2. It is the opinion of the Planning Commission that the applicant has shown compliance with Section
23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows:
A. Section 23-2-220.A.1 -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-2-10. B. states: "Respecting Private Property Rights. One of the basic principles
upon which the United States was founded is the right of citizens to own and utilize property
so long as that use complies with local regulations and does not interfere with or infringe
upon the rights of others."
The request to utilize currently non -agriculturally productive land for a kennel is in line with
the Comprehensive Plan. The Kennel is a service dog training facility with dogs on -site and
boarded overnight from Monday mornings to Thursday afternoons, with no dogs on -site
from Thursday afternoons to Monday mornings. The property owner's business will comply
with local regulations and does not appear to interfere with or infringe upon the rights of
others.
Section 22-2-10.C of the Weld County Code states: "Promoting Economic Growth and
Stability. Land use policies have a significant impact economic conditions in the County
and should be structured to encourage economic prosperity. To ensure the continued
strength of Weld County's economy, land use processes and decisions based on the
[Comprehensive Plan] shall be consistent and promote financially responsible growth."
The use will be training service dogs for those within our community that need support.
The service these dogs provide to those in need will allow them to better navigate their
daily lives.
Sec 22-2-10 D. of the Weld County Code states: Protecting Health, Safety. and General
Welfare. Land use regulations and policies will protect and enhance the health, safety, and
general welfare of the citizens of Weld County.
Noise has been taken into account as no dogs will be on -site and boarded overnight from
Thursday afternoons to Monday mornings. The applicant has indicated nuisance barking
is not permitted since dogs will be on -site in advanced stages of service training. The
Development Standards, and the Conditions of Approval will assist in mitigating the
impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties and ensure compatibility with surrounding
land uses and the region.

Use by Special Review Permit for a Kennel (dog training and boarding facility for
up to eight [8] dogs), outside of subdivisions and historic townsites in the
A (Agricultural) Zone District.
Lot A of Recorded Exemption RE -4394; being part of the E1/2 NE1/4 NE1/4 of
Section 19, Township 3 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M.. Weld County,
Colorado.
Approximately 310 feet west of County Road 3; approximately 730 feet south of
County Road 32 section line.
Matthew VanEyll, Planning Services, presented Case USR25-0015, reading the recommendation and
comments into the record. Mr. VanEyll noted that no telephone calls or correspondence was received from
surrounding property owners regarding this application. The Department of Planning Services
recommends approval of this application along with conditions of approval and development standards.
Mike McRoberts, Development Review, reported on the existing traffic, access to the site and drainage
conditions for the site.
Carol Heiden, 14733 CR 3, Longmont, Colorado, stated that they train dogs to work with people with
disabilities and added that their primary disability are people who are deaf. She added that their dogs are
hearing service dogs and they are the first hearing dog organization. Ms. Heiden said that all of the dogs
are housed indoors and there will be no more than four (4) dogs outside at any given time. She added that
nuisance barking is something that they do not allow. Ms. Heiden provided an explanation of the training
process with the clients.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
Dan Borys, 14755 CR 3, stated that he lives directly east of this proposed site. Mr. Borys noted that 10
years ago a different kennel was approved in this area and there has been a constant noise problem. He
expressed concern regarding the noise and asked who will be responsible for the maintenance from the
increased traffic and if the property will remain commercial.
Ms. Heiden said that the existing kennel does have a lot of dogs and a lot of noise. She stated that her
situation is very different in that they are not boarding dogs but rather training service dogs. She added
that noise is not an issue because these dogs have to be out in public with their people and they can't
develop the habit of barking.

Kann McDougal, County Attorney, clarified that the'applicant is not changing the zone of the property so it
will remain in agricultural , She added that it does go with the land but the restrictions that are established
would remain with it so just any business couldn't come in and take over the property
Mr VanEyll referred to the existing kennel in the neighborhood and said that if there is a complaint the
county can investigate it and proceed through the violation process
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if they are in agreement with those The applicant replied that they are in agreement
