6. PUBLIC FORUM (This is the time for any person to speak on any subject not appearing
on the agenda.)
Benny Gonzales
3145 Eaton Street, Wheat Ridge
Mr. Gonzales said he, family and neighbors feel the 12 1/2 foot bulk plane is a good fit for
the R -1C neighborhood.
Michael Epson
2905 Chase Street, Wheat Ridge
Mr. Epson stated he and others in the neighborhood feel the 35 foot height limit does not
fit the character of the neighborhood because the majority of homes are one story
bungalows. He stated the decks of the large homes look directly in the other backyards
and there is a loss of privacy which could limit property values. Mr. Epson handed out
graphics and petition which was circulated through the neighborhood and signed by
neighbors who support a 12 1/2 bulk plane and a height limit of 25 -feet for the R -1C zone
district. He added that those development standards would be more in line with the
character of the neighborhood.
Victoria Mendoza
3021 Chase Street, Wheat Ridge
Ms. Mendoza stated she is happy to be in this neighborhood and added she also does not
think the 35 -foot height limit fits the neighborhood and to please consider a 12 1/2 foot
bulk plane. She feels the character of the neighborhood will be changed if the height
limit stays at 35 -feet.
PUBLIC HEARING
A. Case No. ZOA-16-05: An ordinance amending Section 26-711 of the Wheat
Ridge Code of Laws, concerning billboards, to establish a billboard vacancy
process.
Ms. Ritchie gave a short presentation regarding the ordinance amendment. 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.
She stated that City Council wants to codify an existing administrative policy
regarding billboard regulations. Council was asked if there are any other standards
if they want to look at, but codifying the policy is the only action they wish to take
right now.
Planning Commission Minutes -2—

September 15, 2016
Commissioner BODEN asked when the permit application is approved does the
contract between the property owner and the billboard company follow the land
and is the City involved. He also inquired if the City issues a permit each time the
billboard content is changed.
Ms. Ritchie explained that the City is not a party to those types of agreements. The
intent of the policy is to protect the billboard owner and the landowner. The City
also does not review the content of the billboard.
Commissioner TIMMS asked if the policy of this ordinance to keep the billboard in
the city only along I-70.
Ms. Ritchie explained the intent of the policy is to keep the billboard count at 16
and only along I-70. There are two non -conforming signs along Ward Road that
are not oriented toward I-70.
Commissioner OHM asked why a building permit and a letter to the Community
Development Director are necessary to modify or take down and replace a
billboard.
Ms. Mikulak explained that the notification and demolition permit is a safety net
that will protect anyone modifying the billboard and will also make sure the
billboard location will not be lost if it is temporarily taken down.
Commissioner DORSEY asked if a non -conforming billboard is vacated and torn
down on Ward Road would another one be built on I-70.
Ms. Ritchie explained we would still only have 16 billboards in the city per the
code.
It was moved by Commissioner TIMMS and seconded by Commissioner LEO
to recommend APPROVAL of the proposed ordinance amending Section
260711 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, concerning billboards, to establish a
billboard vacancy process.
Motion carried 8-0.
B. Case No. ZOA-16-04: An ordinance repealing and reenacting Section 26-615 of
the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning Commercial Mobile Radio Service and
making conforming amendments in connection herewith.
Ms. Ritchie gave a short presentation regarding the ordinance amendment. 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.

