RESOLUTION OF RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER
Moved by Tom Cope, that the following resolution be introduced for passage by the Weld County Planning
Commission. Be it resolved by the Weld County Planning Commission that the application for:
CASE NUMBER: USR19-0069
APPLICANT: TROY ANDERSEN
PLANNER: DIANA AUNGST
REQUEST: A SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW
PERMIT FOR A KENNEL (UP TO 120 DOGS SIX (6) MONTHS OF AGE OR
OLDER TO INCLUDE DOG DAYCARE AND BOARDING) IN THE A
(AGRICULTURAL) ZONE DISTRICT.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: SUB EXEMPT SUBX18-0021 , PART N2 SECTION 10, T2N, R67W OF THE 6TH
P.M. , WELD COUNTY, COLORADO.
LOCATION: APPROXIMATELY 0. 10 MILES SOUTH OF CR 24 AND EAST OF AND
ADJACENT TO CR 19.
be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners 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 Planning Commission 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- 10. G. 2 - A. Policy 7. 2. states "Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban
residential, commercial and industrial uses should be accommodated when the subject site is in
an area that can support such development, and should attempt to be compatible with the
region. "
The proposed use is in an area that is remote with limited residences in the adjacent to the site.
The application materials include a Noise Abatement Plan that has been approved by the
Department of Public Health and Environment. This USR is in an area that can support this
development and 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 and the region.
Section 22-2- 100.A - C. Goal. 1 states "Promote the location of commercial uses within
municipalities, County Urban Growth Boundary areas, Intergovernmental Agreement urban
growth areas, growth management areas as defined in municipal comprehensive plans, the
Regional Urbanization Areas, Urban Development Nodes or where adequate services are
currently available or reasonably obtainable. "
The site is located within the Firestone and Fort Lupton Cooperation Planning Area (CPA). The
2013 Firestone Comprehensive Plan includes this area in the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB)
which defines the Firestone Master Plan Area (MPA). The UGB and MPA outline the area of
potential annexation. Firestone's Land Use Map shows this as a "Mixed-Use" area, that is, an
area that provides for a "potential mix of all land uses, except for very low-density single family
residential."
Even though the current 2018 Fort Lupton Comprehensive Plan shows the site on the far
western edge of the land use map Fort Lupton has annexed County Road 24 up to County Road
19. The County Road 24 and 19 intersection is just north of the site. The Fort Lupton Land Use
Map shows this area as Agricultural and Rural Residential.
Section 22-2-20.H - A. Goal 8. states, "Ensure that adequate services and facilities are currently
available or reasonably obtainable to accommodate the requested new land use change for
more intensive development. "

The site is served by Central Weld County Water District and the applicant is proposing a
commercial septic system. The applicant will also need to comply with the requirements of the
Platteville-Gilcrest Fire Protection District, as stated in the referral dated December 17, 2019.
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 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 Use by Special Review permit for the subject business which is more
intense than Uses Allowed by Right.
Section 23-3-40.N.—Uses by special review,of the Weld County Code states,"Kennels,subject
to the additional requirements of Section 23-4-400." This code section allows the applicant to
apply for a USR for a kennel in the agricultural zone district.
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, crops, and an abandoned turkey farm. There are two
residences approximately 500-feet north/northeast of the site.
There are five(5)USRs within one mile of this site. USR-1063 fora 24-inch gas line is east of the
site. USR-1310 for an equine center is located northeast of the site. USR-1070 for an agricultural
irrigation business is located northwest of the site.Amended USR-1120 for an equestrian center
and MUSR13-0017 for a mineral resource development facility is located southwest of the site.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services sent notice to six (6) surrounding property
owners within 500 feet of the proposed USR boundary. No responses were received. No other
correspondence or phone calls were received.
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 located within a three(3)mile referral area of the City of Fort Lupton and the Town of
Firestone. The City of Fort Lupton's referral agency comment dated December 16,2019, state
from the Public Works Director, "County Road 19, if City, is an Arterial Road in our City
Transportation Plan and would have a right-of-way of 110-feet. This would only require
dedication of additional 25-feet vs the 40-feet shown." County Road 19 is not annexed into the
City of Fort Lupton at this location so the future right-of-way will need to comply with the County's
requirements.The comments from the City of Fort Lupton's Planning Director state,"We met with
the applicant concerning the option of annexation. We request the applicant contact us if they
wish to pursue annexation in the future." The Town of Firestone's referral agency comments
dated December 30, 2019 stated no concerns.
The site is also located within the Cooperative Planning Area for the City of Fort Lupton and the
Town of Firestone. As part of the pre-application process, both municipalities were notified of the
proposal by Planning staff and were provided Notice of Inquiry forms by the applicant.The City of
Fort Lupton returned a Notice of Inquiry form dated May 16,2019 which stated,"Fort Lupton met
with the property owners concerning the option of annexation May 16, 2019. Fort Lupton is
interested in annexing the property."The Town of Firestone returned a Notice of Inquiry form that
stated that they are not interested in annexation of the property.

35. 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.
36. 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
RESOLUTION USR19-0069
TROY ANDERSEN
PAGE 9
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.
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.
