EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
For the past two years, the City of Arvada has been working on transit station planning for the
RTD FasTracks Gold Line stations that are proposed within the Arvada city limits. In July of
2007, the City of Arvada adopted the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan to guide station area
planning within the City of Arvada. One of the proposed transit stations in Arvada is the Kipling
Station located at the Arvada Ridge Marketplace. The station would be located in close proximity
to the Super Target at Kipling St. and 51s` St.
Transit-oriented development (TOD) consisting ofmixed uses and higher densities is beingproposed
for the Kipling Station. Densities would be the highest immediately adjacent to the transit station
transitioning out to lower densities to be consistent with the surrounding single family developments
to the north and west. When developing TOD plans, planning is generally done for an area of
approximately one-quarter to one-half of a mile around the transit station.
At the Kipling Station, portions of Wheat Ridge are within the one-quarter to one-half mile planning
radius. The City of Arvada has included proposed future land uses for land located within the Wheat
Ridge city limits. The Kipling Area Station chapter of the Arvada Plan, including a map of the TOD
Concept proposed land uses for the station, is attached. The area outlined in red on the map on page
35, is the area within the City of Wheat Ridge. The City of Arvada is requesting that the City of
Wheat Ridge adopt the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan for the portion of the Plan within the
Wheat Ridge City limits.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on November 1, 2007 and recommended
adoption of the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan as it related to land within the City of Wheat
Ridge.
The Planning Commission expressed concern that the 200 parking spaces currently planned for the
station would not be sufficient to meet parking needs. Because of this concern, Planning Commission
moved that planners lobby for additional parking by three possible solutions: (a) preferably building a
multi-story garage; (b) using undeveloped land in the interim until the garage is built, and (c) seeking
shared parking arrangements with the existing large parking lot of the Target store. The motion passed
8-0.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The Wheat Ridge Regional Center is currently located on the majority of the land within Wheat
Ridge included in the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan for the Kipling Station. The Wheat
Ridge Regional Center is a state owned and operated facility. The State has indicated they plan to
retain this facility for the long term. The Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan proposes land
uses for this area in the event the State ever chose to sell or redevelop the property. Low to
medium density residential is being proposed for this land. This proposed use would be consistent
with the residential uses immediately to the west and north in Wheat Ridge and Arvada.
The Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan was adopted by the Arvada Planning Commission
and City Council last summer. The City of Arvada has requested the City of Wheat Ridge adopt
their plan as it relates to the lands within the City of Wheat Ridge. Kevin Nichols with the Arvada
Community Development Department will be attending the City Council public hearing to present
the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan and answer any questions.
The Plan is proposed to supersede the Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan for the area in the Plan
within the Wheat Ridge city limits. The existing Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map indicates this land as PB - Public/Semi Public and AER - Agricultural/Estate
Residential. Since the preparation of the existing Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan, Skyline
Estates development has been built. This development consists of single family homes in Arvada
and Wheat Ridge adjacent to the land in question.
The land uses changes proposed in the Plan within the City of Wheat Ridge are Residential 1 and
Residential 2, as depicted on the Framework Plan land use map (attached). Residential 2 is a
higher density residential, located closer to the station and along Ridge Road and Miller Street.
Residential 2 is described as 3-6 story residential at 20-60 dwelling units per acre (du/ac).
Residential 1 is a medium density residential described as 2-3 story development at a minimum
density of 16 du/ac. Residential 1 is proposed for the majority of land within the City of Wheat
Ridge and provides a transitional density to existing residential development within Wheat Ridge
and Arvada to the north and west. The proposed densities clearly raise issues with Wheat Ridge's
density and height restrictions as contained in the City Charter and Zoning Code. The Planning
Commission acknowledged and discussed those issues during their public hearing and felt the
concept of higher densities within proximity to a transit station was an appropriate land use.
Wheat Ridge Community Development staff participated in the public meetings for development
of the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan. Inter-jurisdictional cooperation is important as
communities develop station area plans for the proposed FasTracks transit stations. By adopting
the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan, the City of Wheat Ridge is supporting cooperative
land use planning ensuring that compatible land uses are being proposed in areas adjacent to
surrounding jurisdictions.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Alternative land use scenarios were considered by the City of Arvada during public meetings.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact to the City as a result of adopting the Arvada Transit Station Framework
Plan as it pertains to land within the City of Wheat Ridge.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to adopt Resolution 49 - 2007, a resolution recommending adoption of the Arvada Transit
Station Framework Plan as it applies to land within the City of Wheat Ridge."
