DEVELOPERS OF AGRICULTURE
WELD COUNTY CHANGE OF ZONE (COZ) QUESTIONNAIRE
Prepared for R.H. Amen Farms, LLC
Planning Questionnaire:
1. Describe the purpose of the proposed Change of Zone.
The subject property is an approximately 145 -acre tract located adjacent to the Union Pacific
Railroad and Weld County Road (WCR) 56, approximately one mile south of U.S. Highway 34.
The property is presently zoned Agricultural (A) and is proposed to be zoned Heavy Industrial
(1-3). Since the adoption of Weld County Code Ordinance 2019-02, commercial and industrial
uses not related to agriculture or oil and gas are no longer allowed in the A zone. As a result,
there is a need for properties in the county that are appropriately zoned for commercial and
industrial development. The site's proximity to existing 1-3 zoned lands, railroads, a transloading
facility, asphalt and concrete batch plant, and U.S. Highway 34 make the property suitable for I-
3 uses.
2. Describe the current and previous use of the land.
The property is currently vacant and has historically been used for irrigated agriculture.
3. Describe the proximity of the proposed use to residences.
The closest single-family residences to the subject property are four single-family residences also
owned by R.H. Amen Farms, LLC. They are located on Weld County Road (WCR) 15 and are
separated from the proposed industrial area by approximately 36 acres of agricultural land. There
is a neighboring single-family residence owned by Cheryl Friede located at the northwest corner
of WCR 56 and WCR 15. There is another neighboring single-family residence owned by Janet
Ross located on WCR 56 approximately 900 feet west of the subject.
4. Explain how the proposed rezoning will correct what the applicant perceives as faulty
zoning, or how the proposed rezoning will fit with what the applicant perceives as the
changing conditions in the area.

Page 2 of 7
There are several changed conditions in the vicinity of the subject property that support the
proposed rezoning. The U.S. Highway 34 corridor, approximately one mile north of the subject
property, is developed with a broad mix of commercial and industrial land uses. The area located
within the Town of Johnstown just south of U.S. Highway 34 contains several industrial uses,
including an industrial bakery, warehousing and distribution company, machine shop, recycling
facilities, and other large-scale industrial uses. Several industrial uses have developed around the
Weld County Road (WCR) 13/Union Pacific Railroad crossing, including an excavating
company, a pet crematorium, and auto repair shop.
The property directly north of the site is owned by Gerrard Investments, LLC and is used as a
rail yard and aggregate transloading facility, as well as an asphalt and concrete batch plant.
Other land uses in the area include A Concrete, Inc. permitted under U R16-0010, W3 Legacy,
LLC, a trucking and construction business permitted under UR1 -0040, Waste -Not Recycling,
Slager Trucking Company, and Rocky Mountain Hoist and Equipment. Recent improvements to
U.S. Highway 34 and WCR 13 support further industrial development in the area, Zoning
designations for both the Town of Windsor and the Town of Johnstown provide for future
industrial and commercial development to be located west and north of the subject property.
5. Explain how the uses allowed by the proposed rezoning wilt be compatible with the
surrounding land uses. Include a description of existing land uses for all properties
adjacent to the subject property.
There is a construction business, permitted under U R 15 -0075, that is located northwest of the
subject property. A conference center and event venue, permitted under U R 15-002 8, is located
directly north of the subject property. Other land uses in the vicinity include A Concrete, Inc.
permitted under U R 16-0010, W3 Legacy LLC, a trucking and construction business permitted
under U R 15 -0040, Waste -Not Recycling, Slager Trucking Company, Rocky Mountain Hoist
and Equipment, and an aggregate transloading facility with an asphalt and concrete batch plant.
The surrounding area is seeing more commercial and industrial uses because of its proximity to a
major transportation corridor and the demand for commercial and industrial land. The proposed
zone is compatible with existing and future land uses.
6. Does the soil report indicate the existence of moderate or severe soil limitations? If so,
detail the methods to be employed to mitigate the limitations for the uses proposed.
The soil report indicates moderate soil limitations for construction. The soil report is included in
the application materials. Engineering for structures will account for any soil limitations as
demonstrated by continued development in the area.
Page 3 of 7
7. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan per
Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code.
This proposed change of zone is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The
change of zone achieves several of the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, as
follows:
Section 22-4-10 — Comprehensive Plan Map
A. i. Areas of opportunity for commercial and industrial development These are potentially
logical areas for rezoning land to C (Commercial), I (Industrial), and Planned Unit
Development (P D) containing C and I uses based on transportation infrastructure of roads and
railroads. The map is intended to encourage rezoning in appropriate areas.
