Prepared for Reid & Samantha Lohr
Planning Questions: (Section 23-4-1200 of the Weld County Code)
1. Explain the proposed use and business name.
Reid and Samantha Lohr, doing business as L & P Commodities (L&P), are requesting a
Zoning Permit for Certain Uses in the Ag Zone (ZPAG) for an Agricultural Support and
Services Business as allowed by Section 23-3-35.A of the Weld County Code. L&P
specializes in the delivery of commodities to local dairies and feedyards. The subject
property is 3.2 acres located in Part of the Northwest Quarter of Section 30, Township 6
North, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M., being Lot B of RECX19-0041.
The subject property contains a 1,718-sf residence and 3,840-sf shop that will remain. The
shop is proposed to be used with the commercial operation. Access to the property is via
Weld County Road (WCR) 61. The access location is shown on the ZPAG site plan included
with this request.
The on -site operation will primarily be for the parking of trucks and equipment. One on -site
employee is proposed that will complete vehicle inspections, paperwork, and general site
maintenance. The primary operations will be the pick-up and drop-off of trucks. The majority
of L&P's operations will occur off -site at various agricultural locations around the county.
Parking of commercial vehicles will occur along the western and southern edge of the shop
building. Standard employee parking is proposed along the west edge of the property.
Vehicles that may be on -site include up to 14 semi -tractors with belt trailers and between 8-
12 employee passenger vehicles. Two semi -trucks will remain on site as back-up vehicles
should one of the trucks need repairs or improvements. No more than 12 semi -trucks are
expected to be used in daily operations.
Parking on site will occur 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Employees are expected to
access the site between 5:00-6:00 a.m. and 3:00-4:00 p.m. on average. Start and end times
will vary based on their clients' needs and scheduled trips.
2. Explain the need for the proposed use.

important part of the agricultural industry.
3. Describe the current and previous use of the land.
The site is currently used for residential purposes as the owners live on site. Prior to their
owning the property, the land was owned by Reid Lohr's parents. This was a dry pivot corner
until it was split off through the Recorded Exemption process.
4. Describe the proximity of the proposed use to residences.
The closest residence to the proposed ZPAG boundary is located approximately 170 -feet
south of the property boundary. This property is owned by the owner's grandfather. There are
two other residences located approximately 1,000 feet north and 1,400 feet south of the
subject area.
5. Describe the surrounding land uses of the site and how the proposed use is compatible
with them.
The subject property and the surrounding properties are in the Agricultural (A) Zone District.
The surrounding area contains rural residential, irrigated farmland, livestock confinement
operations, and oil and gas activities typically found in the A Zone. There are several USRs
in the surrounding area. USRs in the vicinity of this site include Non -1041 Pipeline, farm and
auto repair, excavation and pipeline construction, and mineral resource development.
The commodity trucking operation is compatible with the surrounding land uses. This area is
primarily for farming and similar agricultural uses. Company and employee -generated traffic
is expected to be very minimal for proposed operations with up to 12 employee vehicles and
12 commercial trucks accessing the subject property each day. Other traffic to the site will be
associated with the residential uses associated with the principal dwelling. The operation is
not expected to produce nuisance noise levels or odors.
6. Describe the hours and days of operation (i.e. Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m.).
Parking and equipment storage will occur 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, when employees
are not taking the vehicles and equipment off -site for business. Employees will primarily
access the site between 5:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. daily.
Occasional operations outside of the primary hours may be required due to the agricultural
industry needs.
7. Describe the number of employees including full-time, part-time and contractors. If
shift work is proposed, detail number of employees, schedule and duration of shifts.
It is expected that the operation will have up to 13 full-time employees. No shift work is
proposed. Employees will generally start work at 5:00 a.m. and end around 3:00 p.m. Start

welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County. Business -related
traffic will be minimal, and operations will occur primarily off -site at specific job
locations.
6) The application complies with any requirements the Director of Planning Services
deems necessary in order to mitigate adverse effects of the use on the neighborhood.
Noted.
7) The proposed use has adequate access and street/road or highway facilities providing

