Britta Fisher, director of WR2020, thanked the Council and staff for partnering with the
Leadership Committee in support of the Holiday Celebration on December 2. 1500
people were in attendance.
Jesse Hill, resident of District 1, said he is excited to hear Council is considering video
broadcasting of the study sessions. He also suggested to Council to get ahead of the
curve and provide video that can be accessed on smart phones and tablets, and
possibly get it on Youtube. That's how the next generation gets most of their
information. He is willing to donate a camera that could accomplish that.
Ted Heyd, of LiveWell WR, discussed the group's circulation of a 38th Ave
endorsement letter which highlights the benefits of the corridor. They want to build up

DECISIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND MOTIONS
3. Motion to Ratify Mayoral Appointment to the Housing Authority
[This Agenda Item will come forward at the next available meeting.]
4. Motion to award ITB-12-26 32nd Ave. Widening Project to Concrete Works of
Colorado, Lafayette, CO in the amount of $4,600,776.34
Mr. Stites introduced Agenda Item 4.
In March 2011, the City was awarded a federal grant (through Denver Regional Council
of Governments (DRCOG)) for widening 32nd Ave. from Braun Court to Wright Court.
The project will include reconstruction with additional turn lanes at key intersections to
improve capacity and reduce traffic congestion. It will also address safety and
operational improvements at the west-bound 1-70 off-ramp at 32nd Avenue and adjacent
intersections. -This interchange was originally constructed using a non-standard
design and has never operated efficiently. The burden of the interstate highway traffic
on the local street network and the congestion during afternoon peak hours is
unacceptable. The total construction amount is estimated at $5,517,000. The federal
grant will cover $2,924,000; Jefferson County will provide matching funds of
$1 ,250,000; the balance of $1,343,000 will be funded by the City.
Motion by Mr. Stites to award ITB-12-26, 32nd Avenue Widening Project to Concrete
Works of Colorado, Lafayette, CO, in the amount of $4,600,776.34, and to approve a
contingency amount of $460,000 with the Director of Public Works being authorized to
issue change orders up to a total contract and contingency amount of $5,060, 776.34;
seconded by Mr. De Mott; carried 7-0.

Motion by Mr. Stites to charge $14,000 to the Capital Investment Fund and deposit

CITY MANAGER'S MATTERS Mr. Goff reported having taken a tour today at Lutheran
of their new Senior Behavioral Health unit. They hope to have 8 beds filled when they
open January 2, and will eventually have 22 beds. He also wished Wheat Ridge
citizens Happy Holidays. He thanked the Mayor, Council and staff for a very productive
year and looks forward to many good things to come to Wheat Ridge in 2013.
CITY ATTORNEY'S MATTERS Mr. Dahl informed Council that he will be putting
together a memo for them on the subjects of recusal and conflicts of interest, and how
they affect voting. If they have further questions after the memo they can call him. If
there are numerous questions he may suggest a study session discussion.
CITY CLERK'S MATTERS Mrs. Shaver wished the Council and all the faithful viewers
out in Channel 8 TV Land a Merry Christmas.
ELECTED OFFICIALS' MATTERS
Mr. Reinhart thought the turnout for the lighting on 38th Avenue was wonderful and is
glad to see the community support. -He's glad to see Concrete Works coming on to do
32"d & Youngfield. He has seen Concrete Works in bids for over a decade and he looks
forward to having them work in the City.
Mrs. Langworthy and her family attended the Christmas Tree Lighting and she thinks it
was exciting to see new people visiting our shops and being welcomed to the City.
Ms. Davis wished everyone happy holidays and commented that she thinks it's nice to
see evidence of the holiday spirit in the neighborhoods-more so than it used to be.
Mr. Stites commented that 45 years ago when 1-70 was built they knew it [32"d &
Youngfield] was wrong. The state promised to come back and fix it. So here we are
now 45 years later finally getting it taken care of-and he's tickled pink. -He was at the
tree lighting ceremony and he said it was fantastic to see so many people on 38th
Avenue. -He reminded everyone that lots of people are hurting these days, and with
Christmas coming he urged folks to find someone they can help.
Mr. Starker thanked everyone for the support on 38th Avenue and wished all the
citizens a warm and happy Christmas and New Year.
Mrs. Jay mentioned the program called Shop and Win that is sponsored by the Wheat
Ridge Business Association. If you spend $5 or more in Wheat Ridge eight different
times, you are eligible to win prizes. It's recommended to save your receipts. The
forms and all the details are available at Wheatridgebiz.com . [Clerk's note: the address
for the WR Business Association is ewheatridge.com ] Mrs. Jay said the prizes are
grand.
City Council Minutes December 10, 2012 Page 5
Mayor DiTullio thanked all the organizations that helped put the lighting ceremony
together. He thanked Patrick Goff and Joyce Manwaring for flipping the switch for him,
as he was home with the flu and couldn't attend. -He thanked the businesses that
have been helping at the high school with the Career Exploration class. Pietra's,
Gunsmoke and Larson's Ski & Sport in particular have been having student's job-
shadow. -He also gave a special "hats off' to Tip Top Tree. This business has been
here for some time and they have recently been helping some businesses and residents
who have dead trees and can't afford to have them cut down. Tip Top has actually
been doing some work at no charge to help them remove dead trees, and that is greatly
appreciated. -He wished everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy
New Year.
Meeting adjourned at 7:30pm.

City Council for the City of Wheat Ridge, CO
RE: 12600 W. 42ncl Avenue, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033
Dear Council Members;
Please consider this our letter of legal Protest regarding the petition/application for the rezoning of the
above mentioned property to Mixed Use Neighborhood. David and Kathryn Murphy are the owners of
the property located at 12700 W. 4:2n" Avenue, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033, directly adjacent to the West of
subject property. We do NOT feel MUN would be appropriate and would have a negative impact on this
neighborhood.
The traffic through this neighborhood is high already. At the corner of Xenon and 44th is a business that
we all were assured would not have a negative impact on our neighborhood. It has had nothing but a
negative impact. There is a lot of traffic on W. 42nd Avenue and Xenon: Federal Express, UPS, Grainger,
and that does not include the vehicles from Parks and Recreation, cut-through traffic, the delivery trucks
for the headstone business, the 18 wheelers that quite often come through, and then all the traffic from
Head Start, Johnston Construction, Radio Resource, Beds and Biscuits, All About Paws, trash trucks and
the folks test driving RV's. Oh and then we have the people that live down here.
Both of these streets are narrow and we and our neighbors have had to put up stakes so the people
from Head Start do not park on our grass or when they park on the street and there is through traffic
there is not always enough room for that traffic to use the road so they drive on our properties to get
by. When I asked a lady not to park on my grass I was told I am a racist. Really?!
Right now as it stands most of the traffic is during the week so we do have somewhat of a reprieve on
the weekends. However, we do not from all the lighting. MUN would allow for a business to go in with
City requirements for proper outside lighting. The residents cannot construct any fence high enough to
keep out all of the lighting that has invaded the area, including the huge freeway lights (which the City
cannot do anything about).
We are asking the City to protect our neighborhood, we have as much right to our way of living as much
as Mr. Rock has to sell his property. He does not live down here and has made it clear he does not want
nor intend to live in this neighborhood, he just wants to be able to sell that property. We are asking you
to vote NO, as did the Planning Commission, on this MUN rezoning petition/application.

pro-rated costs for County employee overtime and temporary employee regular and overtime related
to the preparation and conduct of the Election, at each employee's pay rate or, if such costs do not
exceed $1.000, then $1000, whichever is greater. The Jurisdiction's pro-rated costs shall be
determined in accordance with the formula set forth in Exhibit A attached to, and incorporated into,
this Agreement."
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that City Council approve the supplemental budget request.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution No. 02-2013 - a resolution amending the fiscal year 2012 general
fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of

EXHIBIT A
C ALCULA TJON OF ELECTION COSTS FOR A JURISDICTION
I) Each ballot sl)'le is comprised of different combinations of jurisdictions on the ballot. For example
Ballot Style I might include the Counl)' and State only, Ballot Style 2 might include the County, the
State and the Jurisdiction.
2) The Counl)' Clerk first determines the total nwnber of voters for each ballot sl)'le by utilizing a
computer program after ballot informa1ion Is entemi Into its system. lben, the total nwnber of voters
for each jurisdiction by ballot style is determined by taking the total number of voters for each ballot
sl)'le and dividing this number by the number of jurisdictions panicipating in such ballot style. Using
the scenario in number I above. if Ballot Sl)'le 2 had 99 voters. then each entily would be allocated 33
voters because three jurisdictions share that ballot style (99 divided by 3 33).
3) The total number of voters a jurisdiction is allocated pursuant to the formula in number 2 above is then
divided by the total number of registered voters in the Counl)'. Using the example set forth above for
Ballot Sl)'le l, each jurisdiction is allocated 33 voters. Thus. 33 is divided by the tocal number of
registered voters to determine the percentage for which each jurisdiction is responsible in connection
with Ballot Sl)'Je 2. For example, ifthe total numberofregislered voters was 10,000, then each
jurisdiction would be responsible for .33'"• for Ballot Style 2 (33 divided by 10,000 .0033 or .33%).
4) After all ballot sl)'les are tallied. the percentages for the ballot styles for each jurisdiction are added
together to get that jurisdiction's grand total percentage. For example, if the Jurisdiction was included
in three ballot sl)'les and the Jurisdiction's resulting percentages for the three ballot sl)'les was 0.6%,
0.25%, and 3.S,.,,, the sum of these percentages for the three ballot styles would result in a grand total of
4.35% (0.6 0.25 3.5 4.35%).
S) The resulting percentage grand total d~ribed In the formula in number 4 above is then used to
determine a jurisdiction's total COSI for the election. for example, if the Jurisdiction's grand total
percentage was 4.35~. and the total cost of the election was $200.000. then the Jurisdiction would owe
$8700.00 ($200,000 multiplied by .043S $8700.00).
There is a S I 000 minimwn charge, so no jurisdiction will be charged less than S I 000. A II numbers used above
are for illustration only. The Jurisdiction shall not assume the above examples reflect Its actual or estimated
cost for the Election. See also sample chart below for further illustration.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This is part of the upgrade, replacement and standardization of the City's computer network.
These funds are budgeted in the Administrative Services, IT Division 2013 budget.
BACKGROUND:
The City is on a five-year desktop replacement schedule. It is defined whereby IT replaces the
computers based on a five-year life span. There are approximately 275 desktop computers in the
City. A rotation has been defined that allows the replacement of about one fifth of the computers
each year. This year we are replacing 50 units. The computer specifications are based on the
latest Intel specifications and are sized-based on user requirements. Each year an RFP is issued
by Purchasing to any interested bidders.
Council Action Form
January 14,2013
Page 2
On January 3, 2013, seven bids were received. All bids met the initial bid requirements. The
apparent low bidder was Howard Technology Solutions in the total amount of $33,900.
However, the bid did not meet the technical specification. The next runner up was JPK Micro
Supply, Inc., in the total amount of $36,300, which is an increase of $2,400 but is an exact match
to the specification. Award is based on the lowest most responsive and responsible bid. Staff has
evaluated the bids and recommends award to JPK Micro Supply, Inc. in the amount of$36,300.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
IT staff recommends purchasing 50 computers in 2013, maintaining the five-year rotation basis,
from JPK Micro Supply, Inc. in the total amount of $36,300. This will improve the availability,
speed, features and reliability of the City's desktop deployment. This is part of the upgrade,
replacement and standardization of the City's computer network. These funds are budgeted in

