Road 10
Size of Parcel: +/- 33 acres Parcel No. 1473-10-0-00-015
Case Summary:
The request is for office space, seed processing, light manufacturing and the storage of structural insulated
panels, excavating equipment and other oil and gas support and service equipment. The first building (72'
x 200') is already constructed onsite as an agriculturally -exempt structure. A change of use application from
the Building Department is required to use the building for a commercial operation. Two additional buildings
(60' x 200') are proposed.
Hours of operation are proposed to be between 7am and 6pm, Monday through Friday, except in case of
emergency. Full time employees onsite will be no more than ten (10). The septic system is sized for six (6)
people, so the Department of Environmental Health has added appropriate conditions to ensure adequate
sewage disposal. The storage area is proposed to be enclosed with a six (6) foot chain link security fence,
as well as each building. Traffic is anticipated to be five (5) commercial vehicle roundtrips per day and up
to twenty (20) passenger vehicle round trips. Traffic is expected to come from the north on County Road
43 from Highway 52, though some may use the 1-76 frontage road to County Road 10.
Though the applicant has not proposed landscaping or screening, staff recommends screening and / or
landscaping to mitigate the impacts on surrounding properties and has requested a landscaping and
screening plan as a condition of approval. No signs were proposed as part of the application. The applicant
is encouraged to include any desired signage to be shown on the final USR map. Staff has also requested
a lighting plan to ensure that dark sky policy will be followed.
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
USR19-0025, Meadow Ridge Holdings LLC, Page 2 of 10
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.
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 use is in an area that can support this development and landscaping and
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.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural) Zone District.
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 agriculturally -related equipment and processing is permitted under Section 23-3-40.B
and mineral resource -related equipment and storage is permitted by Section 23-3-40.A.2
and the office, light manufacturing, construction equipment and storage are permitted by
Section 23-3-40.S.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
The Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Hudson calls out the land for agriculture uses.
The site is surrounded by agricultural land on three sides and the site is adjacent to
Interstate 1-76 on the east side. This provides easy access to the interstate transportation
corridors and provides justification for the industrial use. There are three USRs within one
mile of the property, SUP -354 for a gravel pit, USR17-0068 for a high-pressure natural gas
line and AMUSR1313 for a telecommunication tower. No surrounding property owners
objected to this USR.
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 towns of Hudson and
Lochbuie and the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Area for the Town of Hudson. The
IGA requires that an applicant either have a pre -annexation agreement with the Town in
place prior to the County accepting an application for development in this area or that the
property had been denied annexation by the Town. Meadow Ridge Holdings, LLC originally
approached the Town with a development proposal and annexation petition. The
annexation petition was denied prior to submittal of this application, January 16, 2019.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Articles V and XI, of the
Weld County Code.
USR19-0025, Meadow Ridge Holdings LLC, Page 3 of 10
The site is not is a Special Flood Hazard Area, Geohazard Area or other 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 approximately thirty-three (33) acres Prime (Irrigated)
per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The
applicant intends to farm all remaining land on the property.
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.

30. 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.
31. 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.
USR19-0025, Meadow Ridge Holdings LLC, Page 9 of 10
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 June 4, 2019, at 12:30 p.m.
A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on July 3, 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
