Case Summary:
WPD Storage LLC works closely with companies that supply production equipment for the Oil and Gas
industry. To more efficiently supply oil and gas production sites located within the greater Wattenberg
field area, the applicant proposes to construct a storage yard that will be used for the receiving, storing,
and dispatching of new and previously used oil-field equipment, primarily oil and gas separators and
combustors for future utilization. WPD Storage LLC intends to construct two modular offices (one
proposed, one future) onsite to accommodate the site supervisor. In addition two small warehouses (one
proposed, one future) are planned to be installed to perform maintenance on equipment stored on site on
an as-needed basis. There is also a 35-foot tall radio communications tower proposed.
The property is located approximately 0.5 miles south of the Town of Gilcrest and is within the current
Inter-governmental Agreement area recognized by the Town and Weld County. The Town returned the
Notice of Inquiry form indicating "The Town of Gilcrest has no conflict with this proposal and is not
interested in annexation or a pre-annexation agreement at this time."
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:
USR15-0017, Pat Daniel—WPD Storage LLC,Page 2 of 9
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 22-2-100.A. C.Goal 1. Promote the location of commercial uses within
municipalities, County Urban Growth Boundary areas, Intergovernmental Agreement
urban growth areas, growth management areas as defined in municipal comprehensive
plans, the Regional Urbanization Areas, Urban Development Nodes or where adequate
services are currently available or reasonably obtainable. The property is located within
the Town of Gilcrest IGA, and in their Notice of Inquiry response dated May 29, 2015 the
Town states "The Town of Gilcrest has no conflict with this proposal and in not interested
in annexation or a pre-annexation agreement at this time. Although it may be in conflict
with the Comprehensive] Plan, the Town does not have any opposition to the
development and recommends that the County go forward with this application."
Section 22-2-20. G.2. A.Policy 7.2 states "Conversion of agricultural/and 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 land that WPD Storage LLC is proposing to convert to a commercial and
industrial use is located on non-irrigated agricultural land within a mile of the Town of
Gilcrest. The proposed oilfield equipment sales and storage yard is centrally located
within the Wattenburg - DJ Basin where there is a significant amount of oil and gas
activity already occurring. There is one residence immediately adjacent to the
proposed facility that will be heavily buffered with plant material and distance from the
physical operations area associated with the facility. Additionally there are four
residences located between 140 feet and 1200 feet from the proposed facility. Planning
staff will be requiring screening for the outdoor storage component associated with this
use. Conditions of approval and the development standards associated with this facility
will ensure that the proposed use is compatible with the vicinity and region.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural)Zone District.
Citing the following Code Sections, Section 23-3-40.S provides 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, 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 and Section 23-3-30.P for one (1) thirty-five-foot in height
communications tower 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.
Surrounding land uses are predominately large tract irrigated agricultural fields, many
having a center pivot for irrigation and residences associated with these farms. State
Highway 85 and the Union Pacific rail road corridor is immediately adjacent to the eastern
property line. There are several Special Use Permits in the general area, to the east is
a 10,000 head feedlot permitted under USR-1197; to the north is a house moving
business and storage yard permitted under USR-1209; and approximately 0.5 miles to
the east is the A & W water supply and storage and production pipe and equipment
storage yard. Staff has not received any inquiries from surrounding property owners
concerning this land use application. The Conditions of Approval require a screening
plan and the Development Standards will address the on-site lighting.
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
USR15-0017, Pat Daniel—WPD Storage LLC,Page 3 of 9
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 Gilcrest, the Town
of Milliken and the Town of Platteville. The property is also located within the Town of
Gilcrest IGA with Weld County, In their Notice of Inquiry response dated May 29, 2015
the Town states ""The Town of Gilcrest has no conflict with this proposal and in not
interested in annexation or a pre-annexation agreement at this time. Although it may be
in conflict with the [Comprehensive] Plan, the Town does not have any opposition to the
development and recommends that the County go forward with this application." The
Town of Milliken in their referral dated May 21, 2015 indicated no concerns, and the
Town of Platteville did not respond to the request.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Article V, of the Weld
County Code. The property is not within the Geologic Hazard Overlay District, the Flood
Hazard Overlay District or the Airport Overlay District. The site is within the County-Wide
Road Impact Fee Area and the Capital Expansion Impact Fee areas.
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 47 acres of "Prime (Irrigated)," lands
per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The
property historically held a center pivot, however, at the time of this land use application,
there is no irrigation water associated with the property
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.

26. 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, 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.
