Commissioner Mike Freeman

Also present:

Assistant County Attorney, Bob Choate

Health Department representative, Lauren Light
The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated December 21, 2020, and duly published
December 23, 2020, in the Greeley Tribune, a public hearing was conducted to consider the
request of Andersen Properties, LLC, for a Change of Zone, COZ20-0008, from the
A (Agricultural) Zone District and the C-3 (Business Commercial) Zone District to the I-3 (Heavy
Industrial) Zone District. Bob Choate, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record.
IR Michael Hall, Department of Planning Services, presented a brief summary of the proposal
and explained the current split zoning appeared to stem from a lack of detail and proper surveying
when the area was rezoned in 1962, via Z-22. He provided the history of the site and stated, after
a discussion with the applicant in February 2020, the Department of Planning Services and the
Weld County Attorney's Office deemed a Change of Zone (COZ) was necessary to accommodate
new, proposed modifications to the existing rail loading facility. He mentioned notice was sent to
ten (10) surrounding property owners (SPO), no responses were received back, no one spoke at
the Planning Commission (PC) hearing and 14 referrals were sent out with nine (9) agencies
responding. He noted the site is located within the three (3) mile referral area of the City of
Greeley, is within the City of Greeley's Long Range Expected Growth Area, and stated the 2060
Greeley Future Land Use Guidance Map identifies the subject site as an Employment, Industrial,
and Commercial area, which supports the proposed COZ. He stated the site is located in the
Greeley/Weld County Airport Overlay District, provided the general location of site, and displayed
a zoning map showing surrounding zoning and uses. He indicated the COZ materials and the plat
voluntarily designate the area to the east of the railroad terminus, and along the Eaton Draw, as
a no development zone, in an attempt to buffer the residences to the east from the existing and
proposed uses. Mr. Hall entered the favorable recommendation of the PC into the record as
written and displayed images of the site and surrounding views. In response to
Commissioner James citing Weld County Code Section 23-2-40.6.4 (adequate access), Mr. Hall

explained access for the site is off of maintained County Road (CR) 39.5 and there is an executed
access easement beyond the point of the maintained portion of CR 39.5; therefore, the above
mentioned Code criteria has been met.
IR Melissa King, Department of Public Works, reiterated the information provided by Mr. Hall
regarding the access easement and stated the applicant needs to obtain an Access Permit for
the access location.
IR Lauren Light, Department of Public Health and Environment (EH), stated there is a permitted,
commercial, concrete vault, which provides sewer to the site, and indicated there is no water to
the site. She mentioned EH is requesting plat notes related to septic and dust during the
expansion of the site. In response to Commissioner James regarding Code Section 23-2-40.B.3
(adequate water and sewer to the site), Ms. Light explained EH policy allows for bottled water if
two (2) or less employees will be onsite or if employees will be onsite for less than two (2) hours.
• Dean Andersen and Sarah Willcutts with Andersen Properties, LLC, and Daniel Alonzo with
Lamp Rynearson introduced themselves. Mr. Andersen described the current operation, as well
as the proposed modifications, stated the expansion would provide additional convenience and
safety to the site and asserted the number of truck trips will not increase with the expansion.
e No public testimony was offered concerning this matter.
• The Board discussed the Conditions of Approval and made no changes.
Commissioner James moved to approve the request of Andersen Properties, LLC, for a
Change of Zone, COZ20-0008, from the A (Agricultural) Zone District and the C-3 (Business
Commercial) Zone District to the I-3 (Heavy Industrial) Zone District, based on the
recommendations of Planning staff and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of
Approval, as presented. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Freeman. In response to
Chair Moreno, Mr. Andersen indicated he had reviewed, and agreed to abide by, the Conditions
of Approval. There being no further discussion, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing
was completed at 10:16 a.m.
