hearing the application of North American Resources Company, 16157 Weld County Road 22,

WHEREAS, said applicant was represented by William Crews at said hearing, and
WHEREAS, Section 24.4.2 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance provides standards
for review of said Special Review Permit, and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners heard all of the testimony and
statements of those present, studied the request of the applicant and the recommendations of

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, as amended. The existing natural gas processing
and compression facility originally approved in 1993 was on a ten -(10)
acre site. The first amendment to the Special Review permit allowed
Public Service Company and Amoco to colocate related gas facilities on
this property (see plat for locations), thereby preserving other potential

sites as agricultural. Expansion of the NARCO lease area and use at this
location complies with the Comprehensive Plan because no prime farm
ground will be removed from production. The soil classification is
identified as "Other Land" according to the USDA Soil Conservation
Service map.
b. Section 24.4.2.2 -- This proposal is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural) Zone District. Expansion of a natural gas processing and
compression facility is provided for in Section 31.4.1 of the Weld County
Zoning Ordinance, as amended, with approval of an amended Special
Review permit in the A(Agricultural) Zone District.
c. Section 24.4.2.3 --The proposal is consistent with Section 24.3.1.3 of the
Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended, and will be compatible with
the existing surrounding land uses. The proposed site expansion
appears to be compatible with surrounding land uses which include
dryland pasture, a neighboring gas compression facility and overhead
transmission lines. No residences are existing in the immediate area.
d. Section 24.4.2.4 --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
property does not lie within the three -(3) mile referral area of any
incorporated municipality in Weld County.
e. Section 24.4.2.5 -- The proposal is not located within the Overlay District
Areas identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County.
f. Section 24.4.2.6 --The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to
conserve productive agricultural land. The proposed expansion of the
facility does not impact productive agricultural land.
g.
Section 24.4.2.7 --The Design Standards (Section 24.5 of the Weld
County Zoning Ordinance, as amended), Operation Standards (Section
24.6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended), Conditions of
Approval, and Development Standards ensure that there are adequate
provisions for the protection of health, safety, and welfare of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood and county.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of
Weld County, Colorado, that the application of North American Resources Company for a Site
Specific Development Plan and Second Amended Special Review Permit #1002 to allow
expansion of the site from 10 acres to 25 acres, to increase the natural gas processing
