CASE SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting a Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) Zone District to the C-3 (Business
Commercial) Zone District. The parcel is approximately 71.45 acres in size of vacant land. Any new
business will require a Site Plan Review (SPR), a Use by Special Review Permit (USR) or a Zoning Permit.
Background:
The applicant, WW, LLC c/o Ralph Walker, purchased the property in August 23, 2016 and on March 6,
2017 submitted a Use by Special Review application USR17-0016 for RV and boat storage, a dump station,
enclosed self -storage, and the parking and staging of trash containers, roll -offs, and vehicles and/or
equipment to pick up and deliver roll -offs, and four (4) individual flex office buildings in the A (Agricultural)
Zone District. During the review of the USR17-0016 it was noted by staff that an unpermitted roll -off and
dumpster business catering to construction industry was operating on the site.
Staff and the Planning Commission recommended denial and the USR was denied by the Board of County
Commissioners at the June 21, 2017 hearing. Per the amended Board of County Commissioner Resolution
dated March 15, 2018 the findings for denial include incompatible with the existing land uses, which at that
time included agricultural and residential and impacts to traffic as the only access is on to County Road 2
at the top of a hill and there are no turn lanes.
In 2019 the applicant, WW, LLC c/o Ralph Walker, submitted a Substantial Change in order to proceed with
a Planned Unit Development (PUD) subdivision with residential and commercial uses on the same parcel.
This Substantial Change request was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on September 8,
2019, however, the PUD application was never submitted and the property is currently vacant.
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 23-2-50 of
the Weld County Code.
2. The submitted materials are in compliance with Section 23-2-30 of the Weld County Code, as
follows:
A. Section 23-2-30.A.1. — That the proposal is consistent with Chapter 22 [Comprehensive Plan]
of the Weld County Code.
Section 22-2-30.8 states: "Locate urban development in urban areas."
Section 22-2-30. 8.1 states: "Encourage annexation of urban -scale development. Zone
changes and subdivisions within one -quarter mile of municipal limits are strongly discouraged.
Property owners who want to rezone or subdivide their property are encouraged to contact the
municipality about annexation."
The property is located more than one (1) mile from the nearest municipality. This Change of
Zone is consistent with the Section 22-2-30.B.1. because the closest municipality is more than
one (1) mile from the site.
Section 22-2-30. 8.2 states: "Urban -scale development shall only be placed where urban
services, including public water, are available."
Todd Creek Village Metropolitan District (TCVMD) submitted a Will Serve letter dated
December 1, 2017. TCVMD will provide water to the site.
Per the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment, referral dated May 30,
2024, an on -site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) will serve the site.
Section 22-2-40.A. states: "Support compatible economic development opportunities."
COZ24-0002 I WW, LLC

This site is partially in a Weld County Opportunity Zone. The location of the site is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan's intent to place commercial businesses within one-half mile of
an intersection of a collector and an arterial road.
Section 22-4-10.B.1, the Weld County Opportunity Zone criteria, states that zone changes to
commercial and industrial are preferred in select areas of the County. Specifically, within one-
half (1/2) mile of collector/arterial intersections.
This property is located within the one-half mile (1/2) of the intersection of County Road 2 and
County Road 19 therefore it is within a Weld County Opportunity Zone as defined by the
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan states that zone changes to commercial and
industrial are preferred in the Opportunity Zones.
B. 23-2-30.A.2. — The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by granting the
Change of Zone will be compatible with the surrounding land uses.
The adjacent properties to the east are zoned both C-3 (Business Commercial) and A
(Agricultural). The properties to the north and west are also zoned A (Agricultural) and the
properties to the south are in Adams County. The land uses to the north, east, and west include
rural residential, agriculture, vacant land. The land use to the south, in Adams County, is an oil
and gas well pad. The C-3 (Business Commercial) zoned property is located east of and
adjacent to the subject property and was rezoned in 2022 under case #COZ22-0010 this parcel
is currently vacant land. The land use on the south side of County Road 2 (168th Avenue) is a
well pad with about thirty (30) wells via Adam's County case # USR2018-00002 and A-3
(Agricultural -3) Zone District. Additionally, Eagle Shadow Subdivision is located in Adams
County about a half mile west of the site.
