WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-05-10 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 MAYbe 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-05-1 0 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A variance of 10 feet from the required 30 foot setback from the right-
of-way for signs over 25 feet high resulting in a 20-foot setback from the right-of-way for
property zoned Commercial One.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The most affected adjacent occupancy is a hotel to the west across the 1-70 frontage road
south.
2. The request will have no effect on the essential character ofthe locality. The request is to
upgrade an existing sign using the same height and approximately the same size dimension
with an approximately 3 square foot increase.
3. There are unique conditions in that the property has adjacent right-of-way on three sides
therefore limiting options for placement of a 50-foot high sign.
4. There are limited options for placement ofthe 50-foot high sign within setback requirements
without displacing parking spaces and/or drive aisles on the property.
5. Approval of the variance would not result in any change in existing conditions relative to the
location and size ofthe existing 50-foot high sign.
6. Approval of the request would result in an upgrade to an existing sign along Interstate 70.
