BARNES USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW
Address: 8581 Weld County Road #24, Fort Lupton
Area: 77 acres
Zone: Agriculture
This is a request to establish a small business on this property. The
proposed business use is an agricultural irrigation equipment sales and
service. Irrigation pumps, pipe, poly pipe fittings and sprinkler heads will
be sold as part of the business. Mr. Barnes will also rebuild pumps and
repair pipes on the premises. An existing farm building will be converted
to use as a shop for the repair and maintenance activity. There will be
some pipe storage associated with the business, however the storage area is
behind the buildings and trees and will not be visible from County Road
24.
1. How is this proposal consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan?
Agricultural Goal
"Promote the development of commercial and industrial uses directly dependent upon the
agricultural industry (e.g. commercial feed lots, farm implement dealerships, irrigation
equipment companies)." The impact of feedlot or implement dealership uses is beyond
comparison to the Barnes small irrigation business. However, the Barnes irrigation
business is totally dependent upon the agricultural industry. This Goal promotes the
development of irrigation equipment companies.
2. How does this proposal meet the intent of the zone district it is located in?
Weld County Agricultural Policies
"Agricultural zone districts shall be established and maintained to protect and promote the
County's agricultural industry. The agricultural zone district is intended to preserve
prime agricultural land and to provide areas for agricultural activities and uses dependent
upon agriculture without the interference of incompatible residential, commercial and
industrial land uses." That policy supports the Barnes irrigation business which is
dependent upon agriculture.

Airport Overlay zone - and does it meet these special requirements?
This property is not in a designated flood plain, has no geological hazards and is not in an

generates less than 2 trips per day during the 5 months business operation. Mr. and Mrs.

up truck for service calls and one semi -truck per season delivers pipe. Clients coming to
the shop usually drive pickup trucks or cars.

The Staff recommendation of approval on this application is conditioned upon a screening plan
for an equipment storage area. There is a location on the Barnes property that is screened by
existing trees and shrubs. This location is north of the house and shop buildings and has access
from an existing driveway. The Barnes' propose to use this area for exterior storage of
equipment and pipe related to the irrigation business. This area is screened from view from
surrounding residences and roadways. The proposed storage area is designated on the special
review plat map.
Sincerely,
