EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In response to the terrorist attacks on 9/11/200 1, the Homeland Secunty Presidential Directive (HSPD)
#5 directed the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to develop and administer a
National Incident Management Plan (NIMS) This would provide a consistent nationwide approach at
all levels of government to work together more effectively and efficiently to prevent, prepare for,
respond to, and recover from domestic inCidents, regardless of cause, size or complexity.
NIMS provides a system that allows the City to respond to and manage an mcident internally and in
conjunction with other jurisdictions in a seamless fashion. NIMS is intended to enhance the City's
readiness, maintain first responder safety and streamline incident management processes.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The City must be NIMS compliant by the end of 2005 if Department of Homeland Security funds are
desired.
NIMS principals and policies must be formally recogmzed and adopted.
The City must utIlize the Incident Command System (ICS) which falls under the umbrella of NIMS
FEMA describes ICS as a standardized organizational structure used to command, control, and
coordinate the use of resources and personnel that have responded to the scene of an emergency.
The concepts and principles for ICS include common terminology, modular organization,
integrated communication, unified command structure, consolidated action plan, manageable span
of control, designated incident facilities, and comprehensive resource management.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
None
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Completion of training classes is a compliance reqUirement. Numerous required courses have been
attended by police personnel with the majority of the training costs being paid for through grant
dollars. Continued training is expected with some classes covered by grant dollars while others will
need to be budgeted for.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve ResolutlOn 29-2005 - A Resolution Implementing the National Incident
Management System for the City of Wheat Ridge."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Federal Clean Water Act requires that the City establish a stormwater management program as
defined by the City's State of Colorado Stormwater Discharge Permit. A stormwater management
utility is recommended to provide the revenues to operate the required program. The fees established
will also fund maintenance and capital improvements of the storm drainage system. The stormwater
utility fee for residential property is recommended to be established as $8400 per year, while owners
of non,residential properties will be charged $84.00 per year for each 3,400 square footage of
. .
ImpervIOUS area.
Council Bill 25,2004 was heard on first reading November 22,2004 with the public hearing set for
Monday, March 28, 2005. The public hearing was set for March 28, 2005 to allow communication
with the public. The motion also directed staff to investigate alternative funding sources from the
capital or general fund. On March 28, 2005, the Public Hearing was continued until June 27, 2005.
A Stormwater Open House was held on Monday, April 4, 2005 With approximately 150 reSidents In
attendance. Information was also distributed to residents at the June 6, 2005 Town Hall Meeting.
Approximately 175 residents were in attendance at the Town Hall Meeting.
COMMISSIONfBOARD RECOMMENDA nON:
N/A
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The Federal government has imposed the new stormwater management regulation without provision
for funding the operation of the required program. Most cities and counties have established
stormwater utilities to proVide a funding source for the operation of the required stormwater
management program. Many of the local governments are collecting storm water fees which allow
construction of improvements to their storm drainage systems. The proposed ordinance establishing
the stormwater utility is Similar to ordmances in place in Arvada and Lakewood. The recommended
stormwater fees will allow operation of the required Stormwater Management Program, as well as
construction of approximately $l ,200,000 in improvements to the City storm drainage system each
year. The Identified deficiencies withm the Wheat Ridge drainage system are estimated at
approximately $38,000,000.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
The StOlmwater Management Program IS currently funded from the General Fund. Fundmg the
program from a stormwater utility would decrease the burden on the General Fund. Any mcrease in
projects or programs in the Capital Investment Program will increase the transfer of funds from the
General Fund to the Capital Investment Fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The stormwater utility will fund the reqUired Stormwater Management Program and allow
Improvement of the storm dram age system.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill 25-2004 an Ordmance Establishing a Stormwater Management
Utility; Setting Service Charges Related Thereto, and PrOViding for the Management Thereof,
including use of Revenues, AdmmistratIon of Programs, Appeals, and Enforcement, on second
reading, and that it take effect 15 days after final publicatIOn."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant requests approval of a zone change from A,1, Agriculture,One and C,1, Commercial,
One to Planned CommerCial Development (PCD) and for approval of a PCD Outline Development
Plan for property located at 4900 and 4990 Parlet Street.
The Outline Development Plan accompanies the rezoning ordinance and sets allowable uses and
development standards. It is general in nature and serves as a basic blueprint for development of the
property. A final development plan and plat would have to be approved at a future date prior to any
development occurring on the property.
