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: Section 24.4.2.1 -- This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, as amended. The proposal is for a two -acre increase of an existing oil and gas support and service operation and 971989 PL0624 &.& : PL A'zj,Q& /Cauc, fl; Semin-ervilk- SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT #894 - KAUFFMAN LAND AND DEVELOPMENT PAGE 2 contractor's shop for vehicle and equipment maintenance relating to those activities, as well as the construction of an addition to the existing shop building, the construction of an additional shop building, and the construction of a permanent office to replace the existing mobile home. The proposed addition is to provide additional space for existing operations, not to increase the intensity of the activity or to add supplemental activities. This is consistent with Agricultural Goal and Policy 5 of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan which states the extraction of mineral and oil and gas resources should preserve or minimize the impact on prime agricultural land. The proposed additional two acres are dryland, sandy soils which are not prime farm ground and are not currently in production. The proposal is also consistent with UGB.Goal 2 which states that urban development shall be concentrated in or adjacent to existing municipalities. This proposal is located within the Town of Firestone's Urban Growth Boundary. B. Section 24.4.2.2 -- This proposal is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District. The Agricultural Zone District is intended to provide areas to conduct agricultural activities without the interference of other, incompatible land uses. The Agricultural Zone 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. This proposal is consistent with Section 31.4.1 Mineral Resource Development facilities including oil and gas support and service in the A (Agricultural) Zone District of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended. C. Section 24.4.2.3 -- The proposal is consistent with Section 24.4.2.3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended, and will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. The surrounding properties are zoned agricultural and include the following uses: open range land to the north and south, an existing turkey facility to the east, and one residence approximately '% mile to the west. Conditions of Approval and Development Standards ensure that the proposed uses will remain compatible with the existing surrounding 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 Town of Firestone's Urban Growth Boundary and the 971989 PL0624 SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT #894 - KAUFFMAN LAND AND DEVELOPMENT PAGE 3 Tri-Area IGA boundary. Although the Town of Firestone is requesting that the applicant execute an annexation agreement pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of the IGA, the Weld County Board of Commissioners indicated during the review of USR-1151, dated July 30, 1997, that Section 4.3(b) is not intended to apply to applications for the expansion of an existing use. It is staff's opinion that the concerns received from the Town of Firestone and the Weld County Health and Public Works Departments will be addressed by the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards placed upon this application. E. Section 24.4.2.5 -- The proposal is located within the Town of Firestone's Urban Growth Boundary area as delineated in the IGA. The site is not located within any other Overlay District areas identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County. F. Section 24.4.2.6 -- The site is not classified as prime agricultural land. The proposed additional two acres are dryland, sandy soils and are currently not in production. G. Section 24.4.27 --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 the 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.
