property owner's right to request a land use change." And 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 applicant is requesting a USR for a doggie daycare and boarding kennel to be located within the
proposed 80 -foot by 40 -foot structure. The application materials state there will individual kennels inside
the building. No new landscaping is proposed as the property is enclosed by mature trees and shrubs as
a visual and sound barrier. A fenced enclosure located adjacent to the south property line will serve as
the exercise yard for the dogs. The current grounds and drive way will support adequate parking spaces
for employees and customer vehicle parking. No outside storage will occur at the site. Any site lighting or
signs will need to comply with the Weld County Code requirements. The subject site is in an area that
can support this development and is compatible with the region.

approximately 0.5 miles east of Suburban Residential designation in an area identified as rural
residential on the Town's Future Land Use Map dated July 2017.
The Town of Severance in their undated Notice of Inquiry comments required per the Coordinated
Planning Agreement between the Town and Weld County stated If the applicant is interested, the
Town would encourage annexation as the property is within the Town's Growth Management Area
(GMA). The Town requests the opportunity to comment on the Site Layout Plan specific to parking,
landscape treatment and building footprints." The Town's referral dated May 3, 2018 requested the
applicant provide a copy of their Landscape Plan including the sign component for review and

comment.
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 Section 23-3-40.H. which allows for a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special
Review Permit for a Kennel (up to 30 dogs, six (6) months of age or older to include doggie daycare and
boarding) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
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 rural residences and large tracts of land in production agriculture, including
many with center pivots. There are rural residences located immediately northwest, north east and west of
the site. The adjacent parcels were created through the Recorded Exemption application process.
There are several USRs within one mile of the site; immediately to the east is SUP -102 and SUP -320 for
Cattle Feedlot operations and USR-1183 for a high pressure natural gas pipeline. The Weld County
Department of Planning Services has not received any letters of objection from surrounding property
owners concerning this USR. Planning staff did receive a telephone call seeking information of
compatibility of this facility with the encroaching residential development planned for the Town.
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 a three (3) mile referral area of the City of Greeley, Town of Windsor and
Town of Severance. The City of Greeley in their referral dated April 18, 2018 stated that the application
was reviewed and the city found no conflicts with their interest The Town of Windsor in their referral
dated April 17, 2018 stated " ... this is located outside the Town's GMA and the Town has no comment
on the above referral. Thank you for the opportunity to review." The Town of Severance in their referral
dated May 3, 2018 stated "The Town of Severance does not have a problem with proposed use. During
the Pre -application referral period the Town requested to see any landscape plans. At this point the Town
has not seen any plans, but would request that the applicant consider some landscape and signage at
the main entrance to the property."
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 in a floodplain. 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 proposed facility is located on approximately 3.36 acre of soils designated as "Irrigated Land Not
Prime" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. As the entire
property has improvements on site consisting of one residence, landscaped grounds, and support
structures the proposed USR will not take any "Prime (Irrigated)" farmland out of production.
G. Section 23-2-220A7 -- 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

34. 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 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.
35. 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
RESOLUTION USR18-0038
SARAH & BRIAN CARR
PAGE 9
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.
