Memorandum ORPDO
TO: Applicant and case file
FROM: Meredith Reckert
SUBJECT: Case No. SUP- 03-02
DATE: June 16, 2003
Case No. SUP-03-02 is an application by Michael Woodward requesting approval of an
administrative special use permit to allow a vehicle sales lot on C-1 zoned property located at 12301
West 44`h Avenue.
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 1291, the Community Development Director has the ability to decide
upon applications for administrative special use approval, without requirements for a public hearing,
provided the following conditions are met:
1. A completed application package has been submitted and fee paid.
2. The Community Development Department has notified adjacent property owners by
letter notice and the site has been posted for at least ten (10) days,
3. No written objections have been received in such ten-lay period;
4. The Community Development Director concludes that the criteria for approval, as set
forth below, are substantially complied with and support the request.
The Community Development Director can impose conditions or stipulations upon the approval,
which may include physical design, operational, and maintenance considerations to ensure
compliance with the criteria for review.
The Community Development Director shall also decide the following:
1. Whether the SUP runs with the land in perpetuity; or,
2. Whether the SUP is personal to the applicant and may or may not be inherited; and
/or,
3. Whether the SUP is granted only for a defined period, after which time the special use
shall expire unless renewed subject to all of the requirements of this section
AGENCY REFERRALS
The following are comments from responding city departments and outside agencies.
Arvada Fire Protection District will require an access aisle not less than 20' in width from West 44`h
Avenue to the building. A tum-around will not be required. The building does not have to be
sprinkled. The garage portion of the structure can only be used for detailing of vehicles. No storage
of flammable liquids or oils is allowed.
Colorado Department of Transportation has no comments.
Valley Water District currently serves the property with a'/4" tap on a 16" water main in 44`h
Avenue. Additional fire hydrants will not be required.
Xcel Energy can serve the property with an existing gas line in 44`h Avenue. Existing electric
service lines are on the south side of 4e Avenue.
City of Wheat Ridge Public Works Department reviewed the site plan and has no comments.
City of Wheat Ridge economic development has noted that the property is located in an urban
renewal area, which calls for a large commercial project. The SUP is inconsistent with the long-
range goal, however the proposal is probably the best use for the property until redevelopment
occurs.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT CRITERIA
Before an administrative special use is approved, the applicant shall show and the Community
Development Director shall find that the proposed special use:
1. 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.
The property in question has historically been utilized for vehicle sales. No substantial changes
are proposed to the site, except for upgrades to the parking lot and the replacement of dead
landscaping in two existing planting areas.
2. Will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of physical or
operational characteristics of the proposed plan.
The property has been vacant for several years and is in an unmaintained condition. The
establishment of a viable commercial use should be a benefit to the neighborhood and will not
contribute to blight.
3. Will not adversely affect the adequate light and air, nor cause significant air, water
or noise pollution.
The site conditions are not changing, therefore, there should be no impact on light, air, or water
to adjacent properties. The property is bounded on the north by a mini-storage facility with I-70
beyond. The I-70 off-ramps abut the property on the east. In light of the proximity to I-70, there
should be no concern for increased noise pollution.
4. Will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or unsafe parking,
loading, service of internal traffic conflicts to the detriment of persons whether on
or off the site.
No changes are proposed to the existing access to W. 40' Avenue and the applicant will provide
adequate employee and customer parking on-site. Emergency vehicle access has been evaluated
by the Arvada Fire Protection District who is requiring a 20' wide access aisle from 44`h Avenue
to the building.
5. 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.
Adjacent properties are commercial in nature and will experience minimal impact from the
proposed special use. The applicant is upgrading the facility in regards to aesthetics of the
building, striping of the parking lot and installation of new landscape materials.
6. Will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks, schools and
other public facilities and services.
All responding utility agencies are able to serve the property. There will be no impact to parks
or schools as no new residences are proposed.
7. History of compliance by the applicant with Code requirements and prior
conditions, if any, regarding the subject property.
A search of the City's code enforcement records has shown that there was a sign code violation
warning notice issued to the property owners in 1999. The violation was abated in a reasonable
time period (approximately one month).
8. Ability of the applicant or any permitted-in-interest to continuously meet the
conditions of the proposed permit.
If conditions of an approved special use are violated, the permit can be revoked. If the permit is
revoked, then the car sales use must cease. It is in the applicant's best interest to follow the
terms and conditions of any approval received form the city.