Planning Commission made a motion to approve the application at their May 19,2005 meeting. The
motion tied, therefore, the approval motion faIled. final action by Plannmg Commission is pending.
This City Council actIOn IS related to Goal 4 of the Strategic Plan to promote 1,70 as a maJor
commercial center by provldmg destination retail businesses and an expanded tax base and mcreased
property values.
COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION:
Plannmg CommiSSIOn reviewed thiS request at a public hearing held on May 19,2005 A motIOn to
approve was made with the followmg findmgs'
1. The maJonty of the property under consideratIOn was zoned from A,I to C-l m 1986.
2. The deSign parameters shown are generally consistent with the C,l zone district.
3. The proposed document meets all requirements for a Planned Commercial Development
Outline Development Plan.
4. There has been a change in character in the area as evidenced by new commercial
development occurring to the west of the property in the past seven years, an approved
rezoning to Pill to the north of the property in 2002, and construction of a maJor
commercial center at 50th and Kipling.
5. Although not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan designation, the designation of
Agricultural Estate ReSidential did not acknowledge the presence of commerCial zoning on
the property. Large lot residential development is inconsistent with the trend of
commercial and industrial development in the area.
6 A majonty of the property is already zoned commercially The proposed zone change IS
compatible with the surrounding area and there will be mmimal adverse Impacts.
7 There will be economic benefits to the community derived from the zone change.
8 Adequate infrastructure IS available to serve the proposed development.
9 The change of zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare
10 The change of zone will not create an isolated zone district.
With the following conditions.
1. Employee parkmg for the Medved Autoplex (all three parcels) shall be accommodated on
site. There shall be no exceptions.
2. The city shall post signs prohibiting overnight parking on Parfet Street
3 Lighting shall be designed and located such that there shall be no light trespass onto
adjacent properties or streets from pole, mounted lights, wall mounted lights and lighted signs.
4. Applicant shall be required to provide a 30 foot right-of,way or easement for West 50th
A venue extension on the north property line and/or dramage purposes. This issue shall be
resolved prior to or concurrent with the final development plan and final plat.
5. The applicant shall discuss with Public Works and the Fire District the implementation and
distribution of traffic calming devices on Parfet Street as part of the final development plan.
The motion to approve failed due to a tie vote. Final actIOn by Planmng Commission is
pendmg.
One neighbor was present at this public hearing to speak to this request. The adjacent property owner,
Chuck StJesmeyer residmg at 4996 Parfet Street, spoke regarding the parkmg of vehicles on Parfet
2
Street, excessive traffic speeds on Parfet Street, lack of maintenance on the existing lots, excessive
lighting on the eXisting lots and the extension of W. 50th Avenue. He distributed a packet of
information to Planning Commission which has been made part of the case file.
Staff recommended to the applicant that mediation with the adjacent property owner be pursued. The
applicant chose not to do so.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Staff acknowledges that the development of this parcel may have a negative impact on the residences
to the north; however, this IS an area that is not conducive to single family residential development.
The 1-70 comdor continues to be developed with commercial and industrial projects includmg a zone
change to Pill to the north in 2002 and a major commercial center currently under construction at 50th
A venue and Kipling. Between 1995 and 2001, the number of vehicle trips per day on 1-70 increased by
5,400 to over 105,000 trips per day.
This property IS located withm the Columbine Basin Drainage Outfall plan area. This is a major
regional drainage system plan which Includes properties to the northwest in Arvada, contInues east
through the new development at 50th A venue and Kipling, to past Garrison Street. The plan, adopted
by Urban Drainage and Flood Control Dlstnct m 1994, shows required conveyance faCilities on the
site running north along Oak Street to W. 50th Avenue and extendmg over to Parfet Street. To
accommodate the new dealership, improvements between Oak and Miller must also be completed.
The applicant's engineers are continuing to work on this design. The OutlIne Development Plan stage
of the planned development process does not require an approved drainage plan and report.
Staff feels the constructiOn of W. 50th A venue between Oak Street and Parfet IS critical. Not only
would It allow a secondary access route through this industnal area but could also be used as a
channel for the ColumbIne BaSIn dramage way Improvements. Staff will be recommending the
dedicatIOn of right,of,way at the time of final development plan and plat approval.
The applicant lS working towards resolution of existing code enforcement issues including lighting
and lack of maintenance of landscapIng.
