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.k1. -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other applicable
code provisions or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-2-20.G - A.Goal 7 states, "County land use regulations should protect the individual
property owner's right to request a land use change." And 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 applicant is requesting a Use by Special Review permit for an electric contractor business on
land that is also his personal residence. The property owner will employ eleven (11) persons who
will access the property in the morning, park their vehicles and leave in a company owned vehicles.
Hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday thru Saturday with availability for 24 hours
on call to answer emergency conditions. The existing landscaping on the site consists of grasses
with plants and trees.
Section 23-2-240.A.10 states "Buffering or screening of the proposed use from adjacent properties
may be required in order to make the determination that the proposed use is compatible with the
surrounding uses."
The proposed use is in an area that can support this development and the existing and 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 22-2-20.G.7 - A. Policy 7.3 states. -Conversion of agricultural land to urban residential,
commercial and industrial uses should be considered when the subject site is located inside an
Intergovernmental Agreement area, Urban Growth Boundary area. Regional Urbanization Area or
Urban Development Nodes. or where adequate services are currently available or reasonably
obtainable. A municipality's adopted comprehensive plan should be considered, but should not

obtainable. A municipality's adopted comprehensive plan should be considered, but should not
determine the appropriateness of such conversion."
This site is located within the Intergovernmental Agreement and Coordinated Planning Area for the
municipality of Platteville and is located within three miles of the Towns of Platteville and Gilcrest.
The Town of Platteville Notice of Inquiry dated July 17, 2018 stating "The Town is not interested in
annexing the property. It is well outside the Urban Growth Boundary and the Three Mile Area Plan."
The Town also returned a referral dated September 7, 2018 indicating they found no conflicts with
their interests. The Town of Gilcrest did not return a referral request.
Section 22-2-20.H.8 - A.Policy icy 8.5. states, "The land use applicants should demonstrate that public
service providers, such as but not limited to schools, emergency services and fire protection, are
informed of the proposed development and are given adequate opportunity to comment on the
proposal."
The applicant is requesting a USR permit for two (2) single-family dwellings on one parcel. The
applicant indicates that Central Weld County Water District provides water service to both
residences through residential Tap No. 3036. Both residences on the property are serviced by the
same existing onsite wastewater treatment system which is permitted for 3 bedrooms (G19771468).
An engineer review is required and if the system is inadequate a repair permit must be submitted,
and the system shall be brought up to current requirements. Portable toilets and bottled water can
be used for employees who are on site for 2 consecutive hours or less and 2 or less full-time
employees on site. The application indicates a portable toilet would be used for the business which
is acceptable with Environmental Health policy. The Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards ensure that there are adequate services and facilities available.
The USR request was sent to twelve (12) referral agencies, including municipalities within three
miles and the fire district. The referral agencies had 28 days to review this USR and most of them
submitted response of `no concerns' with the rest submitting comments or conditions that are
incorporated as Conditions of Approval or Development Standards in the staff recommendation.
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.M. which allows fora Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special
Review Permit for one (1) single-family dwelling unit per lot other than those permitted under
Section 23-3-20.A.. (second single-family dwelling unit) and Section 23-3-40.S. which allows for a
Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Use permitted as a
Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone
Districts (Landscape Maintenance Business) provided that the property is not a lot in an approved
or recorded subdivision plat or lots part of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations
controlling subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
Section 23-3-10 - Intent 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."
The proposed USR is in an area that can support this development and 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.
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 dryland agriculture, irrigated production agriculture and rural
residences. There are thirty-one (31) houses within approximately 1 -mile of the property with the
nearest residences being approximately ninety-three (93) feet north; one hundred twenty-one (121)
feet east and two hundred thirty-eight (238) feet south of the property line.
There are several USRs within one mile of this site. USR17-0049 for a high-pressure natural gas

