Garfield county Airport lndustrial park complex planned Unit
Development
Airport Land Partners LimitedAPPLICANT:
RES Brian Condie, Garfield County Regional Airport
I. BACKGROUND
The Garfield County Regional Airport (GCRA) serving as authorized agent for Airport Land
Partners Limited (ALP) reguests approval for a text amendment to the CirfielO County Airport
lndustrial Park Complex Planned Unit Development (PUD). The PUD was previously adopted
by the Garfield County Board of eounty Commissioners through Resoluiion No. l7-l and
amended through Resolutions 81-56, 81-186, 85-103, 86-101 and 2001-65.

The primary purpose of the
proposed text amendment is to
incorporate three (3) additional
uses to some or all of the ten
zone districts within the PUD.
These land uses included:
Extraction, Solar PowerGenerating System, and
Storage Areas ancj Faciiities. A
secondary purpose of the
proposed PUD amendment is to
bring the entire PUD into
conformance and consistency
with prior resolutions and property
lot line adjustments.
The PUD was formally adoptedby the Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) in '1977
by Resolution No. 77-1. This
resolution approved the Garfield
County Airport lndustrial Park
Complex PUD with three (3)
conditions dealing with stormdrainage, a commercial
convenience store, and fire
protection. Nine (9) zone districts
were identified under this PUD
and are as follows:

1. Residential/Single Family (R7SF)
2. Residential/Urban (RYUD)
3. Mobile Home Park (MHP)
4. Commercial/Airport Service (C/AS)
5. Commercial/Convenience Retail (C/CR)
6. lndustrial/General Services (l/GS)
7. Commercial/Office Research (C/OR)
8. Recreational/Camper Park (R/CP)
9. Agricultural/lndustrial/Open Space (A/l/OS)
Resolution No. 81-56 was approved by the BOCC and adopted the rezoning of
Agricuttural/lndustrial and Agricultural/Residential/Rural zoned land outside the Garfield County
Ai-rport lndustrial Park Complex PUD to Planned Unit Development, thus incorporating this land
into the PUD. This zone district amendment restates the nine (9) approved PUD district's
conditions, standards, design, and land use criteria.
Resolution No. 81-186 was approved by the BOCC and adopted a Preliminary Plan for Mamm
Creek lndustrial Park Subdivision within the PUD.
Resolution No. 85-103 was approved by the BOCC and adopted amendments to the zone
district text, planned unit development plan and certain conditions of approval contained within
Resolution No. 81-56. Power cogeneration facilities are added as a land use within the
Agricu ltural/l nd ustrial/Open Space (A/I/OS) zone d istrict
Resolution No. 86-101 was approved by the BOCC and adopted an amendment to the zone
district text of the PUD.
Resolution No. 2001-65 was approved by the BOCC and adopted amendments to the PUD plan
and zone district text, providing for a Public Administration/Facilities (PA/F) zone district. With
this amendment, the PUD contains 10 land use districts.
II. REQUEST
Rm requests to amend the text and map of the existing PUD. The text amendments proposed
include three (3) new land uses; Extraction, Solar Power Generating Systems, and Storage
Areas and faciti{ies. These uses are put forth in order to further improve the airport runway and
facilities, and surrounding lands.
PROPOSED PUD LAND USES
Extraction
The gse is defined in Article XVI of Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, as
amended (ULUR) as "to draw out or forth; hence to derive as if by drawing out; removal of
physical matter in a solid or liquid state from its naturally occurring location; the initial step in
utiiization of a natural resource". The specific benefit of including the land use "Extraction" to
the Commercial/Office Research District (C/OR), situated immediately to the north of the GCRA,
is to altow for removal of soil materials from ALP property to the airport proper'
ALP seeks to include "Extraction" as a text amendment to the 10 land use districts in order to
facilitate longterm development of the PUD. The Applicant states that the "Edraction" land use
will allow the removal and adding of soils to properties within the PUD in order to manage long-

term site deveiopment including roadwork, drainage control, landscape and parcel grading, andpreparation.
The amendment proposes that this land use be subject to a Major lmpact Review in all zone
districts.