Section 22-4-10 — Co p reh ensue Plan Map
B. Weld County Zones. If in compliance with the other provisions in this Section, zone changes to
C (Commercial), I (Industrial), and Planned Unit Development (PUD) containing C and I uses
are preferred in the following locations:
I. Within one mile of interstates.
2. Within one-half 'mile of US. highways.
3. Within one-half mile of the County Highway (Weld County Road 49 between 1-76 and
State Highway 392),
4. Within one -quarter mile of railroads.
5. Within in one-half 'mile of the following types of intersections:
a. Coliector/arterial,
b. Arterial/arterial,
c. Collector/highway, and
d. Arterial/highway.
The subject property is located approximately 5,900 feet south of U.S. Highway 34 and adjacent
to the Union Pacific Railroad and Great Western Railroad.
Section 22-2-30 — Land use goals and objectives.
C. Harmonize development with surrounding land uses.
3. Encourage development that preserves land for agriculture, rangeland, wetlands, and
critical habitats.
Section 22-2-40 — Economic development goals and objectives.
Page 4 of 7
A. Support compatible economic development opportunities.
I. Identfb, target areas where the County is able to encourage shovel -ready commercial
and industrial development.
2. Innovate, develop, and capitalize on the necessary tools and funding mechanisms to
incentivize economic development.
According to the Comprehensive Plan Map, the subject property is located within an opportunity
zone due to its proximity to transportation infrastructure, including U.S. Highway 34 and the
Union Pacific Railroad. The Comprehensive Plan encourages rezoning to Commercial (C) or
Industrial (I) uses in opportunity zones.
8 Explain how this proposal will be compatible with future development of the
surrounding area or adopted master plans of affected municipalities.
The subject property is outside of the areas depicted on land use guidance maps in the Imagine
Greeley Comprehensive Plan and the Town of Windsor Comprehensive Plan. The property is
also located outside of the Cooperative Land Use Annexation and Utility Areas delineated in the
Intergovernmental Agreement (IAA) between the City of Greeley and Town of Windsor.
The IGA does provide guidance for development of the U.S. Highway 34 corridor north of the
subject property, designating this area for future commercial and light industrial uses.
Therefore, a change of zone from Agricultural to Heavy Industrial is compatible with these
municipalities' future planning guidance documents. In addition, there are two neighboring
parcels north and northwest of the subject property that were zoned Heavy Industrial in 2020 and
2021. The proposed change of zone is compatible with current and expected future development
in the surrounding area.
9. Explain how this proposal impacts the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County.
If the change of zone to Heavy Industrial is approved, any commercial or industrial use of the
property will be required to gain approval through either the Site Plan Review (P) or Use by
Special Review (USR) permitting process to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the
neighborhood is protected. This request is for a change of zone and is not a request for approval
of a specific industrial use. While the specific impacts to the health, safety, and welfare of the
neighborhood are unknown at this time, the property owner has created an agricultural buffer
between the subject property and existing residences to the east in an effort to mitigate any future
impacts of the zone change to the surrounding neighborhood.
Page 5 of 7
10. Explain how this proposal complies with Article V and Article XI of Chapter 23 if the
proposal is located within any Overlay Zoning District (Airport, Geologic Hazard, or
Historic Townsites Overlay Districts) or a Special Flood Hazard Area identified by maps
officially adopted by the County.
The subject property is not located within any Overlay Zoning District addressed in Article
and Article XI of Chapter 23.
Environmental Health Questionnaire:
1. Discuss the existing and proposed potable water source. If utilizing a drinking water
well, include either the well permit or well permit application that was submitted to the
State Division of Water Resources. If utilizing a public water tap, include a will serve letter
from the Water District, a tap or meter number, or a copy of the water bill.
Little Thompson Water District (LTWD) is proposed to provide potable water to the subject
property. A will serve letter from the district is included with this application.
2. Discuss the existing and proposed sewage disposal system is on the property. If utilizing
an existing on -site wastewater treatment system (OWTS), provide the OWTS permit
number. If there is no permit due to the age of the existing system, apply for a permit
through the Department of Public Health and Environment prior to submitting this
application. If a new OWTS system will be installed, please state "a new on -site wastewater
treatment system is proposed." Only propose portable toilets if the use is consistent with
the Department of Public Health and Environment's portable toilet policy.
The subject property is currently vacant. If, in the future, new buildings are proposed, septic
system(s) will be designed, constructed, and permitted according to applicable state and county
regulations.
