Size of Parcel: +/-4.32 acres Parcel No. 0805 18 000036
Case Summary:
The applicant is applying for a Use by Special Review Permit to park vehicles and equipment for a
landscape maintenance business. Per the application materials the business has 6-12 employees and 6
trucks that will access the site in the morning (7:30 AM) and return in the evening (5-5:30 PM). This site is
presently in violation (case#ZCV13-00152)for operating a commercial business without the proper land
use permits. This violation was initiated by a citizen complaint. A 30-foot access easement that access
this property is shown on the 2nd Amended Recorded Exemption RE-825 and Subdivision Exemption SE-
485 plats. Additionally a separate 30-foot shared access easement agreement with four(4) other property
owners has been recorded. There is only one (1)existing access into the property. The easement
document was recorded in 1994 by the existing owners at the time and states that maintenance of the
easement is to be shared equally among the property owners and is a covenant that runs with the land
and is binding to heirs, successors and assigns.
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.
USR14-0010, Best& Terrazas, Page 2 of 8
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."
Section 22-2-20.1. A.Goal 9. states: "Reduce potential conflicts between varying land
uses in the conversion of traditional agricultural lands to other land uses."
Section 22-2-20.1.5. A.Policy 9.5. states: "Applications for a change of land use in the
agricultural areas should be reviewed in accordance with all potential impacts to
surrounding properties and referral agencies. Encourage applicants to communicate with
those affected by the proposed land use change through the referral process."
The property is adjacent to two existing residences to the north and west. An existing
agricultural vehicle/equipment repair business (approved under USR-1428) operates on
the parcel immediately to the north. The vehicle storage area is screened by existing
vegetation and a fence along the west property line along with the existing residence and
outbuilding. The Department of Planning Services is requiring a lighting plan (if any
lighting is proposed) and hours of operation are called out as a development standard to
address/mitigate impacts to adjacent properties.
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 of the Weld County Code 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, (storage and staging of construction equipment),
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 property is adjacent to two existing residences to the
north and west. An existing agricultural vehicle/equipment repair business (approved
under USR-1428) operates on the parcel immediately to the north. The two existing
residences along with this property share an existing 30-foot access easement off of
State Highway 392. The application indicates the six (6) 'IA ton and 1 ton trucks would
access the site twice daily (in the morning and in the evening). No phone calls or
correspondence has been received from surrounding property owners in regards to this
case.
The vehicle storage area is screened by existing vegetation and a fence along the west
property line along with the existing residence and outbuilding. The Department of
Planning Services is requiring a lighting plan (if any lighting is proposed) and hours of
operation are called out as a development standard to address/mitigate impacts to
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 areas of the City of Greeley, the Town
of Severance and the Town of Windsor. The Town of Severance in their referral
comments, dated May 13, 2014 indicated that they have no concerns. No referral
responses have been received from the City of Greeley and the Town of Windsor.
USR14-0010, Best &Terrazas, Page 3 of 8

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 4.32 acres delineated as "Prime" per the 1979 Soil
Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The parcel has an
existing house and improvements and the operations area for this business is located
within this improved area of 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.

27. 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.

I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on July 15, 2014, at 1:30 p.m.
A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on August 13, 2014 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

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
