Request: Change of Zone from the 1-3 (Industrial) and A (Agricultural) Zone District to the 1-3
(Industrial) Zone District
Legal Lot B 2ND Corrected Recorded Exemption, RE -3362; Being part of NE4 of Section 30,
Description: T1 N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO
Location: West of and adjacent to CR 27 (North Main Street) and approximately 1300 feet south
of County Road 6 (Crown Prince Boulevard)
Acres: +/- 54.1 acres
Parcel #. 1471-30-1-00-104
THE 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 23-2-50 of
the Weld County Code.
2. The submitted materials are in compliance with Section 23-2-30 of the Weld County Code, as
follows:
A. Section 23-2-30.A.1. - That the proposal is consistent with Chapter 22 of the Weld County.
Section 22-2-20.G - A.Policy 7.3 states "Conversion of agricultural land to urban residential,
commercial and industrial uses should be considered when the subject site is located inside
an Intergovernmental Agreement area, Urban Growth Boundary area, Regional Urbanization
Area or Urban Development Nodes, or where adequate services are currently available or
reasonably obtainable. A municipality's adopted comprehensive plan should be considered,
but, should not determine the appropriateness of such conversion."
The City of Fort Lupton adopted a Three Mile Area Plan in January 2018 that provides criteria
to be considered when determining which lands near the City might be desirable for
annexation. The proposed change of zone parcel is located in Quadrant IV, is located south
of County Road 6, is outside of the Fort Lupton City Limits and is without a designation
including "Infill."
The City of Fort Lupton Comprehensive Plan adopted May 2018 identifies County Road 6 as
the Brighton IGA Annexation Boundary Line. The Brighton agreement signed in 2009 defines
a growth boundary line between the municipalities in an effort to promote sustainable
development and avoid duplication of resources.
The Future Land Use Map identifies lands adjacent to State Highway 85 between County
Road 8 and County Road 2 west of County Road 27 as Park and Open Space and yet the
Annexation Strategy presented in the Comprehensive Plan does not include any lands south
of County Road 6. Community identify is an important element to create a positive image to
the City and to welcome individuals to a community, the southern gateway to the City is
identified as County Road 8 at State Highway 85 and at County Road 8 and County Road 27,
North Main Street.
The City of Brighton developed a Future Land Use Plan as part of the 2016 Comprehensive
Plan. Their Future Land Use Plan identifies appropriate future mix of uses and development
intensity for a specific area. For example, the area east of US 85 and north of 168th Avenue is
assigned an Employment Industrial land use designation to encourage that land be retained
for a mix of offices, flex -office, and light industrial uses such as regional headquarters for
energy companies. Further east of Main Street the designation changes to Industrial to
accommodate heavier industries such as manufacturing and outdoor assembly and storage in
closer proximity to rail.
The City of Brighton Community Development Map identifies County Road 27 (North Main
Street° and County Road 6 (Crown Prince Boulevard) between State Highway 85 and west of
County Road 31 as annexed and maintained by the City. For all lands annexed by the City of
Brighton industrial zoning and industrial uses are prevalent.
The proposed Change of Zone to address the spilt zoning on the property is compatible with
the current Comprehensive and Future Development Plans for both municipalities.
Section 22-2-80.A.2 - Industrial Goals and Policies 1.Policy 1.2 states "Encourage new
industrial development within existing industrial areas."
The property has a split zone district with approximately 19 acres zoned Industrial via a
Change of Zone No. 45 approved on October 23, 1963 with the remaining 35 acres zoned
Agriculture.
The proposed change of zone is adjacent to State Highway 85 to the west and County Road
27 (N. Main Street) to the east and adjacent to lands annexed by the City of Brighton in
2014. The lands adjacent to or surrounding this property are either zoned Industrial or have
industrial related uses permitted on the property.
Section 22-2-80.F. - Industrial Goals and Policies (.Goal 6 states "Minimize the
incompatibilities that occur between industrial uses and surrounding properties."
Should this change of zone be approved, any proposed uses on the site will require a Site
Plan Review or a Use by Special Review permit (depending on the use) prior to developing
the site. Uses will need to meet the Industrial operational and design standards delineated in
Sections 23-3-340 and 23-3-350 of the Weld County Code. These standards address
drainage, parking, loading, setbacks, landscaping, lot coverage, noise, lighting et cetera.
Section 22-2-80.D - Industrial Goals and Policies, (.Goal 4 states "All new industrial
development should pay its own way."
The applicant will be responsible for covering all costs for all on -site and any applicable off -site
improvements associated with this use.
Section 22-6-20 - Economic development Goals and Policies, ECON.Goal 5 states
"Recognize and promote specific places and resources in the County that can uniquely
support economic development."
If approved, the change of zone will expand the existing 1-3 Industrial Zoning creating a
parcel of land that is a "shovel -ready" industrial site, where primary job providers would be
able to develop and promote the expansion and diversification of the Industrial economic
base.
Section 23-3-330 of the Weld County Code states "Intent. The purpose of the 1-3 Zone
District is to provide a zone to accommodate industrial uses which may create adverse
visual impacts for adjacent uses. As a result, such uses may require locations relatively
isolated from other land use types.
