Memorandum
TO: Alan White, Director of Planning and Development
FROM: Martin Omer, AICP
SUBJECT: 44"' Industrial PID
DATE: May 14, 1998
I received permission from Tom Hartely to do a site inspection of the 50 acres today. I felt this
was important due to either Terry or Janelle's question on Monday night regarding the Prebles
Mouse. As you know, the Reno Ditch crosses a significant portion of the subject property, which
was flowing the day of my visit. I also observed one small area which had standing water with
vegetation normally indicative of wetland. Attached are two recent newspaper articles
concerning the Prebles mouse and its' habitat. Roger Venables says that Tom Hartley has some
type of permitting (Army Corps?) regarding the wet area. I have a call into Tom regarding this
and our getting a copy of whatever he has on this.

Romer said dealing with declin-
ing and endangered species is a
reality and the state's growth and
economic prosperity have impact-
ed the key habitat and threatened
the status of native wildlife spe-
cies.
"Given this, we have two choic-
es," Romer said. "We can either
face the heavy burden of the regu-
latory act or step up to the plate
and work with Interior to develop
approaches that will protect the
habitat and allow for continued
economic growth."
Romer said much credit is due
to the Colorado Department of
Natural Resources, Division of
Wildlife and Great Outdoors Colo-
rado for money contributed to
searching for the mouse and pro-
tecting its habitat.
He also thanked Rep. David

MEMORANDUM

To: Mayor and City Council ~ t o
a
From: Robert C. Middaugh, City Manager
Subject: HARTLEY ANNEXATION ON 44TH AVE. °OCaRa°°
Date: May 5, 1998
Attached please find a variety of materials relative to the annexation of a 50 acre parcel of property on
44th Avenue immediately to the west of the City's current boundaries.
The Council has had substantial discussion on this particular parcel of property over the various
meetings which have led to this point in the process. As Council is aware, the project is planned to be
developed as a light industrial park under Planned Industrial Development zoning. In the attached
materials, the Council will find a specific list of the uses which will be permitted on this particular
parcel of property as part of the annexation and the zoning that is before Council at the May 11,
meeting.
Based on the City Council's last discussion of this matter, a specific provision has been inserted in the
uses to preclude the development or establishment of a truck stop. The language as presented will
permit a service station but does not allow the servicing of tractor/trailer vehicles at said station. The
language in the uses is also specific to say that any truck related uses in the light industrial park must be
consistent with the current parking and idling restrictions contained within the City of Wheat Ridge
Code of Laws. While this would not limit businesses that would work on tractor/trailer vehicles, it
would limit the number of vehicles that can be parked on the premise to three, and require that any work
be done inside of an enclosed facility, and that the idling restrictions be observed.
Also in the attachments, the City Council will find a copy of an economic analysis undertaken of the
annexation in question. I asked that the analysis deal only with the major points of revenue and expense
attendant to this particular development. As the Council will see, there is a long term advantage to the
community through immediate as well as long term tax return versus services provided and also the spin
off benefit of jobs creation which provides an advantage to residents and other businesses within the
area. Clearly, annexing the parcel of the property is to the advantage of the City of Wheat Ridge and
should be supported and pursued.
Council will note that the following approvals are required by Council in a series of motions relative to
this issue as follows:
1. Establishment of findings of fact for the annexation.
2. Adoption of the annexation ordinance.
3. Adoption of the zoning ordinance and the outline development plan.
A final plan and plat will be prepared and presented for subsequent City Council action at a future
meeting. The final plan was not prepared in sufficient time to present as part of this package. It will
need to be consistent with the provisions in the annexation agreement and the outline development plan
before City Council at the May 11, meeting.
The annexation of the 50 acre parcel of property for light industrial purposes provides a needed and
responsible land use and a clear benefit to the City of Wheat Ridge as presented. It is recommended
that the members of City Council approve the various actions relative to the annexation so that we may
incorporate this parcel of property into the boundaries of the City of Wheat Ridge.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert C. Middaugh '

