Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Mineral
Resource Facility including an Oil and Gas Support and Service Facility (storage and
staging of oil and gas equipment along with buildings utilized for an office, light vehicle
maintenance and material storage) in the A (Agricultural)Zone District.
Legal Part of the N2 of Section 2, T3N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO
Description:
Location: South of and adjacent to County Road 38, east of and adjacent to County Road 33 and
west of and adjacent to County Road 35.
Size of Parcel: +/-276.04 acres Parcel No. 121102000014
Case Summary:
The applicant is proposing an oilfield storage/stockpile facility (pipes, fittings...) along with two (2) 81-foot
x 148-foot buildings to be used for material management support and light vehicle maintenance. A 70-foot
communication tower was originally included in the application but the applicant has removed this item
from their request. Up to 40 pickups with and without trailers will access the site daily to pick up materials.
Additionally is it estimated that a tractor trailer will access the site for material delivery up to three (3)
times a day. Up to 5 employees will be at the site during normal business hours and one (1) employee
may be on site for security during after hours. The facility is proposed to operate 24-hours a day, 7-days a
week. The facility is proposed to be located on a 34.9 acre Recorded Exemption lot (Lot A of Recorded
Exemption RECX13-0096) in the northeast corner of the 276.04 acre parcel. This recorded exemption is
in the process of being recorded.
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.
USR14-0008, Anadarko Petroleum E&P Company, LP, Page 3 of 12
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 I. 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 1.3. A.Policy 9.3. States: "Consider mitigation techniques to address
incompatibility issues. Encourage techniques and incentives, such as but not limited to
clustered development and building envelopes, to minimize impacts on surrounding
agricultural land."
22-2-100 A.2. OG.Policy 1.2. states: "Oil and gas support facilities which do not rely on
geology for locations should locate in commercial and industrial areas, when possible,
and should be subject to review in accordance with the appropriate sections of this
Code."
The Department of Planning Services is recommending conditions of approval (including
a lighting plan) to address impacts associated with the use and ensure compatibility with
the surrounding area.
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.A.2 of the Weld County Code allows oil and
gas support and service facilities as a Use by Special Review (storage and staging of oil
and gas equipment along with buildings utilized for an office, light vehicle maintenance
and material storage) 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 proposed facility is located approximately 2,000 feet
east of three single-family residences. The proposed facility is location is located down
slope from the nearest residences on County Road 38. The nearest residences are
screened (at least partially) by existing trees. The Department of Planning Services is not
requiring screening along the western end of the storage area. However, Another single
family residence is located approximately 1,200 feet to the northeast of the site (on a hill).
The Department of Planning Services is therefore requiring a Landscape/Screening Plan
to address screening of outdoor storage at the east end of the facility. An oil and gas
processing facility (approved under 3r° AMUSR-542) and oil and gas equipment storage
facility (USR-1018) are located to the north of the site. Cropland is located to the east of
the site and vacant land is located to the west and south of the site.
The Department of Planning Services is recommending conditions of approval (including
a lighting plan and a Landscape/Screening Plan) to address impacts associated with the
use and ensure compatibility with the surrounding area.
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 Gilcrest and the
Town of Platteville. The Town of Gilcrest in their referral comments, dated March 11,
2014 indicated that they have no concerns. No referral response has been received from
the Town of Platteville.
USR14-0008, Anadarko Petroleum E&P Company, LP, Page 4 of 12
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 "prime if irrigated" land per the 1979 Soil Conservation
Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The proposed facility will be located
on 34.9 acres of a 276 acre parcel.
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.

29. 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.
USR14-0008, Anadarko Petroleum E&P Company, LP, Page 11 of 12
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 May 6, 2014, at 1:30 p.m.
A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on May 28, 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
scheduled Planning Commission hearing. You may view the staff report at
