be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners for the following reasons.
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 -- That the proposal is consistent with Chapter 22 of this Code and any
other applicable code provision or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-2-10.F Land use policies should support a high -quality rural character which respects
the agricultural heritage and traditional agricultural land uses of the County, as agricultural lands
are converted to other uses (excluding urban development). Rural character in the County
includes those uses which provide rural lifestyles, rural -based economies and opportunities to
both live and work in rural areas. The natural landscape and vegetation predominate over the built
environment. Agricultural land uses and development provide the visual landscapes traditionally
found in rural areas and communities.
The proposed facility is consistent with the land use policies defined in Section 22-2-10.F of the
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use will use only a small corner of the property. Workshops
are common in the agricultural zone. The applicants are proposing to build a home on the
property in the future. which will allow them to run their business from their home.
Section 22-2-20.G(2)
A.Policy 7.2. 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 shop will be located near utilities. leaving the remainder of the property open for
pastureland. The applicants have agreed to install treed landscaping to screen commercial uses
from the closest neighbor. The proposed screening, 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 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. 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.
The proposed use is permitted under Section 23-3-40.S., which allows any use permitted as a
Use by Right. an Accessory Use or a Use by Special Review Permit 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 in the A (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.
There are three Use by Special Review permits within one mile of the site, SUP -380 (230 kV
electrical lines), USR-1466 (Home Business — Construction), and USR-607 (Animal Research
Facility). Electrical lines are adjacent to the southern property line. The home business is located
approximately 700 feet east of the property boundary. across County Road 86.
Three (3) phone calls were received from two Surrounding Property Owners with concerns of
having a commercial business being located too close to his house. The applicants are in
communication with one neighbor and have agreed to install a treed landscaped buffer and to
maintain the shared access road.
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.
This site is located within the both the Timnath and Severance Intergovernmental Agreement
areas. No responses were received back. The site is located approximately 1.3 miles from the
Town of Severance limit. The current Severance Future Land Use Map does not include the
subject property.
Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23. Articles V and Xl. of the Weld
County Code.
The site is not in a floodplain. geohazard area. MS4 area or airport overlay district.
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 land designated as "Other Land per the 1979 Soil
Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. No prime agricultural or
irrigated land is affected by this proposal.
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.

34. 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.
35. 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.
RESOLUTION USR18-0108
DANNY DORRANCE JR AND CASSANDRA DORRANCE

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.

Angela Snyder. Planning Services. presented Case USR18-0108, reading the recommendation and
comments into the record. Staff received three phone calls from surrounding property owners asking for
more information about the project. Yesterday, staff received a letter from the adjacent neighbor who
expressed concern about the proximity of the vehicles to his home since the proposed shop may be within
200 yards from his home. Another letter was received from a neighbor who expressed concern of a
commercial business not being compatible with the residential neighborhood. The Department of Planning
Services recommends approval of this application with the attached conditions of approval and
development standards.
Evan Pinkham. Public Works. reported on the existing traffic, access to the site and drainage conditions for
the site.
Ben Frissell. Environmental Health. reviewed the public water and sanitary sewer requirements, on -site
dust control, and the Waste Handling Plan.
Danny and Cassandra Dorrance. 35070 Cornerstone Way Windsor. Colorado. Mr. Dorrance said they
own and operate D & D Concrete. They do flat work such as basements, garages. and driveways. He
explained no work will be done on site. The site will be used to store his trucks, skid steers and trailers.
The foremen will arrive onsite in the morning to pick up company vehicles and any materials they may need.
They will return at the end of the day to drop the company vehicle off and pick up their personal vehicle to
take home.
Commissioner Johnson asked the applicant why they chose this location in such a remote area instead of
closer to where they work. The applicant explained their decision was based on the cost of the land and
the high rent he is paying for his current location. Mr. Dorrance said they plan to live on the property in the
future.
Commissioner Beck asked the applicant how many acres the property was. The applicant replied 121
acres.
Commissioner Cope asked the applicant which towns most of their work is done. The applicant replied
they mostly work in Northern Colorado including towns such as Windsor. Severance. Eaton. Loveland and
Timnath.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application_
Les Galvin. 40719 Remington Road, Ft. Collins. Colorado. Mr. Galvin said he owns the property across
the road. He is concerned about the broad description of the USR and would like to make sure there are
regulations in place to keep the area from becoming industrial.
Ms. Snyder stated that a Development Standard can be added to limit the amount of trucks and vehicles
allowed on the property.
The applicant said he currently has 4 crews with 5 vehicles but wants to allow room for growth of the
business. Mr. Dorrance would like to request a total of 16 vehicles on the property. He explained his plan
was to keep the shop and trucks in an area just shy of one acre so he does not have to get a grading permit.
Mr. Dorrance plans on keeping most of the trucks in the shop. He also plans to fence and screen the area.
Commissioner Johnson asked the applicant if their house will be in the area of the business. The applicant
said it would not.
Motion: Add a new Development Standard to limit commercial vehicles to 16. as requested by the
applicant. Moved by Bruce Johnson. Seconded by Tom Cope. Motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Johnson asked what the size of the area is that is being permitted. Mr. Dorrance said it
would be 208 x 208". just shy of one acre.
Commissioner Sparrow asked for clarification that the applicant didn't plan to park any vehicles outside of
that 208" x 208' area. Mr. Dorrance explained he was requesting that because he didn't want to get a
grading permit. Commissioner Sparrow explained the applicant would only need a grading permit if he
leveled the whole acre. Commissioner Cope said that parking a vehicle on undisturbed land would not
need to be graded. Commissioners Sparrow and Cope suggested the applicant not limit himself to such a
small area. Mr. Dorrance said he would like to have 4 acres available for growth of the business but fence
an acre for now.
Motion: Add a new Development Standard to limit the business development envelope to 4 acres. as
requested by the applicant. Moved by Bruce Johnson. Seconded by Richard Beck. Motion carried
unanimously.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the amended Development Standards and
Conditions of Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that they are in
agreement.
Motion: Forward Case USR18-0108 to the Board of County Commissioners along with the amended
Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commissions recommendation of
approval. Moved by Gene Stille. Seconded by Lonnie Ford.
Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 7).
Yes: Bruce Johnson, Bruce Sparrow. Gene Stille, Lonnie Ford. Michael Wailes. Richard Beck. Tom Cope.
Commissioner Wades said he feels the staff and applicant have shown they can fulfill all 7 criteria of County
Code Section 23-2-220.
The Chair asked the public if there were other items of business that they would like to discuss.
Les Galvin. 40719 Remington Road. Ft. Collins. Colorado. Mr. Galvin asked the Planning Commission if
USR18-0108 covers the entire 121 acres, would that affect Mr. Dorrance from being able to build a home
on the property later. The Planning Commission explained it would not.
Meeting adjourned at 5:05 pm.
Respectfully submitted.
