Dear Mr. Hack:
The following are my comments regarding your submittal for approval of an administrative
amendment for the Exempla Healthcare property located at 8300 West 381 Avenue within the City of
Wheat Ridge.
I have reviewed the document and have the following comments:
1. The legal description on the first sheet is illegible. Staff questions whether the
Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder's office will accept this as a recordable document.
2. Please change "Developmental Description" to "Explanation of Amendment"
3. Please correct the spelling of "toal" to "total" under "Explanation of Amendment".
4. Please remove the subtitle "Demolition and move the written description to be included
under the "Explanation of Amendment".
5. Add the following case number to the first sheet : Case No. WZ-02-05.
6. In the title block, add "Administrative Amendment".
7. Add a mayor's certificate to read as follows: "Approved this day of
by the City of Wheat Ridge.
Mayor"
8. Next to the City Clerk's attestation of the Mayor's signature, add a "seal" location.
Please make the changes itemized above and resubmit one copy of the changes. If you have questions
concerning any of the above, do not hesitate to contact me at 303-235-2848.
Sincerely,
Meredith Reckert, AICP

Project Description
Exempla Lutheran Medical Center
South Wing Cardiology Addition
8300 West 38th Avenue
Wheatridge, Colorado 80033
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Schematic Design product was produced through a series of interviews with the facility, department
users, site tours of other facilities and gaming sessions. This process produced several initial flow and
relationship diagrams. Through further discussion the Third Floor Cardiology Unit developed into a series
of bubble diagrams. Through the refinement of the department relationships and facility meetings a
single, more defined diagram was generated. The Schematic Design included in this package is the result
of those meetings and gaming sessions.
The initiation and direction of the project coincides with the strategic plan and Exempla's vision for their
continued growth and development as set forth in the facilities Master Plan. The expansion of the South
wing is set to include the full build out of a third floor Cardiology Department. This department will include
services available for both in-patient and out patient treatment. The remainder of the expansion will be
future build out space. This future build out space will extend the existing building up three floors from the
Cardiology expansion.
First floor design modifications will be include the installation of two new geared elevators in existing
shafts located at the north end of the South Wing. Other changes will include a new holeless hydraulic
elevator, located on the south side of the building, to handle the anticipated traffic from the second floor
Medical Office Building One's Cardiology clinic and the new Third Floor Cardiology Center.
Second floor modifications and changes will be the introduction of a new elevator lobby associated with
the two new north elevators. Additional modifications will include some minor renovation work on the
south end of the floor. This work is in direct response to the new hydraulic elevator being installed.
The third floor development is for the new Cardiology Center. This center will include space for the
relocation of the existing Cath Lab and equipment along with a new Cath Lab and space allocated for the
future build out of a third Lab. In conjunction with the Cath Labs will be a new EP lab room. These rooms
are grouped together to allow for greater control, patient privacy and staff efficiencies. The development
of this type of suite also allows for preoperative and postoperative care to take place within the same
suite. Adjacent to the new Cath lab suite will be a Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit, EKG/Echo/Testing Center
and Pulmonary Functions Lab. All of which will utilize one central reception and waiting area.
The new Cardiac Rehabilitation facility will include patient changing facilities, rehabilitation gym,
consultation room and staff work areas. The Echo, EKG, Testing rooms will be grouped together for
better staff flow and patient care. The Pulmonary Function Labs will now be grouped together and able to

Project Description
share many areas with both Cardiac Rehab and Echo, EKG. The relationships of these department and
location on the floor create a new Cardiac Suite.
The remainder of occupiable floors will be constructed as shell space. This shell space will permit the
facility to expand the in-patient care areas. The types of expansion capabilities include 24 medical beds
with support areas per floor. Also, the possibility of a 16 bed or 18 bed Intensive Care Unit or Critical Care
Unit. The final development, of the three floors, is still under consideration and being evaluated against
the facilities Strategic Growth Plan and Vision.
OWNER'S GOALS
The Owner's goals for this project is to bring together on one floor the Cardiology Department. A plan to
build a facility to handle the current needs of the community it serves and the future needs of that
community. It is a vision to develop a floor in the facility for a specific use, thus providing the people it
serves a single place to handle their needs.

