CERTIFICATE OF RESOLUTION
ORIGINAL
CASE NO: WA-03-16
APPLICANT'S NAME: ARC Wireless Solutions
LOCATION: 10601 West 1-70 Frontage Road
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. W A-03-16 is an appeal to this Board
from the decision of an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, the property has been posted the fifteen days required by law, and in recognition
that there were no protests registered against it; and
WHEREAS, the relief applied for may be granted without detriment to the public welfare and
without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of the regulations governing the City of
Wheat Ridge.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Board of Adjustment Application Case No.
W A-03-16 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A variance to Section 26-709 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws (Sign
Code) to allow an increase to the maximum sign area allowed for a freestanding sign on property
zoned Plarmed Industrial Development (PID) and located at 10601 West 1-70 Frontage Road
North.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
I. If the variance were granted, the essential character of the neighborhood would not likely
be altered. The sign in question already exists, but the area the applicant is proposing to
use would result in a total sign area of216 feet. It is currently a blank face that the
applicant is proposing for use in advertising.
2. The area surrounding the property is predominantly occupied by light industrial activities.
Most of the surrounding businesses have signs of similar size and height. The previous
tenant, V olant Ski's, used the entire sign as it exists today prior to their closing.
3. The request would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other properties
in the area. The request would most likely not have a detrimental effect on property
values in the neighborhood.
4. Arguably, a hardship has occurred due to lack of notice of code changes affecting the
existing sign to the building's owner.
