Page 49:

Nutrient Farm is a sustainable holistic community revolving around an organic working farm. Non-organic chemical use will be prohibited, and electro-magnetic radiation emissions will be minimized on the property by the Owner/ Developer, which could potentially cause contamination to the farm, its residents, or guests.

Page 49-50

There will likely be an increase in airborne particulate matter as a result of equipment operations producing  fugitive dust during construction access improvements, vegetation clearing, and during earthwork phases of construction. This area commonly has windy springtime months, and dust control will need to be adequately planned and scheduled during the spring months.

Page 11:

As a fully operational farm, it is expressly contemplated that Nutrient Farm shall process, store, and distribute agricultural products, for both on-site sale of completed products, and or off-site sale and distribution of materials and products for further off-site processing and commercial distribution. All such production and distribution shall adhere to the following standards under this PUD Guide:

1) Limited processing of Nutrient Farm animals to prepare them for commercial distribution is allowed.

2) At a minimum, 20% of any agricultural product that is processed, stored, distributed, and/or sold must be produced on-site.

3) On-site production shall include the receiving, sorting, alteration, and distribution of agricultural products.

4) Alteration of agricultural products specifically includes, without limit, cleaning, sorting, grading, mixing, slicing, drying, freezing, packaging, milling, cooking, baking, canning, fermentation, or storage of products intended for human or animal consumption or use.

5) Accessory Buildings reasonably necessary for Agricultural Products Processing, Storage, Distribution, and Sale at Point of Productions and Agricultural Products, Processing, Storage, Distribution, and Sale Off-Site are allowed, subject to the restraints set forth in this PUD and if applicable, the LUDC, including kitchens, refrigeration and storage areas, staff facilities and small retail areas.

WILDLIFE IMPACT

Bald Eagles (page 30):

As currently mapped, the Project is located within bald eagle winter and summer range habitat that extend along the length of the Colorado River. The Property is also upstream from a known bald eagle nest site, which was confirmed to be active as of March 29, 2020. The Property is outside the protective 0.5-mile buffer established for the active nest ( Figure 4).

Black Bear (page 34)
This development would have minor to insignificant impacts on bear populations or bear habitat availability, but black bears will take advantage of the PUD to supplement their diets. Because of the extensive orchards planned, it should be expected that the level of conflict with black bears could dramatically increase, and the Property should be treated as a Black Bear Human Conflict Area when considering the development proposal.

River Otters (page 32-33)

Increases in human activity ( and assumedly pet dogs) would occur, and human activities along the banks of the river would likely reduce habitat effectiveness for river otter, and while otters may still occur in the river, they would not likely linger for long periods or establish up dens along the riverbanks near the boat ramp or Nutrient Farm PUD Impact Analysis Report 33 even near riverside trails. Foraging activity may still occur, but again if there are more continuous human activities along the banks, then otters would likely cease foraging activities and move to stretches of the river with less human activity.

The cumulative impacts of the proposal LoVa Trail in this area would additionally increase human activities near the river, and could further reduce habitat effectiveness along the river, especially during the spring, summer and fall months when the trail would be most active.

Mule Deer (pages 2 and 40) 

Development of the Property would impact areas of mapped mule deer Winter Range and Severe Winter Range. While north-facing slopes are mapped as winter range, once winter snows accumulate mule deer would likely move to more suitable winter ranges on more south facing slopes, such as to the east in the Vulcan basin.

Development of native shrubland habitats at the southern end of the parcel would nevertheless reduce important early- and late-season winter range habitats, even if most recreational activities have ceased for the winter. While it is unknown how many mule deer utilize winter range habitats in the PUD area, any losses of winter range habitat can be concerning, and would have cumulatively negative impacts on mule deer winter range.

The outdoor music venues, recreational facilities including motorized ( OHV) track, trail and outdoor adventure parks would introduce much different land uses and human activity patterns to the area, including increased fugitive lighting and sound from both the music venues and the motorized tracks. These impacts would be significantly different than current land use patterns in the area, but measures have been proposed in the PUD to help mitigate any potential impacts.

Page 51:

The construction phases of the proposed PUD would be limited to daytime hours. Post-construction would have a range of hours depending on the proposed use within the PUD. The agricultural areas which include East and West farms would have the most activity during daylight hours on both weekdays and weekends. The outdoor recreational areas and special events within the Property would operate until midnight. This would include potential concerts with amplified music.

Page 51:

The numerical and graphical sound modeling results for the music venue and for the OHV track indicated that worst case scenarios” of sound generation are predicted to be over the CRS sound limits and would create a public nuisance” for Residential zone standards for both daytime and nighttime operations. Low music amplification, sound dampening, and additional sound modelling work will be needed to develop a plan which would keep the sound levels consistent with CRS 25-12-103 standards.

Nutrient Farm PUD has already indicated that preventative sound barriers, insertion loss and sound mitigation strategies are being developed to reduce the numbers indicted above. By doing so, it will help prevent these proposed uses from being a public nuisance to nearby residences.

Traffic volumes on CR 335 east of Park Drive are estimated for the following scenarios:

• Baseline 2022 – CR 335 Average Daily Traffic of 400-500 vehicles per day
• 2042 Background – CR 335 Average Daily Traffic of 700-800 vehicles per day
• 2042 Total (less Music) – CR 335 Average Daily Traffic of 2300 vehicles per day

Page 33:

At full build out, traffic generated from the Nutrient Farm project would likely generate 1,730 additional VPD, raising the level of vehicle use along CR-335 to 2,200 VPD. This amount is still well below traffic levels at which more noted avoidance of wildlife crossing attempts begin to occur. Further, given the 35 mph road speeds, traffic levels are also mitigated by the slower road speeds.

These volumes would not likely produce temporary barriers to wildlife movement across CR-335 but may produce conditions mildly hazardous for wildlife crossing. However, as detailed in the SGM traffic report, these peak traffic periods are relatively short-lived, and during much of the day and especially at night, and wildlife would easily be able to cross CR-335.
