Request: 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 (employee and commercial vehicle parking and
machinery/tool storage) 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
Legal Being part of the NE4 of Section 35, T5N, R66W and being part of the SE4 of Section
Description: 26, T5N, R66W of the 6th P.M., County of Weld, State of Colorado

Way
Size of Parcel: +/- 1.2 acres Parcel No. 0959-35-0-00-024
Case Summary:
The applicants are requesting a Use by Special Review permit for a commercial trucking operation. No
signage is proposed at this time. The applicants have proposed screening though the application
materials but did not specify the type or height of material. The application materials state that there will
be twenty (20) to thirty (30) employees. The hours of operation are proposed to be Monday through
Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. per the submitted application materials. The site is neither in a Special
Flood Hazard Area nor a Geologic Hazard Area.
This site is not in any established Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) area between the City and the
County, however, the site is within the City of Evans' Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), and the property's
northern, eastern, and southern boundaries directly adjoin the City. Further, the City has annexed 49th
Street and the 35th Avenue Right-of-Way. The City of Evans has commented on this proposed Use By
Special Review permit and has stated that this land use application request presents "...significant
concerns with compatibility of [land] use in the area as well as the significant impacts this property will
bring." However, the City stated "for the property in question we will ONLY grant a restricted access to
49th Street, a right-in, right-out access the infrastructure for which can be placed at a later date. The
eastern access (informal dirt access) shall be closed off and blocked due to its short distance from the
49" St[reet] and 35th Ave[nue] intersection." Additionally, with regard to the secondary access the City
stated "It is considered to now be a commercial 'driveway' and thus a restricted 'right in/right out' access
USR14-0074—Enrique and Myrna Carillo
Page 3 of 10
point." The Department of Planning Services has also received letters of opposition and site pictures from
the surrounding property owner directly west of this site.
This case has an active Zoning Violation (ZCV14-00037)which was initiated on March 7, 2014, due to the
presence of a commercial trucking operation without first completing the necessary Weld County zoning
permits. If this application is approved by the Board of County Commissioners, the conditions of approval
are met, and a Use by Special Review Map is recorded, this violation will be cured. If this application is
denied the commercial operation shall be removed from the property within 30 (thirty) days of denial or
the violation will proceed in court accordingly.
History:
A Pre-Application meeting (PRE14-0082)was held with the applicant on March 27, 2014. This meeting
was the result of the active Zoning Violation. The Zoning Violation was initiated by the Code Compliance
Officer due to the presence of a commercial operation without first completing the necessary Weld
County Zoning Permits. A complete Use by Special Review permit application was submitted in
November 2014.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES 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 22-6-20 A. ECON.Goal 1. State: "Encourage the expansion of existing
businesses and the location of new industries that will provide employment opportunities
in the County."
The application materials state that there will be twenty (20) to thirty (30) employees
working for this business.
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 proposing a parking and storage area for employee and commercial
vehicles and associated commercial equipment. The employees will park their personal
vehicles at the site during the hours of operation.
The site will be appropriately screened and no lighting and signage were proposed. The
Development Standards and the Conditions of Approval for this proposal will assist in
mitigating the impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties and ensure compatibility
with surrounding land uses.
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. allows for a Site Specific Development
Plan and Use By Special Review Permit for a use permitted as a Use By Right, an
Accessory Use or a Use By Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts
(outdoor storage of road base, parking of employee vehicles, and parking and storage of
USR14-0074—Enrique and Myrna Carillo
Page 4 of 10
commercial vehicles and associated. 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.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
The adjacent properties are mainly utilized for single family homes to the immediate west
and industrial scale operations to the north, northeast, and east. 49th Street borders the
site on the north and the 35th Avenue Right-of-Way borders the site to the east. The
closest residence is approximately seventy(70)feet west of the west property line.
There are four (4) Use by Special Review Permits located within one mile of this parcel.
USR-1163, for the storage and parking of oil field equipment, is approximately three
hundred (300) feet to the south. USR-848, for a storage facility, is located approximately
eighty (80) feet to the north. USR-600, for a natural gas processing facility, is located
approximately five hundred and forty (540) feet to the east. AmUSR-597, for a natural
gas processing facility, is approximately one hundred and thirty (130) feet to the
northeast.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services has received two letters and pictures
of the site's activities from surrounding property owners stating that they oppose the
activities and hours of operation currently taking place at the site of this Use by Special
Review Permit application. In addition, the Department has received phone calls from
surrounding property owners objecting to this application due to compatibility and the
removal of a surrounding property owner's fence. Staff has not received any
correspondence from the surrounding property owners that supports this Use by Special
Review Permit. Staff recommended that the applicants conduct a neighborhood meeting
with surrounding property owners. To staff's knowledge, no neighborhood meeting has
been conducted.
The application cites proposed screening and no lighting and signage were proposed.
The Development Standards and the Conditions of Approval for this proposal will assist
in mitigating the impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties and ensure compatibility
with surrounding land uses. Specifically, the proposed screening will mitigate the visual
and noise impacts of this site. The City of Evans' requirement for the closure of this site's
informal dirt access at the southwest corner of the intersection of 49th Street and the 35th
Avenue Right-of-Way and the right in, right out limitations placed on the remaining
access on 49th Street will manage this site's traffic impacts more effectively than its
current configuration.
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 the three (3) mile referral areas of the City of Greeley, the City
of Evans, and the Town of LaSalle. In addition, this site is within the Urban Growth
Boundary (UGB) for the City of Evans. The City of Greeley and Town of LaSalle did not
return referral responses.
Th City of Evans stated in its referral dated December 31, 2014, that the City has
"significant concerns with compatibility of [land] use in the area as well as the significant
impacts this property will bring." Because both 49th Street and the 35th Avenue Right-of-
Way has been annexed, all potential access points for this location are under the City's
jurisdiction. The City's referral stated that the site's informal dirt access, at the corner of
the 49th Street and 35th Avenue Right-of-Way shall be closed. However, the site's
USR14-0074—Enrique and Myrna Carillo
Page 5 of 10
access on 49th Street will now be restricted: the City will "ONLY grant a restricted access
to 49th Street, a right-in, right-out access the infrastructure for which can be placed at a
later date. The eastern access informal dirt access) shall be closed off and blocked due
to its short distance from the 49` St[reet] and 35`h Ave[nue] intersection."
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Article V, of the Weld
County Code. The existing site is within the County-Wide Road Impact Fee Area and the
Capital Expansion Impact Fee area.
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 1.2 acres designated as "Other Land"
per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. This
Use by Special Review permit application will not take any acres of 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.

25. 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, 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.

On parcel(s)of land described as:
PART NE4 SECTION 35, T5N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on March 3, 2015, at 1:30 p.m.
A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on March 18, 2015 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
