A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Use Permit, USR17-0018 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 (outside recreational vehicle, boat and water
craft parking, storage and staging), 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
Part of the W3 S2 lying north of the south line of the New Brantner Ditch in Section 3,
Township 1 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado
Location: North of and adjacent to County Road 12 Section Line, East of and adjacent to County
Road 19
Size of Parcel: +1- 63.93 acres Parcel No. 1469-03.0-00-011
Case Summary:
The property is located within the Interim Coordinated Planning Area for the City of Dacono. The City in
their initial comments to the County determined the use would not be supported if located with the
Dacono City Limits.
The applicant proposes to construct on an unimproved parcel a screened outdoor recreational vehicle,
boat and water craft parking, storage and staging area. The property will be secured with a 6 -foot
chain link fence and automatic keypad entry/exit gate. Initially there will be one employee on site to
operate the storage facility and eventually up to three employees could be on site. Employees will meet
new customers at the site during normal business hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through
Saturday. Driving surfaces will be covered with recycle asphalt. At full buildout the site will
accommodate 876 vehicles. There will be no washing or maintenance of the vehicles or boats
allowed on the site.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
DENIED 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 not 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 not consistent with Chapter 22 and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
USR17-0018, Harold and Linda Amerin, Page 3 of 10
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 site is located within the three (3) mile referral area of Towns of Frederick, Firestone and
Cities of Fort Lupton and Dacono. The Town of Firestone did not return a referral. The Town of
Frederick in their referral dated March 16, 2017 indicated that they have no concerns and the City
of Fort Lupton in their referral comments, dated March 23, 2017 indicated that this property is
within the City's Three Mile Plan and amended Comprehensive Plan area and the City would like
the opportunity to discuss [the] potential for annexation. In an electronic mail from Mr. Todd
Hodges, City of Fort Lupton Planning Department dated February 9, 2016 he states "As
discussed yesterday, attached is our land use application form with the costs associated
with applications. We can discuss the details if your client wishes to discuss the option
of annexing into Fort Lupton vs. going through the Weld County process." The City of
Dacono indicated that this property is within the City's Comprehensive Planning Boundary and
the use is not allowed in the City.
B. 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 City of Dacono returned a signed Notice of Inquiry received March 1, 2016 stating their
objection to the proposed development, as the use (outside recreational vehicle parking) is not an
allowed use in the City. Section 19-2-60.C.8 states "If a the City of Dacono's objection to or
recommendation of disapproval of a Development proposal is based upon a conflict or
incompatibility between proposed uses in the Development and the City of Dacono's anticipated
zoning classification for the property, the County will not approve same ...." The City of Dacono
in their referral dated April 3, 2017, states the "pursuant to Dacono Municipal Code, Chapter 16,
Article 29 outdoor storage shall only be permitted as an accessory use. Additionally, in no case
shall the storage or parking of trailers, boats, RV recreational vehicles, vehicles, semi -trailers,
cargo containers or shipping containers outdoors, or the warehousing of goods in such
containers, be permitted as the principle use.
In the City of Dacono, outdoor storage means the keeping of inventory, goods, material, or
merchandise, including raw, semi -finished, and finished materials for any period of time, and as
an accessory to the primary use of the establishment, typically retail. Storage related to a
residential use, required vehicular parking areas, nurseries, and the sale of automobiles or other
vehicles shall not be considered such.
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.

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 (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.
35. 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
USR17-0018, Harold and Linda Amerin, Page 9 of 10
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
✓ isual 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
o peration 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
o pen 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.

Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on May 16, 2017, at 12:30 p.m.
A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on June 14, 2017 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.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to
the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to the
scheduled Planning Commission hearing. You may view the staff report at