associated customary associated facilities necessary for the generation of energy.
ALp seeks to include this land use as subject to Major Impact Review in six (6) zone districts
including:
o
1. Agricultural/lndustrial/Open Space (A/|/OS)
2. Residential/Single Family (RySF)
3. Residential/Urban (RYUD)
4. Mobile Home Park (MHP)
5. lndustrial/General Services (l/GS)
6. Recreational/Camper Park (R/CP)
ALp does not propose to include this land use within the following zone districts due to proximity
to and potential conflict with GCRA flight operations.
1. Commercial/Airport Service (C/AS)
2. Commercial/Convenience Retail (C/CR)
3. Commercial/Office Research (C/OR)
4. Public Administration/Facilities (PA/F)
Storaqe Areas and Facilities
The use is deiined in Article 16 of the ULUR as the "act of storing or state of being stored,
specifically, the safe keeping of goods in a warehouse or other depository'" ALP seeks to
include the land use subject to t-imiteO lmpact Review within nine (9) districts including:
1. Agricultural/lndustrial/Open Space (A/|/OS)
2. Residential/SingleFamily(R/SF)3. Residential/Urban (R/UD)
4. Mobile Home Park (MHP)
5. Commercial/AirportService(C/AS)6. Commercial/ConvenienceRetail(C/CR)7. lndustrial/General Services (l/GS)
8. Commercial/OfficeResearch(C/OR)9. Recreational/CamperPark(R/CP)
The Applicant believes that this land use can support the burgeoning gas industry as well as
other potential industrial and commercial growtlr by providing storage space for vehicles,
equipment, parts and supplies. The availability of outdoor storage will support general economic
development of the community and region. fne Applicant also believes that the planning aE
fublic review of any propos"d "Storag6" within these zone districts will ensure that all potential
adverse impacts will Ue identified andhitigated prior to land use change permit approval.
PROPOSED REVISED PUD DOCUMENT
The amended PUD text can be found on pages 5-13 of the application.

III. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The PUD is situated within Study Area 3 of the Garfield County Comprehensive plan 2000.The-following Goals, Objectives, and Policies apply to the profosed iext amendment to thePUD.
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAT USES
OBJECTIVES:4.1 To ensure that commercial and industrial devetopment are compatibte withadiacent land uses and mitigate impacts identified during tne 'iii reviewprocess.
POLICIES:4.2 Encourage the location of industrial devetopment in areas where visual, noise,air quality and infrastructure impacts are reduced.
9.0 NATURALRESOURCE EXTRACTION
OBJECTIVES:9-2 The QounlV through the imptementation of the Comprehensive plan, Zoningand Special Use Permit policies, will address future compatibitity o"r"s ,rfhcurrent mining operations.
9.3 The County will ensure that mineral extraction activities witt not adversely affectthe natural environment, including air quality, water quality, witdtife habitat or
i m portant v isu al resources.
1O.O URBAN AREA OF INFLUENCE
GOAL:
Ensure that development and ovegt!land use policies occurring in the County that wittaffect a municipalrty are compatibte with the existing zonini and future land useobjectives of the appropriate municipatity.
Staff Response: The City of Rifle's Land Use Map and Rifle Airport Master plan identifiesthe PUD as industrial, light industrial, commerciai, mixed use business, and open space.The PUD amendmen! has incorporated these components along wiih agriculture andresidential land uses which are inconsistent with Rifle's Comprehensiie elan.
!v. tsEVtEW CRITERIA SECTTON 4_201 (B)
The ULUR allows for amendments to an approved Planned Unit Development in Section 6-201(G) Amendment to an Approved P|JD and cites the reference requiring an amendment to followthe review process in Section 4-201, Rglolng. Certain criteria mirst be met to approve arezoning and are listed in Section 4-201 (B), Reioning Criteriaand listed below;
Section.tl'z91 (B) Rezoning Criteria. Unless otherwise provided in these Regulations, anapplication for rezoning must meet the following criteria.
1- IVo Spof Zoning. The proposed rezoning woutd result in a togical and orderlydevelopment pattern and wourd not constitute spot zoning.