There are nine (9) properties in Weld County that are adjacent to this site and eight (8) are
zoned A (Agricultural) and one is zoned C-3 (Business Commercial). The eight (8) agriculturally
zoned properties range in size from 2.2 acres to 46 acres in size and each parcel contain at
least one (1) single-family dwelling -unit.
There are fourteen (14) USRs within one (1) mile of the site. USR-1396, USR-1063, and USR-
1077 are all for 24 -inch natural gas pipelines. Amended AMUSR-256 is for an oil and gas
support and service facility. MUSR12-0013 is for a Class II Oilfield Waste Disposal Facility;
USR19-0019 is for a storage and staging yard for oil and gas equipment; USR-1376 is for a
landscaping business; USR18-0128 is for a contractor shop; Fourth Amended 4MUSR22-87-
778 for oil and gas support and service; USR17-0032 is for a greater than 12 -inch high-
pressure natural gas pipeline; USR12-0022 is for a RV and Boat facility; USR17-0067 is for a
self -storage facility; SUP -10 is for a kennel; USR18-0053 is for eight (8) compressors and five
(5) construction office trailers.
The site is located within the three (3) mile referral area for the Cities of Dacono, Northglenn,
and Brighton as well as Adams County. The Cities of Dacono and Northglenn submitted referral
agency comments stating no concerns dated May 29, 2024 and June 5, 2024 respectively.
Adams County submitted referral agency comments dated May 10, 2024. The City of Brighton
did not return referral agency comments.
Adams County, in their referral dated May 10, 2024, stated that, "The lots located South of
E.168th Avenue in Adams County have a future land use (FLU) designation of Residential Low.
The Residential Low FLU designation is intended for suburban and exurban areas in Adams
County as it primarily consists of single-family housing. The preferred land use adjacencies are
Agriculture Small Scale, Parks and Open Space, and Residential Low. Typical zone districts
are A-1, RE, and R -1-C. [Adams County zone districts]"
The referral also states that, "Since the preferred land use adjacencies do not provide for
Commercial Zoning, this proposal is most likely not consistent with the Adams County
Comprehensive Plan. The applicant could consider some enhanced screening/setbacks from
COZ24-0002 I WW, LLC
Page 3 of 9
the southern property line to mitigate any potential negative impacts from the proposed
commercial use."
It is unclear when the "suburban and exurban" will be built out with residential dwelling units as
a majority of this Adams County property is currently encumbered with a large oil and gas
battery permitted via Adam's County USR2018-00002.
The subject site is not located within a Coordinated Planning Agreement (CPA) boundary of
any municipality.
The Department of Planning Services sent notice to twelve (12) surrounding property owners
within 500 -feet of the subject parcel. Five (5) surrounding property owners, all within the 500 -
foot buffer, responded with objections to this Change of Zone. The concerns outlined in the
letters include issues due to increased traffic, taking away agricultural land, the commercial
uses not being compatible with the surrounding residential uses, potential visual impact, noise,
and odors from a commercial operation, County Road 2 in a state of disrepair, uncertainty of
what can be built on a commercially zoned property, property values decreasing. The letters
also state there are two (2) parcels adjacent to and north of the subject property that use the
access easement from County Road 2 and the owner is concerning that a re -zoning could
violate the recorded access agreement. These letters were sent to the applicant's
representative on June 9, 2024 and the applicant responded to each of these letters on August
14, 2024. The responses from the applicant were emailed to the respective Surrounding
Property Owner by staff on August 14, 2024.
