Explain in detail, the proposed use of the property. Response: The property will be used for up to 12 MWs (DC) photovoltaic (solar) power generation plant. The project will be developed in three phases. The power generation will be connected and transmitted to Xcel Energy through nearby power lines (substation is directly across WCR 46 from the subject property). The subject property contains 79.59 acres and this Use by Special Review will include phasing of two (2) additional 5 MW (DC) photovoltaic power generation facilities. At total build -out, this USR is intended to support 12 MWs of clean, renewable power. 2.) Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22 of the Comprehensive Plan. Response: Chapter 22 of the Comprehensive Plan addresses "Alternative Energy Resources — Goals and Policies". The proposed use of the subject property as a solar power generation facility is consistent with the goals and policies of this section. Alternative Energy Goal No. 1 is to "Support and encourage research, development and use of alternative energy sources". This proposed use is for the development and use of alternative energy sources by the citizens and business of Weld County. This facility will provide a clean, renewable energy source for citizens and businesses who are served by Xcel Energy. Alternative Energy Policy 1.5. Calls for supporting and developing the use of solar energy. This proposed use is in keeping with this policy. Recommended Strategy AE.1.5.b. proposes "Creating incentives that encourage large-scale commercial solar collections". The proposed project, at full build out will ultimately provide 12 MWs of renewable solar energy and would be considered a Medium -Scale Solar. Weld County recently reviewed its regulations regarding solar power generation facilities. Strategy AE.1.6.a. of Chapter 22 addresses this and recommends reviewing County regulations to ensure support of all alternative energy resources for small and large-scale applications. 3.) Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 23 (Zoning) and the zone district in which it is located. Response: The subject property is zoned Agricultural (A) and is in a Non - Urbanized Area. Medium -Scale Solar Facilities ore permitted as a Use by Special Review in the Agricultural zone district. The Use by Special Review process allows for adequate review by the Planning staff, Planning Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners, to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. Additionally, citizens are afforded adequate opportunities to express their concerns in the public hearing setting before any solar facility can be constructed on agriculturally zoned land. Solar facilities allow farmers and ranchers another use for their land and a viable stream of income beyond traditional farming and ranching uses. 4.) Describe what type of land uses surround the site. Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses. Response: North of the subject property is a PSCO Electrical Substation, oil/gas facility and tank battery, and agricultural uses. Northeast of the subject property is an oil/gas storage yard on 62 acres. East of the subject property is a 75 acre parcel owned by the owner of the proposed solar site which is agricultural in use with a farm house on the east side of the parcel. South of the subject property is an 83 acre parcel with agricultural uses. Southwest of the subject property is a 78 acre parcel with an oil/gas facility and tank battery and agricultural uses.
