A Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Mineral
Resource Development Facility including Oil and Gas Support and Service.Location
and operation bases for businesses whose primary activity includes (outdoor storage
of pipes and office trailer) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
Lot B of RE -2744 being part of the NW4 of Section 20, T3N, R64W of the 6th P.M.,

The proposed project will be located on Lot B of Recorded Exemption RE -2744. 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 pipes associated with the oil and gas industry. 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 thirty (30) persons may visit the site daily to
pick up and drop off pipes. It is expected that there will be 1-3 semi -tractor trailer trips; 4-5 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.
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
USR18-0112
Page 2 of 9
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 two (2) residences within close proximity of the site. There is a house
located directly north of CR 32 and is approximately, 904 feet from the proposed operation.
The second closest residence is located approximately 940 feet to the east on CR 32. There
are two LCO's (Livestock Confinement Operations) within 0.5 mile to the east (MUSR13-0015
and USR 606). There are also several high-pressure natural gas lines in the area.
Nine (9) surrounding property owners received notice of the application and the County
received no letters of opposition.
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 or Airport Overlay District. The
site is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area and is designated in the "A" Approximate zone.
The applicant has submitted a Flood Hazard Development Permit (FHDP18-0102) to store
outside equipment in the floodplain. 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.
A small portion of the property is designated as "Prime (Irrigated) - Farmlands of National
Importance". However, the laydown yard is located entirely outside this designation so no prime
farm -ground will be lost.
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
USR18-0112
Page 3 of 9
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.

USR18-0112

27. 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.
USR18-0112

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.