pipeline, USR-958 for a ten -inch gas line located to the north and west; 5MJUSR17-83-0542 for the
DCP Mewbourn Gas Plant, USR12-0009 for a non -1041 major facility of a public utility and USR-
1018 for oil and gas storage of equipment. To the south are USR18-0018 for the Anadarko Latham
Gas Plant and USR-888 for a single-family dwelling.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services has not received phone calls or
correspondence from the surrounding property owners or interested persons regarding this Use by
Special Review.
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 Intergovernmental Agreement and Coordinated Planning Area for the
municipality of Platteville and is located within three miles of the Towns of Platteville and Gilcrest.
The Town of Platteville Notice of Inquiry dated July 17, 2018 stated "The Town is not interested in
annexing the property. It is well outside the Urban Growth Boundary and the Three Mile Area Plan."
The Town also returned a referral dated September 7, 2018 indicating they found no conflicts with
their interests. The Town of Gilcrest did not return a referral request.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Articles V and XI, of the Weld
County Code.
The site is not in the MS4, Floodplain, Geologic Hazard or the Airport Overlay Districts.
Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County -Wide
Road Impact Fee, 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 business is located on soil designated as "Other" per the 1979 Soil Conservation
Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. There are no new structures proposed so the
USR will not take any Prime (Irrigated) Farmland out of production.
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.
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 Planning Commission recommendation for approval is conditional upon the following:
1. Prior to recording the map:
A. The on -site wastewater treatment system permitted as G19771468 shall be reviewed by a Colorado
registered professional engineer to ensure adequacy for the addition of the second residence. In

27. The property owner or operator shall be responsible for complying with all of the foregoing Development
Standards. Noncompliance with any of the foregoing Development Standards may be reason for

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 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 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.

(2) amendments to the Planning Commission Resolution.
Hayley Balzano, Public Works, reported on the existing traffic, access to the site and drainage conditions
for the site. Ms. Balzano added that the existing access widths do not meet the Code criteria.
Lauren Light, Environmental Health, reviewed the public water and sanitary sewer requirements, on -site
dust control, and the Waste Handling Plan. Ms. Light requested the addition of "Portable toilets shall be
screened from public view" to the last sentence in Development Standard 20.

on the site for the electrical contractor's equipment and materials including company vehicles and port -a -
let shall be maintained" and renumber accordingly.
Tim Naylor, AGPROfessionals, 3050 67th Avenue, Greeley, Colorado, stated that he is representing the
applicants. Mr. Naylor said that this request is for an existing business operating on the site since 1979. It
includes a shop for the Kitzman Electric Facility that would have an office, storage area and parking of
company vehicles. He added that the request is also for a second single-family dwelling that is part of one
of the existing shops located on site.

Motion: Amend the Resolution to include the changes recommended by Mr. Ogle, Moved by Elijah Hatch,
Seconded by Gene Stille. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion: Amend Development Standard 20, as recommended by Ms. Light, Moved by Tom Cope,
Seconded by Bruce Sparrow. Motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Wailes referred to Development Standard 3 which set the hours of operation from 7 am to 7
pm Monday through Saturday, but there is a contingency with emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. He is concerned that it is loosely defined. He asked if this is adequately stated.
Mr. Naylor said that the last County Commissioner hearings he has attended they have actually removed
that condition because of the intent that there is an emergency outside of the hours of operation and then
they would be in violation of that. He said that they are in support of stating that it is a 24/7 operation or
striking the development standard.
Bruce Barker, County Attorney, said that if you want to make it clear that it is 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, then what is currently stated covers that.
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 USR18-0091 to the Board of County Commissioners along with the amended
Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's recommendation of
approval, Moved by Tom Cope, Seconded by Bruce Sparrow.
Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 8).
Yes: Bruce Sparrow, Elijah Hatch, Gene Stille, Lonnie Ford, Michael Wailes, Richard Beck, Skip Holland,
Tom Cope.
Meeting adjourned at 1:30 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
