Case Summary:
The applicant, Mr. Shawn Greathouse, is proposing 400 self mini-storage units in 7 buildings and some
parking spaces for outdoor storage of RVs, boats, and campers. The USR will utilize five (5) acres in the
southeast corner of a thirty-four acre parcel. The application materials state that there will be no
employees and no RV dump station is proposed. The hours of operation are proposed to be 5:00 a.m. to
11:00 p.m. 7-days a week.
The applicant is proposing screening, landscaping, signage, and lighting on the site. The fence on the
east, west, and a portion of the south is proposed to be a 6-foot vinyl privacy fence and the fence on the
north edge of the five (5) acre site is proposed to be a 6-foot chain-link fence with three strands of barbed
wire along the top. The primary screening from County Road 50 will be a 20-foot x 320-foot storage
building aligned east-west and abutting County Road 50. The application materials also show
landscaping on the south side of this building adjacent to County Road 50. The application materials do
not show any parking spaces and due to this type of use staff is not recommending any. Each storage
unit will have exterior lighting installed per code and will be shielded. The applicant is also proposing pole
lights and signage on the site.
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,
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 applicant, Mr. Shawn Greathouse, is proposing 400 self mini-storage units in seven
(7) buildings and some parking spaces for outdoor storage of RVs, boats, and campers.
The USR will utilize five (5) acres in the southeast corner of a thirty-four acre parcel. The
application materials state that there will be no employees.
The applicant is proposing screening, landscaping, signage, and lighting on the site. The
fence on the east, west, and a portion of the south is proposed to be a 6-foot vinyl privacy
fence and the fence on the north edge of the five (5) acre site is proposed to be a 6-foot
chain-link fence with three strands of barbed wire along the top. The primary screening
from County Road 50 will be a 20-foot x 320-foot storage building aligned east-west and
abutting County Road 50. The application materials also show landscaping on the south
side of this building adjacent to County Road 50. The application materials do not show
any parking spaces and due to this type of use staff is not recommending any. Each
storage unit will have exterior lighting installed per code and will be shielded. The
applicant is also proposing pole lights and signage on the site.
The Conditions of Approval state that a Lighting Plan is required. This plan along with
the Development Standards and the Conditions of Approval for this proposal 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. 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 Districts (self
mini-storage, RV, boat and camper trailer storage) provided that the property is not a lot
in an approved or recorded subdivision plan or lots part 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 located partially in the Johnstown Urban Growth Boundary. The adjacent
properties are mainly utilized for pastures, crops, and rural residences. County Road 50
borders the site on the south. The properties to the north, east, and west are cropland.
The closest residence is approximately 600 feet southwest of the site.
There are five (5) USRs located within one mile of this parcel. USR-1366 for a fence
business is east of and adjacent to the site and owned by the applicant. USR-579 for a
veterinary clinic is approximately one-half mile north of the site. USR-80 for a dairy and
USR-1107 for vehicle sales and repair are approximately eight-tenths of a mile west of
the site. USR-1706 for a major facility for a public utility is approximately two-tenths of a
mile south of the site. The Weld County Department of Planning Services has not
received any correspondence from the surrounding property owners that objects to this
USR.
USR13-0057
Page 3 of 9
The Conditions of Approval state that a Lighting Plan is required. This plan along with
the Development Standards and the Conditions of Approval for this proposal will assist in
mitigating the impacts of the facility on the adjacent properties and ensure compatibility
with surrounding land uses.
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 Town of Johnstown, the City of
Greeley, and Town of Milliken. The City of Greeley's referral dated December 10, 2013
indicated no concerns. The Town of Johnstown's referral comments dated December 18,
2013 indicated that, "The sight distance on eastbound County Road 50 may pose access
issues. There is a slight rise just west of County Road 15, and eastbound vehicles may
not have adequate reaction time for a commercial driveway. Also, during icy periods
northbound vehicles on County Road 15 tend to slide through the intersection." The
Weld County Department of Public Works has no concerns with this access point and
has approved access permit (AP13-00370)for this USR.
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 34 acres Prime (Irrigated) per the 1979
Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. This USR will take
approximately five (5)acres of Prime (Irrigated) Farmland out of production.
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.

24. 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
USR13-0057
Page 8 of 9
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, 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.

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