City of Wheat Ridge
Planning and Development Department
Memorandum
TO: Alan White, Director of Planning and Development
FROM: Martin.Omer, Economic DevelopmEnt Specialist
SUBJECT: Economic Evaluation of 44ih Industrial Park
DATE: May 5, 1998
I have prepared a general economic evaluation of the potential development of lands currently being
considered for annexation to the City of Wheat Ridge. The evaluation consists of three sections,
being general expected REVENUES from the development of the project, general expected COSTS
and financial responsibilities to the city upon the project's completion, and a SUMMARY of costs
compared to revenues.
1. REVENUES:.
The project is expected to include 28 lots which will be developed for light industrial development,
and one lot for retail development. The four types of revenue which can be expected are use tax,
building permit fees, sales tax from any sales occurring within the project area, and property tax
collections.
1. Use Tax
Use tax would be collected on improvements to the property and is calculated as a percentage
of the cost of materials used in construction. Staff estimates that approximately 647,454
square feet of construction can be expected for the light industrial component and 39,792
square feet of construction can be expected for the retail component. Therefore, the total
amount of use tax collected on said amount of building construction and equipment is
estimated at 5354,000.
2. Permit Fees
Building Permit Fees: The Building Division hag estimated that expected permit fees for
buildout of the project will be approximately 5330,000.
Engineering Permit Fees: The Public Works Department has estimated the permit fees for
he rcaBWay, curb, gutter and sidewalk and drainage permits at approximately $10,000.
To`taf one time taxes and fees are estimated at 5694,000.
3. Sales Tax
Sales tax would be generated primarily by the fuel station/convenience store which the
applicant is anticipating for the comer of West 44" Avenue and the internal service road.
The applicant has described the use as a fueling station and a convenience store which may
include fast food and a seating area. Of the five comparable uses located within the city
which I used for calculations, only one has the fast food/seating element, and said business
contributes significantly more sales taxes to the city than the other four comparables. With
this in mind, I present a conservative annual sales tax.figure for the applicant's project at
approximately $12,000 per year. It should also be noted that the anticipated location for the
fuel station/convenience store is larger than the comparable used. Additionally, there will
likely be businesses locating in the project area which have some taxable sales transactions.
Any estimate of additional tax revenues is difficult without detailed information about the
future businesses. I propose that a realistic expectation for all sales tax generated from the
property at project completion is approximately $20,000.
4. Property Tax
In calculating the estimated property tax benefit to the city of this annexation and
development application, I have used comparable projects with similar land use, access and
visibility characteristics. I estimate tax revenue of $6,000 to 58,000 per year to the city upon
project completion.
Ongoing revenue is estimated at $26,000 to 528,000 annually.
If. COSTS
1. Police
The Police Department has stated that the annexation and development of the property would
not cause a significant impact on law enforcement resources. The Police Department reports
that, in general, two drive-throughs of the project per day would be necessary with each drive
through taking approximately ten minutes. The cost for a police officer is approximately
S 100,000 per year. Therefore, an estimated cost for normal police presence is approximately
S 1,400 per year. Adding a contingent amount for service calls, staff estimates a total cost
for police services at approximately $3,500 per year. All police services will be achieved
without the need for additional staff or equipment.
2. Public Works
The Public Works Department has identified two budget areas which would be impacted
with a slight increase to budget line items as,
A. maintaining the project's internal roadway, and
B. maintaining the additional amount of West 44'" Avenue which would be within
the city.
The Director of Public Works has estimated that the cost to provide the additional services
relative to maintaining the internal service roadway and the portion of 44" Avenue annexed
to the city to be approximately $1,000 per year.
Total ongoing costs to the city in servicing the project area are approximately $4,500.

