Case Summary:
The applicant is a contractor who operates a pipeline and infrastructure installation company. The
applicant is proposing on -site parking and staging of excavators, a single axle dump trucks, motor
graders and trailers on site. Most equipment will be at off -site job locations, however, the application
indicates that very rarely will more than five (5) pieces of equipment will be stored on the property at one
time. Limited storage of pipes, asphalt piles and wood on the property were onsite when staff visited the
property. There is a 1,000 gallon fuel tank onsite that the applicant has indicated an SPCC plan is being
filed for. The existing single-family residence will serve as an office for the business with four (4) office
spaces for employees (2 part-time and 2 full-time employees). The property is served by an existing
Central Weld County Water District tap and an existing septic system (septic permit G19920184).
This USR application was submitted in response to an active zoning violation (ZCV19-0059) due to the
operation of a pipeline business along with equipment and vehicle storage without completing the
necessary Weld County Zoning Permits.
This application was submitted and determined complete prior to the changes to the Weld County Code
that became effective 7/24/2019.
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

is an area that can support such development and should attempt to be compatible with
the region."
The site is north of and adjacent to an existing USR (USR18-0025 — semi -struck parking
for a water hauling business and storage of fuel) that is screened by existing vegetation. A
screening plan is required to screen the parking and staging area from adjacent properties.
Section 22-2-50.1.5 (A.Policy 9.5) states, "Applications for a change of land use in the
agricultural areas should be reviewed in accordance with all potential impacts to
surrounding properties and referral agencies."
The proposed use is an area that include screening requirements, limits on number of on -
site employees and limits on the number of vehicles and numbers of equipment to be
parked onsite.
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.
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.S delineates any Use permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or

residence and limited parking and storage of equipment for an underground pipeline
installation, earthmoving and stream/creek excavation company) provided that the property
is not a lot in an approved or recorded subdivision plat or part of a map or plan filed prior
to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions as a Use by Special Review in the
A(Agricultural) Zone District.
Section 23-3-10 — Intent, states, in part: "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 attached Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will adequately mitigate
the impacts of the proposed use on the surrounding area. Limits of hours of operation and
number of vehicles are attached to address the impacts related to this use.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.

parking for a water hauling business), Two existing single-family residences are located to
the northeast and southeast and irrigated cropland is located to the west.
No phone calls and/or correspondence has been received from surrounding property
owners regarding this case.
The Conditions of Approval require a Screening Plan, limits on hours of operation and
number of vehicles and equipment. The Development Standards and 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.
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

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 5.69 acres as "Prime" and "Irrigated Land
Non -Prime" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County
Map. This lot is a recorded exemption lot. This lot was split off from a 17 acre -parcel

31. 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.
32. 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 maybe 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.
USR19-0051 — Buum
Page 9
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.

Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on October 15, 2019, at 12:30
p.m. A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on November 6, 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
