VICINITY MAP
I. REQUEST
This application is for approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow the existing facility to be
used as a dog training facility with a kennel. The property is zoned Industrial -Employment (I -E)
which allows for a variety of light industrial and commercial uses that support employment.
Section 25-114 (Special Uses) of the Wheat Ridge City Code empowers the Director of
Community Development to decide upon applications for a special use permit if the following
conditions are met:
1. A completed application package has been submitted and fee paid;
2. The Community Development Department has notified adjacent property owners by
letter notice and the site has been posted for at least ten days;
3. No written objections have been received in such ten-day period;
4. The Community Development Director concludes that the criteria for approval, as set
forth below, are substantially complied with and support the request.
The Community Development Director can impose conditions or stipulations upon approval,
which may include physical design, operational, and maintenance considerations to ensure
compliance with the criteria for review. Staff recommends approval of the request with
conditions.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The property is located on Marshall Street between 49`h Avenue and Clear Creek. It was
subdivided in the late 1800s as part of the Berkeley Heights 2nd Filing Subdivision. The
surrounding zoning is largely Industrial -Employment (I -E), Planned Industrial Development
(PID) and Commercial -One (C-1). There are some smaller areas of Planned Commercial
Development (PCD), Commercial -Two (C-2) and Residential -Two (R-2) nearby as well. The R-
2 zone district adjacent to the property is not used residentially, but rather it is occupied by
Creekside Park, managed by the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department. The subject
property is located in close proximity to Clear Creek and is partially encumbered with 100 -year
floodplain.
According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the property includes two parcels and is 29,159
square feet (approx. 0.669 acres) in size. The property is occupied by a 7,200 square foot office
warehouse structure constructed in 1983, which was utilized for an auto repair shop until the end
of March 2016. A special use permit was approved in the early 1980's allowing heavy
automotive and body and paint work on the property. (Exhibit 1, Zoning Map; Exhibit 2, Aerial
Photo; Exhibit 3, Site Photos)
III. CASE ANALYSIS
The applicant has the property under contract, and is proposing to operate a dog training facility
with a kennel out of the existing structure on the property. The applicant will likely fence in two
separate areas for various dog training purposes, while respecting the access easement on the
north side of the property which allows access to the property to the rear as well as the Xcel
Special Use Permit 2
SUP-16-01/Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training
tower. The proposed business model for this training facility includes group classes. one-on-one
meetings, and a boarding and training program.
At this time, no redevelopment of the site is proposed, but this applicant or a future owner could
redevelop under the Industrial -Employment uses and standards. Public Works has identified this
property frontage as an opportunity to apply funds to construct public improvements, including
curb, gutter and sidewalk. Once this plan is finalized with Public Works, the final parking and
landscaping design will be reviewed. The property owner would be responsible for maintaining
any new landscaping that is installed.
The applicant intends to provide minor upgrades to exterior finishes, new signage, landscaping
and parking lot clean up. The front third of the existing structure will be used for offices,
restrooms, a break room, utility and storage rooms, as well as a mezzanine. The middle portion
of the building will be used as the main training area, which also has a full size garage door
providing access to the north side of the property. This area will be fenced in and be used for
dog training as weather permits. The rear portion of the building will be used as a kennel area
for boarding dogs and for training dogs separate from client lessons. There will be a door to the
west to a small exercise/elimination area. These improvements will be reviewed through a
Building Permit.
The property to the south is CDOT Right -of -Way and contains a portion of the Clear Creek
Trail. There will be no direct access from the north property line to the trail, and the entire
northern property line will be fenced. The trail can be accessed from the new proposed sidewalk
along Marshall Street. The applicant will also require a kennel license from the City of Wheat
Ridge Police Department. (Exhibit 4, Applicant Site Sketch and Narrative)
IV. SPECIAL USE CRITERIA
Before an administrative special use is approved, the applicant shall show and the Community
Development Director shall find that the majority of the proposed special use criteria have been
met. Staff provides the following review and analysis of the SUP criteria:
1. The special use will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare,
safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood.
The proposed use as a dog training and kennel facility will not have a detrimental effect on
the general health, welfare, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area, which includes a
planned self -storage facility to the south, and multiple contractors' offices and small retail
stores further south and on the opposite side of Marshall Street. The property directly across
Marshall is Creekside Park. The property directly to the south is CDOT Right -of -Way and
contains part of the Clear Creek Trail. There will be a fence along the property line to
separate the trail from the property. There are no residences within 500 feet of the subject
property.
Staff ff concludes that this criterion has been met.
Special Use Permit
SUP-16-01/Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training
2. The special use will create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of
physical or operational characteristics.
The special use will not create nor contribute to blight in the neighborhood. The applicant
intends to purchase the property and will provide minor improvements to the site landscaping
and existing structure. The property has been used as an auto repair facility for the past
roughly thirty years and frequently contained parked autos waiting for service, and junk on
the rear of the property. The proposed use will not generate these types of code violations
and should be an improvement for the neighborhood.
Staff' concludes that this criterion has been met.
3. The special use Nvill not create adverse impacts greater than allowed under existing
zoning for the property.
The special use will not be more impactful than other possible permitted uses under I -E
zoning, which could include car washes, construction and heavy equipment sales and service,
gas stations, pet stores or warehousing and outside storage. The proposed kennel operation
will not have the dogs outside while unsupervised, and the outdoor training area is located on
the north side of the building which does not face any adjacent private property.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
4. The special use will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or unsafe
parking, loading, service or internal traffic conflicts to the detriment of persons
whether on or off the site.
The special use will not create undue traffic impacts or unsafe conditions. As noted above,
Public Works intends to improve the Marshall Street Right -of -Way with a detached sidewalk
and amenity zone connecting the property to the Clear Creek Trail and to the property to the
north. This will result in a narrowed and better defined vehicular access point onto the
property, which is currently roughly 85 feet wide.
The proposed use will not generate traffic that exceeds the capacity of the site or Marshall
Street, which is classified as a collector. The final design of the internal site circulation,
including access to the property to the rear, will be done in conjunction with the final design
by Public Works of the Marshall Street improvements.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
5. The property is appropriately designed, including setbacks, heights, parking, bulk,
buffering, screening and landscaping, so as to be in harmony and compatible with the
character of the surrounding areas and neighborhood, especially with adjacent
properties.
The applicant is not proposing any major improvements to the property. The minor
improvements intended will be compatible with the character of the surrounding areas. The
Special Use Permit 4
SUP-16-01/Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training
orientation of the site will allow the existing building, which is at an angle away from the
street, to serve as a buffer to the property to the north and the park across Marshall Street.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
6. The special use will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks,
schools and other public facilities and services.
The special use will not overburden any existing capacities. All affected agencies have
indicated they can serve the property.
Staff concludes that thi.v criterion has been met.
7. There is a history of compliance by the applicant and/or property owner with Code
requirements and prior condition, if any, regarding the subject property.
The applicant has the property under contract, and previously or currently owns no other
property is Wheat Ridge, therefore there is no history of violations. Historically, the property
has a pattern of code violations, including junk and weeds, which should not be continued
with the proposed use and new owner.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
8. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in
the Architectural and Site Design Manual.
There are no improvements planned at this time that trigger any requirements in the
Architectural and Site Design Manual.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
Staff concludes that the criteria used to evaluate special use pen -nits support this request.
V. PUBLIC INPUT
A required neighborhood meeting for the SUP application was held on April 27, 2016. One
neighboring property owner attended and the proposed special use request was discussed. No
concerns were expressed during the meeting, and the neighboring property owner also provided a
letter of support for the approval of the SUP. (Exhibit 5, Neighborhood Meeting Notes)
VI. AGENCY REFERRAL
All affected service agencies were contacted for comment on the special use request and
regarding the ability to serve the property. Specific referral responses follow:
Wheat Ridge Economic Development: Supports the request.
Special Use Permit
SUP-16-01/Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training
West Metro Fire Protection District: No concerns at this time.

