Size of Parcel: +/- 124.91 acres Parcel No. 1061-03-0-00-014
Description:
The applicant, PTI USA Manufacturing, LLC (PTI), is proposing a storage area for about 150 modular
units on approximately 22 acres. The USR parcel is approximately 125 acres in size but the modulars will
be stored on a 22 acre portion on the southwest corner. The storage area's purpose is to temporarily
store modular units that are constructed in the manufacturing facility and are waiting to be shipped.
PTI's manufacturing facility is located in the Town of Johnstown on the parcel south of and adjacent to the
USR site. PTI has approximately 360 employees working at this manufacturing facility. According to the
application materials about 10 employees will access the modular storage area during the hours of
operation: 6:00 a.m. to midnight Monday— Friday.
The applicant is proposing screening and landscaping as well as security lighting for the modular storage
area. The storage area will be screened with an eight-foot tall fence that will be constructed out of metal
on the east and north and chain link on the west and south. No signage is proposed with this USR. The
access to the storage area is from the existing PTI parking lot; the access drives, driving lanes, and
storage yard area will be graveled and graded. No additional access points are requested and no
additional parking is needed. The Town of Johnstown provides water and sanitary facilities to the
manufacturing building and no additional water or sanitary facilities/septic are required for this USR.
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.
USR13-0053 PTI
Page 2 of 8
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,
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.'
PTI USA Manufacturing, LLC (PTI), is proposing a storage area for about 150 modular
units on approximately 22 acres. The USR parcel is approximately 125 acres in size but
the modulars will be stored on a 22 acre portion on the southwest corner. The storage
area's purpose is to temporarily store modular units that are constructed in the
manufacturing facility and are waiting to be shipped. PTI's manufacturing facility is
located in the Town of Johnstown on the parcel south of and adjacent to the USR site.
The applicant is proposing screening and landscaping as well as security lighting for the
modular storage area. No signage is proposed with this USR. The Conditions of
Approval state that a Lighting Plan is required. This Lighting Plan along with the
Development Standards and the other Conditions of Approval 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. which 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 (storage area for modular units) 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 site is adjacent to the Town of Johnstown's corporate limits and partially in their
Urban Growth Boundary. The properties surrounding the site are utilized for pastures,
crops, rural residences, and businesses. Highway 60 borders the site on the north and
Interstate 25 borders the site on the east. The property to the west contains a dairy and
the property to the south consists of a business park in the Town of Johnstown. The
closest residence is less than 20 feet from the western property line and approximately
one-quarter mile north of the northern most fence line of the storage area.
There are four (4) USRs located within one mile of this parcel. USRs-590, 358 and 576
combine together to form the dairy on the property west of and adjacent to the site and
USR-1192 for a water tank is located approximately six-tenths of a mile west of the site.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services has not received any correspondence
from surrounding property owners.
The applicant is proposing screening and landscaping as well as security lighting for the
modular storage area. No signage is proposed with this USR. The Conditions of
Approval state that a Lighting Plan is required. This Lighting Plan along with the
Development Standards and the other Conditions of Approval, will assist in mitigating the
impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties and ensure compatibility with
surrounding land uses.
USR13-0053 PTI
Page 3 of 8
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 Towns of Berthoud and
Johnstown. The Town of Berthoud did not respond with any referral comments. The
Town of Johnstown's referral dated December 18, 2013, states that, "The property is
contiguous to Town Limits and is eligible for annexation." The comments also state,
"Johnstown's support for this application is based upon our long lead time for annexation
to the Town (approximately one year), and because PTI expressed the urgent need to
develop the 22 +/- acre storage area adjoining their plant." The referral concludes, "We
have discussed annexation and this application with PTI, and support the application with
the understanding that the property would be annexed to the Town and connected to
Town water and sewer before additional development is to occur."
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 100 acres "Prime (Irrigated)" and 24
acres of "Other" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld
County Map. The proposed USR will take approximately 15 acres of "Prime (Irrigated)"
Farmland out of production but the site is located in an urbanizing area.
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.
This recommendation is based, in part, upon a review of the application materials submitted by the
applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.

21. 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
USR13-0053 PTI
Page 7 of 8
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.

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
right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not
adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent place
on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive) intersects a
publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to
the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to the
scheduled Planning Commission hearing. You may view the staff report at

Subject: PTI storage yard USR 13-053 Ditch Comments
Diana-
I wanted to send you an email to follow up regarding the comments received from Harry Lateral Ditch. We met with
the ditch president, Mr. Herrera and their attorney, Randy Starr to discuss their comments and our plan moving forward.
We discussed that our yard had metal fencing and we were a minimum of 90' from the ditch. They had no issue with this
and seemed satisfied that this is an acceptable buffer for either burning or the potential for minor flooding. We also
discussed that our current plans were to keep the rest of the property farmland, much the same as it is today. If the
potential for development would come up in the future, we would consult them at that time for a mutually beneficial
outcome.
We talked about their objection at the planning meeting and they said there would be none. My understanding is that
they have no objections with our storage yard as it is laid out on plans and we have satisfied their concerns. As such, I've
coped Randy Starr,their attorney on this email so that he can voice an objection if this not be the case.
