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. Currently, water is provided by the City of Greeley and a private well. There is a septic system for the existing home and future office. The Weld County Health Department is requiring public restrooms and this has been addressed through a Development Standard#11. Due to the size of the parcel, no prime farm ground will be taken out of production. 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. USR-1218, Schnerle, Page 2 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 compatible with surrounding land uses which include agricultural production, including a dairy and a few residences. The existing residence will be maintained in its current condition, and will be used as an office by the homeowners. The applicants are proposing some landscaping along 95th Avenue, which would help mitigate the impacts to surrounding property owners. 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. The City of Greeley reviewed this proposal and determined that this proposal does not comply with the policies or intent of the City Comprehensive Plan, however, conditions were added to their recommendation, if this application were to be approved. Conditions of Approval and Development Standards have been added to address the concerns of the City of Greeley. 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 24.3.1.7--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.

On site: 2 outbuildings, garage and residence.. No zoning or building code violations. 'There is a large vacant area on the north side of the residence where the storage units are to be placed. Presently, it slopes in this area and it appears that a lot of dirt work will be required before the storage units can be built. This is a very rural area, although it is several miles from the actual built-up area of Greeley. There is very little landscaping on the site and some landscaping should mitigate concerns of the City of Greeley and buffer this use from any surrounding land uses. No other concerns. • f 2d6/ (/ 'Ube A. Chester, Current Planner Hello
