REQUTIEST 'File applicant is requesting approval of Final Development Plan for L,ot 1. Onyx Park Subdivision. located at 10055 West 43" Avenue. The purpose of the request is to construct an 18.000 sq. ft. professional office building. IL PROPERTY BACKGROUND The propervy being developed is approximateIY 60.6 4 sq. ft. in size and fronts on W. 43" :Nve_ I - west of Kipling St, (Exhibit A, Zoning Map). Tile property is currently zoned PCD. Planned Commercial Development. as is the property to the west. The remaining adjacent property, on three sides is zoned C-1. Commercial-One. The immediate surrounding area is either currently developed in commercial and office uses. or is vacant and planned for commercial use. The current Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan uses W. 43 d Avenue as the approximate dividing line between village center commercial uses to the north and small office/business center to the south. The proposed use of a professional office building is in conformance with these land use classifications, Ill. DEVELOPMENT PLAN The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Commercial Development final development plan in order to construct an 18.000 sq. ft. professional office building. The submittal of this final development plan is the last step in the process prior to building plan approval. Design parameters for the property were established with the approval of the outline development plan and include the following: Uses permitted: All use allowed in the C- I zoning district Maximum building coverage: 20.400 sq. ft. (33.64%) Minimum landscape coverage: 6,063 ) sq. ft. (10.0%) Maximum paved coverage: 34.171 sq. ft. (5636%) Four story height limitation The proposed development plan shows a two-story office building. Of the 18.000 sq. ft. total area Planning Commission Page 2 WZ-99-16/M-E Engineers for the structure. approximately 3.500 sq. ft. is contained in the ground level wall the reinainill-0 15,000 sq. ft, on the second story. Much of the second story is elevated over a portion ofthe parking area. The building coverage on the site_ including the elevated portion. is 13.()3.4 sq. ft (25%). The total paved area covers 31.337 sq. ft, (52%) of the lot and includes the area under level two of the building. These proposed coverages meet the limitations established in the outline development plan. The plan proposes 25.828 sq, ft. of landscaped area which exceeds the minimum requirement of 6.06' ) sq. ft. The quantity of vegetation materials is exceeded, and the proposed sizes for specimens comply with City's landscape regulations. Signage for the property includes one monument sign located in a landscaped area near the drivewav entrance on W. 43 " Avenue. The sign is located outside the required 15'sight triangle. No wall signs will be mounted to the building, as indicated in note #4 under General Notes on the Site Plan (page I ). The applicant has provided a color architectural rendering of the proposed building (Exhibit D), Architectural materials consists of concrete. aluminum and glass in earth tone colors. The outline development plan requires an element of unified control in the architecture over the entire site. The surrounding area is developed with office buildings having varving architecture. The F I architecture of tile- proposed structure is not out of character with the surrounding area. The outline development plan further stipulates that roofs be sloped or semi-flat. The proposed building has a roof that is semi-flat. However, the physical roof is obscured by the roof parapet structure. so it has the appearance of being a flat roof. The initial plan submitted by the applicant included a roof structure for screening the mechanical equipment. At this time, the applicant has elected to remove this screening from the final development plan, Staff believes that the screening of mechanical equipment is an important component of quality development. Therefore, staff recommends the reinstatement of the roof structure for screening the mechanical equipment as a condition of approval. IV.

LUPDATE This is an update to Case No. �VZ-99-15. a request for approval to rezone 1.10 acres from R-2 Residential and 0.79 acres zoned R-C. Restricted Commercial. to Planned Commercial Development (PCD) Im property generally located at 975 1 West 44 1h Avenue, On Jarman 6.2000. the Planning Commission first heard this case. luring u the meeting, several issues were identified as unresolved, and the Commission Z� continued the hearing to February 3, 2000, so that the applicant and staff could research said issues. These items, and staff's or the applicant's response follow: Item 1. The applicant is to prepare a sign plan for the project, including: A. How the front monument sign will be used to advertise the individual tenants. 13. A plan for the individual tenant signs on the leasable spaces, C. Whether signage on glass areas (doors, windows) will be permitted. Response: The sign plan for the monument sign has been included oil Sheet 2 of the Planned Commercial Development. Area for individual tenant signage is shown on Sheet 2 of the PCT. Signage for the glass area of individual tenant's spaces Is not shown on the PCD- Item 2. The applicant shall develop an on-site lighting plan. Response: A sight lighting plan has been included on Sheet 2 of the Planned Industrial Development. The actual design of the ground mounted lighting units is not shown on the PCD. Item 3. The applicant shall consider possible truck delivery impacts to ; areas to the cast, and methods for buffering the pr oject from residence to the east. 170 Response: The applicant has asked to address this issue during the Plannino Commission hearing, Item 4. The applicant shall determine what fence methods he will use for the north property line adjacent to the school playground. Response: The applicant has asked to address this issue during the Planning Commission hearing. Item 5. Staff is to investigate