APPLICANT: Little Thompson Water District
ADDRESS: 835 E. Highway 56, Drawer G, Berthoud, CO 80513
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a Treated Water
Storage Tank and Future Tower Site
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the NE4 of Section 4, T4N, R68W of the 6th P.M., Weld County,
Colorado
LOCATION: South of State Highway 60 and West of WCR 7
SIZE OF PARCEL: 3.059 acres
PARCEL NUMBER: 106104000011
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's staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Section 24.3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended, as
follows:
a. Section 24.3.1.1 --This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive
Plan, as amended. A.Goal 6 of the Comprehensive Plan states that public facilities
and services such as sewer, water, roads, schools, and fire and police protection
must be provided and developed in a timely, orderly, and efficient manner to support
the transition of agricultural land to urban development. The expansion of public
facilities and services into predominantly rural agricultural areas,when the expansion
conflicts with other existing goals and policies, will be discouraged. In evaluating a
land-use application, Weld County representatives and the applicant will consider
the public facilities and services goals and policies. This facility is currently
consisting of a 2.5 million gallon water tank. The addition of the 5.0 million gallon
tank does not take any prime farm ground out of production and is consistent with
the public facilities and services goals and policies. Soils on the Special Review
99_1753
permit site are classified as"other lands" by the U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Service.
The location of the Special Review Permit area and the attached Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards make the proposed use consistent with the
Weld County Comprehensive Plan's Agricultural, Environmental Quality and Public
Facilities Goals and policies.
b. Section 24.3.1.2-- This proposal is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
zone district. Section 31.4.4 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance provides for
public utilities facilities including major facilities of public utilities, as a Use by Special
review in the Agricultural zone district.
c. Section 24.3.1.3 -- The proposal is consistent with Section 24.3.1.3 of the Weld
County Zoning Ordinance, as amended and will be compatible with future
development of the surrounding area. The proposal is compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses and with the future development of the surrounding area as
permitted by the existing county zoning and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.
The surrounding land uses include agricultural uses, residences and a large dairy.
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 districts and with
the future development as projected by the Comprehensive Plan or Master Plan of
affected municipalities. The Town of Johnstown did not return their referral
comments and Larimer County indicated no conflict with their interests
e. Section 24.3.1.5 -- The proposal is not located within the Overlay District Areas
identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County.
f. Section 24.3.1.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve
productive agricultural land. The proposed use is not located in an area designated
as prime farm ground, therefore no productive farmground is being taken out of
production. The property in which the new 5.0 million gallon tank is to be located is
on a large hill and does not appear to be farmed at this time.
g. Section 24.3.1.7--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.
