Location and operation bases for businesses whose primary activity includes (outdoor storage of pipes, equipment, and other materials used by the oil and gas industry) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District Lot A of RECX18-0136 being part of the SE4 of Section 28, T4N, R64W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO North of and adjacent to CR 40 and approximately 0.25 mile west of CR 55 +1- 7.3 acres Parcel No. 1053-28-4-00-004 The proposed project will be located on Lot A of Recorded Exemption RECX18-0136, which will need to be recorded prior to this USR. The facility will operate from 6:00am to 5:00pm Monday -Friday. The applicant is requesting flexibility to operate outside these hours should an emergency require the site to operate outside of normal hours. The site will be used primarily for permanent outdoor storage of oil and gas pipes and miscellaneous equipment. The site will accommodate an office trailer for personnel and will have four (4) parking spaces. The application materials state that there will be up to two (2) employees working onsite. However, up to fifty (50) persons may visit the site daily to pick up and drop off equipment and pipes. It is expected that there will be 5-10 semi -tractor trailer trips; 5-10 truck trips; and, 1-2 personal vehicle trips generated per day. No screening or landscaping is proposed per the application materials and due to the location of the site staff is not recommending any screening or landscaping. 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. USR18-0110 Page 2 of 10 Section 22-6-20. C.1. - ECON. Policy 3.1. states "County activities and regulation should protect the rights of private property owners and the public health, safety and welfare, recognizing that these basic rights and protections allow the free market to prosper and grow the local economy." This proposal has been reviewed by the appropriate referral agencies and it has been determined that the attached Conditions of Approval and Development Standards ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and county. B. Section 23-2-220.A.2. -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District Section 23-3-40.A.2 of the Weld County Code provides for Mineral Resource Development Facilities, Oil and Gas Support and Service including storage facilities in the Agricultural Zoning District. Oil and gas production facilities are predominately located in the Ag Zone so it's logical for many oil and gas support services to be located near these operations. 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, low density residential and existing oil and gas facilities. There are five (5) residences within 2,000 feet of the proposed operation with the closest residence located approximately 1,494 feet southwest of the operation on CR 40. The nearest USR is located directly to the east at the intersection of CR 40 and CR 55 for an oil and gas production facility (AMUSR-991). There are also two (2) ten (10) inch or greater high- pressure gas lines operated by DCP that run parallel to CR 40 (USR12-0006). The Weld County Department of Planning Services sent out twenty-six (26) notices to surrounding property owners and received one (1) letter of opposition objecting to this USR. The letter was received November 1, 2018. The objections deal with diminished property values, damage to CR 40 and unsightly junk. 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 three (3) miles of any 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 Geologic Hazard Overlay District, Airport Overlay District, MS4 area or a Special Flood Hazard Area. Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County -Wide Road Impact Fee Program. 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 proposed facility is designated as "other" on the important farmlands of Weld County map. The Greeley Conservation District did not respond to the referral. The lot is small (7.3 acres) and is not suitable for productive farming. 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. USR18-0110 Page 3 of 10 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. The applicant will be required to enter into a Weld County Improvements Agreement to address required off -site improvements and haul and traffic routes to and from the facility, at a minimum. 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. The Department of Planning Services' staff recommendation for approval is conditional upon the following: 1. Prior to recording the map: A. An Improvements Agreement for road maintenance and future improvement triggers.

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. 28. 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. 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. USR18-0110 Page 9 of 10 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, sand burs, 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.
