ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
Planner: Angela Snyder Hearing Date: October 20, 2020
Case Number: USR20-0021
Owner: Glenn & Karen Miller, 12854 County Road 30, Platteville
Applicant: Andrew Hein, 17286 County Road 32, Platteville
Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review for a Commercial
Roping Arena in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
Legal The SW4 of Section 24, Township 3 North, Range 66 West of the 61h P.M., Weld
Description: County, Colorado
Location:
North of and adjacent to County Road 30 Section Line ROW, east of and adjacent to
County Road 35 Section Line ROW, approximately one-half mile sound of County
Road 32
Size of Parcel: ± 160 acres Parcel No. 1211-24-3-00-038
Case Summary:
The applicant, Andrew Hein, would like to use the existing, use -by -right cattle branding arena for seasonal
roping events between May 1 and October 31. The applicant would like to build a second arena next to the
existing arena. The arenas would both be open air and roughly 150 feet by 250 feet. The arena surface is
and will be a mixture of soil and sand surrounded by a four- or five -rail, steel pipe fence. The intent is to
provide financial stability to the cattle ranching operation.
Events would take place on weekends between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. The applicant expects one
hundred -fifty (150) attendees per day, including up to ten (10) staff members, and will limit events to two
hundred (200) people. The applicant proposes bottled water and portable toilets on event days. Food will
be provided by outside vendors (food trucks). The site is remote, with only five (5) residences within a half -
mile, including the applicant's and the property owner's homes. No screening is proposed or recommended.
One hundred (100) trucks pulling horse trailers are proposed to park "at will" in a designated pasture area
near the arena. The applicant will use a water truck to control dust on event days. As the parking is proposed
to be on grass, the applicant requests a waiver from the staff recommended parking improvement
requirements. Staff has required that the parking area be surfaced with gravel or crushed asphalt to
reduce soil erosion. The nearest paved road is 0.8 miles away
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.
USR20-0021 — Glenn & Karen Miller
Page 2
Section 23-2-20.A. A. Goal 1. Respect and encourage the continuation of agricultural land
uses and agricultural operations for purposes which enhance the economic health and
sustain ability of agriculture.
The request furthers Agriculture Goal 1, which encourages bolstering the economic health
of agricultural operations. The cattle roping events will aide in sustaining the cattle ranching
operation.
Section 22-3-70.A TR. Goal 1. Recognize the importance of cultural and heritage tourism
and recreation to local, regional and agricultural economies, including events and sites
such as corn mazes, County fairs, farm implement museums, etc. Encourage the provision
of adequate support services and facilities necessary for the continuation and expansion
of these activities, consistent with other goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The request satisfies Tourism Goal 1, which encourages bolstering the agricultural
economy through agriculture -related recreation, in this case, cattle roping.
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 states "...The A (Agricultural) Zone District is intended to provide areas
for the conduct of agricultural activities and activities related to agriculture and
agricultural production..." The request to hold cattle roping events at an existing cattle
ranch is directly related to and dependent upon agricultural operations.
Per Section 23-3-40.E, A commercial roping arena is permissible in the A (Agricultural)
Zone District with an approved Use by Special Review Permit.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
The adjacent lands consist of pastures, oil and gas activity, and scattered rural residences.
USR-1166 for a twenty -two-inch pipeline crosses the subject property, but not in the vicinity
of the arena. There are five (5) other USRs within a half -mile of the site. USR16-0020 for
storage and fabrication, USR-521 for an airport, MUSR13-0003 for an oil & gas support
facility, MUSR12-0004 for an oil and gas support and services facility, and 1MUSR18-12-
0074 for a natural gas pipeline and pump station.
Notice was sent to eight (8) surrounding property owners. The adjacent property owner to
the east sent in a response dated September 9, 2020, requesting that event traffic be not
allowed to use the oil and gas easement road located on his property and very near the
arena. The applicant proposed another access to the site for event traffic and will not allow
event traffic to use the access road on the Johnson property. One other surrounding
property owner responded with no concerns.
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
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. This
site in not in an area expected to develop at an urban scale. Therefore, the use of the
existing cattle ranch for cattle roping events is compatible with the expected future and
existing land uses in the area.
USR20-0021 — Glenn & Karen Miller

Staff requires that the parking area be improved in accordance with Section 23-4-30.C.,
which states, "Off-street parking spaces including access drives shall be surfaced with
gravel, asphalt, concrete or equivalent and shall be graded to prevent drainage problems.
Parking lot surfaces shall be consistent with the surrounding development..." Staff
recommends that the parking area be surfaced with gravel or crushed asphalt to reduce
soil erosion. The nearest paved road is 0.8 miles away, so no paving is required or
recommended.
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 Geologic Hazard Overlay District, a Special Flood Hazard
Area, MS4 Area or the Airport Overlay District. Building Permits issued on the lot will be
required to adhere to the fee structure of the County -Wide Road Impact Fee Program and
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 proposed facility is located on approximately 160 acres of "Other Land" per the 1979
Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. No prime irrigated
land is affected by this proposal.
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.
This recommendation is based, in part, upon a review of the application materials submitted by the
applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.

34. 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.
35. 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.
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.
USR20-0021 — Glenn & Karen Miller
Page 9
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.

Roping Arena in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
On parcel(s) of land described as:
SW4 SECTION 24, T3N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on October 20, 2020, at 12:30
p.m. A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on November 4, 2020
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
