RE: Approval status for special use permit located at 11440 W. 44 h Avenue.
Dear Dan:
On April 28, 2003, City Council approved Case No. SUP-02-02, a request for approval of a special
use permit to expand an existing pet care facility. Pursuant to Section 26-107(A)(2) final approvals
will expire within one (1) year from the date of final approval if a building permit is not issued for
the work authorized, or if the work is ceased for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days or more
at any time after work is commenced.
It has come to my attention that there has not been a building permit submitted for Best Friends to
begin the expansion process. Randy Leeds and myself have had discussion regarding building
permit submittal requirements, but I have not heard from him or yourself for several months. This
letter is just a friendly reminder that the special use permit will expire one year (April 28, 2004)
from the date of final approval.
Please let me know if you are planning on proceeding with construction, or if the project is being
revised or being abandoned.
Sincerely, 4~
Michael Pesicka
Planner, Community Development

Dear Mr. Leeds:
Please be advised that at its meeting of April 28, 2003, City Council approved Case No. SUP-02-02, a request
for approval of a special use permit to expand an existing pet care facility for property zoned Agricultural-
Two and located at 11440 West 44`" Avenue, for the following reasons:
1. It will meet a proven public need to fill a void in necessary services.
2. It will not have a negative impact on the general health, safety and convenience of persons in
the neighborhood, and fire service will be improved.
3. The request will not contribute to blight in the neighborhood.
4. Revenues to the City may increase.
5. It will not impact the adequate supply of light and air nor will it cause significant noise, water
or air pollution.
With the following conditions:
1. That the special use permit shall be a grant of use that runs with the land in perpetuity.
2. That the concrete fire access pad be shortened in length, and have trees planted between the
existing building and the proposed addition. Staff will work with the applicant and Arvada
Fire Department to locate the trees so fire access is not compromised.
City Council also approved variance request A, considered concurrently with Case No. SUP-02-02, a request
for approval of a 10-foot rear yard setback variance from the 15-foot rear yard setback requirement resulting
in a 5-foot rear yard setback from property zoned Agricultural-Two and located at 11440 West 44'Avenue,
for the following reasons:
1. The request will not alter the essential character of the locality.
2. The split zoning of the property does constitute a hardship.
3. The request will not have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood or community.

Finally, City Council approved variance request B, considered concurrently with Case No. SUP-02-02, a
request for a variance to the maximum allowed building coverage of 25% for property zoned Agricultural-
Two and located at 11440 West 44' Avenue for the following reasons:
1. The request will not alter the essential character of the locality.
2. The split zoning of the property does constitute a hardship.
3. The request will not have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood or community.
Enclosed is a draft copy of the City Council minutes. Please feel free to contact me at 303-235-2846 if you
have any questions.
Sincerely,
Kathy Field

ALLOW FOR THE EXPANSION OF A PET CARE FACILITY

Director of Community Development City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Best Friends Pet Care is requesting approval of a special use permit to allow for the
expansion of an existing pet care facility. Included in this agenda item are associated
requests for a 10-foot rear yard setback request from the 15-foot rear yard setback
requirement (Request A), and a 4.8% variance to the maximum allowed building
coverage of 25% in the A-2 zone district (Request B). The applicant is requesting
building coverage of 29.8%. If the special use permit is not approved, no action should
be taken on the variance requests.
Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions. One of which is a berm
and masonry wall totaling a height of eight feet to be installed along the southern end of
the facility. This condition is unenforceable according to the City Attorney. The Fire
District objects to this condition as it would obstruct fire access.
An alterative plan that provides buffering for the park has been accepted by staff, the applicant,
and the Fire District. This alternative is included in the motion for approval.
Planning Commission recommended approval of Case No. SUP-02-02 at their meeting
on April 3, 2003, with conditions.
Planning Commission reviewed Case No. SUP-02-02 on April 3, 2003, and recommended
approval of the special use permit for the following reasons:
1. It will meet a proven public need to fill a void in necessary services.
2. It will not have a negative impact on the general health, safety and convenience of
persons in the neighborhood, and fire service will be improved.
3. The request will not contribute to blight in the neighborhood.
4. Revenues to the city may increase.
5. It will not impact the adequate supply of light and air nor will it cause significant
noise, water or air pollution.
With the following conditions:
1. That the special use permit shall be a grant of use that runs with the land.
2. That any existing trees that are removed for the proposed expansion be replaced
along the southern property line to help buffer Prospect Park from the
development.
3. A combination berm and masonry wall totaling at least eight feet in height be
required to enclose the southern end of the facility
Planning Commission also recommended approval of for variance request A, considered
concurrently with Case No. SUP-02-02, a request for approval of a 10 foot rear yard setback
variance from the 15 foot rear yard requirement resulting in a 5 foot rear yard setback, for the
following reasons:
1. The request will not alter the essential character of the locality.
2. The split zoning of the property does constitute a hardship.
3. The request will not have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood or
community.
Finally, Planning Commission recommended approval of variance request B, considered
concurrently with Case No. SUP-02-02, a request for a variance to the maximum allowed
building coverage of 25% for property zoned, for the following reasons:
The request will not alter the essential character of the locality.
The split zoning of the property does constitute a hardship.
The request will not have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood or
community.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The one outstanding issue is regarding condition number three from the Planning Commission
hearing. Staff conferred with the City Attorney, and a conclusion was reached that a condition
cannot be attached that is not permitted by development regulations set forth in Chapter 26 of the
City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws.
Pursuant to Section 26-603.A., fences, walls or hedges above the height of 6 feet are prohibited.
A letter received from Arvada Fire Department on April 14, 2003, states that the 8 foot
wall would obstruct fire access to the southern end of the facility. The applicant has
already redesigned the layout of the proposed building to accommodate fire access
requirements to the site.
An alternative to the berm and wall is to shorten the length of the concrete fire access pad by a
few feet, and plant trees between the existing building and the proposed expansion. This would
provide a buffer to the park, and replace some of the existing trees that will be removed for the
new building. This alternative plan has been discussed with the Arvada Fire Department, and
they are willing to work with the applicant and staff to locate the trees so as to not interfere with
fire access requirements. Condition No. 2 of Planning Commission is not needed if this
alterative is accepted.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
None
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City has received a one-time application fee for the special use permit. If any development
occurs, the City will receive a one-time fee for a building permit application. There may be
economic gain through increased sales tax to the city as a result of the expansion.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Special Use Permit
"I move to approve Case No. SUP-02-02, a request for approval of a special use permit to expand

I. REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to allow expansion of an existing pet care
facility with a 10-foot rear yard setback variance from the 15-foot rear yard requirement and a variance to
the maximum allowed building coverage of 25% for property zoned Agriculture-Two (A-2)
The purpose of the request is to allow for the expansion of an existing pet care facility, improve
landscaping, and provide better fire access to the site. (Exhibit-1, LEtterrof Request:). The
applicant/owner does not reside on the property. The business is currently located in an existing building
and detached garage, all of which will remain on the property with the proposed expansion of facilities.
The property is split-zoned. The C-1 (north) portion of the property is approximately 31,671 square feet
in area, and the A-2 (south) portion is approximately 41,314 square feet in area (Exhibit 2,Vicunty"
Pursuant to Section 26-204 of the City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, pet care facilities and kennels are
not allowed uses in the C-1 zone district, and they are special uses in the A-2 zone district. With that in
mind, the review for this application has been limited to the A-2 zoned portion of the property. The
reason for this is since pet care facilities are not allowed in the C-1 zone district, and the proposed
expansion is limited to the A-2 portion, staff is not requiring the applicant to meet the development
standards for the C-1 zone district. All components of the facility except the access drive from W. 44 h
Avenue are located on the A-2 portion.
Two variance requests are included with the special use permit. A 10-foot rear yard setback variance
from the 15-foot rear yard setback requirement, and a variance to the 25% maximum allowable building
coverage. The applicant is proposing building coverage of approximately 29.8% for this proposal.
Although the kennel site improvements will occur on the A-2 portion, the applicant is proposing to plant
four street frees along W. 44°i Avenue, which is on the portion of the property zoned C-1. The applicant
and staff agreed that planting trees along W. 44`h Avenue would be more beneficial to the property than if
the trees were planted further back on the A-2 portion.
Special uses are "discretionary uses which are clearly shown to be void or deficient in an area and which,
if properly designed, developed, operated and maintained," may be approved. "The primary issues which
the planning commission and city council shall address are those related to justification of need and those
special design and operational considerations which mitigate potential detrimental impacts on the
surrounding land use, street and public service facilities."
The Planning Commission shall recommend whether the special use is dependent upon design,
management or operational aspects so that the SUP should be a personal grant of use to the owner or
whether the SUP runs with the land. If it is recommended to run with the land, then the following must
be decided: 1) if it is in perpetuity, 2) is personal to the applicant and may or may not be inherited or, 3) if
it should be granted for a defined period of time.
Three separate motions will be required for the individual case components.
H. CASE HISTORY
The property in question is approximately 72,984 square feet in area. The CA portion contains 31,671
square, and 41,314 square feet make up the A-2 piece. The property is presently zoned Agriculture-One
(A-2) and Commercial-One (C-1). The property is rectangular in shape and relatively flat. The Lees and
Baugh Ditch runs parallel to the southern property line. Prospect Park and Lake lie to the south and east
Planning Commission 2
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
of the property. To the west is the Joy Williams Barn, which was designated a historical landmark by the
Wheat Ridge City Council in August of 1998. To the north across W. 44`s Avenue are a trailer sales
business and a single-family residence.
As far back as 1971, City building records show the property being used as a pet care facility. There have
been a few different owners and some upgrades over that time span, but the use has not changed. Best
Friends has owned and operated the site since 1998.
Prior to the zoning revisions in February of 2001, a pet care facility/kennel was a permitted use in the A-2
zone district. Now any new pet care facility/kennel, and any expansion of an existing facility requires a
special use permit in the A-2 zone district.
III. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
A meeting for neighborhood input was held on September 17, 2002. The following persons were in
attendance:
Michael Pesicka - City Staff
Travis Crane - City Staff
Dan Charleton - Owner/applicant
Phil Edwards - 11297 W. 44' Avenue
Warren Johnson - 11600 W. 44"' Avenue
Corrine Deorio- 7990 Melrose Drive
The following issues were discussed:
-Concern over the property changing hands over the last twenty years.
-Neighbors are concerned about noise containment and waste disposal with regard to well-water issues.
-Area residents wanted to know what would be done with the exercise area in the front of the property?
IV. AGENCY REFERRALS
The Public Works Department has reviewed a drainage report and traffic analysis for the proposed
improvements. All public improvements are in place for the W. 44`s Avenue frontage.
Valley Water District can serve the property.
Arvada Fire Department has reviewed and approved the plans including the installation of a new fire
hydrant.
Jefferson County Department of Health and Environment has no issues with the physical improvements
to the property.
The Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department recommends that there should be a buffer between
the business and the greenbelt belt that is aesthetically pleasing, and that there should be no access to the
greenbelt through the business.
Agencies contacted but not responding: Qwest Communications, Xcel Energy, Lees & Baugh Ditch
Company, Wheat Ridge Code Enforcement, Wheat Ridge Police Department, Wheat Ridge Forestry
Division, Fruitdale Sanitation District.
Planning Commission
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
V. PROPOSED SITE PLAN
Attached in the plan set are sheets showing the location of new and existing buildings, a landscaping plan,
and building elevations of the proposed expansion (E it 1,Thh- Set).
The new building will be located to the east of the existing building. The proposed building will be
approximately 4,135 square feet in size, and 17 feet high. The new building will consist of 60 kennels,
laundry and kitchen facilities, and storage. The new structure is designed to minimize noise to adjacent
properties. An outdoor play area will remain between the existing structure and the new building.
The new building will be separated from the existing facility by 24 feet to accommodate Arvada Fire
Department requirements, which will improve fire access to the site over current conditions. In addition,
a new fire hydrant will be installed at the request of the fire department in the parking lot island.
A minimum of 20% landscaping is required in the A-2 zone district. Pursuant to Section 26-502(C)(4)
"For properties with existing development, landscaping, in addition to existing landscaping shall be
required on a percentage basis up to the maximum required for that district." Because this is a 55%
increase in building area, an 11 % increase in landscaping on the A-2 is required. There is 17% existing
on the property, bringing the new total to 28.7%.
Since the applicant is adding mainly kennel space, and not adding office or retail area, no additional
parking spaces will be required. The applicant is relocating four spaces to the C-1 zoned portion of the
property to accommodate the emergency access entrance required by the fire department. The relocated
spaces will meet current design standards for off-street parking stalls.
Architectural material proposed for the new building is split-faced, scored concrete block, and will be
colored to match the existing building. The roof will also be designed to match existing conditions.
VI. CRITERIA
Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a special use:
1. Will meet a proven public need in that it will fill a void in necessary services,
products or facilities especially appropriate at the location proposed, considering
available alternatives.
Pet care facilities/kennels are a common business in Wheat Ridge, and several kennels around the
City are currently undergoing some type of renovation. The applicant has indicated that not only
is the expansion needed for the increased demand in Wheat Ridge, but also for the significant
number of regional customers that the business attracts.
2. Will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare, safety and
convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed
use.
Adjacent properties are either commercial in nature, or are public use facilities, and will
experience minimal impact from the proposed expansion. The applicant is upgrading the facility
to reduce noise emission from the site, and improve access for emergency services.
Planning Commission
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
3. Will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of physical or
operational characteristics of the proposed use.
According to Colorado Urban Renewal Law, C.R.S. 31-25-101, a blighted area is one if it impairs
the sound growth of the municipality, retards the provision of housing, constitutes an economic or
social liability or is a menace to public health, safety, morals and welfare by the presence of the
following: deteriorated structures, inadequate street layout, faulty lot layout, unsafe conditions,
deterioration of the site, unusual topography, unmarketable title, fire danger, unsafe buildings,
environmental contamination, inadequate public improvements or utilities.
Staff concludes that if adequate provisions for protection of fire safety and the environmental
protection are ensured, than blight should not be an issue.
4. Will not adversely affect the adequate light and air, nor cause significant air, water
or noise pollution.
There may be a small increase in the noise, but the applicant has indicated that the new building
will reduce the amount of noise produced by the business. All waste from the site will be
disposed of through a modern sanitation system.
5. Is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The Comprehensive Plan Designation for the area designates the property as Transitional
Residential and Parks and Open Space
Desired Character and Locational Characteristics of Transitional Residential:
• Small retail uses and professional services with residential uses in the same structure.
• Transitional residential is located along higher traffic volume streets and serves as a buffer
between stable, primarily detached residential units and the commercial collector streets.
• Transitional residential uses provide a visual break from the more intensive retail commercial
uses and create an appearance of mixed residential and commercial uses rather than a solid
commercial strip.
Desired Attributes:
• Parking areas will be well buffered and landscaped.
• All uses have controlled access.
• Small, independently owned businesses that serve the above ground floor residents and
neighborhood residents.
• Well designed and maintained.
• Live/work developments; business owner may live in structure.
• No outdoor storage; screened trash areas.
• Development contains amenities including bike racks, benches, picnic tables, public art, and
pedestrian connections to surrounding neighborhoods.
• Depth of use is limited to the depth of one standard residential lot- no expansion into
residential neighborhoods.
Desired Uses:
Planning Commission 5 '
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
• Small convenience or specialty retail establishments (coffee shop, ice cream store, drugstore)
• Professional and convenience services (e.g., beauty parlor, tailor, bookkeepers, dance and/or
art studios)
• Daycare
• Residential
Desired Characteristics of Parks and Open Space: This category includes publicly owned and
managed developed parkland, recreation facilities, and undeveloped land utilized for active, passive,
and recreational purposes as well as for conservation. Park and recreation facilities are defined as
areas used for outdoor recreational activities. Open space is all known open space that is owned or
leased by the City and are kept stabilized with vegetative cover and are not covered by any structure
nor is the open space used for drives, parking or storage. Public open space can be used for hiking,
picnicking and other non-intensive outdoor recreation.
The facility is located along a major roadway and is limited to one access off of W. 44s' Avenue. The
use is not necessarily neighborhood oriented, but it does buffer the adjacent open space to the south
from W. 44" Avenue. This is an expansion of a use that has been in existence for over thirty years,
and given the predominant commercial character of W. 44 s Avenue, staff believes that the property is
more compatible with the surrounding uses than what the comprehensive plan designates.
6. Will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or unsafe parking,
loading, service or internal traffic conflicts to the detriment of persons whether on
or off the site.
A traffic analysis was provided to the Public Works Department, and it was determined that the
facility has the capacity to handle the proposed expansion, and will not negatively affect persons
are or off the site.
7. Will be appropriately designed, including setbacks, heights, parking, bulk,
buffering, screening and landscaping, so as to be in harmony and compatible with
the character of the surrounding areas and neighborhood, especially with adjacent
properties.
Staff has recommended, and the applicant has indicated that the design of the new building will
match the existing building, but without the metal siding of the existing structure. The applicant
is requesting a 10' rear yard setback variance from the 15' requirement. Essentially the new
building will be built in line with the existing structure. So any impact from the setback has
already been established by the existing building, which is set back less than 2' from the rear
property line.
Planting more trees will increase landscaping on the site, and existing landscaping will be cleaned
up and enhanced to be in balance with the surrounding park areas. If existing trees along the
southern property line that are removed to accommodate the new building, staff suggests the
applicant plant new trees just south of the southern property line to provide a buffer to the park
from the new development.
8. Will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks, schools and
other public facilities and services.
Planning Commission
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
The applicant is taking care to not impact adjacent parks. All utility agencies can serve with
improvements installed at the developer's expense. There should be minimal impact on
surrounding public streets.
9. History of compliance by the applicant with code requirements and prior
conditions, if any, regarding the subject property.
The property has been and is presently in compliance with all code requirements.
10. Ability of the applicant or any permitted successor-in-interest to continuously meet
the conditions of the proposed permit.
If conditions of an approved special use permit are violated, the permit can be revoked. If the
permit is revoked, then the new facility must be removed. It is in the applicant's best interest to
follow the terms and conditions of any approval received from the city.
11. Other factors relevant to the specific application.
There are no other relevant factors.
VII. VARIANCE CRITERIA
Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria to evaluate a variance request.
There are two separate variance requests, Request A is a request for a 10' rear yard setback variance from
the 15' rear yard setback requirement resulting in a 5' rear yard setback, and Request B is a variance to
the maximum allowed building coverage of 25 percent for property zoned Agriculture-Two (A-2).
Proposed building coverage on the property is 29.8%
For the purpose of this report, the variance criteria will only be listed once, and each request will be
addressed with regard to each criteria.
Can the property in question yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if
permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district
in which it is located?
Requests A & B: If the requests are denied, the property may still receive a reasonable return in
use. The property is currently utilized as a pet care facility, and this use may continue, regardless
of the outcome of these variances.
2. If the variance were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality?
Request A: The existing building is setback only 1' 10" from the rear property line so the impact
to the locality is already in place. The proposed addition will have less impact as it is farther
from the property line.
Request B: The proposed building coverage for the site is 29.8%. Only 4.8% over what is
allowed in the A-2 zone district so the impact to the site as a whole will be minimal.
Planning Commission
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
3. Does the particular physical surrounding, shape, or topographical condition of the
specific property result in and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished
from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out?
Request A & B: The property is rectangular in shape, and relatively flat. The C-1 zoning limits
the area that the applicant is allowed to build on. There are no alternatives for locating the
building elsewhere on the site that does not create a more difficult situation than what already
exists. Parking and landscaping would have to be removed in order to accommodate a change in
the design.
4. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having
an interest in the property?
Requests A & B: The applicant has not created the hardship. Due to the constraints that the split
zoning places on the property, the expansion can only occur on certain areas of the site.
Approximately one third of the property cannot be developed as a pet care facility.
5. Would the granting of the variance be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is
located, by among other things, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property, substantially increasing the congestion in public streets or
increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially
diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood?
Requests A & B: Granting of the variances will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other properties or improvements in the neighborhood. The adequate supply of light
and air will not be impaired. The variance requests will not increase congestion in public streets
or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety. The requests will not impair
property values in the neighborhood.
6. If criteria 1 through 5 are found, then would the granting of the variance result in a
benefit or contribution to the neighborhood or the community, as distinguished
from an individual benefit on the part of the applicant, or would granting of the
variance result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities?
Requests A & B: The variance requests will not result in a benefit or contribution to the
neighborhood or community. The requests will not result in the reasonable accommodation of a
person with disabilities.
VIII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that although the request is not consistent with the comprehensive plan, the use is
historical and more consistent with the character of the area than the comprehensive plan designation of
Transitional Residential. The request will not have a detrimental effect on person residing or working in
the neighborhood, as fire access and service is being improved. The request will fill a void in necessary
public services. Because the proposal will be appropriately designed to be in harmony with the
surrounding neighborhoods, and there will be economic benefits derived from the proposal, a
recommendation of APPROVAL is given.
Planning Commission Page 6
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
Upon review of the above variance requests, staff concludes that the above criteria are supportive of the
variance requests. Staff has found that there are unique circumstances attributed to these requests that
would warrant approval of the variances. Therefore, staff gives a recommendation of APPROVAL.