Xcel Energy: Notes that an existing transmission line is accessed via this property.
Comments received relate only to the special use request. A separate referral process would be
required in the future if the zone change is approved and a site plan is submitted.
VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that the evaluation criteria support approval of the request for the following
reasons:
1. The proposed use is consistent with land uses in the area, and the I -E zone district
regulations.
2. There is adequate access to the property.
3. Approval of the SUP will result in minor improvements on a property, and along the
Marshall Street Right -of -Way.
4. The request will not have detrimental effect upon the general public health, welfare and
safety of the surrounding area.
5. The SUP evaluation criteria have been met.
For these reasons, a recommendation of approval is given for Case No. SUP -16-01 with the
following conditions:
1. The grant of use is for the applicant, and may not be inherited.
2. The Special Use Permit shall comply with all material representations, commitments and
operations as depicted in the application materials and documents maintained in the case
file.

History
Sit Means Sit Denver has been training dogs along the Front Range for over 13 years.
In 2009 I bought the business I had been working in for 6 years. Originally, the
business model was mobile, training and visiting people at home. In 2008 we began
operating out of a veterinary hospital where we have run, incident free, since that
time. We have grown to a point where we need our own space and flexibility for
training; last year we trained over 500 dogs. We're in the business of creating
happy, obedient and reliable dogs even around severe distractions!
Property
This property has a roughly 7200 square foot steel, insulated building, and enough
outdoor property to allow for training, exercising and caring for the dogs both inside
and out of the building. The property is, and would remain, fenced, has ample
parking and a small area to allow the dogs to eliminate. There is an casement to
allow access to the neighboring property to the west, as well as allowing utility
access to the electrical tower beyond this plot.
The footprint of the building will remain the same. The exterior would be simple
cosmetic upgrades to the finishes, signage, windows, lighting and parking lot clean
up. There would also be repairs and reinforcement of fencing and gate access.
The majority of the interior, perhaps two thirds, is wide open. The front third
includes offices, restrooms, break, utility and storage rooms as well as a mezzanine
level office that overlooks with main open 'training' area in the second third of the
building.
The second third is what we would use as the main training area. In this space we
would conduct private and group lessons with enough space to work with more
than one client simultaneously. There is also a full size garage door to gain access to
the north side, outdoor, fenced area in good weather.
The rear third of the building is separated by one complete interior wall between it
and the main training area, with a full size garage door between the rooms. There's
another full size garage door granting access to the outdoor area to the north. This
space is ideal as a kennel area for the boarding dogs and for training those dogs
separate from client lessons. Additionally, there is a separate rear door on the west
wall that would allow access to the small exercise / elimination area.
Special Use Permit
SUP-16-01/Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training
The changes to the interior would include cosmetic finishes, plumbing additions and
upgrades to allow for clean up and more water access, security and lighting. There
could be additional HVAC and office expansions as needed.
Our business model offers potential clients the opportunity to visit us on site with
their dogs for a free evaluation and consultation. We offer private on site training
sessions, in-home private training sessions, and on site group class sessions. We also
offer Board and Train packages where we would keep, house on site, and train the
dogs within the facility for a recommended time (usually a week). Clients would
then follow up with private and group sessions as described.
Our staff will include limited office staff, sales trainers, boarding trainers and kennel
staff. We currently have four, full-time sales trainers but once we begin boarding
dogs, we will need additional full and part-time staff to cover the dogs being with us
seven days a week.
The free consultation is scheduled as an hour meet and greet with a sales trainer
and a potential client to establish needs and suggest the best program for success.
These consults would be conducted in small conference rooms within the building.
Private lessons would be conducted both in and out of the building depending on
weather. They are scheduled for an hour, with one trainer per family, using natural
distractions and other dogs to improve obedience and focus.
Our group classes could range in size from several to as many as twenty-five dogs.
We offer these classes a few times a week and it would likely be the only times there
would be a spike in entry, parking and exit from the property.
Currently in our boarding program, our trainers have been taking boarding dogs
home with them, even on their days off. We want to grow that program by housing
the dogs at the facility. Our most popular program is a seven-day period where we
work very hands on with the dogs to give them a 'jump start' to their training.
Boarding trainers and sales trainers would conduct training without the owners,
then follow up lessons with the owners would include private and group classes.
The kennel staff will care for the feeding, bedding, cleaning and general needs of the
dogs.
Equipment could include some agility obstacles, crates, storage, shading structures
and other items standard in dog obedience training.
Access and Hours
internally, we'll need access to the building and property 24 hours per day.
Kennel staff will normally be available to care for the dogs from roughly 7AM to
9PM every day.
Special Use Permit 12
SUP-16-01/Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training
Office staff will operate Monday through Friday from 9AM to 6PM.
Our normal client operating hours will likely be from 11AM to 8PM weekdays, and
9AM to 5 P Saturdays. Most clients will be scheduled for one-hour sessions. The
number of lessons running concurrently will be limited to the number of trainers
available at that time.