September 15, 2016
There are new FCC regulations for local government that within 60 days all
applications for a facility that is not substantially changing be reviewed and
approved. Also staff recommends the establishment of the following additional
development standards relate to all facilities: Colocation, Federal Requirements,
Safety Standards and Residential Uses.
Commissioner BODEN asked about subsection D-4 and abandonment of CMRS
facility and the guidelines.
Ms. Ritchie said there are guidelines for abandonment, but this particular section
about the City being reimbursed is new and was written by the City Attorney and is
consistent with similar provisions elsewhere in the code.
Commissioner BUCKNAM asked about subsection 8c and why it is possible to put
a CMRS facility on a multi -family building as opposed to having a free standing
facility and is more of an aesthetic choice.
Ms. Ritchie stated the wall mounted antennas are less impactful. Ms. Mikulak
added the city has a limited amount of multi-level structures and the wall mounted
facilities tend to stand out less than free standing structures and there is more
opportunity for colocation.
Commissioner BUCKNAM also asked if the change in height from 7 to 12 feet is
due to a change in technology requirement.
Ms. Ritchie stated it is not uncommon to have taller antennae because it could
reduce the amount of facilities in the city.
It was moved by Commissioner KIMSEY and seconded by Commissioner
DORSEY to recommend APPROVAL of the proposed ordinance repealing
and reenacting section 26-615 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning
commercial mobile radio service and making conforming amendments in
connection herewith.
Motion carried 8-0.
8. OTHER ITEMS
A. Discussion: Residential Development Standards and Bulk Plane
Mr. Wallace stated that the Community Development Department started research
on Residential development standards during the summer of 2016. During study
session with both Planning Commission and City Council in July Staff was
directed to keep moving forward with the bulk plane research. On August 22,
City Council adopted an emergency ordinance which implemented a 45 degree
Planning Commission Minutes -4—
September
4—
September 15, 2016
bulk plane requirement measured at 15 feet above the property line in the R -1C
zone district. This emergency ordinance is effective for 90 days.
Mr. Wallace gave a brief description regarding terminology of bulk plane
definitions. The bulk plane restricts the building envelope as a structure gets
taller. Mr. Wallace explained that neighboring jurisdictions have bulk planes
ranging from 10 to 17 feet. Staff does not recommend the 10 or 12 foot bulk
plane because they are too restrictive and do not support the City's goal of
reinvestment because they severely restrict a property's potential building area
The 17 foot bulk plane is also not recommended by staff because it is too
permissive and allows development at a mass and scale that is inconsistent with
existing neighborhoods. Staff recommends a 15 foot bulk plane requirement
because the height provides a reasonable building envelope in which property
owners may reinvest in the property, while also reducing the likelihood of the
three-story construction. With this, Mr. Wallace asked if there is support for a 15
foot bulk plane from the commission.
Commissioner BUCKNAM sees the rationale for a 15 foot bulk plane and thinks
it fits with the Envision Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan, but with the small lots
on the east side of town a 15 foot bulk plane does not address the Envision Wheat
Ridge character aspect. He would like to encourage staff and City Council to
consider taking in to account geographic boundaries or modification to the 15 foot
bulk plane and with the smaller lots a lower bulk plane.
Commissioner DORSEY would like to see the difference split between the 10 and
15 foot bulk plane and have a 13 foot bulk plane and he wondered how staff came
up with the 15 foot bulk plane. He worries about the people's privacy on the east
side of town with the structures being so tall and the 3`d story patios.
Mr. Wallace explained that Staff analyzed bulk plane starting between 10 and 17
feet above a property line as those were the most common found throughout the
Denver Metro Area. The analysis indicated to Staff that the 15 foot bulk plane
was the most appropriate to recommend.
Ms. Mikulak added that staff is trying to balance competing goals. Bulk plane
can be a one size fits all because it doesn't depend on how wide the lot is, but as
the structure gets taller than the further from the property line it gets regardless of
the size of the lot.
Commissioner KIMSEY said she has reservations to the bulk plane because of the
height. She would like to see a graphic of what a 35 foot building looks with a 12
and 15 foot bulk plane.
Ms. Mikulak explained that on a 50 foot wide lot a building that is three stories
tall which would be allowed under the 35 foot height limit would be 16 feet wide.
The bulk plane would apply on all four sides of the property.
Planning Commission Minutes - 5—
September 15, 2016
Commissioner KIMSEY would like to see staff address window placement for
privacy issues.
Commissioner TIMMS said he was not present for the previous study session and
he recognizes staffs balance and thinks we should be sensitive to the existing
homes, but also what the market is looking at. Commissioner TIMMS asked if
staff has spoken with any builders regarding bulk plane.
Mr. Wallace stated that Staff has not formally asked for input from builders, but
that a few builders who have been in the City Offices have inquired about a bulk
plane requirement and have even asked why the City of Wheat Ridge does not
already have a bulk plane requirement. Many of them build in other cities around
the Denver Metro area and are familiar with bulk plane and needing to conform to
those requirements and would have no problem conforming to the bulk plane
standards.
Commissioner TIMMS feels the bulk plane is not the appropriate tool for the
concerns being raised. If the main issue is the height and 3 -story homes, maybe
the maximum height should be looked at instead. He also stated that residential
design standards don't want to be looked at by City Council because of the
diversity of housing stock that exists. He asked if this still the vision to have the
diversity. k
Mr. Wallace said there was no consensus moving forward on residential design
standards when brought up to City Council in July.
Commissioner TIMMS added he would not support a bulk plane and thinks the
issue at hand is the maximum height and that is what should be discussed.
Commissioner LEO feels an average bulk plane should be looked at depending on
the area a structure is being built.
Commissioner WEAVER also feels the average should be taken into
consideration depending on the area and/or lot size. She also state that if we don't
want certain height in particular areas of the city then that should be looked at.
Mr. Wallace explained that City Council would like us to look at bulk plane first
and then do some analysis on height limits.
Commissioner OHM stated he can see the intent of not having a 3 -story building
next to a single story, but would like to continue with the diversity of having
different size heights. He has concerns with the bulk plane and how it will affect
the architecture of the building. Commissioner OHM would also like to see
dimension in the graphics to see if a structure would have 8 or 10 foot ceilings
depending on the bulk plane. He also thinks maybe average should be looked at.
Planning Commission Minutes -6—
September
6—
September 15, 2016
Ms. Mikulak stated she is not hearing a consensus on what the vertical height of
the bulk plane should be and there is minimal data on the heights of structures to
get an average in a specific area the City and staff would have to figure a way to
implement that.
Commissioner BUCKNAM feels an average of an area can help define the
character of the neighborhood and maintain it.
Ms. Mikulak stated that staff has been given direction and is trying to balance
very conflicting goals. To find an average of a neighborhood that is primarily one
story homes will result in only one-story homes being able to be built. The intent
of the bulk plane is to scale back new construction in order to not have tall
buildings towering over smaller buildings. We trying to respect the character of a
neighborhood, but not necessarily preserve it. This is a challenging topic and we
also have to think about the market.
Mr. Wallace moved forward with the presentation and explained that staff
recommends a bulk plane being applied universally across all residential zone
districts. This would provide a level of assurance that new construction would
need to be scaled back and follow the bulk plane, regardless of residential zone
district or lot size. With this, Mr. Wallace asked if there is support for a universal
application of a bulk plane standard.
Commissioner BUCKNAM stated that in theory it makes sense but wants to take
into account the neighborhood and the distinct characteristics that need to be
addressed.
Commissioner KIMSEY agreed with Commissioner BUCKNAM'S statement and
added that there needs to be a way to preserve the existing nature of a
neighborhood and that 35 feet is too tall.
Commissioner TIMMS does not think a bulk plane should be applied across all
residential zone districts. He also asked if it will apply to agricultural and mixed
use zoning.
Mr. Wallace said that staff would like feedback on the agricultural zoning for bulk
plane because single family uses are permitted. He added that mixed use zoning
already has additional setback standards built into the code for instances when
mixed use zoning abuts residential and agricultural uses.
Commissioner TIMMS doesn't feel bulk plane should apply to agricultural or R-3
zone districts, it's not one size fits all. He would also like to see what our
neighboring border cities are doing.
Commissioner LEO does not feel the bulk plane should be applied universally,
but need to figure a way to figure this out.
Planning Commission Minutes -7—
September
7—
September 15, 2016
Commissioner WEAVER feels that if a bulk plane is applied universally it will be
too restrictive and would anger people on the west side of the city.
Ms. Mikulak says she is hears from the Commission is to try and identify some
geographic area that would require public involvement to possible figure out the
bulk plane or maximum height limits.
Chair OHM stated he does not want to see a bulk plane universally applied to all
residential zone districts either.
Ms. Mikulak and Mr. Wallace reminded the Commission that when considering
which zone districts the bulk plane should apply it is important to note that in the
area of largest concern at the moment, East Wheat Ridge, there are many R-3 lots
on which single-family homes are permitted to be built. Currently, the emergency
bulk plane ordinance only applies to R -1C, and as such structures on R-3 lots can
utilize the full 35 foot height maximum. With that, Ms. Mikulak then wanted to
know if bulk plane were not applied universally is there a consensus on where it
should be applied. 0
Chair OHM would be in support of bulk plane in the R-1 zone district, but would
like to see a good neighbor approach also.
Commissioner BUCKNAM stated the R- 1C is mostly in the east end of Wheat
Ridge and keeping neighborhood character is important and City Council should
take a good look at this.
Commissioner TIMMS stated that if staff is under pressure then the bulk plane
should be kept with the R- 1C zone district and examine the details at a later date.
Commissioner WEAVER doesn't want to rush into a bulk plane standard.
Ms. Mikulak reminded the Commission that emergency ordinances are only in
effect for 90 -days, so we are now up against a limited time frame in order to
establish a new ordinance. Ms. Mikulak then stated that she is hearing that the
emergency bulk plane ordinance in the R- 1C zoning be extended as a permanent
ordinance for the time being while a more comprehensive analysis is conducted
that includes a large public involvement process, a discussion around appropriate
heights, and the identification of geographic areas for applying new standards.
Chair OHM would also like to hear from the builders in the community.
Ms. Mikulak added that housing stock has stagnated and we don't want the
zoning code to be the reason for this so we have to figure out how to maintain a
balance.
Planning Commission Minutes -8—
September
8—
September 15, 2016
Mr. Wallace moved forward with the presentation, and introduced the current step
back requirements that apply to duplexes and multi -family buildings. Staff would
consider getting rid of these step back requirements, because they would be
duplicated by the bulk plane requirement if applied to all residential zone districts.
Mr. Wallace stated that he recognized the Commission had not reached a
consensus on bulk plane height or the applicability of bulk plane standards, but
still wanted to gather any input the Commission had on this topic.
Commissioner BUCKNAM stated we have only seen step backs applied in mixed
use and not in residential area.
Chair OHM feel the bulk plane would limit more that step backs.
Ms. Mikulak reiterated the timeline of the City Council Study session being
October 3 and Planning Commission public hearing occurring on October 20. Ms.
Mikulak also reminded the Commission that they make recommendations to City
Council, who in turn provides direction to Staff. Staff will present City Council
with similar information, and discuss the Commissions discussion on the bulk
plane topic during the October 3 City Council Study Session. Council will
provide Staff with direction, which will then come to Planning Commission in
ordinance form at a public hearing. .