There is an access and utility easement that travels north -south through the center of the
subject property from the center point where the site abuts County Road 2 to two (2) smaller
parcels north of and adjacent to the subject property. This easement is a thirty (30) foot access
and utility easement for the benefit of Lot A of RE -4407 and SE -1083 and provides ingress and
egress as well as a utility easement to the two (2) smaller parcels now known as Lot A of
RECX16-0076 and SE -1083. These two (2) smaller lots are under the same ownership at this
time. This easement was created in 2006 on Recorded Exemption plat RE -4407 (reception
#3409326, recorded August 4, 2006) and also shown on Recorded Exemption plat, RECX16-
0076 (reception #4219060, recorded July 14, 2016). RECX16-0076 adjusted the lot lines
between Lot A and Lot B of RE -4407. A separate document, created in 2016, (reception
#4229459, recorded August 16, 2016) elaborates on the use and maintenance of this
easement.
According to the referral comments from Development Review, dated June 7, 2024, states that,
"The applicant shall obtain a commercial access permit. This may include reconfiguring the
existing access point."
The applicant, WW, LLC c/o Ralph Walker, purchased the property in August 23, 2016 and on
March 6, 2017 submitted a Use by Special Review application USR17-0016 for RV and boat
storage, a dump station, enclosed self -storage, and the parking and staging of trash containers,
roll -offs, and vehicles and/or equipment to pick up and deliver roll -offs, and four (4) individual
flex office buildings in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. During the review of USR17-0016 it
was noted by staff that an unpermitted roll -off and dumpster business was operating on the
site. Although clarification was requested from the applicant during the review of this Change
of Zone, it is unclear who operated this roll -off and dumpster business, but it doesn't appear to
be operating on the site currently.
Staff and the Planning Commission recommended denial of USR17-0016 and the USR was
denied by the Board of County Commissioners at the June 21, 2017 hearing. Per the amended
Board of County Commissioner Resolution dated March 15, 2018 the findings for denial include
incompatible with the existing land uses, which at that time included agricultural and residential,
and impacts to traffic as the only access is on to County Road 2 at the top of a hill and there
are no turn lanes.

In 2019 the applicant, \NW, LLC c/o Ralph Walker, submitted a Substantial Change in order to
proceed with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) subdivision with residential and commercial
uses on the same parcel. This Substantial Change request was approved by the Board of
County Commissioners on September 8, 2019, however, the PUD application was never
submitted and the property is currently vacant.
This recommendation of approval is based on the findings that this area of the County has
changed in character since 2020. There are two (2) new single-family dwelling units
constructed in 2022 on the properties west of and adjacent site and one (1) on a property to
the east of the site. However, in addition to these two residences, a newly revised Weld County
Comprehensive Plan was adopted on November 9, 2020 and established Opportunity Zones.
Finally, in the past two (2) years, three (3) Change of Zones applications have been approved
in this area, each of these Change of Zones have been a change from A (Agricultural) to C-3
(Business Commercial). The first Change of Zone, COZ22-0010, was approved by the Board
of County Commissioners (BOCC) on December 21, 2022. The second Change of Zone,
COZ23-0002, was approved by the BOCC on August 9, 2023. This property is owned by the
Seltzer family and has had a RV storage facility on it since 2012. The third Change of Zone,
COZ23-0005, was approved by the BOCC on May 8, 2024 and is south of and adjacent to
COZ23-0002 and also owned by the Seltzer family. All of these Change of Zone cases had a
recommendation of approval from staff and the Planning Commission. The four (4) properties
are within one quarter (1/4) mile of each other and are all within a one-half mile (1/2) mile radius
of the intersection of County Road 2 and County Road 19 placing them entirely or partially
within an Opportunity Zone.
County Road 2 does not have turn lanes at the subject property, however, any development
on the site will need to meet all County regulations concerning traffic. It was noted, during the
site visit by staff, that County Road 2 has been paved within the last few months and is no
longer is a state of disrepair as stated in the Surrounding Property Owners' letter.
The site in a Weld County Opportunity Zone which is a preferred site for rezoning to commercial
and industrial. Any future commercial uses will have to be approved through a Site Plan
Review, Use by Special Review, or a Zoning Permit process. Site Plan Review and Use by
Special Review applications are sent to referral agencies and, with the Use by Special Review
and Zoning Permit processes, also sent to the surrounding property owners for comment. The
Conditions of Approval and Development Standards applied to both this Change of Zone and
any future Site Plan Reviews, Use by Special Reviews, or Zoning Permits will adequately
address and mitigate potential impacts.
