SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
Hearing Date: August 7,2018
Alex Seleznov — Advanced Extraction, LLC
18072 County Road 4, Brighton, CO. 80643
A Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Processing
and a Use Similar to Uses by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone District as
long as the Use complies with the general intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District
(Hemp Processing and Warehousing and Distribution of Hemp Products).
Being part of S2NW4 of Section 27, T5N, R65W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO
North and south of County Road 4 and east and west of County Road 37.
+/- 116.2 acres Parcel No. 147125000015
147331201005
The applicant is proposing hemp operation where hemp is grown, extracted, and processed to produce
hemp products. Hemp products are sold as well. The facility is located on two parcels and within two
existing buildings (one on the northwest corner and one on the southeast corner of the County Road 4/
County Road 37 intersection). The northwest building will be utilized for processing, manufacturing, and
laboratory and the southwest building will be utilized for growing, warehouse and shipping/receiving.
According to the application, there are currently 24 full-time employees that work at the facility and a total
40 people (including outside contractors, customers) are associated with the proposed operation. The
application indicates a total of 100 -vehicle trips per day are associated with the facility. The application
indicates approximately 80% of the vehicle trips will come from the south.
This proposed USR encompasses two parcels. One parcel is located at the northwest corner of County
Road 4/County Road 37 intersection while the other parcel is located at the southeast corner of the
County Road 4/County Road 37 intersection. The Department of Planning Services has discovered that
the southeastern parcel of this USR is located within the boundaries of an old subdivision (platted in the
early 1900s).
The southeast parcel will contain a hemp growing operation and warehousing of final hemp products
(such as salve, tea....). No processing of hemp will occur in this location.
The proposed use on this parcel is similar to uses under the USR category in the Ag such as Seed
production, processing, storage, mixing, blending and sales. The Weld County Code allows for Uses
Similar to Uses by Special Review in the Agricultural Zone District.
This application was submitted in response to an active Zoning Violation under case #ZCV17-00355 for a
hemp processing business without first completing the necessary building and zoning permits.
USR18-0037, Advanced Extraction, LLC
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. 2A.Policy 2.2. states: "Allow commercial and industrial uses, which are
directly related to or dependent upon agriculture, to locate within agricultural areas when
the impact to surrounding properties is minimal or mitigated and where adequate services
and infrastructure are currently available or reasonably obtainable. These commercial and
industrial uses should be encouraged to locate in areas that minimize the removal of
agricultural land from production."
The proposed use (processing of hemp) is an agricultural related use. Hemp is an
agricultural product. Additionally, the processing facility is located within an existing
agricultural facility (greenhouse facility) and no additional agricultural land will be removed
from production.
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.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural) Zone District.
The proposed use (hemp processing) requires a Use by Special Review Permit in 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 A (Agricultural) Zone District regulations
are established to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the present and future
residents of the County.
The proposed processing facility is located within an existing greenhouse facility (Tagawa
Greenhouse Enterprises, LLC). No new buildings and land disturbance is proposed.
Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will adequately potential impacts
generated by this facility.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
The proposed hemp processing facility is located within an existing greenhouse facility
located on the northwest and southeast corner of the County Road 4/County Road 37
intersection. The northwest parcel is bordered by an existing residential subdivision to the
south, a platted (though not yet developed) residential subdivision to the north and west
and a single-family residence and agricultural farmland to the east. The southeast parcel
is bordered by an existing single-family residential subdivision to the west and agricultural
land (cropland) to the north, south and east.
No phone calls or correspondence has been received from surrounding property owners
in regard to this case.
USR18-0037, Advanced Extraction, LLC
Conditions of approval and Development Standards associated with this case will
adequately impact potential impacts to ensure compatibility with existing surrounding land
uses.
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 Brighton, Hudson and Lochbuie.
Both properties are located adjacent to the municipal boundaries of the Town of Lochbuie.
It is not located within any existing Intergovernmental Agreement Area (IGA) of a
municipality. The Town of Hudson in their referral comments, dated May 3, 2018 indicated
that they have no concerns. No referral response has been received from the City of
Brighton and the Town of Lochbuie.
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 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 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 116.2 acres delineated as "Prime" and
"Irrigated (Not Prime)" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of
Weld County Map. The entirety of the northern parcel is "Prime" and the southern parcel is
"Prime" with approximately 30% delineated as "Irrigated (Not Prime)" along the eastern
portion of the southern parcel. The proposed hemp processing facility will be located in
existing structures and will utilize existing parking areas. No additional land will be
developed or disturbed.
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
USR18-0037, Advanced Extraction, LLC
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.

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