AL TERN A TIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not approve thiS request.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A one time review fee was collected for the processing of this application. Additional review fees will
be required for the processIng of the final development plan and plat and building permit. Sales tax
revenues are generated from the sale of vehicles to Wheat Ridge residents only. Sales tax revenues
will be generated by the sales of auto parts. Use tax will also be collected on any building materials.

In 1998, the applicant applied for an amendment to the recorded planned building group for 11201 W.
1-70 Frontage Road to allow construction of two buildings containmg a total of 98,000 square feet of
building area. An additional building With 9000 square feet of area was proposed on the north end of
the property. ThiS buildmg was mtended to serve as a child care faCIlity for employees. A 10' nght,
of,way vacatIOn also occurred for West 50th Avenue which was dedicated back to the property owner
In 1999, the dealership was Cited for having illegal vehicle storage on the vacant property on the east
side of Parlet. In response to the citation, an application was submitted for approval of a temporary
use permit to allow temporary vehicle storage. The request was denied by the Board of Adjustment on
December 9, 1999.
The applicant filed SUIt With the Jefferson County District Court against the City of Wheat Ridge and
the Board of Adjustment. The court upheld the decision of the Board of Adjustment.
IV. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Outline Development Plan (ODP), which accompanies a rezoning ordmance, sets the allowable
uses and development standards for the property. Typically the Outlme Development Plan is general
in nature and serves as the blueprint for development of the property.
The Outline Development Plan is also used to establish design parameters includin~maximum
buildi~~~ei~ht, minimum landscaped coverage and minimum perimeter setbacks~~ffibIt3,OutJine
~y!?)pP~e.n~rian) . ...... . .. ....
Allowable uses
PermItted uses include auto sales and rental, warehousing and parts distribution and repair and
detailing. Staff suggested that the use list be expanded to allow test driving and general office, service
and retail uses. The additional uses have been added to the ODP.
Access
Two access points are shown on both Parlet Street and Oak Street. Both access points align with the
eXlstmg curb cuts on the dealership to the west.
Development Standards
The following development standards are depicted on the ODP. The eXisting development and any
future redevelopment of the site must comply With these standards.

Staff concludes that the proposed development standards are generally consistent with those in the
CommercIal-One zone district regulations. All reqUirements for a Planned Commercial Development
Outline Development Plan have been met.
V. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA
Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a change in zone.
1. That the existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the
City of Wheat Ridge is an error.
The official zomng map is not m error. The parcells currently zoned Agriculture-One and
Commercial,One.
2. That a change in character in the area has occurred due to installation of public facilities,
other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration, or development transitions, and that the
evidence supports the finding of the following.
Planning Commission
WZ,05,05/Bear Land Holdings
4
This could be considered a transltlOnal area m the City of Wheat Ridge. Although there are
four existing single,family residences to the north (along Parfet), the general trend in thiS
neighborhood is towards more commercialIzatIOn of properties. The agnculturalldentity of the
area IS dimmishlllg, and development is transitioning towards light industrial and commercial
uses. The majonty of the property under consideratlOn was rezoned from A,l to C,l in 1986
Land to the north of thiS property was rezoned from A-I to PID pursuant to Case No. WZ,02-
12 (Hoss) The llltent of the zone change was for development of an electncal contractor's
yard. There are other industnal uses to the northeast of the site includlllg Inland Container and
the Rocky Mountain Bottle plant, which have undergone plan revisions and expansions in the
past several years. Although not in Wheat Ridge, a major commercial development is under
constructIOn at 50th A venue and Kipling.
The property IS in close proximity to 1,70 which carries lllcreasingly more traffic each year.
1995 traffic counts indicate that 99,600 vehicles per day travel on this portion ofI,70. A more
recent CDOT count performed in 2001 indicated that the vehicle trips per day have increased
to more than 105,000.
3. That 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, and other related policies or plans for the area.
When the property was rezoned to C-1 in 1986, the Comprehensive Plan designated it as
Industnal The existing Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2000 The designation on the
current future land use map is AgriculturalfEstate Residential (AER) (Not to exceed one unit
per acre). The AER deslgnation describes the desired character as "Neighborhoods wlth very
low density housing and a predomlllantly rural character." Desired attributes include well
maintallled dwellings, lots comprised of primarily open lands, the ability to raise domesticated
farm or ranch animals, the ability to construct accessory structures that assist in the production
of value,added agricultural products, and densities not to exceed one dwelling unit per acre.
