Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Any Use Permitted
as a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts, (Event Center for
up to 200 people, along with an office and shop for tack sales) provided that the property is
not a lot in an approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots part of a map or plan filed prior
to the adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone
District.
Legal Lot A of Recorded Exemption RE -4329: located in Part NE4 of Section 10, T2N, R65W of
Description: the 6th PM, Weld County.
Location:
Approximately 0.8 mile north of County Road 22 and approximately 2.1 miles west of County
Road 49. Access point off nearest County Road is County Road 22 approximately 2.5 miles
west of County Road 49.

Case Summary:
The applicant is proposing a 6,200 square foot event center for up to 200 people. Events such as
weddings and quinceaneras are the most common proposed uses for the facility. Additionally the
applicant is proposing an office and small shop for tack sales. The applicants are also proposing a riding
arena, practice track, barns and pasture for up to 40 horses. The authorized agent for the applicant
indicated that the riding arena and practice track would not be used for commercial rodeos and horse
racing events through this USR. The number of horses proposed onsite meets the use by right standard
of 4 horses per acre in the A (Agricultural) zone district. The access to the site is via a private access. A
non-exclusive right-of-way easement between the applicant and the Farmer's Reservoir and Irrigation
Company was recorded in 2008 for this access. The easement does not limit the use of the access to
specific uses. The Farmer's Reservoir and Irrigation Company was notified of this application via the
referral process and has not provided a response.
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:
USR16-0029 - Bonilla Page 3
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.B.2. A.Policy 2.2. states "Allow commercial and industrial uses, which
are directly related to or dependent upon agriculture, to locate within agricultural areas
when the impact to surrounding properties is minimal or mitigated and where adequate
services and infrastructure are currently available or reasonably obtainable. These
commercial and industrial uses should be encouraged to locate in areas that minimize
the removal of agricultural land from production."
The proposed site is located in a rural, agricultural area, and is proposing to utilize an
existing access off of County Road 22 that is utilized by the existing single-family
residence and business (owned by the applicant) to the west of the site. Conditions of
approval (improvements agreement) and development standards (noise limits...) will
address impacts associated with this use.
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 by Special Review in the commercial or industrial zone
districts 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 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.
Rezoning the property to commercial would open up the possibility of a variety of different
commercial uses being allowed to operate on the property as a use by right. The Use by
Special Review permit is limited to this specific use. There is an access permit that has
been granted (AP16-00370) - the proposed use is required to use the existing access
point on County Road 22 (8,000 feet to the west of County Road 41). No additional
accesses (including the access on County Road 45 section line further to the east) are
approved to the utilized for this use.
Two single-family residences are located approximately 1,600 feet to the southeast.
One letter of concern/objection has been received from an adjacent property owner. A
summary of concerns mentioned in the letter include:
• Commercial operations should be done through a change of zone process vs. a
USR.
• Events have been occurring on the property and on at least one (1) occasion the
private access to the east of the facility shared by neighboring visitors has been
used.
• Farmer's Ditch needs to be notified of this use and the USR should not proceed
until any additional fees for use of the access (if required) are collected by the ditch
company.
• Drinking and trash on the site need to be controlled and a plan needs to be in place
to address these issues.
• How will the sanitation capacity of 2,000 gallons per day be monitored for
compliance?
• Noise - what are hours of operation - will night events occur that will generate
noise?
Staff also received one phone call - expressing concern that events have been
regularly occurring on this property.
USR16-0029 - Bonilla Page 4
There is not a pending zoning violation for operation of events on the property (no
zoning violation complaint has been submitted).
Rezoning the property to commercial would open up the possibility of a variety of
different commercial uses being allowed to operate on the property as a use by right.
The Use by Special Review permit is limited to this specific use. Per the nuisance
management plan (submitted with the application): trash will be collected in a covered,
confined trash dumpster and will be removed weekly by Waste Management or
alternate trash removal company. There is an access permit that has been granted
(AP16-00370) - the proposed use is required to use the existing access point on
County Road 22 (8,000 feet to the west of County Road 41). No additional accesses
(including the existing access on the County Road 45 section line further to the east)
are approved to be utilized for this use.
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 Town of Hudson. The
Town of Hudson in their referral comments, dated August 10, 2016 indicated that they
have no concerns.
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 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.
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 15 acres delineated as Irrigated "Prime"
per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map.
Agricultural related uses are proposed for the property (Horse riding arena, horse
practice track barns and pasture) are proposed for this site in addition to the event center.
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.

31. 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.
32. 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
USR16-0029 - Bonilla Page 10
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.

PART NE4 SECTION 10, T2N, R65W LOT REC EXEMPT RE -4329 OF THE 6TH P.M., WELD
COUNTY, COLORADO.
Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on October 4, 2016, at 12:30
p.m. A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on October 19, 2016
at 10:00 a.m. Both hearings will be held in the Hearing Room, Weld County Administration Building,
1150 O Street, Greeley, Colorado. It is recommended that you and/or a representative be in
attendance to answer any questions the Planning Commission members or Board of County
Commissioners may have.
Colorado Revised Statute, C.R.S.24-65.5-103 (adopted as part of H.B.01-1088) requires notification of
all mineral estate owners 30 days prior to any public hearing. The applicant needs to provide the Weld
County Planning Department with written certification indicating the above requirement has been met.
A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of ten
days prior to the hearing to post a sign adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road
right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not
adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent place
on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive) intersects a
publicly maintained road right-of-way.
