Description: the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO
Location: North of and adjacent to CR 80 and '/ mile West of County Road 41
Size of Parcel: +/-6.0 acres Parcel No. 070917300054
Case Summary:
The applicant, KB Custom Ag Services, LLC is requesting a USR permit for outdoor and indoor storage of
agricultural equipment for a custom farming operation. The application materials indicate the equipment
stored at this site consists of trucks, trailers, tractors, harvesting equipment and miscellaneous items that
pertain to an agriculture operation. There are no livestock, crop storage, crop sorting, or any other
activities conducted on the site. Secondary to the storage of agricultural equipment is the storage of
limited employee vehicles that facilitate the delivery of agricultural equipment. The employees leave their
personal vehicles on site while delivering equipment to job sites. There are no full time employees at this
facility and no building additions are proposed. The property is a flat 6.0± acre triangular shaped
Recorded Exemption lot that that is located just outside of an existing pivot irrigation system. The only
structure is an existing building 44' x 84' shop. The Weld County Building Department records do not
indicate a building permit was pulled for the existing shop and the Weld County Assessors records show
the structure was built in 2004 for commercial storage. A building permit for the current uses will be
required for the existing shop.
The main facility located in Ault where all of the equipment is maintained, including routine oil changes,
transmission flush, grease and any other maintenance practices that may require hazardous materials,
solvents or specialized materials storage or disposal.
Also during the site visit it was noted that the property owner also uses the property for personal storage.
A number of these vehicles appear to be derelict vehicles which fall under the definition of a
noncommercial junkyard. The (A)Agricultural zone district allows for a noncommercial junkyard when full
totally enclosed within a building or structure or visually screened from all adjacent properties and public
rights-of-way.
The application materials did not include any proposed screening and or landscaping. A screening and
landscape plan will mitigate staff concerns related to the outdoor storage as well as the noncommercial
junkyard and are required as Conditions of Approval and addressed in the Development Standards.
USR14-0036, KB Custom Ag Services, LLC, Page 2 of 9
An active Zoning Violation (ZCV11-00086) was noted. This violation was initiated due to the
operation of a custom farming business without first completing the necessary Weld County Zoning
Permits. This case has not been presented to the Weld County Court Magistrate through the
Violation Hearing process. Since this application was submitted prior to an actual court date being
scheduled, NO investigation fee is required.
If this application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners and once a map is recorded will
correct this outstanding violation. If this application is denied, the commercial vehicles, storage and
all operations shall be removed from the property within 60 (sixty) days of denial or the violation will
proceed in court accordingly.
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. The proposed use is consistent with
Chapter 22 and any other applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect Section 22-
2-20.A (A.Goal 1) states, 'Respect and encourage the continuation of agricultural land
uses and agricultural operations for purposes which enhance the economic health and
sustainability of agriculture.'
Section 22-2-20.8.2 (A.Policy 2.2) states, 'Allow commercial and industrial uses, which are
directly related to, or dependent upon, agriculture, to locate within agricultural areas
when the impact to surrounding properties is minimal or mitigated and where adequate
services and infrastructure are currently available or reasonably obtainable. These
commercial and industrial uses should be encouraged to locate in areas that minimize the
removal of agricultural land from production.'
Section 22-2-20.G (A.Policy 7.1) states, 'County land use regulations should support
commercial and industrial uses that are directly related to, or dependent upon,
agriculture, to locate within the agricultural areas, when the impact to surrounding properties
is minimal, or can be mitigated, and where adequate services are currently available or
reasonably obtainable.'
Section 22-6-20.A (ECON.Goal 1) states, 'Encourage the expansion of existing businesses
and the location of new industries that will provide employment opportunities in the County.'
Section 22-6-20.A.2 (ECON.Policy 1.2) states, 'Promote the expansion and diversification of
the commercial economic base to achieve a well-balanced commercial sector in order to
provide a stable tax base and a variety of job opportunities for County citizens.'
The applicant is proposing to use the property for the storage of agricultural equipment used
for a custom farming operation that is unique and specialized. Farmers recognize the
changing dynamic of agricultural operations and the need for the farming industry to find
alternatives for creating a more efficient means harvesting. The proposed business offers
opportunities and services that allow crops to harvested efficiently and cost effectively,
thereby supporting our local growing agricultural industry and allowing opportunities for
expansion and employment.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
USR14-0036, KB Custom Ag Services, LLC, Page 3 of 9
Zone District.
Section 23-3-40 W. of the Weld County Code provide for Site Specific Development Plan
and Use By Special Review Permit for uses similar to the uses listed in Section 23-3-40 as
Uses by Special Review (equipment storage yard related to custom farming operations) as
long as the use complies with the general intent of the A (Agricultural)Zone District.
In the referral from Zoning Compliance dated July 9, 2014 it was stated that and an active
Zoning Violation (ZCV11-00086) was noted. This violation was initiated due to the operation
of a custom farming business without first completing the necessary Weld County Zoning
Permits. This case has not been presented to the Weld County Court Magistrate through
the Violation Hearing process. This application, if it is approved and a map is recorded, will
correct the violation.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. The surrounding properties have large agricultural lands to
the south, east and west, a horse training facility (USR-997) directly adjacent to the east,
and a dairy and a feedlot (USR-1583 and USR-199AM) to the north. There are two
residences within 500 feet of the proposed facility. One phone call was received from an
adjacent property owner concerned with the potential for the outdoor storage to become a
junkyard. The property owner also expressed concerns about parking of junk vehicles and
general property maintenance specifically not keeping the weeds mowed down on the
property. He is concerned about it becoming a junk yard and indicated it seems more like a
trucking activity than farming activity. He indicated that he has not contacted the property
owner or called the county prior to today.
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 Town of Ault and the Town of
Eaton. Neither the Town of Ault nor the Town of Eaton provided a referral.
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 6.00 acres Prime Non-Irrigated Farmland
per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. This
property, as well as the property directly east of and adjacent to this parcel are both
triangular shaped parcels created by a Recorded Exemption that appeared to have been
created as a result of being the corners off a pivot.
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.
USR14-0036, KB Custom Ag Services, LLC, Page 4 of 9

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
USR14-0036, KB Custom Ag Services, LLC, Page 8 of 9
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.

Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on September 16, 2014, at
1:30 p.m. A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on October 8,
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 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
