Case Summary:
+/- 3.73 acres Parcel No. 070527100075
The applicant is proposing a storage yard for a commercial playground business. The site will store
trailers and construction equipment (such as skid steer loaders) as well as purchased equipment to be
installed. There are three (3) full-time employees with the possibility of three (3) more employees for
summer work. The crews arrive typically around 6:30 AM and return around 5:00 to 6:00 PM to unload
equipment. Bottled water and a portable toilet for employees will be required. If the bathroom in the
existing residence is going to be used then an engineer review of the septic permit will be required. There
is an existing cargo container utilized for tool storage. A building permit is required for a cargo container.
This application was submitted in response to an active zoning violation (ZCV17-00363) due to storage or
playground/outdoor equipment and supplies without first completing the necessary zoning permits.
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 23-2-260
of the Weld County Code.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff 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 22-2-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."
USR18-0016 - Casper
Page 2
The site is located on agricultural zoned land. The northern half of the property contains a
single-family residence. No agricultural land (cropland) is located on this property.
Section 22-2-20.1 A.Goal 9. States: "Reduce potential conflicts between varying land uses
in the conversion of traditional agricultural lands to other land uses."
A number of conditions of approval and development standards are proposed to address
the impacts of this use, including the requirement that the storage area be screened from
adjacent properties.
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 23-340.S delineates any use permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or
a Use by Special Review in the commercial or industrial zone districts (storage yard for
commercial playground and park equipment) provided that the property is not a Lot in an
approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots parts of a map or plan filed prior to adoption
of any regulations controlling subdivisions 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."
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
A single-family residence is located to the northeast of the site, a platted PUD (Coyote
Run) is located immediately to the east (though the adjacent lot is not developed) and is
currently in agricultural production. Cropland is located to the north, east and south of the
site.
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 Cooperative Planning Agreement (IGA) and three (3) mile
referral areas of the Town of Severance and the Town of Windsor. The Town of Windsor
in their referral comments, received April 16, 2018 indicated that they have no concerns.
The Town of Severance in their referral comments, dated May 7, 2018, indicated no
issues but request that a more specific site plan be submitted indicating screening and
setbacks.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Articles V and XI, of
the Weld County Code.
Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the
County -Wide Road Impact Fee Program.
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.
USR18-0016 - Casper
Page 3
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 3.73 acres delineated as "Prime" per
the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The
parcel is only 3.7 acres in size, a residence is located on site and the site is not in
agricultural production.
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.

33. 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.
34. 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 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
USR18-0016 - Casper
Page 9
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.
