The following business was transacted:
Ei I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated June 27, 2014, and duly published July 2,
2014, in the Greeley Tribune, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Big
Thompson Investments Holdings, LLC, for a Change of Zone, COZ14-0003, from the
A (Agricultural) Zone District to the 1-3 (Industrial) Zone District. Brad Yatabe, Assistant County
Attorney, made this a matter of record.
El Chris Gathman, Department of Planning Services, presented a brief summary of the
proposal and entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the
record as written. Mr. Gathman showed the site, which is surrounded on three sides by the
Union Colony Industrial Park Planned Unit Development and the property to the south is in the
process of annexing to the City of Greeley, also for Industrial Use. The lot is 4.32 acres, and
there is an existing family residence and outbuildings on the parcel. The property would be
annexed to the City of Greeley by no later than March 1, 2016, and is part of the Airport Overlay
District. The residence will be converted to an industrial use or removed. He showed images of
the site.
E Jennifer Petrik, Department of Public Works, provided a brief overview of the
transportation plans and requirements. No access permit is required at this time, this site is
adjacent to County Road (CR) 62, and an improvements agreement may be required in the
future, as well as other items. She also has a suggestion from the Planning Commission for
alteration to Condition of Approval #3.G.

Lauren Light, Department of Public Health and Environment, reviewed the water and
sewer provisions. The City of Greeley will provide water when the business is located on the
site. She noted that some items weren't carried over from the Planning Commission into the
Resolution, and those are in the minutes. Condition of Approval #3.L was deleted and #3.M
was modified to delete the following: "creates more than a 25-acre contiguous disturbance or".
'ii Tim Naylor, AGPROfessionals, LLC, representing the applicant, discussed the annexation
process. This property would be a donut in that zone, so it makes sense to have it changed at
this time. There is an existing pre-annexation agreement, and that will be addressed
September 2, 2014, at the Greeley City Council Hearing.
IE Chair Rademacher opened the floor for public comment. Gary Cyr, Director of the
Greeley-Weld County Airport, stated concern pertaining to the vertical height of buildings on the
properties to the east of the airport. He stated the applicants have indicated their willingness to
acquiesce to necessary limits, therefore, there would be no impact to aviation activities.
El Mr. Naylor addressed Condition of Approval #1.B, pertaining to the concerns of the airport,
that the height of buildings in that area will not exceed 50 feet. He would like that Condition of
Approval to be a Development Standard on the plat that this is a requirement. The Board
assented to that request.
El In response to Chair Rademacher, the terminology of Condition of Approval #3.G was
changed from "shall" to "may." Condition of Approval #3.L was deleted, and #3.M was changed,
by assent of the Board. Mr. Naylor requested #3.C be changed to "may be required to", as it
was changed at the Planning Commission Hearing. He also requested that Condition of
Approval #3.1, regarding a Master Drainage Report, be modified with the word "if". These were
done by assent of the Board.
In response to Chair Rademacher, Mr. Naylor indicated he and the applicant have
reviewed, and agree to abide by, the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards, as
amended.
Ei Mr. Gathman stated that the new Condition of Approval #3.S should read, "Any future
structures built on the site shall not exceed 50 feet above ground level."
Ei Commissioner Conway moved to approve the request of Big Thompson Investments
Holdings, LLC, for a Change of Zone, COZ14-0003, from the A (Agricultural) Zone District to the
1-3 (Industrial) Zone District, based on the recommendations of Planning staff and the Planning
Commission, with the Conditions of Approval as amended and entered into the record. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Garcia, and it carried unanimously. There being no
further discussion, the hearing was completed at 11:14 a.m.
