Case Summary:
The applicant is requesting a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for oil and
gas support and service facility (oilfield truck parking). The applicants live on site. The property is roughly
26 acres but only 0.75 acres will be utilized for the parking area. The parking area is located on the east
side of the property away from the residence. The applicant is proposing up to fourteen (14) parking spaces
for the vehicles and related equipment. The vehicles and equipment expected on site are semi tractor -
trailers, dump trucks, trailers, excavators, and loaders. Currently there are three (3) semi tractor -trailers,
two (2) dump trucks, three (3) side dump trucks and one (1) lowboy trailer on -site. The application materials
state there could be up to fourteen (14) employees in the future but currently there are only four (4)
employees. The hours of operation, in which trucks may leave and return to the site are from 5:00 a.m. -
8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday; truck parking will occur 24/7. Staff is recommending that the business
can start idling of trucks at 5:00 am and not prior. This has been included as a development standard.
The access to the residence and agricultural portion of the property is located on County Road 53, this is
also the only access with direct right-of-way frontage. The subject parking area of the property has access
off of County Road 70. The access to this parking area is through two (2) other properties. There is a
condition of approval in place to require an agreement signed by all owners of the property crossed by the
access. There is no screening proposed by the applicant for the parking area due to the presence of natural
screening already in place for the property to the north and south. The parking area is not easily visible
from public rights of way, but can still be seen from County Road 70, therefore staff is still requiring a form
of screening for the properties to the east and from County Road 70 to the north. This has been added as
a condition of approval. The screening plan can be included with the existing USR map.
This site does have an active Zoning Violation (ZCV21-00168). This violation was initiated due to the
presence of Commercial Vehicle parking associated with Oil & Gas Support & Services operations without
first completing the necessary Weld County Use by Special Review Permits. This case has been forwarded
to the County Attorney's Office.
Approval of this application by the Board of County Commissioners would correct the zoning violation;
however, the zoning violation case (ZCV20-00168), cannot be dismissed until the Conditions of Approval
have been completed and the final map has been recorded. The current court case (21-C-31834) has been
dismissed by the County Attorney's office while the Use by Special Review permit is in process.
If this application is denied, the Department of Planning Services asks that the Board refer this case to the
County Attorney's Office for legal action, but to delay legal action for 30 (thirty) days to remove the
Commercial Vehicles and operations from the property.
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 22-2-30.A.1. — Commit to the Economic future of agriculture. States, "Land use
changes should not inhibit agricultural production nor operations."
The subject property is also utilized for residential and agricultural purposes. Based on the
location and size of the parking area the large portion of the property will still be utilized for
productive agricultural use. The Eaton Ditch is the physical division between the two uses;
therefore, it is not likely the trucking operation will expand into agricultural portion of the
USR21-0015, Ditter, Page 2 of 10
property. Also, the size and location of the parking area is not a feasible location for
agricultural purposes and is currently not being used for agricultural purposes.
Section 22-2-60.B.3. — Support responsible energy and mineral development. States,
"Require that energy and mineral resource development conserve the land and minimize
the impact on surrounding land and the existing surrounding land uses."
Based on the application materials it appears that the propose use is benefiting the oil and
gas industry post development and with the limited size and location of the parking area it
is not eliminating any agricultural lands and preserving what is currently in use now.
Section 22-2-30.C. — States "Harmonize development with surrounding land uses."
The proposed use is currently screened with established trees and due to the location of
parking area from the public rights of way it makes it not easily visible from the roadway.
Planning staff has not received any surrounding property owner concerns but is still
requiring an access easement to ensure adequate access and maintenance of the private
roadway that the truck parking utilizes and
The proposed use is in an area that can support this development and the existing and
future screening, the Development Standards, and the Conditions of Approval will assist in
mitigating the impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties and ensure compatibility
with surrounding land uses.
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, "The A (Agricultural) Zone
District is also intended to provide areas for the conduct of Uses by Special Review which
have been determined to be more intense or to have a potentially greater impact than Uses
Allowed by Right." This code section allows the applicant to apply for a USR (Use by
Special Review) Permit.
Section 23-3-40.V.-- Uses by special review, of the Weld County Code allows for a "Oil and
Gas Support and Service" in Lots outside of a subdivision and historic townsite in the (A)
Agricultural Zone District. This code section allows the applicant to apply for the oil and gas
truck parking and related equipment.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
There are eight (8) USRs within one mile of the site. To the west of the subject property
there is one (1) sheep feed lot, USR-682 and one (1) mineral resource development facility,
USR12-0027. To the north of the subject property there is one (1) central gas treating
facility; SUP -287. To the east of the subject property there is (1) roping arena and second
single family home; USR-139 and one (1) dairy; AMUSR-820. To the south of the subject
property there is one (1) parking and storage for a septic business; USR18-0010 and one
(1) water tank; USR-578.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services sent notice to twelve (12) 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
USR21-0015, Ditter, Page 3 of 10
applicable code provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of affected
municipalities.
The site is not located within a three (3) mile referral area of any municipality, nor is it
located within any existing Intergovernmental Agreement Area (IGA) of a municipality.
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 or the
Historic Townsite Overlay District.
Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the
County -Wide Road Impact Fee, County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs.
Building Permits issued on the proposed lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure
of the County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs.
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 twenty-six (26) acres in size. The 0.75 acres of property that
will be utilized east of the Eaton Ditch indicated thedalund loam soils were encountered
per the Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey dated June 1, 2021.
Additionally, due to the size of the area that is being utilized for the use no farmland will be
removed 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.

33. 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.
34. 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.
USR21-0015, Ditter, Page 9 of 10
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.

Subject: USR21-0015 - A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for oil
and gas support and service (truck parking) outside of subdivisions and historic townsites in the A
(Agricultural) Zoned District.
On parcel(s) of land described as:
LOT 2 RE -32; BEING PART OF THE NW4 OF SECTION 16 T6N, T64W of the 6th P.M., Weld County,
Colorado.
Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on November 02, 2021 at
12:30 p.m. A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on
November 17, 2021 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://accela-