These narratives illustrate a description of the project in the Schematic Design Phase. This information is
intended solely to be helpful in the construction cost estimating. They represent a judgement of what may
be expected in subsequent design: however, during subsequent design the drawings and this narrative
will change.
SITE NARRATIVE
Current site conditions will be maintained with minimal disturbance. The only site work associated with
this project is for the installation of the new south hydraulic elevator. Currently the parking totals and
locations are being reviewed under a different contract. This review will be addressed in a separate
project and will run concurrently with the building addition.
ARCHITECTURAL NARRATIVE
The following description focuses on the architectural scope of work. Any reference to existing
construction or building refers to the 1983 two-story South Wing addition. Medical Office Building One,
located to the South of the 1983 addition will be referred to as MOB 1. Currently the facility maintains
several building standards. The standards are for Hardware, Finishes, and Fixtures, both mechanical and
electrical.
Project Summary:
To provide Exempla Lutheran Medical Center with a Cardiology Center. The center will group
together on one floor Cardiac Rehabilitation, Cardiac Cath Lab, EKG, Echo, Pulmonary Function,
Stress, and staff support functions.
Located in the new third floor addition of the South Wing will be two new Cath Labs, a six bed
pre/post operative care area, EP Lab, Stress testing room, Treadmill room, Gamma Camera with
hot lab and processing, Pulmonary Procedure Room, PFT Room, Bronchoscopy Lab, three
physician Read Rooms, Education and Consultation Rooms, Doctor Sleep, Staff Lockers and
Lounge, Central waiting and Reception, two EKG Exams, two Echo testing rooms, Holter Lab,
twenty person education room, staff work rooms and office, along with a Cardiac Rehabilitation
Gym.
The fourth, fifth and sixth floor additions to the existing building will be lesser in square footage to
correspond to the existing structural capacity. These floors will be built as shell space. The floors
are currently being reviewed for several different uses. A sixteen or eighteen bed Critical Care
Unit or Intensive Care unit to be located on the fourth floor or a twenty-four bed Telemetry unit.
For floors five and six a twenty-four patient bed unit is being considered.

EXEMPLA LUTHERAN MEDICAL CENTER
PARKING SUPPLY/DEMAND ANALYSIS
MAY 10, 2001
Walker Parking Consultants was engaged by Exempla Healthcare to
perform a parking study update at Lutheran Medical Center. A similar
study was conducted by Walker in 1999. The hospital asked Walker
to provide current and projected parking demands based on planned
construction projects. These projects include a multi-level heart center,
the addition of 35-50 beds, and the demolition and rebuilding of the
older portion of the hospital.
The current parking supply at the hospital is 2,144 spaces. However,
when the supply is adjusted to reflect a cushion necessary for efficient
operation, the effective supply is reduced to 1,970 spaces.
Parking demand was determined by creating parking models and
observing levels of parking on on average busy day. Four separate
inventory counts were performed on Tuesday, March 27'", 2001.
Walker's counts revealed that peak demand occurred at 10:30 a.m.
when occupancy reached 1,720 vehicles.
When reviewing current parking supply and demand in aggregate
terms for this campus, it appears that the current supply is adequate to
meet the current demand, however, these numbers are misleading.
Certain patron groups are currently experiencing difficulty in finding a
space at peak times. Over the course of the next 4-5 years the
demand will continue to increase. Consequently, the medical center
will be faced with a large parking deficit if it does not increase its
parking supply.
Similar to the current-year adequacy, the projected deficit of only 6
spaces by 2006 doesn't realistically reflect the future need for spaces,
especially for associates, physicians, and patients. The MOB parking
areas contain a surplus of parking, but these parking areas are not
convenient for patrons of the main hospital buildings and therefore, it is
important to look at parking in two separate areas; the main hospital
and the MOB's. The main hospital is projected to have a 236-space
deficit by 2006, while the MOB is projected to have a 230-space
surplus. The deficit in supply at the main hospital is prevalent even
now on a daily basis at the main patient/visitor lot and in the
employee lots.
In consideration of the current and future parking issues facing Lutheran
Medical Center, Walker recommends that a minimum of 250-300
new spaces be created to serve the medical center and its patrons.
Immediate attention is needed to provide additional parking in the
physician lot (50-60) spaces and in the main visitor/patient lot (60-80
spaces).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
EXEMPLA LUTHERAN MEDICAL CENTER
PARKING SUPPLY/DEMAND ANALYSIS
MAY 10, 2001
Lutheran Medical Center is located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, a
suburb 20 minutes northwest of downtown Denver. Walker Parking
Consultants performed a supply and demand study for the hospital in
1999. Since that study, a number of variables have changed
including increased staffing and patient volumes. The Medical Center
is planning multiple changes that will further elevate parking demand.
These plans include a new heart center consisting of several additional
floors. Futhermore, visitor parking will be affected by the demolition of
the older portion of the hospital that will be re-built.
This study shall focus on the current and 5-year projected state of
parking at the Wheat Ridge-based campus.