04, a request for approval of a zone change from Commercial -One (C-1) to Industrial -Employment (I-
E) for property located at 4949 Marshall Street, for the following reasons:

of a zone change from Commercial -One (C-1) to Industrial -Employment (I -E) for property located at
4949 Marshall Street for the following reasons:
1. City Council has conducted a proper public hearing meeting all public notice requirements as

VFB. Case No. WZ-16-04: an application filed by Sit Means Sit Denver Dog training,
for approval of a zone change from Commercial -One (C-1) to Industrial -
Employment (I -E) for property located at 4949 Marshall Street.
Ms. Ritchie gave a short presentation regarding the zone change 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, therefore the
Planning Commission has jurisdiction to hear this case.
Ms. Ritchie stated the Comprehensive Plan considers this property as an
employment zone which will support industrial uses. There will be no physical
redevelopment proposed at this time, only minor upgrades to the existing building.
A Special Use Permit will be required to use the property as a dog training and dog
boarding facility as the applicant intends. The zone change request responds to
redevelopment in the area. There is a 50 -foot easement on the north end of the
property to access the billboard sign and Xcel tower on the property to the west.
There will likely be public improvements done in the ROW by the City once they
are started on 4901 Marshall Street which will provide good access to Clear Creek
Trail. The development standards are relatively similar between the C-1 and I -E
zonings. There were no concerns from outside referral agencies. A neighborhood
meeting was held on April 27, 2016 and there was only one attendee, the west
property owner and there were no concerns. Staff supports this request and
recommends approval.
Commissioner BODEN asked if dog training is allowed in the C-1 zone district.
Ms. Ritchie said dog boarding is not allowed in C-1 and that is part of the
application.
Commissioner BUCKNAM asked about the zoning in the neighborhood and if the
zoning across Marshall Street is still Commercial.
Ms. Ritchie explained that some of it is C-1, but it is the parking area for Creekside
Park.
Chair OHM asked about the vacation of the ROW at 4901 Marshall Street. He
wondered if the same should be done with this property and if not will there be any
issues.
Ms. Ritchie explained there should be not issues but assured Chair OHM that
Public Works is looking into it.

Mr. Dahl explained the medical marijuana will be tested for contaminants and
reviewed the process for testing as stated in Senate Bill 15-260 which is found in
the Agenda Packet.
Chair OHM questioned if the facility could be more than a lab and maybe a grow
lab.
Mr. Dahl stated if a testing facility also includes a grow, then it would be subject to
the marijuana cultivation use chart.
Chair OHM also asked who can access the facility to have marijuana tested.

Council Action Form — Zone Change for 4949 Marshall Street
July 25, 2016
Page 2
BACKGROUND:
Subject Property
The property is located on Marshall Street between 49th Avenue and Clear Creek. It was
subdivided in the late 1800s as part of the Berkeley Heights 2nd Filing Subdivision. According
to Jefferson County Assessor records, the property includes two parcels and is 29,159 square feet
(approx. 0.669 acres) in size. The property is occupied by a 7,200 -square -foot office warehouse
structure constructed in 1983, which was utilized for an auto repair shop until the end of March
2016. A special use permit was approved in the early 1980's allowing heavy automotive and
body and paint work on the property.
Surrounding Land Uses
The surrounding zoning is largely Industrial -Employment (I -E), Planned Industrial Development
(PID) and Commercial -One (C-1). There are some smaller areas of Planned Commercial
Development (PCD), Commercial -Two (C-2) and Residential -Two (R-2) nearby as well. The R-
2 zone district adjacent to the property is not used residentially, but is occupied by Creekside
Park, managed by the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department. The subject property is
located in close proximity to Clear Creek and is partially encumbered with 100 -year floodplain.
Current and Proposed Zoning
The property is currently zoned Commercial -One (C-1). The C-1 zoning allows a wide range of
commercial land uses which include office, general business, and retail sales and service
establishments.
The applicants are requesting the property be rezoned to Industrial -Employment, a zone district
intended to allow light industrial and commercial uses that support employment. The application
has been through the standard referral process with no concerns raised by any outside agencies or
City departments. A separate referral process will be required as part of any future site
redevelopment.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
For properties north of I-70, the Comprehensive Plan generally recommends employment based
uses such as those allowed under the proposed zoning.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the zone change as outlined in the motion.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill No. 11-2016, an ordinance approving a zone change
from Commercial -One (C-1) to Industrial -Employment (I -E) for property located at 4949
Marshall Street on second reading and that it take effect 15 days after final publication
for the following reasons:
1. City Council has conducted a proper public hearing meeting all public notice
requirements as required by Section 26-109 of the Code of Laws.
2. The requested rezoning has been reviewed and recommended for approval by the
Planning Commission.

Planning Commission Minutes
June 16, 2016
B. Case No. WZ-16-04: an application filed by Sit Means Sit Denver Dog training,
for approval of a zone change from Commercial -One (C-1) to Industrial -
Employment (I -E) for property located at 4949 Marshall Street.
Ms. Ritchie gave a short presentation regarding the zone change 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, therefore the
Planning Commission has jurisdiction to hear this case.
Ms. Ritchie stated the Comprehensive Plan consi this property as an
employment zone which will support industillal uses. There will be no physical
redevelopment proposed at this time, only minor upgrades to the existing building.
A Special Use Permit will be required to use the property as a dog training and dog
boarding facility as the applicant intends. The zone change request responds to
redevelopment in the area. There is a 50 -foot easement on the north end of the
property to access the billboard sign and Xcel tower on the property to the west.
There will likely be public improvements done in the ROW by the City once they
are started on 4901 Marshall Street which will provide good access to Clear Creek
Trail. The development standards are relatively similar between the C-1 and I -E
zonings. There were no concerns from outside referral agencies. A neighborhood
meeting was held on April 27. 2016 and there was only one attendee, the west
property owner and there were no concerns. Staff supports this request and
recommends approval.
Commissioner BODEN asked if dog training is allowed in the C-1 zone district.
Ms. Ritchie said dog boarding is notwed in C-1 and that is part of the
application.
Commissioner BUCKNAM asked about the zoning in the neighborhood and if the
zoning across Marshall Street is still Commercial.
Ms. Ritchie explained that some of it is C-1, but it is the parking area for Creekside
Park. t`
Chair OHM asked about the vacation of the ROW at 4901 Marshall Street. He
wondered if the same should be done with this property and if not will there be any
issues.
Ms. Ritchie explained there should be not issues but assured Chair OHM that
Public Works is looking into it.
Anthony Bracciante, Sit Means Sit Dog Training