ANX-98-3/WZ-98-8
L REQUEST
This is the second reading of an annexation and zoning request for property located directly adjacent to
the City of Wheat Ridge with approximate address of 13500 West 44`" Avenue. The request is for one
piece of property being considered for annexation in two parcels with corresponding Case Number
ANX-98-3. Should the annexations be approved, the property would then be zoned with one action,
being Case Number WZ-98-8.
In anticipating development of this land, the applicant previously submitted to the County an
application to zone the property for industrial land uses. The County Planning Commission
recommended approval with conditions to the Board of County Commissioners. Upon leaming of this
action, and after determining that the impacts from the development of the property, predominantly
traffic and day time population generation, would largely be upon the City and services therein, City
staff initiated discussions with the property owner to explore the opportunity of annexation of the
property to the City. The property owner was agreeable to the annexation, and the concept was
brought before the City Council, which encouraged the property owner to proceed with the annexation.
The annexation and Outline Development Plan (preliminary zoning) cases were heard by the City
Planning Commission on April 16, 1998. At said hearing, various wording changes were agreed upon
by the Planning Commission and the applicant's representative, followed by a unanimous.
recommendation of approval to City Council. Should the City Council approve the two applications
being heard on today's date, the property will be within the City of Wheat Ridge with a preliminary
zone designation Planned Industrial Development.
Case No. ANX-98-3 is comprised of approximately 51 acres. Due to State of Colorado requirements
for contiguity of land being annexed, the subject property has been divided into two parcels, Parcel 1
and Parcel 2 which are the subject of this annexation. The entire property is currently undeveloped and
is zoned Mineral Conservation by the County which permits mineral and resource mining of the land.
Case No. WZ-98-8 is for approval of the Outline Development Plan (zoning) of the property to
Planned Industrial Development (PID) for land uses similar to although somewhat more restrictive
than those proposed to the County. Exhibit `B' to the Ordinance zoning the entire property (Parcels 1
and 2) is the proposed list of permitted land uses for the property and the Outline Development Plan is
attached to the same Ordinance as Exhibit `C'. The Annexation Agreements are attached as Exhibit
`C' to the Ordinances annexing the parcels. The two agreements are similar except that the 44'
Avenue improvements are included in the agreement for Parcel 1.
Planning Department staff believes that annexing and zoning the property as proposed will best serve
the interests of the City in the following ways:
I. The City receives the regulatory authority over proposed land uses on the property.
2. The City receives the regulatory control over quality of construction and landscaping of
the property.
3. The City's Police Department receives the ability to police the property.
4. Since the City receives the impact of development, it is appropriate that the City also
receive economic benefit from development of the property. Said benefit will more
than offset the cost of providing services.