The desirability of this area as estate lots within such close proximity to 1,70 and adjacent
commercial and industrial uses is questIOnable.
The Comprehensive Plan DeSignation for the subject property is AER, but property directly to
the east and further to the north is shown as Planned BusinesslIndustrial Park.
The proposed commercial zone change is inconsistent with the deSignation on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. That the proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will
be minimal adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived.
The subject property is surrounded by a variety of land uses including a single family reSidence
zoned A-Ion the northwest side of the property. On the northeast side of the property is land
zoned A,l to be utilized for detention area for a PID to the north. The PID was approved
pursuant to Case No. WZ- 02,12 as a zone change from A-I. It is intended to be utilized as an
electrical contractor's business. To the east is a mixture of light industrial and commercial
uses. To the west are the eXisting dealerships and farther west commercial and industnal uses.
Planning Commission
WZ-OS-OSfBear Land Holdings

The zone change will be compatible with adjacent commercial and mdustnal uses but not the
residential properties to the north along Parfet Street.
5. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the
community derived by the change of zone.
There will not be social, recreational or physical benefits to the community as a result of the
change in zone. If the property is developed there may be an economic benefit to the city
through property tax increases smce the property IS presently undeveloped land.
Sales tax revenues from the sales of vehIcles are credIted to the municipality where the buyer
resides. There would be sales tax generated from parts sales.
6. That adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the type of uses allowed by
the change of zone, or that the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist
or are under capacity.
All agenCIes can serve the property with upgrades to mfrastructure, the cost of which will be
borne by the applicant.
7. That the change of zone will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by
creating excessive traffic congestion, creating drainage problems, or seriously reducing light and
air to the adjacent properties.
The proposed development of this parcel could have a negative affect on the reSidences north
of the property. At the neighborhood meeting, the adjacent neighbor spoke regardmg the glare
and light generated by the existing dealerships. The development of this site will have an
added impact on this residence.
One of the major impacts of the dealership has been parking. The Zoning and Development
Code requires that commercial developments provide all parking for customers, employees and
inventory on-site. In each of the previous land use approvals for the dealership, the issue of
cars parking on Parfet Street was addressed. The most recent approval (1999) speCified that
parking could occur on Parfet Street only dunng construction of the newest dealershIp. The
most recent inspection showed 52 vehicles parked along Parfet. Unless this new facility
addresses this parking issue and prOVides adequate on'slte parking, the present practice of
parking on Parfet will contmue to adversely affect neighboring residents.
There are also concerns regarding regIOnal drainage. ThiS property is located within the
Columbine Basin Drainage Outfall plan area. According to the plan adopted by Urban
Drainage and Flood Control District, there are conveyance facilities shown running north along
Oak Street to W. 50th Avenue and extending over to Parfet Street. An additional conveyance
facility would run adjacent to the Xcel Energy easement on the south side of the parcel.
Although preliminary drainage information was prOVided, It is unclear at this time whether the
proposal can accommodate the Columbine Basin improvements. ~:m~~~GoiUDiliint

8. That the change of zone will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to
adjacent or nearby areas.
Spot zoning is not a concern as there is other commercial zoning m the area.
VI. WEST 50TH AVENUE
The issue of extension of W. 50th A venue has been debated smce the ongmal parcel on the west side
of Parfet was platted. W. 50th A venue currently extends from Miller to Oak Street, east of the subject
parcel and from Robb Street east where It dead,ends into a cul,de-sac on 11201 W. 1,70 Frontage
Road North (western Autoplex parcel).
1986:
In the mid-1980's, an amendment was made to the Major Streets Plan of the Comprehensive Plan.
This amendment designated an artenal street corridor between Kipling Street and Ward Road. Since
50th was a logical extension, 40' of right-of way was dedicated for 50th A venue as part of the two,lot
subdivision approval on the parcel on the west side of Parfet in 1986.
1994:
During the 1994 Planned Building Group approval for an mtenm used car sales operation on 11201
W 1,70 Frontage Road North, the applicant indicated that he felt it was premature to develop 50th
Avenue at the time, but would be Willing to participate when the time was appropriate. A condition of
City Council approval was that W. 50th be constructed on both sectIOns of the Medved property when
a building permit for the western parcel is issued.