Planning Commission Minutes
June 16, 2016
Mr. Bracciante explained the northern part of the property where the easement is
located is not allowed for any development and will be used as an access easement
only.
It was moved by Commissioner WEAVER and seconded by Commissioner
KIMSEY to recommend APPROVAL of case No. WZ-16-04, a request for
approval of a zone change from Commercial -One (C-1) to Industrial -
Employment (I -E) for property located at 4949 Marshall Street, for the
following reasons:
1. The proposed zone change will promote the public health, safety, and
welfare of the community.
2. The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and objective of
the City's Comprehensive Plan.
3. The zone change will provide additional opportunity for
redevelopment in the area.
4. The criteria used to evaluate a zone change support the request.
Motion carried 8-0.
C. Case No. ZOA-16-01: an ordinance amending sections 11-218, 11-293, 11-401,
11-404, 11-415, 26-204, 26-640 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws to adopt
regulations governing medical marijuana testing facilities.
Mr. Dahl gave a brief explanation about medical marijuana testing facilities and
this ordinance amending portions of the zoning code. This is a new form of
licensing done both locally and by the state and should be allowed as a use by
right. There are standards for these facilities that need to be regulated, and that is
why the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws needs to be amended.
Commissioner WEAVER asked for an explanation of why the testing is being
done.
Mr. Dahl explained the medical marijuana will be tested for contaminants and
reviewed the process for testing as stated in Senate Bill 15-260 which is found in
the Agenda Packet.
Chair OHM questioned if the facility could be more than a lab and maybe a grow
lab.
Mr. Dahl stated if a testing facility also includes a grow, then it would be subject to
the marijuana cultivation use chart.
Chair OHM also asked who can access the facility to have marijuana tested.

VICINITY MAP
I. REQUEST
This application is for approval of a zone change from Commercial -One to Industrial -
Employment for property located at 4949 Marshall Street.
The zone change is the first step of the process for approval for redevelopment of this site under
I -E zoning. The purpose of the request is to allow the use of the facility as a dog training and
dog boarding facility, which also requires a Special Use Permit (SUP). The processing of the
SUP would occur following approval of the zone change request.(Exhibit 1, Applicant Letter)
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY
The property is located on Marshall Street between 49`h Avenue and Clear Creek. It was
subdivided in the late 1800s as part of the Berkeley Heights 2"d Filing Subdivision. The
surrounding zoning is largely Industrial -Employment (I -E), Planned Industrial Development
(PID) and Commercial -One (C-1). There are some smaller areas of Planned Commercial
Development (PCD), Commercial -Two (C-2) and Residential -Two (R-2) nearby as well. The R-
2 zone district adjacent to the property is not used residentially, but rather it is occupied by
Creekside Park, managed by the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department. The subject
property is located in close proximity to Clear Creek and is partially encumbered with 100 -year
floodplain.
According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the property is two parcels and 29,159 square feet
(approx. 0.669 acres) in size. The property is occupied by a 7,200 square foot office warehouse
structure constructed in 1983, which was utilized for an auto repair shop until the end of March
2016. A special use permit was approved in the early 1980's allowing heavy automotive and
body and paint work on the property. (Exhibit 2, Zoning Map; Exhibit 3, Aerial Photo; Exhibit
4, Site Photos)
III. PROPOSED ZONING
The applicant has the property under contract, and is proposing to operate a dog training facility
out of the existing structure on the property. The applicant will likely fence in two separate areas
for various dog training purposes, while respecting the access easement on the north side of the
property which allows access to the property to the rear as well as the Xcel tower. The proposed
business model for this training facility includes group classes, one-on-one meetings, and a
boarding and training program.
At this time, no redevelopment of the site is proposed, but this applicant or a future owner could
redevelop under the Industrial -Employment uses and standards if the zone change is approved.
Public Works has identified this property frontage as an opportunity to apply funds to construct
public improvements, including curb, gutter and sidewalk. The property owner would be
responsible for maintaining any new landscaping that is installed.
The following table compares the existing and proposed zoning for the property:

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.
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. The development
standards in the two zone districts are similar, and the past use of the property has been more
consistent with I -E zoning through the prior approved Special Use Permit.
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
redevelopment, a site plan review application will be required. This application will include
Planning Commission
WZ-16-04/Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training
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.
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.
Envision Wheat Ridge, the City's 2009 comprehensive plan, identifies this area as an
Employment zone, which is a designation intended to support existing industrial uses and
encourage efficient redevelopment.
Goals met with the proposal include the diversification of local employment and the
maintenance of a resilient tax base.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
Planning Commission 4
WZ-16-04/Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training
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 C-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.
In 2015, the property to the immediate south was rezoned to the I -E zone district, and in
2016 a Planned Building Group was approved for its redevelopment into a self -storage
facility. This application responds to the changing character of the area.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
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.
A meeting for neighborhood input was held on April 27, 2016. One neighboring property owner
attended and the proposed zone change was discussed and use was discussed. No concerns were
expressed during the meeting. (Exhibit 5, 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: Supports the request.
West Metro Fire Protection District: No concerns at this time.
Planning Commission
WZ-16-04/Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training
Wheat Ridge Water District: No comments.
Wheat Ridge Public Works: No concerns with the zone change. Public Works may install
public improvements along the property frontage.
Wheat Ridge Sanitation District: No concerns with the zone change.
Xcel Energy: Notes that an existing transmission line is accessed via this property.
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 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. The zone change responds to redevelopment in the area.
Because the zone change evaluation criteria support the zone change request, staff recommends
approval of Case No. WZ-16-04.
VIII. SUGGESTED MOTIONS

