C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses.
The adjacent properties are mainly utilized for pastures, crops, and rural residences. County
Road 18 borders the site on the south and County Road 21 borders the site on the east. The
properties to the north and west are cropland, pastures,or vacant land. The closest residence is
approximately 140 feet north of the site.
There are eleven (11) USRs located within one mile of this parcel. USR-813 for a single family
dwelling and AmUSR-1231 for a dairy of 4,000 head are located south of the site. Amended
USR-1356 for livestock confinement is located southwest of the site. Amended USR-238 and
USR-331 both for compressor stations are located west of the site. USR-1408 for a single family
dwelling is located north of the site. USR-1184 for an equine breeding and training center is
northeast of the site. USR-514 for gravel mining is located southeast of the site. USR-1063 for a
24"gas line is located adjacent to the west boundary of the site. There are also two USRs for
turkey farms that are no longer operating.The Weld County Department of Planning Services has
received one phone call with concerns about the noise that the compressors will create. The
applicant held a neighborhood meeting on June 18th, 2014 at the Platteville Community Center.
The application materials include a Noise Abatement Plan and a Lighting Plan. Adherence to
these two plans along with the attached Development Standards and 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 Towns of Firestone and Frederick and
the City of Fort Lupton. The Town of Firestone's referral dated May 1, 2014 states, "We would
recommend that storm runoff in excess of pre-developed rates be detained and released at
100-yr historic rates and that development of the site does not adversely impact natural storm
drainage patterns." The Development Standards from Weld County also have the same
requirement. The City of Fort Lupton's referral comments dated May 22, 2014 states,"The site is
currently designated as agriculture in the City of Fort Lupton's comprehensive plan. However,the
City is working on an update to its comprehensiveplan.Anadarko should contact the City of Fort
P
Lupton to discuss potential annexation before moving forward with this application."and"County
Road 21 is designated as a Collector in the City's transportation plan. A 110' right-of-way is
required for this designation and the future right-of-way should be taken into consideration for any
improvements." The Town of Frederick did not respond with any referral comments.
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 60 acres of"Prime if they become Irrigated"and
100 acres of"Other Land"per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld
County Map. This USR will not take any Prime (Irrigated) Farmland out of production.

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 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.
