WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners heard all of the testimony and

Weld County Planning Commission and all of the exhibits and evidence presented in this matter
and, having been fully informed, finds that this request shall 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 Board of County Commissioners that the applicant has
shown compliance with Section 23-2-230.B of the Weld County Code as follows:
A. Section 23-2-230.B.1 -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22
and any other applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
1) Section 22-2-10.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 site is located in a rural agricultural
area located approximately one (1) mile north of County Road 22
and access is provided through an easement. The nearest
residences are located approximately 1,600 feet to the southwest
of the site. The attached Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards (including a limit of number of attendees, limits on hours
of operation, an Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement,
a Traffic Control Plan, and requirements for on -site security and
medical personnel) will adequately mitigate the impacts of the use.
2) Section 22-2-20.D (A.Goal 4) states: "Promote a quality
environment which is free of derelict vehicles, refuse, litter and other
unsightly materials." The application indicates that trash will be
collected in a covered trash dumpster and will be removed at least
once (1) a week by a trash removal company.
3) Section 22-2-20.H (A.Goal 8) states: "Ensure that adequate
services and facilities are currently available or reasonably
2017-3048
PL2444
MAJOR AMENDED SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT (1MJUSR17-16-0029) - REYNALDO BONILLA
PAGE 3
obtainable to accommodate the requested new land use change for
more intensive development."Water will be provided by an existing
Commercial Well Permit (80304 F). The well is permitted to
withdraw up to 7.5 acre feet on an annual basis. The applicant has
indicated that the facility will utilize septic systems. Development
standards are attached requiring adequate security, veterinarians
and medical personnel and equipment to be on site during events.
B. Section 23-2-230.B.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of
the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Section 23-3-40.S allows for any Use
permitted as a Use by Right, Accessory Use, or Use by Special Review in
the Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts provided that the property is not
a lot in an approved or recorded subdivision plat or part of a map or plan
filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions; and,
Section 22-2-20.C allows for Commercial Recreation and Race tracks and
race courses as a Use by Special Review in the A (Agricultural) Zone
District. Section 23-3-10 — Intent 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 attached Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards (including a limit of number of
attendees, an Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement, a Traffic
Control Plan, and requirements for on -site security and medical personnel)
will adequately mitigate the impacts of the use.
C. Section 23-2-230.6.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible
with the existing surrounding land uses. The USR site is located in an
agricultural area. Cropland is located to the north and south. There are
two (2) single-family residences located approximately 1,600 feet to the
southeast of the site. A Use by Special Review Permit, USR-1634, is for a
truck parking and maintenance facility and is located to the west and is
owned by the applicant as well. Two (2) phone calls have been received
regarding this case. One phone call expressed concerns regarding whether
or not the septic system will have adequate capacity to serve this use and
whether the septic will be subject to Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment (CDPHE) requirements. The second phone call alleged
that the applicant was continuing to hold events (races) on the property and
that litter is being thrown by participants/attendees of the rodeo adjacent to
County Road 22. Two (2) letters and one (1) e-mail have been received in
regard to this case. Concerns/objections outlined in these letters/e-mail
include: crime and safety concerns, noise, water pollution, dust from traffic,
the access road is not designed for the amount of traffic and not designed
for two-way traffic, light pollution from traffic accessing the event, traffic is
trying to access the site from other dead-end accesses to the east (no room
to turn -around), lack of oversite, greater risk of alcohol, drugs and fire arms
from large crowds, inadequate trash mitigation plan, loss/impact on quality
of life, allegations that applicant is already holding events for up to 1,500
people (no visible security on site). The application indicates the facility will
2017-3048
PL2444
MAJOR AMENDED SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT (1 MJUSR17-16-0029) - REYNALDO BONILLA
PAGE 4
utilize two (2) septic systems (not exceeding 2,000 gallons in capacity).
Septic systems that do not exceed 2,000 gallons do not trigger Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) permitting
requirements. The only activity related to horses (in addition to the event
center approved under USR16-0029) currently allowed is horse training
and boarding which allows a total of four (4) horses per acre and 60 trips
per day to and from the site. The Weld County Sheriff's Office reviewed
this application and indicated no conflicts in the referral response dated
June 5, 2017. The application indicates that trash will be collected in a
covered, confined trash dumpster and removed at least weekly by a trash
removal company. The attached Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards (including a limit of number of attendees, noise standards, limits
on hours of operation, an Improvements and Road Maintenance
Agreement, a Traffic Control Plan, requirements for on -site security and
medical personnel and equipment) will adequately mitigate the impacts of
the use.
D. Section 23-2-230.B.4 - The uses which would 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 this Code or master plans of affected municipalities. This
property is located within the three (3) mile referral area for the Town of
Hudson. The Town of Hudson, in the referral response dated June 15,
2017, indicated that the Town of Hudson Planning Commission has
reviewed the proposed amendment and states: "The Commission is
concerned for the health, safety and welfare of spectators, participants and
animals partaking in the racing activities proposed for the site. We would
hope that the review process for this amendment has taken into account
previous activities at similar facilities and has incorporated the concerns of
the Hudson Fire Protection District and their ability to provide emergency
services to the site." No referral response has been received from the Town
of Hudson Fire Protection District.
E. Section 23-2-230.B.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23,
Articles V and XI, of the Weld County Code. This property is not located
within an overlay district nor within a 100 -year floodplain boundary. 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 23-2-230.B.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 15 acres delineated
as Irrigated "Prime," per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important
Farmlands of Weld County Map. Agricultural related uses are proposed for
the property (Horse riding arena, horse practice track barns and pasture)
are proposed for this site in addition to the event center.

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 aril 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 persons moving into these areas
must recognize the various impacts associated with this development. Oftentimes, 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.
39. The Weld County Right to Farm Statement, as it appears in Section 22-2-20.J.2 of the
Weld County Code, shall be placed on the map and recognized at all times.
