with Section 24.3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended, as follows:
A. Section 24.3.1.1 That the proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan, as amended. This proposal is located within the Urban Growth
Boundary area of the Town of Keenesburg. Keenesburg reviewed the request and found no
conflicts with their interests.
B. Section 24.31.2 That the proposal is consistent with the intent of the district in which the use
is located. The property is zoned A (Agricultural), and the proposed uses are provided for by
approval of a Special Review permit in accordance with Section 31.4.20 of the Weld County
Zoning Ordinance, as amended, which allows for uses similar to those listed as Uses by
Special Review in Section 31.4. The soils on the property are not classified prime agricultural,
nor are they irrigated.

C. Section 24.3.1.3 That the uses which would be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses. The proposed recreational storage facility appears to be compatible
with the surrounding uses, which are a salvage yard, communication tower and agricultural
production. A previous land use on this site was a poultry farm of which the existing
outbuildings and residences were a part.
D. Section 24.a 1.4 That the uses which would be permitted will be compatible with future
development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with future
development as projected by the comprehensive plan or master plans of affected
municipalities. Conditions of approval and development standards associated with this
Special Review permit will ensure that uses on the site remain compatible with the
surrounding area. The proposal appears to comply with future development projected for the
surrounding area, as stated by the Town of Keenesburg.
E. Section 24.3.1.5 That the application complies with the Weld County Zoning Ordinance,
Section 50, Overlay District regulations if the proposal is located within the Overlay District
Areas identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County. The request does not affect any
Overlay District areas of the County.
F. Section 24.3.1.6 That if the use is proposed to be located in the A -District, that the applicant
has demonstrated a diligent effort has been made to conserve agricultural land in the
locational decision for the proposed use. Agricultural structures, two residences and one
mobile home are presently existing on the property. The site proposed for the Special
Review activity is not prime agricultural ground, nor has it been used in the past for
agricultural production.
G. Section 24.3.1.7 That there is adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety and
welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County. The Design standards (Section
24.5) and Operation standards (Section 24.6) of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as
amended, as well as Conditions of approval and development standards associated with this
Special Review permit will ensure protection of the health, safety and welfare of the
surrounding area 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 Planning Commission's recommendation for approval is conditional upon the following:
1. The attached Development Standards for the Special Review permit shall be adopted and placed on
the Special Review plat prior to recording the plat. The plat shall be delivered to the Department of
Planning Services and be ready for recording in the Weld County Clerk and Recorder's office within
15 days of approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
2. Prior to recording the plat:
A. The existing septic system (permit No. G-889075) located in the shop/barn shall be reviewed
by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer. The review shall consist of observation of
the system and a technical review describing the system's ability to handle the proposed
hydraulic load (including patrons and employee usage). The Engineer's review shall be
submitted to the Environmental Protection Services Division of the Weld County Health

and trailer combination.
B. An eight (8) -foot chain link fence shall be constructed around the perimeter of the recreational
