the County. The applicant's proposal is an agricultural-based
business in which the drivers will be transporting commodities to and
from local dairies and feedyards. This type of business promotes the
agricultural heritage Weld County is built upon.
2) Section 22-2-10.B. — Respecting Private Property Rights. One of the
basic principles upon which the United States was founded is the
right of citizens to own and utilize property so long as that use
complies with local regulations and does not interfere with or infringe
upon the rights of others. The applicant is proposing to utilize the
property for an Agricultural Support and Service trucking company,
that specializes in hauling commodities to local dairies and
feedyards, and a single-family home. This Zoning Permit would allow
the applicant to park their vehicles, as well as conduct vehicle
inspections, paperwork and general maintenance.
3) Section 22-2-10.0— Promoting Economic Growth and Stability. Land
use policies have a significant impact on economic conditions in the
County and should be structured to encourage economic prosperity.
To ensure the continued strength of Weld County's economy, land
use processes and decisions based on this plan shall be consistent
and promote fiscally responsible growth. The proposed agricultural
support and service business is providing stable jobs for 14
employees, which encourages economic prosperity.
4) Section 22-2-30.A.1 — Land use changes should not inhibit
agricultural production nor operations. Since the proposed use is
2025-1410

generally agricultural in nature it will not inhibit agricultural production
or operations.
D. Section 23-4-1200.A.4—The proposed use is compatible with the character
of the neighborhood. The Weld County Code allows Agricultural Support
and Service facilities in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, per
Section 23-3-35.A. Per Section 23-1-90 of the Weld County Code,
Agricultural Support and Service is defined as: "Establishments principally
engaged in serving dairies and farming, excluding livestock confinement
operations, meat processing, organic fertilizer production/composting
facilities, transloading facilities, and commercial truck washout facilities."
The site will be utilized for a trucking company that is principally engaged in
the hauling of agricultural commodities to local dairies and feedyards. The
surrounding properties are a mix of residences and agricultural lands. There
is one (1) Use by Special Review (USR) permit within one (1) mile of the
subject property for a Solar Energy Facility (USR24-0001). The Weld
County Department of Planning Services sent notice to six (6) surrounding
property owners (SPOs) within 500 feet of the proposed ZPAG boundary.
The Department of Planning Services did not receive any written or
telephone correspondence regarding the subject property. The design of
the facility, the Conditions of Approval and the Development Standards will
assist in mitigating the impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties and
ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses and the region.
E. Section 23-4-1200.A.5 — The proposed use is compatible with the general
health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the area and the County. The
Weld County Department of Planning Services sent notice to six (6) SPOs
within 500 feet of the proposed Zoning Permit boundary. No written or
telephone correspondence was received.
F. Section 23-4-1200.A.6 — The application complies with any requirements
the Director of the Department of Planning Services deems necessary in
order to mitigate adverse effects of the use on the neighborhood. The Board
finds this section is not relevant due to the case being heard by the Board.
G. Section 23-4-1200.A.7 — The proposed use has adequate access and
street/road or highway facilities providing access to the property are
adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed use. Per Weld
County Department of Planning Services — Development Review referral
comments, dated February 12, 2025; the parcel has one (1) existing
permitted residential access point (AP19-00589) onto CR 61. This access
shall be upgraded and re-permitted to meet the commercial standards as
required by Code.
