of this section, and observation by the Director or designee over
two growing seasons has indicated no significant unrestored
subsidence_
2) On non"crop land, reclamation has been performed as per
11{c)(2) of this section, and the total cover ot live perennial
vegetation, excluding noxious

Article 4-202 Land Use Code Text Amendme1
4-202 (8) Criteria for Approval of Amendmen t ~ _..,,Land Use Code.
a . Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and Intergovernmental Agreements. The proposed
text amendment is consistent with applicable provisions of the Garfield County
Comprehensive Plan and any intergovernmental agreements affecting land use or
development or an approved amendment to the Comprehensive Plan prior to the decision on
the text change.
Response: The proposed text amendment is consistent with the current Temporary
Employee Housing regulations. Section 4.0 Commercial and Industrial Uses of the
Garfield County Comprehensive Plan of 2000, Commercial & Industrial Uses states
that , the County will encourage the development of a diversified industrial base for
the County which recognizes the human resources, natural resources and physical
location-to-market capabilities of the community, and which further recognizes and
address the social and environmental impacts of industrial uses. The purpose of the
proposed text amendment is to modify the existing Minor Temporary Employee
Housing regulations allowing for a facility to be placed wholly on a "permitted site"
that may accommodate activities on a separate "permitted site". This will reduce
truck traffic related to the delivery and installation of housing units. Additionally, the
requested change will allow for the construction of smaller well pads, limiting the
need to increase the size of existing well pads and reduce the overall surface
disturbance. By not requiring a housing facility to be relocated with each drilling rig
move, the over all environmental impacts are reduced.
The requested amendment is limited to the Resource Lands zone district which is
primarily identified as "outlying residential" on the Comprehensive Plan's Proposed
Land Use Designation map. The requested text amendment is in compliance with the
Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Intergovernmental
Agreements.
b. Compliance with Statutory Provisions. The proposed text does not conflict with State
statutory provisions regulating land use.
Response: The proposed text amendment complies with all applicable state statutory
provisions regulation land use.
4-202 (9)Criteria for Approval of Request to Add Use(s) to Zone District
a. Increased Hazards. The proposed use does not resu lt in hazards or alter the natural
environment to an extent greater than the other uses permitted in the zone district to which it
would be added .
b. Increased Nuisance. The proposed use does not create more offensive noise , vibration ,
dust, heat , smoke , odor, glare or other objectionable influences or more traffic hazards than
that normally resulting from the other uses permitted the zone dist rict to which it would be
added.
c . Compatibility. The proposed use is compatible with the uses permitted the zone district to
which it would be added.
Resoonse: Oxy has not requested the addition of uses to a zone district. This
request applies to uses currently contemplated in the land use code. This section is
not applicable to this application.

3_ Fees: Base Fee is an estimate of the average number of hours of staff time devoted to
an application, multiplied by an hourly rate for the personnel involved. The Board
recognizes that the land use application process time varies and that an Applicant should
pay for the total cost of the review which may require additional billing. Hourly rates are
based on the hourly salary, and fringe benefits costs of the respective positions combined
with an hourly overhead cost of the office will be used to establish the actual cost o
County staff time devoted to the review of a particular project.
