C. Section 23-4-1200.A.3 — The proposed use is compatible with applicable provisions of Chapter 22

Section 22-2-10.A. — 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.
The applicant's proposal is an agricultural based business in which the drivers will be transporting
commodities to and from local dairies and feedyards. This type of business promotes the
agricultural heritage in which Weld County is built upon.
Section 22-2-10.8. — 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 applicant is proposing to utilize the property for an Agricultural Support and Service trucking
company, that specializes in hauling commodities to local dairies and feedyards, and a single-
family home. This Zoning Permit would allow the applicant to have a property in which they can
park their vehicles, as well as conduct vehicle inspections, paperwork and general maintenance.
Section 22-2-10.C. — Promoting Economic Growth and Stability. Land use policies have a
significant impact on economic conditions in the County and should be structured to encourage

growth.
The proposed agricultural support and service business is providing stable jobs for fourteen (14)
employees, which encourages economic prosperity.
Section 22-2-30.A.1 — Land use changes should not inhibit agricultural production nor operations.
Since the proposed use is generally agricultural in nature it will not inhibit agricultural production or
operations.
D. Section 23-4-1200. A.4 -- The proposed use is compatible with the character of the neighborhood.
The Weld County Code allows Agricultural Support and Service facilities in the A (Agricultural) Zone
ZPAG25-0002 I Lohr
Page 4 of 10
District per Section 23-3-35.A. Per Section 23-1-90 of the Weld County Code, Agricultural Support
and Service is defined as: "Establishments principally engaged in serving dairies and farming,
excluding livestock confinement operations, meat processing, organic fertilizer
production/composting facilities, transloading facilities, and commercial truck washout facilities"
The site will be utilized for a trucking company that is principally engaged in the hauling of
agricultural commodities to local dairies and feedyards.
The surrounding properties are a mix of residences and agricultural lands. There is one (1) Use by
Special Review (USR) permit within one (1) mile of the subject property. This USR is a Solar Energy
Facility (USR24-0001). The Weld County Department of Planning Services sent notice to six (6)
surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the proposed ZPAG boundary. The Department of
Planning Services did not receive any written or telephone correspondence regarding the subject
property.

surrounding land uses and the region.
E. Section 23-4-1200.A.5 -- The proposed use is compatible with the general health, safety and

Services deems necessary in order to mitigate adverse effects of the use on the neighborhood.
Code Section 23-4-1230.A. states, "The authority and responsibility for approval and denial of a
zoning permit rest with the Department of Planning Services." This case is being recommended for
denial by the Department of Planning Services due to the number of commercial vehicles that are
being proposed.
G. Section 23-4-1200. A.7 -- The proposed use has adequate access and street/road or highway
facilities providing access to the property are adequate in size to meet the requirements of the
proposed use.
Per Weld County Department of Planning Services — Development Review referral dated February