ISSUE:
The November 2012 sales tax increment for the Wheat Ridge Town due to Renewal Wheat
Ridge is $68,094.80. Expenditures over $35,000 require City Council approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The 2012 budget includes a total of $393,000 for sales tax increment share back with the Wheat
Ridge Urban Renewal Authority (Authority).
BACKGROUND:
The City adopted the Wheat Ridge Town Center Urban Renewal Plan on December 14, 1981,
which provided for the utilization of propert~ and sales tax increment in the commercial area east
of Wadsworth Boulevard, between West 381 Avenue and West 441
h Avenue. The property tax
increment expired in 2006, after 25 years. Through an IGA between the City and the Authority
signed on June 26, 2006, the sales tax increment was amended so that the maximum increment
for the Wheat Ridge Town Center Project paid to the Authority shall not exceed $100,000 in any
fiscal year and the increment was extended to and including December 31, 2008. An amendment
to the IGA in October 2007 removed the $100,000 annual cap and extended the agreement to and
including December 31, 2014 . In September, 2011 the City Council approved , via Resolution

No. 49-2011, to increase the payment from 50% to 100% of the sales tax increment to the
Authority through December 31, 2014.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends distribution of the sales tax increment for November of fiscal year 2012 in the
amount of $68,094.80.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve payment of the sales tax increment for November of fiscal year 2012 from
the Town Center Project in the amount of$68,094.80 to the Wheat Ridge Urban Renewal
Authority."

QUASI-JUDICIAL: D YES
Chief of Police
ISSUE:
The Wheat Ridge Police Department has the periodic need to send police officer recruits to
training academies. TI1e City does not have the resources to operate a training academy of its
own. This resolution approves an agreement under which the Police Department may send its
police officer recruits to a regional training academy operated by the City of Lakewood and the
Jefferson County Sheriffs Office (the "Academy").
PRIOR ACTION:
A similar agreement was approved by City Council on July 9, 2012. The City of Lakewood
requires all intergovernmental agreements to be approved annually.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost to the City to send its recruits to the Academy is $ 4,200 per recruit. The Po l ice
Department has hired five police recruits, so the total academy cost is $21 ,000.
BACKGROUND:
In Colorado, a person must pass certain tests and minimum standards requi r ed by the Colorado
Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Board to be qualified as a police officer. As is the
Council Action Fonn-IGA for PO Recruit Training
January 14, 2013
Page 2 .. . .
case with other area law enforcement agencies, the Wheat Ridge Police Department occasionally
hires new police officer candidates who have not already been trained to be police officers and
who have not yet obtained POST certification. These police officer candidates must be fully
trained and obtain POST certification before performing any duties as police officers.
The training of new police officers commonly occurs in an academy atmosphere where many
recruits receive the same training at one time. The Police Department does not have the
resources to provide such extensive training and typically sends its new recruits to academies
operated by outside agencies. The Police Department has found this practice to be a cost-
effective way of providing recruits with quality training. At the end of the Academy, recruits are
given the POST certification written examination. If a recruit passes this test, he or she obtains
the state certification necessary to be a police officer.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution No. 04-2013, a resolution approving an Intergovernmental
Agreement between the City of Wheat Ridge and the City of Lakewood concerning academy
training for police officer recruits."
Or,
"I move to postpone indefinitely Resolution No. 04-2013, a resolution approving an

Community Development Director City Manager
ISSUE:
The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Agricultural-One (A-I) to Mixed Use-
Neighborhood (MU-N) for property located at 12600 W. 42"d Avenue.
The proposed rezoning area includes one parcel; the total size is approximately 1.1 acres.
Currently the subject property is vacant, and the purpose of the zone change request is to provide
the owner with expanded options for development of the site.
The zone change is the first step in the process for approval of future development on this site. If
approved, and prior to any construction, an administrative site plan review will be required to
confirm that proposed development meets the standards of the mixed use zone district.
PRIOR ACTION:
Planning Commission heard the request at a public hearing on October I 8, 2012 and
recommended denial for the following reasons:
I. The majority of the request does not meet the zone change criteria.
2. More commercial use further destroys the integrity of the neighborhood.
Case No. WZ-12-08 /Rock
Council Action Form
January 14, 2013
Page 2
3. The proposed zone change does not seem to create a buffer but rather encourages more
commercial conversion.
There were six members of the public who spoke in opposition to the request. Complaints were
related to impacts to the neighborhood from existing and future businesses including lighting and
traffic.
It has been suggested in different venues, including the neighborhood meeting, that it would be
preferable for the property owner to maintain the existing A-1 zoning and build a new single
family residence. Staff questions whether this would be a desirable location for a new home given
the mix of land uses and return on investment for the owner.
The staff report and meeting minutes from the Planning Commission public hearing have been
attached for additional back!:,JfOund information .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Fees in the amount of $1 ,175 were collected for the review and processing of Case No. WZ-12-08.
If the proposed rezoning is approved and results in development, there could be an advancement
of the City 's goals for economic development and the creation of a diverse and resilient tax base.
BACKGROUND:
The subject parcel is located at 12600 W . 42nd Avenue, at the southwest corner ofW. 42nd
Avenue and Xenon Street; it is south and east oflnterstate-70 and immediately north ofthe Clear
Creek Greenbelt.
Property Hist01y
The property is currently zoned Agricultural-One (A-1 ), which allows for single-family dwellings
and agricultural uses. The applicant purchased the property in 1998, but the site has remained
undeveloped since that time. In 2003 and in 2004, the applicant met with staff to discuss the
possibility of rezoning to a planned commercial development (PCD). The PCD zone change
proposal did not move forward; however, the property was consolidated from two lots to one in
2005 in anticipation of future development (Case No. MS-05 -02).
The resulting parcel is trapezoidal in shape, with the western property line being nearly twice the
length of the eastern property line. The Lee & Baugh Ditch previously traversed the lot but was
relocated and now runs along the southern and eastern property lines. Currently, the subject
property is undeveloped and is the only vacant parcel along this portion ofW. 42"d Avenue.
Surrounding Land Uses
The surrounding properties include a variety of commercial and residential land uses and zoning
designations. To the west is a single-family residential home, to the east is the Prospect
Recreation and Park District administration and maintenance facility, and to the south are Clear
Creek and the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt. All three are zoned A-1 .
Council Action Form
January 14,2013
Page 3
Across 42"d A venue to the north are properties zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and
Restricted Commercial (RC). These include businesses such as Grainger Supply and Radio
Source, as well as the Jefferson County Head Start facility. The offices for Modem Log Homes
and a multi-tenant commercial building are located two lots to the west at the comer ofW. 42"d
Avenue and Youngfield; these are zoned NC and Commercial-One (C-1), respectively. Please
refer to the zoning map attached as Exhibit 4 in the Planning Commission staff report.
Current and Proposed Zoning
Under the current A-1 zoning, permitted uses include single family homes and some agricultural
functions. Under the proposed zoning, a single family home would still be a permitted use, but the
MU-N zoning expands development options to include live/work scenarios or neighborhood-
serving commercial uses. The applicant does not have any specific development plans but has
expressed a desire to see a live/work development and a site design that takes advantage of the
nearby Greenbelt and recreation opportunities.
The application has been through the standard referral process with no concerns raised by any
outside agencies or City departments. A separate referral process will be required as part of future
site development.
Planning Commission recommendation
As indicated earlier in this report, Planning Commission gave a recommendation of denial for this
case which was contrary to staffs recommendation for approval in the Planning Commission staff
report. City staff feels it essential to respect the Planning Commission recommendation and is
therefore bringing forth a recommendation of denial. A recommendation of approval has been
included as an option with reasons for approval consistent with the Planning Commission staff
report.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to DENY Council Bill No. 26-2012, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property
located at 12600 W. 42"d Avenue from Agricultural-One (A-1) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood
(MU-N) for the following reason(s):

2. The proposed zone change is compatible with the surrounding area.
3. The proposed zone change will not adversely impact the public health, safety, or welfare.

likelihood of the site developing and serving as a transitional site between existing
commercial and residential uses."

centers. The zone district is established to encourage medium density mixed use development in
which residential and civic uses are permitted, in addition to a limited range of neighborhood-serving
commercial and retail uses.
Under the current A-1 zoning. permitted uses include single family homes and some agricultural
functions. Under the proposed zoning, a single family home would still be a permitted use, but the
MU-N zoning expands development options to include live/work scenarios or neighborhood-serving
commercial uses. The applicant does not have any specific development plans but has expressed a
desire to see a live/work deve and a site that takes advantage of the Greenbelt views
and recreation opportunities
The following table compares the proposed and existing standards that apply to the subject property.
In general. the MU-N district is expected to make the subject property more developable by allowing
for a wider range of uses. The MU-N zone district also has enhanced architectural controls to ensure
compatibility with the variety of surrounding land uses.