WZ-16-04/Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training
Exhibit 1 — Applicant letter
4949 Marshall Street, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033
Histo
Sit Means Sit Denver has been training dogs along the Front Range for over 13 years.
In 2009 I bought the business I had been working in for 6 years. Originally, the
business model was mobile, training and visiting people at home. In 2008 we began
operating out of a veterinary hospital where we have run, incident free, since that
time. We have grown to a point where we need our own space and flexibility for
training; last year we trained over 500 dogs. We're in the business of creating
happy, obedient and reliable dogs even around severe distractions!
This property has a roughly 7200 square foot steel, insulated building, and enough
outdoor property to allow for training, exercising and caring for the dogs both inside
and out of the building. The property is, and would remain, fenced, has ample
parking and a small area to allow the dogs to eliminate. There is an easement to
allow access to the neighboring property to the west, as well as allowing utility
access to the electrical tower beyond this plot.
The footprint of the building will remain the same. The exterior would be simple
cosmetic upgrades to the finishes, signage, windows, lighting and parking lot clean
up. There would also be repairs and reinforcement of fencing and gate access.
The majority of the interior, perhaps two thirds, is wide open. The front third
includes offices, restrooms, break, utility and storage rooms as well as a mezzanine
level office that overlooks with main open 'training' area in the second third of the
building.
The second third is what we would use as the main training area. In this space we
would conduct private and group lessons with enough space to work with more
than one client simultaneously. There is also a full size garage door to gain access to
the north side, outdoor, fenced area in good weather.
The rear third of the building is separated by one complete interior wall between it
and the main training area, with a full size garage door between the rooms. There's
another full size garage door granting access to the outdoor area to the north. This
space is ideal as a kennel area for the boarding dogs and for training those dogs
separate from client lessons. Additionally, there is a separate rear door on the west
wall that would allow access to the small exercise / elimination area.
Planning Commission 7
WZ-16-04/Sit Means Sit Denver Dog Training
The changes to the interior would include cosmetic finishes, plumbing additions and
upgrades to allow for clean up and more water access, security and lighting. There
could be additional HVAC and office expansions as needed.
Our business model offers potential clients the opportunity to visit us on site with
their dogs for a free evaluation and consultation. We offer private on site training
sessions, in-home private training sessions, and on site group class sessions. We also
offer Board and Train packages where we would keep, house on site, and train the
dogs within the facility for a recommended time (usually a week). Clients would
then follow up with private and group sessions as described.
Our staff will include limited office staff, sales trainers, boarding trainers and kennel
staff. We currently have four, full-time sales trainers but once we begin boarding
dogs, we will need additional full and part-time staff to cover the dogs being with us
seven days a week.
The free consultation is scheduled as an hour meet and greet with a sales trainer
and a potential client to establish needs and suggest the best program for success.
These consults would be conducted in small conference rooms within the building.
Private lessons would be conducted both in and out of the building depending on
weather. They are scheduled for an hour, with one trainer per family, using natural
distractions and other dogs to improve obedience and focus.
Our group classes could range in size from several to as many as twenty-five dogs.
We offer these classes a few times a week and it would likely be the only times there
would be a spike in entry, parking and exit from the property.
Currently in our boarding program, our trainers have been taking boarding dogs
home with them, even on their days off. We want to grow that program by housing
the dogs at the facility. Our most popular program is a seven-day period where we
work very hands on with the dogs to give them a 'jump start' to their training.
Boarding trainers and sales trainers would conduct training without the owners,
then follow up lessons with the owners would include private and group classes.
The kennel staff will care for the feeding, bedding, cleaning and general needs of the
dogs.
Equipment could include some agility obstacles, crates, storage, shading structures
and other items standard in dog obedience training.
Access and Hours
Internally, we'll need access to the building and property 24 hours per day.
Kennel staff will normally be available to care for the dogs from roughly 7AM to
9PM every day.

Office staff will operate Monday through Friday from 9AM to 6PM.
Our normal client operating hours will likely be from 11AM to 8PM weekdays, and
9AM to SPM Saturdays. Most clients will be scheduled for one-hour sessions. The
number of lessons running concurrently will be limited to the number of trainers
available at that time.

Existing Site Conditions:
The property is located on Marshall Street between 49`h Avenue and Clear Creek. It was
subdivided in the late 1800s as part of the Berkeley Heights 2nd Filing Subdivision. The
surrounding zoning is largely Industrial -Employment (I -E), Planned Industrial Development
(PID) and Commercial -One (C-1). There are some smaller areas of Planned Commercial
Development (PCD), Commercial -Two (C-2) and Residential -Two (R-2) nearby as well. The R-
2 zone district adjacent to the property is not used residentially, but rather it is occupied by
Creekside Park, managed by the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department. The subject
property is located in close proximity to Clear Creek and is encumbered with 100 -year
floodplain. .
According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the property is just shy of 20,000 square feet
(approx. 0.458 acres). The property is occupied by a 7,200 square foot office warehouse structure
constructed in 1983, which was utilized for an auto repair shop until the end of March 2016. A
special use permit was approved in the early 1980's allowing heavy automotive and body and

Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to operate a dog training facility out of the existing structure on the
property. The applicant will likely fence in two separate areas for various dog training purposes,
while respecting the access easement on the north side of the property which allows access to the
property to the rear as well as the Xcel tower.
The proposed business model for this training facility includes group classes, one-on-one
meetings, and a boarding and training program.
The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
• In addition to the applicant and staff, one adjacent property owner attended, Mr. Tom Abbott.
• Staff explained the reason for the Zone Change and Special Use Permit, and the process that
could be forthcoming for both applications.
• Mr. Bracciante explained his intended business operations and how he intends to use the
property.
• Mr. Bracciante and Mr. Abbott discussed the existing easement on the property and existing
fencing. At this time, Mr. Abbott expressed no concerns about the proposal.

The Colorado Department of Transportation Region 1 has reviewed the referral for Sit_ Mead
Sit Dog TrainingFacility at 4949 Marshall Street CDOT has no objections to this proposal.
Although the site is adjacent to the Interstate, access to the site is from a local street and it should have
negligible impact to any state highways in the area. It appears that no construction will be needed on any
state or federal property. However any proposed construction, utility, survey, or landscaping
work within CDOT right-of-way will require a Special Use Permit issued by the Colorado
Department of Transportation.

Memorandum
TO: Lisa Ritchic. Planner II
FROM: Dave Brossman. Development Review Engineer
DATE: May 18, 2016
SUBJECT: WZ-16-04 & SUP -16-01/ Sit Means Sit, 4949 Marshall Street
I have completed my review for the request to rezone the property at 4949 Marshall Street
from Commercial One (C-1) to Industrial -Employment (I -E) and a Special Use Permit to
operate a dog training and kennel facility received on May 12, 2016, and 1 have the
following comments:
l . It does not appear that the current rezoning proposal entails any site changes
which could trigger traffic or drainage requirements. Therefore, Public Works has
no comments at this time pertaining to the rezone and SUP request.
2. Please note the following pertaining to Public Improvements and Amenity Zone:
a. No public improvements exist across the property frontage.
b. Since the property to the south is under development and no public
improvements are required with the current proposal, Public Works
feels it would be in the best interest of the community for the City to
construct the improvements across the frontage of the subject
property. This will provide a connection from the southerly property
to the existing improvements at the Clear Creek greenbelt trail
access.
c. Public Works is going to research the property records to see if there
is adequate Right -of -Way to construct the improvements. If it is
determined that additional ROW is needed, the owner may be asked
to dedicate a strip across the frontage to allow the City of Wheat
Ridge to construct and maintain the improvements.
d. Since the 6' wide sidewalk will be detached from the curbing with a
6' wide amenity zone in between, the property owner will be asked
to provide and maintain (irrigated) landscaping within the 6' wide
amenity zone.

