Planner: Diana Aungst Hearing Date: October 6, 2015
Case Number: USR15-0042
Applicant: Drill Green, LLC
Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Mineral
Resource Development Facilities, Oil and Gas Support and Service, (office/shop and
storage of vehicles and equipment) in the A(Agricultural)Zone District
Legal Lot B of Recorded Exemption RECX15-0112 being Part E2SE4 Section 33, T3N,
Description: R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
Location: Approximately 225 feet west of CR 31 and approximately 1200 feet north of CR 26
Size of Parcel: +/- 61.72 acres Parcel No. 1211-33-4-00-020
Case Summary:
The applicant is requesting a Use by Special Review permit for an office/shop and storage of vehicles
and equipment. The majority of the 60 employees will be on site to retrieve equipment and then proceed
to the job sites. Once the 20,000 square foot office/shop is constructed there will be 5 full time
employees. The hours of operation are proposed to be 24 hours a day 7 days a week. A section of the
site will be fenced with a 6 foot chain-link security fence and fence-mounted security-lighting. No
landscaping is proposed. Staff is not requesting any screening because of the remote location of the site
and because the nearest neighbor is about 800 feet south of the southern property line and approximately
a quarter mile south of the storage area.
This case is an active Zoning Violation (ZCV15-00073) which was initiated due to the presence of a
commercial operation without first completing the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. If this
application is approved by the Board of County Commissioners and a plat is recorded this violation will be
corrected. 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.
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,
USR15-0042
Page 2 of 9
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 business is truck parking for the parking of pick-up trucks and storage of oil and gas
related equipment. A future 20,000 square foot shop is proposed. The majority of the 60
employees will be on site to retrieve equipment and then proceed to the job sites. No
landscaping is proposed. Due to the remote location of the site and the fact that the
nearest neighbor is 800 feet south of the southern property line and approximately a
quarter mile south of the storage area staff is not requesting any screening.
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.A.2. which allows a Site Specific
Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Mineral Resource Development
Facilities, Oil and Gas Support and Service, (office/shop and storage of vehicles and
equipment) 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 lands consist of pastures, crops, and rural residences. The closest
residence is approximately 800 feet south of the southern boundary. There are four (4)
USRs within one mile of this site. USR-1236 for powerlines and SUB-399 for a 200 head
dairy are located to the northeast of the site. USR-1732 for a kennel and USR-1504 for
an airstrip are located to the southeast of the site. The Weld County Department of
Planning Services has not received any correspondence from the surrounding property
owners that object to this Use by Special Review (USR).
The Development Standards and Conditions of Approval for this proposal will assist in
mitigating the impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties.
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 area of the Town of Platteville. The
Town of Platteville in their referral comments, dated August 4, 2015, indicated that they
have no concerns. The site is not located within an Intergovernmental Agreement Area
(IGA)of a municipality.
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 soils designated as "Prime if they become Irrigated"
and "Other" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County
Map. The proposed Use by Special Review (USR) will not take any Prime (Irrigated)
Farmland out of production.
USR15-0042
Page 3 of 9
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.

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
USR15-0042
Page 8 of 9
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.
