APPLICANT: Lambland Inc., dba A-1 Organics PLANNER: Julie A. Chester
ADDRESS: 16350 WCR 76, Eaton, CO 80615
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit and Certificate of
Designation for a Solid Waste Disposal Site and Facility (Composting Facility) in the
Agricultural Zone District
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of Section 36, T3N, R64W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado
LOCATION: Adjacent to the Coors Energy Site on a private road, approximately four miles north
of 1-76 and five miles Northeast of the Town of Keenesburg
SIZE OF PARCEL: +/- 435 acres PARCEL NUMBER: 1215-36-000004
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS
REQUEST BE APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS
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 --This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive
Plan, as amended. A.Policy 1 of the Comprehensive Plan states that agricultural
zoning is established to protect and promote the county's agricultural industry.
A.Policy 2 encourages agricultural businesses and industries to locate in areas that
minimize the removal of prime agricultural land from production. Soils on the
Special Review permit site are classified as "other lands" by the U.S.D.A. Soil
Conservation Service. The location of the Special Review Permit area and the
attached Conditions of Approval and Development Standards make the proposed
use consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan's Agricultural,
Environmental Quality and Natural Resources Goals and Policies.
A-I Organics,USR-1285 Paget
b. Section 24.3.1.2 -- This proposal is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
Zone District. Section 31.4.9 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance provides for
Solid Waste Disposal sites and facilities, subject to the additional requirements of
Section 45.4, Solid Waste Sites and Facilities or Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites
as a Use by Special Review.
c. Section 24.3.1.3 -- The proposal is consistent with Section 24.3: .3 of the Weld
County Zoning Ordinance, as amended and will be compatible with future
development of the surrounding area. The proposal is compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses and with the future development of the surrounding area as
permitted by the existing county zoning and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.
The surrounding land uses include vacant land with natural grasses, Coors Energy's
Keenesburg Mine Site, Waste Management of Colorado's Buffalo Run Landfill an
oil and gas production facility and some agricultural uses.
d. Section 24.3.1.4 -- The proposed uses will be compatible with future development
of the surrounding area as permitted by the A (Agricultural) zone districts and with
the future development as projected by the Comprehensive Plan or Master Plan of
affected municipalities. The Town of Keenesburg indicated in a referral response
that this use was not a conflict with their interests
e. Section 24.3.1.5 -- The proposal is not located within the Overlay District Areas
identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County.
f. Section 24 3.1.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve
productive agricultural land. The proposed use is not located in an area designated
as prime farm ground, therefore no productive farmground is being taken out of
production.
g. Section 24.3.1.7 --The Design Standards (Section 24.5 of the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance, as amended), Operation Standards (Section 24.6 of the Weld County
Zoning Ordinance, as amended), Conditions of Approval, and Development
Standards ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health,
safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and county.
h. Section 45.4.1 -- Certificates of Designation for solid or hazardous waste disposal
sites and facilities as required by Colorado Revised Statutes and Code of Colorado
Regulations shall not be deemed approved until or unless a Use by Special Review
permit has been approved by the Planning Commission or Board of County
Commissioners where required by the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. The Board
shall be guided in its review of a Certificate of Designation by state statute and
regulations contained in Colorado Revised Statutes and Code of Colorado
Regulations. In addition to this request for a Special Review permit, the process for
a composting facility requires the review and approval of a Certificate of Designation
by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The State is
recommending conditional approval of the Certificate of Designation for this facility.
It will be necessary for the applicants to obtain approval of both the Special Review
permit and Certificate of Designation in order to legalize the composting facility
A-I Organics,USR-1285 I'age 3
Section 45.4.2 -- Applicants for activities reviewed pursuant to Section 24 for any
Solid Waste sites and facilities shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that
there is a need for the facility within the proposed area of service, and the Planning
Commission and Board shall be satisfied that a need exists as part of the
determinations for any such permit. The application materials state the Weld
County Comprehensive Plan states that Weld County is a 'complete farm and food
system'. This organic recycling facility is an instrumental part of the complete
system by producing a product ready for purchase. The products produced are
beneficial for food production." Also, "The composting facility may purchase
materials from agriculture. But for the most part, it will offer an alternative that may
reduce the costs of agriculture waste management."
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 Department of Planning Services's staff recommendation for approval is conditional upon the
following:
1. The attached Development Standards for the Special Review Permit shall be adopted and
placed on the Special Review Plat prior to recording the plat. The completed plat shall be
delivered to the Department of Planning Services and be ready for recording in the Weld
County Clerk and Recorder's Office within 30 days of approval by the Board of County
Commissioners. (Department of Planning Services)
2. This application has been determined to be in compliance with the proposed Amendment
24 to the Colorado Constitution of a new article XXVIII, as development of land is consistent
with a valid development application which had been filed as of September 13, 2000
pursuant to proposed Article XXVIII 9 (2).
3. Prior to recording the plat:

material, and any excavation associated with a dredged or fill project, either
temporary or permanent, in waters of the United States which may include
ephemeral, intermittent and perennial streams, lakes, ponds, or wetlands at this
site, this office should be notified by a proponent of the project for property
