HomeMy WebLinkAboutWZ-99-037500 West 29th Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80215 FAX 303/235 -2857 February 9, 2000 Maury Fox 4465 Mpling Street Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 Dear Maury: The City of Wheat RidA This letter is in regard to your pending application for rezoning of three parcels of land located at the southwest corner of West 44 Avenue and Tabor Street. The northern two parcels have unrestricted C -1 uses and the southern parcel has C -1 with use limitations. The application would be to rezone and consolidate all of the parcels into a unified Planned Commercial Development to allow the display, storage, rental and sales of recreational vehicles. Staff has reviewed the submitted preliminary site plan and has the following comments: 1. The landscaped strip along the western property line has been increased from 15' in width to 20' 2. An approximate 40'x 50' addition is being shown on the eastern side of the existing structure leaving a 30' setback adjacent to Tabor Street. Tabor Street is currently substandard in width being only 10' wide from centerline where 25' is required. The City's Public Works Department will not support the design as shown and will require a 15' right -of -way dedication in addition to the 30' required setback. 3. A building on the northwest parcel has been eliminated and replaced with inventory and customer parking. Landscaping in this area is replaced with pavement. 4. The six foot high chainlink fence running along the western property has been replaced with a six foot high solid wooden fence. 5. In the prior staff analysis, it was concluded that there was inadequate buffering for adjacent low density and passive recreational uses. Can the buffers along the south and east sides be increased to the width specified as setback areas (30' on east and 15' on the south).? 6. Other items of concern raised by Planning Commission regarding the prior application which should be incorporated into the development plan include the type of paging system used, whether banners and flags are allowed on the property, no future buildings be allowed on southern parcel, no RV's be allowed along the southern and eastern property lines and only boat storage be allowed in these locations, no storage of automobiles be allowed, adequate circulation be provided, site lighting be used which is not obtrusive to adjacent low intensity uses, landscaping being placed along the west side of the fence adjacent to the greenbelt, either paving or a clean class 6 road base be used in the storage /sales lot, no propane be allowed. on the property. 7. The Comprehensive Plan which was not adopted when the last application was considered by Planning Commission designates future desirable land use as Community Commercial Service/ Employment Center on the northern one -third of the property and Single Family (up to five dwelling units per acre) on the southern two- thirds. This application will not be consistent with the Comp Plan. 8. Because this will be an application for planned development the requirements of Section 26- 25 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws must be met. This would include a freestanding outline plan document which establishes general design and use parameters, final development plan including information regarding signage, building elevations and a revised drainage report and a plat document which will consolidate the three parcels into one. Please refer to the appropriate code section which details what is required for each document. 9. Pursuant to Section 26- 26- 6(F)(1), a pre - application neighborhood meeting needs to be held prior to the application being submitted. Earlier this week, an application for a building permit was submitted which is different than the plan you provided as it shows the building addition occurring around the existing building (on the east, west and south sides). The proposed setback shown on the east side of the building is 45'. The building appears to be of pre- fabricated metal with a stucco finish applied to the front (north) elevation. Although not disallowed by code, the use of these materials could set a negative precedent regarding the rest of the property and could affect the outcome of the rezoning application. Should we proceed with review of the permit knowing it could affect your rezoning application? In addition, there seem to be a fair number owners' representatives involved with the property which has made it awkward for staff. We would ask in the future that one primary contact person be used to avoid the confusion. Finally, staff has been given a directive which prohibits attendance at meetings where there are. attorneys present unless the city attorney is also in attendance. This applies to not only public hearings, but neighborhood meetings and informal consultation meetings. If you act as the primary contact for the case, it could lengthen the process substantially. Knowing this, please advise me as to how you would like to proceed.. If you have questions concerning any of the above, feel free to contact me at 303 - 235 -2848 Sincerely, Meredith Reckert, AICP Senior Planner CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: December 20, 1999 Page - 2 - Item 2.

Mr. Sach owns properties addressed at 11800, 11808 and 11880 W. 44 11, Avenue. The properties addressed as 11800 and 11808 W. 40 Avenue which directly abut W. 44"' Avenue are zoned unrestricted Commercial -One. The property to the rear addressed as 11808 W. 44` Avenue is zoned Commercial -One however, pursuant to rezoning action in 1993, the only use allowed is recreational vehicle storage. Earlier this year, the owner applied for a rezoning to expand the use restrictions on the rear parcel to allow RV sales in addition to the storage. A public hearing was held at Planning Commission on April 1, 1999. The request was denied for the following reasons: The adjacent commercial zoning to the east extends 300 feet south and this request is to extend the full commercial use 500 feet to the south. There has been no change in the character of the neighborhood which justifies increasing the encroachment of a more intense commercial use south 500 feet into a residential and agricultural area. 2. The property was originally zoned to C -1 for storage upon representation by the owner that this would be an interim use only with nominal landscaping and buffering. 3. The requested change in use is inconsistent with both the previous and current future land use map and is also inconsistent with the Fruitdale Master Plan all of which show residential uses on the southern part of the property. Any proposed change in use should respect the city's intent that the southern part of the property is intended to be residential. 4. The proposed change of zone to the southern portion of the property is incompatible with the residential and agricultural properties to the east and south of the property and with the green belt area to the south. 5. The change of use would provide little economic benefit to the city because sales tax revenues generated by RV's go to the city where the purchaser lives, not to the City of Wheat Ridge. The applicant appealed the denial by Planning Commission to City Council but postponed scheduling and requested a temporary use permit from the Board of Adjustment in May to allow the temporary RV sales. His request was approved for one year. The applicant has now requested scheduling for public.hearing in front of City Council and has been tentatively scheduled for first reading on October 25, 1999, with the public hearing on November 22. In regard to Mr. Mancinelli's specific questions, I have the following responses: Why can't he have all 3 pieces of property under one address? He can but the city would require a consolidation plat to aggregate the three parcels into one. This could be a problem with the rear parcel because of the restricted C -1 zoning. Because zoning on the rear parcel is different from zoning on the front two parcels, it should remain a separate piece. Also, our regulations allow only one building per parcel which is inconsistent with what the owner is proposing (IE, multiple buildings) 2. Why can't he develop all three pieces of C -1 zoned ground as if they were one property? Because the rear (southern) parcel has specific use limitations that the front parcels don't. A rezoning process is required to add new uses to the one use (RV storage) allowed. Why can't he move his temporary building further into the center of his property, near the utility pole? I don't know where the utility pole is located. I would have to see a specific site plan. There is a 25' wide ingress /egress easement for access to the rear parcel on the east part of the western parcel which must be taken into consideration.

FROM: RALPH MANCINELLI District II NUMBER OF PAGES 1 (INCLUDING THIS SHEET) IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ALL PAGES, PLEASE CALL ME IMMEDIATELY AT THE FOLLOWING NUMBER: 303- 425 -7383. REMARKS: "HARI SACH of 11808 W. 44TH AVENUE" Dear Alan: This is only for information, 11800 West 44th Avenue is zoned C -1, so is 11808 and 11880. A11 three of these properties are owned by the above individual. I was asked these questions, 1- Why cant tie have all 3 pieces of property under one common address, preferable (11808 West 44th Avenue)? 2- Why cant he develop all 3 pieces of C -1 zoned ground as if they were one property? 3- Why cant he move his temporary building further into the center of his property, near the utility pole? (A) If he is successful in moving his temporary building, he then wants to build a service area where his now existing, temporary building stands. ThanKs. Respectfully / Ralph Mancinelli City of Wheat Ridge Planning and Development Department Memorandum TO: Roy Wooten FROM: Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner SUBJECT: 11808W. 44 Avenue DATE: September 13, 1999 This memorandum is in regard to the building permit application for C -1 zoned property located at 11808 W. 44` Avenue. The site plan proposes a 2700 square foot addition to an existing building. The proposed addition would be located 27.4' from the existing Tabor Street right -of- way line and 50' from the W. 44` Avenue right -of -way line. The existing building is roughly 1926 square feet in size with the property being 17,500 square feet. There are several concerns with the proposal detailed below which need to be resolved prior to the issuance of a building permit: 1. Setback The C -1 zone district regulations require a sideyard setback to be 30' where 27.4' is shown. 2. Street Dedication for Tabor Street Tabor Street right -of -way is substandard with the City's standard section for a local street being 10' wide from centerline where 25' is required. Because of the proximity of the proposed addition to the existing right -of -way line, the Public Works Department is concerned regarding potential future street widening and is requesting a 15' right -of -way dedication. If the City were to issue a permit with a 30' setback and no dedication, upon street widening, the building would be setback 5' from the right -of -way line. This would be a hazardous situation for you as the property owner as well as the traveling public. The City would consider accepting a larger building setback of 45' from existing property line in lieu of right -of -way dedication. When the street is widened, the building would be setback 30' as required by code. Landscaping It appears that the property is currently substandard relative to the City's requirements for commercial landscaping. The regulations require that with new commercial construction, a minimum of 10% of the total lot area be landscaped with street trees installed at a rate of one tree for every 30' of street frontage. In addition, one more tree or shrub is required for every 1000 square feet of lot area. When an addition is proposed on a non - conforming lot, the City can require the installation of landscaping proportionate to the increase in building area. Because a 100% increase in building area is being requested, the City will require conformance with the standards specified above if the property doesn't already meet the standard. No landscape plan was submitted, therefore, it is impossible for us to evaluate what landscaping is currently on the property and how much more will be required.. 4. Drainage The Public Works Department is requesting submission of a drainage plan and report including an erosion control plan. Portable Building The plan shows the portable building being relocated onto Parcel `C'. Relocation of the building onto the rear parcel would violate the current zoning conditions on the property, as well as the approved Temporary Use Permit. The current location shown on the plan is in the middle of the access easement for the three properties. Please let me know how you intend on resolving these issues. I can be reached at 303 - 235 -2848.