whether acceleration/deceleration lanes for this project are m3iffism Response: Public Works staff reports that the 44 1h Avenue Business Park development, by itself, wil I not create a significant impact because of the low traffic generation as identified in previous memos, However, future development of the larger acreage to the west (referred to as Chado) will have the potential for substantial impacts to 44"' Avenue. Master planning the circulation patterns, including acceleration and deceleration lanes for new development on the adjacent 19 acreai!e to the west will be necessan'. Tools such as those used ill the Current 44" A% - c1lLlC Business Park application, Such as cross access for internal circulation. Should be Used for the future development of the adjacent properties. which will help alleviate future traffic impacts to 44"' Avenue. See rnerno from Steve Neuyen of the Public Works Department dated JallUary 20, 2000, attached. Item 6. Staff is to research the option of one-way-in and one-way-out traffic circulation for the project's driveway as opposed to two way in and out circulation at each curb cut driveway. Response: Public Works staff has analyzed the first submittal of the 44' Avellue Business Park Construction Plans (not necessarily the site plan) prepared by Lane Engineering, and reports that the one-way circulation would Nvork efficiently at both the driveway and in the parking lot, I However, signing in the parking lot area would be difficult and the level of awareness and compliance would be low, resulting in ongoing violations. Therefore, two-way in and out at each curb cut as currently proposed by the applicant is the preferred alternative. Item 7. Staff is to research the on-site impacts of semi tractor trailer trucks parking in the on-site drive aisles as well as circulating through the site. Response: Public Works staff used a intermediate size semi-truck template (total truck length of 50 feet) to analyze the on-site circulation system and has found that in order to adequately accommodate these vehicles, the driveway apron radius should be increased to 20 feet from the current 15 feet. This would provide adequate area for the trucks turning path for entering and exiting the project. The driveway width of 25 feet, as proposed by the applicant, is adequate. The current site layout is situated where it will be able to accommodate semi-trucks to circulate around the interior without obstructions even at comers of the site. If a truck is I oading/tin loading in the drive aisle (parallel and adjacent to the building), a vehicle Z in the parking stall would not be able to get out of it's space. In this same event, a car circulating though the drive aisle would be able to pass the truck. Item 8. Staff is to research the cumulative impacts to vehicle movement on 44"' Avenue from this and anticipated future development on adjacent properties to the west, IM The Planned Commercial Development has been revised since the January 6'hearinu With a11 Updated list of'permitted land uses discussed during the previous hearing. Staff has identified tile followl1w penis which have yet to be amended: A. (13) (B) Change to: Equipment rental agencies; provided. however, 110 Outdoor storage, 13. (13) (G) Locksmith shops should be removed. The applicant has included a sign plan for the monument sign, and has told staff" that lie will include wording that limits the amount of individual tenant glass"'widow area for signa-,e to no more than 2- percent of the total individual unit's glass area. The applicant has included a site lighting plan including the ground mounted lighting. The applicant has added a commitment to both ingress and egress at both project curb driveways, The 0 1 existing chain link fence on the north side of the project area is actually six feet. and has been shown on Sheet 2 of the PCD.

Y' ki I kh I " Approved Date TO: Martin Omer, Economic Development Specialist FROM: Steve Nguyen, 'Traffic Engineer DATE: Thursday, January 20, 2000 SUB.TECT: Traffic Impact, 44 1h Avenue Business Park, WZ-99-15 This memo serves as a response to your memo dated January 7, 2000 referencing the above development, Your memo essentially requested additional traffic analvsis including traffic impact and circulation, In addition, you needed to know if the proposed site layout would be able to accommodate a semi-trailer, Vehicle templates such as passenger car and intermediate semi-trailer (WB-40) were used to evaluate the proposed site layout. The evaluation reveals the following findings: L The driveway apron radius should be increased to 20 feet instead ofl 5 as proposed in the plan. This larger radius is to provide adequate area for the trucks turning path. The one-way would work efficiently; both at the driveway and in the parking lot. However, signing in the parking area would be difficult and the level of awareness and compliance would be low, If there is a truck load/unload in the drive aisle, a vehicle in the parking stall would not be able to get out of its space. 4. The current site layout is situated where it will be able to accommodate semi-trucks to circulate around the interior without obstructions even at comers of the site. all This development. for efficiency reasons. should plan a long term traffic access and circulation. which connect to the west parcel. To be specific, a provision sh(,)uld be established for future cross access at the northwe corner of this site to connect to the parcel to the west, Having this cross access, internal circulation would be optimum and site traffic can utilize other access if the immediate access is congested dUrill2l the hLIS\ hours. cc: Alan White, Director of Planning and Developement Greg Knudson, City Engineer File I A 22-foot cross access easement will be provided between the northwest corner of Lot I and the northeast corner of Lot 2 and will be shown on the plat with standard cross access easement language approved by the city attorney. 2.