ANX-98-3/WZ-98-8
II. NEIGHBORHOOD NIEETING
A neighborhood meeting was held on April 7, 1995. The following persons attended:
Martin Omer - Planning staff
Tom Hartley - applicant/representative
Tom Duffy - applicant's real estate agent
Phyllis Lewis - 4475 Eldridge Street - neighbor to the subject property
The following items were discussed:
♦ Circulation plan for 44`h Avenue, access to the property and the internal roadway.
♦ -Internal roadway realignment with the Mount Olivet Cemetery driveway and associated traffic
signal.
♦ Design regulations being proposed within the PID to promote a degree of architectural
uniformity of new buildings.
♦ The number and configuration of the lots proposed for the subdivision.
♦ Time frame for the land development and the anticipated completion of all new construction.
III. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION
ANNEXATION:
The Wheat Ridge Code of Laws does not contain criteria for review of an annexation, but State of
Colorado statutes provide criteria for eligibility for annexations. These criteria are:
1. Not less than one-sixth of the perimeter of the area is contiguous with the boundary of the
annexing municipality.
2. That a community of interest exists between the annexing area and the annexing municipality.
3. The annexing area is urban or will be urban in the near future.
4. The annexing area is integrated with or capable of being integrated with the annexing
municipality.
5. It is necessary and desirable to annex the property.
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:"
Less than 50% of the residents of the area to be annexed make use of part or all of the
following facilities of the municipality: recreational, civic, social, religious, industrial, or
commercial; or less than 25% of the area's adult residents are employed in the municipality.
City Council Page 4
ANX-98-3/WZ-98-8
Z. One-half or more of the land to be annexed is agricultural.
ices which the annexing
3. It is not physically practicable to extend to the area those urban serv
municipality provides to all of its citizens.
Other than the contiguity requirement, these criteria are subjective. Certainly a community of interest
exists, the area is capable of being integrated into the City, and services are able to be extended because
the City is already providing services to businesses and residents directly east of the subject properties.
Development of the property as proposed by the applicant is considered to be urban level development.
It is reasonable to assume that future users of the developed property will make use of the City's
commercial facilities and road infrastructure.
State siatutes 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 and industrial use.
Annexation is a policy decision which rests more on the question of whether the City should annex an area
considering the positive and negative aspects of the annexation than on set criteria. In other words, do the
costs of providing services to the annexing area balance with the revenues anticipated? Can services be
provided in a cost effective manner if nearby development is also served? Is the annexation a logical
extension of the City's boundaries and service provision capabilities? Are there other benefits or
circumstances of annexing that outweigh these considerations? The conclusion of this staff report reflects
staffs belief that ample criteria and findings exist to show the City should annex the subject property.
OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (ZONING):
The property is proposed for Planned Industrial District (PID) zoning and the required Outline
Development Plan is attached. Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate
application for approval of a zone change:
1. That the zoning is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance with the City
of Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies, comprehensive land use
plan and other related policies or plans for the area.
The City of Wheat Ridge has adopted the Jefferson County North Plains Community Plan as the
City's Three Mile Plan. The proposed land use of Planned Industrial is in conformance with the
North Plains Community Plan designation of retail, office and industrial land uses. The existing
Jefferson County zoning is Mineral Conservation and Agricultural Two. Staffs findings are
similar to the County Planning Department's findings in that:
a. The proposal will act as a transitional component between the uses occurring to the north
and south.
City Council Page 5
ANX-98.3/WZ-98-8
b. The 10 acre area to be reserved as native vegetation directly adjacent to and south of
44' Avenue will minimize the impact of the development on the surrounding area.
C. No known commercial mineral deposits exist upon the subject property.
d. The proposal includes criteria for project landscaping and lighting which are similar to or
higher quality than those of the County and those typical of the City light industrial zone.
e. The proposal includes criteria for building setbacks which are similar to the typical setback
criteria found in the City, with the exception of proposed front setbacks. The applicant
proposes minimum front setbacks for buildings facing the project's internal roadway of 30
feet where the standard City front setback is 50 feet. Staff supports the applicant's proposal
since the internal roadway will primarily serve project users, and will therefore not create
a visual impact on other City residents. Proposed criteria for setbacks, landscaping and
lighting are found in Exhibit B of the Ordinance zoning the property.
`e. The proposal includes specific permitted land uses which are more restrictive than those
proposed to the County and also more restrictive than those typical of the City's light
industrial zone district. Staff supports the Applicant's anticipated land uses, which are
fully described in Exhibit B of the Ordinance zoning the property.
That the proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding area and there will be minimal
adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived.
The property is bordered on the south by Highway 58 and on the east by Interstate 70, both
roadways effectively separate the subject property from land uses further to the south and east.
Mount Olivet Cemetery is north of the subject property which land use is not considered
incompatible to the proposed Planned Industrial Development. The property is bordered on the
west by a commercial/industrial transportation business, with which the proposed PID is
considered compatible.
3.
That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the community
derived by the zoning.
The following benefits to the community will be achieved as a result of the proposed annexation
and zoning:
a.
b.
C.
City Council

development.
Economic benefits. The City will collect all applicable taxes generated by the
Physical benefits. The City will gain regulatory control of land uses allowed on the
property.
Social benefits. The land would be within the City's Police Department
jurisdiction.

qtr.
4. That adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the type of uses allowed by the
zoning, or that the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are.
under capacity.
All applicable service agencies (water, sewer, telephone, etc.) can provide service to the property.
The developerofthe property will be required to construct roadway improvements associated with
this development, as well as any site specific drainage facilities.
5. 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.
The applicant has agreed to install development related public improvements designed to mitigate
any possible negative impacts to the public, specifically a deceleration lane and a left turn lane on
44" Avenue, as well as site specific drainage facilities. Specifics regarding the roadway
improvements can be found in the Annexation Agreement which is part of this package.
Additionally, the applicant has agreed to dedicate an additional 10 feet of right-of-way for the south
side of 44'h Avenue in anticipation of possible future road improvement needs.
6. That the property cannot reasonably be developed under the existing zoning conditions.
Development of the property as a planned light industrial park would require rezoning the property
from Mineral Conservation. The County Planning Department has stated that no commercial
mineral deposits exist upon the subject property. Therefore, the zone designation of Planned
Industrial Development, along with corresponding land uses, furthers the determination that PID
zoning is appropriate for the property.
That the zoning will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or
nearby areas.
The Planned Industrial Development zoning will allow the reasonable development of the property
in conformity with the City's Three Mile Plan.
8. That there is a void in an area or community need that the change of zone will fill by
providing for necessary services, products or facilities especially appropriate at the location,
considering available alternatives.
The Planning Department concurs with the applicant that a significant demand for planned light
industrial development exists in this area. Staff believes the subject location is appropriate for said
development in that the development will not create significant negative impacts to adjacent land
uses or property owners.