And,
"I move, due to concerns with an inadequate number of parking spaces proposed for the Kipling Area
Station, that planners lobby for additional parking by three possible methods: (a) preferably building a
multi-story garage; (b) using undeveloped land in the interim until a garage is built, and (c) seeking
shared parking arrangements with the existing large parking lot of the Target store."

Sally Payne
October 23, 2007
November 1, 2007
For the past two years, the City of Arvada has been working on transit station planning for the
RTD FasTracks Gold Line stations that are proposed within the Arvada city limits. One of the
proposed transit stations in Arvada is the Kipling Station located at the Arvada Ridge Marketplace.
The station would be located in close proximity to the Super Target at Kipling St. and 5I`h St.
Transit-oriented development (TOD) consisting of mixed uses and higher densities is being
proposed for the Kipling Station. Densities would be the highest immediately adjacent to the
transit station transitioning out to lower densities to be consistent with the surrounding single
family developments to the north and west. When developing TOD plans, planning is generally
done for an area of approximately one-quarter to one-half of a mile around the transit station. At
the Kipling Station, portions of Wheat Ridge are within the one-quarter to one-half mile planning
radius. The City of Arvada has included proposed future land uses for land located within the
Wheat Ridge city limits. A map is attached from the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan
showing proposed land uses for the Kipling station. The area circled in red is the area within the
City of Wheat Ridge.
The Wheat Ridge Regional Center is currently located on the majority of the land within Wheat
Ridge included in the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan for the Kipling Station. The Wheat
Ridge Regional Center is a state owned and operated facility. The State has indicated they plan to
retain this facility for the long term. The Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan proposes land
uses for this area in the event the State ever chose to sell or redevelop the property. Low to
medium density residential is being proposed for this land. This proposed use would be consistent
with the residential uses immediately to the west and north in Wheat Ridge and Arvada.
The Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan was adopted by the Arvada Planning Commission
and City Council last summer. The City of Arvada has requested the City of Wheat Ridge adopt
ATTACHMENT 2
their plan as it relates to the lands within the City of Wheat Ridge. Kevin Nichols with the Arvada
Community Development Department will be attending the Planning Commission public hearing
to present the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan and answer any questions.
The Plan is proposed to supercede the Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan for the area in the Plan
within the Wheat Ridge city limits. The existing Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map indicates this land as PB - Public/Semi Public and AER - Agri cultural/Estate
Residential. Since the preparation of the existing Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan, Skyline
Estates development has been built. This development consists of single family homes in Arvada
and Wheat Ridge adjacent to the land in question.
Wheat Ridge Community Development staff participated in the public meetings for development
of the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan. Inter jurisdictional cooperation is important as
communities develop station area plans for the proposed FasTracks transit stations. By adopting
the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan, the City of Wheat Ridge is supporting cooperative
land use planning ensuring that compatible land uses are being proposed in areas adjacent to
surrounding jurisdictions.
Staff recommends adoption of the Plan. A motion to adopt the resolution recommending adoption
of the plan by Planning Commission is needed.
This item has been scheduled for a Planning Commission public hearing on November 1, 2007.
Notice as required by state statue for the hearing has been provided. (Notice in the Wheat Ridge
Transcript newspaper.)
If you have any questions, please contact Sally Payne at 303-235-2852 or
spayne@ci.wheatridge.co.us.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to adopt Resolution 04-2007, a resolution recommending adoption of the Arvada Transit
Station Framework Plan as it applies to land within the City of Wheat Ridge and forwarding this
recommendation along with the Resolution to City Council for their consideration."

For the past two years, the City of Arvada has been working on transit station planning for the
RTD FasTracks Gold Line stations that are proposed within the Arvada city limits. One of the
proposed transit stations in Arvada is the Kipling Station located at the Arvada Ridge Marketplace.
The station would be located in close proximity to the Super Target at Kipling St. and 51`x' St.