RE: Best Friends Pet Care, 11440 W 44`x' Ave.
Dear Mike,
4/10/03
It has been brought to our attention that Wheat Ridge City Council has addressed the
installation of a permanent sound barrier wall assembly connecting the existing structure
with the proposed new addition. If constructed this barrier would obstruct fire
department access requirements exceeding the one hundred fifty (150) feet of travel
distance required to reach all portions of the building. UFC 97 902.2.1. If the wall
assembly is mandatory to be installed by council, the access requirements around the
building may be modified if the building is provided with an approved automatic fire
sprinkler system that could prove to be cost prohibitive to the project. Please call me if
you have any questions.

Dear Property Owner:
This is to inform you of Case No. SUP-02-02 which is a request for approval of a Special Use
Permit to allow expansion of pet care facility with a 10 foot rear yard setback variance from the
15 foot rear yard setback requirement resulting in a 5 foot rear yard setback and a variance to the
maximum allowed building coverage of 25 percent for property zoned Agricultural-Two (A-2)
and located immediately south of 11440 West 44" Avenue. This case will be heard by the Wheat
Ridge City Council in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Complex at 7500 West 29th
Avenue. The meeting will be held on April 28, 2003 at 7:00 p.m.
As an area resident or interested party, you have the right to attend this Public Hearing and/or submit
written comments. If you are a property owner within 100 feet of this property, you may have the
right to file a legal protest against the application which would require 3/4 majority vote of City
Council to approve the request. A copy of the protest rights section of the code is enclosed.
If you have any questions or desire to review any plans, please contact the Planning Division at 303-
235-2846. Thank you.
Planning Division.

Dear Mr. Leeds:
Please be advised that at its meeting of April 3, 2003, the Planning Commission recommended -approval of
Case No. SUP-02-02, a request for approval of a special use permit to expand an existing pet care facility for
property zoned Agricultural-Two and located at 11440 West 44" Avenue, for the following reasons:
1. It will meet a proven public need to fill a void in necessary services.
2. It will not have a negative impact on the general health, safety and convenience of persons in
the neighborhood, and fire service will be improved.
3. The request will not contribute to blight in the neighborhood.
4. Revenues to the city may increase.
5. It will not impact the adequate supply of light and air nor will it cause significant noise, water
or air pollution.
With the following conditions:
1. That the special use permit shall be a grant of use that runs with the land.
2. That any existing trees that are removed for the proposed expansion be replaced along the
southern property line to help buffer Prospect Park from the development.
3. A combination berm and masonry wall totaling at least eight feet in height be required to
enclose the southern end of the facility from the existing metal buildings to the edge of the
proposed masonry building to provide a noise buffer to the park.
Planning Commission also recommended approval for variance request A, considered concurrently with Case
No. SUP-02-02, a request for approval of a 10-foot rear yard setback variance from the 15-foot rear yard
setback requirement resulting in a 5-foot rear yard setback from property zoned Agricultural-Two and located
at 11440 West 44`s Avenue, for the following reasons:
1. The request will not alter the essential character of the locality.
2. The split zoning of the property does constitute a hardship.
3. The request will not have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood or community.

7. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Case No. SUP-02-02: An application filed by Intergroup Architects for Best Friends
Pet Care for approval of a Special Use Permit to allow expansion of a pet care facility
with (A) a 10-foot rear yard setback variance from the 15-foot rear yard setback
requirement resulting in a 5-foot rear yard setback and (B) a variance to the maximum
allowed building coverage of 25 percent for property zoned Agricultural-Two and
located immediately south of 11440. West 44th Avenue.
This case was presented by Alan White. He advised the Commission there was jurisdiction to
hear the case. He reviewed the staff report, digital presentation and entered all pertinent
documents into the record which were accepted by Chair WEISZ. Staff recommended
approval of the application for reasons outlined in the staff report.
In answer to a question from Commissioner McNAMEE, Alan White stated that the applicant
would not be required to plant trees outside of the property line on the south.

2000 West Littleton Boulevard, Littleton
Mr. Leeds, architect for the applicant, was sworn in by Chair WEISZ. In response to a question
from Commissioner McMILLIN, Mr. Leeds stated that there is adequate room for additional
parking should it become necessary. He commented, however, that existing parking spaces are
greatly under-utilized. He also stated that the proposed addition would be constructed of pre-
colored concrete block rather than brick as stated in the staff report. He stated that buffering
already exists on the southern property line and additional plantings will be installed.
In answer to a question from Commissioner DAVIS, Mr. Leeds stated the addition would
increase kennel spaces from 88 to 148. Existing kennels have both indoor and outdoor space.
The new addition is designed to have the kennel spaces completely indoors in order to provide
better temperature control as well as to reduce noise.
Daniel Charleton
11440 West 44th Avenue
Mr. Charlton, Best Friends Kennels, was sworn in by Chair WEISZ. He stated the front portion
of the new building will be used for operational purposes and not for public access.
Commissioner DAVIS asked if any additional buffering was planned for the west property line.
Mr. Charleton explained that there is an 8-foot fence on the west and additional landscaping
would not be visible to the public. He stated that additional beautification would be provided
along 44th Avenue.
Commissioner McMILLIN asked if the applicant had considered rezoning the property thereby
eliminating the need for a special use permit. Mr. Charleton stated they had considered
rezoning but decided to stay with the existing zoning and keep the kennel on the portion of the
property which is zoned A-2. He also stated that part of the reasoning for not pursuing a
Planning Commission Page 2
April 3, 2003
rezone or planned commercial development included a desire to proceed as quickly as possible
on the expansion in order to meet immediate needs of the business.
Alan White explained that kennels require a special use permit in all zone districts.
Commissioner McMILLIN expressed concern about the split zoning which requires animals to
be placed on the south side of the property which backs up to Prospect Park. He asked the
applicant if he would consider constructing an 8-foot masonry wall between the buildings to
provide buffering to the park. Mr. Charleton replied that they would consider some type of
additional buffering.
In response to a question from Commissioner DAVIS, Mr. Charleton replied that sales tax is
collected on retail sales of food, toys, etc. Sales tax is not collected on kennel fees.
It was moved by Commissioner DAVIS and seconded by Commissioner McMILLIN to
recommend approval of Case No. SUP-02-02, a request for approval of a special use
permit to expand an existing pet care facility for property zoned Agricultural-Two and
located at 11440 West 44`n Avenue, for the following reasons:
1. It will meet a proven public need to fill a void in necessary services.
2. It will not have a negative impact on the general health, safety and convenience of
persons in the neighborhood, and fire service will be improved.
3. The request will not contribute to blight in the neighborhood.
4. Revenues to the city may increase.
5. It will not impact the adequate supply of light and air nor will it cause significant
noise, water or air pollution. DRAFT
With the following conditions:
1. That the special use permit shall be a grant of use that runs with the land.
2. That any existing trees that are removed for the proposed expansion be replaced
along the southern property line to help buffer Prospect Park from the
development.
Commissioner McMILLIN offered a friendly amendment to add a third condition as
follows: A combination berm and masonry wall totaling at least eight feet in height be
required to enclose the southern end of the facility from the existing metal buildings to the
edge of the proposed masonry building to provide a noise buffer to the park.
Commissioner STITES commented that the existing 4-6. foot berm along the south side of the
property should provide sufficient buffering.
Commissioner McMILLIN stated that he proposed the amendment because he believes that
public parks should be protected from as much noise as possible.
The motion passed 6-1 with Commissioner WITT voting no and Commissioner
PLUMMER absent.
Planning Commission Page 3
April 3, 2003
It was moved by Commissioner McNAMEE and seconded by Commissioner STITES to
recommend approval for variance request A, considered concurrently with Case No.
SUP-02-02, a request for approval of a 10-foot rear yard setback variance from the 15-
foot rear yard setback requirement resulting in a 5-foot rear yard setback from property
zoned Agricultural-Two and located at 11440 West 44th Avenue, for the following reasons:
1. The request will not alter the essential character of the locality.
2. The split zoning of the property does constitute a hardship.
3. The request will not have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood or
community.
Commissioner McMILLIN stated he would vote against the motion because the applicant could
still build a 52-unit addition to his kennel without going into the setback. Secondly, the
variance would impact a public park.
The motion passed 6-1 with Commissioner McMILLIN voting no and Commissioner
PLUMMER absent.
It was moved by Commissioner DAVIS and seconded by Commissioner McMILLIN to
recommend approval of variance request B, considered concurrently with Case No. SUP-
02-02, a request for a variance to the maximum allowed buildin11 coverage of 25% for
property zoned Agricultural-Two and located at 11440 West 44t Avenue for the following
reasons:
1. The request will not alter the essential character of the locality.
2. The split zoning of the property does constitute a hardship.
3. The request will not have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood or
locality.
The motion passed 7-0 with Commissioner PLUMMER absent. PRAFT
B. Case No. ZOA-03-04: An ordinance amending the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws in its
entirety changing references to "Planning and Development" to "Community
Development."
Alan White reviewed the staff report.
Following brief discussion, Chair WEISZ asked if there were individuals present who wished
to address this matter.
Robert Wallace

Mr. Wallace was sworn in by Chair WEISZ. He asked for clarification on the name change.
He asked if this meant that the Wheat Ridge Urban Renewal Authority would now be
associated with the Planning Commission.