Given the proximity of two single-family homes on the west side of the subject site. it should be noted
that the MU-N zone district includes standards which offset the potential impacts of commercial
development and taller buildings. To protect the existing residential properties. the following
regulations apply to all new MU-N development adjacent to single-or two-family homes:
• Screening is required wherever a parking lot abuts a residential use. including a 6-foot
landscape buffer and a 6-foot fence. wall, or hedge.
• A landscape butTer is required wherever a building abuts a residential use. This includes a
minimum I 0-foot wide landscape buffer for 1-to 2-story buildings. I 5 feet for 3-story
buildings. and 20 feet for a 4-story building.
• In addition to a landscape buffer. buildings over 2 stories must provide a 5-foot step back for
each additional upper floor.
• Any portion of a building within I 00 feet of a residential use may not be taller than 4 stories.
IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA
Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in section 26-122.£. The Planning
Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the following
criteria have been met:
1. The change of zone promotes the health, safet)·, and general welfare of the community and
will not result in a significant ad\'erse effect on the surrounding area.
The change of zone will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area. While
the new zoning would allow for medium density development on the now vacant lot. any proposed
development will require site plan review through which traflic impacts. drainage, and butTering
will be analyzed. Development proposals will be required to meet stonnwater drainage and water
quality requirements in order to be approved. therefore no drainage problems are anticipated.
The MU-N zoning is expected to add value to the subject property and also to the surrounding
community. The mixed use development standards will support compatibility between future
development and existing land uses. There are no architectural standards under the current A-1
zoning. so the enhanced design controls in the MU-N code are expected to benefit the character of
the area. Required upper floor stepbacks and landscape buffers will minimize impacts to adjacent
single family homes.
,\'taffconcludes that this criterion has heen met.
2. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are a\•ailable to sen•e the t)•pes of uses allowed by the
change of zone, or the applicant will upgrade and pro\'ide such where they do not exist or are
under capacity.
Prior to future development a site plan review application will be required. This application will
include a referral to all impacted utility agencies. In the event that current capacity is not adequate,
the property owner/de,·eloper will be responsible for utility upgrades.
Staffconcludes that this criterion has heen met.
Case Xo II Z-12-08 Rod.
3. The Planning Commission shall also find that at least one (1) of the following conditions
exists:
a. The change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with
the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies, and other
related policies or plans for the area.
The proposed zoning is consistent with the policies and goals in the 1-70/Kiplin~ Corridors
Urban Renewal Plan and the City"s comprehensive plan-Envision Wheal Ridge. Both plans
were adopted in 2009 and both recognize the need to improve underutilized properties through
investment. Because the MU-N zoning will allow for a wider range of uses on the property. the
zone change is expected to encourage investment in the site.
The Structure Plan map in Envision Wheat Ridge illustrates the community"s vision by
classifying different types of areas and corridors. It is not a parcel-based land use map. and
therefore does not show all existing and proposed land uses. In the Structure Plan.
W. 42"d A venue is shown with "neighborhood buffer·· and ''neighborhood" overlays.
The comprehensive plan calls for an improved mix of land uses in the transitional areas
between the City's high intensity commercial corridors and lower density residential
neighborhoods. The subject property is ideally situated to serve as a transitional site or
neighborhood buffer between the homes on Xenon Street and the businesses on W. 42"d
A venue and Youngfield Street.
By encouraging mixed use development and establishing specific design requirements. the
MU-N zoning provides tools and standards which support the City's goals of improving the
appearance and vitality of vacant sites.
Staff concludes that this cri/erion has been mel.
b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City
of Wheat Ridge is in error.
Staff has not found any evidence of an error with the current Agricultural-One (A-I) zoning
designation as it appears on the City's zoning maps.
Stajfconcludes thatthi!; criterion is not applicable.
c. A change of character in the area has occurred or is occurring to such a degree that it is
in the public interest to encourage redevelopment of the area or to recognize the changing
character of the area.
Over the last 12 years. the character of W. 42"d A venue has evolved as the north side of the
street has developed from vacant land into the viable commercial and public uses that exist
today .
In 2001. Modern Log Homes developed the property at 4288 Youngfield Street to include an
office and show home. In 2003. the one-story office building was completed at 12701 W. 42"d
5
Avenue. and in 2008, Jefferson County developed the school facility for its Head Start program
at 12725 W . 4211d Avenue.
By allowing residential and/or limited commercial uses. the proposed zone change is consistent
with the character of the street.
5itaff concludes that this criterion has heen met.
d. The proposed rezoning is necessaf1' in order to provide for a community need that was
not anticipated at the time of the adoption of the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive
plan.
The proposed rezoning does not relate to an unanticipated need.
S!a.(f concludes !hat this criterion is not applicahle.
V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
Prior to submittal of an application for a zone change. the applicant "as required to hold a
neighborhood input meeting in accordance with the requirements of section 26-109.
A meeting for neighborhood i Eight people from the neighborhood
were in attendance
VI. AGENCY REFERRAL
All affected service agencies were contacted regarding the ability to serve the property. Any applicant
for development will be responsible for providing upgrades. as needed. Referral responses in folio\\ in
regards to the zone change. Another referral process will occur in the future when a development
scenario is known.
Arvada Fire Protection District: No COJH.:erns.
Xcel Energy: No concerns.
Valley Water District: The district can proYide water service to the property.
Wheat Ridge Public Works: There are no concerns with the zone change: traffic and drainage
impacts will be reviewed with future development.
Wheat Ridge \Jrban Renewal Authority: No concerns: the board finds that the zone change does not
conflict with the urban renewal plan .
VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Stan· concludes that the proposed zone change is consistent with the Comprehensi\'e Plan and the
1-7 0 KiplinR ( 'orridors l 1rhan Rene11 ·a! Plan. Staff concludes that the zone change will be compatible
with the surrounding area allowing the site to scr\'e as a neighborhood buffer. Staff further concludes
('ave .\ o. II Z-/ :!-118 Ruck 6
that the subject property has long been an underutilized parcel and that property development may be
more likely under the mixed use zoning which allows for a wider range of uses.
Staff concludes that any applicant for development under the new zoning will. through the site plan
review process. be required to provide utility upgrades. as needed. Finally. staff concludes that the
proposed zone change will not adversely atTect public health. safety. or welfare; the architectural
controls, upper floor stepbacks. and landscaped buffer requirements of the mixed use district will
ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. Because the zone change evaluation criteria support
the zone change request. staff therefore provides a recommendation of approval.
VIII. SUGGESTED MOTIONS
Option A:
··1 move to recommend APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-12-08, a request for approval of a zone change
from Agricultural-One to Mixed Use-Neighborhood, for property located at 12600 W. 42"d Avenue.
for the following reasons:
1. The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive
Plan and the 1-70/Kip/in~ Corridor Urban Renewal Plan.
2. The proposed zone change is compatible with the surrounding area.
3. The proposed zone change will not adversely impact the public health. safety. or welfare.
4 . The subject property is currently underutilized. and a zone change may increase the likelihood
of the site de,·eloping and serving as a transitional site between existing commercial and
residential uses ...
Option B:
"I move to recommend DENIAL of Case No. WZ-12-08. a request for approval of a zone change from
Agricultural-One to Mixed Usc-Neighborhood. for property located at 12600 W. 42"d Avenue. for the

Members of the public present: There were seven area residents and/or property owners to attendance. A
written response was submitted from David and Joan Amdahl , 4235 Vivian Street. who could not be in
auendance. See attached sign-up sheet.
Applicant's Proposal: In 2003, the applicant first proposed a zone change for the property. At that time,
any zone change would have required a planned development. With the adoption of mixed use zone districts
in 2010, the applicant is now proposing a zone change to Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) to provide a
mixed use building with ground floor offices and upper floor residences .
No specific designs or site plan have yet been drawn. The applicant is proposing a development that would
take advantage of the Greenbelt views and recreation opportunities and would provide around-the-dock
presence on the property from residents and employees.
Existing Conditions: The property is located at the southwest comer ofW. 42...t Avenue and Xenon Street.
The parcel is tentatively addressed as 12600 W. 42nd Avenue. and is identified as PIN 39-203-06-003 . The
property is currently zoned Agriculture-One (A-I).
(·use So. If Z-/ :!-08 Rod 14
The surrounding properties include a variety of land uses and zoning designations. To the immediate south,
west, and east are properties also zoned A· I. To the west is a single-family residential home, to the east is
the Prospect Recreation and Park District administration and maintenance facility. and to the south is Clear
Creek and the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt.
Across 42nd Avenue to the north are properties zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and Restricted
Commercial (RC). lbese include businesses such as Grainger Supply and Radio Source, as well as the
Jefferson County Head Start facility. At the comer ofW. 42nd Avenue and Youngfield, just two lots to the
west. are the offices for Modem Log Homes and a multitenant commercial building zoned Conunerciai-One
(C-1 ).
In preparation for future development. a consolidation plat was approved in December 2005 for the property.
The resulting parcel is trapezoidal in shape; the western property line is nearly twice the length of the eastern
property line. The subject property is the only vacant lot in the block. It is just over one acre in size at
47,748 square feet. The Lee & Baugh Ditch runs along the southern and eastern property lines. The
property is 3.5 acres in size and is located on the southwest comer ofW. 441h and Tabor St. The adjacent
properties along W. 44 1h are zoned C-1 with the exception of a small area on the property to the west. which
is zoned C-2. The areas to the south of the property are zoned A·l developed with single family homes and
open space.
The follo"iag iss•es were discussed:
What Is proposed to be buUt? The property owner is not sure yet. Perhaps a mixed use project with
live/work units with commer·cial on the bouomfloor and residential abo\•e that may be auractive to an
artist or someone with a small business such as a CPA. Another option may be a multi-fami~l' project.
Will Mr. Rock be Uvlng there and operating his roofmg company? No. the proposed Mixed Use
Neighborhood ::oning on the property ·would not allow a contractor's office.
When did Mr. Rock buy the property? Mr. Rock purchased the property in /998.
What are the tax Implications If the property were rezoned and developed commerdaily? The
City of Wheat Ridge is not the taxing entity; it is Jefferson County. There should be an increase in
property taxes if it were developed commercia/~y.
The area residents wondered whether Mr. Rock would like to Uvc next to a commercial business
with tbe traffic, lights, aoise, trash trucks, etc. The neighborhood lnd.ialted thai they are not iD
favor of any more commercial land use In tbe area aDd would like to see the property developed

7. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Case No. WZ-12-08: An application flied by Matthew Rock for approval of a
zone change from Agricultural-One (A-1) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N)
for property located at 12600 W. 42nd Avenue.
Prior to introduction of this case, Commissioner GUILDNER requested that she be
recused from the case because she has known the applicants for a long time.
It was moved by Commissioner BRINKMAN and seconded by Commissioner
WEAVER to accept Commissioner GUILDNER'S recusal. The motion passed
6-1 with Commissioner MATTHEWS voting no and Commissioner GUILDER
abstaining.
Commissioner GUILDNER left the Council Chambers following the vote.
This case was presented by Lauren Mikulak. She entered into the public record the
contents of the case file, the zoning ordinance, and the digital presentation. All
notification and posting requirements have been met. There is jurisdiction to hear the
case. She reviewed the staff report and the digital presentation. Staff recommends
approval of the zone change.
Commissioner OHM asked if the City or applicant considered pedestrian and bicycle
access to the Clear Creek Trail. Ms. Mikulak replied that the proximity to the trail has
been of interest to the applicant, but direct access has not been considered at this time ..
In response to Commissioner BRINKMAN's question, Ms. Mikulak replied that she does
not know if the property is in or abuts the floodplain.
Commissioner BRINKMAN said that she has seen what looks like evidence of parking
on the property. Ms. Mikulak was not aware of what was making the marks. Staff has
worked with applicant to darify no parking or storage is permitted on a property without
a primary structure.
Commissioner BRINKMAN asked for clarification on the location of right of way lines
shown on the map. Ms. Mikulak confirmed the right-of-way line is set back from the
existing edge of pavement. Curb and gutter will likely need to be constructed when the
site develops.
In response to Commissioner BRINKMAN's question, Ms. Mikulak responded that
W. 42nd Avenue and Xenon are both classified as local streets.
Commissioner MATTHEWS commented that the back of the lot going down to the creek
is very steep and approximately 20 feet above Clear Creek, so that would likely answer
Commissioner BRINKMAN'S question that the property is likely out of the flood plain.

Commissioner MATTHEWS asked if utilities will be undergrounded ifthis property is
developed. Ms. Mikulak replied that the Mixed Use code may either request or require
undergrounding of utilities, but staff and the applicant haven't discussed this yet.
Commissioner MATTHEWS commented that underground utilities would definitely
improve the appearance of the neighborhood.
In response to Commissioner MATTHEWS' question about the Mixed Use zoning, Ms.
Mikulak explained that any portion of any building within I 00 feet of a single family
home may be no taller than four stories, no matter what the uses of the building are.
Commissioner MATTHEWS asked if the property is exempt from charter height
restrictions because it is in an Urban Renewal Area. Ms. Mikulak explained that the
Mixed Use-Neighborhood zoning does not get exempted so the 35-and 50-foot height
limits are hard caps.
In response to Commissioner BUCKNAM's question about the property to the east, Ms.
Mikulak replied that it is the maintenance facility of the Prospect Recreation and Park
District, the district that maintains parks in unincorporated Jefferson County. In addition
to a small administration building, they store fleet vehicles, maintenance tools, and picnic
tables at that location. Ms. Mikulak did not know their re&rular business hours or the
frequency of the traffic.
Commissioner BUCKNAM asked if there had been any discussion of rezoning to Mixed
Use-Commercial as opposed to Mixed Use-Neighborhood, because of the proximity of
warehouse and commercial directly to the north. Ms. Mikulak responded that there had
not been for several reasons: the proximity of single family homes to the west and north,
and the lower intensity MU-N district seems more appropriate. Also, in MU-N a
detached single family home is permitted, whereas in MU-C it is not permitted.
Chair TIMMS asked Ms. Mikulak when the NC and RC parcels to the north were
rezoned. Ms. Mikulak replied that they were rezoned at least 10 years ago. She
confirmed that the development of the lots is fairly recent.
In response to Chair TIMMS' question, Ms. Mikulak stated that she thinks the Parks and
Recreation District has occupied the site to the east for at least I 0 years.
In response to Chair TIMMS' question, Ms. Mikulak said there is no minimum lot size in
MU-N . Potentially, the applicant could subdivide this lot as long as they meet other
setback and parking requirements, but subdividing has not been discussed.
Chair TIMMS asked for more information on the limited commercial uses mentioned in
Ms. Mikulak's presentation. Ms . Mikulak replied that there are four mixed use zone
districts and they get pro&rressively more permissive. The Mixed Use-Neighborhood
zone district has the least amount of permitted uses. Ms. Mikulak read from the
permitted use chart.

In response to Chair TIMMS' question, Ms. Mikulak replied that no industrial uses are
allowed in MU-N.
Commissioner MATTHEWS asked if, the Grainger property across the street would be
allowed in MU-N. Ms. Mikulak replied that she is not familiar enough with the uses
inside ofthe building to respond . If it is only offices. it would be permitted. If there is
warehousing. then it would not be permitted.
Commissioner BUCKNAM added that it is a wholesale-retail operation. Ms. Mikulak
added that wholesaling is a conditional use in MU-N because of associated trucks traffic
Matthew Rock
10300 West 65th Avenue, Arvada, CO
Mr. Rock explained his reasons for requesting mixed use zoning of the property. He
envisions a development with limited businesses, such as a hairdresser. florist, or !,rift
shop. He would like to see an area where people can live, work, and recreate in the same
area. Mr. Rock thanked the Commission for their consideration of his request.
Commissioner BRINKMAN asked if Mr. Rock knew why there are tire tracks in the dirt
area on the site. Mr. Rock responded that since it is a vacant Jot and a dead end street, and
a school is next to it. people probably use the site as a turnaround point, or use the area
for parking. He doesn't know for sure.
Commissioner BRINKMAN asked Mr. Rock if he inquired about the flood plain when he
purchased the property in 1998. He responded that at the time of purchase they were
informed the property was above the tlood plain. It is his understanding that it is 25 feet
above the flood plain.
Commissioner BRfNKMAN asked if Mr. Rock has met any ofhis neighbors besides at
the neighborhood meeting. Mr. Rock stated that he knows the neighbor to the north, and
has had some association with the neighbor to the west.
Chair TIMMS noted that the legal description is Lot I Block I of the Rock Subdivision,
and asked if Mr. Rock platted the property. Mr. Rock confirmed that he platted the
property in 2003. Mr. Rock confirmed that previously the property was multiple lots and
it was consolidated into one larger lot.
Ms. Mikulak added that one of the previous lots was not developable. There was an
east/west diagonal lot line creating a small sliver on the southern portion of the lot,
essentially where the ditch is now located. The two lots were consolidated to make one
developable lot.
Chair TIMMS opened the public hearing.

Greg Boom
4200 Xenon St., Wheat Ridge, CO
Mr. Boom stated that he owns two pieces of property in the neighborhood. His residence
is at 4200 Xenon St. which is right next to the Parks facility, and 4225 Vivian St. which
is directly east of that. He provided his history in the neighborhood as well as his
complaints about traffic and commercial development in the area. He expressed his
displeasure about the change he sees occurring in the neighborhood and how it adversely
affects him and his neighbors' ways oflife.
Commissioner BRINIKMAN asked Mr. Boom if he knows how much traffic Grainger
Express has brought into the neighborhood. Mr. Boom thinks it has brought in
considerable traffic, but since he is not home during the day he can't be sure. The school
also brings in a lot oftraffic.
Commissioner BRINKMAN asked if there were signs on Xenon restricting truck traffic .
Mr. Boom replied that there are no signs, and he does not know if the neighborhood has
asked for it.
LaVonne Beckfeld
4365 Xenon, Wheat Ridge, CO
Mrs . Beckfeld stated she owns property at 4210 and 4365 Xenon St. She has lived there
since 1942 and she provided her history of the neighborhood. She expressed her
displeasure with the traffic, the business development, and what she perceives to be the
City's uncaring attitude toward the residents.
Commissioner BRINKMAN asked Mrs. Beckfeld if there is a ditch running through that
property. She replied that she did have, but does not now. In response to ~mother
question from Commissioner BRINKMAN, she doesn't remember if it is the Slater &
Moody ditch.
Cindy Beckfeld
4365 Xenon St.,
Wheat Ridge, CO
Ms. Beckfield expressed her dissatisfaction with the diesel emission operation at the end
of Xenon at 441h. She also was concerned about the amount oftraffic. She fears that if
this zone change is approved. it will open the door to more of the same aggravations this
neighborhood is already experiencing.
Katherine Murphy
12700 W. 42nd Ave., Wheat Ridge, CO
Ms. Murphy stated that she and her husband bought their property in 2001 and provided
her history of the neighborhood . She expressed her dissatisfaction with the traffic and the
commercial use in the area which is disturbing to the residents day and night. She
complained about the bright lights from the highway and commercial businesses that
shine in their windows at night.

Marnie Boom
4200 Xenon St., Wheat Ridge, CO
Ms. Boom owns property at 4200 Xenon and 4225 Vivian St. She expressed her concern
about more development as most of the people in the neighborhood get water from wells.
She also expressed concerns about the traffic from Grainger and the school, which makes
it unsafe to walk or ride horses in the neighborhood. She stated she and the neighbors
want the area to remain a residential neighborhood.
Chair TIMMS asked if the Commissioners have any follow up questions.
Commissioner OHM asked if a photometric plan is required, and if there a limit on the
light that spills on adjacent properties. Ms. Mikulak replied that it is required for any
new development that has building mounted or free standing lights. The code requires
that exterior lighting be shielded to avoid illuminating beyond the property boundaries.
Commissioner OHM asked Ms. Mikulak to confirm that an auto repair shop is not
permitted, because of the complaints about the diesel shop brought up in this meeting.
Ms. Mikulak responded that repair, rental, and servicing of automobiles. with no outdoor
storage is listed as a conditional use in all mixed use districts except for Mixed Use-
Commercial Interstate, so a conditional use permit would be needed for that type of
business.
Commissioner OHM asked if on-street parking is permitted with Mixed Use-
Neighborhood. Ms . Mikulak replied that when looking at a new development. a trip
generation study or traffic impact study is used to estimate how many new vehicles will
be drawn to the site. Staff also looks at the use and parking ratios to determine how
many off-street parking spaces are needed . On-street parking spaces are not always
counted, particularly in places where it is not safe or allowed. In this particular area, on-
street parking would not likely be encouraged.
Commissioner BRINKMAN asked why the ditch company and Public Works
Department had no comments on the zone change. Ms. Mikulak explained the history
and current status of the ditch on the subject property. and explained that no comments
were generated because there is no specific use or site plan proposed at this time to
comment on.
In response to Commissioner BRINKMAN's question asking what the next step is for
this case, Ms. Mikulak replied that the next step is a public hearing before City Council.
The Planning Commissions will make a recommendation for approval or denial, but the
Council will ultimately decide. The case is scheduled for the City Council meeting on
January 14,2013.
Commissioner BUCKNAM asked if there has been any conversation about subdividing
into two lots. and zoning both of them R-1 or R-2 considering the agricultural and
residential uses existing on Xenon. Ms. Mikulak replied that subdividing under current

A-1 zoning is not possible. The minimum Jot size in A-1 is 1 acre, and this property is
1.1 acres. Residential rezoning has not been discussed but could be considered.
Ms. Mikulak responded to Commissioner BUCKNAM's request for clarification on the
standards and placement of parking. Parking in MU-N should be next to or behind the
building and not between the building and the street.

Ms. Cusack identified herself as the daughter of LaVonne Beckfeld. She stated that
although the Commission is challenged with the development of Wheat Ridge they also
have an obligation to the citizens who have lived in the neighborhood for many years.
Chair TIMMS closed the public hearing.
Commissioner BUCKNAM commented that a residential type of zoning may be more
appropriate than a mixed use zoning. He is concerned about introducing too much
commercial or retail development into an area that may be better suited for purely
residential.
Commissioner WEAVER commented that she understands the intention of MU-N is to
provide a buffer, but an increase in commercial use is not going to provide the buffer;
rather it seems to be encouraging more commercial development.
Commissioner OHM observed that everyone from the public who spoke mentioned
traffic as a major concern, and asked if it is possible to place restrictions on the types of
uses pennitted if the rezone is approved. After brief discussion, Ms. Mikulak agreed it
may be legal but logistically those types of conditions are difficult to enforce.
Commissioner BRINKMAN thanked the neighborhood for coming to the meeting and
encouraged them to continue to come to the meetings. She does not believe the zoning
change will be beneficial to the neighborhood, explained her reasons, and said she will
vote no.
Commissioner MATTHEWS stated he does not think mixed use development standards
are appropriate for the subject lot.
Commissioner BUCKNAM stated that agrees with the applicant and staff in
recommending development of the site, but he thinks more appropriate development
would be residential in nature.
It was moved by Commissioner WEAVER and seconded by Commissioner
BRINKMAN to recommend denial of Case No. WZ-12-08, a request for approval of
a zone change from Agricultural-One to Mixed-Use Neighborhood, for propert)'
located at 12600 W. 42nd Avenue, for the following reasons:

1. The majority of the request does not meet the zone change criteria.
l. More commercial use further destroys the integrity of the neighborhood.
3. The proposed zone change does not seem to create a buffer but rather
encourages more commercial convenlon.
Motion passed 6-1, with Chair TIMMS voting no and Commissioner GUILDNER
recuslag henelf.
Commissioner GUILDNER returned to Council Chambers at 8:45 p.m.
8. OTHER ITEMS
• Ms. Mikulak reported that Kim Waggoner has accepted the position of

Community Development Director
ISSUE:
The City's adopted plans, including Envision Wheat Ridge and the 38th Avenue Corridor Plan,
call for the redevelopment of 38th Avenue with mixed use, pedestrian-friendly development. The
applicant requests approval of a zone change from Planned Residential Development (PRD) to
Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) for property located at 3775 Benton Street.
The zone change is the first step for approval of development of this site with mixed use zoning.
If approved, the applicant will be required to complete the site plan review process to
demonstrate compliance with the zoning requirements prior to any construction.
PRIOR ACTION:
Planning Commission reviewed this request and recommended approval at a public hearing held
on November 1, 2012. A motion was made for approval for the following reasons:
1. The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive
Plan and the 38th Avenue Corridor Plan.
WZ-12-09
Council Action Form
January 14,2013
Page 2
2. The proposed zone change is compatible with the surrounding area and provides a reasonable
transition between a commercial corridor and multi-family zoning to the south.
3. The proposed zone change will not adversely impact public health, safety, or welfare.
4. The subject property is currently underutilized. The zone change may increase the likelihood
of the site developing in a way that supports the City's goals for 38th A venue and that
provides a transition between existing commercial and residential uses.
There were no recommended conditions of approval.
The Planning Commission staff report and meeting minutes are attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
One-time fees for the zone change were submitted for the application in the amount of $1,050. If
the property is redeveloped, it would help to advance the City's goals for economic development
and attracting strong households.
BACKGROUND:
The property is located at 3775 Benton Street, one property south from the southwest comer of
38th Avenue and Benton Street. The property is currently zoned Planned Residential
Development (PRO). The parcel is Lot 2 of the Cadence Subdivision. In 2006-2007, the property
was rezoned from C-1 to PRD through the Advance Auto Single-Family Outline Development
Plan to allow for development of a single-family home.
The parcel is rectangular in shape with an angled front property line along Benton Street. It is
approximately 50 feet wide. It is 125 feet long on the southern edge and 13 5 feet long on the
northern edge. The property is currently vacant and undeveloped. It is the only vacant parcel on
this block of Benton Street.
Most ofthe properties to the north, northeast, and northwest of the subject property were part of
the recent legislative rezoning to Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) for the 38th Avenue
corridor. The MU-N zoning was approved by City Council on October 22, 2012 and went into
effect on November 24, 2012. The subject property was not included in the proposed boundaries
for the MU-N legislative zoning since staff used the criterion that properties zoned PRD would
not be included and staff was not aware at the time that the current owner wished to be rezoned
to MU-N. The current owner and applicant purchased the property in summer 2012 after the
proposed boundaries for the MU-N corridor rezoning were drawn.
The applicant is requesting that the subject property be rezoned to Mixed Use-Neighborhood
(MU-N), a zone district intended for neighborhood commercial corridors and neighborhood
commercial centers. The zone district is established to encourage medium density mixed use
development in which a range of residential uses are pennitted, in addition to a limited range of
neighborhood-serving commercial and retail uses.
Council Action Form
January 14, 2013
Page 3
The current PRO zoning only allows for single-family development. The applicant desires to be
rezoned to MU-N to allow more flexibility for development of the lot. The applicant does not
have a specific development plan but has expressed interest in constructing a new residential use
such as a duplex. The applicant would like to build upon the City plans for the revitalization of
38th A venue and develop a quality residential product that will attract new residents.
Guiding Documents
The community's comprehensive plan, Envision Wheat Ridge (2009), identifies 38th Avenue as a
priority redevelopment area and calls for small-scale, mixed-use infill along the corridor. The
38th Avenue Corridor Plan (2011) establishes the vision for a vibrant, mixed-use main street and
specifically encourages zoning that will support quality infill development.
Process
The application has been through the standard City and outside agency referral process. No
comments were received and any necessary upgrades to utilities will be required at the expense
ofthe developer at the time of redevelopment.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill No. 27-2012, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property
located at 3775 Benton Street from Planned Residential Development (PRO) to the Mixed Use-
Neighborhood (MU-N) zone district, on second reading and that it take effect 15 days after
publication."
Or,
"I move to deny Council No. 27-2012, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property located
at 3775 Benton Street from Planned Residential Development (PRO) to the Mixed Use-
Neighborhood (MU-N) zone district, for the following reason(s):

J. Le al Descri lion and Ma I.
The zone change is the first step in the process for approval of proposed new residential development
on the site. If approved, and prior to any construction, a Site Plan review will be required to confirm
that the proposed development meets the standards of the MU wN zone district. The rezoning
area includes one parcel a total of6,580 SF (0.15 Acres) in size
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
Subject Property
The property is located at 3175 Benton Street, one property south from the southwest comer of 38th
A venue and Benton Street. The property is currently zoned Planned Residential Development (PRO).
The parcel is Lot 2 of the Cadence Subdivision. In 2006w2007, the property was rezoned from Cwl to
PRO through the Advance Auto Si n re-Fam"l ~ Outline Development Plan to allow for development of
a singlewfamily home t Exhibit 3, Current PRD Zonin .
The parcel is rectangular in shape with an angled front property line along Benton Street. It is
approximately 50 feet wide. It is 125 feet long on the southern edge and 135 feet long on the northern
edge. The vacant and undeveloped. It is the only vacant parcel on this block of
Benton Street
Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses
The immed to the north is zoned CommercialwOne (C-1) and contains an auto parts
store To the south are two Residential-Three (Rw3) zoned properties with two-
family homes. Directly across the street, on the east side of Benton, are single-family homes zoned
ResidentialwOne A (R-IA). To the northeast ofthe property are two single-family homes zoned C-1
and a commercial property zoned Cwl fronting 38th Avenue.
Most of the properties to the north, northeast, and northwest of the subject property were part of the
recent · · to Mixed Use-Nei (MU-N) for the 38111 A venue corridor #bit
The MU-N zoning was approved by City
Council on October 22,2012 but will not go into effect until November 24,2012. The subject property
was not included in the proposed boundaries for the MU-N legislative zonina since staff used the
criterion that properties zoned PRD would not be included and staff was not aware at the time that the
current owner wished to be rezoned to MU-N. The current owner and applicant purchased the property
in summer 2012 after the proposed boundaries for the MU-N corridor rezoning were drawn .
Ill. PROPOSED ZONING
The applicant is requesting that the subject property be rezoned to Mixed Use-Neighbomood (MU-N),
a zone district intended for neighbomood commercial corridors and neighbodlood commercial centers .
The zone district is established to encourage medium density mixed use development in which a range
Case WZ-12-09/Dumindu and Seun Realty 2
of residential uses are pennitted, in addition to a limited range of neighborhood-serving commercial
and retail uses.
The current PRO zoning only allows for single-family development. The applicant desires to be
rezoned to MU-N to allow more flexibility for development of the lot. The applicant does not have a
specific development plan but has expressed interest in constructing a new residential use such as a
duplex. The applicant would like to build upon the City plans for the revitalization of 38111 A venue, as
called for in the 38th A venue Corridor Plan and residential product that will
attract new residents
The following table compares the proposed and existing standards that apply to the subject property.
In general, the MU-N district is expected to make the property more developable by allowing a wider
range of uses. The MU-N zone district also has enhanced architectural standards and requirements for
buffering adjacent to residential uses to ensure compatibility with neighboring land uses.

Because the lot borders two-family home to the south, it is worth noting that the MU-N zone district
requires buffering for any new development adjacent to residential uses. The following standards
would apply to any new development in the MU-N district that is adjacent to a single-or two-family
home:
• Screening is required wherever a parking area abuts a residential use, including a 6-foot
landscape buffer and 6-foot tall fence, wall, or hedge.
• A minimum 10-foot wide landscape buffer for 1-2 story buildings. The buffer must be IS feet
wide for a 3 story building, and 20 feet wide for buildings 4 stories or taller.
• In addition to the landscaped buff~ buildings over 2 stories must step the upper floors back an
additional S feet per story for the 3 and 4th stories.
• Any portion of a building within 1 00 feet of a residential use may not be taller than 4 stories.

IV. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
Prior to submittal of an application for a zone change, the applicant was required to hold a
neighborhood input meeting in accordance with the requirements of Section 26-109.
A meeting for neighborhood inpu was held on Se tember 18,2012. Nine members of the public were
in attendance Exhibit 7. , ei hborhood Meeting Notes .
V. AGENCY REFERRAL
All affected service agencies were contacted regarding their ability to serve the property. Any
applicant for development will be responsible for providing upgrades if needed. Referral responses
received are summarized below. Another referral process will be required when a Site Plan application
for development is made.
City of Wheat Ridge Public Works: There are no concerns with the zone change. Drainage and
traffic will be reviewed with future development proposal.
Wheat Ridge Sanitation District: No concerns.
Wheat Ridge Fire District: No concerns.
Xcel Energy: No concerns.
VI. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA
Staff has provided an analysis ofthe zone change criteria outlined in section 26-122.E. The Planning
Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the following
criteria have been met:
I. The change of zone promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community and
will not result in a significant adverse eftect on the surrounding area.
The change of zone promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community and will not
adversely affect the surrounding area. While the proposed MU-N zoning would allow for a wider
range of uses than the current PRO zoning, it also requires buffering and architectural standards to
ensure that any new development does not negatively impact surrounding properties. Any
development proposal will be required to complete the Site Plan review process through which traffic
impacts, drainage, and buffering will be analyzed.
The MU-N zoning is expected to add value to the subject property and to the surrounding
neighborhood by enabling new investment on the vacant parcel. It would provide a transition between
the commercial zoning and land use to the north and the R-3 zoning to the south. Height restrictions
and upper-story stepback requirements where adjacent to sin&le-and two-family residential will
minimize impacts to adjacent single-and two-family homes.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
Case WZ-12-09/Dumindu and Seun Realty 4
l. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the types of uses allowed by the
change of zone, or the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are
under capacity.
Prior to new development under the MU-N zoning, a Site Plan Review application will be required.
This application will include a referral to all impacted utility agencies. In the event that current
capacity is not adequate, utility upgrades will be required by the developer when the future
development scenario is known. A referral to utility agencies as part of the rezoning request did not
yield any concerns about their ability to serve.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
3. The Planning Commission shall also find that at least one (l) of the following conditions
exists:
a. The change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with
the City of Wheat Ridge comprebeasive plan goals, objectives and policies, and other related
policies or plans for the area.
The proposed zoning is consistent with the policies and goals in the City's Comprehensive Plan
and the 38* A venue Corridor Plan. Both plans call for creating a Main Street with a mix of uses,
including commercial and residential, that will activate the street and encourage redevelopment.
The corridor plan specifically calls for rezoning to MU-N along the 38* Avenue corridor to
encourage quality, higher-density residential development that will attract new residents to the
area. The proposed MU-N zoning, which encourages mixed use development and contains design
standards, directly fits with these goals.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City
of Wheat Ridge is in error.
There is no known error in the existing recorded zoning.
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
c. A change of character in the area bas occurred or is occurring to such a degree that it is
in the public interest to encourage redevelopment of the area or to recognize the changing
character of the area.
The 38* A venue corridor from Sheridan to Wadsworth has seen significant change since the PRD
zoning was :proved in 2007. The corridor has been a priority redevelopment area since 2001 ,
when the 38 A venue Corridor Redevelopment Plan was adopted by City Council and the Urban
Renewal Authority. More recently, in 2011, the City adopted the 38th A venue Corridor Plan to
promote revitalization of the corridor. Implementation of the plan has included a capital project for
lane reconfiguration and beautification as well as a City-initiated rezoning of properties similar to
the subject property to MU-N. The proposed MU-N zoning is intended to complement these
Case WZ-12-09/Dumindu and Seun Realty s
efforts to revitalize the street and encourage residential, commercial, and mixed use redevelopment
along the corridor.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
d. Tbe proposed rezoniog is necessary in order to provide for a commuoity oeed tbat was
not anticipated at tbe time of tbe adoption of tbe City of Wbeat Ridge comprehensive plao.
The proposed rezoning does not relate to an UIWlticipated need.
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
V. STAFF CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDED MOTION(S)
Staff concludes that the proposed zone change promotes the health, safety and general welfare of the
community and will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area. Staff concludes
that adequate infrastructure exists and will be upgraded if needed when a Site Plan application is
made. Staff further concludes that the zone change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the
38 111 A venue Corridor Plan. Finally, staff concludes that a change of character has occurred in the area
and it is in the public interest to encourage investment on and adjacent to the 38th Avenue corridor.
Because the zone change evaluation criteria support the zone change request, staff recommends
approval of this request.

EXHIBIT 6: REZONING REQUEST FROM APPLICANT
Ruollfa1 Nurad n
In October 2011, the City of Wheat Ridge launched a revitalizina plan in order to attract
well rounded residences bade to the city, brina in more businesses to generate sales rn·enues.
and build more modem homes to help raise the property value within the main street corridor. In
an effort to help redevelop the 38• Avenue Corridor Plan. I would like to apply for 377S Benton
St. to be rezoned into a Mix Used (MU-N) site. The cuaent zonina currently on that location
only allows a single family home and I would like to have more options to build on that site. The
rezoning in tum would appeal to attract yoWlg and upcomina professionals (Generation X and Y)
to Wheat Ridge. as it has done to the highlands and west highlands neighborhoods.
I understand a lot of questions will be raised regarding this matter, but I do have a reason
for my plans. If the City of Wheat Ridae wants to increase foot traffic in general, the city must
achieve an increase in population in the surrounding area. Closina one lane going east bound on
38• Avenue helps to slow traffic down and helps increase visibility to already existing
businesses. Realistically, however, would people stop and talce their time to walk around and get
to know the neighborhood or shop within the area? Most likely not, since market research has
shown that people generally tend to stay and shop within a 2 mile radius from their homes during
weekdays. This makes sense because after a long day of wodc. people do not want to travel far
from their homes and neighborhoods for food, entertainment, or recreations.
With that in mind. the 38* Avenue corridor is a great place to start building ne·w homes
that will attract the young professionals who have just started their new careers and the next
phase of their lives. If the City of Wheat Ridge can entice this demographic to settle within the
area, it will open the door for businesses such as restaurants. clothing stores, furniture stores, etc
to come in increasing the visibility of Wheat Ridge as well as gcncratina more revenue for the
city. I understand the city's vision for modanization and I see great potaltial for this
neipborhoocl I sincerely hope we can wodt topthcr and develop a great relationship to build
and improve Wheat Ridge's main s1rcct.

Property Owner(s) present? Yes
Existing Zoning: PRO, Planned Residential Development
Comprehensive Plan Main Street Corridor; Neighborhood
Designation:
Applicant's Proposal:
The applicant, Mr. Seun Phommatha, is proposing to rezone the site to Mixed Use-Neighborhood
(MU-N) for res idential development. The site is currently zoned Planned Residential Development
and allows only for a single-fam ily dwelling. The proposed Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N)
zone district is established for locations along neighborhood main streets and at neighborhood
commercial centers. The zoning encourages medium density mixed use development. In addition
to residential and civic uses, it a llows for a limited range of neighborhood-serving commercial and
retail uses.
A zone change to Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-Nl is consistent with the City's comprehensive
plan because the property is situated between W. 38 Avenue-a neighborhood commercial
corridor-and a residential nei g hborhood. Residential development would be permitted in the
MU-N zone district.
Existing Conditions: The property is located on the west side of Benton Street, one lot south of
W. 38th Avenue. The parcel is addressed as 3775 Benton and is Lot 2 ofthe Cadence Subdivision.
Case WZ-12-09/D umindu and Seun Realty 13
The property is zoned Planned Residential Development (PRO); specifically it comprises the
Advance Auto Single-Family PRD which allows only for the development of a single-home.
Surrounding properties have a variety of land uses and zoning designations. To the south, east,
and west are residential lots zoned Residential-One A (R-IA), Residential-One 8 (R-18), and
Residential-Three (R-3). The parcels along W. 38111 Avenue to the north are cWTently zoned
Commercial-One (C-1 ). The parcel immediately adjacent to the north includes an Advance Auto
business. It should be noted that a city-initiated zone change is currently in process and may result
in the commercial properties along W. 38111 A venue being rezoned to Mixed Use-Neighborhood
(MU-N).
The subject property is cWTently a vacant, grassy lot. Based on Jefferson County Assessor
records, the lot is 6,580 square feet in size (0.15 acres).
Members of the public present:
sign-up sheet.
The following issues were discussed:
Nine members of the public were present. See attached
What is the side setback required in an MU-N zone district? The MU-N zone district
allows a 0 ' side setback but any new structure would also have to meet separation
standards from adjacent structures as regulated by the Uniform Building Code.
Additionally, if the development abuts a single-or two{amily home, as this property does to
the south, a minimum 10 ' landscaped setback/buffer is required.
What is proposed to be built? At this point, the property owner is not sure; perhaps
residential or live/work. The property is only 6580 square feet in size and will not
accommodate most commercial uses that are allowed in the zone district.
What is the maximum building height allowed in MU-N? The maximum building height
for any structure with residential in it is 35 '. This is consistent with the height restriction in
the surrounding neighborhood
Will the proposed use make noise for the neighborhood? Because it is likely that the use
will be residential development, it is doubtful that it will contribute to noise in the
neighborhood It was noted that a new structure on the property may serve as a buffer and
will help muffle noise from J~ Avenue and the Advance Auto parts store.
Where will the parking be? Parking will occur on site; there may be garages built for the
proposed residential use.
Will landscaping be required? Yes, the City will require installation of 15% landscaping
on the property if it is a single use development. If it is a mixed use development, 1 (1',.4,
landscaping will be required There will also be the requirement for installation of street
trees.

7. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Case No.WZ-12-09: An application filed by Dumindu and Seun Realty for a request
for approval of a zone change from Planned Residential Development (PRD) to Mixed
Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) for the property located at 3775 Benton Street.
This case was presented by Sarah Showalter. She entered into the public record the
contents of the case file, the zoning ordinance, the digital presentation and the
Comprehensive Plan. All notification requirements have been met and there is
jurisdiction to hear the case. She reviewed the staff report and digital presentation.
Staff recommends approval of the zone change.
Commissioner BRINKMAN asked if the owner of the property also owns Advance
Auto located to the north of the property. Ms. Showalter replied that the current
owner purchased the subject property recently and does not own the Advance Auto
Parts property.
Commissioner BRINKMAN commented that the size of the lot is so small is because
of the subdivision in 2007 when Advance Auto chose to have an oversized lot for
their commercial use and left a very small lot . She asked if the PRD zoning was the
only option for the small lot at the time of the subdivision. Ms. Showalter stated that
the only choice they had for the zoning to be compatible with the neighborhood was
planned residential. Ms. Showalter stated that she does not have firsthand
knowledge, but she has read the case file, and from a staff standpoint, PRO wasn't the
only option; it just made sense to have residential use here.
Commissioner BRINKMAN expressed concern about potential parking issues since
the lot is so small. In response to her question, Ms. Showalter stated that staff will
evaluate parking needs during the administrative review and ensure that zoning
requirements are met.
In response to Commissioner BRINKMAN's question, Ms. Showalter responded that
slope is not an issue with this property.
In response to Commissioner BRINKMAN's question asking if the trees are on the
commercial lot or the subject property, Ms. Showalter replied that she is not sure
since survey documents were not researched for this case.
Commissioner WEAVER questioned why the subject property would be zoned MU-
N instead of R-2 if commercial isn't a viable option. Ms. Showalter responded that
the minimum lot size in R-2 zone district is 12,500 square feet and a two-family home
would not be permitted in that zone district. When staff spoke with the applicant
about his intent, it was recognized that there is not an existing zone district that fits a
more urban, smaller lot development such as this property, and the MU-N is the best
fit available. Although commercial use could theoretically be placed on the lot, there
is not enough space for it.
Planning Commission Minutes

Ms. Showalter confirmed Chair TIMMS' understanding that the MU-N zone district
has no minimum lot size.
In response to Chair TIMMS's question, Ms. Showalter responded that the maximum
height allowed on the R-3 lots just south to the subject property would be 35 feet.
Suen Phommatha
11773 Gray St., Westminster, CO 80020
The applicant stated that he has nothing additional to add to his request at this time.
Everything has been well covered in the presentation. His design finn will stay
within the rules and regulations of the City of Wheat Ridge. He wants to work with
the City and Wheat Ridge 2020 to build the 38th Corridor.
In response to Commissioner BRINKMAN's question, Mr. Phommatha stated that he
expected more adverse comments from the neighborhood meeting, and he was
pleased there were not, as he wants to be a part of the neighborhood and do his part to
build up the City.
In response to Commissioner BRINKMAN'S question, Mr. Phommatha stated he was
not aware of the limitations of the property when he purchased it. He saw potential,
and was interested in building a single family home on the lot. After he met with
Wheat Ridge 2020 and gained a better understanding of the plans for the
neighborhood, he realized his vision for the future was a good fit for the property.
In response to Commissioner BRINKMAN'S question about whether the residential
development will be for-sale or rental, Mr. Phommatha stated that he is unsure but
wishes to live in the area.
Chair TIMMS opened the public hearing.
Tom Lix
3745 Chase St., Wheat Ridge, CO
Mr. Lix expressed opposition to the zone change request. He stated that he is not
against the redevelopment of 38th A venue but he is concerned about commercial uses
from 38th Avenue spreading into the residential neighborhood.
John Montoya
3755 Benton St., Wheat Ridge, CO
Mr. Montoya stated that he is in support of the proposal. The applicant explained to
him that he wants to build a single-family home and potentially add his consulting
business as a home occupation.
Britta Fisher
3106 Benton St., Wheat Ridge, CO
Planning Commission Minutes
November I, 2012

Ms. Fisher stated she is the Executive Director of Wheat Ridge 2020, as well as a
resident on Benton St. She stated that she thinks expanding the zone district makes
sense. She is encouraged to see vacant land being attractive for investment and
development, and is happy to work with anyone wanting to do that in the City.
Chair TIMMS closed the public hearing.
Commissioner BRINKMAN stated she is in favor of the zone change request, but is
concerned about the potential for on-street parking if a multifamily unit is built on the
lot.
Commissioner DURAN asked for and received clarification that the trees belong on
the subject lot, not the commercial property next door.
Commissioner BUCKNAM stated that he supports the applicant's request to develop
a challenging space and would like to see it utilized well, but he also has concerns
about adequate parking. Ms. Showalter explained that in the MU-N code, on-street
parking is allowed, and that can be used toward the minimum parking standards .
Commissioner OHM expressed his support of the zone change.
It was moved by Commissioner OHM and seconded by Commissioner DURAN
to recommend APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-12-09, a request for approval of a
zone change from Planned Residential Development (PRO) to Mixed Use-
Neighborhood (MU-N) for property located at 3775 Benton Street, for the
following reasons:
1. The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and objectives of
the Comprehensive Plan and the 381h Avenue Corridor Plan.
2. The proposed zone change is compatible with the surrounding area and
provides a reasonable transition between a commercial corridor and
multi-family zoning to the south.
3. The proposed zone change will not adversely impact the public health,
safety, or welfare.
4. The subject property is currently underutilized. The zone change may
increase the likelihood of the site developing in a way that supports the
City's goals for 381h Avenue and that provides a transition between
existing commercial and residential uses.
Motion passed 7-0.
Chair TIMMS stated that the case will go to City Council on January 14, 2013, and he
invited all interested parties to attend that meeting.
8. STUDY SESSION
Planning Commission Minutes
November 1, 2012
-4-
A. LiveWell Wheat Ridge Presentation
Molly Hanson and colleagues of Live Well Wheat Ridge gave a presentation on their
activities to the Commissioners.
Commissioner BUCKNAM asked if there has been any discussion about extending
the bike lanes on 38th Avenue east toward the Sheridan commercial center. It was
discussed that on-street parking has reduced the opportunity for bicycle lanes cast of
Pierce. Ms. Showalter commented that at the time of adoption of the Corridor Plan,
the community members determined that on-street parking took precedence over bike
lanes.
Ms. Showalter added that there is adequate parking today without on-street parking.
An intern working with Community Development is currently doing a parking
utilization study, and it can be used for future planning to potentially examine the
option to replace the on-street parking with bicycle lanes.
Commissioner BRINKMAN stated that she had read the walking assessment and took
note of the comments that there has not been enough consideration of continual
benches. Wheat Ridge has an aging population, and ifthere are adequate benches, it
encourages people to walk, then stop; walk, then stop. She would like to see more
benches placed in the appropriate areas.
Commissioner DURAN said she was involved in the walking assessment. The
stretch between Upham and High Court is truly a cohesive, pedestrian environment
with the trees and contiguous sidewalk. This is the type of environment people said
that they wanted to see on the rest of the corridor.
Commissioner BRINKMAN would like to see signage pointing to the pocket parks
off 38 1h Avenue, such as Founders Park, that people would not necessarily be aware
of.
In response to Commissioner BUCKNAM's question, Ms. Hanson replied that
LiveWeJI Wheat Ridge has been coordinating with the safe routes to schools
initiatives. Several schools have indicated their interest, and there is ongoing
discussion with the 38th A venue implementation team. Commissioner BUCKNAM
stated that more kids would start walking and biking if the infrastructure is put into
place.
Commissioner WEAVER expressed her concern that funding for Live Well Wheat
Ridge is stepping down. She doubts that people are aware of all the great work this
organization is doing. Next year is their last year of funding. They have been
producing rich studies and have been very successful in getting people involved .
There is a real need to find funding sources and ways to continue the organization .

ISSUE:
The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Restricted Commercial (RC) to Mixed
Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) for property located at 4335 Harlan Street.
The proposed rezoning area includes one parcel, the total size of which is approximately
0.29 acres. The purpose of the zone change is to expand possible uses for the property including
the option of converting the existing structure back to a residential occupancy.
At this time, the applicant is not proposing any new development or modifications to the site. If
the property is redeveloped in the future under the proposed MU-N zoning, an administrative site
plan review would be required to confirm that proposed development meets the standards of the
mixed use zone district.
P RIOR ACTION:
Planning Commission heard the request at a public hearing on December 6, 2012 and
recommended approval. The staff report and meeting minutes from the Planning Commission
meeting will be included with the ordinance for second reading.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed zone change is not expected to have a direct financial impact on the City. Fees in
the amount of $1,086.25 were collected for the review and processing of Case No. WZ-12-1 0.
BACKGROUND:
The property is located at 4335 Harlan Street in the northeast quadrant of the City, three lots south
ofW. 44th Avenue. The property is currently zoned Restricted Commercial (RC) which allows for
various types of office uses and a limited range of neighborhood-oriented retail uses.
The primary structure on the property was originally built as a single family home in 1954. Since
that time, the building has been converted for commercial use. A Certificate of Occupancy issued
in 1975 indicates that commercial uses have existed since at least that time. Most recently, the site
served as offices for insurance and financial planning businesses. The property retains a
residential appearance with a landscaped front yard and mature trees.
Surrounding Land Uses
The site is surrounded to the north, south, and east by properties that are also zoned commercially.
On Harlan Street between W. 43rd and W. 44th Avenues, all but one property is zoned RC. Many
of the properties on this block are converted residences and include businesses such as a dental
office, antique shop, acupuncturist, and offices for an electrician and home cleaning service.
Immediately to the north of the subject lot is a single family home zoned RC.
At the corner of Harlan and W. 44th A venue are two larger commercial parcels including a Wells
Fargo bank and a pawnbroker. Behind the subject site to the west is a residential neighborhood
zoned Residential-Two (R-2) and Residential-Three (R-3).
Current and Proposed Zoning
The current and proposed zone districts are very similar as RC and MU-N were both established to
provide for neighborhoods serving commercial uses. A significant difference, however, is in the
treatment of residential uses. In the RC zone district, residential uses are permitted on a very
limited basis per section 26-626 of the City code. Existing residential uses may continue, but new
residential uses must be an accessory to a commercial use. Because the subject property was
previously converted entirely to a commercial use, it cannot be converted back to a primary
residential use under the current RC zoning.
Unlike a Restricted Commercial designation, a new residence is considered a permitted use in the
Mixed Use-Neighborhood zone district. The applicant has expressed a desire to convert the
subject property back to a residential occupancy. The MU-N zoning will allow for the desired
residential use and will also preserve the possibility oflive/work or commercial uses for future
tenants.

Sections 16-13 I and 16-13 3 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws prohibit certain activities
concerning the possession and use of marijuana and assoc iated drug paraphernalia. On
November 6, 2012, the citizens ofthe State of Colorado voted in favor of Amendment 64
legalizing the recreational use of marijuana and associated drug paraphernalia for persons
twenty-one years of age and ol der. Accordingly, it is now legal for persons twenty-one years of
age or older to possess, display and privately use one ounce or less of marijuana and to possess
up to six marijuana plants with three or fewer being mature, flowering plants.
In accordance with the effective date ofDecember 6, 2012, law enforcement stopped issuing
citations to persons twenty-one years of age or older for marijuana-related activities that were
legalized by the provisions in Amendment 64. Currently, the provisions in Sections 16-131 and
16-133 of the Code are in conflict with the provisions in Amend ment 64. The attached
Ordinance amends those provisions so that they are consistent with state law .

