The property is located in Section: 31 Township: 7 Range: 87 TR lN LOT 3 & LOT 4 on a part of that property known by Assessor's Parcel No. 2391-312-00- 004. 3.99 Acres Rural (R) I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL The Applicant is requesting approval for a Small Contractor's Yard of approximately 1 acre in size occupying the wesiern portion of a 3.99 acres property. The Contractors Yard is proposed to be un-ltafeA. Since the Yard is proposed to be un-staffed, demonstration of 'legal and adequate water and wastewater is not required. The access driveway from CR 100 is an existing access point and the access roadway to the use has been represented to meet ifre Standards outlined in Section 7-107 of the Land Use and Development Code (LUDC). The Applicant is requesting a Waiver to reduce the required 100 foot setback from residential adjacent and other property lines (7-1001(B) andT- 1OO1(D)(1)) down to 50 feet. ln addition, the Applicant is requesting a Waiver from screening'iequirements in Section 7-1001(C) based on current vegetation and limited visibility from adjoining public rights of way. The Contractors Yard is currently existing as a Legal Non-Conforming Use that has been in place since before Garfield County instituted zoning in 1972 (See Exhibit 9, Letter from Mark Bean dated November 25, 1987). The purpose for this request is to Iegitimize the existing Contractors Yard use by obtaining a Land Use Change Permit for a Contractor's yard, lmall. Garfield County Code Enforcement has monitored this use since 1987. There are no current Code Enforcement actions on the property and it appears that the legal non-conforming contractor's yard on the property is in compliance with the uses documented in 1987. ln August 2014, the Applicant obtained a Land Use Change Permit for an Accessory Dwelli'ng Unit on the property. Legal and adequate access, water and wastewater for the primary-and Accessory dweiting units were examined and approved at that time. The Application has provided the following description of the proposal: My goal for this LUCP is to bring this property into conformity with Garfield C6u-nty. This property has a legal nonconforming use !hat-da!e-s back to the early igZOs.'l have an ongoing project, permit #BLRE-04-17-4662, for a residential garage/shop. l- ho[e to enclose the most persistent legal nonconforming use comprising of parking and maintenance of my own vehicles and iquipment in thistuilding. This alone would be a shift toward preferred conformity. I have requested waivers on7-1001 B., "Setbacks," 7-1001c., "Concea'iing and Screening," and 7-1001 D.3, "Storing,". I hope to find a middle grounJ that is agreeable to both parties. I propose a 50 foot setback on setbick and storing instead of 100 feet; see setback map. The request on concealing and scieening is in the interest of maintaining the character of the area is it has stood for many years with natural vegetation acting as the screening. lt has worked well and when the yard is in a time of lower use, it looks li[e a pasture instead of a screened contractors'yard; see photos. With these suggested waivers of standards, I will continue to have a functional contractoiJ yard and bring the property into conformance. Without this LUCP, I would have to continue the legal nonconforming use as it has historically been and just use the shop/garage for residential use. This would be a fruitrating outcome for me. I believe we have an opportunity to make this property better for Garfield County, neighbors, general public and owner *ftit" priting a the legal nonconforming use in the past. This LUCP would also preserve in conformity a contractors'yard that serves as an asset to our railey in good geographic function and traffic safety. The uses for 3627 CR 1OO Small Contractors' Yard and Building will be the following: general contracting, trucking/logistics, indoor/outdoor storage of equipmeni anO materials for construction and production events in our region. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE The site is currently developed with a single family residence, an Accessory Dwelling Unit, 2 detached garages, a pond and a shed. The property appears to have positive drainage to the southwesi and'is a mix of graded areas, native vegetation and grasses. The Applicant has represented that the ploperty is periodically used for storage of equipment which is considered legal non-.oniorming. Discussions with the Garfield County Code Enforcement Officer indicated that this mitter has been looked into in the past and there are no current or past enforcement actions on the property that stemmed from the investigation.

Article 7, Division 1: General Standards The property is in general compliance with Zone District Regulations for the Rural Zone District. As proposed, the Contractors Yard is requesting a 50% reduction in the lndustrial setbacks of 100 feet. This Waiver request is discussed in the lndustrial Standards section of this Staff report. All other zoning parameters have been met or will be required to be met for the Rural Zone District. Section 7-102: Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and lGAs The site is identified as Residential Medium (6 - .10 Ac/DU).

