Commission. Be it resolved by the Weld County Planning Commission that the application for:
CASE NUMBER: USR18-0041
APPLICANT: COLORADO STATE BOARD OF LAND COMMISSIONERS, C/O PLATTEVILLE
SOLAR CSG LLC
PLANNER: MICHAEL HALL
REQUEST: A SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT
FOR A SMALL SCALE SOLAR FACILITY (2MW) IN THE A (AGRICULTURAL)
ZONE DISTRICT.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: SUBX18-0020, BEING PART OF THE NE4 SECTION 16, T3N, R66W OF THE 6TH
P.M., WELD COUNTY, COLORADO.
LOCATION: NORTH OF AND ADJACENT TO CR 32; WEST OF AND ADJACENT TO CR 31.
be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners 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 Planning Commission 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 22-5-130 states, "Due to the volatility of traditional energy resources, the County
supports and encourages development and use of alternative energy resources. Alternative
energy sources do not replace the traditional sources of energy; rather, expanding global
energy demands require a "new energy economy" that supports and enhances traditional
sources of energy."
Solar energy is an alternative energy source, adding variety, stability and enhancing the
existing electrical grid. Traditional energy resources, being primarily fossil fuel extraction, is
often tied to market demand and can vary in output and need. Solar energy can offset, buffer
and complement some of the fluctuating oil and gas activity.
Section 22-5-140.A.5 - AE. Policy 1.5. states, "Support the development and use of solar
energy."
This development is a solar facility which allows for the collection and use of solar energy.
Section 22-5-160. - A. UR.Goal 1. states, "Support and encourage the use of natural and
other resources available in the County by the residents of the County. 1. UR.Policy 1.1.
Support the development of power -generating facilities in the County that benefit the
residents of the County and employ the resources extracted, developed or available in the
County."
The project adds another power -generating facility to Weld County which supports the
growing energy needs of Weld County residents and is located near Highway 85 and central
Weld County municipalities such as Gilcrest and Platteville which is rapidly developing area
with commercial, industrial and residential uses.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2. -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
Zone District.
Section 23-3-10. — Intent, of the Weld County Code states, "The A (Agricultural) Zone District
is also intended to provide areas for the conduct of uses by Special Review which have been
RESOLUTION USR18-0041
COLORADO STATE BOARD OF LAND COMMISSIONERS, C/O PLATTEVILLE SOLAR CSG LLC
PAGE 2
determined to be more intense or to have a potentially greater impact than uses Allowed by
Right.°
Section 23-3-40.NN. — Uses by special review, of the Weld County Code allows, "Small Scale
Solar Facility." Based on this, the use may be permitted by a USR in the A (Agricultural) zone
district. The small scale solar is a non -permanent and regulated use of land and is consistent
with 23-3-10 as the use is more intense than a use by right.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses.
The adjacent lands consist of commercial agriculture, oil and gas, and solar facilities. The
proposed use is in an area that can support this development and existing overhead electrical
lines adjacent to the subject property allow connection of the facility to the grid.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services sent notice to ten (10) surrounding
property owners. No responses were received back. Of the ten (10) surrounding properties
that were notified, two (2) have residences located on them. The closest residence is
approximately 0.25 miles away. All of the adjacent lots are zoned A (Agricultural). There are
no subdivisions within a mile of the site and most of the nearby lots are large metes and
bounds parcels or have been created by the recorded exemption process.
There are eleven (11) USRs within one mile of this site. USR15-0076 for a small scale solar
facility which is located on the subject parcel. USR-1236 for 230/345kV transmission lines
which is located on the subject parcel. USR-1363 for a commercial egg farm, compost sales
and wood grinding. USR-1083 for private radio towers. USR-1578 for a community gathering
facility. USR-1195 for a 5,000 cow dairy. AMUSR-1038 for an oil and gas production facility.
USR-1756 for dog kennel. USR-1748 fora dog kennel. USR15-0019 for a dog kennel. SUP -
195 for a dog kennel.
The Improvements Agreement, Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will
assist in mitigating the impacts of the solar facility on the adjacent properties and ensure
compatibility with surrounding land uses and the region. The proposed screening includes an
eight -foot (8') tall decorative perimeter fence with six-inch (6°) square galvanized metal mesh
and timber posts around the solar facility which reduces the visual impact to the 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.
This site is located within the three (3) mile referral area and Coordinated Planning
Agreement (CPA) boundary of the Town of Platteville. The Town of Platteville referral
response, dated May 22, 2018, indicated no concerns. Additionally, Platteville was noticed as
part of the pre -application process and the Town submitted a response to the CPA Notice of
Inquiry form with no concerns about the solar facility.
The site is not located in a Regional Urbanization Area (RUA) or Urban Growth Boundary
(UGB) of a municipality.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 — The application complies with Chapter 23, Articles V and XI, of the
Weld County Code.
The site is not located within the Geologic Hazard Overlay, Special Flood Hazard Area, A -P
(Airport) Overlay District or MS4 area.
Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the
County -Wide Road Impact Fee Program.
RESOLUTION USR18-0041
COLORADO STATE BOARD OF LAND COMMISSIONERS, C/O PLATTEVILLE SOLAR CSG LLC
PAGE 3
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 parcel is located on soils designated as "Other" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service
Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The proposed use is temporary and soils will not
be unduly disturbed or removed from the property. After the lease period, the land can be
returned to agricultural production. The portion of the parent parcel that is not encumbered by
USR18-0041 and USR15-0076 will continue to be used for hay production. The portion of the
property where the proposed solar facility will be located does not have irrigation water.
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), Solar Facility Standards (Section 23-4-1030, 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

27. 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.
28. 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.
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.

dust control, and the Waste Handling Plan.
Tyson Taylor, 2236 Hooker Street, Denver, Colorado, said that is similar to the previous request. He said
that this site was a bit tricky due to the power lines and the underground oil and gas pipelines that they
wanted to avoid.
Commissioner Hatch referred to the application that states repairs and maintenance will happen between
8 am and 5 pm. He asked if there will be any repairs performed outside of those hours. Mr. Taylor said
that the repairs are performed during daytime working hours. He said that the system is designed that
individual arrays can be disconnected. He added that there will be no lighting on site to perform any repairs
during the night time.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