ATTACHMENT 1 L REQUEST/CASE HISTORY The applicant requests approval of a change of zoning conditions on property located at 11808 W. 44' Avenue. Current zoning on the property is C-1 with use restrictions (RV/boat storage as the single allowed land use). The applicant requests a change of zoning conditions to allow RV sales on the property in addition to the storage. Because the property is located within the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan, a site plan for development is required with the zoning request. Pursuant to Section 26- 6 (C)(1)(b), the rezoning process is to be followed when "changing of the conditions of an existing zone district where those conditions were specifically established by a previous rezoning ordinance." In 1993, Ordinance 921 was approved by the Wheat Ridge City Council which approved a rezoning of properties located at 11800 (Parcel A), 11808 (Parcel B) and 11880 (Parcel C) West 44m Avenue from Restricted-Commercial and Agricultural-One to Commercial-One. Conditions of approval were as follows: 1. A type I site plan shall be prepared for submittal to be recorded at Jefferson County. 2. An easement to allow ingress and egress for all parcels along the main entrance between Parcels A and C shall be prepared and submitted with the Type I site plan, in a form that can be recorded at Jefferson county. 3. If any ditch or laterals have or will be moved, easements allowing their continued use and maintenance shall also be submitted. 4. A decorative wood or block fence shall be erected along the north, south and east property lines of Parcel B. 5. The landscaping shall be in accordance with the attached landscape plan or at least in accordance with Section 26-32(D)(3). 6. All curb cuts along W. 44' Avenue and Tabor Street shall be closed with the exception of the main entrance between Parcels A and C. 7. Only recreational vehicle storage on a water-permeable surface will be allowed on Parcel B. Attached under Exhibit A is the site plan approved for the property. Attached under Exhibits B and C are minutes from Planning Commission and City Council pubic hearings for Case No. WZ-92-12. Staff would note that the under the current zoning conditions, the property can remain "as is" indefinitely with the existing use restrictions and site improvements. With the request for the change of zoning conditions, Staff has the opportunity to assess the requested use change and existing site characteristics. IL NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING A meeting for neighborhood input was held on December 8, 1998. The following persons were in attendance: Planning Commission: WZ-99-03/Thompson Page 2 April 1, 1999 Meredith Reckert - city staff Sandy Thompson - applicant Hari Sach - owner Doris Meakins - 4340 Tabor Street Keith Meakins - 4340 Tabor Street Diane Tipton - 4311 Tabor Street George Isquith - 4350 Tabor Street Mike Koeltzow - 4291 Tabor Street The following concerns were expressed: ♦ How many vehicles can be accommodated on the lot? Currently, 171. ♦ Whether open-ended C-1 would be requested or just the one additional use (sales). ♦ Why aren't service bays located on parcel C? ♦ Whether there would be access to the irrigation ditch running along the southern and western sides. ♦ How many different RV manufacturers would be used? Three. ♦ How many different models would be kept on the property? 30 to 40. ♦ Whether the chain-link fence on the west side be made solid. ♦ What would be used for surfacing? ♦ Any new lighting proposed? ♦ Whether the sign could be shut-off at night? The owner offered to put it on a timer, shutting off at 10 p.m. ♦ Will another fire hydrant be required? ♦ What will be the effect on ground water? III. AGENCY REFERRALS Parks and Recreation Commission has requested a 6' high solid wood fence along the west property line set inside the property with a landscaping strip with extensive evergreen plantings (including pines and spruce) on the west side of the fence to be maintained by the developer. On-site lighting should be done in such a way as to not interfere with the enjoyment of open space or disturbing the wildlife. Public Works has requested that the lot be resurfaced with a clean Class 6 roadbase material. Recycled asphalt will not be allowed in order to minimize environmental concerns regarding groundwater, surface water and the change in surface imperviousness. No additional public improvements or widening will be required on either 44th Avenue or Tabor St. A new drainage report is not required. Arvada Fire Protection District can service the property with the existing hydrants on Tabor Street. Tabor Street has adequate width for the secondary access for use by the district's mini-pumper and does not need to be widened. Valley Water District has lines already in place to serve the property. Planning Commission: WZ-99-03/Thompson rage i April 1, 1999 IV. REZONING CRITERIA The original zoning approval on the property limited use of Parcel B (11808 W. 44`h Avenue) to recreational vehicle storage. There were no use limitations on the two properties along West 44th Avenue (Parcels A and Q. In order for Parcel B to be used for RV storage and sales, the condition allowing only storage needs to be changed. This could be done in either of two ways: 1) remove the restriction of RV storage and allow all C-1 uses; or 2) keep the restriction of RV storage and allow the one new use (RV sales). From a staff perspective, not all C-1 uses are appropriate at this location considering adjacent residential properties to the south and east. However, a zone classification restricted to one or two uses is hard to administer. In the original hearing of Case No. WZ-92-12, staff had given City Council the option of rezoning to RC with a special use permit for the RV storage. When the property was rezoned, a site plan was required as part of the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan. A revised site plan has been submitted for review as Exhibit D with staff discussion under section V. of this report. Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a change in zoning or change of zoning conditions: 1. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error. There are no errors on the City zoning map: The property was rezoned to C-1 with use restrictions in 1992. 2. A change in the character in the area has occurred due to the installation of public facilities, other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration or development transitions. The West 44`h Avenue corridor continues to develop commercially, replacing small homes on commercially zoned land or redeveloping existing businesses which aren't developed to their full potential. The C-1 zones abutting the subject site extends 300' south from 44`h Avenue versus the 500' depth on this property. The majority of the commercial properties along 44`h Avenue have open ended C-1. 3. That 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, comprehensive land use plan and other related policies or plans for the area. The existing Comprehensive Plan future land use map designates the property as multiple use on the north half and medium density residential on the south. Multiple use is defined as "a mix of residential, office and/or retail commercial uses, and parks and open space, and public/semi-public uses, to be developed in a manner which insures compatibility between Planning Commission: WZ-99-03/Thompson Page 4 April 1, 1999 uses within multiple use areas and adjacent uses, especially where adjacent to low density residential uses. Industrial uses are specifically prohibited." The Fruitdale Valley Master Plan designates the property as neighborhood commercial on the north and moderate density residential on the south. In the 1992 staff report, staff supported the rezoning to allow the RV storage lot as they felt it could fill a neighborhood need. This need was exacerbated by the fact that the City was considering an ordinance prohibiting RV parking on-street and that the RV storage lot was to be an interim use. Typically, the type of businesses allowed in unrestricted C-I zoning serve the region in addition to just the immediate neighborhood. If the Planning Commission approves a change of conditions for the property, staff recommends that the one additional use (RV sales) be allowed and not open-ended C-1. The applicant concurs with the single new use concept. The proposed comprehensive plan designates desirable land use as Community Commercial Service/Employment Center on the northern one-third of the property and Single-Family (up to five dwelling units per acre) on the southern two thirds. Staff concludes that the existing zoning and proposed change of conditions are inconsistent with the existing and proposed comprehensive plan designations on the southern part of the property. Pursuant to Section 2-61(c) of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, "If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation for approval of a change to a zoning district which differs significantly from the comprehensive plan, the Planning Commission shall also make a recommendation for amendment of the comprehensive plan so the proposed zoning change shall fit compatibly into the overall planning concept of the city." Also per Section 2-61(f), when a "rezoning is denied, amendment of the comprehensive plan shall be considered" if the zone change is denied based on incompatibility with the comprehensive plan. At the time of original zone approval, the existing classifications of Multiple Land Use and Moderate Density Residential were in place. Therefore, the change of zone to C-I was inconsistent with the comprehensive plan designation for the south half of the property. Based on the duties and powers of the Planning Commission spelled out in the code of laws, logic would follow that a change should have been considered for amendment to the comprehensive plan map showing either a multiple use or commercial designation on the entire site. Staff believes that the zone change was approved based on testimony from both the owner/applicant and city staff that the RV storage was to be considered an interim use with minimal buffering installed. Upon submittal of a development plan for permanent use of the site, the transition between adjacent land uses would be reassessed. Once permanent land use and zoning was established, a change to the comprehensive plan map would be made. 4. That the proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will be minimal adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived. Planning Commission: WZ-99-03/Thompson Page 5 April 1, 1999 Zoning and land use surrounding the property include A-1 zoning with low density residential land use to the south. The land east of the property is zoned C-1 and utilized as a fence company and low density residential land use zoned A-1. Abutting the property to the west is the existing J.W. Brewer tire servicing facility with C-1 and C-2 zoning, as well as the A-1 zoned Coors-owned property leased to the City as open space. Although the C-1 zoning is already in place, staff believes that the property is not appropriately developed for permanent usage as RV storage and sales. To achieve compatibility with the adjacent low density and passive recreation uses substantial buffering through the use of upgraded fencing and landscaping should be required. 5. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone. There will be direct economic benefits to the City as sales tax revenues generated when a person living in Wheat Ridge purchases an RV from this location. Sales tax generated from vehicle sales is received by the entity where the buyer resides and licenses the vehicle. Sales tax is collected from both vehicle rentals and vehicle storage where the lot is located. 6. That 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. Any utility upgrades required can be provided to the property at the owner's expense. That the proposed rezoning 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. Since there are no major changes proposed to the property (i.e., no buildings proposed), there should be no resultant drainage problems or reductions of light and air to adjacent properties. There could be some changes to the types and quantities of traffic to and from the site. 8. That the property cannot reasonably be developed under the existing zoning conditions. The property is currently being used for RV and boat storage. However, because the storage lot was considered an interim use at the time of rezoning, there is minimal landscaping and buffering provided on site. Conversion of the property into a permanent sales and storage lot should be allowed only with mitigation to adjacent low impact land uses. 9. That the zoning will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas. Spot zoning is not an issue. Planning Commission: WZ-99-03/Thompson Page 6 April 1, 1999 10. 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. It is impossible for staff to ascertain whether the change of zoning conditions will fill a void in services, products or facilities. There are two RV sales lots in the City (Ketelsen Campers and Casey's), one specialized servicing facility (Camper World) with another ready to be built and numerous storage lots. V. SITE PLAN The Fruitdale Valley Master Plan requires site plan approval with zone changes to ensure integration and compatibility of " the proposed development with adjacent properties including methods to mitigate potential negative impacts on residential properties." The comprehensive plan also calls for site plan approval with zone changes for properties designated Multiple Use. As such, "authority is specifically reserved to Planning Commission and City Council to limit uses and to require additional design or development standards within a multiple use area so as to achieve the stated compatibility objectives." See section IV. of this report for discussion of comprehensive plan objectives. The property owner's land is comprised of three parcels. Parcel A (11800 W. 44`h Avenue) is an old service station which was recently remodeled into an RV sales and service facility. Parcel C has on it an existing vehicle repair facility and small office for the storage lot. Access to Parcel B is obtained through a single curb cut and easement across Parcel C. The property owner will eventually demolish the existing car repair building and replace it with an RV service facility in accordance with the attached site plan. There are no site plan or use restrictions on Parcels A and C. Neither Parcel A or C is subject to the existing application. Parcel B is the existing RV/boat storage lot. It is surfaced with reconstituted asphalt and is surrounded with C high fencing. Fencing along the north is chain-link with mesh screening, on the east is solid wood with brick pillars, along the west is chain-link, along the south is solid wood. A landscaped strip from five to fifteen feet wide planted with trees runs along the inside of the fences along the east, south and west. The owner is proposing minimal changes to the site plan (Exhibit D with narrative) with the exception of the addition of wooden slats in the existing fence along the western property line to provide buffering for the city open space. The original zoning proposal was approved on the premise that the RV storage lot was an interim land use. Based on the temporary nature of the use the former owner proposed, and was approved for, only minimal landscaping areas along property perimeters. Because of the request for the change of zoning conditions, staff has the ability to reassess the development especially in regard to the transition between adjacent land uses. Staff concludes that buffering as proposed is inadequate for the adjacent low intensity uses on the south half of the property along the eastern, southern and western boundaries. Planning Commission: WZ-99-03/Thompson Page 7 April 1, 1999 VI. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff has concluded that the property was rezoned and improved in 1992 with use restrictions as an interim development scenario. Because it was intended for the property to be more extensively developed at some point in the future, minimal landscaping and buffering was required. For the property to be converted to a permanent use as RV storage and sales lot, protection of adjacent low intensity land uses is essential. The site plan submitted proposes no changes to the property and is therefore inadequate as a permanent development scenario. Without intensive buffering along the eastern, southern and western boundaries, Staff will not support the additional allowed use of RV sales. For these reasons a recommendation of Denial is given for both the site plan and proposed changed zoning conditions. Staff would support the change of conditions to add RV sales as an allowed use if the site plan is amended with intensive landscaping (both horizontal and vertical) and upgraded fencing. VII. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS Option A: "I move that Case No. WZ-99-03, a request for a change of zoning conditions on C-1 zoned land located at 11808 West 44th Avenue, be DENIED for the following reasons: 1. The property was originally zoned and developed as an interim land use with minimal landscaping and buffering. 2. The property is abutted on the east and south by single family residences and by City open space on the west. 3. The site plan submitted proposes no changes to the property and is inadequate as a permanent development scenario." Option B: "I move that Case No., a request for a change of zoning conditions on C-1 zoned land located at 11808 West 44`h Avenue, be recommended to the City Council for APPROVAL for the following reasons: A change of zoning conditions is required to allow the sales of RV's 2. 3. With the following condition: 1. The site plan be amended to show intensive landscaping (both horizontal and vertical) and upgraded fencing." Planning Commission: WZ-99-03/Thompson Page 8 April 1, 1999 The motion passed by a vote of 6-0 with Commissioners COLLINS and SHOCKLEY absent. It was moved by Commissioner THOMPSON and seconded by Commissioner SNOW that Case No. MS-99-01, a request for a three-lot minor subdivision for properties located at 5901, 5955 and 5995 West 38th Avenue be approved for he following reasons: The proposed replat will clarify an existing confusing lot conglomeration. 2. All requirements of the subdivision regulations have been met. Commissioner SNOW offered the following amendment: "On the following condition: that the language of the cross easements be reviewed and approved by the city attorney before being recorded." The amendment was accepted by Commissioner THOMPSON. The motion passed by a vote of 6-0 with Commissioners COLLINS and SHOCKLEY absent. Mr. Anderson returned to the podium to comment on Louise Turner's earlier presentation regarding the comprehensive plan. He stated that Louise was involved in the incorporation of the City of Wheat Ridge in 1969 and has been very active in the city since that time. He asked that because of her many years of involvement and commitment to the City that her comments be carefully considered by the Commission. Commissioner SNOW noted that Mr. Anderson served as the first mayor of Wheat Ridge. (Chair BRINKMAN declared a recess at 8:45 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:55 p.m.) e No. WZ-99-03 An application by Sandra Thompson for a change of zone from C-1: B. 7ceasst ricted Use - RV/Boat Storage to C-1: Restricted Use - RV Storage and Sales with variances for the property located at 11808 West 44th Avenue. This case was presented by Meredith Reckert. She reviewed the staff report and presented slides and overheads of the subject property. She entered all pertinent documents into the record and advised the Commission that there was jurisdiction to hear the case. The documents were accepted by Chair BRINKMAN. Staff concluded that the property was rezoned and improved in 1992 with use restrictions as an interim development scenario. Because it was intended for the property to be more extensively developed in the future, minimal landscaping and buffering was required. For the property to be