Department of Public Health and Environment CASE NO.: COZ14-0007 NAME: Luther Rentals Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal to rezone 8.5 acres from the C-3 (Business Commercial) Zone District to the I-1 (Industrial) Zone District. The City of Greeley provides water (meter 09216215) and an individual septic system provides sewage disposal to the existing residence on site (G19700604). A septic permit application has been received that will serve the existing office building and the existing house (SP-1400350). The system is sized for 30 full time employees and 50 drivers. The proposed building on the east lot will be served by the City of Greeley for water and an individual septic system. Once a site plan review is submitted, this Division will require specific items such as; dust and waste handling plans. The Department recommends that the following conditions be part of any approval: Prior to recording the plat: 1. Septic permit SP-1400350 shall receive final approval from Environmental Health Services. The following should appear as notes on the change of zone plat: 1. Water service shall be obtained from the City of Greeley. 2. The parcels are not served by a municipal sanitary sewer system. Sewage disposal shall be by septic systems designed in accordance with the regulations of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division and the Weld County Code in effect at the time of construction, repair, replacement, or modification of the system. 3. Language for the preservation and/or protection of the absorption field shall be placed on the plat. The note shall state; Activity or use on the surface of the ground over any part of the OWTS must be restricted to that which shall allow the system to function as designed and which shall not contribute to compaction of the soil or to structural loading detrimental to the structural integrity or capability of the component to function as designed. 4. During development of the site, all land disturbances shall be conducted so that nuisance conditions are not created. If dust emissions create nuisance conditions, at the request of the Weld County Health Department, a fugitive dust control plan must be submitted. 5. If land development exceeds 6 months in duration, the responsible party shall prepare a fugitive dust control plan, submit an air pollution emissions notice, and apply for a permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. 6. Weld County's "Right to Farm" as provided in Appendix 22-E of the Weld County Code shall be placed on any recorded plat. 7.

MEMORANDUM y To: Chris Gathman, Planner December 2, 2014 From: Bethany Salzman, Zoning Compliance Officer Subject: COZ14-0007 Referral Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV14-00167)was noted. This violation was initiated due to the operation of commercial oil&gas related business and storage of related equipment without first completing the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has not been presented to the Weld County Court Magistrate through the Violation Hearing process. Since this application was submitted prior to an actual court date being scheduled, NO investigation fee is required. Due to records release laws, staff no longer tracks complainant information, but please be aware it is staff's policy to no longer accept staff initiated complaints. If this application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners and once a plat is recorded, this would partially correct the violation. There are still site specific land use permits which are required after and if the change of zone is approved. If this application is denied,the commercial vehicles, storage and all operations shall be removed from the property within 30 (thirty) days of denial or the violation will proceed in court accordingly.

City of Greeley has concerns that the industrial use of the oil and gas equipment storage facility is in close proximity to Bella Romero Elementary School off of East 20th Street. Although not directly adjacent to the school,please consider the high degree of incompatibility that the use would bring to the area and the school. Best Zoning practices suggest that gradual change, through zoning steps, from one extreme to the other is more ideal than what might perhaps become a hodgepodge of disparate zones in this area.

General Comments ❑ Advisory. The site is within City of Greeley's Long Range Expected Growth Area. Traffic ❑ City of Greeley's 2035 Comprehensive Transportation Plan indicates that Highway 34 Business will be a 2 lane minor arterial roadway along the north side of the rezoning map boundary, requiring a 100 foot total right of way (50 foot half right of way). Please ensure that the rezoning map calls out 20 feet of future right of way south of and adjacent to the existing 30 foot half right of way of Highway 34 Business and that all proposed structures are set back a minimum of 25 feet from the future right of way line. ❑ The submitted rezone application indicates that a traffic study is being generated for the associated special use permit application for the site. Please provide a copy of the traffic study to City of Greeley as soon as it is available. ❑ Advisory. The number of access points along minor arterial roadways should be minimized. If there are any opportunities to combine access points, they should be pursued. Water and Sewer ❑ Advisory. The City of Greeley currently provides water service to both parcels proposed to be rezoned via 3/4 inch water taps. Page 2 of 3 ❑ The eastern (1510 East Highway 34) water service is currently considered a residential water service. Once a new building is constructed and the use becomes non-residential, the water service will be considered non-residential and water consumption will be subject to the annual water surcharge. ❑ Non-residential water uses require the property owner to install the appropriate backflow prevention assemblies on the domestic service lines. Please note that these assemblies must be tested by a certified tester upon installation and a copy of the test report needs to be submitted. Annual re-testing of all backflow assemblies is required by Federal and State Health Department regulations implemented through City ordinance for cross- connection control. The following internet address provides a list of certified testers for backflow assemblies: http://greeleygov.com/Water/Documents/backflow list.pdf Backflow assembly test and maintenance reports can be mailed to the City of Greeley Water and Sewer Department at 1100 10th Street 3`d Floor, Greeley, CO 80631, faxed to 970-350-9805, or emailed to chrissy.lutz(cgrceleygov.com. ❑ A Conceptual Site Plan provided to the Water and Sewer Department indicates that site improvements may be proposed in locations that would interfere with the existing water services. Please make sure these services, including the existing curb stops and water meters, are located and shown on the Site Plan and that the plans call for relocation of the service(s), curb stop(s), and meter(s) if necessary. The curb stops and meters should be located in landscaped areas whenever possible. Fire ❑ Please contact our Fire Marshal as soon as possible to discuss the specifics of the proposed building and potential fire protection requirements.
