believes that the granting of this change of zone will have a minimal
impact on 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 provides 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 21.5.1.3-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 protectiion to be supplied by North Weld County Water
District and irriigation water provided by an existing well. The Weld County Department of
Public Health and Environment had 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 21.5.1.4-Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are adequate
in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zone districts. The Weld County Public
Works Department 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 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.
mow,f E. Section 21.5.1.5- In those instances where the following characteristics are applicable to
the rezoning request, the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the applicable
standards:
1) Section 21.5.1.5.1 - The proposed change of zone does lie within the Airport
Overlay District and the flood plain. Conditions of approval address any conflict
with these overlay districts.
2) Section 21.5.1.5.2 -The proposed rezoning does not contain the use of any area
known to contain a commercial mineral deposit in a manner which would interfere
with the present or future extraction of such deposit by an extraction to any greater
extent than under the present zoning of the property.
3) Section 21.5.1.3 - Soil conditions on the site are not such that they present
moderate or severe limitations to the construction of structures of facilities
proposed for the site. Weld County Building Inspection's referral received on June
23, 2000, indicated that building permits shall be obtained prior to any excavation
on site. A soils report and two sets of building and engineered foundation plans
(with registered Colorado Engineer stamp) is required for all building permits.
These issues are addressed through conditions of approval and will also be a part
of the Site Plan Review process.
This recommendation is based, in part, upon a review of the application materials submitted by the
applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.
The Change of Zone from R-1 (Low Density Residential)to 1-3(Industrial)is conditional upon the following:
