6:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The proposed business will have eight (8) full-time and two (2) part-time
employees.
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 G.2. A.Policy.7.2 states, "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 located on a parcel delineated as "Non -Prime" per the 1979 Soil
Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. No farmground will be
removed from agricultural production. The site is immediately adjacent to a State Highway
and truck traffic associated with the business will access directly onto a paved State
Highway (Highway 14).
USR18-0113, Swanson
Section 22-2-20 1.3. A.Policy 9.3 states, "Consider mitigation techniques to address
incompatibility issues."
The proposed use is in an area that can support this development and the existing
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. Limits on number of vehicles and landscaping
requirements have been attached as development standards and conditions of approval to
help mitigate impacts from this use on adjacent properties and the surrounding area.
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 of the Weld County Code allows uses permitted as a Use by Right, an
Accessory Use or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts
as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
Section 23-3-10 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. The A (Agricultural)
Zone District regulations are established to promote the health, safety and general welfare
of the present and future residents of the county."
Conditions of approval and development standards (including limits on hours of operation
and limits on number of vehicles associated with the business) will address impacts
associated with the proposed business.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. The proposed USR site is located approximately 450-500
feet from the nearest residence. Cropland is located further to the east along with
rangeland from the west. Another residence is located a further distance to the north
(across Highway 14) as well as another residence to the south. The residence to the east
is screened from the site by trees and vegetation.
No phone calls or correspondence regarding this application have been received from
surrounding property owners.
Conditions of approval and development standards (including landscaping and screening
requirements, limits on hours of operation, limits on number of commercial vehicles and
limits on number of employees) will ensure that the use is compatible with the surrounding
area.
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 Town of Severance. The
site is also located within the Town of Severance/Weld County Cooperative Planning
Agreement Boundary. Prior to sending out referrals, the Town of Severance responded
that the Town of Severance is comfortable with the applicant's decision to remain in the
County. No referral response from the Town of Severance regarding this case has been
received.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Articles V and XI, of the
Weld County Code.
USR18-0113, Swanson
The property is not within the Geologic Hazard Overlay District, a Special Flood Hazard
Area or the Airport Overlay District.
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 property the facility is to be located on is delineated as "Irrigated Land (Not Prime)"
and "Prime if Irrigated" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of
Weld County Map. The proposed facility is located on land delineated as Irrigated (Non -
Prime).
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.

32. 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.
33. WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM: 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.
USR18-0113, Swanson
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.

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
