SUMMARY:This site was approved for an organic materials composting and processing facility under USR-
930 on January 30, 1991.The applicants are proposing to amend the existing A-1 Organics composting and
processing facility from a Class III composting facility to a Class I composting facility.The current facility can
only accept type 1 feedstocks (agricultural crop residues, manure, untreated wood wastes, yard, paper and
green wastes).Also the existing facility is limited to a total of 50,000 cubic yards of feedstock, in-process and
bulking material on-site at any one time. Under a Class I classification the facility can accept type 2 (animal
material,animal mortalities and source separated food wastes)and type 3(Biosolids, solid waste,processed
waste and sludges)in addition to type 1 feedstocks.Additionally a Class I facility is not restricted to the volume
of feedstocks, bulking agent or in-process material that may be present on the site at any given time.
Additionally Al is proposing a future(conceptual)office expansion and gate house,future scale,future tipping
building and future asphalt blending pad and mixing pits with this amended Use by Special Review Permit
request. The traffic information provided with the submittal states that the site will develop approx. 1000-18
wheel trucks annually shipping product offsite. (Peak Traffic is between March 1 and July 1 with approx. 40
trucks/week. Normal truck traffic is between 5 and 20 trucks/week.) Other truck traffic estimates 15
trucks/week. Total numbers of employees at one time is 15.

with Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows:

applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-2-20 A. A.Goal 1. Respect and encourage the continuation of agricultural land

The proposed amendment will allow the processing of animal wastes and animal
mortalities associated with agricultural related uses. A lighting plan is requested for this
facility(if any on-site lighting changes are proposed)and there are several Development
Standards attached to regulate flies, odors and other potential impacts associated with
this amendment.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 --The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural)Zone District. Sections 23-3-40 A.12, 23-3-40 B.12, and 23-3-40 I. of the

existing surrounding land uses. The existing A-1 Organics facility is surrounded by
agricultural land. The nearest residences are located approximately 1,000 feet north of