SUP-02-02/Best Friends
L REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to allow expansion of an existing pet care
facility with a 10-foot rear yard setback variance from the 15-foot rear yard requirement and a variance to
the maximum allowed building coverage of 25% for property zoned Agriculture-Two (A-2)
The purpose of the request is to allow for the expansion of an existing pet care facility, improve
landscaping, and provide better fire access to the site. (Exhibit 1, Letter of Request). The
applicantlowner does not reside on the property. The business is currently located in an existing building
and detached garage, all of which will remain on the property with the proposed expansion of facilities.
The property is split-zoned. The C-1 (north) portion of the property is approximately 31,671 square feet
in area, and the A-2 (south) portion is approximately 41,314 square feet in area.(Exhibit 2,Uicinity Map).
Pursuant to Section 26-204 of the City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, pet care facilities and kennels are
not allowed uses in the C-1 zone district, and they are special uses in the A-2 zone district. With that in
mind, the review for this application has been limited to the A-2 zoned portion of the property. The
reason for this is since pet care facilities are not allowed in the C-1 zone district, and the proposed
expansion is limited to the A-2 portion, staff is not requiring the applicant to meet the development
standards for the C-1 zone district. All components of the facility except the access drive from W. 4401
Avenue are located on the A-2 portion.
to
Two variance requests are included with the special use permit. A$-foot rear yard setback requirement
from the 15-foot rear yard setback requirement, and a variance to the 25% maximum allowable building
coverage. The applicant is proposing building coverage of approximately 29.8% for this proposal.
Although the kennel site improvements will occur on the A-2 portion, the applicant is proposing to plant
four street trees along W. 446' Avenue, which is on the portion of the property zoned C-1. The applicant
and staff agreed that planting trees along W. 44 ° Avenue would be more beneficial to the property than if
the trees were planted further back on the A-2 portion.
Special uses are "discretionary uses which are clearly shown to be void or deficient in an area and which,
if properly designed, developed, operated and maintained," may be approved. "The primary issues which
the planning commission and city council shall address are those related to justification of need and those
special design and operational considerations which mitigate potential detrimental impacts on the
surrounding land use, street and public service facilities."
The Planning Commission shall recommend whether the special use is dependent upon design,
management or operational aspects so that the SUP should be a personal grant of use to the owner or
whether the SUP runs with the land. If it is recommended to run with the land, then the following must
be decided: 1) if it is in perpetuity, 2) is personal to the applicant and may or may not be inherited or, 3) if
it should be granted for a defined period of time.
Three separate motions will be required for the individual case components.
II. CASE HISTORY
The property in question is approximately 72,984 square feet in area. The C-I portion contains 31,671
square, and 41,314 square feet makeup the A-2 piece. The property is presently zoned Agriculture-One
(A-2) and Commercial-One (C-1). The property is rectangular in shape and relatively flat. The Lees and
Baugh Ditch runs parallel to the southern property line. Prospect Park and Lake lie to the south and east
Planning Commission 2
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
of the property. To the west is the Joy Williams Barn, which was designated a historical landmark by the
Wheat Ridge City Council in August of 1998. To the north across W. 44°i Avenue are a trailer sales
business and a single-family residence.
As far back as 1971, City building records show the property being used as a pet care facility. There have
been a few different owners and some upgrades over that time span, but the use has not changed. Best
Friends has owned and operated the site since 1998.
Prior to the zoning revisions in February of 2001, a pet care facility/kennel was a permitted use in the A-2
zone district. Now any new pet care facility/kennel, and any expansion of an existing facility requires a
special use permit in the A-2 zone district.
III. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
A meeting for neighborhood input was held on September 17, 2002. The following persons were in
attendance:
Michael Pesicka - City Staff
Travis Crane - City Staff
Dan Charleton - Owner/applicant
Phil Edwards - 11297 W. 44`" Avenue
Warren Johnson- 11600 W. 44h Avenue
Corrine Deorio- 7990 Melrose Drive
The following issues were discussed:
-Concern over the property changing hands over the last twenty years.
-Neighbors are concerned about noise containment and waste disposal with regard to well-water issues.
-Area residents wanted to know what would be done with the exercise area in the front of the property?
IV. AGENCY REFERRALS
The Public Works Department has reviewed a drainage report and traffic analysis for the proposed
improvements. All public improvements are in place for the W. 44ffi Avenue frontage.
Valley Water District can serve the property.
Arvada Fire Department has reviewed and approved the plans including the installation of a new fire
hydrant.
Jefferson County Department of Health and Environment has no issues with the physical improvements
to the property.
The Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department recommends that there should be a buffer between
the business and the greenbelt belt that is aesthetically pleasing, and that there should be no access to the
greenbelt through the business.
Agencies contacted but not responding: Qwest Communications, Xcel Energy, Lees & Baugh Ditch
Company, Wheat Ridge Code Enforcement, Wheat Ridge Police Department, Wheat Ridge Forestry
Division, Fruitdale Sanitation District.
Planning Commission
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
V. PROPOSED SITE PLAN
Attached in the plan set are sheets showing the location of new and existing buildings, a landscaping plan,
and building elevations of the proposed expansion (Exhibit 3, Plan Set).
The new building will be located to the east of the existing building. The proposed building will be
approximately 4,135 square feet in size, and 17 feet high. The new building will consist of 60 kennels,
laundry and kitchen facilities, and storage. The new structure is designed to minimize noise to adjacent
properties. An outdoor play area will remain between the existing structure and the new building.
The new building will be separated from the existing facility by 24 feet to accommodate Arvada Fire
Department requirements, which will improve fire access to the site over current conditions. In addition,
a new fire hydrant will be installed at the request of the fire department in the parking lot island.
A minimum of 20% landscaping is required in the A-2 zone district. Pursuant to Section 26-502(C)(4)
"For properties with existing development, landscaping, in addition to existing landscaping shall be
required on a percentage basis up to the maximum required for that district." Because this is a 55%
increase in building area, an 11% increase in landscaping on the A-2 is required. There is 17% existing
on the property, bringing the new total to 28.7%.
No additional parking spaces will be required. Because the applicant is adding mainly kennel space, and
not adding office or retail area, the applicant will not be required to add any additional parking spaces.
Four parking spaces will be relocated to accommodate the emergency access entrance required by the fire
department.
Architectural materials proposed for the new building are brick, and will be colored to match the existing
building. The roof will also be designed to match existing conditions.
VI. CRITERIA
Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a special use:
1. Will meet a proven public need in that it will fill a void in necessary services,
products or facilities especially appropriate at the location proposed, considering
available alternatives.
Pet care facilities/kennels are a common business in Wheat Ridge, and several kennels around the
City are currently undergoing some type of renovation. The applicant has indicated that not only
is the expansion needed for the increased demand in Wheat Ridge, but also for the significant
number of regional customers that the business attracts.
2. Will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare, safety and
convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed
use.
Adjacent properties are either commercial in nature, or are public use facilities, and will
experience minimal impact from the proposed expansion. The applicant is upgrading the facility
to reduce noise emission from the site, and improve access for emergency services.
Planning Commission 4
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
3. Will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of physical or
operational characteristics of the proposed use.
According to Colorado Urban Renewal Law, C.R.S. 31-25-101, a blighted area is one if it impairs
the sound growth of the municipality, retards the provision of housing, constitutes an economic or
social liability or is a menace to public health, safety, morals and welfare by the presence of the
following: deteriorated structures, inadequate street layout, faulty lot layout, unsafe conditions,
deterioration of the site, unusual topography, unmarketable title, fire danger, unsafe buildings,
environmental contamination, inadequate public improvements or utilities.
Staff concludes that if adequate provisions for protection of fire safety and the environmental
protection are ensured, than blight should not be an issue.
4. Will not adversely affect the adequate light and air, nor cause significant air, water
or noise pollution.
There may be a small increase in the noise, but the applicant has indicated that the new building
will reduce the amount of noise produced by the business. All waste from the site will be
disposed of through a modem sanitation system.
5. Is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The Comprehensive Plan Designation for the area designates the property as Transitional
Residential and Parks and Open Space
Desired Character and Locational Characteristics of Transitional Residential:
• Small retail uses and professional services with residential uses in the same structure.
• Transitional residential is located along higher traffic volume streets and serves as a buffer
between stable, primarily detached residential units and the commercial collector streets.
• Transitional residential uses provide a visual break from the more intensive retail commercial
uses and create an appearance of mixed residential and commercial uses rather than a solid
commercial strip.
Desired Attributes:
• Parking areas will be well buffered and landscaped.
• All uses have controlled access.
• Small, independently owned businesses that serve the above ground floor residents and
neighborhood residents.
• Well designed and maintained.
• Live/work developments; business owner may live in structure.
• No outdoor storage; screened trash areas.
• Development contains amenities including bike racks, benches, picnic tables, public art, and
pedestrian connections to surrounding neighborhoods.
• Depth of use is limited to the depth of one standard residential lot- no expansion into
residential neighborhoods.
Desired Uses:
Planning Commission
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
• Small convenience or specialty retail establishments (coffee shop, ice cream store, drugstore)
• Professional and convenience services (e.g., beauty parlor, tailor, bookkeepers, dance and/or
artstudios)
• Daycare
• Residential
Desired Characteristics of Parks and Open Space: This category includes publicly owned and
managed developed parkland, recreation facilities, and undeveloped land utilized for active, passive,
and recreational purposes as well as for conservation. Park and recreation facilities are defined as
areas used for outdoor recreational activities. Open space is all known open space that is owned or
leased by the City and are kept stabilized with vegetative cover and are not covered by any structure
nor is the open space used for drives, parking or storage. Public open space can be used for hiking,
picnicking and other non-intensive outdoor recreation.
The facility is located along a major roadway and is limited to one access off of W. 44`h Avenue. The
use is not necessarily neighborhood oriented, but it does buffer the adjacent open space to the south
from W. 44 h Avenue. This is an expansion of a use that has been in existence for over thirty years,
and given the predominant commercial character of W. 44'h Avenue, staff believes that the property is
more compatible with the surrounding uses than what the comprehensive plan designates.
6. Will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or unsafe parking,
loading, service or internal traffic conflicts to the detriment of persons whether on
or off the site.
A traffic analysis was provided to the Public Works Department, and it was determined that the
facility has the capacity to handle the proposed expansion, and will not negatively affect persons
p or off the site.
7. Will be appropriately designed, including setbacks, heights, parking, bulk,
buffering, screening and landscaping, so as to be in harmony and compatible with
the character of the surrounding areas and neighborhood, especially with adjacent
properties.
Staff has recommended, and the applicant has indicated that the design of the new building will
match the existing building, but without the metal siding of the existing structure. The applicant
is requesting a 10' rear yard setback variance from the 15' requirement. Essentially the new
building will be built in line with the existing structure. So any impact from the setback has
already been established by the existing building, which is set back less than 2' from the rear
property line.
Planting more trees will increase landscaping on the site, and existing landscaping will be cleaned
up and enhanced to be in balance with the surrounding park areas. If existing trees along the
southern property line that are removed to accommodate the new building, staff suggests the
applicant plant new trees just south of the southern property line to provide a buffer to the park
from the new development.
8. Will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks, schools and
other public facilities and services.
Planning Commission 6
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
The applicant is taking care to not impact adjacent parks. All utility agencies can serve with
improvements installed at the developer's expense. There should be minimal impact on
surrounding public streets.
9. History of compliance by the applicant with code requirements and prior
conditions, if any, regarding the subject property.
The property has been and is presently in compliance with all code requirements.
10. Ability of the applicant or any permitted successor-in-interest to continuously meet
the conditions of the proposed permit.
If conditions of an approved special use permit are violated, the permit can be revoked. If the
permit is revoked, then the new facility must be removed. It is in the applicant's best interest to
follow the terms and conditions of any approval received from the city.
11. Other factors relevant to the specific application.
There are no other relevant factors.
VII. VARIANCE CRITERIA
Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria to evaluate a variance request.
There are two separate variance requests, Request A is a request for a 10' rear yard setback variance from
the 15' rear yard setback requirement resulting in a 5' rear yard setback, and Request B is a variance to
the maximum allowed building coverage of 25 percent for property zoned Agriculture-Two (A-2).
Proposed building coverage on the property is 29.8%
For the purpose of this report, the variance criteria will only be listed once, and each request will be
addressed with regard to each criteria.
1. Can the property in question yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if
permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district
in which it is located?
Requests A & B: If the requests are denied, the property may still receive a reasonable return in
use. The property is currently utilized as a pet care facility, and this use may continue, regardless
of the outcome of these variances.
2. If the variance were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality?
Request A: The existing building is setback only 1' l0" from the rear property line so the impact
to the locality is already in place. The proposed addition will have less impact as it is farther
from the property line.
Request B: The proposed building coverage for the site is 29.8%. Only 4.8% over what is
allowed in the A-2 zone district so the impact to the site as a whole will be minimal.
Planning Commission
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
3. Does the particular physical surrounding, shape, or topographical condition of the
specific property result in and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished
from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out?
Request A & B: The property is rectangular in shape, and relatively flat. The C-1 zoning limits
the area that the applicant is allowed to build on. There are no alternatives for locating the
building elsewhere on the site that does not create a more difficult situation than what already
exists. Parking and landscaping would have to be removed in order to accommodate a change in
the design.
4. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having
an interest in the property?
Requests A & B: The applicant has not created the hardship. Due to the constraints that the split
zoning places on the property, the expansion can only occur on certain areas of the site.
Approximately one third of the property cannot be developed as a pet care facility.
5. Would the granting of the variance be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is
located, by among other things, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property, substantially increasing the congestion in public streets or
increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially
diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood?
Requests A & B: Granting of the variances will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other properties or improvements in the neighborhood. The adequate supply of light
and air will not be impaired. The variance requests will not increase congestion in public streets
or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety. The requests will not impair
property values in the neighborhood.
6. If criteria 1 through 5 are found, then would the granting of the variance result in a
benefit or contribution to the neighborhood or the community, as distinguished
from an individual benefit on the part of the applicant, or would granting of the
variance result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities?
Requests A & B: The variance requests will not result in a benefit or contribution to the
neighborhood or community. The requests will not result in the reasonable accommodation of a
person with disabilities.
VIII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that although the request is not consistent with the comprehensive plan, the use is
historical and more consistent with the character of the area than the comprehensive plan designation of
Transitional Residential. The request will not have a detrimental effect on person residing or working in
the neighborhood, as fire access and service is being improved. The request will fill a void in necessary
public services. Because the proposal will be appropriately designed to be in harmony with the
surrounding neighborhoods, and there will be economic benefits derived from the proposal, a
recommendation of APPROVAL is given.
Planning Commission Page 6
SUP-02-02/Best Friends
Upon review of the above variance requests, staff concludes that the above criteria are supportive of the
variance requests. Staff has found that there are unique circumstances attributed to these requests that
would warrant approval of the variances. Therefore, staff gives a recommendation of APPROVAL.
IX. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS
Case No. SUP-02-02
Option A:
"I move to recommend approval of Case No. SUP-02-02, a request for approval of a special use permit to
expand an existing pet care facility for property zoned Agriculture-Two and located at 11440 W. 44"
Avenue, for the following reasons:
1. It will meet a proven public need to fill a void in necessary services.
2. It will not have a negative impact on the general health, safety and convenience
of persons in the neighborhood, and fire service will be improved.
3. The request will not contribute to blight in the neighborhood.
4. Revenues to the city may increase.
5. It will not impact the adequate supply of light and air, nor will it cause significant
noise, water or air pollution.
With the following conditions:
1. That the special use permit shall be a grant of use that runs with the land.
2. That any existing trees that are removed for the proposed expansion be replaced
along the southern property line to help buffer Prospect Park from the development."
Option B:
"I move to recommend denial for Case No. SUP-02-02, a request for approval of a special use permit to
expand an existing pet care facility for property zoned Agriculture-Two and located at 11440 W. 44t,
Ave, for the following reasons:
1."
VARIANCE REQUESTS