All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this
case.
I. REQUEST
This application is for approval of a zone change from Residential -One (R-1) to Planned Mixed Use
Development (PMUD) and an Outline Development Plan (ODP) for property located at 10001 W. 32°d
Avenue.
The City's planned development approval is a two-step process. The first step is for the zone change
to PMUD and approval of an Outline Development (ODP). The ODP document will set allowed uses
and development standards for the property. The ODP also contains a general concept plan which
labels areas of landscaping, parking, building footprints and access points. The ODP approval requires
a public hearing in front of each Planning Commission and City Council. City Council is always the
final authority for approval of zone changes so Planning Commission will be making a
recommendation.
The Specific Development Plan (SDP) and plat, if necessary, is the second step of the process which
focuses on the details of the development such as final drainage, street improvements, architecture and
final lot layout, including building footprints, site circulation, parking and landscaping. .
The applicant is requesting approval of the zone change to expand uses and create redevelopment
opportunities for the property. (Exhibit 1, Letter of Request)
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY
Existing Site Conditions:
The property is located at the northwest corner of West 32°d Avenue and Kipling Street and is
comprised of four parcels. The property is currently zoned Residential -One (R-1). The R-1 zone
district allows single family residential construction, public and semi-public uses and group living
situations as special uses. Under previous special use approvals, the property had been utilized as a
group home for children (an adolescent psychiatric treatment facility) for the last 30 years. The facility
was closed in 2013. (Exhibit 2, aerial photo)
To the south across 32°d Avenue are single-family homes zoned R-1 as part of the Paramount Heights
Subdivision. To the east across Kipling Street are single-family homes zoned R-1 and part of the
Wheat Ridge Knolls Subdivision. To the southeast is the Crown Hill open space located in
unincorporated Jefferson County.
Immediately adjacent to the property on the north and west is vacant land zoned R-1. This property
"wraps" around the subject site and has street frontage on both 32°d Avenue and Kipling. Adjacent to
the vacant land running northeast is the Rocky Mountain ditch. The ditch runs to the east under
Kipling and drains into a detention pond located on vacant land on the east side of Kipling. A grade
change of roughly 20' separates the subject property from the residential neighborhood to the north
and northwest. (Exhibit 3, zoning map)
Planning Commission
WZ-16-O1/AMOF
There are four parcels that make up the property and are summarized in the table and map below. The
square footages in the table were taken from the Jefferson County Assessor's website. The applicant
indicates that the actual combined lot square footage is less than indicated by Jefferson County.

The four parcels total 94,295 square feet (2.16 acres). The parcels are all irregular in shape and there is
a 40' grade change running from the southeast corner of the site to the northwest corner.
There are also a variety of structures on the property which are in a campus -style setting. According to
the Jefferson County Assessor the buildings on the site were constructed at various times between
1935 and 1982.
The locations of the buildings are best viewed on Sheet 3 of the ODP document. (Exhibit 4, ODP
document) The existing structures include a home containing sleeping quarters, commercial kitchen
and communal dining area, common space and offices (Building 3). Other structures on the property
include a dormitory (Building 4), another single family residence (Building 1), a building set up as
classroom area originally used as a barn (building 6), a small office/storage building (building 5) and a
shed (building 2). (Exhibit 5, site photos)
The zone change proposal has been prompted by the desire for an event center in the main structure
and grounds with the various other buildings used for ancillary purposes. However, it is possible that
Planning Commission
WZ-16-O1/AMOF
in the future, existing structures may be razed and redevelopment may occur. The ODP document is
intended to address both scenarios.
The Planned Mixed Use Development zone district is intended to allow the integration of residential
and commercial uses and development which is consistent with the surrounding neighborhoods and
the City's guiding documents. It is intended to create a zone district which will allow flexibility in
use, design, and orientation while maximizing space, community interest and protecting nearby and
adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Permitted uses in the PMUD zone are intended to be a mixture of residential and commercial uses.
Staff concludes that the PMUD is best suited for the property to allow a residential component and a
limited range of less impactive commercial uses.
II. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Attached is a copy of the proposed Outline Development Plan which contains three sheets. The ODP
will establish allowed uses and development standards for the property. The ODP also contains a
general plan layout for the existing configuration of the property.
The ODP document envisions two development scenarios — one where the existing buildings are left in
place and adapted for a new use and one that anticipates redevelopment with the existing buildings
being demolished and new ones built. In either scenario, a subsequent Planning Commission review of
a Specific Development Plan (SDP) will be required.
Sheet 1 of the ODP serves as the declaration page. It includes the legal description and signature
blocks and gives general guidelines for development by referring back to the appropriate section in the
zoning (landscaping parking, signage, etc.). It also includes a character of the development statement
which addresses both potential scenarios.
Sheet 2 of the ODP document addresses permitted land uses. The "existing conditions" scenario will
allow all of the uses currently permitted or permitted as a special use in the R-1 zone district including
single family residential, a range of group living situations, quasi -public uses (churches, schools,
government uses) and urban agriculture uses. It also includes a variety of lower impact commercial
uses such as event centers and support functions, service establishments (cosmetic treatment and
massage therapy centers, small retail establishments (antique stores, interior decorating shops) and
residential treatment facilities. The commercial uses allowed are most closely aligned with the
Neighborhood Commercial zone district. Due to a concern for noise, Staff recommends that outside
runs be eliminated from the veterinary clinic listing.
The "redevelopment" scenario includes a more limited range of residential uses allowing single family
residences and multi -family developments with up to 21 units per acre. The list does not include group
homes or residential treatment facilities. It also includes a variety of low impact commercial uses such
as service establishments (cosmetic treatment and massage therapy centers) and an expanded list of
small retail establishments (antique stores, interior decorating shops). The commercial uses allowed
are most closely aligned with Restricted Commercial zone district which is a district intended to
provide "neighborhood oriented" commercial uses. Due to a concern for noise, Staff recommends that
outside runs be eliminated from the veterinary clinic listing.
Planning Commission
WZ-16-O1/AMOF
A list of permitted accessory uses has also been provided. Both use categories prohibit drive -up and
drive-through uses and uses which require outdoor storage, again consistent with the RC zone district.
Sheet 3 of the plan set varies from our typical ODP "bubble plan" in that it is reflecting current
improvements representing the "existing conditions" scenario. The third sheet also lists development
standards for both the "existing structure" and "redevelopment" scenarios.
On the graphic, in addition to circulation, there are three access points shown for the property. The
main access point is located off 32nd Avenue and provides access to the primary building on the
property (building 3), the dorm building (building 4), the small office (building 5) and existing
parking. A second access from 32nd Avenue is off-site on the property to the west and provides access
to the barn/garage structure (building 6), the shed (building 2) and the freestanding house (building 1).
The original entrance to the property is located at the southeast corner of the site and in the most recent
past, was used for emergency access only. The West Metro Fire Protection District has indicated that
this secondary access will be not be needed and can be eliminated. This modification needs to be
reflected on the graphic.
The development standards for the "existing conditions" scenario recognizes the current improvements
on the property but also addresses future structures/additions to the existing buildings. Development
standards for the "redevelopment" scenario are shown in a separate table. The graph below compares
the two scenarios.
Maximum building height allowed is 35' which is consistent with all residential zone districts and the
NC and RC zone districts.

IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA
Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in section 26-122.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 property is currently underutilized and mostly vacant. While the new zoning would allow for
residential, semi-public, commercial and mixed uses on the lot, any proposed new development
will require site plan review through which traffic impacts, drainage, and buffering will be
analyzed.
The Planned Mixed Use District (PMUD) zoning is expected to add value to the subject property
and also to the surrounding community. The mixed use development standards will support
compatibility between future development and existing land uses. Improvements to the site should
have a positive impact on the neighborhood both aesthetically and from a property value
perspective. The change of zone will not result in adverse effects on the surrounding area if
properly designed and utilized. At the time Specific Development Plan, operational characteristics
such as business hours and use of the outside space should be analyzed to address compatibility
with the adjacent uses.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
2. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the types of uses allowed by the
change of zone, or the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are
under capacity.
All utility agencies have indicated that they can serve the property with improvements installed at
the owner's/developer's expense. Should the zone change be approved, a more detailed review
will occur at the time of Specific Development Plan and plat.
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.
The following documents are applicable to the property and are to be used for guides when
considering zone changes.
NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION STRATEGY
The Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS) was developed and approved by City
Planning Commission
WZ-16-O1/AMOF
Council in 2005. The purpose of the NRS was to set forth strategies for the Qty to leverage
its assets to regain its share of strong households and to more successfully compete with
neighboring communittes for new development opportunities. These strategies aimed to help
Wheat Ridge reinvent itself as a thriving economically diverse community with broad
residential and commercial opportunities
This document identifies strategies for the city to become a community of choice'. It
established goals for WheatRidge to be competitive with adjacent juns fictions by upgading
and increasing variety of housing stock available and targeting underutilized properties for
redevelopment into retail space
COMPRERENKAT PLAN: Envision WheatRidge
The City s Comprehensive Plan, Envision Wheat Ridge was adoptedin 2009. The purpose
ofthe plan is to provide a general vision forthe City related to growth and developmentfor
the next 10 to 20 years. The Plan also provides direction to help the City address future
needs related to economic development commercial and retail development, housing,
transportation, parks and open space and services and utilities.
The Land Use Structure Plan is one component ofthe Comprehensive Plan. Itis general in
nature and not specifically intended to be parcel based
The property under consideration is shown as being Neighborhood The Neighborhood
designation are places for people to own homes and thrive and where residents of all ages can
live safely and comfortable These areas can be a mix of single family, ninth family or other
esi dentia) facilities. Staff concludes that the residential component of both the existing
building' and redevelopment scenarios are consistent with this designation.
Identified goals in the Comprehensive Plan which are being met with the proposed commever ad
component include the following:
e laruucg Cm,misaov p
M 1601/AMOP
• To make Wheat Ridge a "community of choice" in which to live, work, shop and
recreate.
• To actively retain existing retailers and attract quality retail development.
• To promote specialty retail businesses.
• To retain and diversify local employment.
• To increase the diversity of land uses with an emphasis on increased opportunities for
employment, retail and commercial services.
• To emphasize mixed use development in developing and redeveloping areas and along
major corridors.
The Kipling corridor has been identified as one of five target redevelopment areas in the City.
While the Structure Plan does not depict this parcel for nonresidential use, staff believes that
when applying the Comprehensive Plan in totality, it supports the zone change request.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City
of Wheat Ridge is in error.
Staff has not found any evidence of an error with the current Residential -One zoning
designation as it appears on the City's 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.
Development activity along the Kipling corridor continues to intensify with new commercial
redevelopment to the north at 38u' Avenue and commercial reinvestment to the south at 26u'
Avenue.
Kipling is classified as a Principal Arterial and carries over 36,000 vehicles per day (2013
count). Principal arterial roadways serve "high traffic volumes and provide access to regional
destinations, economic centers and freeway interchanges. They have limited access points and
are generally surrounded by commercial land uses."
West 32°d Avenue is classified as a Minor Arterial and carries over 9800 vehicles per day west
of Kipling (2010 count). Minor arterial roadways have "less volume than principal arterials
but still serve to connect regional destinations. Minor arterials are generally surrounded by a
mix of land uses with limited access."
There is an existing 4' wide attached concrete sidewalk running along the 32°d Avenue
fronta e. A gravel path 3' in width runs along the west side of Kipling Street. The intersection
of 32° and Kipling is signalized.
Planning Commission
WZ-16-O1/AMOF
Both West32m Avenue and Kipling were identified in the Transporter on Structure Plan and
the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan as components ofthe City ninth modal grid system.

Excerpt from Envision

Structure plan
The City, with the aid of federal funding, recently completed the Kipling Street multi -use trzit
improvements. This capital project installed on the eastern side of Kipling resulted in the
extension of a 10 wide concrete trail from the Crown Hill Open space at the southeast corner
of32vd and Kipling north to West 44 to Avenue increasing pedestrian connections and safety.
West32m Avenue is designated as abrevet e con dorwar ch extends from downtown Denver
west to Golden. In 2015, the (Sty installed striping and signage to better i dentify 32"d Avenue
as a designated bike route
While the primary structure on the property was built in 1935 as a single family residence it
has not been utilized that way since the early 1980'x. The us e of in e property as a group living
facility for adoloes cents with drug, alcohol and psychiarn c probl ems ex ceeded the typi cal

Based on increased trades and intensification of1and uses on the con dor, Staff concludes that
there are changed conditions which make this property less desirable for low density residential
e The PMUD z oning would provi de a land us e transition between Kipling and the l over

property does not directly abut my existing residential uses.

The proposed rezoning does not relate to an unanticipated need not anticipated in 2009.
However, the rezoning to Planned Mixed Use will aid in the progress to develop the property
which is currently underutilized. Once "reused" or redeveloped, it will then provide services
and goods to residents of Wheat Ridge and commuters using the Kipling corridor.
Staff concludes that this criterion has not been met.
V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
The required pre -application meeting for neighborhood input was held on December 21, 2015. There
were approximately 10 persons in attendance (Exhibit 6, Neighborhood meeting recap, Exhibit 7, Sign-
up sheet,)
Attached are written comments received from the neighborhood (Exhibit 8, Correspondence received)
VI. AGENCY REFERRALS
All affected service agencies were contacted regarding their ability to serve the property. The
developer will be responsible for any needed upgrades to accommodate the proposed development.
An additional referral will be distributed during the SDP process. Specific referral responses follow.
CDOT: Has no objections to the zone change request.
Consolidated Mutual Water District: Can serve the property subject to installation of improvements
with the change of use or new development.
Westridge Sanitation District: Is currently serving the property. Determination of the service/line
capacity and any required upgrades will be reviewed at the time SDP.
West Metro Fire Protection District: Can serve the property. Water plan and hydrant locations will
be addressed at the time of SDP and plat. Does not need a secondary access into the development.
Wheat Ridge Police: Can serve the new development.
Wheat Ridge Public Works: Has reviewed a preliminary traffic generation letter with assumptions
provided for potential uses. As long as these figures are not exceeded, a full traffic study determining
the potential for street improvements is not required. There are no drainage implications with the
application for zone change.
Xcel Energy: Can serve.
Planning Commission 11
WZ-16-O1/AMOF
VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff has concluded that the property is underutilized and is no longer desirable for low density
residential housing. Approval of the zone change will expand permitted uses and redevelopment
opportunities for the property. Staff further concludes that the proposed PMUD zoning is consistent
with various portions of the NRS and Comprehensive Plan and will provide a land use transition
between Kipling and the neighborhoods to the west and north.
Because the proposed zoning and ODP meet the criteria used to evaluate a zone change, a
recommendation of approval is given for Case No. WZ-16-01 with the conditions listed below.
VIII. SUGGESTED MOTIONS:
Option A: "I move to recommend APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-16-01, a request for approval of
zone change from Residential -One (R-1) to Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) with an
Outline Development Plan (ODP), on property located at 10001 W. 32°d Avenue for the following
reasons:
1. The property is currently underutilized and the zone change will expand uses and
redevelopment opportunities for the property.
2. There are changed conditions on the Kipling corridor with intensification of use and the
volume of traffic which render the property unsuitable for low density residential use.
3. The proposed zoning provides a logical land use transition between Kipling and the low
density neighborhoods to the west and north.
4. The proposal is consistent with various provisions in the NRS and Envision Wheat Ridge.
5. The proposal meets the zone change criteria.
6. All requirements for an Outline Development Plan have been met.
With the following conditions:
1. Due to a concern for noise, Staff recommends that outside runs be eliminated from the
veterinary clinic listing in both scenarios.
2. The emergency access at the southeast corner of the graphic be eliminated.
3. A note shall be added to the ODP indicating that limitations on hours of operation will be
considered during the SDP process to minimize neighborhood impacts. "
Option B: I move to recommend DENIAL of Case No. WZ-16-01, a request for approval of zone
change from Residential -One (R-1) to Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) with an Outline
Development Plan (ODP), on property located at 10001 W. 32°d Avenue for the following reasons:
1.
2.