1998:
As part of the PBG review for a permanent dealership on 11201 W. 1,70 Frontage Road, street
construction plans for 50th A venue were reviewed and it was mdicated that these improvements should
be completed on both lots connectmg to Parfet prior to issuance of a C.O. The street extension was
needed as the plan relied on 50th A venue for the unloading of vehicles on the north end. The plan was
approved by City Council on July 13 but was reconsidered at the next meetmg (July 27). The
reconSideration allowed construction of a cul-de-sac off 50th on the north side of the property (in lieu
of full street extension) with the vacation of the southern 10' of that right,of-way. Further, that the
designation for 50th be changed from an arterial to a collector and that 50th Avenue would only be
completed If and when the residential properties to the east on Parfet are developed for industrial or
commerCial uses.
2000:
The new Comprehensive Plan is adopted. The connectIOn of 50th A venue between Parfet and Oak
Street is deleted on the Roadway Classification Map.
2003:
During the final development plan and plat hearings for Case No. WZ-03-08 (Hoss PID), Public
Works requested a 25' wide dedication for 50th Avenue extendin~ west from Oak Street. The purpose
was to reserve one,half of the right,of-way width in the event 50 is extended from Oak Street to
partet. ThiS condition was not included in the motion for approval and no right-of,way dedication
occurred.
Planning Commission
WZ-05-05/Bear Land Holdings

Staff feels the construction of W. 50th A venue between Oak Street and Parfet IS still critical. Not only
would it allow a secondary access route through this mdustrial area but could also be used as a channel
for the Columbme Basin dramageway improvements. Staff will be recommending the dedication of
nght,of,way at the time of final development plan and plat approval.
VII. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
A meetmg for neighborhood input was held on May 18, 2004 (Exhibit 6, Neighborhood Meeting
Recap and Exhibit 7, Attendance List).
VIII. AGENCY REFERRALS
All affected service agencies were contacted regardmg the ability to serve the property. The developer
will be responsible for any needed upgrades to accommodate the proposed development. Specific
referral responses follow.
Arvada Fire Protection District: AFPD expressed concern regarding life safety and fire department
access due to the congestion on Parfet Street by employee parking. They are strongly recommendmg
that any land use approvals be conSidered to rebeve this parkIng congestIOn
Ditch Companies: The three affected ditch companies want to review changes to the current ditch
configuratIOns as part of the final development plan and plat process.
Valley Water District: Valley Water District has adequate capacity to serve the proJect. Additional
water main lines, fire hydrants or fire spnnkler lines may be needed.
Urban Drainage and Flood Control District: UDFCD does not usually obJect to zone changes, but
has concerns With this one. The preliminary drainage information provided deViates from the approved
Columbine Basin Outfall Systems Plan. They would prefer to have an open channel system and are
not sure this can be accommodated with the mtensity of the development being proposed.
Public Works Department: The Public Works Department has reViewed preliminary drainage and
traffic information. They have requested additional information be provided at the time of final
development plan and plat. This would include a Traffic Impact Study analyzing the proposed affect
on 1,70 Frontage Road North. Public Works recommends future construction ofW. 50th Avenue, and
that suffiCient nght,of,way be dedicated at the time of final development plan and plat.
In regards to storm sewer Issues, Public Works will reqUire sufficient nght-of,way to construct the
drainage facilities as descnbed in the Columbine Basin, Outfall Systems Planning. Construction of the
facilities will be reqUired at the time of construction of the Autoplex expansion. The proposed
development Will reqUire extension of the Arvada Channel from Miller Street to Oak Street to service
the property. The City may assist Medved m the construction of the Arvada Channel by partiCipating
in partial reimbursement if necessary. Extension of the Arvada Channel from Oak Street to Parfet may
also be reqUired to service the proposed expansion development and/or the eXisting Medved Autoplex.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The zoning and development code reqUires that all parking for commercial uses be located on the lot
where the use is located. Some flexibility is provided whereby an owner can arrange to have off-lot
parking on an adjacent parcel, if the parcel is properly zoned. Currently, parking for adJacent
commercial uses is allowed only in C-1, C,2 and I zone distncts. There are potentially many parkmg
resources adjacent to commercial uses that are not zoned C,1, C-2, or 1.