Wheat Ridge, Colorado
Narrative on Property Improvements
In this document we will outline our objectives and plans for The Pet Village, and also will outline
our logic regarding certain variance requests, which are in our submittal.
Our Objectives
To ensure that our pet care services remain both competitive and responsive to the needs of
our guests, Best Friends wishes to make several improvements to our existing pet care center
facility. These improvements are also aimed at:
• Shielding our main outdoor exercise area from direct public view and access.
• Improving fire department access to all parts of the property, and improving water
access for fire department usage
• Improving landscape presentation along the 44`h Avenue streetscape
• Reducing noise
Our Plan
We will build a new, totally enclosed kennel building to house 60 pet guests.
This building will be located parallel with our easterly property line, and will (as shown on
the proposed site plan provide a buffer and boundary for the exercise area between its
proposed location and the existing kennel structure.
The new kennel will feature fully air-conditioned and heated individual living quarters,
connected to individual run areas, which will be ventilated and kept at ambient temperatures,
under roof and within walls. The combination of controlled temperature
living/eating/sleeping rooms combined with the ambient temperature runs will provide the
dogs with a good combination of environments in keeping with their home experience. This
has proven very healthy for pets under our care in many of our facilities around the country.
The enclosing walls will minimize normal kennel noises
Adjoining the new kennel building is a wing that will provide space for a kitchen and laundry
room to serve the 60 new guest quarters, and a small storage room.
The new building will be separated from our existing kenneling structure, and there will be
clear access of over 24 feet in width between the structures to enable fire department access
to all areas of the property and buildings - a substantial upgrade over current access.
Variance Requests
There are three areas of potential variance request. They are:
1. Variance to setback requirement from property line at rear of A2 zoned portion of lot.
2. Variance to building coverage ratio requirement on A2 zoned portion of lot.
Request # 1. Set-back from property line
We have placed our proposed building inside the required setback for these reasons:
• No abutment onto residential or commercial property - no visibility issues, and property
is adjacent to Lees and Baugh ditch.
• Noise abatement and pet security from outside play yard
• Economic and customer service advantage of eight additional kennel suites.
• Opportunity to serve more pet guests in the enclosed, noise-abated premises during slow
to moderate occupancy periods (cuts noise from property, provides better care for the
pets
• Existing building sits within set-back from property line - consistent presentation
Based on these reasons, we feel that building construction within the set-back area poses no visual,
auditory or physical impediment to the community; and the additional square footage affords us the
opportunity to both better serve the local community and improve the economics of this
construction project.
Request # 2. Building Coverage Ratio
The proposed building, being restricted to the A2 zoned parcel of our lot, may/may not run over
the maximum coverage ratio for that zoned portion of the lot (final coverage analysis will be
reviewed by Planning as part of formal review of our recent re-submittal. Despite this possibility, we
are well within coverage ratio requirements for the overall lot (combined zoning parcels). If the final
submittal is still outside of coverage ratio requirements, we believe the project should still be
approved as submitted for these reasons.
The A2 parcel is at the rear of the lot and is not easily visible to the street. Landscape
presentation on the A2 parcel would be wasted effort with no resulting presentation
improvement to the overall property, or to the community, as viewed from the street.
Enclosing pets in a tempered environment, improving security for pet guests, and noise
abatement are superceding objectives and community needs as compared to landscape,
2
or open land coverage ratios. There is no better community service on the A2 parcel
than to provide improved buildings for pet care and housing.
Landscape improvements (see Decision Logic 3) are better placed on the C1 zoned
parcel to benefit community beautification.
If required, Best Friends Pet Care could remove the old well building enclosure on the tree
island area in the parking lot/driveway to reduce overall building coverage on A2.
The proposed new structure and the existing garage are all necessary elements of providing
adequate space for lodging, storage, cleaning, and utility service compartments. We believe,
based on many years experience with numerous operating facilities, that our present submittal is
sound and proper to the community and operational need.
Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to contact me for further discussion and details at
your convenience.