9. Other factors relevant to the specific application.
There are no other relevant factors.
This request for an administrative special use meets all applicable conditions as required by Section
26-114 of the City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws. Staff has not received written comments in
opposition to this request from the adjacent property owners.
Therefore, Case No. SUP-03-02 is hereby APPROVED with the following conditions:
1. The special use shall be a grant of use to run in perpetuity with the property, unless it is
included as part of an overall redevelopment plan of aggregated, adjacent properties.
2. The use of the property shall remain in compliance with the submitted application
materials and site development plan.
3. Hours of operation shall be 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
on Saturday and Sunday.
4. Vehicle sales shall be limited to cars, trucks and motorcycles. No RV, boat, trailer or
personal watercraft sales shall occur.
5. Freestanding signage on the property will be limited to the existing freestanding sign.

RE: Letter of Request and Application
Administrative Special Use Permit
for Used Vehicle Sales Lot at 12301 W. 44th Avenue
Dear Ms. Reckert
The Applicant and owners, Mr. Mike Woodward, Mrs. Cheryl K. Woodward and Ms.
Mary Ihle, are requesting an Administrative Special Use Permit to allow a used vehicle
sales lot on the property located at 12301 W. 441P Avenue, Wheat Ridge, Colorado. This
property is located at the northwest comer of 44th Avenue and Interchange-70 off-ramp.
This property is developed for commercial uses and currently does not have an
operating business. The zoning designation for this property Commercial-One District
(C-1).
This request is to allow a used vehicle sales lot on a developed property permitted as a
special use in the C-1 district. The used vehicle sales lot will utilize the existing building,
signage, landscape planters and parking areas of the site. The existing conditions of the
commercially developed property have been incorporated into the proposed site design.
The site design includes twelve customer parking spaces, one employee parking space,
one handicap parking space and vehicular display area for approximately fourteen to
sixteen vehicles. Access is provided at an existing entrance located along the frontage
of the property at West 40 Avenue. The proposed design provides adequate access,
vehicular display areas, parking and internal vehicular circulation.
The proposed office and used vehicle sales operation will include two part-time
employees and will maintain regular business hours of 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through
Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. A licensed automobile dealer that
is regulated by the State of Colorado, Department of Revenue, will operate the used
vehicle sales business.
The proposed commercially zoned site is located in a commercial area and is
surrounded by Public Storage to the north and west; a Truck Plaza separated by an
Interstate-70 off-ramp to the east, and a grocery store and nursery to the south. This
commercial property was originally developed for a truck sales lot in 1974 and has
historically been used for some vehicle type sales until approximately the year 2000.
Commercial uses have since been located on this property. The proposed use and site
design is consistent with the historic uses of the property and is compatible with the
surrounding commercial uses and zoning of this area.
This letter will also address the Special Use Permit Criteria of the Wheat Ridge Zoning
and Development Code as follows:
Special Use Criteria
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.
The proposed used vehicular sales lot will provide a commercial use that is
allowed as a Special Use in the C-1 zone. This property was originally
developed and used for vehicle type sales that have been consistently
provided at this location a majority of the years the property has been
developed. Used vehicle sales are not provided in the surrounding
commercial area and the proposed use will provide an alternative vehicle
sales source for the public. The proposed use is also consistent with the
historic uses and services provided on this developed property.
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.
The proposed use will be provided on an existing developed property and will
not require any additional services. The proposed used vehicle sales office
will be located in an existing building and the site has been designed to utilize
the existing constraints of the property. The property for the proposed use is
located in an established commercial area and immediately surrounded by
commercial uses. The proposed vehicle sales lot use and operation will not
have detrimental effect to the health, welfare, safety and convenience of the
neighborhood.
3. Will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of physical
or operational characteristics of the proposed use.
As discussed in numbers one and two, the proposed used vehicle sales lot
and operation will be provided on a developed commercial property located in
an established commercial area of Wheat Ridge. In addition, the site has
been designed to provided adequate parking, vehicle display areas and
internal circulation and incorporate the existing development constraints of
the property. The physical and operational characteristics of the proposed
use will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood.
4. Will not adversely affect the adequate light and air, nor cause significant air,
water or noise pollution.
