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' staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Sections 24.3 and 45.6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as
amended, as follows:
a. Section 24. This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive
Plan, as amended. Agriculture Goal#2 allows commercial uses which are directly
related to agriculture to locate within Agricultural zoning when the impact to
surrounding properties is minimal and where adequate infrastructure is available.
The proposed Veterinary Hospital will serve the surrounding agricultural community
2
980367
and the facility will be served by public water and is proposing public sewer.
Additionally, Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) Goal and Policy #2 encourages the
concentration of urban development in or adjacent to existing municipalities. The
proposed commercial use is located within the Town of Firestone's UGB as
delineated by the Tri-Area Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) and the adjacent
property to the south of this proposal has been annexed to the Town of Firestone.
Agriculture Goal #1 also encourages the preservation of prime farmland for
agricultural purposes. The suitability of the soils on this 24.98 acre site are
classified as "not prime" farmland by the USDA Soil Conservation Service and
Colorado State University Extension. No prime farm ground will be taken out of
production.
b. Section 24.3.1.2-- This proposal is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
zone district. Section 31.4.2 includes veterinary clinics or hospitals as a Use by
Special Review in the A zone district. Additionally, Section 31.4.8 provides for
kennels, subject to the additional requirements of Section 45.6, as a Use by Special
Review in the A zone district. The additional requirements contained in Section
45.6 are addressed by the attached Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards.
c. Section 24.3.1.3-- The proposal will be compatible with existing surrounding land
uses. The proposal is compatible with surrounding land uses which include
agricultural production to the north and south and small residential acreages to the
east and west. The applicant is proposing soundproofing of the hospital, as well as
keeping dogs indoors at night. Development Standard #12 requires dogs and cats
to be indoors between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.
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 district and with
the future development as projected by the Comprehensive Plan or Master Plan of
affected municipalities. The Town of Frederick reviewed this proposal and
requested that the applicant shall comply with Health Department regulations. The
Town of Firestone has reviewed the proposal and is requesting an annexation
agreement between the applicant and the Town pursuant to the Tri-Area IGA.
e. Section 24.3.1.5-- The proposal is located within the Tri-Area Intergovernmental
Agreement area as identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County. Section
4.3 (b) of the Tri-Area IGA requires an annexation agreement as a condition of
approval for any commercial use pursuant to Section 31.4.18 of the Weld County
Zoning Ordinance. The Town of Firestone has reviewed the proposal and is
requesting an annexation agreement.
f. Section 24.3.1.6-- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve
productive agricultural land. The suitability of the soils on this 24.98 acre site are
classified as "not prime" farmland by the USDA Soil Conservation Service and
Colorado State University Extension. No prime farm ground will be taken out of
production with this proposal.