PLANNING COMMISSION:
At its April 16, 1998 hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended APPROVAL of
the annexations and the zoning to the City Council with recommended conditions of approval. Much
of the discussion centered on semi-tractor trailers. Changes were made to the list of permitted uses to
address these concerns. Staff is recommending deleting one of these changes. In Exhibit B to the
Ordinance zoning the property, Planning Commission recommended inserting the words, "not
including semi-tractor trailer trucks" in the parking sections for Use Areas I and 1-A. Staff has
inserted language int eh list of permitted uses which limits the parking of semi-tractor trailers per City
codes and prohibits truck stops. The reference to semi-tractor trailers in the parking sections then is
not necessary.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff concludes that the proposed annexations meet the state criteria for annexation eligibility, are a
logical extension of the City's boundaries, are able to be served by and are in the best interest of the
City. Staff also finds that a similar albeit somewhat less restrictive zoning proposal was recommended
for approval by the County Planning Department and the County Planning Commission. Therefore,
staff recommends approval of the annexations with associated recommended conditions of approval.
Staff concludes that the proposed Outline Development Plan which represents the preliminary zoning
of the property to Planned Industrial Development, meets the corresponding City criteria and that the
proposed land uses are considered appropriate for the property. No significant negative impacts from
the zoning are anticipated. Staff recommends APPROVAL of the zoning change with associated
recommended conditions of approval.

B. Case No. ANX-98-3 and.Case No. WZ-98-8s An application from Tom Hartley
for approval of an annexation of the area approximately located at 13500 West 44th
Avenue in the county of Jefferson and initial zoning of the area to PID.
The case was presented by Martin Omer who stated that the applicant was requesting
annexation to the City of Wheat Ridge of approximately 51 acres of undeveloped land
located in Jefferson County. He informed that the applicant has requested zoning of Planned
Industrial District with a provision for two acres of commercial/retail land use.
Planning Commission Page 5

Mr. Omer presented an overview of the case. He informed that the Colorado Department of
Transportation property adjacent to the area in question would not be a part of the
annexation; however, the road leading into the CDOT maintenance facility was a part of the
application. The single access into the proposed industrial park would be built according to
City standards, dedicated to the City and would be aligned with the. Mt. Olivet Cemetery
driveway.
Mr. Omer informed that it was staffs conclusion that the annexation is in compliance with
the City's Three Mile Plan. He stated that staff had reviewed the plan for setbacks, heights
of buildings, landscaping and parking criteria and concluded that the plan was generally
similar to the City's light industrial zone criteria. He presented an additional condition of
approval that was not contained in the staff report which would require a minimum setback
of fifty feet from any buildings on 44th Avenue, rather than the thirty feet presently
contained in the zoning requirements. He informed that the applicant was in agreement with
this condition.
Mr. Omer reviewed results of agency referrals as well as a neighborhood meeting conducted
by staff in conjunction with the applicant. He reviewed staffs findings which supported
recommendation for approval of the annexation. In conclusion, he informed that staff
recommended approval; that all notification and posting requirements had been met; and
therefore, there was jurisdiction to hear the case.
Discussion followed. Chair THOMPSON expressed concern about the possibility of semi-
tractor trailer storage, expansion of the semi-truck stop, or semi-truck repair business
occurring in the light industrial park,
Commissioner SNOW expressed concern about the high percentage of blue grass contained
in landscaping plan as well as the impact of the Tabor Amendment on revenue generated by
the industrial park.
Commissioner THOMPSON expressed concern about having only one fire access point.
Mr. Omer explained that the Fire Department placed a stipulation on its approval of the
single access to require all buildings to be equipped with fire sprinklers.
Commissioner BRINKMAN expressed concern about communication towers being placed
on the highest elevation of the property.