converted to a permanent use as RV storage and sales lot, protection of adjacent low intensity land uses is essential. The submitted site plan proposes no change to the property and is therefore inadequate as a permanent development scenario. Without intensive buffering along the eastern, southern and western boundaries, staff does not support the additional allowed use of RV sales. For these reasons, a recommendation of denial is given for both the site plan and proposed changed zoning conditions. Staff would support the change of conditions to add RV sales as an allowed use if the site plan is amended with intensive landscaping (both horizontal and vertical) and upgraded fencing. Planning Commission Page 4 04/01/99 ATTACHMENT 2 Commissioner THOMPSON stated that even though she spoke as a citizen in opposition to the rezoning of this land in 1992, she felt she could be objective in this matter. She asked if there was any objection to allowing her to hear this case. There was no objection expressed by any Commission member. Commissioner THOMPSON referred to the site plan which indicates parking for "car/boat spaces" and expressed concern that car sales not be allowed at this location. . Commissioner GOKEY expressed concern that access from the subject property onto Tabor would present a severe negative impact on the surrounding area. Ms. Reckert explained that the present access is for emergencies only and that staff would not require Tabor Street to be widened unless there was a change to full service access. Commissioner GOKEY felt that Tabor Street is too narrow for any kind of two-way traffic and should be widened regardless of the type of access. Commissioner GOKEY expressed concern about eliminating 85% of RV storage on this property to become RV sales. Ms. Reckert didn't believe this would be a problem for overall RV storage space in the city. Commissioner THOMPSON expressed concern about buffering for residents to the south of the lot and asked if parking along the south boundary. could be limited to boats. Ms. Reckert replied that this could be a condition of approval. In response to a question from Commissioner MACDOUGALL, Mr. Goebel clarified the drainage plan for the site. Sandra Thompson 3319 Raleigh Street Ms. Thompson was sworn in by Chair BRINKMAN. Hari Sach 11800 West 44th Avenue Mr. Sach was sworn in by Chair BRINKMAN. Ms. Thompson stated that she was representing Mr. Sach and that he applied for the rezoning in order to conduct sales on the rear portion of the property. The future office/service bay area planned for Parcel C is still somewhat undefined, but the applicant wanted to show that the intent was to build on the two front parcels as opposed to building anything on the back parcel. Proper circulation through the lot will be planned at the time of construction. In regard to the parking lot surface, it is presently gravel with a few asphalt entries; however Mr. Sach would like to pave the first forty feet of parcel B from the north property line to provide a cleaner area for customers to inspect the RV's. Planning Commission Page 5 04/01/99 Commissioner GOKEY stated that the proposed parking plan is not functional. Mr. Sach disagreed and stated that the plan allowed for backing the RV's out of their space. In response to Commissioner GOKEY's question about proposed lighting, Mr. Sach replied that there would be three 250 watt lights. In response to a question from Commissioner THOMPSON concerning car/boat storage, Mr. Sach replied that occasionally a customer will trade a car in on an RV and that such cars are taken to auction for sale. He assured the Commission that he would not be selling cars on his lot. He stated that part of the back lot would still be used for RV storage. In regard to a request for a solid wood fence, Mr. Sach replied that he would prefer to place slats in the present chain link fence. Commissioner DOYLE commented that the slats in the chain link fence would not provide adequate screening. In response to a question from Commissioner THOMPSON, Mr. Goebel stated that the site triangle from Tabor Street onto 44th Avenue was adequate. She asked Mr. Goebel's opinion on the plan to pave the first 40 feet of the lot. Mr. Goebel replied that it might affect the drainage and the city would have to look at it and perhaps do an amended drainage report. Commissioner THOMPSON asked if Mr. Sach planned to store propane on his lot. Mr. Sach replied that he would not sell propane on his lot. Commissioner GOKEY stated, for clarification, that used RV's on the site contained propane. Commissioner MACDOUGALL asked if the present or future owners could blacktop the entire lot. Mr. Goebel replied that a drainage report would be required. Commissioner THOMPSON asked if it were legal for customers to sell their RV's that are stored on the lot. Mr. Sach replied that there is a provision in the contract that prohibits this, but that occasionally customers do it anyway and there doesn't seem to be away to stop them. Diane Christenson 4311 Tabor Street Ms. Christenson was sworn in by Chair BRINKMAN. She stated that she was in opposition to the change in zoning conditions which would allow sales on the rear portion of parcel B as a permanent use. Commissioner THOMPSON asked if this use could be restricted to the owner rather than the land. Ms. Reckert replied that this could be done through the use of a special use permit. George Isquith 4350 Tabor Street - Mr. Isquith was sworn in by Chair BRINKMAN. He stated his opposition to the proposed change in zoning conditions. He would not be opposed to the special permit process. He Planning Commission Page 6 04/01/99 expressed concern that one of the proposed lights would affect his residence. George Von Brehm 4305 Tabor Street Mr. Von Brehm was sworn in by Chair BRINKMAN. He indicated his opposition to the proposed change in zoning conditions. Commissioner SNOW moved and Commissioner GOKEY seconded that Case No. WZ-99-O, a request for a change of zoning conditions on C-1 zoned land located at 11808 West 44th Avenue be denied for the following reasons: The adjacent commercial zoning to the east extends 300 feet south and this request is to extend the full commercial use 500 feet to the south. There has been no change in the character of the neighborhood which justifies increasing the encroachment of a more intense commercial use south 500 feet into a residential and agricultural area. 2. The property was originally zoned to C-1 for storage upon representation by the owner that this would be an interim use only with nominal landscaping and buffering. The requested change in use is inconsistent with both the previous and current future land use map and is also inconsistent with the Fruitdale Master Plan all of which show residential uses on the southern part of the property. Any proposed change in use should respect the city's intent that the southern part of the property is intended to be residential. 4. The proposed change of zone to the southern portion of the property is incompatible with the residential and agricultural properties to the east and south of the property and with the green belt area to the south. 5. The change of use would provide little economic benefit to the city because sales tax revenues generated from RV's go to the city where the purchaser lives, not to the City of Wheat Ridge. The motion for denial passed by a vote of 6-0 with Commissioners COLLINS and SHOCKLEY absent. Ms. Reckert explained that a denial from Planning Commission stands on a rezoning matter; however, the applicant has a right to file an appeal to the City Council within ten working days of the Planning Commission's action. For the record, Commissioner THOMPSON requested that if this matter proceeds to City Council and is adopted, that City Council consider the following conditions: (1) that no PA system be allowed; (2) that no flags or banners be allowed; (3) that there be no additional buildings put on the back parcel (parcel B); (4) that there be no RV's allowed along Planning Commission Page 7 04/01/99 the southern portion of the property nor along Tabor Street that is adjacent to residential homes and this area be kept for storage of boats only; (5) that there be no opportunity given for the storage of automobiles with the intent of selling them on this property; (6) that a solid wood fence be placed on the west portion of the property in order to block the view from the green belt and residential neighborhood to the west; (7) that the circulation pattern into and around parcels A, B and C are adequate and safe, especially with the redesign of the service bay area; (8) that lighting be taken into consideration for the residential neighborhood to make sure they do not shine into neighboring homes and are turned off at a certain time each night; (9) that the landscaping strip be located outside the fence on the west side and be maintained by the applicant; (10) that the public work's department request that the lot be resurfaced with clean class six road base material (no recycled asphalt) be met; and (11) that no propane storage be allowed on the property. . Sandra Thompson returned to the podium to ask what procedures are to be followed in applying for a special use permit. She was informed by the Commission that she could contact the city staff for direction in this regard. 8. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING Chair BRINKMAN closed the public hearing. 9. OLD BUSINESS A. Brewer Tire - Commissioner THOMPSON moved and Commissioner SNOW seconded that Alan White be authorized to direct Code Enforcement to immediately investigate the storage of tires on the Brewer property and that the situation be monitored monthly to ensure compliance with the city code. The motion passed by a vote of 6-0 with Commissioners COLLINS and SHOCKLEY absent. 10. NEW BUSINESS A. Public Forum - Commission SNOW asked that the three-minute limit be enforced for this portion of the meeting. . B. State Beauty Supply - Chair BRINKMAN asked that the lighting problem be addressed. There are lights on the property that presently shine directly into the adjacent residence.