Depending on the use, no land, building or structure shall be used, changed in use or type of
occupancy, developed, erected, constructed, reconstructed, moved or structurally altered or
operated in any zone district that requires a Site Plan Review (SPR) or a Special Use Permit
(USR) until a Site Plan Review has been approved by the Department of Planning Services
or a Special Use Permit (USR) has been approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
B. Section 23-2-30.A.2. - The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by granting
the change of zone will be compatible with the surrounding land uses.
Lands to the north and southeast were re -zoned to 1-3 (Industrial) under CZ -1028 and CZ -
1029 on November 5, 2003. Adjacent properties zoned Agriculture have Special Use
Permits for industrial uses including a commercial junkyard and salvage yard (COPART
Inc.); Oil and Gas Support and Service, including the storage of explosives, truck and
equipment parking and equipment maintenance (Ken Shannon); lands immediately adjacent
to the south were permitted for a maintenance shop, outdoor storage of equipment and
materials (ARNHEIM, Inc.) and was annexed into the City of Brighton on January 13, 2014.
C. Section 23-2-30.A.3. - Adequate water and sewer service can be made available to the site to
serve the uses permitted within the proposed zone district.
Water will be provided by a commercial well (DWR Permit 309599). An on -site wastewater
treatment systems (OWTS) will provide sewer services are proposed for development of the
property.
D. Section 23-2-30.A.4. - Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are
adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zone districts.
The site has a historic point of ingress and egress and is adjacent to County Road 27 (North
Main Street). This portion of Main Street is under the jurisdiction of the City of Brighton.
E. Section 23-2-30.A.5. - In those instances where the following characteristics are applicable to
the rezoning request, the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the applicable
standards:
1) Section 23-2-30.A.5.a. - The parcel is located outside of the 100 -year Floodplain.
2) Section 23-2-30.A.5.b. - The Terracon Geotechnical Engineering Report dated April 2018
indicated the subsurface conditions consisted of up to three (3) feet of sandy lean clay
over well graded sand with silt and gravel. The economic viability of resource is unknown
on this property.
The Weld County Sand, Gravel Resources map, based on information obtained from
Colorado Geological Survey Special Publication 5-A, 1974 defines the Landform Units as
Stream -Terrace deposits: Older stream deposits now preserved as benches flanking
present stream courses and are comprised of water deposited gravel, sand, silt, and clay.
3) Section 23-2-30.A.5.c. - The Terracon Geotechnical Engineering Report dated April 2018
indicated lean clay soils were encountered within three feet of the surface and these
materials may be susceptible to shrink and swell and loss of strength. Therefore, over
excavation is recommended of the development areas with properly compacted materials
meeting the Colorado Department of Transportation Class 6 aggregate base course.
An On -site area specific for development of the site, Geotechnical Soils Report needs to
be submitted prior to recording of Site Plan Review (SPR) or Special Use Permit (USR)
that includes a preliminary design for the roads and foundations to be constructed on -site.
This recommendation is based, in part, upon a review of the application materials submitted by the
applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.
The Change of Zone from the 1-3 (Industrial) and A (Agricultural) Zone District to the 1-3 (Industrial)
Zone District is conditional upon the following:

12. 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.
13. 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, sand burs, 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.
3. Upon completion of Conditions of Approval 1. and 2. above, the applicant shall submit one (1)
electronic copy (.pdf) of the Change of Zone plat for preliminary approval to the Weld County
Department of Planning Services. Upon approval of the plat the applicant shall submit a Mylar plat
along with all other documentation required as Conditions of Approval. The Mylar plat shall be
recorded in the office of the Weld County Clerk and Recorder by Department of Planning Services'
Staff. The plat shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 23-2-50.C. and
D. of the Weld County Code. The Mylar plat and additional requirements shall be submitted within
one -hundred -twenty (120) days from the date of the Board of County Commissioners resolution.
The applicant shall be responsible for paying the recording fee.
4. In accordance with Weld County Code Ordinance #2012-3, approved April 30, 2012, should the
Change of Zone plat not be recorded within the required one hundred twenty (120) days from the
date of the Board of County Commissioners Resolution, a $50.00 recording continuance charge
shall be added for each additional three (3) month period.
5. The Department of Planning Services respectfully requests a digital copy of this Use by Special
Review, as appropriate. Acceptable format is a projected ESRI shapefile (.shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj)
with a defined coordinate system (i.e., NAD 1983 UTM Zone 13N, WGS 1984, NAD 1983 HARN

Comments:
Access to the property is office of County Road 27 (Main Street) a two lane road with a posted speed limit
of 45. This road was heavily traveled on the day of the visit, with a majority of the vehicles being trucks.
Access onto the property appears to be improved from historic photos obtained from County records.
The newer access is wider and is located in the same location as the previous access. There is a
monolithic reinforced slab that spans the Fulton Irrigation Ditch which runs parallel to CR 27. Between
the slab and the edge of road pavement, there is a gravel apron similar to the adjacent properties each
side of the road. A transmission line on monopoles splits the property into two halves. Adjoining the
property to the north is a rural residence and outbuildings. The internal road appears to provide access
to the transmission line corridor and terminates at Highway 85 with a locked swing gate, likely having a
historic use but appears to not be used currently. The north half of the property has remnant cabbage
heads and the south half of the property is in weeds growing to about 3 -feet in height.
Outbound traffic has good visibility in both directions. There is a farm gate adjacent to the north edge of
the access drive. There is not a south swing gate.
Signature
❑ Access to Property, reinforced concrete over ditch graveled and graded
