comments into the record. Staff received 2 emails in opposition with concerns of traffic, automobiles
associated with business parking on both sides of Henry Avenue limiting space for vehicles to travel,

application with the attached conditions of approval and development standards.
The Chair asked if the legal notice for this case stated the buildings exceed the 4% lot coverage for
accessory structure requirement because they are in a platted subdivision because the agenda for the
meeting did not state it. Staff said that proper notice was made.
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. Mr. Frissell recommended that "Portable toilets shall be
screened from existing adjacent residential properties and the public right-of-way" be added as the last
sentence of Development Standard 16.
Commissioner Ford asked for the total percentage of buildings on the property. Staff said the lot
coverage of buildings on the property is approximately 10.5%.
Carolina Salinas and Jose Castillo, 15600 Casler Avenue, Fort Lupton, Colorado. Ms. Salinas explained
they are currently building their house on the property. Ms. Salinas said they are proposing to have their
home and business on the property. She said the business will be ran temporarily from their property until
they can afford to rent a commercial property. Ms. Salinas said the house is under construction and they
are doing their best to keep the property clean.
Commissioner Cope asked the applicant if they planned to request any additional buildings besides the 2
buildings shown on the map. Ms. Salinas answered that they want to have 2 8' x 8' sheds for storage.
The Chair asked the applicant if their business is landscape construction or landscape maintenance. Ms.
Salinas said they do more landscape construction. Commissioner Wailes asked if material is stored on the
site or if the material is delivered to the job site. Mr. Salinas said the material is delivered to the job site.
Commissioner Cope told the applicant that he noticed a lot of vehicles on the aerial view of the property
and asked the applicant if they would be removing any of the vehicles. Ms. Salinas explained they will have
5 work trucks parked outside. She said the RVs have been removed from the site.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
No one wished to speak.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION: LOT B REC EXEMPT RECX16-0076, PART W2 SE4 SECTION 33, T1 N, R67W
OF THE 6TH P.M., WELD COUNTY, COLORADO.
LOCATION: NORTH OF AND ADJACENT TO CR 2; APPROXIMATELY 0.5 MILES EAST OF
CR 17.
Kim Ogle, Planning Services, presented Case USR19-0040, reading the recommendation and comments
into the record. Mr. Ogle explained the Weld County Board of County Commissioner's Resolution
recorded February 14, 2018 denied the applicant's request for USR17-0016 because the Applicant failed
to demonstrate that the proposal is consistent with in Chapter 22 and any other applicable code
provisions or ordinances in effect. The application lacked adequate evidence demonstrating how the
application meets the Comprehensive Plan, Section 23-2-230. Mr. Ogle stated pursuant to Chapter 2,
Article II, Section 2-3-10 of the Weld County Code, the Board of County Commissioners shall consider
the applicant's request for a Hearing of Substantial Change and whether within the concept of a new
application, the facts and circumstances of which are substantially changed from the initial application.
Mr. Ogle read the recommendation and comments into the record. Mr. Ogle explained the applicant is
proposing a PUD for residential and commercial uses on the property. Staff has received 9 letters of
opposition. Some of the letters are in opposition for the previous USR case and some letters are in
opposition for the substantial change review. The Department of Planning Services recommends
approval of this application request.
The Chair asked staff if Public Works or Environmental Health would have any comments for this case. Mr.
Ogle explained that they would not because a Substantial Change application is handled by the Planning
Department. The applicant is asking for consideration from the Planning Commission they believe the Use
by Special Review which is addressed under Chapter 23 is substantially different from a Planned Unit
Development which is addressed under Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code.
Commissioner Cope said that he feels the PUD sounds completely different from the USR and sounds
more compatible with the area except for the commercial building on the property.
Commissioner Johnson asked why there is a USR number for this case (USR19-0040) when it is a
proposed PUD. Mr. Ogle explained that Case USR19-0040 is for a Substantial Change.
The Planning Commission took a few minutes to review the Substantial Change case and read through the
exhibits (correspondence) that staff provided to the County Attorney prior to the hearing. County Attorney
Choate explained to the Planning Commission that they are not deciding on the PUD, they need to decide
if the new application is a Substantial Change as defined in the Weld County Code.
Kelsey Bruxvoort, AGPROfessionals, 3050 67th Avenue, Greeley, Colorado. Ms. Bruxvoort stated that she
was representing WW, LLC. She explained that the applicant is requesting a Substantial Change in order
to allow a new land use application to be processed. Ms. Bruxvoort said the applicant would like to propose
a PUD with residential estate lots and commercial uses. A Substantial Change is required before the PUD
request can be processed due to the previously denied Case USR17-0016. Ms. Bruxvoort explained that
the applicant is not allowed to submit a new land use application within 5 years of the denial of a previous
land use application unless it can be determined there has been substantial change in the facts and
circumstances regarding the initial application. She said the new application has significantly changed from
the original application. The original denied USR application requested an RV and boat storage, storage
buildings and parking and staging of roll -offs, vehicles and equipment. Ms. Bruxvoort explained the
applicant has adjusted his plans based on the feedback he received through the USR process. The
applicant feels the PUD would be compatible with the area and address the neighborhood concerns.
Commissioner Johnson asked where the commercial lot would be on the future PUD. Ms. Bruxvoort said
it would be located where the existing shop is on the property.