Planning Cofr-mission October rr, rr0Jl
Staff Response: The proposed land uses with the PUD text and map amendment do not
constitute spot zoning. The existing land uses within the PUD do not change with new
uses added to the PUD zone classifications as noted above.
Z. Change in Area. The area to which the proposed rezoning would apply has changed or
is changing to such a degree that rt is in the public interest to encourage a new use or
density in the area.
Staff Response: The surrounding area has changed since the approval of the PUD.
This change has been in the direction of office, commercial, industrial, and institutional
reflected witn tne addition of County offices (Sheriffs Complex, Regional Airport
Complex, and Road and Bridge facility), Colorado Mountain College, Rifle Generating
Station, and the extension the airport runway. These changes are uses that are
indicated in the existing PUD.
J. Demonstrated Community Aleed. The proposed rezoning addresses a demonstrated
community need with respect to facilities, serytbes or housing-
Extraction
ffre npplicant indicates that this temporary use is crucial for surrounding area
development projects. The ability to excavate soil is necessary to support economical
construction activities. A current example is the need for fill material in the reconstruction
and extension of the runway at the Garfield County Regional Airport.
Staff Response: The ULUR defines Extraction as:
tndustrial Use or- Aetivity. Uses engaged in processir"ig manufacturing of materials
from either extracted or raw mateials-or from previously prepared mateials resulting in
a new product designed for wholesale or retail sale-
1. Extraction: to draw out or forth; hence to derive as if by drawing out"; removal of
physicat matter in a sotid or liquid state from its naturatty occuning location; the'initiat step in utitization of a natural resource; examples include shale and coal
mines, gravel pits, timber cufting;
Extraction of soil materials would fall within this definition due to the movement of soil
material that is needed for building the airport runway. This type of extraction would
also be required to be reviewed through the Major lmpact Review process. However,
the movement of soil for the purposes of "...roadwork, drainage control, landscape and
parcel grading, and preparation' can be accomplished through other permits and
wouldn'[need such an in-depth review process such as a Major lmpact Review.
Under the ULUR, extraction is not allowed in residential or commercial zone districts.
For this reason and since the movement of earth can be managed through other County
permits Staff recommends that no extraction be allowed within any residential districts of
the PUD more specifically districts Residential/Single Family (RySF), Residential/Urban
(RyUD), and Mobile Home Park (MHP). Staff also recommends not allowing extraction
in the'Public Administi-ationiFacilities (PA/F) zone disti'ict since this disti-ict contains
buildings and any earth movement can be accomplished through a grading permit.
6
o ct,i"riPlanning on October 13,2010
MOL
However, with the close proximity of several of the commercial zone districts to the
GCRA it makes sense for extraction to be allowed in the PUD commercial districts
including Commercial/Airport Services (C/AS), Commercial/Convenience Retail (C/CR),
and Commercial/Office Research (C/OR). Under the URLA, extraction within the rural,
industrial, and resource lands (all subareas) are reviewed through the Major lmpact
Review process. For this reason, Staff supports extraction in the other remaining pUD
districts indicated such as lndustrial/General Service (l/GS), Recreational/Campei park
(RyC P), a nd Ag ricultu ral/lndustriat/Open Space (A/I/OS).
Solar Power Generatinq System
The Applicant indicates that this land use provides for the addition of "green' energy
generating sources for the community and region, enhancing their sustiinability. The
solar generated electricity can be switched into the nearby power substation and
attached electrical grid. The PUD provides access to the large land areas that are
needed to support solar generating fields.
Staff Response: The Garfield County Comprehensive Plan of 2000 encourages
homeowners to implement solar design in their homes but is silent about the support of
larger commercial solar power generating systems. ln addition, the ULUR does not
allow this land use within residential districts. Therefore, Staff recommends that
commercial solar power generating systems not be allowed within any residential zone
district (R/SF, R/UD, and MHP) of the PUD. The ULUR does allow solar power
generating systems within rural, commercial, industrial, and resource lands (subareas:
gentle and plateau) districts by Major lmpact Review and therefore Staff would support
this use within all other districts specified in this application.
Storaoe Areas and Facilities
The Applicant believes that this use supports the burgeoning gas industry by providing
storage space for vehicles, equipment, parts and supplies. The PUD provides areas for
storage that are separated from higher valued, more visible land uses. The avaitability of
outdoor storage will support general economic development of the community and
region.
Staff Response: Storage Areas and Facilities can be further defined as follows:
lndustrial Use or Activity. Uses engaged in processing, manufacturing of materials
from either extracted or raw materials or from previously prepared materials resutting in
a new product designed for wholesale or retail sale.
storage: act of storing or state of being stored, specificaily, the safe keeping of
goods in a warehouse or other depository", examples include products and open
storage of mineral storage piles of gravel, ore and shate;
Under the ULUR, this use is allowed as a use by right in the commercial and industrial
zone districts and reviewed through the Limited lmpact Review process in the rural and
resource lands (subareas: plateau and gentle) districts. Also, the ULUR does not allow
this proposed land use within any residential district. Staff supports the Storage and
Facilities land use in all zone districts specified through this application with the
exception of residential districts (R/SF, R/UD, and tvlHP) since this land use is not
compatible with a residential use.

4. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and lntergovernmental Agreements. The
proposed rezoning is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and any applicable'intergovernmental
agreemeni affecting tand use or development or an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan approved prior to filing a rezoning request.
Staff Response: The Comprehensive Plan of 2000 allows the proposed land uses of:
Extraction, Solar, and Storage Areas and Facilities. However, Solar Power Generating
Systems is not discussed splcifically under the Comprehensive Plan but rather solar for
residential housing. The Comprehensive Plan also doesn't specifically state which
zoning districts these land uses are allowed to occur.
As per an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Rifle and Garfield County, any
application withr:n the Area of tnfluence of a municipality/town will be a referral and
allowed to comment on the given application. A referral packet was sent to the City of
Rifle.
ln the review of this application, the City of Rifle Comprehensive Plan was considered'
This Plan shows the aiea of the PUD as business, commercial, industrial, and open
space. The PUD is therefore inconsistent with the Plan since it contains residential
areas. The City of Rifle did indicate in their referral response that they are not
concerned with the proposed residential uses and if the PUD is annexed to the City of
Rifle the PUD would have to reflect their Comprehensive Plan.
5. Original Zone Designation lncorrect. The proposed rezoning addresses errors in the
original zone district maP.
Staff Response: The original zone designation is PUD and this amendment does not
change the PUD zoning tistrict designation and there were no errors in the original
zonin-g districts within this PUD. tne LOOeO land uses expand what is permitted within
each PUD district.
6. Adequate Water Supply. Such an apptication to rezone a property from one district to
another district shatlbe iequired to demonstrate the maximum water demand required to
serye the most intensive use in the resulting zone district pursuant to Atticle 7-104 of this
Resolution.
Staff Response: A portion of the PUD has potable water and waste water service from
the City of Rifle. These services are supplied to the Road and Bridge and Corrections
buildings, Sheriff Complex, Airport Complex, and Fire Station. Service to other portions
of the pUO is possible through a prior approval with the City of Rifle and payment of
appropriate "out of area" rates.

PUD admendment - PDAA-6349
Molly,
I have reviewed the application for a pUD Amendment and rext Amendment for the Airport Land Partners (file number
PDAA-6349. The following are the fire district's comments:
l. page 36 - 1"t sentence- wording should reflect intent. lt appears that it is missing a word that would indicate that
thjproposed PUD changes do not affect the water supply'
2. pUD appears to address water suppty r* tir" proteaiori idequately. Pg 38..Section7-104 A # 5 indicates that it
has been assessed and is adequate.'lt references that the water suppt! will comply with seclion.T-403.which is
not included , but I assume meets the fire code standards. lt should be noted that with the county's
adoption of the 200g IRC , all singte ia;ily homeswillprobably need to.have fire sprinklers installed starting in
January, 2013. The ftre district oo"r noi nLii"r"1r'iwirr.affectihe quantity of water required but it may affect the
pressures. No action is required at this time as this can be addressed at ine individual home level or in the system
design for this development. - :- :-a--ri^-^r !.,,+ ;r na$ nraaca3. pgs 30-34- Vlll pre-Application conference Form- is blank. I believe this is intentional but if not please resubmit'
4. pg 35- Storagi Area b'Facilities- Thii "ddr""."* a need in the local gas energy industry for storage and
warehouses. The building permit system will address construction requirements but the operational.fu.nctions may
increase hazardous materials storage ano handling. Experience has shown that sometimes what will be or can be
stored affects the design and construction but this is sometimes determined after a building is constructed'
Although no action is required at tnis time, awareness of the possibility of storage and handling of hazardous
materials in this development is important. lf this is incompatible to the owners, airport, county planning or zoning
it might be best to address this now.
lf there are any questions , please let me knowl
