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 23-2-20. 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 A.Policy 7.3 states " Conversion of
agricultural land to urban residential, commercial and industrial uses should be
considered when the subject site is located inside an Intergovernmental Agreement area,
Urban Growth Boundary area, Regional Urbanization Area or Urban Development
Nodes, or where adequate services are currently available or reasonably obtainable. A
USR15-0009 DANIEL AND REBECCA GUZMAN, Page 3 of 10
municipality's adopted comprehensive plan should be considered, but should not
determine the appropriateness of such conversion. The property is located in the City of
Greeley's Long Range Expected Growth Area, a designated area where the City
anticipates development occurring in the next twenty plus years. In development of the
site, the Greeley referral comments address preferred site improvements, many of which
will be addressed in this staff report as requirements prior to recording the USR map.
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 at the
intersection of East 16th Street and Balsam Avenue. An approved access permit
delineates a shared access for the residence and business from Balsam Avenue. As a
condition of approval staff will be requiring a Screening Plan to screen outdoor
storage/staging of vehicles, a Parking Plan to address parking location on the property to
mitigate the impacts of noise, exhaust onto neighboring properties and a Lighting Plan to
direct lights downward and away from neighboring properties as a condition of approval
prior to recording the USR map.
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.W of the Weld County Code lists for uses
similar to the uses listed as Uses by Special Review in the Agriculture Zone District
(trucking company along with outside equipment/vehicle storage and staging of vehicles
associated with Guzman trucking), as long as the use complies with the general intent of
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 surrounding land use include two trucking operations
to the north (SPR14-0016 and USR-1726; a concrete batching operation (SPR-217) and
vehicle storage and parking area for oilfield equipmentPR-350); to the south is or vehicle
storage (SPR-353); and to the east is a trash business and parking for trucks and
containers (USR-1108). There are several residences in the immediate area, with
residences located adjacent to the property in each direction. As previously stated, staff
is requiring a Screening Plan to screen outdoor storage/staging of vehicles, a Parking
Plan to address parking location on the property to mitigate the impacts of noise, exhaust
headlight sweep of residences onto neighboring properties and a Lighting Plan to direct
lights downward and away from neighboring properties as a condition of approval prior to
recording the USR map. As of March 27, 2015 the Department of Planning Services has
not received any comments from surrounding property owners with concerns or
comments on this land use application.
C. 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 three miles of the City of Greeley, city of
Garden City, City of Evans and Town of Kersey. The City of Greeley returned a referral
dated March 10, 2015 stating that the property was located in the City of Greeley's Long
Range Expected Growth Area and the City anticipates community development occurring
in this area in the next twenty years. Additional comments addressed site development
and a request for future right-of-way on both East 16`h Street and Balsam Avenues. The
City of Garden City inn their referral dated February 13, 2015 and the Town of Kersey in
their referral dated February 18, 2015 indicated no conflict with their interests. The City
of Evans did not respond to the referral request.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Article V, of the Weld
County Code. The existing site is not located within the Floodplain or Geologic hazard
area. It is located in the Airport Overlay area associated with the Greeley-Weld county
USR15-0009 DANIEL AND REBECCA GUZMAN, Page 4 of 10
Airport. The property is located 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 4 acres designated "Other" per the
1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map.
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.

22. 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.
USR15-0009 DANIEL AND REBECCA GUZMAN, Page 9 of 10
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.