REQUEST /CASE HISTORY The applicant requests approval of a change of zoning conditions on property located at 11808 W. 44" Avenue. Current zoning on the property is C -1 with use restrictions (RV/boat storage as the single allowed land use). The applicant requests a change of zoning conditions to allow RV sales on the property in addition to the storage. Because the property is located within the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan, a site plan for development is required with the zoning request. Pursuant to Section 26- 6 (C)(1)(b), the rezoning process is to be followed when "changing of the conditions of an existing zone district where those conditions were specifically established by a previous rezoning ordinance." In 1993, Ordinance 921 was approved by the Wheat Ridge City Council which approved a rezoning of properties located at 11800 (Parcel A), 11808 (Parcel B) and 11880 (Parcel C) West 44' Avenue from Restricted - Commercial and Agricultural -One to Commercial -One. Conditions of approval were as follows: A type I site plan shall be prepared for submittal to be recorded at Jefferson County. An easement to allow ingress and egress for all parcels along the main entrance between Parcels A and C shall be prepared and submitted with the Type I site plan, in a form that can be recorded at Jefferson county. If any ditch or laterals have or will be moved, easements allowing their continued use and maintenance shall also be submitted. A decorative wood or block fence shall be erected along the north, south and east property lines of Parcel B. The landscaping shall be in accordance with the attached landscape plan or at least in accordance with Section 26- 32(D)(3). All curb cuts along W. 44` Avenue and Tabor Street shall be closed with the exception of the main entrance between Parcels A and C. Only recreational vehicle storage on a water - permeable surface will be allowed on Parcel B. Attached under Exhibit A is the site plan approved for the property. Attached under Exhibits B and C are minutes from Planning Commission and City Council pubic hearings for Case No. WZ- 92 -12. Staff would note that the under the current zoning conditions, the property can remain "as is" indefinitely with the existing use restrictions and site improvements. With the request for the change of zoning conditions, Staff has the opportunity to assess the requested use change and existing site characteristics. II. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING A meeting for neighborhood input was held on December 8, 1998. The following persons were in attendance: Meredith Reckert - city staff Sandy Thompson - applicant Planning Commission: WZ- 99- 03/Thompson April 1, 1999 Page 2 f -Z Hari Sach - owner Doris Meakins - 4340 Tabor Street Keith Meakins - 4340 Tabor Street Diane Tipton - 4311 Tabor Street George Isquith - 4350 Tabor Street Mike Koeltzow - 4291 Tabor Street The following concerns were expressed: ♦ How many vehicles can be accommodated on the lot? Currently, 171. ♦ Whether open -ended C -1 would be requested or just the one additional use (sales). ♦ Why aren't "service bays located on parcel C? ♦ Whether there would be access to the irrigation ditch running along the southern and western sides. ♦ How many different RV manufacturers would be used? Three. ♦ How many different models would be kept on the property? 30 to 40. ♦ Whether the chain -link fence on the west side be made solid. ♦ What would be used for surfacing? ♦ Any new lighting proposed? ♦ Whether the sign could be shut -off at night? shutting off at 10 p.m. ♦ Will another fire hydrant be required? ♦ What will be the effect on ground water? III. AGENCY REFERRALS The owner offered to put it on a timer, Parks and Recreation Commission has requested a C high solid wood fence along the west property line set inside the property with a landscaping strip with extensive evergreen plantings (including pines and spruce) on the west side of the fence to be maintained by the developer. On -site lighting should be done in such a way as to not interfere with the enjoyment of open space or disturbing the wildlife. Public Works has requested that the lot be resurfaced with a clean Class 6 roadbase material. Recycled asphalt will not be allowed in order to minimize environmental concerns regarding groundwater, surface water and the change in surface imperviousness. No additional public improvements or widening will be required on either 40 Avenue or Tabor St. A new drainage report is not required. Arvada Fire Protection District can service the property with the existing hydrants on Tabor Street. Tabor Street has adequate width for the secondary access for use by the district's mini - pumper and does not need to be widened. Valley Water District has lines already in place to serve the property. IV. REZONING CRITERIA Planning Commission: WZ- 99- 03/Thompson April 1, 1999 Page rlp � The original zoning approval on the property limited use of Parcel B (11808 W. 44` Avenue) to recreational vehicle storage. There were no use limitations on the two properties along West 44th Avenue {Parcels A and Q. In order for Parcel B to be used for RV storage and sales, the condition allowing only storage needs to be changed. This could be done in either of two ways: 1) remove the restriction of RV storage and allow all C -1 uses; or 2) keep the restriction of RV storage and allow the one new use (RV sales). From a staff perspective, not all C -1 uses are appropriate at this location considering adjacent residential properties to the south and east. However, a zone classification restricted to one or two uses is hard to administer. In the original hearing of Case No. WZ- 92 -12, staff had given City Council the option of rezoning to RC with a special use permit for the RV storage. When the property was rezoned, a site plan was required as part of the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan. A revised site plan has been submitted for review as Exhibit D with staff discussion under section V. of this report. Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a change in zoning or change of zoning conditions: 1. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error. There are no errors on the City zoning map. The property was rezoned to C -1 with use restrictions in 1992. 2. A change in the character in the area has occurred due to the installation of public facilities, other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration or development transitions. The West 44` Avenue corridor continues to develop commercially, replacing small homes on commercially zoned land or redeveloping existing businesses which aren't developed to their full potential. The C -1 zones abutting the subject site extends 300' south from 44` Avenue versus the 500' depth on this property. The majority of the commercial properties along 44` Avenue have open ended C -1. 3. That 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, comprehensive land use plan and other related policies or plans for the area. The existing Comprehensive Plan future land use map designates the property as multiple use on the north half and medium density residential on the south. Multiple use is defined as "a mix of residential, office and/or retail commercial uses, and parks and open space, and public /semi - public uses, to be developed in a manner which insures compatibility between uses within multiple use areas and adjacent uses, especially where adjacent to low density residential uses. Industrial uses are specifically prohibited." The Fruitdale Valley Master Plan designates the property as neighborhood commercial on the Planning Commission: WZ- 99- 03/Thompson April 1, 1999 Page 4 L/ north and moderate density residential on the south. In the 1992 staff report, staff supported the rezoning to allow the RV storage lot as they felt it could fill a neighborhood need. This need was exacerbated by the fact that the City was considering an ordinance prohibiting RV parking on- street and that the RV storage lot was to be an interim use. Typically, the type of businesses allowed in unrestricted C -1 zoning serve the region in addition to just the immediate neighborhood. If the Planning Commission approves a change of conditions for the property, staff recommends that the one additional use (RV sales) be allowed and not open -ended C -1. The applicant concurs with the single new use concept. The proposed comprehensive plan designates desirable land use as Community Commercial Service/Employment Center on the northern one -third of the property and Single - Family (up to five dwelling units per acre) on the southern two thirds. Staff concludes that the existing zoning and proposed change of conditions are inconsistent with the existing and proposed comprehensive plan designations on the southern part of the property. Pursuant to Section 2 -61(c) of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, "If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation for approval of a change to a zoning district which differs significantly from the comprehensive plan, the Planning Commission shall also make a recommendation for amendment of the comprehensive plan so the proposed zoning change shall fit compatibly into the overall planning concept of the city." Also per Section 2 -61(0, when a "rezoning is denied, amendment of the comprehensive plan shall be considered" if the zone change is denied based on incompatibility with the comprehensive plan. At the time of original zone approval, the existing classifications of Multiple Land Use and Moderate Density Residential were in place. Therefore, the chan of zone to C -I was inconsistent with the comprehensive plan designation for the south half of the property. Based on the duties and powers of the Planning Commission spelled out in the code of laws, logic would follow that a change should have been considered for amendment to the comprehensive plan map showing either a multiple use or commercial designation on the entire site. Staff believes that the zone change was approved based on testimony from both the owner /applicant and city staff that the RV storage was to be considered an interim use with minimal buffering installed. Upon submittal of a development plan for permanent use of the site, the transition between adjacent land uses would be reassessed. Once permanent land use and zoning was established, a change to the comprehensive plan map would be made. 4. That the proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will be minimal adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived. Zoning and land use surrounding the property include A -1 zoning with low density residential land use to the south. The land east of the property is zoned C -1 and utilized as a fence company and low density residential land use zoned A -1. Abutting the property to the west is the existing J.W. Brewer tire servicing facility with C -1 and C -2 zoning, as well as the A -1 zoned Coors -owned property leased to the City as open space. Although the C -1 zoning Planning Commission: WZ -99 -03 /Thompson Page 5 April 1, 1999 ,8'S is already in place, staff believes that the property is not appropriately developed for permanent usage as RV storage and sales. To achieve compatibility with the adjacent low density and passive recreation uses substantial buffering through the use of upgraded fencing and landscaping should be required. 