I. REQUEST Case No. WZ -12 -01 is an application by the City of Wheat Ridge Public Works Department requesting approval of a zone change from Agricultural -One (A -1) to Public Facilities (PF) for property located north of the existing Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility at 12110 W. 45` Avenue. The property is also known as Lot 2 of the Pumpkin Patch Subdivision (Exhibit 1, Legal Description & Plat). The purpose of the zone change is to consolidate the zoning at the Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility (WRMF) in preparation for an expansion of the existing maintenance facility (Exhibit 2, Letter of Request). Prior to future development, two additional land use applications will be required: a consolidation plat and a planned building group (PBG). Those applications will be submitted and reviewed by Planning Commission in the coming months. The proposed rezoning area includes one parcel, the total area of which is 1.49 acres. H. PROPERTY HISTORY / EXISTING CONDITIONS Property History The property is located north of the existing Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility (WRMF) at 12110 W. 45 Avenue —north of W. 44' Avenue, between Parfet and Quail Streets (Exhibit 3, Aerial). The subject site was purchased by the City in 2009 specifically for the purpose of expanding the maintenance facility. The existing maintenance facility has served as an operations center for public works for over 40 years. The WRMF has gradually expanded with the purchase of adjacent properties, and has several structures including an office building, auto repair shop, salt/sand barn, fueling stations, and several outbuildings. In 2004, the Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments collaborated to complete the Public Works /Parks Maintenance Master Plan. The plan was approved by City Council and recommends consolidation of maintenance operations and storage related to the Public Works, Parks, and Police Departments at the WRMF. In accordance with the master plan, a new police evidence building was constructed in 2006 in the northwest corner of the property. Also in 2006, the maintenance facility was rezoned from Residential -One (R -1) and Agricultural -One (A -1) to the Public Facilities (PF) zone district, per Case No. WZ- 06 -04. The purpose of the zone change was to consolidate the zoning on the property and to permit outside storage of impounded vehicles and bicycles —a permitted use under the PF zoning. The next phase of the master plan calls for expansion of the maintenance facility onto the subject property. The site was purchased in 2009 to accommodate the Parks Department at the maintenance facility. The site is currently vacant, but the Parks Department has secured funding and is preparing for construction of covered and open storage buildings for equipment and vehicles. Currently, the Parks, Forestry & Open Space offices and shop are based out of Anderson Park at Field Street and W. 44` Avenue. This property is located in the floodplain, and the continued storage of Case No. WZ -12 -01 / WRMF 2 equipment in the floodplain presents an environmental and economic liability for the City. The Parks staff already utilizes the WRMF for fueling, so moving Parks' equipment to the maintenance facility is a logical proposal. The total area of the subject lot is 64,770 square feet (1.49 acres). Combined with the developed portion of the Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility to the south, the total area of city -owned land in this area is nearly 5 acres. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use The surrounding properties include a variety of land uses and zoning designations (Exhibit 4, Zoning The subject parcel is currently vacant land and is zoned Agriculture -One (A -1). The developed portion of the Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility to the south is zoned Public Facilities (PF). Surrounding parcels include primarily residential land uses. To the southeast and west are one- and two- family residential neighborhoods zoned Residential -Two (R -2). To the north and east are multi - acre residential lots zoned A -1. The Alpine Valley School is located to the east at 4501 Parfet Street to the east. Immediately south of the maintenance facility are parcels that have frontage on W. 44' Avenue and are zoned Residential -One (R -1), Agriculture -One (A -1), and Commercial -One (C -1). The subject site has minimal access to a public street. The west side of the property has 50 feet of right -of -way frontage where West 46` Avenue dead ends. The lot will be accessed through the existing WRMF via W. 45` Avenue (Exhibit 5, Site Photos). Properties in the area include both platted and unplatted parcels. The subject lot is part of the Pumpkin Patch Subdivision, approved and recorded in 2009. III. PROPOSED ZONING While the proposed storage buildings may be constructed under the A -1 zoning on the subject lot, staff recommends a zone change for the subject parcel from Agricultural -One (A -1) to Public Facilities (PF). A zone change to PF is consistent with the zoning to the south and is appropriate for the proposed land uses in the Public Works /Parks Maintenance Master Plan. The Public Facilities zone district provides for property devoted to public and quasi - public buildings and facilities. The PF zone district recognizes that such properties are unique in many respects, but nevertheless establishes appropriate development standards and land use regulations. The table on the following page compares the proposed and existing standards that apply to the subject property. Notably, the Public Facilities zone district allows substantially more building coverage and allows outside storage as a permitted use. In addition, barbed wire fencing is permitted in the PF zone district and will be installed along the property line, as is preferred by the Parks, Police, and Public Works Departments for secure storage of equipment. Case No. WZ -12 -01 / WRMF From a use perspective, the Public Facilities zone district is notably more restrictive than the A -1 zone district. The only permitted uses in the PF zone district are governmental and quasi - governmental buildings, fire stations, parks, produces stands, public schools, and urban gardens. There are no special uses identified for the PF zone district. IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in section 26- 122.D.2. The Planning Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the following criteria have been met: 1. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error. Staff has found no evidence of any error on the official zoning maps; the subject parcel is currently zoned Agricultural -One (A -1) as it appears on the City's zoning map. Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable. Case No. WZ -12 -01 / WRMF 4 AgFricultural-One (A-1) Public Facilities (PF) Setback — Front ; i 50' when adjacent to a dedicated public street Setback — Side 10' for the first story 5' for each additional story Setback — Rear 20' 10' for the first story 5' for each additional story Height 35' maximum 50' maximum Building/Lot Coverage 25% maximum 80% maximum (buildings only) (buildings + hard surface) 20% minimum; landscape and buffering requirements for new Landscaping nonresidential development Permitted in PF where placed on Permitted in A -1 provided any top of a 6' fence; barbed wire barbed wire is located at least 3' should be not taller than 2' and Barbed Wire Fencing inside of another permitted fence where adjacent to residential and that the other fence is at least development, consideration 42" high should be given to minimize the impact through buffering Outside Storage (for Special use Permitted use governmental buildings) Architectural Standards ASDM applies to new, nonresidential development See requirements below From a use perspective, the Public Facilities zone district is notably more restrictive than the A -1 zone district. The only permitted uses in the PF zone district are governmental and quasi - governmental buildings, fire stations, parks, produces stands, public schools, and urban gardens. There are no special uses identified for the PF zone district. IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in section 26- 122.D.2. The Planning Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the following criteria have been met: 1. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error. Staff has found no evidence of any error on the official zoning maps; the subject parcel is currently zoned Agricultural -One (A -1) as it appears on the City's zoning map. Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable. Case No. WZ -12 -01 / WRMF 4 2. A change in character in the area has occurred due to installation of public facilities, other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration, or development transitions. In 2004, the Public Works /Parks Maintenance Master Plan was created and adopted to consider the long term use of the WRMF. In 2006, in accordance with the master plan, a zone change was approved for the developed portion of the Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility immediately to the south of the subject parcel. Per Case No. WZ -06 -04 the WRMF was rezoned from Residential -One (R -1) and Agricultural -One (A -1) to the Public Facilities (PF) zone district. The subject parcel was purchased in 2009 to provide an extension of this existing use, therefore, the proposed rezoning is consistent the master plan and 2006 zone change. The area has historically been used for public works operations, and the zone change is consistent with the new growth of a long- standing use. This application will consolidate the zoning on the City -owned property under one district. Staff'concludes that this criterion has been met. 3. The Planning Commission shall also find that the evidence supports the finding of at least four (4) of the following: 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 of the City's comprehensive plan— Envision Wheat Ridge —and is consistent with the City - adopted Public Works /Parks Maintenance Master Plan. One of the six key values upon which the comprehensive plan is based is to "provide quality community amenities, services, and resources." Additionally, the comprehensive plan specifies the goal of providing and maintaining core community services, facilities, and an adequate level of service. The Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility currently supports the basic services provided to the citizens of Wheat Ridge. The zone change and subsequent expansion of the WRMF on the subject parcel will enable continued provision of superior community services. The consolidation of multi - department operations at the WRMF will also eliminate inefficiencies, all of which supports the goals of the comprehensive plan. The Structure Plan within Envision Wheat Ridge is a general map that 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 —such as the WRMF. In the Structure Plan, the WRMF is in a "neighborhood" overlay because the predominant land use in the area is residential. Governmental- and quasi - governmental uses are permitted in residential zone districts, and the proposed zone change is not expected to disrupt the character of the semi -rural neighborhood that exists in the area. Case No. WZ -12 -01 / WRMF The zone change is also consistent with the Public Works /Parks Maintenance Master Plan which calls for consolidating the operations, maintenance, and storage of several city departments at the WRMF. The master plan shows a full build -out scenario that includes covered and enclosed storage on the subject parcel, as well as future improvements on the southern portion such as a new administration building. The master plan considers the 5 -acre facility comprehensively — including the subject parcel and the developed portion of the WRMF to the south. As such, uniform zoning under the PF district is consistent with the land uses proposed for the entire site in the master plan (Exhibit 6, Master Plan). Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. b. The proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will be minimal adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived. The proposed change of zone is compatible with the existing Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility to the south. The property is also surrounded by semi -rural and residential land uses. Because the WRMF is the highest intensity use in the area, screening and landscaping will be required to minimize potential adverse impacts. When the subject property is developed the site will be required to meet setback and buffering requirements. This will include a 6 -foot tall solid fence and a 10- to 15 -foot landscape buffer on the east, north, and west sides of the property. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. c. There will be social, recreational, physical and /or economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone. The proposed zone change is expected to benefit the community. The demand from citizens and businesses in Wheat Ridge for public services including police protection and park and road maintenance will continue to increase. The zone change and expansion of the WRMF on the subject parcel will enable continued provision of these services. The ability to have outside storage on the site under the Public Facilities (PF) zone district will allow storage of Parks equipment on the property. Much of this equipment is currently stored at Anderson Park and is located in the floodplain. This presents an environmental and economic liability for the community. The Parks staff already utilizes the WRMF for fueling, so storage of the Parks' equipment at the maintenance facility not only moves equipment out of the floodplain, it also eliminates inefficiencies and provides an economic benefit to the City. Staff concludes this criterion has been met. d. Adequate infrastructure /facilities are available to serve the type of uses allowed by the change of zone, or that the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity. Case No. WZ-1 2-01 / WRMF Prior to future development, two additional land use applications will be required: a consolidation plat and a planned building group (PBG). These applications will include a referral to all impacted utility agencies. There are currently no utilities on the property, but they are expected to be accessible from the developed portion of the Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility or from W. 46' Avenue. In the event that current capacity is not adequate, utility upgrades will be required. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. e. The change of zone will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by creating excessive traffic congestion, creating drainage problems, or seriously reducing light and air to adjacent properties. The change of zone will not adversely affect public health, safety, or welfare. While the new zoning would allow higher- intensity development on the now vacant lot, any proposed development will be reviewed for traffic impacts, drainage, and buffering. Development proposals will be required to meet stonmwater drainage and water quality requirements in order to be approved, therefore no drainage problems are anticipated. The requested zone change is the first step in the proposed expansion of the maintenance facility. All City vehicles are currently fueled at the WRMF regardless of whether or not they are stored at the site. For this reason, even with an expansion under the proposed PF zoning, a significant increase in traffic or trips is not anticipated. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. 4. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual. No site plan is required as part of the zone change application, therefore it is not possible to assess compliance with the Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM) at this time. If the property is rezoned to Public Facilities, the ASDM will apply to any new construction and compliance will be assessed at the time the property is developed. Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable. V. 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 input was held on February 1, 2012. Seven persons from the neighborhood were in attendance (Exhibit 7, Neighborhood Meeting Notes). VI. AGENCY REFERRAL All affected service agencies were contacted for comment on the zone change request and regarding the ability to serve the property. Specific referral responses follow: Case No. WZ -12 -01 / WRMF Valley Water District: There are no concerns with the zone change. Xcel Energy: There are no objections to the proposed zone change contingent upon maintaining all existing rights and ability for future expansion. Wheat Ridge Public Works Department: There are no concerns with the zone change. Wheat Ridge Police Department: There are no concerns with the zone change. Comments received relate only to the zone change request. No comment was received from the sanitation district, fire district, phone /cable provider, Parks & Recreation Department, and Building Division. Referral recipients are advised that no comment received indicates having no objections or concerns regarding the proposal. A separate referral process will be required as part of future site development and will likely yield additional comments from outside agencies and City departments. VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff concludes that the proposed zone change is consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan and the Public Works /Parks Maintenance Master Plan. Staff concludes that the zone change will consolidate the zoning designations on the Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility and will be compatible with the developed portion of the maintenance facility to the south. Any impact of the zone change to surrounding residential uses will be minimized through screening and landscaping. Staff further concludes that the zone change will provide a benefit to the community by enabling continued and efficient provision of public services. Staff concludes that any development under the new zoning will be required to provide utility upgrades, as needed. Finally, staff concludes that the proposed zone change will not adversely affect public health, safety, or welfare; and architectural controls in the Architectural and Site Design Manual will support compatibility of future development with surrounding land uses. Therefore, because the zone change evaluation criteria support the zone change request, a recommendation of approval is given. VIII.

