The applicant has complied with all the application requirements listed in Section 23-2-50 of the Weld County Code. 2. The request is in conformance with Section 23-2-40.B of the Weld County Code as follows: A. Section 23-2-40.B.1 — The proposal is consistent with Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code. 1) 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 property is adjacent to State Highway 14 and County Road 77, an arterial status road, and near the Townsite of Briggsdale.

Historic use included a farm supply business permitted under USR-656, with current uses including the Briggsdale Gas and Go convenience store, fuel station and oil and propane sales. Water service is obtained from the Briggsdale Water Company. B. Section 23-2-40.B.2 — The Uses which will be allowed on the subject property by granting the Change of Zone will be compatible with the surrounding land uses. The Department of Planning Services sent out four (4) notices to surrounding property owners and have received no letters in opposition to the Change of Zone request. The property is not within the Airport Overlay District. The proposed Change of Zone does not obstruct the airspace, nor is otherwise hazardous to, the flight of aircraft in landing or taking off at the airport. There are six (6) residences within 0.5 miles of the immediate area, one (1) immediately to the north, and five (5) located to the west, east of County Road 77. The Briggsdale Townsite is approximately 0.5 miles to the south of State Highway 14. C. Section 23-2-40.6.3 — Adequate water and sewer service can be made available to the site to serve the uses permitted within the proposed zone district. The Briggsdale Water Company will be the water provider for the property. An On -site Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) will provide sewer services for development of the property. D. Section 23-2-40.6.4 - Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zone district. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has jurisdiction over all accesses to State Highways. This agency returned a referral response dated September 12, 2020, indicating that an upgrade to the current Access Permit was not warranted for this application. E. Section 23-2-40.6.5 — In those instances where the following characteristics are applicable to the rezoning request, the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the applicable standards: 1) Section 23-2-40.B.5.a — According to the "Geologic Hazard Area Map of Potential Ground Subsidence Areas in Weld County, Colorado" dated May 10, 1978, the site is not in a geologic hazard area. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), the property is unmapped, and the Change of Zone area does not lie within a Flood Zone area. 2) Section 23-2-40.B.5.b — The Weld County Sand, Gravel Resources map, based on information obtained from Colorado Geological Survey Special Publication 5-A, 1974, defines the Landform Units as unevaluated. Given the size of the parcel and the current 2020-3089 PL2767 CHANGE OF ZONE (COZ20-0006) - BRIGGSDALE GAS AND GO, INC., AND LASALLE RENTAL PROPERTY ONE, LLC PAGE 3 infrastructure on the property, the economic viability of a mineral extraction appears to be non -viable. 3) Section 23-2-40.B.5.c — Research conducted by the applicant based on Natural Resources Conservation Service soil reports indicate that the fine, sandy, loam soils have limitations for septic tank absorption fields due to slow water movement. There are no limitations for small commercial buildings and residential construction. All permanent structures planned on the site, in the future, will submit an engineered design for the structure to ensure that its foundation is appropriate for the soils found where it is constructed.
