A. The proposed change of zone is consistent with the intent of the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan, as amended, including Planned Unit Development, Mixed Use
Development Area, Commercial and Industrial Development Goals and Policies.
I.Goal 4 states: "Promote industrial development that is appropriately located in
relation to surrounding land uses, and that meets necessary environment
standards." This proposal for (C-3) and light industrial uses (I-1) is compatible with
surrounding land uses. Directly north of the site is property designated as regional
commercial and employment center in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan which
would allow for commercial and industrial uses, with residential and commercial
properties to the east of the site. Other surrounding land uses include agricultural
to the south and reclaimed gravel pits to the west and southwest.
The western edge of the site lies within the 100 year floodplain as defined by FEMA
mapping. The applicant has designated this portion of the site as open space with
a maximum of 25% being developed. The applicant will need to address common
open space further in the Final PUD Plan submittal.
2. C.Goal 1 states: "Encourage the expansion and diversification of the commercial
economic base." This proposal includes Commercial (C-3) uses which will provide
economic opportunity for county residents as well as aid in diversifying the county's
commercial economic base.

3. C.Goal 3 states: "Ensure that adequate public services and facilities are available
to serve the commercial development or district." The development will be serviced
by the St. Vrain Sanitation District for sewage disposal. Left Hand Water District will
provide an adequate water supply. The development lies within the Mountain View
Fire Protection District.
MUD.Goal 1 states: "To plan and to manage growth within the 1-25 Mixed Use
development area and Urban Development Nodes so as to balance relevant fiscal,
environmental, aesthetic, and economic components of the area." The applicant has
designed this development to consist of both commercial (C-3) and industrial (I-1)
uses which is compatible with the surrounding land uses and proposed land uses.
The development will be encouraged to utilize innovative siting and design features
to preserve the portions of the property located within the floodplain and to use the
reclaimed gravel pits as an enhancement to the development. All landscaping shall
adhere to the landscaping requirements in proposed Ordinance 191.
B. That the uses which would be allowed in the proposed Planned Unit Development will
conform with the Performance Standards of the Planned Unit Development District contained
in Section 35.5 of this Ordinance.
C. The uses which would be permitted shall be compatible with the existing or future
development of the surrounding area which include agricultural production, residential, gravel
mining, commercial and industrial developments. In addition, through the PUD Final Plan
and Site Plan Review processes, design standards (landscaping, parking, signage, etc) will
be adequately evaluated.
D. That adequate water and sewer service will be made available to the site to serve the uses
permitted within the proposed Planned Unit Development District. The development will be
serviced by the St. Vrain Sanitation District for sewage disposal. The Left Hand Water
District will provide water service.
E. That street or highway facilities providing access to the property are adequate in size to meet
the requirements of the proposed zone district. The applicant will need to address street and
highway facilities which provide access to the development as well as the internal roadway
system in relation to the standards set forth in proposed Ordinance 191. The applicant has
indicated a willingness to meet all standards as set forth in proposed Ordinance 191
concerning the design of the roadways within the PUD District. The final design of the
roadways will be addressed with the PUD Final Plan application review.
F. That there has been compliance with the applicable requirements contained in Section
21.5.1.5 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as follows:
The proposed development lies with the flood hazard overlay district. Conditions of
approval address this issue. This development also lies within the Mixed Use
Development area. The applicant is aware of the update plan, Ordinance 191, to this
area. The applicant may be subject to additional requirements of the plan with its
adoption by the Board of County Commissioners.

2. The proposed development does not contain a commercial mineral deposit in a
manner which would interfere with the present or future extraction of such deposit
by an extractor to any greater extent than under the present zoning of the property.
3. Soil conditions on the site are not such that they present severe limitations to the
construction of structures or facilities proposed for the site. The Colorado Geological
Survey reviewed this proposal and made comments concerning the construction
within the proposed PUD Zone District and the comments are addressed in the
conditions of approval.
This recommendation is based, on part, upon a review of the application materials submitted by the applicant,
other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.