5. That there will be social, recreational, physical and /or economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone. There will be direct economic benefits to the City as sales tax revenues generated when a person living in Wheat Ridge purchases an RV from this location. Sales tax generated from vehicle sales is received by the entity where the buyer resides and licenses the vehicle. Sales tax is collected from both vehicle rentals and vehicle storage where the lot is located. 6. That 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. Any utility upgrades required can be provided to the property at the owner's expense. 7. That the proposed rezoning 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. Since there are no major changes proposed to the property (i.e., no buildings proposed), there should be no resultant drainage problems or reductions of light and air to adjacent properties. There could be some changes to the types and quantities of traffic to and from the site. 8. That the property cannot reasonably be developed under the existing zoning conditions. The property is currently being used for RV and boat storage. However, because the storage lot was considered an interim use at the time of rezoning, there is minimal landscaping and buffering provided on site. Conversion of the property into a permanent sales and storage lot should be allowed only with mitigation to adjacent low impact land uses. 9. That the zoning will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas. Spot zoning is not an issue. 10. 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. It is impossible for staff to ascertain whether the change of zoning conditions will fill a void in services, products or facilities. There are two RV sales lots in the City (Ketelsen Campers Planning Commission: WZ- 99- 03/- Chompson Page 6 April 1, 1999 i and Casey's), one specialized servicing facility (Camper World) with another ready to be built and numerous storage lots. V. SITE PLAN The Fruitdale Valley Master Plan requires site plan approval with zone changes to ensure integration and compatibility of" the proposed development with adjacent properties including methods to mitigate potential negative impacts on residential properties." The comprehensive plan also calls for site plan approval with zone changes for properties designated Multiple Use. As such, "authority is specifically reserved to Planning Commission and City Council to limit uses and to require additional design or development standards within a multiple use area so as to achieve the stated compatibility objectives." See section IV. of this report for discussion of comprehensive plan objectives. The property owner's land is comprised of three parcels. Parcel A (I 1800 W. 44`" Avenue) is an old service station which was recently remodeled into an RV sales and service facility. Parcel C has on it an existing vehicle repair facility and small office for the storage lot. Access to Parcel B is obtained through a single curb cut and easement across Parcel C. The property owner will eventually demolish the existing car repair building and replace it with an RV service facility in accordance with the attached site plan. There are no site plan or use restrictions on Parcels A and C. Neither Parcel A or C is subject to the existing application. Parcel B is the existing RV/boat storage lot. It is surfaced with reconstituted asphalt and is surrounded with 6' high fencing. Fencing along the north is chain -link with mesh screening, on the east is solid wood with brick pillars, along the west is chain -link, along the south is solid wood. A landscaped strip from five to fifteen feet wide planted with trees runs along the inside of the fences along the east, south and west. The owner is proposing minimal changes to the site plan (Exhibit D with narrative) with the exception of the addition of wooden slats in the existing fence along the western property line to provide buffering for the city open space. The original zoning proposal was approved on the premise that the RV storage lot was an interim land use. Based on the temporary nature of the use the former owner proposed, and was approved for, only minimal landscaping areas along property perimeters. Because of the request for the change of zoning conditions, staff has the ability to reassess the development especially in regard to the transition between adjacent land uses. Staff concludes that buffering as proposed is inadequate for the adjacent low intensity uses on the south half of the property along the eastern, southern and western boundaries. VI. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff has concluded that the property was rezoned and improved in 1992 with use restrictions as an interim development scenario. Because it was intended for the property to be more extensively developed at some point in the future, minimal landscaping and buffering was required. For the riammng commission: WZ- 99- 03rMompson April 1, 1999 Page 7 /✓'7 property to be convert ed to a permanent use as RV storage and sales lot, protection of adjacent low intensity land uses is essential. The site plan submitted proposes no changes to the'property and is therefore inadequate as a permanent development scenario. Without intensive buffering along the eastern, southern and westem boundaries, Staff will not support the additional allowed use of RV sales. For these reasons a recommendation of Denial is given for both the site plan and proposed changed zoning conditions Staff would support the change of conditions to add RV sales as an allowed use if the site plan is amended with intensive landscaping (both horizontal and vertical) and upgraded fencing. VII. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS Option A: "I move that Case No. WZ- 99 -03, a request for a change of zoning conditions on C -1 zoned land located at 11808 West 44 Avenue, be DENIED for the following reasons: 1. The property was originally zoned and developed as an interim land use with minimal landscaping and buffering. 2. The property is abutted on the east and south by single family residences and by City open space on the west. 3. The site plan submitted proposes no changes to the property and is inadequate as a permanent development scenario." . Option B: "I move that Case No., a request for a change of zoning conditions on C -1 zoned land located at 11808 West 44" Avenue, be recommended to the City Council for APPROVAL for the following reasons: 1. A change of zoning conditions is required to allow the sales of RV's 2. 3. With the following condition: The site plan be amended to show intensive landscaping (both horizontal and vertical) and upgraded fencing."

Mr. Diede stated that he knew of no problems existing with the installation of sewer. Commissioner CERVENY moved that Case No. MS-92-1, an application by Roger Knight (represented by Mr. Diede through Power of Attorney) for approval of a four-lot minor subdivision for property located at 3370 Simms Street, be Approved for the following reasons: 1. 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. 2. The proposed subdivision exceeds the minimum standards for the R-1 zone; and 3. All requirements of the Subdivision Regulations have been met; With the following conditions: 1. The problem with the legal description be corrected; 2. No fill, grading or improvements occur on Lots 1 and 2 until a Special Exception permit is approved; 3. The $75 per additional lot created (3) be assessed in lieu of parkland dedication; 4. A note be added to the subdivision plat, prior to recording, - that Lot 2 shall not receive a-building permit unless a water tap has been obtained; 5. A copy of the Power of Attorney naming Mr. Diede be provided to the City of Wheat Ridge to become a part of the record. Commissioner QUALTERI seconded the motion. Motion carried 6-0. C. Case No. WZ-92-12: An application by Alexis Investments Corporation for approval of a rezone from Agricultural-One, Restricted-Commercial and Commercial- One to Commercial-One and for site plan approval within the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan. The property is ~~F located at 11800 and 11808 West 44th Avenue. Commissioner JOHNSON stated that the site of the next case borders his property and acknowledged he was acquainted with the applicant in this case, however, he felt he could-make an unbiased decision. 13-10 Planning Commission Minutes December 17, 1992 Page 7 Mr. Moberg presented the staff report. Entered and accepted into the record by the Chairman were the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, case file, packet materials, slides and exhibits. He noted that a fence had been installed by the applicant along Tabor Street following preparation of the staff report. Commissioner QUALTERI inquired if the applicant, should the property be rezoned, park large commercial vehicles, such as semi trucks. Mr. Moberg answered no. He added that staff recommended that the site plan indicate the site be utilized as a storage lot for recreational vehicles only. Any deviation from that usage would require applicant coming back to Planning Commission for re- approval. A concern exists that the property could be utilized as a staging lot for buses going to Central City. Mr. Gidley explained that the parking of large trucks is not a permitted use in the C-1 district. A Special Use Permit is required for parking more than three semi-trucks or trailers in the C-1 zone district. Michele Brewer, 3333 East Bayaud Ave., #205, was sworn in. Ms. Brewer stated the site had been cleaned up significantly. Two houses had been removed from the property and grading had been done. She reiterated this was an interim use for the property. A 10-foot landscaped buffer currently exists in front of Johnny's Auto Body and Brewer Tire. They are willing to add grass and a couple trees in front of parcel A along W. 44th Ave. In order to comply with landscaping regulations, she was willing to install sod and trees between parcels C and B. However, she preferred not to further landscape inside the fenced area. She felt the neighbors were pleased with the new-installed fence. Commissioner RASPLICKA asked how the fence would be completed. Ms. Brewer stated the fence would be brick pillars with wood. Commissioner RASPLICKA asked if the "tire farm" would be removed. Ms. Brewer stated ideally, yes, it would be removed. Ms. Brewer stated she had a problem with one of the stated conditions. She wanted to note that a chain link fence would be installed along the north side. Ms. Brewer did not feel that it was necessary to remove the excess curb cuts on West 44th Avenue. She thought the curb cut into parcel C was necessary so long as the body shop was doing business. Janice Thompson, 12290 West 42nd Avenue, was sworn in. Ms. Thompson had concerns about the type of development coming into her neighborhood. Some of the issues she mentioned were lack of /9-1/ Planning Commission Minutes Page 8 December 