APPLICANT: Western Wireless (Don Sizemore)
ADDRESS: 2323 Delgany St.
Denver, Co. 80216
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a 130 -foot
monopole radio communication tower and equipment structure in the A
(Agricultural) zone district.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Pt. of the SE4 of Section 17, T3N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld
County, Colorado.
LOCATION: Approximately 1.2 miles east of Colorado State Highway 85, north of and adjacent
to Weld County Road 32.
SIZE OF PARCEL: Approximately 0.04 acres, more or less.
PARCEL NUMBER: 1211 17 000016
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. This proposal is not an incompatible land use and does not
appear to present any undue interference on the surrounding land uses, as stated
in A.Policy 1.
b. Section 24.3.1.2 -- This proposal is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
zone district. A monopole radio communications tower and equipment structure is
allowed as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. This
proposal is also consistent with A.Goal 1 by minimizing the amount of productive
agricultural ground that is being taken out of production. The portion of the site
utilized for the Special Review activity appears to be non -production land.

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 located within the referral
boundary of the Town of Platteville. The Town of Platteville has reviewed this
proposal and has indicated that the request is consistent with their comprehensive
plan. Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will also ensure that the
proposed use will remain compatibly with the existing surrounding land uses.
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. As stated above, this site is located within the referral
boundary of the Town of Platteville, who has indicated that they have no conflicts
with this request.
This proposal will likely have little or no effect on the agricultural production of the
remainder of the site. The placement of the Special Review activity is on a non-
productive portion of the site and is clustered near a gas well facility. There are
three residences on the property; two houses and one mobile home. The mobile
home was permitted in 1979 as an accessory to the farm mobile home zoning
permit. Mr. Olin has indicated that the older home, in which a hired hand resides,
has existed on the site since the 1940's. A Non -Conforming Use status has not
been set up for the residence..
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 site is 0.04 of an acre in size and as stated above,
will take little if any agricultural ground out of production.
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.
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's staff recommendation for approval is conditional upon the
following:
