Case WF-06-01/Gimeno
Jurisdiction
All notification and posting requirements have been met;'therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case.
1. REQUEST
The roperty in question is located at approximately 3575 Quail Street, and is 31,328 square feet in size
The applicant is requesting a class II floodplain exception permit to allow for consh-uction
of a single family home Emmm
The property is currently zoned Residential One (R-1), and sits vacant with no shuctures on it. The R-1 zone
district allows single family residential uses and accessory buildings. The majority of the property is within the
100 year floodplain. All other development standards have been met with this request.
Per the Code of Laws Sec 26-808 (D)(1) the Board of Adjushnent must heaz this case.
H. CASE ANALYSIS
The Wheat Ridge Code of Laws states that in order for any single family home to be constructed in the 100 yeaz
floodplain a floodplain permit must be obtained. Specifically, Sec 26-806 (D) states that any new consh-ucrion
of any residential structure for human occupancy within the floodplain must obtain a class II floodplain pemut,
and plans must be certified by an engineer to the floodplain administrator that the lowest floor, including the
basement, is elevated at least one foot above the base flood elevafion. The applicant has submitted all rec~wre~d
information, and the floodplain administrator has approved the request ~ ~#m`u` ~
N.
Theapplicant has also submitted the required final drainage report from a registered engineer, which indicates
that the lowest floor of the house will be at least one foot above the base flood elevation of 5410 feet: This
document has been reviewed and approved by the public works department pending the outcome of the Board
of Adjustment hearing on this case. ,
Section 26-808 (D)(4) of the Code of Laws contains a number of items that should be considered when
reviewing a Class II floodplain exception permit. In response to those items, staff has concluded the following
applies:
• Best management practices will be employed during the construcrion process,
. The engineer's report addresses danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage,
. There aze no alternarives to constructing an adequate sized single family home on this property, as the
majority of the property is within the 100 year floodplain.
. The proposed use is comparible with the neighborhood, and
. The property will have access to a public street,
II. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDA'I`IONS
Upon review of the above request, staff concludes that the single family home should not have a negative
impact on the 100 year floodplain. Therefore, staff recommends APPROVAL for the following reasons:
l. Approval of the request should not have a detrimental effect on the 100 year floodplain.
2. The requirements of the floodplain ordinance have been met
3. The floodplain administrator has reviewed and approved the engineer's study.
Board of Adjustment
Case VJF-06-01/Gimeno
With the following conditions:
1. The proposed structure must be consistent with the development standards of Section 26-806 (F).
2. The proposed slrueture must maintain a lowest floor elevarion that is at least one foot above the base
flood elevarion of 5410 feet above sea level.
3. Prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, an elevation certificate shall be prepared and certified
by the engineer of record and filed with the City.

Boazd of Adjustment 1
Case WA-06-03/Seniors' Resource Center
Jurisdiction
All notificarion and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdicrion to hear this case.
1. REQUEST
The roperiy in question is located at 3227 Chase Street, and is approximately 1.8 acres in size .
iThe property has Residential One C(R-1C) zoning and currently has a branch of the Jefferson County
Library system and the existing Seniors' Resource Center (SRC) facilities on it.
The applicant, the SRC, is requesting this variance as the property owner The
request is for approval of a 13 foot front yazd setback variance from the 30 foot front yard setback requirement
and an 11 foot reaz yard setback variance from the 20 foot rear yard setback requirement for the purposes of
adding on to the existing SRC faciliries.
The development standards for quasi-public uses in the R-1C zone district can be summarized as follows:
• Maximum Building Coverage:
40%
• Minimum Lot Area:
1 acre
• Minimum Lot Width:
200 feet
• Minimum Front Yard Setback:
30 feet
• Minimum Side Yard Setback:
15 feet
• Minimum Rear Yard Setback:
20 feet
The applicant is proposing a substantial addition to the existing SRC e
slim
II. CASE ANALYSIS
The property is 80,001 square feet, or 1.8 acres. The properiy measures 375 feet wide with a depth of 133 feet
along 32"d Avenue. The properiy currently has the SRC facility attached to a branch of the Jefferson County
Library. The property had previously been owned by 7efferson County, and the SRC had been leasing their
space. Recently however, the SRC acquired the entire property.
The Seniors' Resource Center is a private, non-profit corporation that provides a wide range of services to
seniors' in the community
The applicant has expressed that expansion of the existing facility is essential to serve the growing demand for
the service provided by the SRC. Given setback requirements and exisring conditions on the subject properry, it
is problemafic to construct an addition of adequate size based on the needs of the SRC. The structure currently
used by the SRC was built in 1930, with additions in 1950 and 1960. The existing front yard setback for the
SRC along Chase Street is 22 feet. The applicants aze showing a 17 foot front yazd setback with the addition.
The applicant has expressed that the new addirion will match the existing historic building and provide a
consistent appearance along the Chase Street frontage.
The SRC has also recently acquired the lot to the north, 3251 Chase Street in order to accommodate this
expansion. The SRC intends to consolidate this lot into the overall property, thus eliminating any conflict with
the proposed addition and the existing north lot line. The only setback variances needed with this request, and
with the consolidation of the lots aze to the rear and front yard setback requirements.
The addition will allow the expansion of a facility providing a valuable community service that has operated out
of this locarion for over 25 years.
II. VARIANCE CRITERIA
Board of Adjustment
Case WA-06-03/Seniors' Resource Center
Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a variance request:
1. Can the property in question yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted to be
used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is located?
The applicant has expressed that the Seniors' Resource Center is in need of expansion in order to meet the
demand for the services provided. R-1C development standards only allow for an addition which would
be inadequate according to the applicant based on the increased demand for their services.
2. If the variance were granted, would-it alter the essential character of the locality?
The request is for expansion of an existing building and an existing use. Approval of the variance would
have a slight impact on the essential chazacter of the locality because a larger building than what is
allowed under current regulations would be allowed. The elevarions and site plan submitted however
illustrate an addirion which would match the character of the eacisting facility.
3. Does the particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property
involved result in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a mere
inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out?
There aze no unique conditions related to physical surrounding, shape or topography that render any
portion of the property in question unbuildable. The property is generally rectangular in shape and flat.
4. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having an interest in the
property?
The property owners have created their own hazdship by requesting a variance from the R-1C
development standards. There is an exisfing front yard setback encroachment however on this property,
and there is limited space to construct an addition of the size proposed by the applicant given current
development standards.
5. Would the granring of the variance be deYrimental to the public weifare or injurious to other
property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located, by, among other
things, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increasing
the congestion in public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public satety, or
substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood?
Approval of the variance would not be substantially detrimental to the public welfaze or injurious to other
property in the area. Approval of the variance would however allow for a building larger than what would
be allowed under current regularions, thus slightly decreasing the supply of light and air to properties to
the north and the west. There may also be more tcaffic generated by allowing a]arger building with this
variance request, as the result would be more office space and care units with this addi6on according to
plans submitted. Most clients however are dropped off by car or bus. Property values in the surrounding
neighborhood should not be significantly impacted because the facility is an existing condition and the
applicants aze proposing an improvement to the properry.
6. If criteria 1 through 5 are found, then, would the granting of the variance result in a benefit or
contribufion to the neighborhood or the community, as distinguished from an individual benefit on
the part of the applicant, or would granting of the variance result in a reasonable accommodation
of a person with disabilities?
The request would result in a benefit and contribution to the community distinguished from an individual
benefit on the part of the applicant. The Seniors' Resource Center is a non-profit corporation that
provides an irnportant service to the community. The applicant has expressed that the demand for the
Boazd of Adjustment
Case WA-06-03/Seniors' Resource Center
services provided necessitates a substantial expansion of the cuirent faciliTy which would be problematic
under current R-1C development standards without variances. Given the nature of the service provided,
granting the variance would also allow for increased accommodation of persons' with disabilities.
M. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMNNIENDATIONS
Upon review of the above request, staff concludes that the above criteria are supportive of the variance request.
Staff has found that there are unique circumstances attributed to these requests that would warrant approval of a
variance. Therefore, staff recommends APPROVAL for the following reasons:
1. The Seniors' Resource Center provides an important community service. In order to meet increasing
demand for this service, a substantial expansion of the existing facility is necessary which is
problematic given current development standards for the front and rear yard setbacks.
2. The existing facility encroaches into the required 30 foot front yard setback by 8 feet.
3. The elevations and site plan submitted indicate that the applicant will match the appeazance of the
existing facility with the addirion.
4. Granting the variance would allow for increased accommodation of persons' with disabilities.
With the following condition:
1. Tke applicant must submit a consolidation plat for 3227 Chase Street and 3251 Chase Sheet (Parcel B
as shown on the survey submitt8d) priar to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the addirion.

