SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
Kim Ogle Hearing Date: June 21, 2016
USR16-0012
Rosa Melida Chicas-Arriaza; Bulldog Trucking, LLC
do Winters Hellerich & Hughes LLC by Thomas Hellerich, Esq. & David Skarka, Esq.
4699 "F" Street, Greeley, Colorado 80631
A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Use Permit 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 (parking, staging and storage of commercial
vehicles and 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 in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
Part of the N2SW4 of Section 35, Township 6 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M.,
County of Weld, State of Colorado
Approximately one mile west of North 35th Avenue; north of and adjacent to "F" Street
+/- 1.34 acres Parcel No. 0805-35-0-00-044
The property is proposed for the base of operations for the Bulldog Trucking Company. This company
hauls aggregate and road making materials to construction sites. Typically the trucks head out in March /
April and return to the property in October / November at the end of the construction season. Rarely are
there trucks present on site between this period, however, occasionally up to three trucks may be present
during the construction season months weather and work load permitting. The proposed facility will have
no full time employees on site for business operations and up to 17 drivers may access the property.
Currently the property has a residence and a personal utility building on site. Planning staff has received
two telephone calls of inquiry and has received no letters of opposition.
THE 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.
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 23-2-220.A.1. A.Policy 7.1.
USR16-0012 BULLDOG TRUCKING, Page 2 of 9
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." Bulldog Trucking
intends to provide parking, staging and storage of their company vehicles and equipment
to the north of their single family residence. The site is located in an area that allows good
access on paved roads to the construction areas.
Section 22-2-1OO.E. C.Goal 5. States "Minimize the incompatibilities that occur between
commercial uses and surrounding properties." The proposed facility borders a former
gravel mine and farther to the north is the Martin Marietta gravel mine. Adjacent to the west
are lands owned and annexed by the City of Greeley. Lands to the south of F Street are
in Weld County and consist of single family residential development with pasture lands.
Given the intensity of the proposal, staff will require the outdoor storage/staging of vehicles
to be screened; a Parking Plan to address the parking location on the property to mitigate
the impacts of noise and exhaust onto neighboring properties and as a condition of
approval the site lighting will be directed downward and away from neighboring properties.
B. Section 23-2-22O.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural) Zone District. Section 23-3-4O.S of the Weld County Code lists any use
permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the
Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts (Bulldog Trucking Company intends to provide
parking, staging and storage of the company vehicles and 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.
C. Section 23-2-22O.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. The surrounding properties located adjacent to the west
are lands owned and annexed by the City of Greeley, part of the property is utilized for the
Rover Run Dog Park; to the north is a former mineral resource development facility for
gravel mining and farther to the north is the Great Western Railroad and Martin Marietta
(AmUSR-247) gravel mine; all lands north of F Street have been annexed in the City of
Greeley. The land use to the south of F Street are for single family residences and a large
pasture. As previously stated, staff is requiring the outdoor storage /staging of vehicles to
be screened; a Parking Plan to address the parking location on the property to mitigate the
impacts of noise and exhaust onto neighboring properties and as a condition of approval
the site lighting will be directed downward and away from neighboring properties.
Section 23-2-22O.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 three miles of the City of Greeley who returned a
referral dated April 21, 2016 providing several advisory comments on the site location
within the City of Greeley's Long Range Expected Growth Area, a conflict with the City of
Greeley's 2060 Comprehensive Plan that identifies this area for natural uses such as
parklands and open space; landscape criteria adjacent to roadways and screening of the
property from adjacent City of Greeley open space. The referral also noted that F Street
is identified as a two lane collector roadway in the City of Greeley's 2035 Transportation
Master Plan which requires 90 feet of right-of-way at full buildout.
E. Section 23-2-22O.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Article V, of the Weld
County Code. The existing site is not located within the 100 -year Floodplain, Airport or
Geologic hazard areas. The property is located within the County -Wide Road Impact Fee
Area and the Capital Expansion Impact Fee area.
USR16-0012 BULLDOG TRUCKING, Page 3 of 9
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.
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 1.34 acres designated "Prime" (Irrigated)
land per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map.
The site does not have irrigation water rights and there are improvements on site, therefore
no prime farm ground will be removed from the County.
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.

applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.

29. 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.
30. 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
USR16-0012 BULLDOG TRUCKING, Page 8 of 9
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.

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