Poticy #4: Ensure that transportation modes and nodes are directly linked with existing economic centers through development review process and inspection. 9 poticy #5: The county wilt direct industriat developments to the airport center and other appropriately designated areas. Sfra tegies/Actions #4: Ensure that commercial/industrial developments are compitibl" with adjacent land uses and preserue the visual quality of the countY. It is Staff's opinion that the proposed facility meets these Policies, Strategies, and Actions and is therefore in general compliance with the Comprehensive Plan' Section 7-1 03: ComPatibility The application includes the following description of the surrounding land uses. Adjacent land use within a 1500 sq. ft. radius includes mostly dwellings and agiicultural uses. Along with these are a gas station/store, polo training fJcitity, landscaping/forestry contractor's yards, kingdom hall (J .W') and Hughes junk yaid.lhere is also an effort for possible mini storage sharing a south property line with this site. The nearest residence is approximately 80 feet to the north of the proposed use' There has been increasing development interest in this area including commercial development on the parcels to th6 south of the subject parcel as well as residential to the west. The TO Ranch Subdivision which sits to the south and west of the subject parcel is currently approved as a residential subdivision with 3 lots. Developers have been in discussions witn tne County to change the residential status of this currently vacant subdivision, however, in order to allow for commercial and/or industrial development by Land Use Change Permit. As noted previously, the contractor's yard use on the subject parcel is .rrr"i1y considered Legal'Non-Conforming as it has been demonstrated to have been in use since before the Co-unty had zoning in-1972. While some complaints have been filed regarding this use over the years, it appears that the use as it exists today is consistent wiln tnat-originally documenied in 1987 by then Planning Director Mark Bean (See Exhibit e). l0 View of from CR 100 and 82 (Provided Section 7-103 requires the following: "The nature, scale, and intensity of the proposed use are compatible with adjacent land uses." The LUDC further defines Compatibility as: "The characteristics of different uses or activities or design that allow them to be located near or adjacent to each other in harmony. Compatibility does not mean "the same as." Rather, compatibility refers to the sensitivity of development proposals in maintaining the character of existing development." As a Legal Non-Conforming Use, the contractor's yard is only required to abide by Rural setback standards ol25' rear, 10' side and 25' front. While the Applicant is requesting a Waiver from the 100' setback for industrial uses in the Rural zone district, the 50' setback requested is significantly larger than that required today as a Legal Non-Conforming Use. The contractorrs yard use is also setback approximately 280' from County Road 100 behind a thicX grove of existing trees and a single family home. To this end, considering the longevity of this use on the property, it has proven to generally be compatible with the surrounding residential and agricultural uses. !n addition, the increased setback of 50' from the north, south and west property lines will help increase the compatibility of the 11 use with the surrounding uses' Section 7-104 states the following: All applications for Land Use c.hanse ?"-tT:11:.1i'll:,:"-#,,l3"lJ$ii ili, #i! ]' ifrili i" r, r ". rieim, a nd I es aiwatel :y ryy. 1", -':X1f"::?"T#, or that contain Temporary Facilities re^redbta licensed water hauler' The Applicant has represented that all necessary utilities are currently in place' The Appricant has indicated that the contractors yard wilr be un-staffed.

Setbacks As is noted previously, the Applicant is requesting a waiver from the 100' setback requirements for inoritri"r faciritie;. frre lusiitication for this waiver is that the use is currenry considered Legar uon-contorring and is subject to standard building setbacks within the Rural zone district, not in" 100i setback' App$ing the 100'setback to this property would "tf".lir"f, make tne'ilgal Non-Conformingj Uie unworkable as the area to be too small.

The Contractors Yard is to be located on an approximately 3.99 icre parcel and is proposed to be un-staffed. Since the Yard is proposed to be un-staffed, demonstration of legal and adequate water and wastewater is not required. The Co_ntractors yard is currently existing as a Legallon-Conforming Use that has been in place since before Garfield County instituted zoning in 197i.