17, 1992 screening and landscaping, neighborhood need, and that the change of zoning to C-1 did not conform to the Fruitdale Master Plan. Ms. Thompson felt the C-1 zoning did not belong adjacent to a residential area. Should the zoning be changed, she wondered what other uses would be allowed. Mr. Gidley noted that any use allowed in C-1/C-2 zone districts would be allowed. He elaborated to say that the storage of tires was not a permitted use and that staff's recommendation was a solid fence, not a chain link fence behind the buildings facing west 44th Avenue. Mr. Gidley felt the development may meet a need in the community, since Council has directed staff to prepare an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance prohibiting parking recreational vehicles in public rights-of-way. Ms. Thompson asked if Industrial-zoned property to the north would be better suited to this development. She did not feel this development compatible with the Comprehensive Plan or the Fruitdale Master Plan. Ms. Thompson suggested a Special Use Permit be issued on a temporary basis, rather than changing the zoning, until the applicant has a definite long-term plan for the parcel. Mr. Gidley went to the overhead projector and illustrated various concepts with screening/fencing and landscaping. Mr. Moberg reiterated that even if the property is rezoned C-1, the site plan and rezoning ordinance will note this as the only use allowed on the site. Should any other use be requested, it must come again before Commission for site plan approval and use approval by ordinance. Commissioner QUALTERI asked if the City would require that the entire area be-surfaced with asphalt. Mr. Moberg stated the City will not require hard surface on the entire parcel. Recycled asphalt may be used, but water must be able to percolate on site. The drive is already asphalt. Chairman LANGDON noted that regarding Ms. Thompson's comment about community need, the RV park on Kipling and I-70 is consistently full. Ms. Thompson felt that the Industrial zone could best meet that need. She doubted that C-1 zoning in a residential area meets the intent of the Fruitdale Master Plan. Michele Brewer stated the storage would include boats, jet skis, and other items that are not necessarily 15 feet in height. She added that it would not be feasible to purchase industrial-zoned land and utilize it for RV storage, as the monetary return would not make it profitable. 8-/2 Planning Commission Minutes Page 9 December 17, 1992 Chairman LANGDON called for a recess at 9:30 p.m. Meeting reconvened at 9:58 p.m. Commissioner RASPLICKA moved that Case No. WZ-92-12, an application by Alexis Investments Corporation for approval of a rezone from Agricultural-One, Restricted-Commercial and Commercial-One to Commercial-One and for site plan approval for property located at 11800 and 11808 West 44th Avenue within the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan, be Approved for the following reasons: 1. The change of zone is in conformance with the City of Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies; and 2. The proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will minimal adverse impacts; and 3. The proposed rezoning will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by creating drainage problems, or seriously reduce light and air to adjacent properties; and 4. The property cannot reasonably be developed under the existing zoning conditions; and 5. The rezoning will not create an isolated or spot zone district related to adjacent or nearby areas. With the following conditions: 1. That a Type I site plan shall be prepared for submittal to City Council. 2. An easement to allow ingress and egress for all three parcels along the main entrance between Parcels A and C, shall be prepared and submitted with the Type I site plan, in a form that can be recorded at Jefferson County. In addition, if any ditch or laterals have or will be moved, easements allowing there continued use and maintenance shall also be submitted. 3. A decorative wood or block fence shall be erected along the west, south and east property lines of Parcel B. 4. An effort be made to landscape along the east side of the parcel, even though the brick pillars have been installed; 5. That landscaping be installed along West 44th Avenue consistent with City recommendations; 6. That the C-1 zoning on this property be restricted strictly to this RV storage use they.are proposing at this time. No other use is permitted on this parcel without returning to Planning Commission/City Council for site plan approval. 13-13 Planning Commission Minutes December 17, 1992 Page 10 Commissioner CERVENY seconded the motion. He offered a friendly amendment that the landscaping is essential on the east side, and at the front of Parcel A, but since landscaping is present on Parcel C, additional landscaping would not be required. Also, landscaping should be installed along the north side of Parcel B. Commissioner RASPLICKA agreed to this friendly amendment. on carried 5-1, with Commissioner QUALTERI voting no. 8. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING 9. OLD BUSINESS A. Commissioner Qualteri pointed out some changes that should be made to Planning Commission's Bylaws regarding adding reference to the missing feminine gender. Planning Commission consensus was to add feminine references appropriately. 10. NEW BUSINESS 11. DISCUSSION AND DECISION ITEMS A. Mr. Gidley brought to the attention of Planning Commission that our City's GIS (Geographic Information System) capabilities had been written up in the most recent Planning Magazine. He thanked Commission for their prior support in gaining the equipment necessary so that the City could have this capability. B. Mr. Gidley brought Commission up-to-date regarding new City economic development programs. He will prepare a package of information to be included in a future packet for Commission regarding this matter. 12. COMMITTEE & DEPARTMENT REPORTS 13. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Commissioner RASPLICKA moved for adjournment. Commissioner JOHNSON seconded the motion. Motion carried 6-0. Meeting adjourned at 10:25 p.m. Sandra Wiggins, Secretary /3-!L1 EV 14 r G CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: February 22, 1993 Page -2- Motion by Vance Edwards that Council Bill 3 (Ordinance 920), a request for approval of a rezoning from Restricted-Commercial to Commercial-One for property located at 9900 West 44th Avenue, be approved for the following reasons: 1. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the adjacent zoning and land use and it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and 2. The criteria used to justify a rezon.ing support approval of this request; and 3. Planning Commission and staff recommend approval; seconded by Mr. Shanley; carried 7-1 with Mrs. Brougham voting No. Item 2. Council Bill 4 - An Ordinance providing for the approval of rezoning from Restricted-Commercial and Agricultural-One to Commercial-One and for approval of an Official Development Plan on land located at 11808 West 44th Avenue, City of Wheat Ridge, county of Jefferson, State of Colorado. (Case No. WZ-92-12) (Alexis Investments) N 000, Council Bill 4 was introduced by Phil Edwards on second reading; title read by the Clerk; Ordinance No. 921 assigned. Mr. Middaugh explained that the parcel in question is currently zoned A-1, R-C, and C-1. The request is to have the entire parcel rezoned to a C-1 classification. There has also been a request that the landscaping requirements be waived. Council will be presented various options for motions. Mrs. Brougham complained that the Planning Commission Minutes were not attached to the staff report and she requested that Council have those Minutes prior to proceeding with this case. Mr. Shanley asked for consensus to proceed with the hearing without the Planning Commission Minutes. Consensus was 5 in favor to proceed. Mr. Gidley presented the staff report and answered Council questions. Michelle Brewer, 3333 E. Bayaud Ave., #205, representing the applicant, was sworn in by the'Mayor. She gave history on the piece of property; they have spent a considerable amount of money on it to make improvements and have plans to spend more on landscaping. The recreational vehicle storage is only temporary and they don't want to spend a lot of money on landscaping until they find a permanent use for the property; most of the improvements they made were made at their neighbors requests; she was led to believe that their site plan was sufficient and she submitted this plan in January and has never heard anything back; the ditch has been moved to the southern end of the property; although there are many trees on the property they are willing to plant more; there is a need for this use in the community. Alex Brewer, 13620 W. 30th Place, Golden, office address 11900 W. 44th Avenue, adjoins the property in question; the reason he bought this property is that his business is expanding; they have worked with the neighbors; this is not a permanent use, it is too expensive for what we are using it for, but for now it will keep the property clean; they have done everything they could to comply with whatever the City asked. /3-/5 CITY COUNCIL MINUTE°- February 22, 1993 Page -3- Janice Thompson, 12290 W. 42nd Avenue, was sworn in by the Mayor; she quoted from the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan that encourages quality growth which preserves property values and upgrades the community. Commercial Use along 44th Avenue that does not encroach on residential areas is promoted. Incompatible and undesirable uses should be excluded. She is concerned about the word "outside storage"; tires stored behind Mr. Brewer's business are very unsightly. She asked that C-1 be only along 44th Avenue and the. rest of the property remain Restricted Commercial to protect the residential uses. Comply with landscaping regulations. Motion by Phil Edwards that Council Bill 4 (Ordinance 921), a request for rezoning from Agricultural-One and Restricted Commercial to Commercial-One with an approved site plan for property located at 11800 West 44th Avenue be approved for the following reasons: The change of zone is in conformance with the City of Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies; and the proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will be minimal adverse impacts; and the proposed rezoning will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by creating drainage problems, or seriously reduce light and air to adjacent properties; and the property cannot reasonably be developed under the existing zoning conditions; and the rezoning will not create an isolated or spot zone district related to adjacent or nearby areas.

No additional properties will be created which could be developed. The properties are zoned C-1, located at 5901, 5955 and 5995 West 38th Avenue and legally described as follows: Lots 1 through 11, Lot 14 and the West 1 foot of Lot 15, Hahn Subdivision, being a part of the southeast 1/4 of Section 24, Township 3 South, Range 69 West of the 6`h P.M., :7ase ty o efferson, City of Wheat Ridge, State of Colorado. 2.