added to the site data table on Sheet 1. We have provided four new
streetscape evergreen trees along 44th Avenue. This exceeds a 12%

Memorandum
mow
TO: Intergroup Architects/Best Friends Kennel
FROM: Michael Pesicka
SUBJECT: Special Use Permit Review for Best Friends Kennel
DATE: December 16, 2002
Please make the following corrections and revisions to the submittal:
General Notes: The property is split-zoned with A-2 on the south and C-1 on the north. Kennels are
an allowed use (special use) on the A-2 portion, but not on the C-1 portion. Therefore, all of the
improvements must be confined to the A-2 zoned portion of the parcel. Development standards for the
A-2 zone district shall be applied to this review, and we can not require any additional parking or
landscaping on the C-1 portion of the lot.
1. Pursuant to Section 26-614B Development Standards: Maximum Building Coverage for the A-2
zone district is 25%. The existing and proposed addition calculate out to roughly 30% building
coverage. Please provide your own calculations for building coverage for the A-2 zoned area. Since
we are limiting the expansion to the A-2 portion of the lot, then we must take into account the A-2
development standards. A variance to the maximum building coverage must be processed with this
application.
2. Pursuant to Section 26-502(C).4 "For properties with existing development, landscaping, in
addition to existing landscaping shall be required on a percentage basis...... up to the maximum
required for that district." Because this is a 63%o increase in building area, a 12% increase in
landscaping on the A-2 parcel shall be required. Please provide calculations of the square footage
totals for landscaping on the A-2 portion of the lot.
All required variances, including the rear setback request, can be processed concurrently. The
proposed 10' variance request to the rear lot line will not receive staff support.
Site Plan:
On the plan please show the zoning line that separates the property into A-2 and C-1. All proposed
new construction, landscaping and parking must occur on the A-2 zoned area. Please provide the
square footage breakdown of each separate zone district on the lot. According to our calculations,
the A-2 zoning extends approximately 225 north of the southern property line.
2. Please label all adjacent properties with correct zoning. Also label the subject property with the
correct zoning for the northern portion and the southern portion.
3. Please have the Site Plan reflect all current conditions. Are you counting the dog runs as
landscaping on the landscape plan? Does sod exist in the dog runs?
4. In the title, please move "Best Friends Kennel" to the top and, move "Site Development Plan"
underneath that.
Provide a breakdown (in square feet) of the interior uses of existing and proposed buildings. We
need this information to accurately assess how much if any, new parking and landscaping shall have
to be provided on the A-2 zoned area. Please provide the value of the proposed improvements.
6. For both existing and proposed provide a table with a breakdown in square feet and percentage of
building coverage, landscaping, paving, kennel runs, and other hard surfaces. This will be for the A-
2 portion only.
7. Please check to see that the scale is accurate. The property lines do not scale out to the dimensions
shown on the site plan.
8. Please provide distances and setbacks for all existing and proposed structures.
9. Parking spaces shown on the plan do not scale to a 9 foot width. I scaled them to be 8 feet wide.
Please revise to show accurate dimensions. The scale was off approximately 2 feet.
10. Please add a table showing any new landscaping, with location, type (species name), quantities,
percentage of new landscaped areas (living/non-living).
11. Please provide a color detail of the elevations, and provide the height for each elevation. If you are
proposing any new wall or freestanding lights please provide location and detail of light, type of light
source and luminaries.
12. Please label all adjacent properties with proper zone districts.
Under Key Notes: No. 6, please change from "accessible" to "handicapped accessible."
Please call me with any questions at: 303-235-2845.
Thank you.

• All requirements of the Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act, under the
Colorado Department of Agriculture, must be complied with for this
kennel facility.
. The proposed kennel addition should be designed so that waste
materials can be flushed directly into the public sewer system. The
animal waste should not impact the surrounding ground surface.
• Since the proposed addition will be located east of the existing
building, it is very likely that noise levels from the expanded kennel
would not adversely impact the residential property to the west.
However, if noise is a concern then a study can be conducted to verify
that the levels from the expansion will not exceed the allowable
residential levels for that property. This Department would be available
to review such a report if it were conducted.

CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING
November 20, 2002
The meeting was called.to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chair Coates. Commissioners present: Mary
Margaret Coates, Marion Garramone, Bunny Gordon, Jack Rose, Floyd Sasa, Jean Schilling,
Susan Seeds. Commissioners Absent: Charles Spielman. Staff present: Joyce Manwaring, Parks
Director; Ann Lazzeri, Secretary
ITEM 1 - DETERMINATION OF QUORUM
Chair Coates declared a quorum present.
TTF,M 2 - APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM Ortoher 16, 2002 - It was moved by Jack
Rose and seconded by Floyd Sasa to approve the minutes of October 16, 2002, as presented.
The motion passed unanimously.
ITEM 3 - INTRODUCTION OF GUF,STS - There were no guests.
The Commissioners reviewed the park naming process and policy. Comments were made that
there didn't seem to be reason to change the policy.
Susan Seeds suggested that staff keep a running list of park naming ideas received by the city.
Further, it might be a good idea to have a booth at the Carnation Festival to receive input for
possible park names. Also, when consideration for a park name comes up, suggestions could be
requested at First Monday meetings.
ITEM 5 - 2003 BUDGET - Joyce Manwaring stated that, since the sales tax issue was defeated,
it has become necessary for the city to make several budget cuts. The Parks and Recreation
Department will probably be affected in areas such as Performance in the Parks, flower plantings,
parks maintenance and parks construction, street tree plantings as well as other areas. Personnel
layoffs will also be proposed as well as an increase in some fees.
Suggestions were made that volunteers could help maintain flower beds, etc. Joyce commented
that this would be nice but wanted the Commission to be aware she doesn't have the staff to
coordinate large-scale volunteer projects.
Suggestions were also made that the annual Boards and Commissions Dinner could be a potluck
rather than having it catered.

to cancel the December meeting with the provision that, should something urgent arise,
a meeting would be called. The motion passed unanimously.
Susan Seeds requested to see a list of plantings planned for the Davis property. Joyce
Manwaring will provide this list.
• Davis property is 80% complete. The apartments will install a wrought iron fence to the west
which will open up the view from the apartments as well as from Jay Street. The city
contributed some money toward the fence. The city is working with Christopher House
nursing home on the north in regard to creating an access into the park. Planting will take
place in the spring. Staff is still looking into nontraditional playground equipment.
44th and Kendall design process is now budgeted for 2004.