The proposed use will require minimal improvements to the existing
developed property that has adequate setback and separation from adjacent
structures and uses to continue allowing adequate light and air. The
proposed use and operation will utilize an existing structure and developed
property. The proposed use and operation will not require any additional
services provide adequate light and air. The proposed use will operate within
an existing structure and will not require any additional services or
improvements to the property. This proposal will have minimal impacts to
air, water or noise pollution.
5. Is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
This site is designated as Commercial in the City of Wheat Ridge
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed used vehicle sales lot will be located on
an existing commercially- developed property in the C-1 zone district. The
zoning designation for this property allows the proposed use as a Special
Use for the property. Therefore, this request is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan
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.
Access to the property and on-site parking is provided from an existing
entrance from W. 44"' Avenue. The proposed site design will provide
adequate parking, drive aisle widths and internal vehicular circulation. This
property was originally designed for vehicle type sales and has historically
been used for vehicle sale operations. Its location and site design will not
result in additional traffic impacts to the area. The proposed use and its
operation will have minimal impact to the traffic patterns in the area and will
not result in an increase of undue traffic congestion, parking or internal traffic
conflicts to the detriment of persons on 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.
The proposed use will be located on an existing commercially developed
property in an established commercial area. A sales office will be provided in
an existing structure that has been constructed with appropriate setbacks,
height, bulk, buffering and screening. Adequate access, on-site parking,
vehicle display areas and internal vehicular circulation have been
incorporated into the site design. Landscaping will be provided within existing
planting areas and designed with xeriscape planting materials. The proposed
use and design of the existing commercially developed site is compatible with
the commercial character and uses of the surrounding areas and adjacent
properties.
8. Will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks,
schools and other public facilities and services.
This proposal will be located on an existing commercially developed property
and will not require additional public improvements or services. The
proposed use and site has been historically used for similar type uses and
will not contribute to overburdening the capacities of existing streets, utilities,
parks, schools and other public facilities or services.
9. History of compliance by the applicant with Code requirements and prior
conditions, if any, regarding the subject property.
The Applicant has complied with Code requirements and prior conditions for
this property.
10. Ability of the applicant or any permitted successor-in-interest to continuously
meet the conditions of the proposed permit.
The Applicant and owners have numerous years of experience as licensed
dealers and operators of vehicle sales. A licensed vehicle dealer that is
bonded and licensed by the State of Colorado will operate the proposed use
and business. Therefore, the Applicants and owners will also be able to meet
the conditions of the proposed Special Use permit for this property.
11. Other factors relevant to the specific application.
A neighborhood meeting was held in which one person of the community
attended. This person supported the proposed used vehicle sales lot and
recalled that this property had been previously used for vehicular sales. In
addition, the Applicant and owners have met with the Arvada Fire Protection
District who has indicated the proposed site plan is adequate for on-site
access and the existing office building will not require a sprinkler system.
Accompanying this letter of request is a completed Land Use Case Application form,
proof of ownership, copy of Improvement Location Certificate of the property, legal
description of the property and site development plan. The $500.00 Application fee has
been previously paid to the City of Wheat Ridge and the Applicant is requesting that the
previously paid fee for a withdrawn application be applied to this request.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (303) 423-2702.

re: 12301 W. 44th Avenue/Special Use Permit
Landscaping for Proposed Used Vehicle Sales Lot
Hello, Meredith.
As you have requested, the following information was provided with Mr. Bill Cassel, City Arborist, during my
conversation with him yesterday:
o There is no specific shrub list. Use the tree/plant booklet prepared by the Colorado Nursery Association. A
copy of the booklet may be picked up at his office or at a nursery.
o Planter at front property to replace planter in right-of-way is okay.
o Agreed that no trees in this planter due to visibility (sight triangle) issue.
o Need to remove asphalt for the planter. Plants will not survive without removal of asphalt.
o Since City has had other landscaping concessions, he would require a soil sample where asphalt has
been removed.
o Maximum height of ties for this planter is 36" due to sight/visibility issue.
o If do not remove asphalt for new planter, keep planter in street (right-of-way)
We also discussed if you would require a VARIANCE request for the reduced percentage of landscaping. Please
let me know as soon as possible, how you would like us to proceed and if a Variance request will be required with
the Special Use application.
Thanks again for all your help! Have a good day and I look forward to your response. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me at (303) 423-2702 or my cell phone (303) 748-7685.