Walker Parking Consultants was retained by Exempla Healthcare to
provide parking consulting services. The purpose of this study was to
determine the present and future parking needs of the campus. The
following was our scope of services for this engagement:
Met with hospital representatives once and confirmed study
objectives, boundaries, procedures, and project schedule.
2. Reviewed the 1999 Walker report and any other existing
reports/studies pertinent to parking or traffic at Exempla
Lutheran Medical Center.
3. Reviewed the hospital's master plan for its impact on parking
supply and demand.
4. Reviewed the hospital's inventory of existing parking spaces to
determine number, user assignment (employee/physician/
visitor), time restrictions, fees, etc.
5. Collected and reviewed historical data supplied by the
hospital via a background information survey form supplied by
Walker.
6. Conducted occupancy counts at selected times on a typically
busy day for all spaces in the study area. This determined the
pattern of parking utilization, and helped to identify/document
unusual patterns. We required level of activity information from
the hospital on the day the survey was completed. Required
was the number of outpatients, inpatients, ER patients, and
MOB patients, along with the number of physicians and
employees in the hospital and MOB.
7. Determined the present parking supply and demand. This was
based on data gathered from the hospital and parking
demand ratios developed from Walker's database of other
medical facilities. Compared 2001 parking demand ratios
with those developed in 1999.
8. Summarized our findings and conclusions about current
parking adequacy in this draft report and we will discuss with
appropriate hospital staff.
9. Incorporate one consolidated set of comments from staff into a
final report.

Several terms may be used in this report that require clarification. DEFINITION OF TERMS
i These terms are defined as follows:
® 1. Survey Day - The day occupancy counts were taken on the
subject property. This day should represent a typical busy day.
2. Design Day - The day that represents the level of parking
demand the parking system is designed to accommodate. This
S level of activity is a reasonably high percentile of absolute
peak activity.
3. Effective Supply - The total supply of parking spaces is
adjusted to reflect the cushion needed to provide for vehicles
moving in and out of spaces, spaces unavailable due to
s maintenance, and to reduce the time necessary for parking
patrons to find the last few available spaces. The adjustment
varies as to the amount and type of parking, but typically the
effective supply is 85% to 95% of the total number of spaces.
A
4. Parking Demand - The number of spaces required by various
user groups and visitors to the subject properly.
411 5. Demand Ratio - The ratio of the number of vehicles observed
4,lb to occupy parking spaces compared to a reference number.
For example, if there are 1,000 full-time equivalent (FTE)
associates and an observed peak occupancy of 400 vehicles
in the employee lot, the demand ratio is 0.40 (40011000) for
FTE's.
6. Optimum Utilization Factor - The factor applied to the
calculated demand for parking to allow it to operate at
maximum efficiency. The factor allows for a 5% to 15%
"cushion" for vehicles moving in and pulling out of parking
stalls and reduces the time necessary for patrons to find a
4b space when few are available.