annexation and rezoning. He informed that the property is planned to be developed as light
industrial with the exception of a parcel in the northeastern portion of the property next to
the access road which would be a possible retail site for a convenience store and gas station.
Mr. Hartley stated that there have never been plans for any truck stop related activities;
however, as an industrial park there would be semi's serving various businesses in the park.
He informed that the road was designed to accommodate semi-tractor trailers and featured a
cul-de-sac at the end which would allow the trucks to turn around without having to back up. He addressed traffic impact at the park entrance and informed that the entrance would be
designed according to recommendations of the traffic consultant. He noted that the road
would be widened and have one lane for Mt. Olivet traffic, one for the industrial park, and
one center lane for through traffic.
Mr. Hartley responded to concerns about fire access and informed that the buildings will be
required to have sprinkler systems because of the extreme difficulty in constructing another
access into the park. He stated that the communication tower could be eliminated from the
highest portion of the property. He also noted that gravel on the property had been mined
and removed over thirty years ago.
Commissioner BRINKMAN requested that no firearms sales or gun ranges be allowed on
the property. Mr. Hartley replied that those uses had never been considered for the property.
Chair THOMPSON asked if there were any.individuals present who wished to address the
Commission. There was no response.
It was moved by Commissioner SNOW and seconded by Commissioner SHOCKLEY to
recommend that the City Cougcil APPROVE Case No. ANX-98-3, annexing to the City of
Wheat Ridge unincorporated territory known as 44th Industrial Park, Parcel 1, generally
located south of 44th Avenue, north of Highway 58, west of Interstate 70 and east of
Eldridge Street with an approximate address of 13500 West 44th Avenue, County of
Jefferson, as legally described in Exhibit "A" for the following reasons:
The annexation meets the state criteria for annexation eligibility.
2. The annexation will be a logical extension of the City's boundaries.
3. The annexation will allow the city to gain regulatory control of the development and
usage of the subject property.
With the following conditions:
Planning Commission Page 7
04/16/98
The City Council shall call an election to ask the voters to decide whether the City
can keep additional revenues generated by development on the annexed property.
Should the southwest corner of 44th Avenue and the interior roadway be developed
as a retail or commercial use, the property owner shall have prepared a traffic impact
analysis acceptable to the City Department of Public Works which addresses the