Public Works Ouestionnaire:
1. Describe the access location and applicable use types (i.e., agricultural, residential,
commercial/industrial, and/or oil and gas) of all existing and proposed accesses to the
parcel. Include the approximate distance each access is (or will be proposed) from an
intersecting county road. State that no existing access is present or that no new access is
proposed, if applicable.
Page 6 of 7
The existing access point, permitted under AF15-00293, is approximately 1,880 feet southwest
from the intersection of Weld County Road (WCR) 56 and WCR 15. Two adjacent parcels, 6644
and 6648 WCR 56, share this access by way of an access easement recorded under reception no.
2210645. This access is permitted to serve the commercial uses on these two parcels and the
existing agricultural uses on the subject property. The portion of the subject property located
between the Union Pacific Railroad and the Great Western Railroad, also known as Lot B RE -
1247, is served by an agricultural field access on WCR 15 approximately 1,375 ft. north of WCR
54. The southernmost portion of the subject property located south of the Great Western Railroad
is served by an existing agricultural field access on WCR 15 approximately 1,260 ft. north of
WCR54.
2. Describe any anticipated change(s) to an existing access, if applicable.
The existing accesses will remain with no anticipated changes.
3. Describe in detail any existing or proposed access gate including its location.
There is no existing or proposed access gate for the property.
4. Describe the location of all existing accesses on adjacent parcels and on parcels located
on the opposite side of the road. Include the approximate distance each access is from an
intersecting county road.
There are four existing accesses serving neighboring parcels on the north side of Weld County
Road (WCR) 56. These are located approximately 850 ft., 1,000 if, 2,700 ft,, and 3,100 ft. west
of WCR 15, respectively. The adjacent parcels directly south of the subjectproperty,6644 and
6648 WCR 56, share an access with the subject property by way of an easement recorded under
reception no. 2210645. R.H. Amen Farms, LLC owns the adjacent parcels directly east of the
subject property, also known as Lots A and B of l CX2O-0158 and SUB 2O-0015 .
The accesses serving these parcels are located on WCR 15 approximately1,320. ft1 470 ft.
��
1,600 ft., 2,250 ft., 2,400 ft., and 2,580 ft. south of WCR 56.
5. Describe any difficulties seeing oncoming traffic from an existing access and any
anticipated difficulties seeing oncoming traffic from a proposed access.
Based on the location of the site access, no difficulties are anticipated seeing oncoming traffic
from the existing access. There are no new accesses proposed.
6. Describe any horizontal curve (using terms like mild curve, sharp curve, reverse curve,
etc.) in the vicinity of an existing or proposed access,
Page 7 of 7
The existing access, permitted under AP15-00293, is located approximately one mile south of
U.S. Highway 34 and approximately 1,880 feet southwest of Weld County Road (WCR) 15. The
access is on the south side of WCR 56 adjacent to the southern curve of the Koenig Reservoir.
Approximately 530 feet west of the intersection ofWCR 15 and WCR 56, there is a mild curve
that turns southwest on WCR 56. WCR 56 continues west following the curve created by the
southern edge of the Koenig Reservoir. The curve in WCR 56 straightens at a point
approximately 2,900 ft. east of WCR 13, continuing west along the north line of Section 19.
There are no new accesses proposed.
7. Describe the topography (using terms like flat, slight hills, etc.) of the road in the vicinity
of an existing or proposed access.
The access location is on Weld County Road (WCR) 56, a local gravel roadway. The topography
near the entrance is relatively flat. There are no new accesses proposed.

Ms, Rowland:
Soilogic, Inc. (Soilogic) personnel have completed the geologic evaluation you requested
for the above referenced parcel. Our evaluation was completed through review of mapped
and published information concerning site soil and groundwater conditions. A list of the
references reviewed is included with this report.
The subject parcel includes a total of approximately 154 acres located in a portion of the
East 1/2 of Section 19, Township 5 North, Range 67 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, west
of County Road 15 and south of County Road 56 near Johnstown, in unincorporated Weld
County, Colorado, We understand the site may be rezoned from agricultural to industrial.
The referenced parcel is split into three (3) sections, consisting of a northern portion, a
southern portion and an eastern portion. We understand a proposed Recorded Exemption
will be created and includes the eastern portion and a part of the northern portion (on the
east side adjacent to County Road 15). This proposed Recorded Exemption will remain
part of an agricultural zone and no longer be a part of the subject parcel. We anticipate
wastewater generated by any commercial/industrial buildings will be disposed of through
on -site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS)I
Based on aerial photography, a majority of the site appears to be used for agricultural
purposes. The site slopes downward to the southwest with the maximum difference in
ground surface elevation across the parcel estimated to be on the order of approximately
135 feet based on our review of available United States Geological Survey (USGS)

topographical maps of the area. A portion of the Koenig Reservoir is present within the
northern portion of the referenced parcel. The Big Thompson River and Hill and Brush
Ditch intersect the southwestern portion of the property. The Union Pacific railroad divides
the northern/eastern and southern portions of the subject property with a northwest to
southeast alignment through the combined property. The Great Western railroad intersects
the southern portion of the referenced parcel with a northwest to southeast alignment.