Sincerely,
Patty McCartney

Subject: Re: Woodward Project - Administrative SUP Application and Process
Hello, Meredith.
Thank you very much for your response and recommendation. I agree that it
would be easier and will talk to Mike about this new process. I believe
his biggest concern will be how quickly this process will be compared to
the public hearing review. I do have the following questions before I talk
to Mike:
1. If withdrawn, what is the earliest date we could resubmit the
application for administrative review and processing? Assuming adoption at
the May 27th CC meeting, can we submit the application for processing the
day after or do we need to wait 10-15 days for adoption of ordinance?
2. Since we have already gone through a referral process, would we then be
required to do another referral review with the administrative SUP
application?
3. If no complaints are received, do you feel the Planning Department will
approve (either with or without conditions) the current application?
4. Given, no major issues, how long do you believe it may take to get a
Planning Department decision?
5. It appears that the administrative process will not have any PC review
and goes directly to City Council (either by complaint or Planning Dept.
decision appeal). Is that correct?
6. Mike also paid a $300 notification fee, would that also be reimbursed
if the project is withdrawn? Is this $300 notification fee also required
for the proposed Admin. SUP process, or is this fee only needed if goes to
City Council?
7. Is it possible to get a copy of the proposed ordinance for proposed
Administrative SUP process?
Page 1 of 4*
I really appreciate all your help with this project and recommendation! I
will talk to Mike and let him know of your concerns with Planning
Commission and that City Council hearing would not occur until end of June.
Please call me at (303) 423-2702 or cell phone (303) 748-7685 if you feel
we need to discuss this further. Thanks again for all your help and I look
forward to your responses. Have a great day! Patty McCartney
P. S. Do you think this new administrative SUP process would apply to the
Wheat Ridge Manor project that includes a variance request for 2 to 4
parking spaces? I'd be more than happy to show you their proposed site
plan if you feel that would help

Hey, Patty-
Page 1 of 2
We have some recent happenings which could make Mike Woodward's, the planning staffs and your
life quite a bit easier relative to our SUP process changes. We went to study session with CC on april
21, 2003 where they advised us to proceed with changes to the SUP process ASAP. So, now the
schedule is as follows: 1 st reading at CC where no public input is taken: April 28, 2003, public hearing
at Planning Commission: May 15, 2003, and public hearing at City Council: May 27, 2003.
The process that we were told to proceed with would be as follows:
1. Application
2. Referral to outside agencies
3. posting for 10 days and notification of adjacent property owners
4. if no complaints received, action by the Community Development director to approve, approve with
modifications, or denial
5. If complaints received, or if applicant wants to appeal the CD director's decision, public hearing in
front of City Council
I know Mike is anxious the expedite his process, but this will really simplify everyone's life by not
having public hearings. we had originally had him scheduled for PC hearing on May 15 with CC
tentatively late in June. I have Alan convinced that this is the proper use for the location given
alternatives. We are somewhat worried about the PC review as they have become very high
maintenance regarding site plan reviews.
We recommend he withdraw his application and we would credit the fee paid toward the new
application. The fee will still be $500 but there will be substantially less noticing and he would most
likely get a reimbursement.
Let me know what you think,
Meredith

Meredith, I have reviewed the development proposal for 12301 W. 44`h Avenue and would have the
following comment:
12301 W. 44 h Avenue is located in an Urban Renewal Area calling for a large commercial
project. While the proposal is inconsistent with that long-range goal, the proposed use is
probably the best use for the property until redevelopment occurs.
Call me at 2806 if you have any questions.

RE: Proposed Auto Sales
12301 W. 44' Ave. ' r
Dear Meredith,
The developers of the site at 12301 W. 44'" Ave. have requested that I clarify two points
with Community Development.
1. Turnarounds:
The access roadway is a dead end, but does not exceed 150 feet in length. The fire code
would not require a turnaround A minimum of a 20 feet driveway, access lane will be
provided from West 44 h Ave. to the building.
2. Sprinkler System:
A sprinkler system would not be required for the office use. The garage is to be used for
detailing of vehicles only. No storage of flammable liquids or oils will be present at the
site. The fire code would not require the building to be protected with an automatic
sprinkler system.
If you have any questions or would need any additional information, please call me at
303-463-7463.
