Case Summary:
The applicant is requesting a major amendment to A Site Specific Development Plan And Use By Special
Review Permit USR-742 which is for a horse training and breeding center. The amendment will include the
commercial rodeo and commercial roping arena component. The amendment is specifically for barrel racing
and other equestrian events. This component of the permit will take place on the north side of the property.
This includes the events and the parking for the events. The outdoor arena is already built and will continued
to be utilized. The main access point for the events will be coming off County Road 14 and not State
Highway 52.
Events will be held for six (6) months of the year, specifically April 15 through October 15. There is
anticipated to be no more than one -hundred fifty (150) individuals at one event, which is considered a large
event. This would include participants and spectators. Bottled water and screened portable toilets will be
used for the six (6) month event season. No parking, access changes, lighting, signage, fencing or
landscaping are proposed.
The two (2) residences associated with the original USR have been utilized since and will continue to be
used for the benefit of the horse training and breeding. No new residences are requested. The original
permitted USR is located on multiple properties but will only by located on the subject property after the
amendment occurs.
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 23-2-260
of the Weld County Code.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff 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.A. states: "Respecting Our Agricultural Heritage. Weld County has an
agricultural heritage built upon the hard work of pioneers and farms 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
the Comprehensive Plan support the importance of agriculture in the County."
The proposed use is an agricultural activity. Specifically, the facility is designed for western -
style sports such as rodeos and roping, activities that are inherent to the agricultural
heritage of Weld County. These activities have successfully co -existed with and originated
from agricultural and ranching practices and will add to the already permitted training and
breeding business on site.
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."
1 MJUSR21-86-742 -Chambers
Page 2 of 9
This code section supports the proposed USR operation, which hosts western -style sports,
being an agricultural activity that requires both livestock and large areas of semi -developed
land to host the practices and events.
Section 23-3-40.E. — Uses by special review, of the Weld County Code includes,
"commercial rodeos and commercial roping arenas."
This code section allows the applicant to apply for specific activities that may be perceived
as having a greater intensity of use, thereby requiring a use by special review permit. The
subject USR involves the usage of the property for hosting commercial barrel racing,
rodeos and roping events at the existing roping arena on -site.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
The adjacent lands are zoned A (Agricultural). The surrounding land uses consist of
agricultural, rural residential uses, sporadic businesses and oil and gas encumbrances.
There are seventeen (17) USRs within one mile of the site. To the west of the subject
property there is one (1) sheep feed lot, SUP -65 a 10 -inch natural gas
pipeline/pumpstation, M USR18-12-0074, one (1) vehicle parking and repair establishment,
USR-1332, one (1) composting facility, USR-1190, and two (2) kennels, SUP -152 and
USR-826. To the south of the subject property there is one (1) Water and Oil Recycling
Facility, AMSUP-454, one (1) 12 -inch natural gas pipeline, USR17-0068, one (1) Open Pit
Mining, USR 1367, one (1) extraction of sand and material, AMSUP-460, one (1) second
single family dwelling, CUP -38, one (1) kennel, USR-722 and one (1) home business,
USR-1715. To the east of the subject property there is one (1) greyhound training track,
USR-670 and one (1) home business, USR-924.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services sent notice to twenty-nine (29)
surrounding property owners within five hundred (500) feet of the subject property. No
correspondence was received back from surrounding property owners regarding the
proposed application. There were no emails or phone calls received regarding the
proposed application.
D. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future
development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with the future
development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of affected
municipalities.
The site is located within the three (3) mile referral area of the City of Fort Lupton and is
also within their Coordinated Planning Agreement (CPA) boundary. Fort Lupton returned
a referral dated December 23, 2021, with the comments regarding the future rights of way
of County Road 14 in their City Transportation Plan. The site is compatible with the future
development of the area.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Articles V and XI, of the
Weld County Code.
The property is not within the Special Flood Hazard Area, Geologic Hazard Overlay District,
Airport Overlay District, Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) area, Historic
Townsite Overlay District or the Agricultural Heritage Overlay District boundary.

F. Section 23-2-220.A.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve prime
agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
The property is approximately seventy (70) acres in size. The acreage being utilized for
the arena and parking is approximately seven (7) acres in size and is not utilized for grazing
or farming and will not disturb the remaining acreage which livestock grazes. The proposed
USR will also not remove any irrigated agricultural land from production.
G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 —There is adequate provisions for the protection of the health, safety,
and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.
The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code), Operation Standards
(Section 23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards can ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health,
safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.

31. 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.
32. 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 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.
1 MJUSR21-86-742 -Chambers
Page 8 of 9
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.

Weld County Planning Department with written certification indicating the above requirement has
been met.
A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of
ten days prior to the hearing to post a sign, adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road
right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not
adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent
place on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive)
intersects a publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application
to the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to
the scheduled Planning Commission hearing. You may view the staff report at https://accela-
