Part of the SW% of Section 32, Township 5,

WHEREAS, said applicant was present at said hearing, and
WHEREAS, Section 24.4.2 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance provides standards

WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners heard all of the testimony and

matter and, having been fully informed, finds that this request shall 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.
2. It is the opinion of the Board of County Commissioners that the applicant has
shown compliance with Section 24.4.2 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as
follows:
a. Section 24.4.2.1 -- This proposal is consistent with the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan. The proposal is for outdoor storage of trucks and
heavy equipment for Lightning Wireline, Inc., employee parking, an
office, a shop and two mobile homes to be used as residences for
employees. Activities in the existing shop include vehicle repair which is
incidental to the operation. A.Goal 1 states, "Preserve prime farmland for
agricultural purposes which foster the economic health and continuance
of agriculture." This proposal will not remove any prime farmland from
production.

b. Section 24.4.2.2 -- The proposal is consistent with the A (Agricultural)
Zone District. Oil and gas support and service operations are allowed as
a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
c. Section 24.4.2.3 -- The uses will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses. The surrounding properties are zoned for
agricultural uses. The Landscape Plan shall delineate sufficient
screening from adjacent properties.
d. Section 24.4.2.4 -- The uses which would be permitted will be compatible
with the future development of the surrounding area as permitted by
existing zoning and with the future development as projected by the
Comprehensive Plan or Master Plans of affected municipalities. The
Town of LaSalle is adjacent to the property. On April 7, 1999, the Town
of LaSalle Planning and Zoning Commission agreed to send the referral
to the Town Board. On April 13, the Town Board discussed Use by
Special Review Permit#1226. It should be noted that since the
employees perform most of the work off-site, the proposed use is not
intense and the traffic generated will be minimal.
e. Section 24.4.2.5 --The site is not located within an Overlay District.
f. Section 24.4.2.6 --The applicant has demonstrated that a diligent effort
has been made to conserve prime agricultural land. The site is not
currently being farmed and this proposal will not remove any farmland
from production. Additionally, farming is not feasible due to the size of
the parcel and surrounding parcels.
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 the County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of
Weld County, Colorado, that the application of Lightning Wireline, Inc. for a Site Specific
Development Plan and Special Review Permit#1226 for a Mineral Resource Development
Facility (parking trucks and storage of heavy equipment) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District on
the hereinabove described parcel of land be, and hereby is, granted subject to the following