N/A.
Page 6 of 9
20. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan per
Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code.
Approval of this request would be consistent with Section 22-2-10 A. of the Weld County
Code which states, "Respecting Our Agricultural Heritage. Weld County has an agricultural
heritage built upon the hard work of pioneers and farmers on traditional family farms. Weld
County is now one of the most economically productive agricultural counties in the nation.
The Weld County Right to Farm Statement and the Goals and Objectives in this Plan support
the importance of agriculture in the County." This request helps to provide feed materials to
current dairies and feedyards promoting the on -going productivity of these operations.
Approval of this request would be consistent Section 22-2-10 B. of the Weld County Code
which states, "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 proposed
use will not inhibit agricultural production or operations and is harmonious with the
surrounding land uses.
Approval of this request would be consistent Section 22-2-30 A.1 and 2 of the Weld County
Code A. "Commit to the economic future of agriculture by (1) not inhibiting agricultural
production nor operations and (2) limit the density and intensity of development to maintain
agricultural areas." The proposed use will not inhibit agricultural production or operations.
This location is on a previously non -irrigated pivot corner. The delivery of commodities to
livestock confinement operations benefits both the farmers that grow crops and the dairymen
and livestock confinement operations that feed the livestock.
21. Explain how this proposal impacts the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County.
The proposed use is expected to have minimal impact on the health, safety, and welfare of
the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County. Business -related traffic will be minimal,
and operations will occur primarily off -site at specific job locations.
22. Explain how this proposal complies with Article V and Article XI of Chapter 23 if the
proposal is located within any Overlay Zoning District (Airport, Geologic Hazard, or
Historic Townsites Overlay Districts) or a Special Flood Hazard Area identified by
maps officially adopted by the County.
The site is not located within any Airport, Floodplain, Geologic Hazard, or Historic
Townsites Overlay Districts.
23. Detail known State or Federal permits required for your proposed use(s) and the status
of each permit. Provide a copy of any application or permit.
Page 7 of 9
No state or federal permits are anticipated with this ZPAG. The loading and unloading of
materials will occur off -site at each job location. Should state or federal permits be
determined to be required, they are requested to be a Condition of Approval of the ZPAG.
Environmental Health Questions: (Chapters 14, 23, and 30 of the Weld County Code)

There are no major open channels within the proposed property.
Historic Drainage
1. Overall Basin Description
The site has a generally flat topography with slopes from 0 to 3 percent. A topographic
map was downloaded from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website and is
provided in Appendix C. Historically, there have been no previous drainage issues with
the property.
A Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) map of the project area is
included in Appendix D. The property is located on pane108123C1600F and is outside
the floodplain boundaries.
2. Drainage Patterns Through Property
The site is in Weld County. The property is surrounded by agricultural zoned properties.
A Master Plan for the site area is currently unavailable. The site is generally flat and
appears to slope to the southwest, towards the access. There is an existing irrigation ditch
that runs east and west along the southern border of the property. There is an existing
irrigation pivot to the northeast that borders the property.
3. Off -site Drainage Flow Patterns
Offsite flows from the south appear to flow southwest away from the site. Offsite flows
from the west appear to flow southwest away from the site. Offsite flows from the north
appear to flow southwest toward the site. Offsite flows from the east appear to flow
southwest toward the site; therefore, an increase in runoff is expected.
Drainage Design Criteria
1. Development Criteria
The proposed runoff calculation was determined using the criteria set forth in the Urban
Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) Volumes 1, 2 and 3 and the Weld County
Engineering and Construction Criteria (WCECC).
2. Hydrological Criteria
From NOAA Atlas 14 Greeley, CO precipitation station, the estimated rainfall from the
100 -year, 1 -hour precipitation is 2.66 inches (see NOAA Atlas 14 Precipitation Data in
Appendix E). This value was used for runoff calculations.

