Planning Commission Minutes - I — June 21, 2012 A. Case No. ZOA-12-03: An ordinance amending the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning group home regulations. This case was presented by Ken Johnstone. He entered all pertinent documents into the record and advised the Commission there was jurisdiction to hear the case. He reviewed the staff report and digital presentation. Group home regulations were updated in 1996. In April 2012, City Council approved a 90-day moratorium based on recent applications for fairly large group homes in residential districts. Staffhas prepared a draft ordinance to create zoning regulations for residential group homes, , for the handicapped and to make all residential group home zoning regulations genpr Ytonsistent. Commissioner BRINKMAN referred to unrelated (5) people and suggested that 4 of t he ordinance (Four or eve be amended for consistency. Commissioner MATTHEWS asked a" residents from day to day.

Nancy Snow 11155 West 40 Ave`fiue Ms. Snow stated that she has worked for the Colorado Civil Rights Division for over 24 years and is familiar with group home regulations. In regard to concern expressed about traffic, she commented that group homes usually generate less traffic than a normal residence because the residents normally can't drive. She expressed opposition to limiting the number of residents in a facility to eight. Hearings on applications for more than eight would be unfriendly and very expensive to the city and to the group homes. She would like to see a higher number allowed so Planning Commission Minutes - 2 — June 21, 2012 Commissioner WEAVER asked if there are restrictions on the number of group homes allowed in the city.

ZOA-93-01 and ZOA-96- 08). At the time, both 84 inches and 96 inches were established as upper limits of the vertical ZOA-1 1-06 / Sight Triangle clear zone. The contents of the case file do not indicate why the upper limit of 84 inches was ultimately selected in 1996. When the zoning code was repealed and reenacted in 2001, the lower clear zone limit was reduced from 42 inches to 36 inches for sight triangles along arterial and collector streets. New language was added to clarify that the clear zone is measured from the flow line or edge of pavernent; previously, the code did not establish a location for this measurement, The standards related to sight triangles and clear zones have not been amended since 2001. Additionally, the location of the sight triangle does not currently align with the location from which the vertical clear zone is measured—the latter is measured vertically from the curb and gutter flow line or from the edge of pavement if no curb is present. The proposed method for measuring the sight distance triangle is along the flow line or edge of pavement which can be easily located in the field. This method of measuring will also result in sight distance triangle that is positioned at the true comer of intersections, providing a more logical clear area for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The length of the sight distance triang depends on the type of intersection, and there is no change proposed for those measurements. I measured along the visible curb and gutter flow line or along the edge of pavement. ZOA-I 1-06 / Sight Triangle A. Current: The sight triangle is currently measured along the property or right-of-way line which is difficult to field locate. "Al L Flow Line J 25' Edge of Pavement measured along the visible curb and gutter flow line or along the edge of pavement. ZOA-I 1-06 / Sight Triangle A. Current: The sight triangle is currently measured along the property or right-of-way line which is difficult to field locate. The vertical clear zone is the area above the sight distance triangle. The clear zone needs to remain free from obstruction in order to provide drivers with a clear view of approaching motor vehicles, bicycles, and/or pedestrians. Currently, the vertical clear zone is measured from the flow line or edge of pavement, and there is no change proposed to this method of measurement. For intersections that include a collector or arterial street, the lower limit of the clear zone is currently regulated at 36 inches, The lower limit for all other clear zones is 42 inches above the flow line or edge of pavement. There is no change proposed for these lower limits. Currently, the code does not include an illustration of the clear zone; the following is a draft of the diagram proposed to be incorporated in the code: Sight Triangles in Other Communities Range communities. Of the 16 communities surveyed, ten establish an upper limit for the vertical clear zone at 96 inches or higher. Twelve communities clearly state that the sight distance triangle is located along the curb line, flow line or edge of pavement. ZOA-I 1-06 / Sight Triangle s .

ZOA-I 1-06 / Sight Triangle The proposed changes to section 26-603.0.2 of the code will remove the six-foot height requirement for swimming pools and will defer to the International Residential or Building Code, as applicable. Next Steps: Implementation and Enforcement Staff has met with the Forestry Division and with Community Service Of to discuss the implementation and enforcement of the proposed sight triangle standards. Both divisions support the proposed code amendments and agree that the sight distance triangle will be easier to locate in the field and easier to communicate to citizens. inappropriate, so discretion will be used to reasonably enforce the new standard. Code enArcerx-ent-0flicers c6mplaint-basis. In the case of public safety hazards, enforcement will be proactive. If the proposed code amendment is approved, public outreach and education will help to reduce violations—an interdepartmental strategy is proposed to include new informational handouts, an article in the Connections newsletter, and/or a Top of the Hour segment on Channel 8. Ultimately, the purpose of this code amendment is to improve clarity and consistency in the city code. The amendment will align the vertical clear zone with national safety standards and will improve the ability to explain and field locate a sight distance triangle. move to recommena approvM=rie proposea oramance amencling secttU5 26 • the Wheat Ridge code of laws, concerning regulation of the sight distance triangles and swimming pool fences."

ZOA-12-02/Defmition of "occupancy" 0 PUBLIC HEARING El CODE CHANGE ORDINANCE SUMMARY: Case No. ZOA- 12-02 was initiated by the City's Community Services Unit (CSU) in the Police Department with consultation by the City Attorney. The City's CSU is empowered with enforcing the City's nuisance code (weeds, trash, illegal dumping, etc.) and various sections of Chapter 26 (illegal signs, unscreened dumpsters, etc.). One of the enforcement challenges is the determination of the number of occupants that can reside in a single residential unit. The purpose of this code amendment is to aid in the CSU's code enforcement efforts. Because this ordinance involves modifications to Chapter 26 (zoning and development code), it is required to have a public hearing and recommendation by Planning Commission prior to the City Council public hearing for adoption. sm A family shall not include more than one (1) person required to register as a sex offender pursuant to § 18-3-412.5, C.R.S., as amended, unless related by blood, marriage or adoptiol A household that includes four (4) or more persons identified above shall not be excluded from the definition of "family" by the residence in the household of additional necessary persons (and their families) employed in the care and supervision of such handicapped or disabled persons.

The adoption of a single ordinance would facilitate the public's understanding of what is permitted and prohibited as well as facilitate the City's enforcement of the occupancy limits.

Background 2. Overview of Proposed Code Changes 3. Action Requested and Next Steps the impacts of the use. The SUP process typically takes about three months and entails the review of a site plan and, for some uses, also requires review of a traffic study. The City Attorney did find, however, that it is acceptable to require review of a site plan and other necessary documents, such as a traffic study, for a new or expanding public school. Thus staff is recommending that public schools become permitted uses in all zone districts, but that they are required to complete the Site Plan review process (outlined in Section 26-111 of the code). More detail on the proposed changes is included in the section below. E=- 'EIRMW Action Requested and Next Steps Staff would like to receive any input or questions from Planning Commission at the study session on July 19. The next step will be a study session with City Council in the late summer. 19 Staff hopes to present a final ordinance for Planning Commission adoption this fall. Attachments: I .
