PLANNER: Anne Best Johnson
CASE NUMBER: USR-1227 HEARING DATE: May 4, 1999
APPLICANT: Jack Walker
ADDRESS: 13550 Grandby Street
Brighton Colorado 80601
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for an
Agricultural Service Establishment (an Establishment for the Manufacture
of Animal Confinement Structures) in the Agricultural (A) Zone District.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 2 of RE 1039, Pt. W2 NW4 Section 20, T2N, R66W
LOCATION: East of and adjacent to US HWY 85 and 350' North of WCR 18.5
SIZE OF PARCEL: 13.4 acres
PARCEL NUMBER: 1309 20 000044
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. Sea'ion 24.3.1.1 --This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive
Plan, as amended. A.Goal 2 states, "Allow commercial and industrial uses which are
directly related to or dependent upon agriculture to locate within Agricultural zoning
when the impact to surrounding properties is minimal, and where adequate services
and infrastructure are available." The applicant is proposing to fabricate animal
confinement structures on a small parcel within the Agricultural Zone district. The
rail road, US Highway 85, oil support activities and property which has been zoned
2
Industrial (1-3) are the property boundaries. The impact to surrounding land uses is
minimal, the applicant has submitted evidence of well water and will apply for the
appropriate individual sewage disposal system.
b. Section 24.3.1.2--This proposal is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
zone district. According to Section 31.1 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as
amended, "The A District is also intended to provide areas for the conduct of Uses
by Special Review which have been determined to be more intense or to have a
potentially greater impact than Uses Allowed by Right." Additionally, Section 31.4.2
of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended states that"Agricultural Service
esta'olishments primarily engaged in performing agricultural, animal husbandry, or
horticultural services on a fee or contract basis, including: farm equipment sales,
repair, and installation facilities." Section 31.3.18 of the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance, as amended, further states that"Any use permitted as a use by right, an
accessory use, or a use by special review in the Commercial or Industrial zone
districts provided the property is not a LOT in an approved or recorded subdivision
plat or LOTS part of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations
controlling subdivisions." This application is for the fabrication of animal confinement
structures to be sold on site.
A.Goal 1 of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan states, "Preserve prime farmland
for agricultural purposes which foster the economic health and continuance of
agriculture." Although the site is located on prime farmland, as recognized on USDA
maps on file with the Weld County Department of Planning Services, the site is
bordered by a rail road right-of-way on the east, a fuel transfer station on the south,
and US Highway 85 on the west. These limitations have created an "island" of prime
farmland of 13.4 acres. This "island" configuration is not conducive to efficient
farming.
c. Secf`ion 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. This site is bound by the railroad on the east,
State Highway 85 on the west, a fuel transfer station on the south, and WCR 20 on
the north. A residence exists adjacent to and north of the proposed use site. The
application is consistent with development on adjacent property. The applicant shall
adhere to noise and dust regulations to provide compatible operations adjacent to
residential 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. The Fort Lupton Planning Commission did respond and did
not indicate conflicts 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 applicant stated that improvements, excluding the
3
building shall be removed from the site should the special use permit be vacated.
The applicant also stated that once improvements were removed from site, the land
could be returned to agricultural production. This site is bound by the railroad on the
east. State Highway 85 on the west, a fuel transfer station on the south, and WCR
20 on the north. The adjacent uses create an island of farmland. This site
configuration is not conducive to agricultural 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' staff 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 completed 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 Special Review activity shall not occur nor shall any building or electrical
permits be issued on the property until the Recorded Exemption plat for RE-
2454 and the Special Review plat are ready to be recorded in the office of
the Weld County Clerk and Recorder. The Recorded Exemption was
approved by Planning staff on April 1, 1999 to bring an illegal parcel into
compliance with the State of Colorado and Weld County's minimum lot size
requirements.
B. The plat shall be amended to include the following:
Yll1Th
1. The approved drainage an retention rea (Public Works).
2. The applicant shall submit a landscaping plan to the Department of
Planning Services for review and approval. The landscaping plan
shall indicate location and species of all plant materials, planting

Ordinance. (Dept. Of Planning Services).

Department of Transportation to verify additional right-of-way improvements
needed at the intersection of WCR 20 and State Highway 85. (Public Works)
D. The applicant shall submit a parking and landscape plan to the Department
of Planning Services for approval. This plan shall include screening of the
fenced work area from State Highway 85. The parking plan shall be made
in accordance with Section 41 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. (Dept.
Of Planning Services)