Com umw DW WPMfNT LEGISLATIVE ITEM STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 20, 2016
TITLE: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLES I, II AND VI OF
CHAPTER 26 OF THE WHEAT RIDGE CODE OF LAWS
CONCERNING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RESIDENTIAL
BULK PLANE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
CASE NO. ZOA-16-06
® PUBLIC HEARING ® CODE CHANGE ORDINANCE
Case Manager: Zack Wallace, Planner I
Date of Preparation: October 13, 2016
SUMMARY
Staff has been researching bulk plane standards for several months and has presented bulk plane
information to City Council and Planning Commission during several study sessions discussions
In July, Staff was directed to continue researching bulk plane standards. Based, in part on the
community's response to some infill developments in East Wheat Ridge, Council deemed it
necessary to declare an emergency and adopt an emergency ordinance in August to implement a
bulk plane standard for properties zoned Residential -One C (R -IQ. This emergency ordinance
will expire, per Charter regulations, on November 21, 2016.
The proposed ordinance intends to be a permanent solution to the emergency ordinance adopted
in August, with a slightly expanded scope. That proposed ordinance reflects the direction
provided by City Council after considering information provided during several rounds of study
sessions, public comments, and Planning Commission recommendations.
Notice for this public hearing was provided as required by the Code of Laws.
Over the past several months staff has worked to create an ordinance that balances the goals of
the City's guiding documents such as the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy and the
Comprehensive plan, which call for reinvestment in Wheat Ridge neighborhoods, and for
respecting Wheat Ridge's established neighborhoods.
ZOA-16-06 /Bulk Plane
During the most recent study session with Planning Commission in mid-September, the
commissioners did not come to a consensus on an appropriate starting height for bulk plane.
Overall, the Commission felt that bulk plane is not the most appropriate tool to address the
neighborhood concerns and suggested that a bulk plane ordinance be adopted only as a temporary
solution as staff conducts a more in-depth analysis into neighborhood overlays, building height,
and architectural design standards.
Following the Planning Commission study session, City Council was presented with a similar
memorandum and a summary of Planning Commission's discussion. City Council understood the
Planning Commission's desire for a more in-depth process, but directed Staff to continue with
the bulk plane ordinance. Staff presents the attached draft ordinance based on consensuses
reached during City Council study sessions. Generally speaking, City Council is supportive of the
45' bulk plane measured 15 feet above each property line, as measured from the base plane. The
base plane is calculated as an average of the midpoints of each property line. City Council came
to a consensus on applying bulk plane standards only to the R -1C zone district and single family
homes in the R-3 zone district.
Exceptions
City Council was supportive of allowing exceptions to the bulk plane. Staff has provided a list of
allowable exceptions: chimneys, architectural features consistent with current setback
encroachment allowances, mechanical equipment, including solar panels, and dormers with some
size limitations. Staff has also included open -type railings compliant with adopted City codes.
The 2012 International Residential Code, which the City has adopted and currently enforces,
calls for the following: 36" tall railings; openings in the railings (such as the space between
supports, spindles, intermediate rails, and the like) must be spaced in a manner which does not
allow a 4 -inch sphere to pass through it.
Variances
The ability to apply for variances from the bulk plane, as is available for most other development
standards, was supported by City Council. How variances are measured is typically not codified,
as most measurements are self-explanatory. Staff will adopt its measurement of the bulk plane
variance as a departmental policy, rather than codifying the technique for measurement. Under
the existing regulations for variances, a variance up to 50% can be considered for administrative
approval by the community development director. Initially, staff considered whether an applicant
could request a 50% variance from the 15 -foot bulk plane measurement, resulting in a 22.5 -foot
bulk plane measurement. The practical effect of such a variance (if approved) would be to nullify
the intent of the bulk plane regulation and allow a 35 -foot tall structure to be constructed at or
near the minimum 5 -foot setback line. Staff does not think that would be in the spirit of what
should be allowed through the administrative review process. The administrative policy staff is
proposing to implement would allow an administrative variance process for up to 50%

Sloped Lots
At the October 3 City Council study session, based on information presented by an east Wheat
Ridge property owner, there was also discussion of the applicability of bulk plane regulations on
sloped lots. Based on the manner in which "base plane" is established in the draft ordinance,
which is consistent with how building height is currently measured in the zoning code, it is
correct to say that meeting bulk plane requirements on sloped lots has a greater impact. On
sloped lots, in order to meet the bulk plane requirements, the effective side yard setbacks are
greater for taller 2- and 3 -story structures. We think this is consistent with the intent of
implementing a bulk plane standard, which is intended to minimize the impact of the mass and
bulk of these taller structures, particularly on the downslope property line(s).
However, it is also important to consider whether the relatively small R-1 C lots still have a
reasonable development potential. Staff has conducted an analysis (see Figures 2 and 3) that we
believe illustrates that these narrower (50 -foot wide) R-1 C lots continue to have a reasonable
development potential if the City were to implement the bulk plane regulations as currently
drafted.

TITLE: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 26 OF THE WHEAT RIDGE
CODE OF LAWS CONCERNING THE REGULATION OF BULK PLANE
STANDARDS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL -ONE C (RAC) AND ONE -FAMILY
DWELLINGS IN THE RESIDENTIAL -THREE (R-3) ZONE DISTRICT.
WHEREAS, the City of Wheat Ridge ("City") is a home rule municipality
operating under a charter adopted pursuant to Article XX of the Colorado Constitution
and vested with the authority by that article and the Colorado Revised Statutes to adopt
ordinances for the regulation of land use and protection of the public health, safety and
welfare; and
WHEREAS, in exercise of that authority, the City Council of the City of Wheat
Ridge has previously enacted Chapter 26 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws (the
"Code") pertaining to zoning, land use, and development; and
WHEREAS, the City is witnessing three-story residential infill development in
established neighborhoods consisting of mostly single -story residences; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has identified this development pattern as
constituting a detriment to the public peace, health, and safety by impacting privacy and
impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that this ordinance is necessary to address
this development pattern; and
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted an emergency ordinance, pursuant to
Section 5.13 of the Wheat Ridge City Charter (the "Charter), which enacted a bulk plane
regulation in the Residential -One C (R-1 C) zone district; and
WHEREAS, the emergency ordinance will expire on November 21, 2016,
pursuant to Section 5.13 of the Charter; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes a permanent ordinance will continue to
improve the quality or character of new development and further enhance and protect
existing neighborhoods while respecting private property rights;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO:
Section 1. Ordinance No. 1602, declaring an emergency and enacting a bulk
plane regulation in the Residential -One C (R -1C) zone district, enacted August
22, 2016, is repealed upon the effective date of this ordinance.
Section 2. Section 26-120.C.1 (Nonconforming structures and uses) of the
Code is amended to read.
Any one- or two-family dwelling structure or customary accessory
structures may be enlarged, altered or added to provided that all lot
coverage requirements of the zoning district in which the structure is
located are met, and provided that the enlargement, alteration or addition
does not increase the extent of nonconforming setbacks by encroaching
beyond the existing setback line. THE RESIDENTIAL BULK PLANE
STANDARDS SET FORTH IN SECTION 26-641.A. SHALL APPLY TO
ANY ENLARGEMENT, ALTERATION OR ADDITION OF OR TO BOTH
THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE AND ANY ACCESSORY STRUCTURES
TO THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE. In instances of corner lots, no
enlargement, alteration or addition shall be permitted to encroach within
the minimum sight distance triangle as set forth in subsection 26-603B.
In addition, no enlargement, alteration or addition which extends within
the nonconforming area shall result in the development of any additional
dwelling units.
Section 3. Section 26-123 (Definitions.) of the Code is amended by the addition
of the following definitions in their appropriate alphabetical locations:
Base plane. The horizontal plane which is generally parallel
to a property's existing grade from which building height
and bulk plane are measured.
Building envelope. The three-dimensional space within
which a structure is permitted to be built on a lot and which
is defined by regulations governing building setbacks,
maximum height, and bulk plane, by other regulations, or
any combination thereof.
Bulk plane. The angled plane which extends from a set
height above each property line and constrains the
permitted building envelope.
Section 4. Section 26-208.13 (Residential -One C District [R -1C] Development
Standards) of the Code is amended by the addition of footnote (f) as follows:
(F) BULK PLANE REGULATIONS SHALL APPLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 26-641.
Section 5. Section 26-211.13 (Residential -Three District [R-3] Development

Section 6. Chapter 26 of the Code is hereby amended by the addition of a new
section 26-641, to read in its entirety as follows:
26-641. BULK PLANE
A. BULK PLANE. IN ADDITION TO THE HEIGHT AND SETBACK
STANDARDS OF ARTICLE II, BUILDING ENVELOPES ARE
REGULATED BY A THREE-DIMENSIONAL BULK PLANE FOR THE
PURPOSE OF PRESERVING NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY,
PRIVACY, AND THE ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF LIGHT AND AIR.
1. APPLICABILITY. THE BULK PLANE RESTRICTIONS OF THIS
SECTION SHALL APPLY TO ALL STRUCTURES ON A LOT
FOR WHICH A BUILDING PERMIT IS APPLIED FOR AFTER
THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF ORDINANCE NO ----, SERIES
2016. THE ENTIRETY OF ANY BUILDING ENVELOPE SHALL
BE CONTAINED WITHIN THE BULK PLANE, UNLESS
OTHERWISE EXEMPTED BY SUBSECTION 4.
2. MEASUREMENT OF BULK PLANE. THE BULK PLANE IS A
PLANE THAT BEGINS FIFTEEN (15) FEET ABOVE EVERY
PROPERTY LINE OF A LOT OR PARCEL, WHICH THEN
SLOPES AT A FORTY-FIVE (45) DEGREE ANGLE UNTIL IT

SIDE OF THE LOT OR PARCEL. SEE FIGURE 26-641.2.
MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHTS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE II,
CHAPTER 26 SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE HEIGHT
AT WHICH THE TWO OPPOSITE BULK PLANES INTERSECT
ABOVE THE LOT OR PARCEL.
3. MEASUREMENT OF BASE PLANE. THE BASE PLANE (SEE
FIGURE 641.1) SHALL BE MEASURED FROM THE EXISTING
AVERAGE GRADE OF A LOT OR PARCEL. AVERAGE
GRADE SHALL BE CALCULATED AS THE AVERAGE OF THE
ELEVATIONS TAKEN AT THE MIDPOINTS OF EACH
PROPERTY LINE. SEE FIGURE 26-641.2.
4. EXCEPTIONS. ENCROACHMENTS INTO THE BULK PLANE
SHALL BE PERMITTED AS FOLLOWS:
A. CHIMNEYS
B. OPEN -TYPE RAILINGS COMPLIANT WITH
ADOPTED CITY CODE
