a. Section 24.4.2.1 --The proposal is consistent with the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan. OG.Goal 1 states, "Oil and gas exploration and
production should occur in a manner which minimizes the impact to
agricultural uses and the environment and reduces the conflicts between
mineral development and current and future surface uses." The proposal
will not take any land out of agricultural production and should cause little
conflict with surface uses.
b. Section 24.4.2.2 -- The proposal is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural) Zone District in which the use is located. Section 31.4.1 of
the Weld County Zoning Ordinance provides for oil and gas support and
service as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
c. Section 24.4.2.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible
with the existing surrounding land uses. The site will be surrounded on
three sides by the land treatment facility. The only home in close
proximity to the site is one-quarter mile to the northwest. Beebe Draw
Subdivision lies more than one mile to the east. Conditions of Approval
and Development Standards will ensure that any incompatibilities will be
mitigated.
d. Section 24.4.2.4 -- The site does not lie within the Urban Growth
Boundary or referral area of any municipality.
e. Section 24.4.2.5 -- This proposal does not lie within any Overlay Districts.

conserve prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the
proposed use. The proposed site is designated "Other" by the U.S.D.A.
Soil Conservation Services. No prime farm ground exists on the site.
g. Section 24.4.2.7 -- The Design Standards (Section 24.5 of the Weld
County Zoning Ordinance), Operation Standards (Section 24.6 of the
Weld County Zoning Ordinance), Conditions of Approval, and
Development Standards ensure that there are adequate provisions for
the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the
neighborhood and County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of
