be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners 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 Planning Commission 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 23-2-220.A.1. A. Policy 7.1. states "County land use regulations should support commercial
and industrial uses that are directly related to, or dependent upon, agriculture, to locate within the
agricultural areas, when the impact to surrounding properties is minimal, or can be mitigated, and
where adequate services are currently available or reasonably obtainable."
The fence company including office, parking, storage and staging areas are already permitted and the
additional oil and gas support and service component, including trucks and associated exploration,
production or workover are presently parked on site. Access is to a paved road and is located in an
area that allows good access to the oil field areas.
Section 22-2-100. E. C.Goal 5. States "Minimize the incompatibilities that occur between commercial
uses and surrounding properties." The existing facility has a six foot vinyl privacy fence surrounding
the service yard and has a gated single point of access onto a county maintained road and as a
condition of approval the lights will be directed downward and away from neighboring properties.
Staff will also restrict the hours of operation, maintenance and on -site commercial activity to 5:00am
to 10:00pm Monday through Saturday.
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.

storage and parking and maintenance of exploration, production or workover equipment) 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 property consists of the Greathouse residence and outbuildings and the existing Majestic Fence
Company office and fenced service yard permitted via USR-1366. Lands to the North are in irrigated
production agriculture with a single family residence; to the east is the Greathouse RV, Boat, Camper

agriculture and lands to the east have a residence and outbuildings and agricultural lands.
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 Larimer County, the City of Greeley and the
Towns of Milliken and Johnstown. The City of Greeley in a letter dated March 16, 2017 indicated that
they have no concerns; the Town of Milliken in a letter dated March 30, 2017 indicated no conflict with
their interests. The Town of Johnstown and Larimer County Planning did not return a referral
response.
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/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 existing building and fenced service yard is located on approximately 3 acres Prime Agriculture
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.

27. 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.
28. 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 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.