Planner I FROM: Mark Westberg. PE. CFM. Project Supervisor DATE: February 7. 2012 SUBJECT: Lot 2 of the Pumpkin Patch Subdivision Public Works staff is requesting to rezone the property north of the existing Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility, WRl\g', fiom A -1 to PF. We offer the following justification: a. This lot will be incorporated into the WRMF in order to expand the site to include maintenance and storage buildings for the Parks and Recreation Department. The existing WRMF is zoned PF and so it is appropriate to rezone this lot to PF also, since it will also be used as a public facility. b. The surrounding properties are zoned A -1 and R -2. The WRMF site has been used as a maintenance facility for over 40 years since before the City was incorporated, so this proposal is merely and expansion of the existing zoning and development and does not reflect a dramatic change to the area. c. This lot will be accessed through the existing WRlvff. Since most of the Parks staff utilizes the site for fueling. a significant increase in trips is not anticipated. d. Utilities are available fiom the existing WRMF site. If necessary, some utilities may be accessed from W 46 Avenue. e. This proposal does not affect existing facilities since it is just an expansion of the existing WRlvff. In addition. emergency access will now be available fiom W 46 Avenue through a locked gate. f. This proposal prepares the site for the implementation of the City of Wheat Ridge Public Works/Parks Maintenance Master Plan that was adopted by City Council in 2004. g. Public Works staff is available to prepare any other information that may be necessary. Given the above information, the design that was presented at the meeting represents the absolute minimum design and has the least impact on all of the adjacent property owners and on the City budget. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know. Case No. WZ -12 -01 / WRMF EXHIBIT 3: AERIAL The property outlined in green is the lot subject to the zone change request. After the zone change, the northern parcel is expected to be developed for the expansion of the Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility. The ditch that traverses the site has since been relocated along the perimeter of the property.

Plan: Residential Existing Site Conditions: The property is located in the northwestern quadrant of the City of Wheat Ridge. north of W. 44th Avenue. between Parfet and Quail Streets. The total area of city-owned property is in this area is nearly 5 acres in size. The property immediately south of the subject lot is developed and has long been used as the Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility (WRMF). The address is 11210 W. 45th Avenue and the developed property is 152,836 square feet in size or 3.5 acres. The parcel immediately to the north is the subject of the zone change request. It does not yet have an assigned address. but is known as lot 2 of the Pumpkin Patch subdivision (PIN 39- 212 -19 -001). The parcel was purchased by the City in 2008 specifically for the purpose of expanding the maintenance facility. This northern parcel is 64.770 square feet in size or 1.49 acres. The northern parcel is currently vacant land and is zoned Agriculture -One (A -1). The developed portion of the Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility to the south is zoned Public Facilities (PF). Surrounding parcels include primarily residential land uses. To the north and east are multi -acre residential lots zoned A -1. To the southeast and west are one - and two - family residential neighborhoods zoned Residential -Two (R -2). Immediately south of the maintenance facility are parcels that have frontage on W. 44th Avenue and are zoned R -1. A -1. and C -1. Case No. WZ -12 -01 / WRMF 18 The Wheat Ridge Maintenance Facility includes several structures including an office building. auto repair shop, salt /sand bane. police evidence building. fueling stations, and several outbuildings. The majority of the site is paved and fenced with restricted access from W. 45th Avenue. The unaddressed parcel to the notch is vacant and is fenced. The attached timeline includes a complete history of the property. Applicant /Owner Preliminary Proposal: In 2004. the Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments collaborated to complete the Public if'orkslPmhs Maintenance Afaster Plan. The plan entails consolidation of maintenance operations. storage. and administrative firnctions related to the Public Works. Parks. and Police Departments at the existing '% Ridge Maintenance Facility. The proposed site plan for the northern parcel includes covered equipment storage, covered vehicle storage. enclosed vehicle storage, an open parking area. and a storm water detention pond. Improvements on the southern portion of the property include a possible relocation of the fueling area. a new two -story administration building. and additional covered storage for vehicles and equipment. To accommodate the expansion and development, several land use applications are proposed: • a zone change application to rezone the northern parcel from A -1 to PF: • a subdivision application to