PARKING SUPPLY/DEMAND ANALYSIS
MAY 10, 2001
Walker inventoried the study area parking supply at Lutheran to
determine the number of spaces, the user assignments le.g. employee,
physician, and patient] and identified restrictions pertaining to campus
parking. This inventory includes all spaces used by visitors, staff,
physician, patients, and the general public. The complete parking

EFFECTIVE PARKING SUPPLY
Once the inventory counts were performed, Walker applied an
optimum utilization factor to the results. This factor represents the level
that a parking area operates at peak efficiency. Often a facility will
be perceived as full by potential patrons, even when there are still a
small number of spaces available. Patrons may experience frustration
and delays as they have to search for the last few vacant spaces or
may avoid parking altogether. The optimum utilization factor engineers
a "cushion" against this perception, assuring both the perception and
reality of adequate parking. The factor is also applied as a "cushion"
for spaces lost to poor or improper parking, snow removal, repair,
Photograph 2: Employee Lots A & 8
derelict vehicles, and the like.
Optimum utilization factors are adjusted by the type of patron and type
of facility. Associates who tend to park in the same place every day
necessitate a 95% factor. If the employee parks in a smaller, reserved
parking area (e.g. physicians) the factor would be 100%.
Patients and hospital visitors who are unfamiliar with the area will
r..._,
fr
i
require a factor of 90%. This factor is applied to both large surface
1
P
lots found on the hospital campus because of the relative difficulty of
finding on open space during peak times.
When the optimum utilization factor is applied to the total parking
spaces in the study area, the effective supply is rendered. The effective
parking supply for the Lutheran campus is 1,970. The following table
displays the calculations used to determine the effective supply.

SURVEY DAYS
Demand is determined from occupancy counts conducted at typical
busy times. Based on conversations with officials at Lutheran Medical
Center, it was determined that Tuesday is typically the busiest day of
the week. Walker counted the number of parked cars tkoughout the
study area at four different intervals of time. The occupancy count was
conducted on Tuesday, March 27, 2001. The results' of the
occupancy counts are summarized and expressed in the following
table and graph.

CURRENT CONDITIONS
As seen in the following graph, the monthly activity levels at the
hospital fluctuated significantly throughout the yearn, with May being
the busiest month. The average activity of these months is 22,348
patient days. This activity includes: outpatient plus % observation
patients, ER registrations, and inpatient bed census.

The level of activity on the survey day at the hospital campus was
evaluated in comparison to peak levels of activity for inpatients,
outpatients, and emergency room treatments. Walker recommends
that hospitals should design their parking supply based on the 85h
percentile level of patient activity. This level is equivalent to a very
busy day that may occur once or twice a month. Designing parking to
meet the absolute peak level of parking would leave many unused
spaces during the majority of the year. Conversely, designing for the
average level would mean inadequate parking during half the year.
Design day demand statistics are based on the 85" percentile level of
activity. The following graphs compare the level of activity during our
survey day to the level of activity during the design day (85h
percentile). The data used in the development of these graphs was
provided by hospital administration.

These graphs illustrate that during our survey day, levels of activity
closely mirrored the level of activity projected for the design day. The
outpatient and inpatient numbers were actually higher during the survey
day. The comparison of the activity levels helps us to determine
whether the conditions during observation are adequate upon which to
base parking demand.
To more precisely determine the number of spaces needed for each
type of parking patron, the parking occupancy numbers are compared
to group population statistics provided by the medical center3. From
this comparison, a demand ratio is determined for each group, which
is then used to project the number of parking spaces needed for each
type of patron. The day Walker conducted the original parking

