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.F.2 - A.Policy 6.2. States, "Support opportunities, such as but not limited
to hobby farming and home businesses, to supplement family income and reduce living
expenses for farm families and others who prefer a rural lifestyle."
Section 22-2-20.G.-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 business is compatible because the use will primarily be within the accessory structure
being the pole barn. The application materials state that this transmission shop will
primarily be for the surrounding farmers and neighbor's equipment in the area.
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 house on the
property is currently served by Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD) via Tap #
1794. Water for the business and second home is available through Central Weld County
Water District via a letter from CWCWD dated April 25, 2019. A septic permit (SP -0100193)
sized for three (3) bedrooms was issued May 29, 2001 for the current home on the property.
A new on -Site Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) will serve the business and the
second dwelling.
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." This code section allows the applicant to apply for a USR (Use by
Special Review) Permit.
Section 23-3-40.M. -- Uses by special review, of the Weld County Code allows for "one (1)
single-family dwelling unit per lot other than those permitted under section 23-3-20.A.
(second single-family dwelling unit)" in the Agricultural (A) Zone District. This code section
allows the applicant to apply for the subject second home.
Section 23-3-40.P.-- Uses by special review, of the Weld County Code allows for a "home
business" in the Agricultural (A) Zone District. This code section allows the applicant to
apply for the home business.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
The subject property currently has an Oil and Gas Support Facility (USR-11447). This USR
will be fully vacated prior to recording of the new USR. There are several Use By Special
Review permits within one (1) mile of the subject property. Including one (1) accessory
structure, one (1) roping arena, one (1) airstrip, one (1) 400 head dairy, one (1) Oil and
Gas Support Service facility, two (2) in Ag related facilities, two (2) Mineral Resource
Facility and two (2) second single family residences.

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 the three (3) mile referral area of the Kersey. The Town of Kersey
did not return a referral. The site is also located within the Town of Kersey's Coordinated
Planning Agreement (CPA). The town indicated on the signed Notice of Inquiry form dated
May 14, 2019 that the property is not eligible for annexation and no further comments.
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, a Special Flood Hazard
Area, Airport Overlay District or the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) area.
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 soil designation for the site is "Irrigated (not prime) per the 1979 Soil Conservation
Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The site is not being used for
agricultural production and the small lot size is not suitable for farming.
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.
USR19-0039,
Apryl L. and Manuel Gallegos -Herrera,
Page 8 of 9
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.

COMMENTS:
The site is located south of CR 48 and approximately 500 feet west of CR 53. The site contains a singular
drive that has a gate. The site contains one existing residence and a pole barn and some out building
structures where it appears there were farm animals on site at one time.