consolidate the multiple city-owned parcels: and • a planned building group (PBG) for approval of multiple structures on the property. A neighborhood meeting is required only for the zone change application. Public hearings will be required for all three land use applications. A building permit will be required for the new development on the northern parcel. The applicant will be listed as the City of Wheat Ridge, and the Public Works Department will be submitting the applications for the zone change, consolidation, and planned building group (PBG). The Parks Department will be responsible for submitting building plans associated with fht ue development on the northern parcel. The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting: • In addition to staff. seven members of the public attended the neighborhood meeting: Mr. Bob Lawson. Mr. Kent Young, A4r. Lary Welshon, Nh Scott Goode, Mrs. Jodi Dreux. Mr. Chuck Dreux, and Mr. AI Williams. • Mr. Welshon and Mr. Goode are associated Alpine Valley School located at 4501 Parfet. Mr. Lawson is a property owner on the west side of the property. The Dreuxs and Mr. Young are property owners on the east side of the maintenance facility. Mr. Williams is the property owner from whom the City purchased lot 2 of the Pumpkin Patch Subdivision. he owns and resides at lot 1 which is immediately adjacent to the east. • Staff explained the history of the site. the content of the master plan• and the proposed fitture development for the northern parcel. • After learning about the proposal, none of the attendees expressed any concerns related to the rezoning. • The members of the public were unformed of the process for a zone change. • The members of the public were unformed of their opportunity to make comments duuing the process Case No. WZ -12 -01 / WRMF 19 and at the public hearings. • Attendees were also informed of the future applications for a lot consolidation and planned building group: these applications do not require a neighborhood meeting but will entail public hearings and an additional opportunity for public input. • One attendee thanked the City for moving and maintaining the ditch on the property. • One attendee expressed concern regarding the barbed wire along the perimeter and requested consideration of the surrounding residences to the west. • After discussion of the proposal, staff entertained questions regarding other city projects and codes including related to Frritdale School. 38 Avenue, the Baugh House. driveway requirements, and surveillance cameras on the police evidence building. The following issues were discussed regarding the zone change request and proposed development: Will there be access to the site from W. 46 Avenue? No, the priman- access to the site will continue to come f our W. 4.0 Avenue. West 4e Avenrte dead ends into the site, and a gate will be located here for ernergenc'y access on1 •. Access mm• be required in the rare instance of an emergency or sigrrlficalt snow event. If the Parks Department relocates to the maintenance facility. will there be a significant increase in traffic? Staffdoes not expect a significant increase in traffic. At this point, only the Public Works Operations staff are based at the site, however all Oh- vehicles are currently fueled at the property. 77tis includes all Police Department, Parks, and Public Works rehicles. For this reason, the nrtmber of trips to the properly is not expected to increase sigrnificanitl'. If the adn►inistration building is constructed at the site, there rear be more trips concentrated at the beginning and end of the day. What will be the design of the new structures? Tire design of tl►e rle►r buildings has not ret been finalized. Tl►e nets vehicle storage areas on the western and middle portion of tire, northern lot frill be one ston• in height. The equipment storage building opt the north side of the lot trill be one stop', but given its size, it mar be taller to accommodate the spare of the roof. I he Cih•'s design standards it apply, and the site plan and elevations will have to be approved through a Planed Building Group and a public hearing process. Will the site include landscaping? The existing cottonwood ore tl►e west side of propery -iras removed at the recommendation of the Cite Arborist, however neir trees it-ill be planted and a 15-foot hide landscape buffer will be located along the perimeter of the propery. Landscaping „'ill likely be installed incrententall as the site is develops. Why rezone to Public Facilities? Tile southernt portion of the maintenance facility it - as re-oned to Public Facilities (PF) inn 2006 and it makes sense to consolidate the zoning corder one district. The PF zoning is appropriate of the proposed ntses; tine 0111' per7nritteld uses ill this zot►e distr7ct a'e got'er7nnerrtal a ►d gntas7- goverrnrnental facilities, schools, and uses related to urban agriculture including at urban garden.

In addition, the PF zoning allom+ s for outdoor storage and barbed wire fencing which tine City desires for securih' of the fleet and equipment that will be located there. Staff received no written comment from others in the area regarding the proposal. Case No. 97-12 -01 / ►VRMF 20