Re: Case #WZ-16-04 and SUP -16-01 (4949 Marshall Street)
Dear Ms. Ritchie,
May 17, 2016
This property is within the West Metro Fire Protection District (WMFPD). Fire service will be
provided as long as provisions of the International Fire Code, 2012 edition, including
amendments, are met in development.
WMF'PD has no comments or concerns for this rezoning. The tenant improvement plans will need
to be assessed for fire protection requirements.
The change in use and occupancy will require that a fire hydrant is placed on-site at the driveway
entrance from Marshall Street. All exterior portions of a building must be within 400 feet of a
fire hydrant (2012 IFC 507.5.1). The closest existing fire hydrant at West 49th Avenue and Lamar
Street is approximately 700 feet from the front of the existing metal building via the drive path of
a fire apparatus.
Permits are required from the fire district for tenant improvements, all work on automatic fire
protection systems, all work on automatic fire detection systems, underground fire line, solar
photovoltaic systems, radio amplification, and for the storage of hazardous materials.
WMFPD reserves the right to provide additional comments/requirements at the time when plans
are submitted and reviewed per applicable codes and amendments.
If you have any questions contact me at 303-989-4307 extension 513 or e-mail:

Martin/Martin, Inc Project No.: 17456.C.01
Dear Ms. Ritchie,
On behalf of the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District (WRSD), Martin/Martin Inc., acting as the District Engineer, offers the
following in response to the referenced referral dated May 121'', 2016 concerning request for a zone change and special
use permit for a dog training and kennel facility at 4949 Marshall Street. The Wheat Ridge Sanitation District has no
objections with the proposed request conditional on the items identified herein are fully addressed. The following are
general requirements for sanitary sewer service.
The subject lot is entirely within the service and boundary area of the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District. Treatment of
sewage generated within the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District is provided by Metro Wastewater Reclamation District.
Existing District Sanitary Sewer Mainline(s)
Wheat Ridge Sanitation District has the following sanitary sewer mains adjacent to the proposed property:
• 8 -inch mainline running north to south, east of the referenced property within Marshall Street.
It appears the property may be serviced by gravity flow; however, the homeowner/developer is responsible for
determining depths of the existing sanitary sewer main to verify if gravity flow is feasible or if a private individual
sewage ejector (lift station) is required. The issuance of a sewer tap permit by the District does not in any way
guarantee that the property can be served by gravity flow.
Certified design documentation indicating the amount of flow and anticipated loadings (BOD, SS, TKN) that the training
and kennel facility will contribute to the sanitary system is required to initially evaluate if the existing sanitary sewer
system has sufficient downstream capacity and if pretreatment will be required. Depending on values of anticipated
flow, the Owner/Developer may be required to evaluate downstream sanitary mainline capacity to show the
anticipated peak flows can be accommodated by the existing main. Additionally, tap/development and service fees
may be affected by the flow characteristics.
Please note that Metro Wastewater Reclamation District's Rules and Regulations must be complied with at all times,
especially refer to Section 6 "Pretreatment/Industrial Waste Control". As has been seen with several similar facilities,
often deleterious matter is disposed of through the sanitary system. A separator (external to the building) of sufficient
size to mitigate clogging of the service and mainline may be required in addition to pre-treatment requirements.
Costs
The amount of the sanitary sewer tap fees will be based on the water meter tap size and potentially water
characteristics for the proposed development. When the certified water tap size(s) is received, a tap fee document can
be produced indicating tap fees required for connection to the sanitary sewer collection system, including any credits

that may be available. In addition, engineering review fees may be required to be deposited in advance by the
developer to the District.
All costs involved are to be deposited in advance— engineering, reviews, design, construction, observation and
inspections — are the responsibility of the Owner/Developer at the then current rate fee structure. Please be aware
that proper tap and development fees are required to be paid prior to connection to the District main. A minimum
72 -hour notice prior to construction is required following District receipt of all fees. These fee amounts can be paid
directly to the District Office prior to connection, payable to Wheat Ridge Sanitation District, which also collects Metro
Wastewater's "connection fees".

Public Service Company of Colorado's (PSCo) Right of Way & Permits Referral Desk has
determined there is a conflict with the above captioned project. Public Service Company has
existing electric transmission lines and associated land rights as shown within this property. Any
activity including grading proposed landscaping erosion control or similar activities involving
our existing right-of-way will require Public Service Company approval. Encroachments across
Public Service Company's easements must be reviewed for safety standards, operational and
maintenance clearances, liability issues, and acknowledged with a Public Service Company
License Agreement to be executed with the property owner. PSCo is requesting that, prior to
any final approval of the development plan, it is the responsibility of the property owner/
developer/contractor to contact Mike Diehl, Siting and Land Rights Manager at (303) 571-
7260 to have this project assigned to a Land Rights Agent for development plan review and
execution of a License Agreement.
Please be aware PSCo owns and operates existing natural gas and electric distribution facilities
within the subject property. The property owner/developer/contractor must contact the Builder's
Call Line at 1-800-628-2121 or https://xcelenergy.force.com/FastApp (Register so you can
track your application) and complete the application process for any new gas or electric
service, or modification to existing facilities. It is then the responsibility of the developer to
contact the Designer assigned to the project for approval of design details. Additional
easements may need to be acquired by separate document for new facilities.
As a safety precaution, PSCo would like to remind the developer to call the Utility Notification
Center, at 1-800-922-1987 to have all utilities located prior to any construction.

Commercial -One (C-1)
Employment
Existing Site Conditions:
The property is located on Marshall Street between 491h Avenue and Clear Creek. It was subdivided in
the late 1800s as part of the Berkeley Heights 2nd Filing Subdivision. The surrounding zoning is largely
Industrial -Employment (I -E), Planned Industrial Development (PID) and Commercial -One (C-1). There
are some smaller areas of Planned Commercial Development (PCD), Commercial -Two (C-2) and
Residential -Two (R-2) nearby as well. The R-2 zone district adjacent to the property is not used
residentially, but rather it is occupied by Creekside Park, managed by the Wheat Ridge Parks and
Recreation Department. The subject property is located in close proximity to Clear Creek and is
encumbered with 100 -year floodplain. .
According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the property is just shy of 20,000 square feet (approx.
0.458 acres). The property is occupied by a 7,200 square foot office warehouse structure constructed in
1983, which was utilized for an auto repair shop until the end of March 2016. A special use permit was
approved in the early 1980's allowing heavy automotive and body and paint work on the property
Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to operate a dog training facility out of the existing structure on the property.
The applicant will likely fence in two separate areas for various dog training purposes, while respecting
the access easement on the north side of the property which allows access to the property to the rear as
www.ci.wheatridge.co.us
well as the Xcel tower.
The proposed business model for this training facility includes group classes, one-on-one meetings, and
a boarding and training program.
The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
• In addition to the applicant and staff, one adjacent property owner attended, Mr. Tom Abbott.
• Staff explained the reason for the Zone Change and Special Use Permit, and the process that could
be forthcoming for both applications.
• Mr. Bracciante explained his intended business operations and how he intends to use the property.
• Mr. Bracciante and Mr. Abbott discussed the existing easement on the property and existing fencing.
At this time, Mr. Abbott expressed no concerns about the proposal.

