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 follows: a. Section 24.3.1.1--This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. A. Goal 2 allows for commercial and industrial uses to locate in the Agricultural Zone District when the impact to surrounding properties is minimal, and where adequate services and infrastructure are available. The Development Standards, Conditions of Approval, and Operations Standards will effectively mitigate any adverse impacts to surrounding areas. Water is provided by Left Hand Water District and the sewage disposal is permitted by three separate septic systems. The property has previously been used by Meadowlark Optics under USR-797 for an office and manufacturing facility. The current application is a less intensive use and a portion of the property will still be used for agricultural purposes. b. Section 24.3.1.2--This proposal is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) zone district. Section 31.4.15 describes a Home Business 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 USR-1223, Fischer, Page 2 development of the surrounding area. The surrounding area consists of several residences and agricultural uses, mainly pasture lands. This application is for a construction business with two employees and a minimal amount of equipment, which will be stored within a screened area. The previous owner had a large scale manufacturing business on the property with approximately 45 employees. The proposed use will be less intensive and will remain compatible with 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 district and with the future development as projected by the Comprehensive Plan or Master Plan of affected municipalities. This proposal lies within the referral area of the Towns of Erie and Frederick and the City of Longmont, however does not lie within an Urban Growth Boundary of any municipality. Referrals were received from all three communities which indicated no 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--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 prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use. The proposal lies within an area that is designated prime farmground on the U.S.D.A. Soils map, however, as stated above, the property has had a Use by Special Review permit previously for an industrial-type use. The applicant has indicated that they will continue to use a large portion of the parcel for pasture land. 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.
