USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW QUESTIONAIRE
The following questions are to be answered and submitted as part of the USR application. If a question does
not pertain to your use, please respond with "not applicable", with an explanation as to why the question is not
applicable.
1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property.
The proposed use of this property is a dairy located on one of two contiguous parcels totaling approximately
278 acres. Related activities include milking dairy cows, raising replacement stock and farming. Supporting
infrastructure includes build_uwand corrals for(L stock husbandry, equipment storage maintenance
facil es_waste management control st r ctu_and accessnry residences for employees This proposal is for
4,000 cattle, new corral areas, new dairy parlor and stormwater/process wastewater containment.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.
The use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive plan through the preservation, enhancement and
growth of agriculture. A feedlot has existed at the site since approximately 1973. The proposed facility is
located on prime farmland when irrigated. The facility is designed and oriented to maximize open space and
reduce the impacts of the facility to the greatest practical extent. The facility will support commercial and
industrial uses directly related to or dependent upon agriculture. Efforts to preserve productive agriculture
land include the maintenance, enhancement and growth of a viable, profitable, agricultural business. The
proposed site is not located within a flood hazard zone, a geologic hazard zone or airport^overlay zone. The
property use is necessary in Weld County to preserve the agricultural econbmlic base historically attributed to
the area. The proposed use provides approximately 15 agriculture jobs for Weld County residents. Typically,
feedlot and dairy operations contribute 2.5 times their gross sales into the local economy.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and the
zone district in which it is located.
This proposal meets the intent of the agricultural zone district where the site is located. A livestock facility of
approximately 1100 animals may exist on this property as a use-by-right. A livestock confinement operation
exceeding four(4) animal units per acre is permitted in the A (Agricultural) zone district as a Use-by-Special
Review. Public health safety and welfare are protected through adherence to applicable county, state and
federal regulations and requirements.
4. What types of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible
with surrounding land uses.
Agricultural uses surround this site. Uses consist of farming, cattle grazing, sheep production and hay
production. The neighboring properties are rural, agricultural oriented properties raising sheep, horse, hay,
crops etc. and consist of parcels approximately 25 acres to over 100 acres.This proposal is compatible with
the surrounding agricultural uses and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.

j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored?
Storage and warehousing are not proposed as the primary use of this site. Feedstuffs, livestock bedding,
manure, equipment parts and supplies typical of farming activities are stored on site.
6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a
landscape plan map as part of the application submittal.
Landscaping currently planned is a tree belt on top of a raised berm on the south side of the dairy. Landscape
plans are outlined on the site map.
7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity
occurs.
Reclamation procedures include compliance with applicable regulations such as the Colorado Confined Animal
Feeding Control Regulations to manage solid manure and stormwater runoff until all relative material is
adequately removed. Should the facility be permanently discontinued for use as a dairy, it would be marketed
under applicable county planning and zoning regulations to its greatest and best use.
8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site.
Stormwater drainage will be handled by a system of three retention ponds, which will be maintained and
operated in accordance with the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding Control Regulations. Excess water from
these ponds will be used to irrigate farm ground. Specific details regarding stormwater management are
outlined in the Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan.
9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to
begin.
The construction is proposed to begin in fall of 2000 with dairy milking barn completion in spring or summer of
2001. Complete expansion is market dependent.
10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site.
The manure produced at the facility will be composted on site and hauled off by truck to be used by
landscapers and gardeners. Stormwater and process wastewater will be stored in the wastewater retention
structures designed to meet State CAFO regulations. No hazardous material storage is proposed for this site.
Stormwater and wastewater will be periodically land applied at agronomic rates. Details of the manure
management system are outlined in the Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan. Debris and refuse will be
collected and removed by a local trash service.
