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 22-2-20.G - A.Goal 7 states, "County land use regulations should protect the
individual property owner's right to request a land use change." And Section 22-2-20.G.2
- 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 applicant is requesting a USR for the manufacture and sale of organic skin care
products. The site will be also used as an event center for classes, retreats, weddings,
and a day spa. The application materials state there will be a total of 95,534.90 square
feet of buildings. The primary residence (apartment) will be part of the main building
which will also include a handcrafting (processing) area, retail, events center, and
catering kitchen. The second residence, about 800 square feet in size, will be a detached
single-family home. There will be a 6 -unit employee housing shown on the USR map as
building #E which will be 2,500 square feet in size. The application materials show a spa
and a pump house, both 1,000 square feet in size, and a greenhouse 2,500 square feet
in size. As part of the future development of the site an 80,000 square foot warehouse is
proposed.
The application materials state that there will be 12 employees at full buildout. The hours
of operation are proposed to be 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. (midnight) 7 -days a week from
March 1 to October 31 and 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Tuesday thru Sunday from November
1 to February 28/29. Adequate parking is being proposed and the new landscaping will
consist of 11 trees along the road on either side of the main entry. The 37 outdoor lights
on the site will vary in height and shielded and downcast. Three signs are proposed one
freestanding sign and two building mounted signs.
The nature of the business, the shielded lighting, and the landscaping will assist in
mitigating the impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties. The subject site is in an
area that can support this development and is compatible with the region.
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., 23-3-40.N., 23-3-40.M., and 23-3-40.X.
which allows for a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review 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 (manufacture/handcraft organic skin care
products, catering kitchen, office, event center for classes, retreats, weddings, day spa,
greenhouse, retail sales, and a warehouse) 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, processing, one (1) single-family dwelling unit
per lot other than those permitted under Section 23-3-20.A. (second single-family
dwelling unit), and multi -family dwellings for persons principally employed at or engaged
in farming, ranching or gardening (6 -unit multi -family dwelling) 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.

Page3 of 10
The adjacent lands consist of pastures, crops, rural residences. The Wild Animal
Sanctuary is north of and adjacent and east of and adjacent to the site. The closest
residence is located southeast of the site on the east side of CR 53 approximately 150
feet east of the site and about one -quarter (1/4) mile from the main building. The Weld
County Department of Planning Services has received two letters of objection from the
surrounding property owners concerning this USR. The letters outline concerns about
traffic, litter, and the size of the business.
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 a three (3) mile referral area of Adams County and is not within
an Intergovernmental Agreement Area (IGA) of any municipality. Adams County did not
respond with referral comments.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Articles V and XI, of
the Weld County Code.

prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
The proposed facility is located on approximately 29.00 acres of soils designated as
"Other" and approximately 6 acres of soils designated as "High Potential Dry Cropland -
Prime if they Become Irrigated" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important
Farmlands of Weld County Map. The USR will not take any "Prime (Irrigated)" farmland
out of production.
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.

30. 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.
31. 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
USR16-0024
Page 9 of 10
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, sand burs, 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.

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