These demand ratios are typical for hospitals and MOB's. However,
in some cases, the theoretical demand ratios may slightly differ from
actual observed conditions on the survey day. While the majority of
the parking supply at Lutheran Medical Center is designated for
specific user groups, many of the areas of parking are abused (e.g.
employees parking in areas intended for patient/visitor use).
Consequently, it not possible to determine site-specific ratios for every
group based on the occupancy counts. However, these ratios are
typical for hospitals and reflect the overall picture of parking demand
on the hospital campus.
Physician and associate numbers will fluctuate little from day to day
during the week in most hospitals, regardless of the level of patient
activity. Parking areas that are affected by different levels of activity
are the patient and visitor parking areas. Data from the year 2000
was evaluated to determine the 85'h percentile level of activity of bed
census. This data (see Graph 3) was used to reflect the average
conditions within the busiest month and create the Design Day parking
demand. The following table shows this information. Lutheran patient
activity levels on our survey day are very similar to the data developed
for the design day.

A comparison between the design day and the survey day shows that
the occupancy levels witnessed during our survey day very closely
mirror the demand expected on the design day. A difference of only
two spaces exists between the two days. This difference concludes
that the activity observed is adequate upon which to base current
parking demand.
FUTURE DEMAND
Future demand is determined in much the same manner as current
demand. Walker analyzed the planned changes and incorporated
them into the parking demand model. All future changes as described
by hospital administration and the Master Plan (October 1999) have
been accounted for. The major changes included in future projections
include the following:
• Adding 35-50 beds over the next three to five years.
• Planning a new,- multi-level heart center in the south wing.
• Demolishing and re-building the older portion of the hospital on
the northern side of the medical center.
• 3% annual increase in employees°.
The future demand model is displayed in the following table.
Actual employee projections were not provided by hospital administration
and therefore, 3% annual increases were assumed.

Although an overall surplus exists, it is important to individually analyze
each user group. Several areas are experiencing a deficit including
staff physicians, outpatients, ER patients, MOB physicians, and MOB
staff. Associates overall show a surplus, however individual lots like C
and D routinely are 95-100% occupied, so patrons of those lots may
perceive there is inadequate parking.
The outpatient adequacy number is significant because it is indicative
of the problem occurring on the main patient/visitor lot. This lot
routinely fills to capacity and experienced a peak occupancy of 375
vehicles during our survey day. This number, when compared to the
effective supply, represents the lot being 1 10% full. Additional parking
needs to be created for this patron group.
FUTURE CONDITIONS
Hospital administration is anticipating ongoing changes in the future.
Each of these changes will have an impact on the parking environment

According to the above table, the campus as a whole will have a
deficit of 6 parking spaces in the year 2006. However, as these
numbers are analyzed it becomes clear that parking in certain areas is
more inadequate than depicted by Table 9. The subtotals portray a
more realistic picture of parking conditions on the campus.
Many times the numbers portrayed in tables do not accurately depict
the real parking issues facing different facilities. This is especially true
at Lutheran Medical Center where the majority of vacancies exist on
the MOB parking lot. While the MOB is projected to have a surplus
of 230 spaces in 2006, the main hospital is projected to have a
deficit in parking of 236 spaces. The MOB lot unfortunately does not
provide close parking for individuals that are going to the main
hospital. Therefore, the surplus that exists on the MOB,lot cannot be
considered a remedy to the parking deficit experienced on the main
campus.

Lutheran Medical Center administration understands that parking is and
will continue to be a concern throughout the campus. This supply and
demand study has outlined the issues facing the current and future
levels of demand. Walker has identified that although parking is
currently adequate on a campus-wide basis, several patron groups are
struggling to find an open space on a more localized basis.
As the hospital continues its plan for growth in the future, additional
parking demand must be met with additional supply. Walker has
shown that Lutheran has a current deficit among certain user groups on
the main campus and this deficit will increase in the future. In order to
provide adequate parking for current conditions, the medical center
should immediately add 5060 more physician spaces and 60-80
more visitor/patient spaces.
In anticipation of future growth and development, the medical center
should consider adding within the next few years a total of 250300
parking spaces on the main campus, distributed among several user
groups. While a decision about structured parking was not part of the
scope of this study, it is apparent that this may soon become the most
viable option for adding necessary parking supply.