The included soil type delineation diagram outlines those soil groupings identified at the
site by Weld County Soil Conservation Service (SC) maps. SCS descriptions of those soil
types are included with this report. The majority of the near -surface soils at this site
(approximately 88 percent) consist of low to moderate plasticity loam, silty loam and clay
loam from the Nunn Clay Loam, Colby Loam, Kim Loam series and Wiley -Colby
complex. The remaining portion of the site (approximately 12 percent) was identified as
Aquolls, Aquents and water. The near -surface site soils appear to consist of Pleistocene -
aged alluvium, calcareous col ian deposits and/or eolian deposits derived from sedimentary
rock, according to SCS maps. Geologic maps of the area indicate the overburden soils are
underlain by the Pierre Shale bedrock formation from the Upper Cretaceous period,
Mapped information indicates a southwestern portion of the property is in an area identified
as being flood -prone due to the proximity to the Big Thompson River and Hill and Brush
Ditch and would be expected to have groundwater at depths less than 5 feet below ground
surface. The majority of the property would be expected to have groundwater at depths
more than 5 feet below ground surface. According to SCS data, the depth to bedrock would
be expected to be greater than 6 feet.
Based on our review of the site as outlined above, we expect the near -surface soils could
be used for support of lightly to moderately -loaded structures. Although not anticipated,
deep foundation systems could be employed for heavy foundation loads or if moderately
to highly expansive soils and/or bedrock are encountered within close proximity to
proposed foundation bearing elevations. Deep foundation systems could be employed if
heavy foundation loads are anticipated or if moderately to highly expansive soils and/or
bedrock are encountered within close proximity to proposed foundation bearing elevations.
While site groundwater levels are not anticipated to significantly impact the proposed

construction, care will be needed to establish finish floor slab levels above seasonal high
groundwater.
The subject property is located near a field identified as having the potential for
economically -recoverable oil and gas resources. Multiple active wells tapping the
referenced field exist adjacent to the referenced parcel, within approximately one mile to
the west and northern directions. We expect the existing active well sites could be utilized
to extract oil and gas resources that may exist beneath the subject property through
directional drilling procedures such that development of the subject parcel would not
impede recovery.
Based on our review of published maps, the subject parcel did not fall within those areas
identified as having economically -recoverable gravel or metallic mineral resources and we
did not identify other potential geologic hazards as outlined in K B . 1041.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. If we can be of further
service to you in any way or if you have any questions concerning the enclosed information,
please do not hesitate to contact us,
Very Truly Yours,

MAP INFORMATION
The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at
1:24,000.
Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

Traffic Impact Statement
Prepared for R.H. Amen Farms, LLC
The subject property is located south of Weld County Road (WCR) 56, classified as a local
gravel road, and west of WCR 15, classified as a local paved road. The northernmost parcel
included in this Change of Zone request has an existing access onto WCR 56 located
approximately 1,880 feet southwest of the intersection of WCR 56 and WCR 15. Two adjacent
parcels, 6644 and 6648 WCR 56, share this access by way of an access easement recorded under
reception no. 2210645. This access is currently permitted to serve the existing commercial and
industrial uses on these two parcels. The southern two parcels included in this Change of Zone
request have existing agricultural accesses onto WCR 15. These accesses meet the minimum
spacing criteria for the road classification.
WCR 56, running along the north side of the subject property, has direct access to WCR 15 and
WCR 13, or Colorado Boulevard. Colorado Blvd. is classified as a paved arterial. Both WCR 15
and Colorado Blvd. have direct access to U.S. Highway 34, a major transportation corridor
approximately one mile north of the subject property. Recent improvements to the intersection of
Colorado Blvd. and U.S. Highway 34 include a northbound right -turn acceleration lane, a traffic
signal, upgraded paving, and railroad signals on WCR 13 and along the Great Western Rail
crossing on Highway 34.
As the property is currently vacant, traffic volumes will be determined at the time of
development. Because the property's access on WCR 56 is already approved for commercial and
industrial uses, and because of the improvements made to the intersection of U.S. Highway 34
and Colorado Blvd., the surrounding roads are adequate for use as haul and travel routes for
future industrial uses of the property.