Transit-oriented development (TOD) consisting of mixed uses and higher densities is being
proposed for the Kipling Station. Densities would be the highest immediately adjacent to the
transit station transitioning out to lower densities to be consistent with the surrounding single
family developments to the north and west. When developing TOD plans, planning is generally
done for an area of approximately one-quarter to one-half of a mile around the transit station. At
the Kipling Station, portions of Wheat Ridge are within the one-quarter to one-half mile planning
radius. The City of Arvada has included proposed future land uses for land located within the
Wheat Ridge city limits. A map is attached from the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan
showing proposed land uses for the Kipling station. The area circled in red is the area within the
City of Wheat Ridge.
The Wheat Ridge Regional Center is currently located on the majority of the land within Wheat
Ridge included in the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan for the Kipling Station. The Wheat
Ridge Regional Center is a state owned and operated facility. The State has indicated they plan to
retain this facility for the long term. The Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan proposes land
uses for this area in the event the State ever chose to sell or redevelop the property. Low to
medium density residential is being proposed for this land. This proposed use would be consistent
with the residential uses immediately to the west and north in Wheat Ridge and Arvada.
The Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan was adopted by the Arvada Planning Commission
and City Council last summer. The City of Arvada has requested the City of Wheat Ridge adopt
their plan as it relates to the lands within the City of Wheat Ridge. Kevin Nichols with the Arvada
Community Development Department will be attending the Planning Commission public hearing
to present the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan and answer any questions.
The Plan is proposed to supercede the Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan for the area in the Plan
within the Wheat Ridge city limits. The existing Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map indicates this land as PB - Public/Semi Public and AER - Agricultural/Estate
Residential. Since the preparation of the existing Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan, Skyline
Estates development has been built. This development consists of single family homes in Arvada
and Wheat Ridge adjacent to the land in question.
Wheat Ridge Community Development staff participated in the public meetings for development
of the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan. Inter-jurisdictional cooperation is important as
communities develop station area plans for the proposed FasTracks transit stations. By adopting
the Arvada Transit Station Framework Plan, the City of Wheat Ridge is supporting cooperative
land use planning ensuring that compatible land uses are being proposed in areas adjacent to
surrounding jurisdictions.
Staff recommends adoption of the Plan. A motion to adopt the resolution recommending adoption
of the plan by Planning Commission is needed.
This item has been scheduled for a Planning Commission public hearing on November 1, 2007.
Notice as required by state statue for the hearing has been provided. (Notice in the Wheat Ridge
Transcript newspaper.)
If you have any questions, please contact Sally Payne at 303-235-2852 or

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to adopt Resolution 04-2007, a resolution recommending adoption of the Arvada Transit
Station Framework Plan as it applies to land within the City of Wheat Ridge and forwarding this
recommendation along with the Resolution to City Council for their consideration."

SUBJECT: Arvada - Gold Line Transit Station Plan
DATE: June 7, 2007
v
For the past year the City of Arvada has been working on transit station planning for the RTD Gold
Line stations that are proposed to be within the Arvada city limits. One of the proposed transit
stations in Arvada is the Kipling Station located at the Arvada Ridge Marketplace. The station
would be located in close proximity to the Super Target at Kipling St. and 51`h St.
Transit-oriented development (TOD) consisting of mixed uses and higher densities is being proposed
for the Kipling Area Station. When developing TOD plans, planning is generally done for an area of
approximately one-quarter to one-half of a mile around the transit station. At the Kipling Area
Station, portions of Wheat Ridge are within the one-quarter to one-half mile planning radius. The
City of Arvada has included proposed land uses for land located within Wheat Ridge city
boundaries. A map is attached from the Arvada TOD Plan showing proposed land uses for the
Kipling Station Plan. The area circled in red is the area within the City of Wheat Ridge.
The Wheat Ridge Regional Center is currently located on the majority of the land within Wheat
Ridge. The State has indicated to the City of Arvada that they plan to retain this facility for the long
term. The Kipling Area Station Plan proposes land uses for this area in the event the State ever
chose to sell or redevelop the property. Low to medium density residential is being proposed for
this land. This would be consistent with the residential uses immediately to the west and north in
Wheat Ridge and Arvada.
Kevin Nichols with the Arvada Community Development Department will be attending the June 18
City Council study session to present the Arvada TOD Plan and answer any questions you may have
about the Plan. We would like Council to consider adopting the Arvada TOD Plan as an amendment
to the Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan as it relates to the portion within the City of Wheat Ridge.
If Council agrees with this recommendation, the Plan would be scheduled for public hearing later
this summer after it has been adopted by the City of Arvada.
If you have any questions; please contact Sally Payne at 303-235-2852 or
