Wheat Ridge Forestry Division: The City Forester has reviewed the landscape plan and has provided one note to the applicant regarding the protection of root zones of trees along Miller Street. V. REZONING and AMENDMENT TO OUTLINE AND FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA The City's Code of Laws provides the following review criteria to be used when evaluating requests for rezoning: 1. That the existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is an error. There is no error in the zoning classification. Planning Commission Page 4 WZ-00-02/Sanders 8. That the property cannot reasonably be developed under the existing zoning conditions. Due to the size of the two parcels zoned A-1, Agricultural, and their proximity to light industrial and commercial land uses, it is not likely that either parcel would be used for agriculturally related uses. The property is currently develope• with a light industrial business use. Due to the size and depth of the existing site, expansion of the business is difficult under the constraints of the current PID. 9. That the zoning will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas. Rezoning these two parcels to Planned Industrial Development will not create isolated or spot zoning. 10. That there is a void in an area or community need that the change of zone will fill by providing for necessary services, products or facilities especially appropriate at the location, considering available alternatives. This application has been submitted in response to expansion needs of the business. It is not known if this business fills a void in services or products in the area, Planning Commission Page 5 Z- 00- 02/Sanders WI F IVEM P - l d - A MARN-112M VI.