JURISDICTION:
All notification and posting requirements have been met, therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case.
I. REQUEST
This is an annexation and zoning request for property located directly adjacent to the City of Wheat Ridge
approximately located at 13500 West 44" Avenue. The request is for two parcels of property being considered
for annexation with corresponding Case Number ANX-98-3. Should the annexations be approved, the parcels
could then be zoned with one action, being Case Nos. WZ-98-8.
In anticipating development of his land, the property owner previously submitted to the County an application
to zone the property for industrial land uses. The County Planning Commission recommended approval with
conditions to the Board of County Commissioners. Upon learning of this action, and after determining that the
impacts from the development of the property, predominantly traffic and day time population generation, would
largely be upon the City and services therein, City staff initiated discussions with the property owner to explore
the opportunity of annexation of the property to the City. The property owner was agreeable to the. annexation,
and the concept was brought before the City Council which unanimously approved a non-binding referendum
to encourage the property owner to proceed with the annexation. Case No. ANX-98-3 relates to two parcels, with
a combined area of approximately 51 acres. Due to State of Colorado requirements for contiguity of land being
annexed, the subject property has been divided into two parcels, Parcel 1 and Parcel 2. These parcels are the
subject of this Annexation Case No. ANX- 98-3. The entire property is currently undeveloped and is zoned
Mineral Conservation by the County which permits mineral and resource mining of the land. Exhibit `A' is the
legal description of the properties proposed for annexation.
Case No. WZ-98-8 is for the zoning of the property to Planned Industrial Development (PID) for land uses
similar to although somewhat more restrictive than those proposed to the County. Exhibit `C' is the legal
description of the properties proposed for zoning. Exhibit `B' is the proposed list of permitted land uses for the
property.
Planning Department staff believes that annexing and zoning the property as proposed will best serve the interests
of the City in the following ways:
1. The City receives the regulatory authority over proposed land uses on the property.
2. The City receives the regulatory control over quality of construction and landscaping of the property.
3. The City's Police Department receives the ability to police the property.
4. The City receives an economic benefit of the property development which will offset the cost of wear
and tear incurred by the development on City infrastructure.
II. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
A neighborhood meeting was held on April 7, 1998. The following persons attended:
Martin Omer - Planning staff
Tom Hartley - owner
Tom Duffy - owner's real estate agent
Phyllis Lewis - 4475 Eldridge Street - neighbor to the subject property
The following items were discussed:
♦ Circulation plan for 44`h Avenue, access to the property and the internal roadway
♦ Internal roadway realignment with the Mount Olivet Cemetery driveway and associated traffic signal
♦ Design regulations being proposed within the PID to promote a degree of architectural uniformity of new
buildings
♦ The number and configuration of the lots proposed for the subdivision.
♦ Time frame for the land development and the anticipated completion of all new construction
III. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION
ANNEXATION:
The Wheat Ridge Code of Laws does not contain criteria for review of an annexation, but State of Colorado
statutes provide criteria for eligibility for annexations. These criteria are:
Not less than one-sixth of the perimeter of the area is contiguous with the boundary of the annexing
municipality.
2. That a community of interest exists between the annexing area and the annexing municipality.
3. The annexing area is urban or will be urban in the near future.
4. The annexing area is integrated with or capable of being integrated with the annexing municipality.
5. It is necessary and desirable to annex the property.
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:"
Less than 50% of the residents of the area to be annexed make use of part or all of the following facilities .
of the municipality: recreational, civic, social, religious, industrial, or commercial; or less than 25% of
the area's adult residents are employed in the municipality.
2. One-half or more of the land to be annexed is agricultural.
3. It is not physically practicable to extend to the area those urban services which the annexing municipality
provides to all of its citizens.
Other than the contiguity requirement, these criteria are subjective. Certainly a community of interest exists, the
area is capable of being integrated into the City, and services are able to be extended because the City is already
providing services to businesses and residents directly east of the subject, properties. Development of the
property as proposed by the applicant is considered to be urban level development. It is reasonable to assume
that future users of the developed property will make use of the City's commercial facilities and road
infrastructure.
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 and
industrial use.
Annexation is a policy decision which rests more on the question of whether the City should annex an area
considering the positive and negative aspects of the annexation than on set criteria. In other words, do the costs
of providing services to the annexing area balance with the revenues anticipated? Can services be provided in
a cost effective manner if nearby development is also served? Is the annexation a logical extension of the City's
boundaries and service provision capabilities? Are there other benefits or circumstances of annexing that
outweigh these considerations? The conclusion of this staff report reflects staff's belief that ample criteria and
findings exist to show the City should annex the subject property.
ZONING:
Exhibit `C' is the legal description of the property proposed for zoning. Staff has the following comments
regarding the criteria used to evaluate a zone change or approval.
1. That the zoning is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance with the City of
Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies, comprehensive land use plan and
other related policies or plans for the area.
The City of Wheat Ridge has adopted the Jefferson County North Plains Community Plan as the
City's Three Mile Plan. The proposed land use of Planned Industrial is in conformance with the
North Plains. Community Plan designation of retail, office and industrial land uses. The existing
Jefferson County zoning is Mineral Conservation and Agricultural Two. Staff s findings are similar to
the County Planning Department's findings in that:
a. The proposal will act as a transitional component between the uses occurring to the north and
south.
b. The 10 acre area to be reserved as native vegetation directly adjacent to and south of 44"
Avenue will minimize the impact of the development on the surrounding area.
C. No known commercial mineral deposits exist upon the subject property.
d. The proposal includes criteria for project landscaping and lighting which are similar to or higher
quality than those of the County and those typical of the City light industrial zone.
e. The proposal includes criteria for building setbacks which are similar to the typical setback
criteria found in the City, with the exception of proposed front setbacks. The applicant proposes
minimum front setbacks for buildings facing the project's internal roadway of 30 feet where the
standard City front setback is 50 feet. Staff supports the applicant's proposal since the internal
roadway will primarily serve project users, and will therefore not create a visual impact on other
City residents. Proposed criteria for setbacks,.landscaping and lighting are found in Exhibit B.
The proposal includes specific permitted land uses which are more restrictive thanthose proposed
to the County and also more restrictive than those typical of the City's light industrial zone
district. Staff supports the Applicant's anticipated land uses, which are fully described in Exhibit
B.
2. That the proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding area and there will be minimal
adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived.
The property is bordered on the south by Highway 58 and on the east by Interstate 70, both roadways
effectively separate the subject property from land uses further to the south and east. Mount Olivet
Cemetery is north of the subject property which land use is not considered incompatible to the proposed
Planned Industrial Development. The property is bordered on the west by a commercial/industrial
transportation business, with which the proposed PID is considered compatible.
That therewill be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the community derived
by the zoning.
The following benefits to the community will be achieved as a result of the proposed annexation and
zoning:
a. Economic benefits. The City will collect all applicable taxes generated by the development.
b. Physical benefits. The City will gain regulatory control of land uses allowed on the property.
c. Social benefits. The land would be within the City's Police Department jurisdiction.
4. That adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the type of uses allowed by thezoning,
or that the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity.
All applicable service agencies (water, sewer, telephone, etc.) can provide service to the property. The
developer of the property will be required to construct roadway improvements associated with this
development, as well as any site specific drainage facilities.
5. 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.
The applicant has agreed to install development related public improvements designed to mitigate any
possible negative impacts to the public, specifically a deceleration lane and a left turn lane on 44'
Avenue, as well as site specific drainage facilities. Specifics regarding the roadway improvements can
be found in the Annexation Agreement which is part of this package. Additionally, the applicant has
agreed to dedicate an additional 10 feet of right-of-way for the south side of 44" Avenue in anticipation
of possible future road improvement needs.
6. That the property cannot reasonably be developed under the existing zoning conditions.
Development of the property as a planned light industrial park would require rezoning the property from
Mineral Conservation. The County Planning Department has stated that no commercial mineral deposits
exist upon the subject property. Therefore, the zone designation of Planned Industrial Development,
along with corresponding land uses, furthers the determination that PID zoning is appropriate for the
property.
7. That the zoning will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or nearby
areas.
The Planned Industrial Development zoning will allow the reasonable development of the property in
conformity with the City's Three Mile Plan.
8. That there is a void in an area or community need that the change of zone will fill by providing for
necessary services, products or facilities especially appropriate at the location, considering
available alternatives.
The Planning Department concurs with the applicant that there is a significant demand for planned light
industrial development in this area. Staff believes that the subject location is appropriate for said
development in that the development will not negatively impact adjacent land uses or property owners.
IV. AGENCY REFERRALS
Responding With Concerns:

that these bearings fit our coordinate base. Please call our office for this information.
2. Please return all red-lined prints with the second submittal.
Prospect Recreation District:
a.
In a letter dated April 2, 1998, the Recreation district expressed its concern that the loss of
taxation authority over the subject property or any property currently within the District, would
jeopardize the economic viability of the District. In a previous letter to the Recreation District
dated March 11, 1998, Wheat Ridge Director of Planning and Development Director, Alan White,
advised that leaving the subject properties within. the District after the completion of the
property's annexation to the City would create a situation of overlapping services and taxation
on the property. The Planning and Development Director requested that the Recreation District
boundaries be revised to exclude the properties which are the subject of the annexation action,
which request remains unchanged:

Staff concludes that the proposed annexation meets the state criteria for annexation eligibility, is a logical
extension of the City's boundaries, is able to be served by and is in the best interest of the City. Staff also finds
that a similar albeit somewhat less restrictive zoning proposal was recommended for approval by the County
Planning Department and the County Planning Commission. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the
annexation.
Staff concludes that the proposed zoning of the property to Planned Industrial Development meets the
corresponding City criteria and the proposed land uses are considered appropriate for the property. No significant
negative impacts from the zoning are anticipated. Staff recommends approval of the zoning change with.
associated conditions of approval.
