Case Summary:
The applicant and property owner requests a Use by Special Review permit for an oil and gas support
service business in the A (Agricultural) zone district, more specifically outdoor painting of oil and gas
separators on approximately a 23,000 SF area of compacted road base located in in the southeastern
portion of the site. Up to two (2) full-time employees may be present during delivery of equipment and
during painting operations. The site will primarily be used to paint 48" oil and gas separators. Other
items that may be painted on site include 72" separators, bullet scrubbers, pipe racks, and other oil
and gas vessels.
Newly manufactured separators are delivered to the site for painting up to two (2) times each week.
One week turnaround on delivered products is the operational goal for this business. The property is
not intended to be used for storage of separators or other oil and gas equipment. Prior to being painted,
each item is steam cleaned to remove incidental dust using trailer mounted water tanks and a Hotsy
hot water pressure washer. Trailer -mounted water tanks are filled off site at public pay -to -fill potable
water stations, located in the Cities of Fort Lupton and Brighton, as example.
Painting operations will occur during daylight hours, seven days a week between the hours of 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m., weather permitting. Up to eighty (80) gallons of water based paint will be stored on site for
use in business operations. The preparation and painting activity is not expected to produce nuisance
noise levels or odors.
As operations will only occur during daylight hours, no outdoor lighting is proposed. Four commercial
trucks are anticipated weekly, two vehicles will drop-off equipment to be painted and two vehicles will
pick up the finished product. The applicant will load and unload the equipment utilizing a fork-lift
parked on site.
Access is existing and is located parallel to the north property line and serves both the Martin residence
and the business located to the east. Potable water is bottled and there is a screened port -a -let located
near the painting operations.
There are existing improvements located on the property including the Martin residence and two utility
buildings. Per the narrative, the two utility buildings are for personal storage and no component of the
commercial operation will be housed or utilized as part of the business. All components of the business
are parked or stored outside. There is no proposal for fuel storage on site. There is existing landscaping
to the west and south of the residence and there is also a fence parallel to County Road 21. No additional
fencing, screening or landscaping is proposed.
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED BASED ON THE FOLLOWING APPROVAL CRITERIA:
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 Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown compliance with
Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows:
Section 23-2-220.A.1 -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other applicable code
provisions or ordinance in effect.
Chapter 22, Article II, Section 22-2-30.A.1 addresses Weld County's commit to the economic future of
agriculture, specifically stating land use changes should not inhibit agricultural production nor operations.
The proposed use will not inhibit agricultural production or operations are the property is not in agricultural
production and is of an irregular shape that would substantially restrict viable agricultural production.
Further, over half of the site is graded in road base for field operations.
USR21-0017 - Jeremy Martin
Page 2 of 9
Chapter 22, Article II, Section 22-2-60.B.5 addresses the support of responsible energy and mineral
development. Energy development facilities should preserve agricultural areas and enhance the rural
landscape. The use of the non -agrarian land is indirectly supporting the energy sector by providing a
necessary service. All oil field operations have equipment, piping and materials that are exposed to the
elements, the applicant is providing a local service to the oil and gas industry by applying a protective
coating of primer and paint to limit corrosion and thereby helping to extend the life of the equipment.
Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
The proposed use is permittable under Section 23-3-40.V
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.
The proposal meets the intent because the proposed use directly supports the oil andgas industry and
by default the energy development sector of the Weld County economy. Further, Article III of Chapter 23
of the Weld County Code lists oil and gas support and service businesses as a use allowed by special
review outside of subdivisions and historic townsites.
Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding
land uses.
The proposed use is in an area that can support this development and the proposed screening,
Development Standards, and Conditions of Approval will assist in mitigating the impacts of the facility on
adjacent properties and ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses and region.
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, City of Brighton and
Adams County. Adams County in their referral dated September 23, 2021 indicated no conflict with their
interests. The City of Fort Lupton and City of Brighton did not return a referral.
The subject property falls within Quadrant III of the City of Fort Lupton's Three Mile Plan. The Plan
identifies land use types for this area, including Rural residential, homesteads, dry agriculture, irrigated
agriculture, oil and gas facilities, gravel mining, water storage, commercial, and industrial uses. As
identified in the City of Fort Lupton Comprehensive Plan, land use types identified for this area include
Agricultural & Rural Residential, Commercial Transition, Light Industrial & Office, and Mineral Zone.
Scattered homesteads, commercial and industrial uses define the area. The proposed use is consistent
with the uses identified for this area. The subject property is also located within the Fort Lupton
Intergovernmental Agreement area.
The City of Brighton's Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use map identifies this property as
agricultural and open space, stating agricultural land uses are expected to remain in the County and are
primarily adjacent to ditches, open space, estate residential, and industrial land uses. The agricultural
landscape provides separation from adjacent municipalities. The primary uses are for crop production and
animal husbandry with secondary uses being low density residential housing on a farm or ranch agricultural
business facilities and public facilities. Applicant's may apply for oil and gas exploration, drilling and
production operations, including infrastructure and accessory equipment or structures within all zoning
USR21-0017 - Jeremy Martin

districts. Though not specifically stated in the City's Land Use and Development Code, the proposed
use would be an accessory use to the oil and gas development permitted within the zone district.
Weld County's Future Land Use Map identifies this area are outside of the Weld County Opportunity Zone,
yet within the Development classification area defined as Urban Non -Urban mix.
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 Geologic Hazard Overlay District, Agricultural Heritage Overlay District,
Airport Overlay District, Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) or a Special Flood Hazard Area.
Building Permits issued on the property will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County -Wide
Road Impact Fee Program, County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs.
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 proposal is located on approximately 6.44 acres Prime if Irrigated per the 2020 Natural Resource
Conservation Service Soil Survey. With the property having no irrigation rights and over three (3) acres in
road base, no prime agricultural land is affected by this proposal.
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.

30. 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 person 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.
31. 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.
USR21-0017 - Jeremy Martin
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.

On parcel(s) of land described as:
LOT A REC EXEMPT RE -4462; PART W2W2 SECTION 35, T1 N, R67W of the 6th P.M., Weld County,
Colorado.
Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on December 7, 2021 at
12:30 p.m. A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on January 5,
2022 at 10:00 a.m. Both hearings will be held in the Hearing Room, Weld County Administration
Building, 1150 O Street, Greeley, Colorado. The property owner and/or authorized agent must be in
attendance to answer any questions the Planning Commission members or Board of County
Commissioners may have.
Colorado Revised Statute, C.R.S.24-65.5-103 (adopted as part of H.B.01-1088) requires notification of
all mineral estate owners 30 days prior to any public hearing. The applicant needs to provide the
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://
