PLANNER: Scott Ballstadt
CASE NUMBER: USR-1182 HEARING DATE: May 5, 1998
APPLICANT: City of Longmont
ADDRESS: 350 Kimbark Street
Longmont, Colorado 80501
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a Recreational
Facility (BMX bicycle racing track) in the A (Agricultural) zone district
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the S1/2 NE1/4 of Section 6, T2N, R68W of the 6th P.M.,
Weld County, Colorado
LOCATION: South of and adjacent to Weld County Road 26 and approximately '/ mile east of
Weld County Road 1
SIZE OF PARCEL: 2 acres
PARCEL NUMBER: 1313 06 000024
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES'STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS
REQUEST BE APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. 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 24.4.2 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended, as
follows:
a. Section 24.4.2.1 -- This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive
Plan. The Public Facilities and Services section of the Weld County Comprehensive
Plan states that, "One basic objective of Weld County is to plan and coordinate a
timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services. In
accomplishing this objective, municipalities are considered to be the principal
2
provider of services and facilities for urban uses." The application materials
indicated that the proposed public recreational facility will be open to the youth of
Weld and Boulder counties. Longmont BMX, Inc. is a non-profit corporation which
leases the land from the City of Longmont. Additionally, Agricultural Goal 1 of the
Comprehensive plan stresses the preservation of prime farmland. The BMX track
occupies 2 acres of the 69 acre site. Although the land is considered prime
farmland, the City of Longmont purchased the property for future expansion of
Union Reservoir and the site is not currently being farmed. Subsequently, no land
will be taken out of production with this proposal.
b. Section 24.4.2.2-- This proposal is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
zone district. Section 31.4.3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance provides for
recreational facilities and uses including race tracks and race courses as a Use by
Special Review in the Agricultural zone district.
c. Section 24.4.2.3 -- The uses proposed will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses. The surrounding land uses include Union Reservoir to the
north and rural residential and agricultural uses to the east, west and south. The
outlet ditch for Union Reservoir follows the western property boundary. The
proposed recreational use is consistent with existing surrounding land uses as
Union Reservoir is a recreational facility as well. As of April 28, 1998, the
Department of Planning Services had received letters from two surrounding property
owners, both indicating concerns primarily dealing with the traffic on Weld County
Road 26. The applicant has indicated that the City of Longmont will be coordinating
with the Weld County Public Works Department to address improvements to Weld
County Road 26 which will include dust mitigation measures. Condition of Approval
#2C also addresses potential safety issues pertaining to the Union Reservoir outlet
ditch.
d. Section 24.4.2.4-- The uses proposed 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 Longmont ultimately intends the future use of
the site for expansion of Union Reservoir. The proposed BMX facility is a
recreational use, adjacent to Union Reservoir, and is intended to be temporary until
such expansion occurs.
e. Section 24.4.2.5 -- The proposal is located within the Mixed Use Development
(MUD) Overlay District Areas identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County.
The use is consistent with Section 31.4.3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as
a single user recreational facility in the Agricultural zone district on property owned
by the City of Longmont.
f. Section 24.4.2.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve
productive agricultural land. The BMX track occupies 2 acres of the 69 acre site.
Although the land is considered prime farmland, the City of Longmont purchased
3
the property for future expansion of Union Reservoir and the site is not currently
being farmed. Consequently, no land will be taken out of production with this
proposal.
g. Section 24.4.2.7--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.
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.

equipment available to implement the dust control as required by the Weld County
Health Department. (Health Dept. & Dept. of Planning Services)

rangers stationed at Union Reservoir as indicated by the applicant. (Dept. of
