JURISDICTION:
The property is within the City of Wheat, Ridge, and all notification and posting requirements have been met,
therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case.
The property in question consists of 1 2 parcels located at 1 )51 and 10399 W. 44" Avenue. The
site is currently being used for a school in the Jefferson County school system. The eastern parcel
(103 51 W. 44t Ave.) is zoned A -1, Agricultural-One, and the western parcel (10399 W 44' Ave.)
is zoned R-C, Restricted-Commercial. (Exhibit 1, Zoning Map).
The applicant (owner) is requesting approval of conditional use permit to allow expansion of the
school on the eastern parcel, which is zoned A-1. The expansion includes removal of existing
structure and construction of 3 additional classrooms, a multi-purpose room and playground
improvements.
The applicant is also requesting approval of a 10' side yard setback variance from the required 30'
side yard setback on the western parcel. The purpose of the variance request is to allow for the
construction of an enclosed entryway vestibule within 20' of the Miller Street right-of-way,
Two separate motions will be required.
11. CASE HISTORY
In 1998, Compass Montessori began preliminary planning to occupy the farm market building on
the western parcel as a Jefferson County charter school. In April 1998, a conditional use permit
was granted to Compass Montessori for development of a children's playground on the eastern
parcel (A -1 zoning district). See Exhibit 3, minutes of the April 16, 1998 meeting.
In August 1999, Compass Montessori was granted a conditional use permit to expand classroom
space into the existing building on the eastern parcel. This classroom occupied the structure which
was formerly a single family home. See Exhibit 4, minutes of the August 5, 1999 meeting.
SITE PLAN
Application for a conditional use permit requires submittal of a site development plan. The
applicant has submitted proposed elevations (Exhibit 5, Elevations) and a site plan for proposed
improvements (Exhibit 6, Site Plan).
The 10' side yard setback variance requested by the applicant applies to the west side of the
existing school building at Miller St. The addition of an enclosed entryway vestibule is planned to
provide a sheltered area for the west doors into the building. This addition would be constructed
within 20'of the Miller St. right-of-way.
Staff has received no objection to or public comment regarding this conditional use permit and
variance request thus far.

VII. VA HA? CE C RITERIA,
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
i1r, which it is located?
If the request is denied, the property may yield a reasonable return in service and income.
The property is currently used for a school and this use may continue on the property,
regardless of the outcome of the variance request.
2. Is the plight of the owner due to unique circumstances?
— ------
- Vlarini n Commission rage a
CUP-00-021Compass Montessori
3. If the variation were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality`'
Approval of this request would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. The
entryway would provide an enclosed waiting area for parents and students.
4. Would the particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the
specific property involved result in a particular hardship (upon the owner) as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were
carried out?
The school site is situated on 2 rectangular shaped parcels and the property is relatively
flat. The inconvenience relating to the site comes from the placement of the farm market
building on the 30' setback line. This situation leaves no other options for incorporating
an enclosed entryway onto the west side of the building.
5. Would the conditions upon which the petition for a variation is based be applicable,
generally, to the other property within the same zoning classification?
Other property owners in the same zoning classification may request the same type of
variance. However, each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and evaluated
based on the circumstances pertaining to each request. Therefore, the outcome in each
case may be different.
6. Is the purpose of the variation based exclusively upon a desire to make money out
of the property
The requested variance is not based on any desire to make money out of the property.
The property is currently being used as a school and will continue to be used as a school,
The purpose of the request is to construct an enclosed entryway at the west doors of the
school building.
7. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having
an interest in the property?
The building being used to house the school was originally constructed to be used for a
farm market. The applicant and owner, Compass Montessori, had • interest in the
*roperty when the building was constructed. However, the required side yard setback
30 feet was in existence when property was purchased for the school facility. There are
no other alternatives for locating an enclosed entryway at the west doors.
8. Would the granting of the variations be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the
property is located?
Approval of this variance should not be detrimental to the public's welfare or injurious to
other property or improvements in the area. The addition of the entryway would be an
Planning Commission Page 7
CUP-00-02/Compass Montessori
improvement to the facility which could be beneficial to noise impacts on the area by
providing a protected waiting area for students and parents. There is no evidence of code
complaints regarding this school facility.
9. Would the proposed variation impair the adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion in the public streets or
increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish
or impair property values within the neighborhood.
Approval of the variance request would result in an individual benefit to the property
owner and could also be considered a benefit to the neighborhood and comiminity. The
closed entryway would provide a small safe area of assembly for entering and exiting
students and parents, Approval of this request is not expected to result in the reasonable
accommodation of a handicapped person.
VIII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION

3. All items listed in condition #2 above and landscaping shall be inspected and approved prior
to occupancy of the building".

from transporting 150-180 children to and from the school and asked if a traffic impact study
had been completed. Bob Goebel replied that the traffic engineer had assessed the situation
and felt it was advisable to close the access from 44th Avenue because of the heavy traffic
on that street.

Commissioner THOMPSON asked if it would be possible to put a condition on the CUP to
require the school to seek rezoning for any future changes to the buildings. Alan White stated
that it would probably
• possible to place a condition that any further modifications than those
allowed in the last CUP should be pursued as rezoning, but reminded her that rezoning would
allow many other uses ♦ that property should the school ever leave.

request.
Z. The staff recommends approval with the following condition: That the shrubbery
at the entrance to the driveway be removed or cut down to a maximum height of
36 inches.
Commissioner GOKEY offered an amendment to request that the driveway be increased to 22
feet in order to handle two-way traffic and that the shrubs be completely removed for safety
reasons. Commissioner SNOW indicated she would not accept the amendment because she is
concerned that a wider driveway would encourage heavier use.
Commissioner GO KEY commented that he would like to see a one-way sign posted for the
driveway.
