options based on compatibility, proximity to municipalities, and

1.636 acres in area, with the average lot size being 0.791 acres in
area. All structures will meet offsets and setbacks from adjacent
property lines and road rights -of -way and will not adversely impact
the surrounding area.
B. Section 23-2-230.6.2 — The proposed use is consistent with the intent of
the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
1) Section 23-3-10 — Intent, 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." The
request meets the intent because it will not impact existing
agricultural uses and is in a residential area. The proposed building
coverage exceedance is permittable under Section 23-3-60.6 of the
Weld County Code as a Use by Special Review.
C. Section 23-2-230.B.3 — The uses which will be permitted will be compatible
with the existing surrounding land uses. The proposal is in the Sebold 2nd
Addition Subdivision. Many lots in this subdivision have similar oversized
buildings. The applicant submitted letters of support from seven (7)
surrounding property owners and the Department of Planning Services
sent notice to 25 surrounding property owners, with no responses received.
The Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will assist in
mitigating the impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties and ensure
compatibility with surrounding land uses and the region.
D. Section 23-2-230.6.4 — 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 and
Coordinated Planning Agreement (CPA) area of the City of Fort Lupton,
which did not return a referral response and indicated, on the undated
Notice of Inquiry (NOI), that the City of Fort Lupton is not interested in
annexing this property.
E. Section 23-2-230.6.5 — The application complies with Chapter 23,
Articles V and XI, of the Weld County Code. The property is located within

15. 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. Oftentimes, 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.
16. The Weld County Right to Farm Statement, as it appears in Section 22-2-30.A.4.a of the
Weld County Code, shall be placed on the map and recognized at all times.
