be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners for the following reasons:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23-2-260 of
the Weld County Code.
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 [Weld County
Comprehensive Plan] and any other applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-2-30.A.1. states: "Land use changes should not inhibit agricultural production nor
operations."
The subject property has historically been used for residential purposes. The location of the
parking area and the existing buildings on the 10 -acre parcel limit the amount of acreage that can
be devoted to agricultural uses: however, the business does support agriculture in the County.
Section 22-2-60.8.3. states: "Require that energy and mineral resource development conserve
the land and minimize the impact on surrounding land and the existing surrounding land uses."
The proposed use benefits the oil and gas industry without eliminating any productive agricultural
land.
Section 22-2-30. C. states: "Harmonize development with surrounding land uses."
The parking is set back from County Road 20 and is screened by the outbuilding. The noise and
dust generated by the trucks will be minimal as there are only three (3) trucks.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
Zone District.
Section 23-3-10. -- Intent, of the Weld County Code states.. "Agriculture in the County is
considered a valuable resource which must be protected from adverse impacts resulting from
uncontrolled and undirected business. industrial and residential land uses. The A (Agricultural)
Zone District is established to maintain and promote agriculture as an essential feature of the
County. The A (Agricultural) Zone District is intended to provide areas for the conduct of
agricultural activities and activities related to agriculture and agricultural production, and for areas
for natural resource extraction and energy development, without the interference of other,
incompatible land uses."
Section 23-3-40.V. Uses by Special Review, of the Weld County Code allows for a "Oil and Gas
Support and Service' in Lots outside of a subdivision and historic townsite in the (A) Agricultural
Zone District.

35 RIGHT TO EXTRACT MINERAL RESOURCES STATEMENT Weld County has some of the most
abundant mineral resources, including, but not limited to, sand and gravel, oil, natural gas, and coal
Under title 34 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, minerals are vital resources because (a) the state's
commercial mineral deposits are essential to the state's economy, (b) the populous counties of the state
face a critical shortage of such deposits, and (c) such deposits should be extracted according to a rational
plan, calculated to avoid waste of such deposits and cause the least practicable disruption of the ecology
and quality of life of the citizens of the populous counties of the state
Mineral resource locations are widespread throughout the County and people moving into these areas
must recognize the various impacts associated with this development Often times, mineral resource sites
are fixed to their geographical and geophysical locations Moreover, these resources are protected
property rights and mineral owners should be afforded the opportunity to extract the mineral resource
36 WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM STATEMENT Weld County is one of the most productive
agricultural counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties in the country in total
market value of agricultural products sold The rural areas of Weld County may be open and spacious,
but they are intensively used for agriculture Persons moving into a rural area must recognize and accept
there are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural practices and a lower level of
services than in town Along with the drawbacks come the incentives which attract urban dwellers to
relocate to rural areas open views, spaciousness, wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the
rural atmosphere and way of life Without neighboring farms, those features which attract urban dwellers
to rural Weld County would quickly be gone forever
Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-established agricultural
practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area Well -run agricultural activities
will generate off -site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment, slow -moving farm vehicles on
Resolution USR23-0014
Lazaro Lara Adame, do L&M Trucking, LLC
Page 9
rural roads, dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads, odor from animal confinement,
silage and manure, smoke from ditch burning, flies and mosquitoes, hunting and trapping activities,
shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife, and the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields,
including the use of aerial spraying It is common practice for agricultural producers to utilize an
accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to assist in their agricultural operations A
concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials often produces a visual disparity between rural and
urban areas of the County Section 35-3 5-102, C R S , provides that an agricultural operation shall not
be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs
methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production
Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community It is unrealistic to
assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential development
When moving to the County, property owners and residents must realize they cannot take water from
irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an adjudicated right to the water
Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size (twice the
size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700) miles of state and
county roads outside of municipalities The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available
resources Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on patrols of the County,
and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency responses, including law
enforcement, ambulance, and fire Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their
jobs and families to respond to emergencies County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed,
will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road Snow removal priorities mean that
roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm
Services in rural areas, in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services Rural dwellers must,
by necessity, be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers
People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting Farm
equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and center
pivot operations, high speed traffic, sandburs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and livestock, and
open burning present real threats Controlling children's activities is important, not only for their safety,
but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood
