Council Bill 28-2015 — an Ordinance Approving a Zone Change from Restricted Commercial (RC) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N) for property located at 4340 Harlan Street (Case NO. WZ-15-08/Lightway) Councilmember Urban introduced Council Bill 28-2015. Page 2 Rezoning is the first step in the process for redevelopment. All further site plan review will be done administratively with no additional public hearing required. Clerk Shaver assigned Ordinance 1589. Mayor Jay opened the public hearing and swore in Meredith Reckert. City Council Minutes December 14, 2015 Page 3 Staff presentation Ms. Reckert entered into the record the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, the case file and packet material and contents of the digital presentation. She testified that all notification and posting requirements have been met. Ms. Reckert explained the reason Mixed Use Zones were created in 2010 was to provide a predictable and streamlined development process. The process involves a neighborhood meeting, Planning Commission hearing, City Council public hearing and administrative review of site plans. Property owners and developers liked Mixed Use because it provides flexibility with land uses, minimal expenditures up front and a predictable schedule. It encourages medium density mixed development and allows for a range of commercial, retail and residential uses. The property in question is 11,000 sf and has most recently been an antique store. The parking lot will be resurfaced but no other changes are planned. The zone change is necessary to allow the owner to locate a satellite day care facility of Lightway at Sloans in Edgewater. Ancillary office and residential uses are anticipated. No one came to the neighborhood meeting and staff has received no notice of concerns. All agencies can serve the property. The Planning Commission had a hearing and recommends approval. Staff recommends approval for the following reasons: • The zone change promotes the health, safety and welfare of the community, with no significant adverse effects. • A zone change to MU -N is supported by the adopted plans. • MU -N is compatible with the surrounding area. • The criteria used to evaluate a zone change supports the request. There was no public comment or discussion/questions from Council. Mayor Jay closed the public hearing. Motion by Councilmember Urban to approve Council Bill 28-2015 — an ordinance approving a zone change from Restricted Commercial (RC) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N) for property located at 4340 Harlan Street (Case NO.

Councilmember Davis asked about space for a playground. Ms. Reckert testified there is space in the back yard for that and all state requirements for day care would be required. The motion carried 7-0.

Currently the property has one structure that has a building footprint oo�re w th on ,760 sq reidet. The property was most recently used as a specialty antique Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding properties include a variety of land uses and zoning designations. The 4300 block of Harlan is primarily low intensity, neighborhood commercial operations with some residences. To the north of the subject property is a 4,320 -square -foot commercial structure zoned RC and used for general offices.

Attachment 2 I. REQUEST This application is for approval of a zone change from Restricted Commercial to Mixed Use - Neighborhood for property located at 4340 Harlan Street. The zone change is the first step of the process for approval for reuse of this site under MU -N zoning. If approved, it is anticipated that the owner will make minor site modifications with respect to parking, and minor interior renovations. Review for compliance will occur as part of a building permit application. This review would be administrative with no additional public hearings required. The purpose of the rezoning is to locate a daycare facility with a residential unit toward the rear of the property and office space on the second and third floor. A daycare is not a permitted use in the Restricted Commercial (RC) zone district. (Exhibit 1, Applicant Letter) II. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY The subject property is located at 4340 Harlan Street. The property is comprised of a .259 acre parcel on the east side of Harlan Street with roughly 75 feet of frontage. Currently the property has one structure that has a building footprint of 5,760 square feet. The property was most recently used as a specialty antique store with an ancillary residence. Access to the property currently consists of two curb cuts with a horseshoe drive along Harlan Street. (Exhibit 2, Aerial Photo) The site is zoned Restricted Commercial (RC), and surrounding properties include a variety of zoning designations and land uses. The 4300 block of Harlan is primarily low intensity, neighborhood commercial operations with some residences. To the north of the subject property is a 4,320 square foot commercial structure zoned RC used as general offices. To the south is 2,148 square foot commercial structure zoned RC with a tattoo shop, a dog grooming business and a residence in the rear. To the west is a 1,655 square foot commercial building zoned RC and a 2,417 square foot commercial building zoned Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MU -N). To the east is a residential neighborhood that is part of the Stevenson Subdivision zoned R-3 developed with low density residential uses. (Exhibit 3, Zoning Map) The property was originally built as a residence before being converted to an antique store in the 1970's. When the property was converted to commercial use, the owner also constructed an addition that added roughly 4,300 square feet to the building footprint. The rear and top floor of the existing building have been used residentially. (Exhibit 4, Improvement Location Certificate; Exhibit 5, Site Photos) III. PROPOSED ZONING The applicants are requesting the property be rezoned to Mixed Use -Neighborhood, a zone district intended to provide medium density mixed use development. In addition to residential and office uses, it allows for a range of neighborhood serving commercial and retail uses, including day care centers. 2 Planning Commission W Z-15-08/Lightway The property is currently zoned Restricted Commercial (RC). The zone district was established to accommodate various types of office uses performing administrative, professional and personal services, and to provide for a limited range of retail uses which are neighborhood oriented. The applicant intends to open a daycare facility, provide office space on the second and third floor, and continue the residential use toward the rear of the property. The following table compares the existing and proposed zoning for the property, with standards for new development or major additions: IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in Section 26-112.E. The Planning Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the following criteria have been met: 1. The change of zone promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community and will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area.

ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in Section 26-112.E. The Planning Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the following criteria have been met: 1. The change of zone promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community and will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area. Planning Commission WZ-15-08/Lightway The change of zone will not result in adverse effects on the surrounding area. While rezoning would allow uses beyond what is permitted in the RC zone district, any new development or major addition will require site plan review through which traffic impacts, drainage and buffering will be analyzed. The MU -N zoning is expected to add value to the subject property and also to the surrounding community. The mixed use development standards will support compatibility between future redevelopment and existing land uses. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. 2. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the types of uses allowed by the change of zone, or the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity. All responding agencies have indicated they can serve the property. Prior to any major redevelopment, a site plan review application will be required. This application will include a referral to all impacted utility agencies. In the event that the current utility capacity is not adequate, the property owner/developer will be responsible for utility upgrades. A building permit will be required for any minor interior modifications and any parking reconfiguration will be reviewed administratively for conformance. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. 3. The Planning Commission shall also find that at least one 1 of the following conditions exists: a. The change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies, and other related policies or plans for the area. Neighborhood Commercial Corridor T T Planning Commission W Z-15-08/Lightway The plan shows Excerpt from Envision Wheat Neighborhood Ridge Structure Plan Commercial Corridors along: • 44"' Avenue (between Youngfield and Kipling Streets) • 44'" Avenue (between i Kipling Street and the greenbelt) • 44"' Avenue (east of Wadsworth Boulevard) • Harlan Street (from I- Property location 70 to just south of 4*..OwOM0M1 44" Avenue) 4 Envision Wheat Ridge, the City's 2009 comprehensive plan, identifies this area as Neighborhood Commercial Corridor, which is a designation intended to identify areas of future focus and emphasis. Future character and uses include a broad mix of activities, including small-scale, pedestrian friendly mixed-use retail, commercial businesses, and residential, with a focus on promoting a compatible mix of uses to supply the daily services and needs of adjacent residential areas. Goals met with the proposal include the reinvestment in a property which will include a mix of neighborhood supporting uses, including daycare, residential use and office use. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error. Staff has not found any evidence of an error with the current R-1 zoning designation as it appears on the City zoning maps. Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable. c. A change of character in the area has occurred or is occurring to such a degree that it is in the public interest to encourage redevelopment of the area or to recognize the changing character of the area. Staff finds no evidence of significant changes in the area. The zone change request from RC to MU -N neither responds to nor results in notable change of character. Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable. d. The proposed rezoning is necessary in order to provide for a community need that was not anticipated at the time of the adoption of the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan. The proposed rezoning does not relate to an unanticipated need. Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable. Staff concludes that the criteria used to evaluate zone change support this request. V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING Prior to submittal of an application for a zone change, the applicant is required to hold a neighborhood input meeting in accordance with the requirements of section 26-109. Planning Commission WZ- 15-08/Lightway 5 A meeting for neighborhood input was held on June 16, 2015. There were no attendees from the neighborhood at the meeting. (Exhibit 6, Neighborhood Meeting Notes) VI. AGENCY REFERRAL All affected service agencies were contacted for comment on the zone change request and regarding the ability to serve the property. Specific referral responses follow: Wheat Ridge Economic Development: No comments at this time. Wheat Ridge Fire Protection District: No comments. Wheat Ridge Water District: No comments. Wheat Ridge Public Works: No comments at this time. Wheat Ridge Sanitation District: No comments. Xcel Energy: No objections. Comments received relate only to the zone change request. A separate referral process would be required in the future if the zone change is approved and a site plan for redevelopment is submitted. VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff concludes that the proposed zone change promotes the health, safety and general welfare of the community. Staff further concludes that the proposal is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Because the zone change evaluation criteria support the zone change request, staff recommends approval of Case No. WZ-15-08. VIII. SUGGESTED MOTIONS Option A: "I move to recommend APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-15-08, a request for approval of a zone change from Restricted Commercial (RC) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N) for property located at 4340 Harlan Street, for the following reasons: 1.

Plan: June 16, 2015 Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner City of Wheat Ridge Municipal Building 7500 W. 29`h Avenue Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 4340 Harlan Street Klaire Looney & Jeremiah Buck klooney@lightwayatsloans.com Jbuck@treadglobal.com 808-557-5022 Yes Same Restricted Commercial (RC) Neighborhood, Primary Commercial Corridor Existing Site Conditions: The subject property is located at 4340 Harlan Street. The property is comprised of a .259 acre parcel on the east side of Harlan Street. Currently the property has one structure that has a building footprint of 5,760 square feet. The property was most recently used as a specialty antique store with an ancillary residence. The site is zoned Residential Commercial (RC), and surrounding properties include a variety of zoning designations and land uses. The 4300 block of Harlan is primarily low intensity, neighborhood commercial operations with some residences. To the north of the subject property is a 4,320 square foot commercial structure zoned RC used as general offices. To the south is 2,148 square foot commercial structure zoned RC with a tattoo shop, a dog grooming business and a residence in the rear. To the west is a 1,655 square foot commercial building zoned RC and a 2,417 square foot commercial structure zoned Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MU -N). To the east Planning Commission WZ-15-08/Lightway 15 is a residential neighborhood that is part of the Stevenson Subdivision zoned R-3 developed with low density residential uses. Based on Jefferson County Assessor's records, the subject property is comprised of one parcel totaling .259 acres. The property fronts along Harlan Street and has 75 feet of frontage. There is one curb cut on the south side of the property which is roughly 15 feet in width. It appears that the property utilizes a curb cut on the property to the north. . The property was originally built as a residence before being converted to an antique store in the 1970's. When the property was converted to commercial, the owner also constructed an addition that added roughly 4,300 square feet to the building footprint. The rear and top floor of the existing building have been used residentially. Applicant Preliminary Proposal: The applicant is proposing to convert the subject property into a daycare facility with a residential unit on the first floor and an office space for the second and third floor. The daycare facility, Lightway, would have four active staff members for fifteen children comprised of 5 babies and 10 toddlers. The residential unit is an existing condition and is located in the eastern half of the building. The office use for the second floor and third floor would be a product sourcing and development service. The applicant will not be making any alterations to the exterior of the structure. The applicant has expressed an interest to accommodate more parking and landscaping. Because the RC zoning does not allow day care facilities, a zone change to Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MU -N) is begin proposed. A day care facility is a permitted land use in MU -N. There were no attendees from the neighborhood. 16 Planning Commission WZ-15-08/Lightway No one wished to speak at this time. 7. PUBLIC HEARING A. Case No. WZ-15-08: Ms. Reckert gave a short presentation regarding the zone change process and the application. She entered into the record the contents of the case file, packet materials, the zoning ordinance, and the contents of the digital presentation. She stated the public notice and posting requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Restricted Commercial (RC) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N) for property located at 4340 Harlan Street. The purpose of the rezoning is to expand permitted uses to locate a daycare facility with a residential unit toward the rear of the property and office space on the second and third floor. A daycare is not a permitted use in the RC zone district. Ms. Reckert stated that the primary difference between RC and MU -N zoning is MU -N allows residential uses including live/work facilities. At this time there are no proposals for redevelopment on the site. The applicants plan to modify the interior, which at the time will require building permit approval. Ms. Reckert also pointed out that this change in zone is in conformance with the City of Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan which identifies Harlan as a Neighborhood Commercial Corridor. A neighborhood meeting was held on June 16, 2015 which had no attendees and there after the 15 day posting. Ms. Reckert stated tha were no calls or letters of concern t if the zoning is approved there will be a site plan reviewed administratively to make the parking area meets the standards, a plat, if required, and a building permit. sure Commissioner DORSEY noticed the property is filled with a lot of building space and is concerned if there is enough parking for the daycare clients along with the residential parking. Ms. Reckert stated this was also staff's concern. Staff recommended the applicants work with an architect to lay out designs with modifications for the daycare parking so they have adequate parking and there are no conflicts with pedestrians. Commissioner TIMMS wanted to know what was on the other side of the tall windows, in the building. Klare Looney 4340 Harlan Street The applicant, Ms. Looney, stated that it is one big room behind the window and to the left is another big room. Both of which will be used for the daycare. The residence is in the back and upper floor of the building. Planning Commission Minutes November 5, 2015 Attachment 3 - 2 Commissioner TIMMS noticed a few other properties in the neighborhood have also been rezoned to MU -N, and wondered if there is any chance the city has looked at a city initiated rezoning for this area. Ms. Reckert stated that staff and planning commission have talked about it and will discuss it more after the first of the year. Commissioner OHM asked because of the offices on the third floor if the zone change will trigger ADA compliance or is it already ADA compatible. Ms. Reckert stated she believed it is already ADA compatible and indicated that the inspectors had already been out to look at structure. Ms. Looney stated they are not going to move forward with the offices right now, but that they have met with the inspectors and are complying with their requests. CHAIR BUCKNAM asked if the structure will currently be under the maximum lot coverage for MU -N which is 90%. Ms. Reckert said yes the building structure will be under the 90% maximum lot coverage. Commissioner TIMMS asked about having an outdoor play area for the daycare children. Ms. Looney stated they are working with the adjacent property owner to get an easement and that they are going to rent 750 sq. ft. from the neighbor to the south. Commissioner TIMMS asked if the outdoor play area will be part of the site plan review. Ms. Reckert stated that an outdoor play area is not required by the city, only the state, so it will not be part of the site plan review. It was moved by Commissioner OHM and seconded by Commissioner Kimsey to recommend APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-15-08, a request for approval of a zone change from Restricted Commercial (RC) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N) for property located at 4340 Harlan Street, for the following reasons: 1. The proposed zone change will promote the public health, safety, or welfare of the community. 2. The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 3. The zone change will provide additional opportunity for reinvestment in the area. Planning Commission Minutes -3— November 3—November 5, 2015 4. The criteria used to evaluate a zone change support the request. Motion carried 7-0. B. Case No. WZ-15-04: Ms. Reckert gave a short presentation regarding the zone change process and the application. She entered into the record the contents of the case file, packet materials, the zoning ordinance, and the contents of the digital presentation. She stated the public notice and posting requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Planned Commercial Dehvelopment (PCD) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood for property located at 10590 W. 44 Avenue. In 2001 the property was rezoned from Agricultural -One (A-1) to Planned Commercial Development (PCD) with the intent of developing the property into a garden center. No residential uses are included in the permitted uses. The applicant is requesting MU -N for the flexibility of having commercial and residential uses allowed on the property. Ms. Reckert continued that the MU -N setbacks are more pedestrian friendly as opposed to the PCD setbacks which place the buildings farther away from the street. The change of zone is also in conformance with the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals because it will allow for a wider range of development scenarios on the property. A neighborhood meeting was held on April 13, 2015 in which no neighborhood attendees were present. Also, there were no phone calls or letters received and no concerns from city departments or agencies. Slawomir Golabek 4745 S. Andes St., Aurora, CO Plans for the site might be townhomes and construction would likely start in in 2016. There were no questions from the Commission. It was moved by Commissioner DORSEY and seconded by Commissioner TIMMS to recommend APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-15-04, a request for approval of a zone change from Planned Commercial Development (PCD) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N) for property located at 10590 W. 44'x' Avenue, for the following reasons: I.

The property is comprised of a .259 -acre parcel on the east side of Harlan Street with roughly 75 feet of frontage. Currently the property has one structure that has a building footprint of 5,760 square feet. The property was most recently used as a specialty antique store with an ancillary residence. Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding properties include a variety of land uses and zoning designations. The 4300 block of Harlan is primarily low intensity, neighborhood commercial operations with some residences.

AY �s- August 31, 2015 To Whom It May Concern: Lightway at Sloans 5440 West 251h Avenue Edgewater Co. 80214 303-862-5292 My name is Klare Looney. My husband Jeremy Buck and I recently purchased the property located at 4340 Harlan Street, Wheat Ridge, Co. The property is currently zoned R -C and we are proposing a zone change to Mixed Use. As the property currently stands, there is commercial space located in the front lower half of the building and residential in the back half. We plan on keeping the structural layout throughout the property with basic and minimal cosmetic updates. We plan on renting out the existing residential section located in the back half of the property. We hope to occupy the front commercial part of the property with a second location of my existing childcare that is currently located in Edgewater. I, Klare Looney, am the founder and owner of Lightway at Sloans, one of the highest in demand childcare centers in the Metro area, with over 150 families on the current wait list (Please note that it is a $75 non- refundable waitlist fee). We are currently located in Edgewater, and with the increasing demand of quality child care, we are hoping to open our second location at 4340 Harlan Street. Lightway is considered a Small Center and this business model will be duplicated at the Wheat Ridge location. Lightway will occupy the front two large rooms with a maximum of 15 kids under 3 at a time daily. The current RC zoning allows kindergarten which is children of age 5. We would like to offer day care options for children 6 weeks to 3 years old, which requires a zoning change of Mixed Used. We have attached a parking plan that will safely and efficiently provide what is needed for 4 staff, the residence and parents picking up and dropping off. With this zoning change, Lightway will expose dozens of families from the neighboring areas to the city of Wheat Ridge retail, restaurants and community. Lightway has proven to be a successful addition to the city of Edgewater over the past 8 years and we look forward to being an important addition to Wheat Ridge. Thank you for considering our zoning change request, as we look forward to becoming a proud member of the Wheat Ridge community.

Yes Applicant: Same Existing Zoning: Restricted Commercial (RC) Existing Comp. Plan: Neighborhood, Primary Commercial Corridor Existing Site Conditions: The subject property is located at 4340 Harlan Street. The property is comprised of a .259 acre parcel on the east side of Harlan Street. Currently the property has one structure that has a building footprint of 5,760 square feet. The property was most recently used as a specialty antique store with an ancillary residence. The site is zoned Residential Commercial (RC), and surrounding properties include a variety of zoning designations and land uses. The 4300 block of Harlan is primarily low intensity, neighborhood commercial operations with some residences. To the north of the subject property is a 4,320 square foot commercial structure zoned RC used as general offices. To the south is 2,148 square foot commercial structure zoned RC with a tattoo shop, a dog grooming business and a residence in the rear. To the west is a 1,655 square foot commercial building zoned RC and a 2,417 square foot commercial structure zoned Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MU -N). To the east is a residential neighborhood that is part of the Stevenson Subdivision zoned R-3 developed with low density residential uses. Based on Jefferson County Assessor's records, the subject property is comprised of one parcel totaling .259 acres. The property fronts along Harlan Street and has 75 feet of frontage. There is one curb cut on the south side of the property which is roughly 15 feet in width. It appears that the property utilizes a curb cut on the property to the north. . www.ci.wheatridge.co.us The property was originally built as a residence before being converted to an antique store in the 1970's. When the property was converted to commercial, the owner also constructed an addition that added roughly 4,300 square feet to the building footprint. The rear and top floor of the existing building have been used residentially. Applicant Preliminary Proposal: The applicant is proposing to convert the subject property into a daycare facility with a residential unit on the first floor and an office space for the second and third floor. The daycare facility, Lightway, would have four active staff members for fifteen children comprised of 5 babies and 10 toddlers. The residential unit is an existing condition and is located in the eastern half of the building. The office use for the second floor and third floor would be a product sourcing and development service. The applicant will not be making any alterations to the exterior of the structure. The applicant has expressed an interest to accommodate more parking and landscaping. Because the RC zoning does not allow day care facilities, a zone change to Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MU -N) is begin proposed. A day care facility is a permitted land use in MU -N.

Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the types of uses allowed by the change of zone, or the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity; and 3. At least one (1) of the following conditions exists: The change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance with, the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies, and other city -approved policies or plans for the area. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error. c. A change of character in the area has occurred or is occurring to such a degree that it is in the public interest to encourage redevelopment of the area or to recognize the changing character of the area. d. The proposed rezoning is necessary in order to provide for a community need that was not anticipated at the time of the adoption of the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan. What is zoning? All properties within the City of Wheat Ridge are zoned. Zoning regulates what land uses are allowed and establishes standards for construction including building setbacks, lot coverage, and building height. There are many different zone districts within the City including residential, commercial, industrial, mixed use, and planned development zoning. What is a zone change? A zone change is the process of changing the current zone district to a different zone district. A property owner may choose to change the zoning to use his property differently from what the existing zoning allows (e.g., residential vs. commercial). All proposed commercial, industrial and residential applications for property exceeding one acre in size must be rezoned to a planned development district. Why is a neighborhood meeting required? A neighborhood meeting is required for all zone change requests. The purpose of the meeting is to provide the opportunity for citizens to become aware of the proposed development in their neighborhood, and to allow the developer to respond to citizen concerns regarding the proposed project. All residents within 600 feet are notified of the meeting. How do I give my opinion on a zone change? All public hearings for proposed zone changes are open to the public to appear and give testimony. Testimony can include written correspondence or a statement made at the public hearing. Any written correspondence provided to staff will be forwarded to the Planning Commission and City Council as part of the evidence of the case. All pertinent correspondence should be routed through planning staff. Can I contact my council representative? Public hearings for zone changes are quasi-judicial in nature. This means that the deciding body should make a decision only based on testimony presented at public hearings. Please do not contact the Mayor, Planning Commissioners, or City Council representatives to discuss the merits of the case prior to the public hearings; it could jeopardize their ability to hear the case. What is a legal protest? A legal protest is a formal, written protest which can be submitted by adjacent property owners within 100' of a subject property. If 20% of property owners on one side within a 100' radius file a legal protest, it requires a three-fourths vote of City Council (6 out of 8 members present) to approve a zone change instead of a simple majority (5 out of 8 members present). A legal protest is usually filed after the Planning Commission public hearing.

Staff: Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner Joshua Botts, Planner I Specific Site Location: 4340 Harlan Street (PIN 39-244-99-003) Existing Zoning: RC, Residential Commercial Existing Comp. Plan: Neighborhood, Primary Commercial Con-idor History/Existing Site Conditions: The subject property is located at 4340 Harlan Street. The property is comprised of a .259 acre parcel on the east side of Harlan Street. Currently the property has one structure that has a building footprint of 5,760 square feet. The property was most recently used as a specialty antique store with an ancillary residence. The site is zoned Residential Commercial (RC), and surrounding properties include a variety of zoning designations and land uses. The 4300 block of Harlan is primarily low intensity, neighborhood commercial operations with some residences. To the north of the subject property is a 4,320 square foot commercial structure zoned RC used as general offices. To the south is 2,148 square foot commercial structure zoned RC with a tattoo shop, a dog grooming business and a residence in the rear. To the west is a 1,655 square foot commercial building zoned RC and a 2,417 square foot commercial structure zoned Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MU -N). To the east is a residential neighborhood that is part of the Stevenson Subdivision zoned R-3 developed with low density residential uses. Based on Jefferson County Assessor's records, the subject property is comprised of one parcel totaling .259 acres. The property fronts along Harlan Street and has 75 feet of frontage. There is one curb cut on the south side of the property which is roughly 15 feet in width. It appears that the property utilizes a curb cut on the property to the north. . The property was originally built as a residence before being converted to an antique store in the 1970's. When the property was converted to commercial, the owner also constructed an addition that added roughly 4,300 square feet to the building footprint. The rear and top floor of the existing building have been used residentially. Applicant Preliminary Proposal: The applicant is proposing to convert the subject property into a daycare facility with a residential unit on the first floor and an office space for the second and third floor. The daycare facility, Lightway, would have four active staff members for fifteen children comprised of 5 babies and 10 toddlers. The residential unit is an existing condition and is located in the eastern half of the building. The office use for the second floor and third floor would be a product sourcing and development service. The applicant will not be making any alterations to the exterior of the structure. The applicant has expressed an interest to accommodate more parking and landscaping. Will a neighborhood meeting need to be held prior to application submittal? Yes, a neighborhood meeting is required for private rezoning applications. Planning comments: The following items were discussed based on the applicant's proposal: Zoning The site is currently zoned Restricted Commercial (R -C). The intent of the zone district is to provide for a reasonably compatible transition between residential and more intensive commercial land uses. It provides for residential scale, neighborhood -oriented professional offices and services which, by their nature and through design limitation, will promote neighborhood stability and protect neighborhood values and character. The zoned district also provides limited neighborhood -oriented retail uses by special use approval. Under the RC zoning district, day care centers are not permitted. Because they are not allowed under the current zoning conditions, the applicant has requested a rezoning. Daycare centers are a permitted use in the Industrial -Employment (I -E) district, Commercial -One (C-1) and Commercial -Two (C-2) districts. While these zoning districts allow for daycare facilities, the intensity associated with these zoning districts are not consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan and the existing neighborhood uses for the proposed location. Staff has recommended the Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MU -N) zoning district. The purpose of the MU -N district is to create a flexible approach to land uses and maintains the character and integrity of adjacent residential neighborhoods. The MU -N district is generally located along neighborhood main streets, such as Harlan Street. In addition to residential uses, the MU -N district allows for a more limited range of neighborhood serving commercial uses. 2 Parking The current site is inadequately striped and parking stalls are not clearly defined. Staff has requested the applicant provide a parking plan that meets the following requirements: Daycares require 1 parking space per each faculty or staff member plus 1 off-street loading/unloading space per each 8 students or children plus 1 parking space for each bus or van operated by the child care facility. The minimum requirement for office parking is 2 spaces per 1,000 square feet of office space. The minimum requirement for residential parking is 1 space per unit. It was suggested by Staff that a joint parking agreement be pursued with the property to the north. Building Division comments: A representative of the building division was not present. The applicant was encouraged to discuss the proposed change of use with a building representative to ensure that all building codes are met. The City has adopted and currently enforces the 2012 Edition of the International Codes and the 2014 Edition of the National Electrical Code and enforces the 2009-A 117.1 ANSI Standard for Accessible and Usable Buildings in determining requirements related to building accessibility. Designs should conform to the requirements of these codes. Please refer to the Building Division's permit submittal checklist for additional information: http://www.ci.wheatridge.co.us/I 068/Permit-Submittal-Information. Questions related to the requirements of the International Fire Code should be directed to the appropriate fire district in which the property is located. Public Works comments: The Public Works Department was not present for the meeting. It is not anticipated that any traffic or drainage documents would be required at this time. Zone Change Process: This request will require a zone change application. The zone change process can take about four months, and the first step in the process began with the pre -application meeting on May 15, 2015. The next step in the process is to conduct a neighborhood meeting. For this meeting, the applicant must notify all property owners within a 600 -foot radius of the property. Notification may be via mail or hand delivery. The Community Development Department will supply the applicant with a list of all property owners within the 600 -foot radius. A sample notification letter is attached and can be used as a template. The letter will need to be approved by a planner before it is mailed. The meeting should be coordinated with the assigned staff member. Meetings are typically held at City Hall. The meeting will be led by the applicant and should inform those who are in attendance what is being proposed; planning staff will be present to describe the zone change process. After the neighborhood meeting is held, the applicant may submit a formal application for the zone change. An appointment with a planner is required to submit the application. The application must include a written justification of the requested zone change to MU -N. Please refer to the zone change application checklist that is attached to this summary and was distributed at the pre -application meeting. After the application is submitted, a case manager will review it for content. If all submittal requirements have been met, the application will be sent to outside agencies for review. This referral period is 15 days long and allows time for agencies to comment on the application. After all comments have been received, the case manager will forward those to the applicant. Modifications to the application may be required as a result of these comments. Once all comments and requirements have been met, the zone change application can be scheduled for public hearing in front of Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is a body of appointed Wheat Ridge citizens that reviews various land use proposals and makes a recommendation to City Council. Publication in the Wheat Ridge Transcript, notice to landowners within 300 feet, and posting signs on the property are required prior to the Planning Commission hearing. The City will coordinate the publication, will mail notices of the hearing, and will provide the applicant with the posting signs. The notifications and postings must occur at least 15 days prior to the public hearing. Using the criteria in Section 26-112.13 of the Municipal Code, the case manager will prepare a staff report and make a recommendation to present at the Planning Commission public hearing. After the staff report is presented at the hearing, the applicant and members of the audience will be allowed to give testimony regarding the application. Generally, a decision for recommendation will be made at the end of the public hearing; sometimes a case will be continued to another hearing date for further study and input. Regardless of the Planning Commission recommendation, the case is automatically scheduled for public hearing in front of City Council. The zone change requires two readings and must be approved by ordinance by the City Council. The first reading of the ordinance is not a public hearing and no testimony is given regarding the case. The first reading date is solely for the purpose of publicly setting the date for the public hearing. The second reading of the ordinance is a public hearing. The same requirements for landowner notification and posting will be followed as for the Planning Commission public hearing. A staff report with recommendations will be presented at the public hearing. If approved, the zone change ordinance goes into effect 15 days following the final publication of the ordinance.
