GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for an Oil
and Gas Support Facility (Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Station) in the A (Agricultural) Zone
District.
This project is north of and adjacent to CR 50 and is east of and adjacent to CR 49.
Parcel numbers: 096331300016 Lot B AMRE-4936.
Access for the proposed USR is onto CR 50 at an existing permitted access point (AP18-00361 and AP19-
00256 - O&G).
ACCESS
Development Review has reviewed the application materials related to access.
The parcel has one existing unpermitted access, onto County Highway 49, just north of the Neres Canal.
County Highway 49 is governed by an Access Control Plan (ACP) The ACP states that this access point
is for mixed use (Agriculture -Irrigation Ditch and O&G) and that this access point does not meet the
Minimum Access Spacing Criteria, in that it is less than the required 1,320 feet from CR 49's intersection
with CR 50. The ACP calls for this access point be relocated to meet the Minimum Access Spacing Criteria.
It is noted that no additional traffic will use this access point as part of the proposed USR.
The parcel has one existing unpermitted access, associated with Neres Ditch, onto CR 50.
The parcel has two existing permitted access points onto CR 50, approximately 1,485 feet east of the
intersection of CR 49 and CR 50. These access points (AP11-00439) appear to be for the same O&G site.
As the most eastern access appears inactive, the applicant should consider reclaiming this location.
The parcel has one existing shared permitted access point onto CR 50 at the most southeastern corner of
Lot A AMRE-4936 (Parcel No 096331300007). The access permits at this location are AP18-00361 and
AP19-00256 O&G. For Lot B to cross Lot A, an access and utility easement of a minimum of 30 feet shall
be recorded. It is noted that in the application materials a draft access and utility easement of 35 -feet -wide
has been included.
No additional access locations are requested.
Per Sec. 8-14-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County maintained roadways. We
strongly encourage you to discuss your access with Development Review prior to laying out your site plan
to ensure the approved accesses are compatible with your layout. Per Sec. 24-8-40, when feasible, there
