Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts (landscape business, including the storage of
equipment and commercial vehicles) provided that the property is not a lot in an

Legal Lot A of Recorded Exemption RECX16-0186; being a part of the NW4 of Section 21,
Description: Township 1, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado
Location: South of and adjacent to County Road 8; approximately 400 feet east of County Road
17
Size of Parcel: +1- 2.5 acres Parcel No. 1469-21-2-00-015
Case Summary:
The applicant is requesting a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a
landscape business, including the storage of equipment and commercial vehicles on an approximately 2.5
acre parcel of land. No washing or maintenance is proposed and waste materials, chemicals and fuel will
not be stored on site in regards to the business. The hours of operation will be Monday though Friday 8:00
am to 5:00 pm. The property owners will be the only two (2) employees on site. Snow removal equipment
and eight (8) vehicles will be stored on site during the growing season, April 1st through October 31st. Lawn
maintenance equipment and seven (7) vehicles will be stored during the winter months, November 1st
through March 31st.
The property has an existing residence and garage for the business owners and their family. The applicants
are also proposing a 1,000 sq ft shop and 1,600 sq ft open-air machine shed. The shop will have an office
inside that will be used for the business, the rest of the space will be used for personal items and the open-
air machine shed will store two (2) Ford Super Duty pickup trucks and six (6) Chevy pickup trucks in the
growing season (April through October) and three (3) Ford Super Duty pickup trucks and four (4) Chevy
pickup trucks in the winter months (November through March) and for the business. Screening from
residential areas on the east and west is recommended by staff to mitigate visual impacts.
The site is currently in violation (ZCV18-00140) of Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code for not having the
necessary land use permits before operating a commercial business. This case has not been forwarded to
the County Attorney's Office; therefore, an investigation fee is not required. Approval of this application by
the Board of County Commissioners would correct the outstanding violation. If this application is denied,
the Department of Planning Services asks that the Board forward this case to the County Attorney's Office
for legal action, but to delay legal action for 30 (thirty) days to allow the applicant time to cease use of the
business and remove any related equipment.

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 22-2-20.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 subject site is in an area where there are a number of special uses that are considered
a more intense use for the Agricultural Zone District. The property contains a residence
which is congruent with surrounding properties. Productive agricultural activities are not
readily supported in this area because of the small lot size and mix of residential and
commercial uses.
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."
There is currently water and septic service provided to the property. The residence on the
property is serviced by a domestic well permit # 309373. There is an existing septic system,
permit # SP -1800142, for the existing home (8094 CR 8) and is sized for three bedrooms.
The employees will be the individuals who live on site, there will be no added use of the
septic and water occurring from the business.
Section 22-2-100.E. .- C.Goal 5. Minimize the incompatibilities that occur between
commercial uses and surrounding properties.
Although in the surrounding area the proposed use is compatible the properties directly
adjacent to the property are being utilized as residential. The applicant proposes parking
of equipment and vehicles. The applicant also states these will be stored in an open-air
machine shed, which will be utilized as screening.
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, of the Weld County Code 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."
Section 23-3-40.S. — Uses by special review, of the Weld County Code allows, "Any use
permitted as a Use by Right, an accessory use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial
or Industrial zone districts, provided that the property is not a Lot in an approved or recorded
subdivision plat or lots parts of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling
subdivisions."
USR19-0013, Brandon and Colleen Olson
Page 3 of 10
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
The use of the lots around the subject site are primarily rural residential. The closest
residence is approximately 280 feet west of the subject property, with another being
approximately 500 feet to the east. The primary zoning in the area is A (Agricultural).
The proposed use will create an additional commercial impact to the area, however proper
screening, operation and drainage management will mitigate these potential impacts. The
business is not out of character with this area of Weld County.
There are numerous Use by Special Review Permits issued within one mile of the site.
USR-646 for a Horse sale, show and training facility is located east of and adjacent to the
subject property. USR-1449 for a construction business and a second single family
residence is located approximately 0.5 miles north. USR-1482 for a tree trimming business
and vehicle storage is located approximately 0.7 miles to the east. SUP -327 for a 300 head
dairy is approximately located one (1) mile east. USR14-0045 for a truck repair shop is
located approximately one (1) mile to the southeast. USR17-0009 for a RV, trailer and auto
storage facility is located approximately 0.97 miles south. USR-1261 for a 150 (dog) and
fort (40) cat kennel is located approximately one (1) mile south.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services sent notice to eight (8) surrounding
property owners within five -hundred (500) feet. No concerns were received back from
surrounding property owners regarding the proposed application.
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 Cities of Dacono and
Northglenn. Both municipalities had no concerns.
The site is not located within any existing Intergovernmental Agreement Area (IGA) of a
municipality or a Regional Urbanization Area (RUA) or Urban Growth Boundary (UGB).
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 A -P (Airport) Overlay District, Geologic Hazard Overlay
District, a Special Flood Hazard Area or MS4 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 located on approximately 2.5 acres designated as "Prime (Irrigated)
per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The
subject property is not currently used for agricultural purposes and the USR will not further
remove any active farm ground from production. Due to the small size of the property and
being located in a developing area, it is not suitable for agricultural production.
USR19-0013, Brandon and Colleen Olson

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.

28. 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.
29. 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
USR19-0013, Brandon and Colleen Olson
Page 9 of 10
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.

County, Colorado.
Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on July 2, 2019, at 12:30 p.m.
A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on July 17, 2019 at 10:00
a.m. Both hearings will be held in the Hearing Room, Weld County Administration Building, 1150 O
Street, Greeley, Colorado. It is recommended that you and/or a representative 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
