This case was continued from the June 4" Planning Commission date at the request of the City's Department
of Public Works. Public Works has requested and received revised engineering drawings which more
satisfactorily address said Department's concerns. Included as part of this overall case are approval of a
variance for the length of the cul-de-sac, and approval of the street classification designation and street
width.
Staff has included a requestfor variance approval of 3,000+/- feet from the 500 foot maximum length as
provided in City's Subdivision Regulations for a total roadway/cul-de-sac length of 3,500+/- feet. Staff has
the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a variance request:
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'?
No. The property is comprised of 51 acres of land oriented in a mostly linear manner. The
limitation of one access way combined with a constrained interior roadway would likely prove to
be prohibitive to the development and success of the property development.

7. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having an interest
in the property?
No. The hardship is inherent in the physical aspects of the subject property.
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?
No. The vegetation and topography • the site will effectively serve to block the view of this
variance is not expected to create a detriment to the public welfare. The roadway length has received
conditional approval from the Fairmont Fire Protection District.
9. Would the proposed variation impair the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property

endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the

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.
I, REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of a 2-lot minor subdivision for an existing Industrial Development
known as the Wheat Ridge Industrial Center. The property is zoned Planned Industrial Development
and is located at 12200 West 52 Avenue.
11. CASE HISTORY
Council on May 8, 1975 as a request of a rezone. The property was approved to be rezoned from
Agricultural-Two and Light Industrial to a Planned Industrial Development, which concurrently
permitted the development to be subdivided into two separate lots (shown • the original plat as Lots I
and 2).
Of the tw• L• ts shown on the original development plan, the applicant is requesting the subdivision of
Lot 1. Therefore, the property located on the east portion ♦ the Wheat Ridge Industrial Center will
remain as Lot 2. The building on Lot 2 was built in January 1985. An administrative amendment was
approved in 1997 to divide allowed buildable area ♦ Lot I into two buildings.
All outside service agencies can serve the property with improvements paid for at the developer's
expense.
Public Works Department requires dedicatory language for access easements and detention pond
easements.
'IYe ngineerFng iplepartment was concerne • at Trus sutialvislon may a
future realignment of Ridge Road and West 52" Because the development already exists, the
minor subdivision should not impact the realignment.
All of the lather public agencies stated that the minor subdivision would not impact any of the existing
services.
the west side of the development. The proposed plat will create two parcels, Lot I A and I B. The
applicant intends to keep Lot IA. The existing building on Lot I A is 18,000 square feet and the building
on Lot I B is 9,000 square feet. Both buildings allow f o r office / warehouse use and provide adequate
parking.

The definitions reviewed last year were:
Net Density: Net Density is the number of dwelling units'allowed on an area of land
excluding all streets and roads, whether public • private, to their full platted, dedicated
• reserved width for circulation for the traveling public within or through the
development, The calculation for net density shall exclude those areas used as driveways
and access to parking areas.
Maximum Density: Maximum density shall not exceed the stated number. This per acre
maximum is not a guarantee and shall only apply if all site development standards and
rezoning evaluation criteria are adhered to. The future land use map for residential units
contained within this plan designates a range of densities. There is no absolute right to
�i
Why a definition of "maximum density" needs to be created and included in the Zoning
Ordinance is not clear. The Code does not use density as a development standard for the variou
zone districts. Minimum lot size and lot width are used to control the size of lots and, ultimatel
density. I
Staff recommends that this issue be tabled indefinitely and discussed as part of the upcoming
Comprehensive Plan meetings with City Council. Ultimately, staff recommends that the
densities of the land use categories in the Comprehensive Plan be defined as net densities and
that a definition of net density be included also. The "maximum density" definition noted above
should become an additional policy in the land use chapter.
The definition of net density can be included in the Zoning Ordinance, but it has limited
applicability.
