MMMMU I
Annexing and zoning the property as proposed will serve the interests of the City in the following ways:
1. The City receives the regulatory authority over future land use proposals for development of
the property-
2. The City receives the economic benefit of any future development on the property with
minor impacts to the City in providing services to the property.

111. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION
State, statutes also state that meeting the requirement of contiguity "shall be a basis for a finding of
compliance with these requirements, unless the governing body ... finds that at least two of the following
are shown to exist:"
ANX-98-041 W2 -98-16 Page 3
Planning Commission
State statutes also require that a plan for the area extending three miles from the City's boundaries be in
place. The City Council has adopted the Jefferson County North Plains Community Plan, with
modifications, as the City's Three Mile Plan. That plan shows the area under consideration for annexation
as retail, office, industrial and/or residential (with density of up to 15 units per acre) uses.
Exhibit B is the legal description of the property proposed for zoning, while Exhibit C contains the
proposed list of pertnitted and prohibited land uses for the property. Staff has the following comments
regarding the criteria used to evaluate a zone change application:
1. That the existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City
of Wheat Ridge is an error.
The property is currently -a part of unincorporated Jefferson County and is therefore not on the
official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge. City staff is not aware of any error in zoning
the County level.
Z. That 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.
AX- 98- 041W•98 -16 Page 5
Planning Commission
All applicable service agencies (water, sewer, telephone, etc.) can provide or are currently providing
service to the property. Any future development of the property will be required to include site
specific drainage facilities, if necessary.
7. That the proposed zoning will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by creating
excessive traffic congestion, creating drainage problems, or seriously reduce light and air to
adjacent properties.
8. That the property cannot reasonably be developed under the existing zoning conditions.
The property is currently developed as a medical facility including patient treatment services,
pharmacy, offices, laboratories, etc. Future development of the northern portion of the property will
meet the use criteria
• Exhibit C. The property can be developed under the existing Jefferson
County zoning, but uses are limited to the following:
That the zoning will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or
nearby areas.
10. That there is a void in an area or community need that the change of zone will rill by
providing for necessary services, products or facilities especially appropriate at the location,
considering available alternatives.
Approximately half of the property is currently developed and is providing necessary medical
services to the community. Future development of the property, guided by the use restrictions of
ANX-98-04/WZ-98-16 Page 6
Planning Commission
Exhibit C, will help to assure a logical land use scenario for future development when and if
development occurs. There are no plans for development of the property at this time and it is not
possible to ascertain if a community need will be filled.

property in its present developed state is not expected.
Z. Impacts to police services from the future development of the property cannot be determined
at this time.
Recreation District.
Jefferson County in a letter dated November 5, 1998, the County submitted the following comments:
Avoid adverse impacts to the Fairmount community relative to noise, odors, traffic, glare, smoke, and the
presence of hazardous materials and waste.
Aesponding Without Concerns:
City of Wheat Ridge Department of Public Works in a memorandum dated October 7, 1998, the Public
Works Department submitted the following comments:
Because Ward Road is a State Highway, there is no impact to Public Works. All maintenance
operations and capital improvements are performed by CDOT. Access and all plan review for Ward
Road impacts must be approved by CDOT.

extension of the City's boundaries, is able to be served by and is in the best interest of the City. Therefore,