PRIOR ACTION:
None
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The financial impact for the City is unknown at this time.
BACKGROUND:
On November 6, 2012, the people of the State of Colorado adopted Amendment 64 which
amended the Colorado Constitution by adding Article XVIII Section 16 thereto concerning the
legalization of the recreational use of marijuana. Amendment 64 was proclaimed by the
Governor as effective on December 6, 2012. As of that date, the acquisition, possession,
production, use or transportation of marijuana and associated drug paraphernalia by persons
twenty-one years of age and older is legal under state law.
Individual use by adults
Although Amendment 64 legalizes certain activities, it also places limits on what will be
protected and what remains illegal. As of December 6, 2012 persons 21 years of age or older
may possess one ounce or less of marijuana, and necessary paraphemalia to ingest or smoke the
same. These adult individuals may transfer that amount of marijuana to other adults. In addition,
it is now legal for those adults to possess drug paraphernalia associated with the growing and
ingesting of marijuana. Adults may also possess, grow, process or transport no more than six
marijuana plants, with three or fewer being mature, flowering plants. Plants must be grown in an
enclosed locked space. That growing may not take place openly or publicly, and products may
not be made available for sale. In addition, the possession and use of marijuana and associated
drug paraphernalia by persons under the age of twenty-one years remains illegal and the use of
marijuana openly and publicly remains illegal for persons of any age. As of December 6, 2012,
law enforcement may not issue tickets for any of the above listed activities protected by
Amendment 64. Tickets issued prior to the etTective date of Amendment 64 may, at the
discretion of the City's Prosecutor, continue to be prosecuted.
State regulation of retail marijuana sales
Amendment 64 requires the Colorado Department of Revenue to issue regulations for licenses
for retail marijuana stores by July 1, 2013. The Governor has appointed a task force to draft
enabling legislation for this regulatory program. It is likely that the task force will rely on the
state regulation for medical marijuana currently under revision.
Federal law
As Council is aware, the possession and sale of any quantity of marijuana is illegal under federal
law, and the passage of Amendment 64 in Colorado has not changed this. Various legislators are
considering introducing federal legislation to exempt state laws allowing marijuana from the
otherwise applicable preemptive federal criminal marijuana laws. The degree to which the
federal government chooses to enforce federal criminal marijuana laws or to challenge
Amendment 64 in court will continue to evolve.

Medical Marijuana
The passage of Amendment 64 does not affect the constitutional and statutory provisions
regarding medical marijuana and the licensing and zoning restrictions applied by the City of
Wheat Ridge to that activity. While it is likely that the State Department of Revenue will look to
the existing medical marijuana regulations to assist in crafting the new state retail marijuana
regulations, the two kinds of marijuana use and their regulation remain separate.
The Ordinance amends Sections 16-131 and 16-13 3 in accordance with the provisions in
Amendment 64. The other provisions of Amendment 64 concerning the regulation of the retail
sale of marijuana will be brought to Council as the law develops at the state level.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends adoption of this Ordinance.

Amendment 64 -Use and Regulation of Marijuana Passes
Colorado voters approve marijuana for consumers at least 21 years old
On November 6, 2012, Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 to Use and Regulation of Marijuana .
Amendment 64 provides for persons 21-years-of-age or older to legally consume or possess 1 ounce or
less of marijuana without a doctor's recommendation and tax marijuana similar to alcohol. Amendment
64 also creates the framework for a regulatory scheme for retail sales of marijuana.
This memo addresses issues of immediate consideration for Colorado's cities and towns. CML will
continue to monitor and report on emerging issues and developments, such as workplace issues,
rulemaking, and implementation. Please consult with your municipal attorney to address retail
marijuana operations in your municipality .
Marijuana retail sales and home grows
Unless specifically prohibited (see below), special retail stores will be allowed to sell marijuana in a
system of licensed establishments regulated the by state and local governments.
Amendment 64 also allows for people to grow up to six marijuana plants in their home or other
enclosed, locked space. However, it is not clear at this time how this constitutional protection will
interact with local land use powers, particularly any ordinances pertaining to home grows.
Amendment 64 does not change existing medical marijuana laws
Retail operations may be licensed as a medical marijuana center or retail marijuana establishment, not
both. Medical marijuana centers choosing to convert to a retail marijuana operation will pay a reduced
fee for the marijuana application, but otherwise, Amendment 64 has no impact on the existing medical
marijuana regulatory scheme. Local governments may choose to prohibit or license retail marijuana or
medical marijuana operations. How your municipality has addressed medical marijuana does not
dictate how your municipality will or should address retail marijuana establishments .
Timeline for local prohibition or regulation
Amendment 64 tasks the Colorado Department of Revenue with issuing regulations for retail marijuana
stores by July 1, 2013. Municipalities should opt whether to adopt 1) a prohibition or 2) local
restrictions on the time, place, manner and number of retail marijuana operations in their jurisdiction
before July 1, 2013 .
Local governments may prohibit by council action at any time, but the first opportunity to refer a retail
marijuana prohibition question to the ballot is the general election on November 4, 2014 . Some
municipalities may choose to issue a prohibition, moratorium, or regulations until the voters have the
opportunity to be heard at the next general election.
Attachment 3
Local licenses may be issued October 1 , 2013
In the event that the Colorado Department of Revenue does not issue regulations by July 1, 2013 , then
cities and towns may choose to issue local licenses starting on October 1, 2013, but there is no
requirement for local governments to issue retail marijuana licenses in the absence of a state licensing
program .
CML will keep you informed
The League will monitor the Colorado Department of Revenue progress and keep municipalities
abreast of developments. This is critical because if the Department of Revenue doesn't issue licenses
by July 1, 2013, then municipalities that opt to issue local license will have 90 days to enact a
regulation, licensing , and enforcement program .
CML will also keep our members informed on employee-employer issues, as it relates to the use and
possession of marijuana in the workplace.
Finally , CML will investigate and report on the complex federal issues that are likely to arise as
Amendment 64 is implemented in Colorado . Marijuana continues to be illegal under federal law, and it
is possible that a lawsuit challenging the legality of Amendment 64 is forthcoming . That would set up a
dynamic discussion of the 1 01
h Amendment and the extent of state sovereignty on this issue.

ISSUE:

0 ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING
The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended to City Council that a new park rule be
implemented to disallow smoking in all parks, playgrounds and open space within the City of
Wheat Ridge and that this rule/policy be adopted by resolution. The rule is not intended to be
formally enforced or added to the Code of Laws of the City.
PRIOR ACTION:
The Parks and Recreation Commission, at their August 15, 2012, meeting, voted by majority to
recommend to City Council the adoption of this rule/policy. The resolution was presented to City
Council for consideration at the September 15, 2012, City Council meeting during public
comment by Guy Nahmiach, Parks and Recreation Commission Chairman. Consensus was
reached at the November 19, 2012, study session to place the resolution on a future City Council
meeting agenda for consideration of formal adoption.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The financial impact of this item is the purchase and installation of signage at playgrounds, parks
and open space. The total projected impact to the City is approximately $1,000.
CAF-No Smoking Resolution
January 14, 2013
Page 2
BACKGROUND:
Breathe Easy Wheat Ridge presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission a request to
support and recommend to City Council a resolution regarding the implementation of an
ordinance to prohibit smoking in all parks, playgrounds and open space in Wheat Ridge. Breathe
Easy is a coalition of Wheat Ridge residents, organizations and businesses working at a
grassroots level to reduce public exposure to secondhand smoke and decrease youth tobacco use.
The presentation included the many impacts of secondhand smoke to park users as well as the
impact oflitter from improperly discarded cigarette butts.
The Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act of 2006 made many places smoke free to protect residents,
workers, and visitors from the poisonous and cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smoke.
However, the law did not include all indoor and outdoor areas where youth and adults work and
recreate. According to the U.S. Surgeon General there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco
smoke.
The Park and Recreation Commission recommended to City Council that the smoke free
initiative be adopted by resolution only and not as an ordinance.
The Animal Welfare and Control Commission discussed presenting a resolution at their regular
meeting on November 20, 2012. There was a consensus of those present at the meeting to
prepare the resolution with the content as discussed. There was also a consensus to present the
resolution as an infonnational item for the City Council to be aware and note the adverse effects
upon pets in the future. The resolution prepared by the Animal Welfare Commission is attached
as an informational item only and is not being presented for adoption by Council.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval ofthe resolution adopting a smoke-free policy in all parks,
playgrounds and open space.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution No. 03-2013, a resolution approving a smoke-free policy in all
parks, playgrounds and open space within the City ofWheat Ridge."
Or,
"I move to postpone indefinitely Resolution No. 03-2013, a resolution approving a smoke-free

PRIOR ACTION:
The design and construction of the 44th and Kendall neighborhood park project was approved as
part of the 2013 budget in the Open Space Fund and the Conservation Trust Fund.
A resolution for the submittal of the 2013 Jefferson County Joint Venture Grant for the 44th and
Kendall neighborhood park was approved by City Council at the October 24, 2012 meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The estimated budget for this park project is $900,000 which includes design, construction
document preparation fees, construction observation and any required utility fees.
A Joint Venture Grant has been submitted to Jefferson County Open Space in the amount of
$211,000 for this project. It is anticipated that this grant request will be funded.
Funds are appropriated in the Conservation Trust Fund and Open Space Fund. By legislation ,
funds from these two special funds may only be used for Park and Recreation purposes. The
revenue from the lottery and the Y2 cent county open space tax are the source of the funds
respectively for these two special funds .
BACKGROUND:
The need for a neighborhood park in District II was documented in the Parks and Recreation Master
Plan of 1992 and again identified as an underserved area in the adopted 2006 Parks and Recreation
Master Plan.
The City acquired a two-acre site located at 44th and Kendall with City attributable share funds in
1998 . A contiguous parcel of .5 acres was acquired in 2002 with I 00% Jefferson County Open Space
bond funds.
Amenities to be included in the neighborhood park, depending on final design and neighborhood
input, include a walking trail, multi-purpose playfield, playground and play features, picnic shelter,
restroom shelter and parking lot.
Seventeen finns responded to the qualifications based solicitation, RFQ-JN-12-35 Park Design-44th
and Kendall, in mid-November. After thorough consideration of the submittals six firms were invited
for interviews and presentations. OHM Design, with their technical sub-consultant team, received the
highest ranking by the group of evaluators and was asked to prepare a detailed fee proposal for the
identified scope of services (see attached fee proposal). Validation by references also supports the
vendor selection for this project.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends award of this contract for the park design and construction documents
for 44th and Kendall Park.