RE: 4949 Marshall St.
Application for Special Use Permit & Zone Change
Sit Means Sit Dog Training and Kennel
From our experience with previous uses of the property known as 4949 Marshall St; we would like to
provide the following concerns related to the proposed change in use of the 4949 Marshall St. property:
We own a deeded Easement for Ingress and Egress, along the northern 50 ft. of the 4949
Marshall St. property. We would like acknowledgement of this easement, and specifics as to
agreed upon day-to-day uses and/or impacts allowed and or disallowed upon this easement, to
be described in the special use permit.
The actual eastern property line between our property and 4949 Marshall St. has been difficult
to visually determine in the past. However; in 2015 we had a professional survey of the line
made, and the actual line is now identified and staked. We would like acknowledgement of this
less -than -obvious common property line described in the special use permit.
We are expecting to attend the neighborhood meeting on April 27.

Will a neighborhood meeting need to be held prior to application submittal?
Yes, a neighborhood meeting will be required for both the zone change and the special use permit.
Planning comments:
The following items were discussed based on the applicant's proposal:
Zoning & Use
The property is currently zoned Commercial -One (C-1), which provides for areas with a wide range of
commercial land uses which include office, general business, and retail sales and service
establishments. Under the C-1 zone district only animal veterinary hospitals and clinics with no
outside pens or runs for dogs are permitted. The proposed use of the property is more in line with the
permitted uses in the Industrial -Employment (I -E) zone district, which allows for animal veterinary
hospitals and clinics with outside runs, in addition to kennels as a special use permit.

Not Permitted

Utility Providers
The City of Wheat Ridge is not a full-service city. The utility and service providers for this property
include:
• West Metro Fire District, phone: 303-989-4307
• Wheat Ridge Water District, phone: 303-424-2844
• Wheat Ridge Sanitation District, phone:
All land use applications will be sent out on referral to these agencies for comment; however, staff
encourages potential applicants to contact service districts ahead of time. This may help to understand
any design or infrastructure requirements and potential costs associated with the proposed project.
Building Division comments:
Please be advised that planning notes and processes are only one aspect of the process. New
construction and/or alterations to existing structures will require building permits, and perhaps the
issuance of new Certificate of Occupancy depending on the use or reuse of the structure/s.
Public Works comments:
Public Works does not typically require public improvements for a project such as this. However, due
to pending development to the south at 4901 Marshall, the Public Works department finds it
appropriate to continue the future public improvements along Marshall Street to the south to extend
the length of the 4949 Marshall Street property, and connect to the Clear Creek Trail trailhead. The
Public Works Department is not requiring the applicant to construct any of the public improvements,
but rather will be using its own funds to complete a curb, gutter and sidewalk along Marshall Street.
There may also be a landscaped area created on the front (east side) of the 4949 Marshall Street
property during the construction of the public improvements. The owner of 4949 Marshall Street will
be responsible for maintaining this landscaped area.
More information on these public improvements will come as the project moves forward.
Review Process
This request will require a zone change and a special use permit.
ZONE CHANGE
Neighborhood Meeting
The first step in the rezoning process is the pre -application meeting, which took place on April 14,
2016. The next step is to conduct a neighborhood meeting. The applicant is responsible for drafting a
letter that will be delivered (via mail or hand delivery) to all property owners and current residents in a
600 -foot radius of the subject property. The letter must be approved by the Community Development
department PRIOR to sending. The Community Development department can provide the applicant
with a neighborhood meeting letter template and samples, if necessary. Additionally, the Community
Development department will pull the property and resident information from the County records and
provide the applicant with mailing labels. The applicant will coordinate with the Community
Development department on the time and location of the neighborhood meeting. The meeting may be
held in the Wheat Ridge Municipal Building Conference Room, or any other location the applicant
desires. There is a $100 fee for the meeting, and an additional 50 -cent fee for each page of mailing
labels provided to the applicant (average is about $243).
Staff will be present at the meeting to facilitate the discussion and answer any zoning, land use, and
process related questions. However, the applicant will lead the meeting and inform the audience about
the proposal.
Rezoning Application
Once the neighborhood meeting is complete, a formal complete application may be submitted by
appointment with a planner. The complete application will be assigned a case number and case
manager. The case manager will be the applicant's point of contact at the City for the duration of the
zone change process. The case manager will review the application, and once all submittal
requirements are met, the application will be sent out on referral to outside service agencies (Xcel
Energy, water district, fire district, etc.) and other City agencies (Public Works, Economic
Development, etc.) for review. The referral period is 15 days, during which time the referral agencies
4
and departments may submit comments on the application. These comments, as well as those from the
case manager, will be forwarded to the applicant. Modifications to the planned development document
may be requires as a result of these comments.
After all comments have been addressed, a public hearing before Planning Commission will be
scheduled. A public hearing before Planning Commission will require the property to be posted. The
posting period lasts 15 days and requires a sign be posted on the property. Additionally, the
Community Development department will send out written notification of the hearing to all property
owners within a 300 -foot radius of the subject property. During the public hearing at Planning
Commission, the case manager will present the rezoning case to Planning Commission, and based on
an established set of criteria present evidence to support a recommendation of approval, approval with
conditions, or denial of the rezoning. The applicant and the public will have the opportunity to present
evidence and provide testimony in support or opposition of the rezoning application. The Planning
Commission will then recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the rezoning. This
recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for review and decision.
Regardless of Planning Commission's recommendation, the rezoning will automatically be scheduled
for a public hearing before City Council. The City Council hearing will require an additional posting
period. This posting period lasts 15 consecutive days and will require a sign to be posted on the
property. The Community Development Department will also mail out notification of the hearing to
all property owners within 300 -feet of the subject site. At the public hearing before City Council, the
case manager will present the case, and based on an established set of criteria present evidence to
support a recommendation of approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the zone change
application.. The applicant, and the public, will be allowed to present evidence and provide testimony
in support of opposition of the zone change. The City Council will then make a decision of approval,
approval with conditions, or denial based on the testimonies provided by staff, the applicant, and the
public.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT
Neighborhood Meeting
The first step in the Special Use Permit (SUP) process is the pre -application meeting, which took place
on April 14, 2016. The next step is to conduct a neighborhood meeting. The applicant is responsible
for drafting a letter that will be delivered (via mail or hand delivery) to all property owners and current
residents in a 600 -foot radius of the subject property. The letter must be approved by the Community
Development department PRIOR to sending. The Community Development department can provide
the applicant with a neighborhood meeting letter template and samples, if necessary. Additionally, the
Community Development department will pull the property and resident information from the County
records and provide the applicant with mailing labels. The applicant will coordinate with the
Community Development department on the time and location of the neighborhood meeting. The
meeting may be held in the Wheat Ridge Municipal Building Conference Room, or any other location
the applicant desires. There is a $100 fee for the meeting, and an additional 50 -cent fee for each page
of mailing labels provided to the applicant (average is about $243).
Staff will be present at the meeting to facilitate the discussion and answer any zoning, land use, and
process related questions. However, the applicant will lead the meeting and inform the audience about
the proposal.
Application
Once the neighborhood meeting is complete, a formal application may be submitted. The SUP
application will be assigned a case number and case manager. The case manager will be the
applicant's point of contact at the City for the duration of the case processing. The case manager will
review your case, and sent it out on referral to City and outside agencies for review. The referral
period is 15 days, during which time all departments and agencies may submit comments on the
application. These comments, as well as those from the case manager, may require modifications to
the application.
Once review of the application is complete, the property must be posted. This posting lasts 10
consecutive days and requires a sign to be posted on the property. Additionally, the Community
Development department will send out written notification of the SUP request to all adjacent property
owners . If no legitimate complaints are received during this posting period, the Special Use Permit
application may be reviewed and decided upon administratively. If a legitimate complaint is received
by the Community Development Department during this posting period, the Special Use Permit will
be automatically forwarded to the City Council for a public hearing and decision.
If the application is reviewed administratively and denied, the applicant can appeal the decision to the
City Council.
If the case is forwarded to City Council due to receipt of legitimate objections, or due to appeal by the
applicant, the property must be posted again. This posting period lasts 15 consecutive days and will
require a sign to be posted on the property. The Community Development Department will also mail
out notification of the hearing to all property owners within 300 -feet of the subject site. At the public
hearing before City Council, the case manager will present the case, and based on an established set of
criteria present evident to recommend the approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the Special
Use Permit. The applicant, and the public, will be allowed to present evidence and provide testimony
in support of opposition of the Special Use Permit. The City Council will then make a decision of
approval, approval with conditions, or denial based on the testimonies provided by staff, the applicant,
and the public.

