Case Summary:
Circle B Land Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bill Barrett Corporation (BBC) proposes
to construct an oil and gas support and services facility on its property located east of the intersection of
County Road 52 and County Road 89 in Weld County. The property is 74 acres and is zoned A
(Agriculture). The site will be used exclusively by BBC for the storage of oil and gas production related
equipment. The storage yard will be a permanent facility and will operate year round, and 24 hours a
day 7 days a week. Approximately 10-20 delivery trucks will access the facility on a daily basis for the
purpose of delivering or picking up equipment. There will also be 2 tractor-trailers per week going into
and out of the facility. The site is unmanned; as such the vehicle trips into and out of the site will be
sporadic and depend on business activity. The support and service facility will be surrounded by a
six-foot tall chain link fence.
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 22-2-10.D states"Extraction of natural resources is an important part of the
economy of the County. Such extraction operations should minimize the impacts to
agricultural lands and agricultural operations." The storage yard will support oil and gas
related activities in the surrounding region. It will be located on lands owned by BBC's
USR15-0078, Circle B Land Company LW, Page 2 of 8
subsidiary that are currently non-irrigated rangeland located in a rural area with existing
oil and gas activity.
Section 22-2-100.E. C.Goal 5. States "Minimize the incompatibilities that occur between
commercial uses and surrounding properties." The proposed facility is located in a
sparsely occupied area of the County and is surrounded by dryland agricultural properties
having low density residential development and oil and gas encumbrances.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural)Zone District.
The facility is classified as an Oil and Gas Support and Service facility. Section 23-3-
40.A.2 of the Weld County Code states that these facilities are uses allowed to be
constructed, occupied, operated and maintained and Section 23-3-40.BB allows for
more than one cargo container as an accessory structure in the A (Agricultural) Zone
District upon approval of the Special Review Permit.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
The proposed facility is surrounded by dryland prairie and dryland agricultural
properties comprised of very low-density development and oil and gas wells. The NGL
Water Solutions DJ, LLC C-11 Class II Brinewater Disposal Facility is located
immediately adjacent to this site. There are nine properties and thirteen property owners
within five hundred feet of the proposed facility. Rural residential properties are 1.5 to 2
miles west of the proposed facility. The Department of Planning Services has received
no telephone calls or correspondence regarding this land use application.
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 not located within a three (3) mile referral area of any municipality, nor is it
located within any existing Intergovernmental Agreement Area (IGA) of a municipality.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 --The application complies with Chapter 23, Article V and XI, of the
Weld County Code. The existing site is within the County-Wide Road Impact Fee Area
and the Capital Expansion Impact Fee area.
The site is not within 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.
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 80 acres of"Other" Lands per the 1979
Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map, and therefore will
not be taking Prime Farmland out of production.
G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 — There is adequate provisions for the protection of the health,
USR15-0078, Circle B Land Company LW, Page 3 of 8

25. 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.
USR15-0078, Circle B Land Company LLC, Page 7 of 8
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
26. 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.
