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.G.7 - 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 surrounding properties consist of rural residential properties located within the Wattenberg
Townsite and several residences are in close proximity to this proposed facility. There are twenty-
seven (27) parcels within 500 feet of the property. Section 23-2-240.A.10 states "Buffering or
screening of the proposed use from adjacent properties may be required in order to make the
determination that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding uses." The proposed use is in
an area that can support this development and the existing and proposed 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.S allows for any use permitted as a use by right, an accessory use, or a Use

Wattenberg with several residences in close proximity, and North of County Road 6 are lands utilized
for agricultural 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 the Cities of Brighton and Fort Lupton and
Adams County. The city of Fort Lupton in their response to the Coordinated Panning Agreement
referral comments, dated March 28, 2017 indicated the property is located in an area covered by our
[Fort Lupton] IGA with Brighton, so we [Fort Lupton] do not have any comments on the application.
The city of Brighton and Adams County did not respond.
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 or the Airport Overlay District. The
property is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area. A referral response was received from the
Weld County Department of Planning Services — Floodplain planner indicating a Flood Hazard
Development permit is required to be submitted and approved for the use and no outdoor storage of
floatables is allowed in the floodplain. Finally, if the structure on the site is being utilized as living
quarters it will need to comply with FEMA regulations regarding residential structures in the floodplain.
Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County -Wide
Road Impact Fee, Program. 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 "Other Land" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important
Farmlands of Weld County Map.
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.
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 Planning Commission recommendation for approval is conditional upon the following:
1. Prior to recording the USR Map:

39. 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.
40. 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
RESOLUTION USR17-0071
DAYTON ST, LLC, CIO RICHARD BAUER, MIDWEST AUTO BODY
PAGE 9
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.