• The Open Space Management Plan is now available on CD. CD's were distributed to
members of the Commission.
Manwaring field is progressing and one field should be playable next year.
• City Council is no longer requiring monthly reports and Joyce Manwaring asked if the
Commission members would still like to receive them. There was a consensus that the
Commission would like to continue receiving a monthly report giving highlights of Parks and
Recreation Department activity.
There are four active property acquisitions: property west of 44a' and Kendall; two
properties directly south of the Recreation center and the Arvex property.
Tabor Lake fence project should occur this year.
City Council approved applying for a joint venture grant for trail replacement.
Susan Seeds reported that her husband and a neighbor reported seeing a bald eagle at Tabor Lake.
A neighbor also asked Susan what happened to the tree on the island in Tabor Lake. Joyce
Manwaring will look into this.
Several people in Susan's Pilate class asked about the availability of a piece of equipment used in
this class called the reformer. Joyce Manwaring stated that she didn't think the city owns the
reformer but that it is owned by the Pilate instructors who contract with the city. Joyce will have
the fitness instructor write up an explanation regarding this matter.
Joyce Manwaring asked Commissioners to encourage people to fill out comment cards if they
have a comment about the Recreation Center.
Runny Gordon suggested that the city may consider a trail sign system that she saw when she was
in California where trail rules were stenciled in bright green directly on the asphalt trail.
Bunny reported that she has been approached by a citizen who would like to have her deceased
husband's name carved on a fallen tree in the greenbelt as a memorial. Joyce Manwaring stated
that while she appreciated the sentimentality behind this request, the open space management
plan must be followed. Joyce will look this up in the management plan and report back. She
mentioned that there is a memorial tree planting program; however, there could not be a plaque
to accompany the tree.

Subject: Follow-Up Confirmation on Our Meeting
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2003 10:57:59 -0500
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0)
Importance: Normal
First off, thanks to you both for making the effort to meet with me. And, Mike, it was very helpful to have your peers at the
meeting we got a lot reviewed and resolved.
I've written this email to give us a central document of the discussions we held, decisions reached and action steps to take
over the next few weeks, to keep our project fully on-track. If there is any item that doesn't fit your recall, please advise
ASAP, so we can get it resolved.
I'll approach this by topic.
Sprinkler Issues/Fire Marshall Review
If we are going the route of sprinkler installation, Sparky wants both the new building, and the back sections of the existing
building sprinklered. We would need a remote connection installed near the new building, would have to erect a 2 hour rated
wall in the existing building (to separate the sprinklered and non-sprinklered sections), and would have to, per Darren,
change the parapet to fit building code (at the 2 hour rated wall).
Concerns over project cost and viability were reviewed, and the group developed a plan to potentially split the buildings,
create a fire truck access road to the rear of the property and thus not require sprinkler installation in the buildings. After
review of the access points and measurements, this plan was acknowledged as acceptable to Fire, Building and Planning with
the following caveats:
1) Minimum 24' width clearance between buildings.
2) Impervious surface (roadway surface) for fire truck to drive on.
3) Hydrant installation on property (group identified the retention "island" as best spot)
4) Removal of designated parking stalls in front of fencing (at the entrance to 24' wide access road) stalls to be moved to
other part of lot.
5) Fencing is fine with/without Knox Box. Access road must be easily accessible by Fire Department.
Since the existing building and surrounds do not currently provide such access, this plan would enable Planning and Best
Friends to vastly improve the safety and security of the property. Best Friends was urged to address this in Narrative
description of proposed improvements for Planning Commission review.
Intergroup and Best Friends were to follow-up with the Water Board to determine tap fees for 3/4" hydrant to service
sprinkler needs. A cost comparison will be conducted (versus sprinklering) to determine best economic course of action to
enable project to continue while meeting Fire and Building code requirements.
Set-Back Variance
The group reviewed the set-back variance request and determined that it woul receive Planning and Building support due to:
1) Minimal (and favorable) visual impact on abutting property (Lees and Baugh drainage ditch, 50 foot drainage easement,
and retention pond).
file://C:\winnt\Temp\eud9.htm 1/27/2003
Page 2 of 2
2) Current building structures are closer to property line than proposed new building. Improvements do not create a "new"
encroachment.
3) Enclosed building for housing dogs substantially improves noise reduction from current open yard, and creates a sound
buffer to newly proposed play yard for dogs.
4) Economic value of square footage to both the operator, Best Friends and, to the community, via sales tax.
Based on this discussion, Best Friends and Intergroup will proceed with building plans and submittal to include the variance
request. No ~uAyCµ
Building Coverage Variance
The group reviewed the coverage variance request and identified that, under the A2 zoning classification portion of the lot,
the project represents approximately 28% building coverage, which is more than the 25% building coverage allowance, under
code. Intergroup will re-cast the project coverage, once the access road cut-out is finalized, and will provide revised plans to
Planning for review.
With the set back variance remaining in our submittal, we may wind up with a relative coverage "wash" this remains to be
determined. However, as both sides recognize, the project does not exceed maximum coverage requirements for the lot,
which is split into two zones.
a
Planning identified the existing garage as a potential demolition to reduce square footage on Ab zoned land; however, if the
access road cut is the adopted approach (after cost and feasibility analysis), then the storage, cleaning and training functions
envisioned for the new building portion that would be eliminated in the access road cut would be necessarily fit into the
existing garage structure.
Planning agrees that the zoning classification restriction makes this a very difficult requirement for Best Friends. Best Friends
is urged to outline their case and points in narrative (revenue development, overall lot coverage, planned use of space, service
improvements to customer base, access road provision, beautification of property via new building and facade, etc.). Best
Friends will re-assess square footage coverage, and will proceed to make submittal with/without need for variance request,
depending on outcome. If it will include a variance request, the Company will do so with supportive Narrative detail, per
Planning's suggestions.
Landscape Coverage Variance
The building plan submitted represented a 63% increase in building coverage, which triggered a required 12% increase in
landscape coverage on the A2 portion of the lot. After much discussion, the group consensus was that Best Friends should
include a revised landscape plan to provide as follows: '
1) Frontage landscape enhancements (on Cl zoned parcel of lot) to coincide with the City's important "Streetscape" initiative.
While technically, Best Friends would have to show a 12% gain in landscape coverage on A2, no one in the group could see
the logic in holding fast to this requirement e.g. the A2 portion is deeply set-back from street view, the proposed building
facade and structure is a vast improvement in "landscaping" from the open dirt and grass playyard, and there is no viable
room on A2 for a cogent landscape plan to be executed.
Planning indicated its support for Best Friends to provide landscape plan revisions to include improvements along the CI
frontage. Best Friends is recommended to draft a supportive Narrative citing the above points.
Planning Commission Meeting
Group consensus was that we should shoo or March or our appearance before the Planning Commission. Intergroup and
Best Friends will revise/refine our submittal l g to the points outlined above, and will proceed to get a fully revised
submittal, addressing all points outlined, in meeting and documents, by Planning by first week of February, to meet the
schedule.