Commissioner Ford asked if the commercial building will be on a residential property. Ms. Bruxvoort
explained that a PUD allows for a mixed use of zoning. She said it would mostly be residential but there is
an existing shop that they would like to incorporate in their plans. Ms. Bruxvoort said they have not prepared
a PUD application because they have to get through the Substantial Change before they can proceed with
plans.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the access to the commercial lot would be through the residential
development. He felt it would be more compatible if they could access that lot another way. Ms. Bruxvoort
explained that could all be determined when they can begin planning the PUD.
The Chair said it was his understanding that the Planning Commission was not approving the PUD but
instead deciding if they believe the applicant has proven they have a significant change from the denied
USR application to allow the applicant to move forward with applying for the PUD application. Mr. Wailes
asked for further direction from Mr. Choate, County Attorney.
Mr. Choate explained that the Substantial Change is a prerequisite to be able to move forward with a new
land use permit on the same property where the Board of County Commissioners previously denied a land
use permit request. He said the Planning Commission needs to decide if the applicant has proven there is
a substantial change in facts and circumstances from the initial denied land use application and allow the
applicant to apply for a new land case application.
Commissioner Holland asked if the new land use application was applied for after the 5 -year limitation,
would this be an issue. Mr. Choate explained that it would not be an issue because a determination of a
substantial change would not be required.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
Bill Wycoff, 333 County Road 17, Brighton, Colorado. Mr. Wycoff expressed concerns with the details of
the PUD, however, acknowledged that the PUD is not relevant for the Substantial Change case. He said
he is concerned about commercial use on this property. Mr. Wycoff said the current site is in violation and
that they work with hazardous chemicals. He feels WW, LLC demonstrates little interest in operating under
the County requirements. Mr. Wycoff is concerned about the idea of future commercial coming into the
neighborhood because of the uncertainty of what type of business will come in. He said he feels this
Substantial Change still has the commercial aspect of the denied case.
Sharall Kinnison, 8625 County Road 2 and Elizabeth Barngrouer, 8629 County Road 2, Brighton, Colorado.
Ms. Kinnison said she is also representing her daughter who was not able to attend this meeting. Ms.
Kinnison said she lives right next to the property and notices a lot of semis driving on the road that are
creating a lot of dust. She said they are not taking care of the roads. Ms. Kinnison said she has been in
contact with Bethany about the site being in violation. She said there are less birds, the property is no
longer green, and the property owner has put up several berms that hide their views. Ms. Kinnison
expressed concern that the property owner has been breaking County law since he purchased the property.
She hears truck traffic beginning at 6:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.
Commissioner Cope asked Ms. Kinnison if she lives directly north of the shop. She answered that was
correct. Commissioner Cope asked where her access was to her property. She said she accesses her
property from County Road 2 and uses the easement.
Robert Morelli, 305 County Road 19, Brighton, Colorado. Mr. Morelli said he lives directly east of the
property. He said he has a problem with the lack of transparency with what is happening on the property.
Mr. Morelli said he agrees with the other 2 neighbors that the current property owner is using the property
illegally. He said it is frustrating to see semis from his back yard all day long and that he knows it is not
supposed to be happening. Mr. Morelli said the property owner has never reached out to him or his
neighbors to discuss his plans.
The Chair asked the applicant to come back up to the podium.
Commissioner Beck asked Ms. Bruxvoort if the applicant's business has been in violation for 2 years. Ms.
Bruxvoort explained that he has a tenant who he thought would be operating an agricultural business out
of the shop. She said the business is treatment technology for the agricultural community but that the
County views the business as a commercial operation. Ms. Bruxvoort explained that is why the applicant
needs to go through another land use application in order to address the zoning violation. Commissioner
Beck asked if the property owner has thought about asking the tenant to move their business. Ms. Bruxvoort
said the tenant is currently constructing a building in Firestone. The building was supposed to be completed
in May, but the tenant is having problems getting the building permitted with the Town of Firestone.
Commissioner Ford asked Ms. Bruxvoort who was responsible for maintaining the road for the shared
easement. Ms. Bruxvoort answered that she was not aware of an agreement.
The Chair called a recess at 1:48 p.m. and reconvened the hearing at 2:00 p.m.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the 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 USR19-0040 to the Board of County Commissioners along with the Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's recommendation of approval,
Moved by Elijah Hatch, Seconded by Lonnie Ford.
Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 8).
Yes: Bruce Johnson, Bruce Sparrow, Elijah Hatch, Lonnie Ford, Michael Wailes, Richard Beck, Skip
Holland, Tom Cope.
Commissioner Cope stated that he appreciated the time from the public who came to voice their concerns.
He explained their decision was if the applicant met the Substantial Change request. Commissioner Cope
stated that the public can voice their concerns with the PUD application at the time of those hearings.
The Chair said they had to base their decision on a Substantial Change for the new proposed use.
Commissioner Beck suggested the property owner work with the neighbors and try to get along better.
Commissioner Holland expressed concern about the current situation happening on the property.
The Chair said he agreed with Staffs recommendation and the applicant has met the criteria for a
Substantial Change per County Code, Chapter 2, Article 2, Section 2-3-10. He said he agrees with the
other Planning Commissioners that the property owner should work with the community as they prepare
their new plans for the property.
