Closing a school and moving students into a newly identified school to serve the neighborhood students attending the closed school. Relocate students into an adjacent/nearby existing school or consolidate two existing schools into a new single school; will require boundary changes. Changing the grades served in a given school. For example, moving from a 7-8 middle school to a 6-8 middle school. Generic term referring to the grades, courses, pathways, etc. offered in a facility. Adjustments to the school day and school year to increase the volume of students served in a facility. For example, split sessions: half of the student body attends an A.M. session and the other half attends a P.M. session . 1) FMP Recognizes Enrollment Trends (Growth & Decline) • Reasons for Growth/Decline • Long or Short Term • Demographic, Socio-Economic • Program Offerings • Means to Address Population Density Changes • New Buildings • Additions/Renovations/Modulars • Consolidations/Closures • Grade Reconfiguration • Boundary Adjustments • School Scheduling Changes • Growth due to Programs/Athletics/Activities • Career and Tech Ed Programs/Pre-School/Special Needs • School/Community Athletic Resources 2) FMP Maximizes Efficiencies • Educational • Administrative Staff Operational Cost Reductions • Program Change Opportunities • Grade Reconfiguration to Increase Enrollment at Underutilized Facilities • Decrease Enrollment at Over-Enrolled Facilities • Facilities • Maintenance, Operations, Utility Cost Reductions • Reduction in Priority Deferred Maintenance • Energy and Water Savings • Transportation • School Locations Effect upon Transportation Services • Boundary Changes and Community Impact 3) FMP Reviewed Program Equity & Past Promises • Program Equity issues: • Auxiliary Gymnasiums in High Schools • Artificial Turf Fields High Schools • Review Projects Proposed in 2008 • 3 High Schools • 1 Middle School • 1 Elementary School • 2 Option Schools • Develop Facility Master Plans • 3 High Schools • Career & Tech Ed Facility 4) FMP Addresses Deferred Maintenance Needs • Assessment and Evaluation of Priority Needs • High FCI Buildings • End of Life-Cycle; Repair, Replace • Address Higher Priority Deficiencies • Educational Adequacy • Exterior Envelope • Site, Parking, Underground Utilities • Interior Finishes-Carpet & Paint, Lighting, Cabinetry • HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical Upgrades. • Building Technology • Safety and Security Upgrades • Secure Vestibules • Door Hardware • Security System/Video Monitoring 5) FMP Identifies New Square Footage Needs • Recommendations for Additions, Major Renovations & Reconstruction/Replacement • Cost Benefit Analysis • Determine Location, Size, Develop Timeline, Budget Projections • Ancillary & Support Facilities • Stadiums & Fields Renovation/New • Transportation Terminals and Maintenance Shop Locations Our Goal is to provide the Best Learning Environment for our Students, and the Best Teaching Environment for our Staff JEFF CO 2020 Vision eon1en1 Mnte<y I CMa & C1otM11 ~ I eommunic.11on Cnticol Thtnlnt'!Q & Cree1Mty ScfH)l<ection t.

An Enrollment Projections Report that analyzes future growth and reviews the past, by articulation area, is published annually by the Facilities Department and available to the public. The statistical information utilized in this Master Plan is developed from this annual Enrollment Projections Report. Current trends indicate that the north and northwest areas are seeing significant growth due to residential development. Central area growth is stable-to-increasing. This area is impacted by socio-economic factors, household mobility, multi-generational families, and affordable housing. West central growth is increasing due to residential development. 9 114 118 14{) 181 192 155 261 145 • Challenges and Needs The south area is stable-to-declining, with pockets of growth; the area is very dependent upon residential turnover and affordable housing for younger families. The west area is stable with some growth. Charter schools showed significant growth with the addition of one charter this past school year, one new charter anticipated for the upcoming school year, and overall moderate growth at the others. The goal is to better utilize the district's facilities including providing the best overall opportunities to accommodate the various levels of teaching and support for educational programs. Enrollment by Geographic Area High Growth: North County & Along Highway 93 (Candelas and Leyden Rock), Central Lakewood, and Edgewater Moderate Growth: West Lakewood (Solterra) Stable Growth: West Area Slow or No Growth: Pockets in North and South County Reasons for Current Growth Patterns: Economic and Population Growth Improving Real Estate Market Reasons for Anticipated Future Growth Patterns: 2013 Saw its First Increase in Birthrate since 2006 Increase in Property Sales, Decrease in Foreclosures, Increased Availability of Affordable Housing in Established Neighborhoods Operational Needs Program modifications and more efficient facility utilization can affect operational costs. Identifying Needs Facility Assessment Process and the District-Wide Facility Master Plan This process included establishing guidelines and parameters from which Facilities developed this Master Plan. • Facilities provided information about the conditions of buildings, usage, efficiency, enrollment trends, boundaries, maintenance and operations. • Facilities developed this master plan within the BOE guidelines that will provide direction for future development. 10 • This Master Plan will become a key component in the development of capital programs, including construction bond programs. • This Master Plan will also play an important part in communicating facility needs and future district plans to the community. Educational Adequacy Educational Adequacy Categories To comprehensively assess educational effectiveness, it is necessary to understand the components that affect the instructional or teaching program. These components can generally be formulated into standards or guidelines that bridge the gaps between the architectural programs from which schools are built and the district's educational standards. There may be numerous criteria that contribute to educational adequacy, however, in general they fall into eight major categories: Capacity: The ability of core facilities to meet needs of the student population. It is critical to consider the programs at a particular campus and the impact these programs have on classroom inventory and student teaching stations. It is also important to evaluate the use of permanent versus temporary structures. Support for Programs: The provision of special spaces or classrooms that support specific curriculum offerings such as, among others, music, sports, science, and technology programs. Technology: The presence of infrastructure, data distribution/storage, and equipment within classrooms and laboratory settings. This includes local area network cabling, video distribution systems, electrical power outlet s, and projection or video display screens. Security and Supervision: The extent to which physical configurations help or hinder building operations and includes both passive and physical security. Instructional Support: The presence of necessary equipment within teaching spaces including, among others, teacher storage, student storage, writing and tack surfaces, sinks, demonstration tables, and fixed audio/video equipment. Physical Characteristics: This focuses primarily on the sizes and shapes of individual teaching spaces and their adequacy to support program needs. Learning Environment: The degree to which learning areas are comfortable, well-lit, odor- free, controllable, and quiet. 11 Relationship of Spaces: The proximity of instructional spaces to support areas like, among others, libraries, restrooms, and student dining and recreational areas. These above eight categories establish the criteria for data collection and subsequent data- generated analysis. At any school, there are certain things that can be resolved or upgraded, and there are specific things that cannot realistically be resolved without spending more than the replacement value of a structure. For instance, electrical outlets can be added, flooring materia Is can be changed, and data ports can be installed. However, it is generally cost prohibitive to reconfigure a building's layout, expand a classroom to house five extra students, or move a library. The eight categories are used to identify "deficiencies" that can be repaired or upgraded, and "inadequacies" that simply impact a building's learning environment and should be considered when making decisions that will affect the long-term utilization of a particular facility. Educational Adequacy Assessment Educational adequacy is reviewed and updated annually by staff site visits and assessments, interviews with principals, and an annual building usage survey. The information obtained is then reviewed and any changes or modifications to usage entered into the FACTS database.

The index is derived by dividing the total repair cost, including educational adequacy and site-related repairs, into the total replacement cost for the set of facilities. Based on previous district experience and consultation with district staff, the following scale was implemented: Less than 5% Best 6%to 10% Good 11% to 20% Average 21% to 30% Below Average 31% to 50% Poor 51% to 65% Very Poor Greater than 65% Replacement Candidate The FCI factor can assist in evaluating the adequacy, or inadequacies, of facilities to accommodate the educational programs of which the buildings were designed. Academic, School, and Community Input In the development of this Facilities Master Plan, Facilities received input from multiple sources and resources, including: • The Superintendent and Members of the Superintendent's Cabinet • Achievement Directors • Principal Questionnaires • Enrollment Projections • Summary of Findings Anticipated Implementation Schedule Implementation is based on a 5 to 7 year plan: • Year 1: Deferred Maintenance and Minor Upgrades; Some K-5 transitions • Year 2: Additions and Program Support, Deferred Maintenance, Upgrades • Year 3: Replacement Schools, Major Renovations and Additions, and Program Support • Year 4: New Facilities, Major Renovations and Additions, and Program Support • Year 5 and Beyond: Deferred Maintenance, Upgrades 14 Identifying and Prioritizing Needs Prioritizing Educational Needs and Establishing Guidelines The following were considered in the evaluations: School Consolidations • Relocate Students into Adjacent/Nearby Existing Schools. • Consolidate Two Existing Schools into a Single New School.

Each Area includes the following information which is presented in two parts: Part 1: Part 2: • Overview: General summary of enrollment and capacity in the Articulation Area. • Current Conditions: Each school listed with FCI, Utilization, Enrollment, Choice In, and Choice Out information. • Five Year Projections: General summary of projected enrollment and trends . • Articulation Area Facilities: Detailed overview of each facility including date constructed, dates of additions, facility size, site acreage, and temporary portable buildings, if present. Targeted Improvements are listed if there are recommended changes or considerations associated with capacity or utilization. • Facility Department Recommendations: One or more recommendations on Operational Efficiencies, Utilization, Educational Models, School and/or Program Consolidations, as well as other Options. Permanent Capacity vs. Title I Capacity Permanent Capacity: In addition to the permanent building capacity, the Permanent Capacity numbers shown include temporary modular building capacities if students currently occupy the modulars. Title I Capacity: Although important and considered in the building utilization of each evat uation, permanent capacity values were not reduced or modified to accommodate potential variations on how each facility is currently utilized because of Title I assignment. This was to ensure consistent evaluations of district-wide utilization needs. The following Articulation Areas are Included: Alameda Articulation Area Arvada Articulation Area Arvada West Articulation Area Bear Creek Articulation Area Chatfield Articulation Area Columbine Articulation Area Conifer Articulation Area Dakota Ridge Articulation Area Evergreen Articulation Area Golden Articulation Area 16 Green Mountain Articulation Area Jefferson Articulation Area Lakewood Articulation Area Pomona Articulation Area Ralston Valley Articulation Area Standley Lake Articulation Area Wheat Ridge Articulation Area Options District-Wide Alameda Articulation Area OVERVIEW: Stable enrollment combined with improved utilization at the HS/MS levels. In 2015, Alameda International HS was converted to a 7-12 school and is slightly under-enrolled. Kendrick Lakes is at capacity. The rest of the elementary schools are at or near ideal enrollment. Rose Stein Elementary School is currently closed for renovation and will reopen for the 2017-18 school year. Stein ES students are housed in the Emory O'Connell ES facility. Alameda 7-12, Deane, Lasley, and Stein are Title I schools. 2015-16 Capacity: 3,031 available seats at the Elementary schools (including O'Connell), current enrollment 2,446 -81% utilization; Middle and High School (7-12 at Alameda lnt'I) available seats 1,610, current enrollment 1,282 -80% utilization. The MS student enrollment at Alameda lnt'I (7-12) is 466.

Development in the Alameda Area consists of small residential pockets that do not usually produce a large number of school age children. The Green Gables development near Jewell and Wadsworth will bring new students to the area. Stabilization of multi-family rental rates will increase enrollment also. The Rose Stein ES projections starting in 2017-18 include approximately half of those students that will return from the Emory O'Connell ES. 17 Alameda Articulation Area (continued) School 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 Deane ES 475 470 475 450 451 Lasley ES 465 465 458 454 453 Kendrick Lakes ES 476 475 463 465 471 Patterson ES 352 365 351 341 340 Patterson PK 138 127 148 152 156 Rose Stein PK 69 65 76 70 68 Rose Stein ES 0 313 311 305 298 Stein at O'Connell 650 0 0 0 0 Emory O'Connell ES 0 314 312 306 298 Alameda 7-12 1,292 1,310 1,354 1,390 1,435 Total 3,917 3,904 3,948 3,933 3,970 ARTICULATION AREA FACILITIES: Alameda International Jr/Sr High School Originally constructed in 1961, additions were added in 1968, 1974, 1976, 1996, 2001, and 2009.

Elementary school utilization varies with over-enrollment in some areas and significant under-enrollment in others. Hackberry Hill has a large gifted and talented program and Foster serves a very large boundary. 2015-16 Capacity: 3,926 available seats at the Elementary schools, current enrollment 3,305 - 84% utilization; K-8 School 701 available seats, current enrollment 631 -90% utilization; Middle School 861 available seats, current enrollment 443 -51% utilization; High School available seats 2,006, current enrollment 937 -47% utilization.

There is very little in the way of residential growth except for multi-family directed towards light-rail. These developments tend not to generate a significant number of students at any grade level. Single family residential turn-over and possible alterations to the types of programs offered at the high school level may increase the student population. 23 Arvada Articulation Area (continued) School 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 Fitzmorris ES 351 340 329 334 331 Foster ES 551 545 545 526 516 Hackberry Hill ES 492 501 507 506 508 Lawrence ES 348 352 362 333 343 Peck ES 332 340 345 355 352 Secrest ES 405 414 385 451 406 Swanson ES 391 381 373 378 378 Thomson ES 408 405 406 403 381 Arvada K-8 629 618 636 637 632 North Arvada MS 443 430 417 411 424 Arvada HS 930 937 932 917 930 Total S,280 S,263 S,237 S,251 S,201 ARTICULATION AREA FACILITIES: Arvada High School Originally constructed in 1971, additions were added in 1983, 1989, 1997, and 2001.

Arvada West HS, Drake MS, Fairmount ES, and Stott ES are at or near optimum enrollment. The remaining elementary schools are under-enrolled. The proposed Table Rock Mesa School will have an impact on this and the Golden Articulation area depending upon the size and grade configuration. 2015-16 Capacity: 2,672 available seats at the Elementary schools, current enrollment 2,299 - 86% utilization; Middle School 736 available seats, current enrollment 685 -93% utilization; High School 1,858 available seats, current enrollment l, 751 -94% utilization.

This area is experiencing significant growth due to new single family residential development in the area north of 1-70 and east of Highway 93. The developments aren't the size of Candelas or Leyden Rock but are such that they will add a significant number of students, combined with neighborhood turnover. The growth will offset declines in the more established eastern neighborhoods. 29 Arvada West Articulation Area (continued) School 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 Allendale ES 210 200 208 205 204 Campbell ES 304 298 304 293 290 Fairmount ES 650 655 665 658 668 Fremont ES 330 337 344 340 353 Stott ES 348 374 362 390 392 Vanderhoof ES 472 479 480 475 466 Drake MS 668 678 688 677 677 Arvada West HS 1,753 1,764 1,750 1,741 1,733 Total 4,735 4,785 4,801 4,779 4,783 ARTICULATION AREA FACILITIES: Arvada West High School Originally constructed in 2003, the two story building has 237,052 SF of area with an applied capacity of 1,858.

Significant capacity is available in Carmody MS providing the opportunity to convert to a 6-8 facility and changing the elementary schools to KS. This articulation area has three schools-Green Gables, Peiffer, and Red Rocks-with high FCI. A 'past promise' exists to replace Green Gables with a new elementary at the same site. Projected growth of the Green Gables golf course development (Jewell and Wadsworth) will impact this articulation area as well as Alameda. Discussions to relocate the development into the Bear Creek Articulation area have been held but no recommendations or decisions made. 2015-16 Capacity: 2,510 available seats at the Elementary schools, current enrollment 2,103 - 84% utilization; K-8 1,051 available seats, current enrollment 1,104 -105% utilization; Middle School 998 available seats, current enrollment 569 -57% utilization; High School 2,114 available seats, current enrollment 1,634-77% utilization.

The articulation area is mature and enrollment growth will come from turnover in the neighborhoods. The housing is 'affordable' with opportunities for growth from migration west from the Sheridan corridor. There are large tracts of undeveloped property east of Wadsworth and south of the Green Gables development that could impact enrollment, but there are no development plans at this time. 35 Bear Creek Articulation Area (continued) School 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 Bear Creek K-8 1,109 1,113 1,100 1,110 1,126 Green Gables ES 303 309 308 306 303 Kendallvue ES 523 520 551 548 536 Peiffer ES 394 390 383 372 376 Red Rocks ES 320 336 318 317 326 Westgate ES 574 576 589 612 626 Carmody MS 546 532 528 524 521 Bear Creek HS 1,614 1,602 1,598 1,572 1,550 Total 5,383 5,378 5,375 5,361 S,364 ARTICULATION AREA FACILITIES: Bear Creek High School: The building was replaced in 2008 incorporating a 2002 addition to the Bear Creek Elementary School that became Bear Creek K-8 at a different location.

There are eight modulars on the 8.5 acre (5.7 acres owned by Lakewood) site. 36 Bear Creek Articulation Area (continued) FACILITY DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: K-5 ELEMENTARIES & 6-8 MIDDLE SCHOOL: Convert most elementary schools to K-5 to reduce enrollment, reduce modulars and build capacity into schools. No additional area required at Carmody to accomplish this change. Modular reduction would be from 28 to 4 remaining in service at Red Rocks. Review boundary changes between Westgate and Green Gables; also between Red Rocks and Bradfords though this involves a change in matriculation. Assumes Green Gables replacement would come on line for the 2018-19 school year and would reduce the enrollment at Westgate and decrease utilization at Green Gables.

Deer Creek's growth can be attributed to the STEM curriculum offered to 61h grade students. Significant capacity is available at Deer Creek MS providing the opportunity to convert to a full 6-8 facility and the possibility of converting t he elementary schools to KS. The two Bradford schools will offer a K-8 program beginning in the 2016 school year. This articulation area has two schools, Coronado and Stony Creek, with relatively high FCI. 2015-16 Capacity: 2,920 available seats at the Elementary schools, current enrollment 2,534 - 87% utilization; 975 available seats at the Bradford K-8, current enrollment 717 -74% utilization; Middle School 1,997 available seats, current enrollment 1,313 -66% utilization; High School 2,360 available seats, current enrollment 1,811-77% utilization.

The articulation area is mature and enrollment growth will come from turnover in the neighborhoods with limited opportunities for new development. The existing housing is 'affordable'. Growth opportunities for neighborhood schools can come from creating capacity with better utilization of existing facilities. Introducing PreK at Bradford and boundary adjustment with Red Rocks ES may provide additional enrollment in the Ken Caryl area . 39 Chatfield Articulation Area (continued) School 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 Bradford K-8 691 669 678 686 683 Coronado ES 610 609 636 635 619 Mortensen ES 459 469 475 469 464 Shaffer ES 537 535 537 552 543 Stony Creek ES 472 448 431 408 435 Ute Meadows ES 453 431 416 403 411 Deer Creek MS 689 700 704 688 695 Falcon Bluffs MS 653 682 668 680 690 Chatfield HS 1,800 1,808 1,851 1,903 1,924 Total 6,364 6,351 6,396 6,424 6,464 ARTICULATION AREA FACILITIES: Chatfield High School: Originally constructed in 1986 with additions added in 1987 and 2008 and an applied capacity of 2,360.

FACILITY DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: Convert Deer Creek to a full 6-8 facility; 61h grade students from Coronado, Mortensen, Stony Creek elementary schools to Deer Creek, Ute Mea dows 6th grade to Falcon Bluffs. Elementary schools become K-5 to reduce enrollment, reduce modulars and build capacity into schools. No additional square footage required at any location to accomplish this change. Modular reduction would be from 22 to 2 remaining in service at Coronado. Review boundary changes between Red Rocks and Bradford though this Involves a change in matriculation. Consider a PreK at Bradford Primary. MATRICULATION CHANGES: Colorow Elementary School: Incorporate Stony Creek north 'panhandle' into Colorow boundary.

Middle school students in this articulation area can attend the 7-12 or choice into one of the other middle schools. There is insufficient data to make anything other than an 'educated guess' based upon past trends as how successful this change will be. All the elementary schools are over-enrolled with a significant number of modulars providing the additional space necessary to meet the number of students. There are 25 modulars at the three elementary schools. There is a lack of development in the area; growth is either from the existing community, neighborhood 'turnover' and 'gentrification', or choice enrollment. This is a high mobility area also, with enrollment increases or decreases dependent upon rental rates. 2015-16 Capacity: 1,875 available seats at the Elementary schools, current enrollment 1,530 - 82% utilization; Middle & High School (7-12) 997 available seats, current enrollment 731-73% utilization. The MS student enrollment at Jefferson (7-12) is 271.

The five-year projections are based upon data from the previous configuration of the articulation area. The high mobility and availability of below market priced housing can cause significant fluctuations in enrollment. Replacement of modular classrooms with permanent square footage could reduce the percentage of families choosing to choice out of the neighborhood boundaries. 67 Jefferson Articulation Area (continued) --------- 11 -~.' .: ' ".

There is a lack of development in the area; growth is either from the existing community, neighborhood 'turnover' and 'gentrification', or choice enrollment. The development that does exist is related to Light Rail and tends to focus on multi-family housing with minimal children.

Dennison, D' Evelyn, and Manning offer programs geared towards academic excellence with Dennison and Manning exceeding 100% utilization. These facilities are located in the central and south-central areas. Adding sites in the north and south areas should be considered; although, providing additional sites may dilute the candidate pool and increase enrollment at the expense of neighborhood schools. There is increased interest in career, technical education (CTI). The Warren Tech enrollment doesn't appear to support that, but the students that attend Warren Tech are counted in their home schools. 1,200 students attend Warren Tech Central (WT) and 300 Warren Tech North programs each day. Students are responsible for getting themselves to their classes at either campus. Consideration should be given to the creation of another campus located in south area of the district that could offer programs similar to current locations, new programs, or both. The other option is to reconfigure an under-utilized facility to a CTE oriented school that will provide an additional location. 94 Options (continued) Jeffco Open School originally constructed in 1930 with additions in 1977, 1995, and 1997 underwent a major addition and renovation in 2010 which constituted Phase I of the work. Phase I removed approximately 50,000 SF from the center of the building. Phase I constructed these spaces: administration, commons, kitchen, early childhood and primary grades, art, Special Ed, music, site and playground redevelopment. The Proposed Phase II includes a new gymnasium, mechanical plant, renovation of the existing west classroom wing, and renovation of the existing gymnasium. Miller Special originally constructed in 1963 with additions in 1989 and 2000. This facility is unique in that it serves students with special needs that cannot be accommodated in the neighborhood schools. A phased master plan was developed in 2008 that called for the demolition and replacement of about 75% of the facility and the renovation of the remaining portion. Master Plan and phased improvements are still valid. Long View High School serves a small number of students in a series of modular buildings southwest of McClain High School. Placed in service in 1967 these buildings have some of the highest FCI in the district. Recommendation is to relocate the program to a different location (Brady or Mcl ain) and demolish the ex isting building.

City of ~Wheat Ri_dge TO: THROUG H: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Introduction Memorandum Mayor and City Council ('\ \ Patrick Gof1~ City Manager ~ Ken Johnstone, Community Development Director Scott Brink, Public Works Director Mark Westberg, Projects Supervisor Lauren Mikulak, Senior Planner May 6, 2016 (for May 16 Study Session) 381h Streetscape Alternatives 7 tern 3 The final public meeting for the Cre8 Your 38 streetscape design process was held on April 271h, with 64 individuals signing in as attending. ln order to allow further comment, an on-line survey was made available for one week. On May 12. an additional meeting will be held, in two sessions, for the businesses and property owners along 381h A venue. This culminates the process in which approximately! ,000 citizens and stakeholders have participated at the meetings or on line to reach a community consensus on what to do with the Main Street portion of 381h Avenue, as defined in the October 201 J adopted 38111 Avenue Corridor Plan. The purpose of this memo is to outline the various alternatives and their implications in moving forward with implementation of the City's Main Street on 38th Avenue. Background A memo was provided to City Council for the April 4th Study Session which included the background and the outcomes of the Cre8 Your 38 process. 111is memo and a copy of the Council presentation have been attached for reference. Implementation Alternatives fo r 381h Avenue There are four alternatives presented below. The first two originate from the public processes associated with the recently completed Cre8 Your 38. Also included for Counci l consideration is a No-Action alternative and the existing Streetscapc Design Manual. • No-Action • 2016 Full Reconstruction • 2016 Retrofit • Streetscape Design Manual 3g•h A venue Streetscape Alternatives May 16, 2016 Page2 If, for whatever reason, it is not possible to implement a streetscape project at this time, an additional alternative is described below related to The Green-the area between Stevens Elementary and 381h A venue at High Court. Adding enhancements to public spaces to create more activity on the Corridor is a recommendation from the 201 I Corridor Plan. Enhancement to The Green could represent a lower cost option for improving the functionality and appearance of the City's downtown. This alternative could also be implemented along with any of the other alternati ves. Attached to this memo are photo simulations to help City Council and the public better visualize the impact of each of the alternatives. The photo simulations were done on the north side of the street between High Cou rt and Reed Street facing east. This location was selected as it is fairly typical of the corridor with the attached sidewalk and a wide dri veway. All of the photo simulations of the proposed alternatives show the driveway being narrowed to a more standard width. Also attached to this memo is an exhibit from Cre8 Your 38 Meeting #3 (March 10) showing the Reconstruction and Retrofit alternatives. After the descriptions, two tables have been includ ed that summarize the elements and implementation requirements of each alternative to allow quick comparisons of the alternatives. No Action This alternative would leave the street. sidewalks, and amenities along the corridor in its current configuration. The current striping has been in place fo r four years and was based on recommendations from the adopted 201 1 Corridor Plan. This stakeholder developed plan proposed this low cost option of simply restriping the street to test the results of the traffic analysis that recommended reducing the street from four and five lanes to three lanes. Data gathered since the restriping shows that the street has performed as predicted by the traffic study. The existing 5-foot wide sidewalks were left intact with minimal enhancements using planters and pop-up cafes. 2016 Full Reconst111ctio11 Thjs alternative would reconstruct the corridor based on the 2016 participant-preferred alternative from the recently completed Cre8 Your 38 process. At Council 's request, this process was designed to be int eractive and inclusive, gathering ideas from as many people in the Wheat Ridge community as possible. Public outreach included over 8,000 mailed meeting invitations, Connections newsletter articles, a presentation at the August 31, 2015 Town Hall meeting, small group meetings, Facebook updates. promotional and summary videos onli ne and on Channel 8, project information banners in City buildings and on 381h A venue, meeting announcements through variable message signs. informational handouts included in "Friday Folders'' at public schools, four public workshops, an online survey. and a final open house. Ultimately, approxim ately 1,000 people chose to participate in the process. As many have observed, this design is very similar to the 2014 Design, with detached sidewaJks and amenity zones. The most significant difference is that the amenity zone width may be as narrow as 4-feet instead of the minimum 6-feet included in the 2014 Design. The similarity of 38'11 Avenue Streetscape Alternatives May 16, 2016 Page3 these two designs can only be attributed to the public processes through which they were designed. The Cre8 Your 38 design process in particular was designed to allow pa1ticipants to explore all possible options. lt was through an iterative public process of voting and subsequent narrowing these design options that the Reconstruction alternative was designed and selected. Each element is the result of participant input. The range of estimated costs for this alternative was between $7.5 and $9.75 million. 2016 Retro.fit This alternative would add amenity islands in front of the existing curb/gutter along the corridor. This design was also developed during the Cre8 Your 38 process, but did not receive the majority of votes during Meeting #3. However. since attendance at that meeting was lower than the prior meetings, this alternative is being presented to Council as one of the alternatives. The street would continue to be three lanes with the remaining pavement being removed to construct the amenity zones. The existing narrower, 5-foot, sidewalks would remain and would be separated from the amenity zones by the existing curb/gutter. Because of the separation from the exjsting sidewalk. the amenity zones could contain the lighting but could be difficult to use for benches, trash cans, or some other amenities. The range of estimated costs for this alternative was between $4.5 and $6. 75 miJlion. Streetscape Design Manual The Streetscape Design Manual (SDM) was adopted in 2011 and establishes streetscape requirements for important corridors throughout the City. The purpose of the manual is to promote high-quality streets that enhance the public realm. Per Sections 26-110 and 26-4 17 of the Municipal Code, new development or subdivision platting can trigger requirements for a developer/property owner to dedicate right-of-way and/or construct enhanced streetscape along the property frontage. If none of the above designs are selected, this manual would be implemented as the default regulatory document. This alternative is similar to the No-Action alternative because the existing street configuration would not change. On 3gth Avenue, the SDM requires an 8-foot sidewalk and 6-foot amenity zone. TI1ese would be added behind the existing curb, and the streetscape would be incrementally improved as redevelopment occurs along the corridor. Jn most cases. this would require a developer to dedicate up to 9-feet of right-of-way behind the back of existing sidewalk. In comparison to the previous alternatives, this has the potential to impact development potential of parcels along the corridor where some parcels have limited depth. The estimated cost to implement this alternative is approximately $700 per lineal foot of property frontage. This estimate includes the engineering, land, and construction costs. The Green The open space between Steven's Elementary (previously Wheat Ridge 5-8) and 3gth A venue is commonly referred to as The Green and has been critical in accommodating community events, particularly since adoption of the Corridor Plan. A June I, 2013 memorandwn of understanding 3gth A venue Streetscape Alternatives May 16, 2016 Page4 between the City and school district has allowed for conu1rnnity use of the school property. This land is the single largest vacant property on the corridor. As part of the 2014 streetscape design process. a conceptual design for The Green was developed. This design is attached and includes re-grading of the lawn, an enhanced landscape buffer along 38111 Avenue, retainjng wall seating at the north end, and an at-grade amphitheater. This relatively low cost project would not require any changes to the street but would continue to build on the community's Main Street vision by enhancing a civic gathering space and better supporting commuruty events. In the past, the school district expressed support for the conceptual design. Cost estimates have not been prepared for these improvements. Street Implementation Requirements Jn addition to having differences in the elements noted in Table 1, the various alternatives will also have different requirements for implementation. The No-Action alternative has the least amount of cost and process to the City, with maintenance costs only and no process. The Streetscape Design Manual alternative still only bas maintenance costs. but adds the complication of requiring property owners to consolidate driveways as properties are redeveloped. This could be difficult where driveways are proposed to be shared between two properties if only one is redeveloping. The 2016 Retrofit alternative involves higher costs, street width designation, driveway consolidation, and restriping the street. The 2016 Reconstruction alternative has the highest cost and requires street width designation and driveway consolidation. Comparison of Street Alternatives Table I provides a comparison of the elements of the various alternatives that impact the street.

Staff is not recommending one alternative over another. Once a path forward is identified by Council, a more specific implementation plan would be developed by staff, but the following next steps would typically be required: • Prepare a budget and implementation schedule for the selected alternative, including potential phasing options • Present the budget and schedule to City Cow1cil and finalize the scope of the project • Assist City Council in identifying and obtaining funding • Hire an engineering consulting finn to: o Prepare the construction plans and specifications o Work with property owners on driveway consolidations and temporary construction easements o After 60% plans are completed, change the designated street width, if necessary o Prior to construction, bost public meetings to discuss design and construction impacts with property owners and tenants • Hire a contractor to construct the project Attachments I.

City of • _rWheatR.!9ge Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council THROUGH: Patrick Goff, City Manager Ken Johnstone, Community Development Director Scott Brink, Public Works Director FROM: Mark Westberg, Projects Supervisor Lauren Mikulak, Senior Planner DATE: March 25, 2016 (for April 4 Study Session) SUBJECT: Cre8 Your 38 -Process Update Introduction The Crc8 Your 38 streetscape design process commenced in August 2015 when Britina Design Group was first introduced to the community at the City's Town Hall meeting. Since then hundreds of citizens and stakeholders have participated in the public process to reach a community consensus on what to do with the Main Street portion of38th Avenue, as defined in the October 20 I I adopted 381h A venue Corridor Plan. The purpose of this memo is to update Council on the status of the Cre8 Your 38 streetscape design process. The final open house is scheduled for April 27th to wrap up the public input process. An opportunity for discussion on moving forward with implementation will be available at the May 16 study session. Background On May 18, 2015. City Council discussed implementation and next steps related to the 38th A venue Corridor Plan. At that time, Council reaffirmed their support for the 38th A venue Main Street vision as expressed in a series of planning documents: • 2005 Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy; • 2009 Envision Wheat Ridge; and, • 2011 38th A venue Corridor Plan. Council and staff recognized, however, that the 2014 conceptual streetscape design needed to be readdressed given that a street width designation ballot initiative was unsuccessful in November 2014. Attachment 1 3gth A venue Streetscape Update April 4, 2016 Page 2 At Lhe May 2015 study session, Council directed staff to initiate a comprehensive and inclusive public process for the purpose of seeking community consensus on a streetscape design fo r Main Street. There was acknowledgement that it may not be possible to reach a full consensus from everyone, but Council agreed there was merit in having a new public outreach process that invited the entire community to be involved in reviewing a comprehensive range of alternatives. Specifically, there was Council consensus on the following points: • There is a desire to create a downtown destination on 38th A venue, our Main Street. • A new streetscape design process should: o Focus on pedestrian accessibility; o Look at multiple options for roadway designs; o Look at right-of-way and/or easement acquisition as an option; o Look at innovative designs; o Look at consolidation of curb cuts: o Engage professional design services if necessary; o Look at sidewalk and pedestrian space and ensure that a sense of place is accomplished; and. o Look at ways to improve wayfinding and identification. At a study session on June 15. 2015, staff proposed a multi-phase, comprehensive public process, similar to what was just done for the Wadsworth Boulevard Planning and Environmental Linkage Study. It was determined that consultant services were necessary to facilitate the public process as a neutral party and to provide professionaJ urban design expertise. On August I 0, 2015. Council awarded a contract to Britina Design Group. The contract was funded through a previously appropriated Community Development budget. Cre8 Your 38 Streetscape Design Process The Cre8 Your 38 streetscape design process commenced in August 2015 when Britina Design Group was first introduced to the community at the City·s Town Hall meeting. At that time, the dates for the three public meetings in January, February and March, 2016 were first announced. This Town Hall meeting invited the entire Wheat Ridge Community to take an active role in the development of the street scape design process. After nearly a year since ballot measure 28 was not approved, the consultant team sought to reengage the community in discussing 38th Avenue during the fall and winter of 2015. In addition to collecting extensive background information, Britina engaged in extensive public promotion and one-on-one and small group stakeholder outreach. Notification of the three public meetings were promoted in a variety of ways, including fu ll color postcards mailed to every address in Wheat Ridge, notices placed on the City's website, two variable message boards placed on Wadsworth Boulevard and 381h Avenue prior to the first set of 38111 Avenue Streetscape Update April 4, 2016 Page 3 meetings, various social media sites, an article in the City. s Connections, and media advisories sent to local media. Meeting 1and1.5 Public engagement during the first set of meetings for the project exceeded all expectations with nearly I ,000 participants: • Approximately 250 people attended Meeting I on January 14, • Around 75 people attended Meeting 1.5 on January 21. and • 673 new participants engaged in an online survey after Meeting 1.5. During the January meetings, participants discussed core community values, with safety and economic success ranking the highest. After a presentation on the various streetscape elements, the participants at each table engaged in a small group interactive streetscape design process. Each table then presented their designs to the rest of the participants, and after all the designs were presented. real time electronic polling was used to provide feedback on the design concepts. Online participants voted on the same design concepts after reading through a short version of what was presented at the meetings. Tbe first step of any design process is to engage in visioning, and the purpose of the Cre8 Your 38 process was specifically to put all options on the table. For this reason, meeting participants were given very few parameters or restrictions in developing their table's roadway and streetscape design. A wide range of designs were presented; however, community voting clearly indicated a consensus or preference for a I imited range of alternatives. The results of the meetings and online survey are summarized below: • The top two core values were safety and economic success, and these were shared by in- person and online participants. • Meeting participants created a total of thirty-three (33) designs, and of these: o I or 3% was a 2-lane design, o 14 or 73% were 3-lane designs, and o 8 or 24% were 4-lane designs. • Of the 33 designs, 73% stayed within existing right-of-way. In-person and online participants were asked to answer the following question regarding all designs: "Should this design move forward in the process?'' The percentage of yes/no votes for each design were similar among in-person and online participants. The designs were ranked based on the overall support they received, and the outcomes are summarized below: • The highest ranked option received 59% support. • Twenty-one (21) of the top twenty-two (22) designs were 3-lane designs. • All 4-lane options were among the bottom eleven ( 11) designs. • The highest ranked 4-lane option received 30% support. • The 2-lane option was ranked I 0th out of thirty-three (33) designs with 44% support. 381h A venue Streetscape Update April 4, 2016 Page4 The top 6 designs, all with 3 lanes of traffic, received more than 51 % support and were advanced to meeting 2. Only 3-lane options were carried forward for the following reasons: • Because three-quarters of all designs were 3-lane designs, • Because the top two-thirds of all designs were 2 or 3-lane designs, and • Because only the 3-lane designs exceeded 50% of participant support. A 4-lane option was not carried forward for the following reasons: • Because only one-quarter of the designs were 4-lane designs, • Because none of the 4-lane designs received at least 50% participant support. and • Because the top performing 4-lane design only had 30% participant support. Meeting 2 While public input during first phase provided clear community consensus on a 3-lane roadway design. there was less consensus regarding other streetscape elements and right-of-way needs. The purpose of the February public meeting was to refine preferences for sidewalks, amenity zones, bike lanes, parking, and right-of-way. A life-size roadway model was shown on the wall with initially just the right-of-way and three lanes of traffic. Each streetscape element was discussed and again, participants at each table engaged in small group discussions focused on the tradeoffs associated with each element. Through interactive clicker voting. over I 00 participants chose the widths of each of these elements which were then added to the roadway model on the wall as the meeting progressed. This interactive exercise ranked these four elements against each other and also ranked preferences for each element. Meeting 2 provided clear consensus on the following: • Sidewalks: 66% supported 8-foot wide sidewalks (12% wanted wider) • Amenity zones: 59% supported 4-foot wide amenity zones (31 % wanted wider) • Bike lanes: 64% were not in support of bike lanes • Parking: 68% supported including on-street parking where space is available The second half of meeting 2 discussed implementation of the community's preferred design elements, as chosen above. Two options were included that involved moving the curb: complete reconstruction of the street or retrofitting in amenity zones. Even though the community preference for an 8-foot sidewalk and 4-foot amenity zone with 3 lanes of traffic fit within the existing right-of-way, the option to expand the righl-of-way in order to keep the existing curbs was included. After a brief discussion of the three options for implementing the community's preferred design, participants again used interactive clicker voting with the following results: • 71 % of participants preferred to stay within the existing right-of-way. • Of those, there was mixed and very similar support for complete reconstruction (36%) versus retrofitting amenity zones (35%). 381h A venue Streetscape Update April 4, 2016 Page 5 Meeling 3 Based on the community consensus from the previous meetings, the consultant team prepared two roadway packages to present at meeting 3 to resolve whether to reconstruct or retrofit. Both designs included three lanes of travel, sidewalks, and amenity zones and on-street parking where possible, consistent with community preferences from meetings I and 2. Package A included a complete reconstruction of the street, providing 8-foot sidewalks and 4-foot amenity zones with a potential range of cost between $7.5 million and $9.75 million. Package B would keep the existing narrower sidewalks and retrofit the existing street with wider amenity zones with a potential range of cost between $4.5 million and $6. 75 million. The purpose of meeting 3 was to fully understand "what you get and how you get there" for each package. This included a discussion of the elements, cost, process, and outcomes for each package. Since any capitaJ investment requires public support and willingness to identify a funding source for the improvements, the presentation concluded with an overview of financing tools, case studies, and revenue projections based on various levels of sales tax increase. Also discussed was the impact of driveway consolidations as this is a significant implementation issue. Without consolidation of driveways, the effectiveness of any new streetscape improvements will be reduced. After considering all implications, 65% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that driveway consolidation is important. Among the two streetscape packages, Package A received 70% support. When asked what influenced the selection of A or B, 57% of participants said the design reflected their core values with another I 6% saying they simply liked the design. Next Steps Although participation has lessened as the process continued, the most significant outcome was the early community consensus achieved around the core value of safety and three lanes of traffic that was the outcome of the first meeting and on-line voting. The subsequent meetings resulted in community consensus for wider sidewalks, amenity zones. and working within existing right-of-way. While having the preferred design is important, the main purpose of this project was the process itself: to provide an opportunity for community input to anyone wbo wanted to be involved. The involvement of over 1,000 stakeholders from the community should be considered a success. A final open house is scheduled for Wednesday. April 27 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Wheal Ridge Recreation Center to recap the process and results from each public meeting and to present the preferred srreetscape package.

This location is typical of the corridor with a 5-foot attached sidewalk adjacent to the street. This location also shows one of the wide driveways that occur in the corridor. The existing condition includes a bike lane between the curb/gutter ( c+g) and the travel lanes.

The existing sidewalk and curb/gutter would be removed; and an 8-foot sidewalk and amenity zone of at least 4 feet in width would be constructed. Because of grades, the street would also need to be removed and reconstructed . Additional right-of-way would not be required from property owners. The location of the curbs would move inward to accommodate the sidewalk and amenity zone, which requires a change in street width designation. The existing bike lanes would be removed. Also, the driveway has been narrowed to a standard width. ~ existing back of walk . t 8-foot ·sidewalk ~ 4-foot amenity zone c+g street Figure 3 -2016 Retrofit: In this scenario, the existing sidewalk and curbs as well as most of the street would remain in place. At least 7-feet of the existing street would be removed and amenity zones would be added at least 4 feet in width. Because the retrofit does not include a full reconstruction of the street, existing grades and drainage would require the amenity zones to be detached from the existing sidewalk .. Additional right-of-way would not be required from property owners. The addition of the amenity islands effectively moves the location of the curbs inward and would require a change in street width designation. Existing bike lanes would be removed.

The existing sidewalk and 9-feet of property improvements would be removed and an 8-foot sidewalk and 6-foot amenity zone would be constructed behind the existing curb. This would require right-of-way dedication of up to 9-feet behind the existing sidewalk by each property. Dedication and streetscape installation would occur incrementally and only as properties redevelop. Because of grade changes, low retaining walls may be required in some locations, as shown at the back of the 8-foot sidewalk past the driveway.
