The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 24.7 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. 2. It is the opinion of the Board of County Commissioners that the applicant has shown compliance with Section 24.4.2 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as follows: A. Section 24.4.2.1 -- This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The site for the proposal is not irrigated and is not being utilized for agricultural production. The proposed commercial use of the concrete cutting business is located adjacent to the town limits of Windsor and is consistent with A.Goal 3 of the Comprehensive Plan 971147 PL1093 CC QL, I :teknvocrn SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT #1146 - JOHNSON PAGE 2 which discourages commercial development which is not located adjacent to existing incorporated municipalities. This goal helps ensure that the conversion of agricultural land to commercial and industrial activities occurs in an orderly manner, in harmony with the growth plans of the adjacent municipality. The Town of Windsor has indicated that it does not have a conflict with the proposed use and that annexation of the site into the Town is possible in the near future. B. Section 24.4.2.2 -- This proposal is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District. The Agricultural Zone District provides 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. This proposal is provided for by approval of a Use By Special Review Permit. C. Section 24.4.2.3 -- The proposal is consistent with Section 24.4.2.3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and will be compatible with future development of the surrounding area. As stated above, the proposal is located north of and adjacent to the town limits of Windsor. Surrounding land uses include Kodak directly to the south, which is zoned Industrial (1-3), and scattered commercial uses at the corner of Eastman Park Drive and State Highway 257. The surrounding area is in transition, being converted from agricultural to more urban land uses. D. Section 24.4.2.4 -- 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. The site is located within the Urban Growth Boundary of the Town of Windsor and within the referral boundary area of the City of Greeley. The Town of Windsor has indicated possible annexation of the site, as Windsor continues to grow, and encourages commercial and industrial activities to take place in the site's general area, near and around Kodak. The City of Greeley has indicated no conflict, as it believes the proposal affects Windsor more than Greeley. Section 24.4.2.5 -- The proposal is located within the Flood Hazard Overlay District Area identified by FEMA map 080266 0605D, officially adopted by Weld County. Any new construction or substantial improvement of structures, in accordance with Section 53.7.1.3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, shall obtain a Flood Hazard Development Permit. 971147 PL1093 SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT #1146 - JOHNSON PAGE 3 F.