staff does not obligate any decision-making body (Community Development Director, Public
Works Director, Planning Commission and/or City Council) to a desired outcome. Staff will

Pre -Application Submittal for Rezoning of property located at:
4949 Marshall Street, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033
History
Sit Means Sit Denver has been training dogs along the Front Range for over 13 years.
In 2009 I bought the business I had been working in for 6 years. Originally, the
business model was mobile, training and visiting people at home. In 2008 we began
operating out of a veterinary hospital where we have run, incident free, since that
time. We have grown to a point where we need our own space and flexibility for
training; last year we trained over 500 dogs. We're in the business of creating
happy, obedient and reliable dogs even around severe distractions!
Property
This property has a roughly 7200 square foot steel, insulated building, and enough
outdoor property to allow for training, exercising and caring for the dogs both inside
and out of the building. The property is, and would remain, fenced, has ample
parking and a small area to allow the dogs to eliminate. There is an easement to
allow access to the neighboring property to the west, as well as allowing utility
access to the electrical tower beyond this plot.
Building
The footprint of the building will remain the same. The exterior would be simple
cosmetic upgrades to the finishes, signage, windows, lighting and parking lot clean
up. There would also be repairs and reinforcement of fencing and gate access.
The majority of the interior, perhaps two thirds, is wide open. The front third
includes offices, restrooms, break, utility and storage rooms as well as a mezzanine
level office that overlooks with main open 'training' area in the second third of the
building.
The second third is what we would use as the main training area. In this space we
would conduct private and group lessons with enough space to work with more
than one client simultaneously. There is also a full size garage door to gain access to
the north side, outdoor, fenced area in good weather.
The rear third of the building is separated by one complete interior wall between it
and the main training area, with a full size garage door between the rooms. There's
another full size garage door granting access to the outdoor area to the north. This
space is ideal as a kennel area for the boarding dogs and for training those dogs
separate from client lessons. Additionally, there is a separate rear door on the west
wall that would allow access to the small exercise / elimination area.
The changes to the interior would include cosmetic finishes, plumbing additions and
upgrades to allow for clean up and more water access, security and lighting. There
could be additional HVAC and office expansions as needed.
Our business model offers potential clients the opportunity to visit us on site with
their dogs for a free evaluation and consultation. We offer private on site training
sessions, in-home private training sessions, and on site group class sessions. We also
offer Board and Train packages where we would keep, house on site, and train the
dogs within the facility for a recommended time (usually a week). Clients would
then follow up with private and group sessions as described.
Our staff will include limited office staff, sales trainers, boarding trainers and kennel
staff. We currently have four, full-time sales trainers but once we begin boarding
dogs, we will need additional full and part-time staff to cover the dogs being with us
seven days a week.
The free consultation is scheduled as an hour meet and greet with a sales trainer
and a potential client to establish needs and suggest the best program for success.
These consults would be conducted in small conference rooms within the building.
Private lessons would be conducted both in and out of the building depending on
weather. They are scheduled for an hour, with one trainer per family, using natural
distractions and other dogs to improve obedience and focus.
Our group classes could range in size from several to as many as twenty-five dogs.
We offer these classes a few times a week and it would likely be the only times there
would be a spike in entry, parking and exit from the property.
Currently in our boarding program, our trainers have been taking boarding dogs
home with them, even on their days off. We want to grow that program by housing
the dogs at the facility. Our most popular program is a seven-day period where we
work very hands on with the dogs to give them a 'jump start' to their training.
Boarding trainers and sales trainers would conduct training without the owners,
then follow up lessons with the owners would include private and group classes.
The kennel staff will care for the feeding, bedding, cleaning and general needs of the
dogs.
Equipment could include some agility obstacles, crates, storage, shading structures
and other items standard in dog obedience training.
Internally, we'll need access to the building and property 24 hours per day.
Kennel staff will normally be available to care for the dogs from roughly 7AM to
9PM every day.
Office staff will operate Monday through Friday from 9AM to 6PM.
Our normal client operating hours will likely be from 11AM to 8PM weekdays, and
9AM to SPM Saturdays. Most clients will be scheduled for one-hour sessions. The
number of lessons running concurrently will be limited to the number of trainers
available at that time.