THOMPSON ARCHITECT March 22, 1999 Meredith Recker[ Senior Planner City of Wheat Ridge 7500 West 29' Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80215 Dear Meredith: Attached, please find the required copies of the revised site plan for the proposed rezoning of the property located at 11808 West 44' Avenue for the April 1, 1999, Planning Commission Meeting. As you know, the intent of this proposed rezoning is to allow the existing use of recreational vehicle storage to expand to sales. This will allow the owner, as well as any persons' storing property, to conduct business on the premise. The intent is not to change the existing physical appearance, with the exception of a few improvements. In response to some of the comments during the review process, the owner, Hari Sach, has addressed the following issues: 1. Landscape/Buffering. The existing landscaping will be maintained as a screen from the surrounding neighbor hood. A 6' landscaping buffer at the north property line shall be maintained, as well as a the existing 15' utility easement to the east and a 15' landscaping buffer to the south, however, the owner will maintain the landscaping within the property to utilize the benefits to his customers. 2. Future Building. The future budding as previously shown on Parcel B, will be located at a future date on Parcel C-in order to comply with the zoning requirements. All future proposed work shown on the plan will be submitted to the appropriate governing bodies at that time. 3. Fire Department Access: Steve Steigleder, at the Arvada Fire District, has been to the site on multiple occasions and has agreed that the requirement to widen Tabor street to allow continuous 24' access is not necessary at this time as long as the owner maintains access, as well from 44'" Avenue. 4. Road Base: The original plans indicate resurfacing with recycled asphalt as requested by Public Works, the owner will resurface with Class 6 road base material. 5. Fencing. It was requested by Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation, that the fencing at the Southeast corner of Parcel B that adjoins the Open Space, be replaced with a solid 6' fence. At this time, the owner has agreed to provide new wood slats in the existing 6' chain link fence with security wire. Due to increased security concerns, he feels, it is more beneficial to keep the fence and improve the visual impact by adding the wood slats. We do hope that this resubmittal is deemed appropriate and look forward to the meeting on April V. Thank you for all of your help in this matter.

On the site data breakdown, please note site coverage in square feet and percentage of total for each lot with building, landscaping and hard surfaced coverages. 1%40 2. What size are the parking stalls? I'L x 5 3. What will happen along the south property line where stall sizes are smaller? i 4. Show all fences(with height and type), exterior lighting (height and type), signage (location, size and height), landscaping, parking (including customer and employee and display parking and handicapped spaces), easements, drainage ponds and ways (including irrigation ditches), trash dumpsters with screening and information regarding proposed building (including type of construction, materials to be used, etc.). 5. A total of 107 stalls are being shown. Based on this amount, at least three interior islands measuring the same as the stalls will be required. You had indicated that instead of islands, you would be willing to increase buffering along the perimeter. At a minimum, Staff would request that buffering be increased to at least 10' along Tabor Street and 15' along the south and western property lines. 6. The site plan shown is not of sufficient size for Planning Commission review. At a minimum, it should measure 11" by 17" so that adequate detail can be read. It will eventually need to be in a 24" by 36" format so it can be recorded with Jefferson County as an official development plan. 7. To meet the development plan standards, the following must be added: 1. The title should read "Hart's RV Sales/Storage Lot" "An Official Development Plan in the City of Wheat ridge 2. Legal description of the property 3. ' Statement of zoning, character of the development and allowed uses for all parcels D. Signature block for owner E. Recording block for Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder's Office F. Signature blocks for the Chairman of the Planning Commission, Planning and Development Director, Public Works Director, and Mayor with City Clerk's attestation. tk S. The future office/service bay building is required to have a front setback of 30' ~i where a 0' setback is shown. Because of that, a variance will have to be processed with the case. It might be smart to increase the perimeter fence height on the south and west side (adjacent to the open space) to at least 8'. This will also require a variance. Please advise me how you wish to proceed. 9. Recorded easement allowing access to parcel B across parcel C. The following are referral comments receive from outside agencies and other City departments. Arvada Fire Protection District will require the emergency access gate on Tabor Street to be 24' wide. Interior access aisles must be posted as fire lanes and be 24' in width. Additional looped water lines and fire hydrant(s) will be require for the storage lot and new building. Valley Water District will require additional mainlines and fire hydrant(s) with the new building. Individual lines with easements and individual water taps will be require for any new structures. Jefferson County Planning has no comments. Wheat Ridge Public Works Department has requested that the lot be resurfaced with clean, Class 6 road base material instead of recycled asphalt. This is required in order to minimize environmental concern regarding groundwater, surface water and the change in surface imperviousness. V Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Commission has requested a 6' solid wood fence setback inside a landscaped strip with extensive evergreen landscaping. Any lighting be done in a way which does not interfere with the enjoyment of open space or which ~51 A disturbs the wildlife. Wheat Ridge Building Department has noted that the proposed structure will have to ~ meet setback and other typical C-1 development standards at the time of construction. Any new lighting on the site will require permits and approvals. Other items of concern from the old staff report from the previous case on this property: Vw~ J 1. Be able to address the issue of storm run-off on existing parcel. One of the Planning Commission is a civil engineer and likes to talk about this. Would be good to have a copy of the drainage report for the property. 2. Will loudspeakers or pagers be used? 3. What are materials for new building? 4. Can the fence along Tabor be moved so landscaping is on the outside? Can the fence ne higher than 6'? 5. The Comprehensive Plan for this area shows the property as multiple use on the north half and medium density residential on the south. Multiple use is defined as "a mix of residential, office and/or retail commercial use, an parks and open space, and public/semi-public uses, to be developed adjacent uses, especially where adjacent to low density residential., uses. Industrial uses are specifically prohibited." The Fruitdale Valley Master plan designates the property as neighborhood commercial on the north and moderate density residential on the south. The proposed comprehensive plan shows the property as commercial center on the north and single family detached residential (not to exceed 5 du's per acre) on the south. Obviously, the existing and proposed uses are inconsistent with all of the residential designations on the south half, although there is some argument that the area has changed based on zoning actions in surrounding properties. This is the only property along W. 44`h Avenue where the commercial extends so far south. 6. There is some sentiment that the 44`h Avenue corridor is perceived as "RV city". Since we do not collect sales tax when these vehicles are sold, it may be smart to prepare something showing spin-off benefits from the sales. I believe that Hari did this when we were working on the zoning case further to the west 7. Tabor Street right-of-way is only 20' in width which is substandard for a Class 7 street. However, starting 200' south of 40 Avenue, Tabor Street is classified as an exempt local street. Typically, a street with this classification is exempt for the requirement for installation of public improvements. Public Works will not request installation of public improvements on the northern 200' if no access points are requested. There may be other items of concern in the future which are unforeseen at this time. This case is scheduled for public hearing in front of Planning Commission on April 1, 1999.

The area proposed to be resurfaced with recycled asphalt needs to be resurfaced with a clean Class 6 roadbase material instead. This is required in order to minimize environmental concerns regarding groundwater, surface water and the change in surface imperviousness. 2. As the referral submitted is stipulating a zoning change only for this property, Public Works development standards are not required at this time. cc: Alan White, Planning & Development Director Dave Kotecki, Sr. Project Engineer Steve Nguyen, Traffic Engineer John McGuire, City Surveyor File 44th Avenue & Tabor Street N 40 0 40 80 Feet n ~s merit Zw~ / , i h4 RV pave c( w- Q~.evuc~ 6F VALLEY WATER DISTRICT P.O.

THOMPSON Architect January 20,1999 Planning and Development Department City of Wheat Ridge 7500 West 29' Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033 Attn: Meredith Reckert Dear Meredith: Attached, please find the application for zoning change for Parcel B at 11808 West 44`h Street in Wheat Ridge Colorado. To review, we are proposing a change in the restricted use currently in place to C-1, Restricted Use: RV Sales to allow for RV America employees to escort potential customers to the area that is currently used as RV storage. We believe that this change will not affect the current status of the property and with the addition of and continued upkeep of the fencing and landscaping surrounding the property may in fact, improve the appearance. As you know, we met with the immediate neighbors on December 8, 1998 to discuss any adverse affects this might cause. The general consensus was positive with a few minor comments, including. 1. Providing access to the ditch from the east and west 2. Preference of a restricted use re-zone, rather than complete re-zoning of the property. 3. Providing a solid fence at the lake area. 4. Height restr~etion of the proposed future building. 5. Shielding of fights to reduce glare. The owner will address these issues to continue a pleasant relationship with these neighbors as he develops his business. Thank you very much for your continued help in this matter. If there are any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sandra .
