RE,: Proposed Land Use Code Text Amenciment by Rocky Mountain Hotshots, Inc.
Dear Garfield County:
I own Dick Casey Concrete Co., a concrete company located in Garfield County. Our
main office is located near Rifle, adjacent to the property owned by Rocky Mountain
Hotshots, Inc. in the Commercial-General district. We support Rocky Mountain
Hotshots, Inc.'s request to amend the Garfield County unified Land Use Resolution to
allow an eight foot fence within our front yard setback. In fact, our company is
contemplating this same type of fence. This level of fence is necessary to ensure secure
commercial operations within the zone district. Due to our proximity to 6 & 24, olr
front yard setback prevent us from building a secure fence within the first 50 feet of our
property, which in turn prevents the most effective utilization of this portion of our
property for comrnercial purposes. It also seems unfair that land owners in the Rural
district area able to build 8 foot fences, especially when it appears that much more of the
county is zoned Rural than is zoned Commercial-General. The properties across 6 & 24
from me are zoned Rural. Business owners in the Commercial-General District need to
be given the flexibility to build secure fences on their boundaries to protect their
inventory and to ensure commercial operations. This is the point of the commercial-
generai zone ciistrict. Fiease approve i.his amsndrneiit io assist smaii business o*ners in
our county.

that contractor or storage yards typically utilize chain-link fencing and that any retail
commerciar operation *o-rrdn't put up'an eight foot (g') fenc5: simp.ly because those types of
commercial uses rely on being "seen" by &ive-by tiaitic. Examples of uses-by-right in the
CG zone include:
Accessory Building or Structure
Adult Day Care
Commercial Nursery
Contractor's Yard
Single FamilY Dwelling
Eating and Drinking Establishment
Fabrication
Foster Home
General service Establishment, including service/repair
Kennel
Laundromat
Lodging Facilities Major
Lodging Facilities Minor
There is quite a variety of uses that are permitted by-right and that could benefit from the
allowance of the fence in the front yard for security purposes' Those uses include
fabrication, storage facility, body shop and others'
As previously stated, this text amendment was requested to bring an existing fence into
compliance after a violation was issued. Though inat is the case, this text amendment
would apply to all commercial general zoned properties within unincorporated Garfield
county. see EXHlBlrs K and L for maps highlighting the commercial properties in the
County.
VII. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. That the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners was extensive and
complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all
interested Parties were heard-
2. That the proposed text amendment can be determined to be in the best interest of
the healih, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the
citizens of Garfield CountY.
3. That the application has met the requirements of the Garfield County Unified Land
Use Resolution of 2008, as amended'

IV. COMPLIANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan discusses basic policy direction for land use in Garfield County
but does not provide specific direction regarding dimensional standards or setback
requirements. Applicable Goals, Objectives, and Policies for commercial & industrial uses
include:
lll 4.0 Commercial & lndustrial Uses
lssues. Commercial development has been characterized by strip development which results
in frontal parking, little regard for pedestrian access, and a wide variety of non-
complementary uses;
o Vehicular access has been characterized by
arterials or highways. These patterns hinder
competing vehicular/pedestrian movement;
o Commerciat development, in some instances, has
adjacent land uses and along major arterials;
...created visual impacts on
Goals/Obiectives/Policieso Ensure that commercial development is conducive to safe and efficient traffic flow,
reduces vehicular movements and encourages alternate transportation modes and
the use of mass transit.
o Landscaping and screening will be required to address specific visual impacts of
industrial and commercial development.
o Zoning regulations and a review process will be developed and enforced that
recogiize the differences in size, scope, and type of commercial and industrial
development.

Commercial General
I. BACKGROUND
The Applicant has requested an amendment to the Unified Land Use Resolution
of 2008, as amended, which currently limits the maximum height of fences within
tne troni yard setback in the Commercial General zone District to three feet (3')'
The request is to G*it fences of up to eight t:."1 (8.) in height in the front yard
setback within the Commercial General Zine District of unincorporated Garfield
County.
This application is the result of a process that began in 2008 when investigation of
a violation commenced. Chris Chappelle, Garfield County Code E-nforcement
Officer, issued notice to the ptop".iy' owner on- November 3, 2008 regarding
construction of a fence within the requiied 50' foot front setback from Highway 6'
A Notice of Anticipated Enforcement was issued by Mr. Chappelle o,n June 18'
2009 and a Notice of violation was issued on June 29,2009. ln an effort to seek
correction of the violation the Applicant scheduled a pre-application conference
with planning staff. That conference was held on July 16, 2009 and focused on the
submittal requirements and processing of an application for a variance to the 50'
required front setback.
An application was submitted on Augusl24, z}Og.for a variance from the three