C. 23-2-30.A.3. — That adequate water and sewer service can be made available to the site to
serve the uses permitted within the proposed zone district.
Todd Creek Village Metropolitan District (TCVMD) submitted a Will Serve letter dated
December 1, 2017. TCVMD will provide water to the site.
Per the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment, referral dated May 30,
2024, an on -site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) will serve the site.
D. Section 23-2-30.A.4. - Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are
adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zone districts.
Per the referral dated June 7, 2024, from the Department of Planning Services — Development
Review County Road 2 is a collector road. This road meets the criteria specified in Section 23-
2-30.A.4 and Section 23-2-40.B.4. for Change of Zone in that this road is paved.
This portion of County Road 2 is a paved road with 60 feet of right-of-way. Per March 14, 2014,
Memorandum of Understanding between Weld County and Adams County, this portion of
County Road 2 is to be maintained by Adams County.

E. Section 23-2-30.A.5. — In those instances where the following characteristics are applicable to
the rezoning request, the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the applicable
standards:
1) Section 23-2-30.A.5.a. — If the proposed Change of Zone is located within any Overlay
District identified by maps officially adopted by the County, that the applicant has
demonstrated compliance with the County regulations concerning Overlay Districts.
Compliance may be demonstrated in a previous public hearing or in the hearing concerning
the rezoning application.
The proposed Change of Zone (COZ) site is not located within any overlay district officially
adopted by the County, including A -P (Airport) Overlay District, 1-25 Overlay District,
Geologic Hazard Overlay District, MS4 - Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System area,
Special Flood Hazard Area, Historic Townsites Overlay District, or Agricultural Heritage
Overlay District.
2) Section 23-2-30.A.5.b. - That the proposed rezoning will not permit the use of any area
known to contain a commercial mineral deposit in a manner which would interfere with the
present or future extraction of such deposit by an extractor to any greater extent than under
the present zoning of the property.
The proposed zoning will not interfere with the future extract of mineral deposits anymore
that the existing zoning. The Geologic Hazards and Mineral Resources Report from Earth
Engineering Consultants, LLC, dated April 29, 2024, submitted in the application materials,
state that no sources of critical minerals are inferred at this site and no significant resources
of sand and gravel exist below ground surface. It goes on to state that the site is located
within the Spindle Oil and Gas field and that there are oil/gas facilities and/or on the site
The Report states that based on this information it appears potential oil/gas resources
could exist, therefor, an evaluation by others would be needed to evaluate that possibility.
The Colorado Geological Survey in the referral dated May 15, 2024, stated that they have
no objection to approval of the COZ24-0002 rezone and that the property is not within a
mapped aggregate resource area.
3) Section 23-2-30.A.5.c. - If soil conditions on the site are such that they present moderate
or severe limitations to the construction of structures or facilities proposed for the site,
that such limitations can be overcome and that the limitations will be addressed by the
applicant and/or the applicant's successors or assigns prior to the development of the
property.
The Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) Soil Survey indicates that 84% of
the site consists of low -slope (1-3%) Nunn loam soils and about 8% consist of a
combination of low -slope (1-3%) Wiley -Colby complex soils and moderate slope (3-5%)
Ulm clay loam and the remaining 8% of the site is classified as water although there are
no visible water bodies on the site. Both the Nunn and the Wiley -Colby complex soils are
classified as "Prime Farmland if Irrigated" and Ulm clay loam is classified as "Farmland of
Statewide Importance".
The Geologic Hazards and Mineral Resources Report from Earth Engineering Consultants,
LLC, dated April 29, 2024, concludes with, "...the proposed development appears
compatible with the observable geologic conditions at the site. A preliminary geotechnical
investigation is recommended to characterize the subsurface conditions and provide
recommendations for planning site development and design of the site grading period a
preliminary investigation may find subsurface geologic hazards not identified by this
evaluation. Additional investigations will be required to provide design recommendations
for building foundations and pavements after site development."
