CASE NUMBER: Z-492
NAME: Agland, Inc.
ADDRESS: 36857 State Highway 14, Briggsdale, CO 80611
REQUEST: Change of Zone from A(Agricultural) to C-3(Commercial)
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot A of RE -1521 located in part of the SW4SE4 of Section

LOCATION: North of and adjacent to State Highway 14 and approximately 1/2 mile

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 21.7 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the
applicant has shown compliance with Section 21.5 of the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance as follows:
The proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan
Agricultural and Commercial goals and policies. The commercial use of
agricultural land is allowed at appropriate locations along highways in
a manner which will not impede traffic flow. The applicant is
requesting to make improvements to an existing gasoline station which
serves the local agricultural industry as well as the travelling
public. Appropriate design standards will be imposed as a part of the
site plan review process.
The uses which would be
continued on the property by granting the change
of zone request will be compatible with the surrounding land uses; these
include two residences, agricultural production and rangeland.
Adequate water and sewer service is available to the site. These
services are provided by Briggsdale Water Company and a septic system.
State Highway 14 provides access to the property and is of adequate size
950727
to meet the requirements of the commercial zone district.
No overlay districts affect the site.
No known commercial mineral deposits are located on the site.
The soil conditions on the site are such that they do not present
moderate or severe limitations to the construction or improvement of
structures or facilities proposed for the site.
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' staff recommendation for approval is
conditional upon the following:
1. The change of zone plat map shall be submitted to the Department of Planning
Services for recording within 30 days of approval by the Board of County
Commissioners.
2. Prior to recording the change of zone plat:
a. the following note shall be placed on the plat:
- A site plan review is required for this site in accordance with
Section 23 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance.
b. the plat shall be amended to show a 75 foot right-of-way reservation
north of the centerline of State Highway 14.
3. Prior to any improvements or construction activity taking place on this
site, existing soils below the storage tanks which have been or will be
excavated shall be tested for contamination prior to any off -site disposal
of these soils.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Agland, Inc.
In correspondence dated February 2, 1995, the Colorado Department of Transportation stated that
any change of use which results in a twenty per cent increase of traffic on this site provides them
the opportunity and obligation to bring access into conformance with the State Highway Access
Code. The applicant has indicated to staff that an increase of traffic at this location is not expected.
In communication between staff and the Department of Transportation, there is concurrence that
this is the case and, therefore, the existing two accesses may remain until any such increase is
documented.

Dear Sirs:
Your application and related materials for the request described above are being processed. I have scheduled a
meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission for February 21, 1995, at 1:30 p.m. This meeting will take
place in the County Commissioners' Hearing Room, First Floor, Weld County Centennial Center, 915 10th Street,
Greeley, Colorado. It is recommended that you and/or a representative be in attendance to answer any questions
the Planning Commission members may have.
Sometime prior to February 10, 1995, a representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to
the property to post a sign adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road right-of-way which identifies
the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-
of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent place on the property and a second sign posted at the point
at which the driveway (access drive) intersects a publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to the Weld
County Planning Commission. This recommendation will be available twenty-four (24) hours before the
scheduled hearing. It is the responsibility of the applicant to call the Department of Planning Services' office
before the Planning Commission hearing to make arrangements to obtain the recommendation.