RE: Variance Application Letter of Request
Seniors' Resource Center
Parcels "A" and "B," immediately north of 3227 Chase Street
Dear Ms. Reckert,
On behalf of the Seniors' Resource Center, I am submitting a request to yourself and
the Board of Adjustments for a variance consideration on the building setback
requirements for the property noted above.
The site's current Zoning is R-1 C, with required setbacks as follows:
Front (street) 30'-0"
Alley 20'-0"
Side lot 15'-0"
The attached site plan, dated February 28, 2006, shows the proposed new building with
proposed setbacks as follows:
Front (street) 17'-0"
Alley 9'-0"
Side lot (no change)
Our design and development team have studied this site for several months regarding
options for building a new adult day and respite care building to serve the elderly and
disabled with limited financial means. The buildable area that meets the required
setbacks would be insufficient to create a building large enough to adequately meet the
needs of those the building will serve. The buildable area is also insufficient to create
the minimum number of respite care units on the second floor to make the project
financially viable.
EXHIBIT 2
3227 CHASE STREET • DENVER, COLORADO 80212 •(303) 238-8151 ' FAX (303) 238-8497
The existing building at 3227 Chase Street does not meet the current front setback
requirement of 30'-0". Its front setback measures 22'-0". Our proposed front setback
for the new building, to the existing building's north, is 17'-0", creating a more consistent
street frontage. The attached application packe# includes a conceptual Chase Street
Exterior Elevation showing the existing and new buildings. Our intent is to create a
unified street frontage on Chase Street, designing the new building with similar
character, detail and charm as the existing.
On the alley frontage, our design team has modified the original design to properly
accommodate the large fire truck turning radii, as well as significantly widening the
portion of the alley adjacent to the site for fire truck access.
The Seniors' Resource Center, a private non profit corporation, has been providing vital
services to the community since 1978. SRC has been operating from our current
location at 3227 Chase Street for more than twenty-five years. During this time we
have made significant improvements to the property. Our mission reads: "The Seniors'
Resource Center works in partnership with older persons and the community to provide
centralized and coordinated service, information, education and leadership, helping to
assist seniors in maximizing the independence and personal dignity." The City of
Wheat Ridge has an aging population that can benefit from the services offered by
SRC including adult day and respite care, transportation, in-home care, care
management, victim's assistance, emergency assistance, job training and placement as
well as volunteer opportunities.
Jefferson County's 60+ population is expected to double over the next 14 years.
Through facility expansion, SRC will be equipped to handle the anticipated growth. If I
can provide additional infarmation or respond to questions, feel free to contact me at
303-235-6931.
Respectfully Submitted,

TO: Board of Adjustment
FROM: Planning Staff
SUBJECT: BOA Bylaws
DATE: 17 March 2006
Per direction from the Board of Adjushnent, the Planning staff has examined the Boazd of
Adjustment bylaws. After review of the bylaws, staff has suggested some changes. The new
language is in ~liff'd and language to be removed is ~
A majority of the changes included rewording for clarity; however, there are two major changes to
the bylaws.
The first suggested change is to the meeting time. The Boazd currently meets at 7:30 on the fourth
Thursday of each month. Staff is suggesting a 7:00 start time on the fourth Thursday of each month.
This is consistent with the Planning Commission and City Council meetings.
The second suggested change is the creation of a pool of alternate Boud of Adjushnent members.
The Board currently uses a super-majority approval voting ratio. This means that with a fizll Board
attendance of 8 members, 3"no" votes will deny a request. When attendance drops below 8
members, 2"no" votes will deny a request. Far example, on a night where 7 Board members are in
attendance 6 members must vote "yes" to approve a request. Simply, the fewer Board members in
attendance the harder it is io have a request approved.
In light of this, Staff recommends the creation of a four person pool of alternate Board members
who can serve where there is an absence. A full 8 member Board will ensure that each applicant is
given the same opportunity for a fair and balanced hearing.
Additionally, Staff has reworded certain sections of the bylaws. The variance criteria have been
removed, as they can be found in Chapter 26 (the Zoning Code) of the Code of Laws. If the variance
criteria were ever amended, only the applicable section of the Code would need to be altered, not the
bylaws.
These changes must be approved by an affirmative vote of the Board of Adjustment, and
subsequently approved by City Council prior to adoption.
