APPLICANT: Central Weld County Water District
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review permit for a Major Facility
of a Public Utility (5 million gallon water storage tank) in the A (Agricultural)zone
district.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the NE4 of Section 32, T2N, R67W of the 6th P.M., Weld
County, Colorado.
LOCATION: West of and adjacent to Weld County Road 17;approximately 1/4 mile south of Weld
County Road 16.
Shani Eastin explained that this is a request for Special Use Permit for a water storage facility tank to be used
as a Major Facility of a Public Utility. This property is located approximately 1/2 mile from the Tri-Towns of
Frederick, Firestone and Dacono on Weld County Road 17 and approximately two miles north of Highway 52.
Located to the east of this site is a communication tower, to the south are two existing water tanks that will
be included in this use permit area and another water tank used for the Town of Frederick water storage
facility. Adjacent to this property is an existing mobile home that is being used temporarily during the
construction of a new residence.
Staff feels the applicants have met the requirements of Section 25.7.2. and shown compliance with Section
25 and 25.8 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended. This proposal is consistent with Weld
County Comprehensive Plan and lies within the urban growth boundary area of the Tri-Area Planning
Commission. No overlay districts affect this area. Staff feels reasonable efforts have been made by the
applicants to avoid irrigated crop land and minimize the impact on such land. This facility will not have an
adverse affect on existing and future development of the surrounding area.
The Department of Planning Services' Staff is recommending approval of this application with six Conditions
06,06
U of Approval and ten Development Standards.
