building /grading permit permissions

Importance: High
As is the practice allowed now, once the conditions of the Resolution are satisfied (provided this condition of
satisfaction is confirmed by the Planner), the Applicant can apply for building and grading permits prior to the
issuance of SUPs, CUPs, LIRPs, MIRPs... you can issue the permits prior to the actual PERMIT being issued.

The last item to meet conditions for Bill Barrett Corp.'s Circle B #4 Produced Water Storage Facility

hands, indicating that THEN they may apply for grading and building permits. (The LIRP is to issue
7/6/09, provided they get this security in place, and I have no reason to believe they won't,)

6.0 AGRICULTURE
ISSUES: As the rural areas of the County continue to develop, the need to ensure
compatibility between these uses (agricultural land and lands that present the least
development constraints) and active agricultural lands will intensify;
GOAL: To ensure that existing agricultural uses are allowed to continue in operation
and compatibility issues are addressed during project review
OBJECTIVES:
6.1. Ensure the compatibility of development proposals with existing farms and
ranches.
6.2: Ensure that active agricultural, uses are buffered from higher - intensity adjacent
uses.
6.3: Developments adjacent to agricultural uses should be reviewed in a manner that
allows for flexibility in resolving compatibility conflicts with adjacent uses.
POLICIES:
6.1: Agricultural land will be protected from infringement and associated impacts of
higher - intensity land uses through the establishment of buffer areas between the
agricultural use and the proposed project.
6.2: Densities greater than the underlying zoning will be discouraged if the proposed
development would adversely affect the adjacent agricultural operations.
In the 'PROGRAMS' portion of the Comprehensive Plan 6.4 proposes buffer zones 'of at
least 300 feet' are proposed unless a lesser amount can be demonstrated as practical.
The proposed new subdivision lots are sited on the west side of the parcel, and east of an
existing drainage easement. While the building envelopes' separation from the lot lines
varies between 20'on Lot 3 and 100' on Lots 4, it is a considerable distance to the
residence and ag structures on the adjacent parcel. The adjacent agricultural use is
pasture with some mature orchard, and one single family residence, as is the Old Orchard
Subdivision proposal. The lot configuration has been driven by the access location
permitted by CDOT; that access location has been placed an the west side of the parcel.
This location also served to limit the impact for access road installation on the existing
orchard tract, preserving the agricultural character of the subdivision.
Because these lots are in compliance with the zoning for Rural lands, compatible with the
density recommendations of the TNC's Three Mile Plan (1999), and Staff feels that the
proposed design buffer is adequate. The proposed use is higher- intensity than the parcel
to the west, but complies with density and zoning requirements.
The 'PROGRAMS' portion of the Comprehensive Plan 6.5 also calls for any potential
adverse impacts be analyzed and mitigation measures developed by the Applicant. While
no comments for the Sketch Plan were received from Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW),
agency recommendations for subdivisions of similar design and scale in the area of New
Castle ask to incorporate 'wildlife friendly' fencing and food /refuse storage practices and
door handle selection to dissuade habituation of black bears.