Reid & Samantha Lohr
Percentage of imperviousness was determined using the recommended values from
WCECC Table 5-2. The overall percentage of imperviousness for the site was determined
to be approximately 36 percent (see Percentage of Imperviousness Calculation in
Appendix F).
Using the 100 -year, 1 -hour design storm and the UD-Rational v.1.02 spreadsheet the
peak runoff was calculated. The peak runoff flowrate was calculated using the time of
concentration, runoff coefficient, and the precipitation depth with the Rational Method
(see UD-Rational v.1.02 spreadsheet Runoff Calculation in Appendix G). The peak
runoff flowrate was determined to be approximately 12.11 cubic feet per second (cfs) for
the site.
Conclusions
This drainage narrative is consistent with the Weld County Code and the UDFCD. An
increased risk of damage from storm runoff is not expected since the site is existing, and
no improvements are to be made. We recommend that the site is exempt from stormwater
detention per Article XI, Storm Drainage Criteria, Section 8-11-45 Exceptions.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nres/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nres 142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (MRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
Custom Soil Resource Report
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
6
Custom Soil Resource Report
identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
11
Custom Soil Resource Report
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Precipitation frequency (PF) estimates in this table are based on frequency analysis of partial duration series (PDS).
Numbers in parenthesis are PF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 90% confidence interval. The probability that precipitation frequency
estimates (for a given duration and average recurrence interval) will be greater than the upper bound (or less than the lower bound) is 5°/0. Estimates at
upper bounds are not checked against probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimates and may be higher than currently valid PMP values.
Please refer to NOAA Atlas 14 document for more information.

TRAFFIC NARRATIVE
Prepared for Reid & Samantha Lohr
Introduction
This Traffic Narrative is prepared for the L & P Commodities (L&P) Zoning Permit for Certain
Uses in the Ag Zone (ZPAG) request for an agricultural support and services business (trucking
operation). The subject property is 3.2 acres located in Part of the Northwest Quarter of Section
30, Township 6 North, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M., being Lot B of RECX19-0041. The
property is located on Weld County Road (WCR) 61 approximately half a mile north of WCR
64.
The purpose of this narrative is to document projected traffic generation relative to the existing
street system. Off -site roadway warrants are not provided with this narrative, nor are existing
traffic counts documented.
Existing Conditions and Roadway Network
The subject property is accessed on the west side of the parcel from the existing gravel drive
located on WCR 61 approximately one-half mile north of WCR 64. The existing access is shared
and permitted for residential uses, permit no. AP 19-005 89. A new access permit for commercial
use will be submitted upon ZPAG conditional approval.
WCR 61 is a gravel two-lane north -south street and is classified as a local roadway. WCR 64 is a
paved two-lane east -west street and is classified as a collector roadway according to the 2045
Transportation Plan. All routes to and from the site will be on WCR 61.

Proposed Development
The site is an existing rural residential site. The trucking operation is also existing. The current
residence will continue to be used for residential purposes for the owner. The shop is expected to
be converted to commercial for the business.
The on -site operation will primarily be truck parking. The majority of L&P's operations will
occur off -site at various dairies and feedyards around the county. Vehicles that may be on -site
include up to 14 semi -tractors with belt trailers and between 8-12 employee passenger vehicles.
Two semi -trucks will remain on site as back-up vehicles should one of the trucks need repairs or
improvements. No more than 12 semi -trucks are expected to be used in daily operations.
Trip Generation
Parking and equipment storage will occur 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The expected hours
for outgoing and incoming vehicles and equipment will be Monday through Sunday, 5:00 A.M.
to 4:00 P.M. The Peak Hours will be from 5:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. in the morning, and in the
afternoon between 3:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. On -site operations are existing. Employees frequently
carpool and on -site employee parking varies between 8-12 vehicles.