ThiS proposed ordinance does three things. I) expands the allowance for off-lot parkmg to the NC and
RC zone districts, 2) allows off-lot parking in residential zone districts ONLY where the use is non,
residential or quasl'public, and 3) allows off lot parkmg on residentially zoned property by special use
If the property IS owned by the adjacent bUSIness owner.
The proposed ordInance assists in achieving the Council's goal of being prepared for growth and
opportunities by providing flexible means to meet development standards. The ordinance also relates
to the goal of redevelopIng Wheat Ridge city center by providing additional flexibility in meeting
parking requirements in areas targeted for revitalization, such as the 38th Avenue corridor.

COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
Planning ComIDlssion heard this request at public hearings on May 5, 2005 and June 2, 2005 and
recommended approval with modifications. SectIOn 26-501 C 4 b has been modified per the
ComffilsslOn's recommendation. The ordinance allows parking on a residentially zoned parcel by
special use if the adjacent business owner also owns the residential parcel. The Planning CommissIOn
did not recommend this change, recommending Instead that the planned development regulatIOns be
modIfied to allow a request for rezoning to a straight commercial for surface parking.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Parking is one of the difficult development standards to address in revitalizing existing
commercial areas in the City. The code requires that all parking be located on the lot where the
use IS located. Some flexibility is provided whereby an owner can arrange to have off-lot parking
WIth an adjacent use. A parking agreement among the two owners and the City IS required. ThiS
agreement is recorded in the real estate records of the County so it becomes binding on the parties.
The agreement may be terminated when a use changes, for example, and the off,lot parking is no
longer needed.
Section 26,501 C 4 b requires the off,lot parking to be located in an area properly zoned for such
parking. Currently, parking for adjacent commercial uses IS allowed only In C-1, C-2 and I zone
dIStrictS. There are potentially many parking resources adjacent to commerCIal uses that are not
zoned C,l, C,2, or I, such as churches and schools. There are also a few mstances where an
adjacent parcel could be acquired by a bUSiness owner for parking, but the parcel is zoned
residentially, not used for quasi'public or non,residential uses, and would need to be rezoned. To
rezone the adjacent parcel requires rezoning to a Planned Commercial District (all rezonIngs for
commercial uses require rezoning to planned development, regardless of the size of the parcel),
and could take four to SIX months to complete
The proposed ordinance modifies the current regulations for parking to provide additional flexibihty in
meeting parking requirements. Fewer paved surfaces In the City may result from allOWing this
additional flexibility in meeting required parking.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not modify the regulations.
Adopt only some of the modifications.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact to the City of adopting this ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

City of Wheat Ridge
Community Development Department
Memorandum
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Alan White, Commumty Development Director
SUBJECT: Case NO. ZOA 05,01
DA TE: April 28, 2005
This Case is
o Quasi,Judlcial
o Legislative
Parkmg IS one of the difficult development standards to address III revitahzlllg existing commercial
areas III the City The code reqUires that all parkmg be located on the lot where the use is located.
Some flexibility IS provided whereby an owner can arrange to have off-lot parking With an adjacent
use. A parking agreement among the two owners and the City is required. This agreement is
recorded m the real estate records of the County so It becomes blllding on the parties. It may be
termlllated if all parties agree.
Section 26-501 C.4.b.requires the off-lot parking to be located in an area properly zoned for such
parklllg. Currently, parking for adjacent commercial uses IS allowed only III C,l, C,2 and I zone
districts. There are potentially many parking resources adjacent to commercial uses that are not
zoned C-l, C,2, or I, such as churches and schools.
The proposed ordinance change does two things: 1) expands the allowance for off,lot parking to the
NC and C zone dIStrictS and 2) allows off,lot parkmg in residential zone districts ONLY where the
use IS non,residential or quasi,public.
SUGGESTEED MOTION:
"I move to recommend approval of Case No. ZOA 05,0 I concerning the location of parking
faCilities."

SUBJECT: Case NO ZOA 05-01
DATE: May 27, 2005
This Case is:
o Quasl,Judlcial
0' Legislative
This ordinance was previously reviewed by Planning Commission and recommended for approval
with one change. That change has been incorporated into the ordinance.
It is back before you because staff wanted to discuss a possible addition to the ordinance. What If
thiS was a scenario: The owner of a bUSiness has purchased a parcel In a reSidential zone dlstnct and
wants to use it for parking. It containS no other structure or use. It's within 300 feet of the business.
Under the modified regulation, the lot cannot be used for parking for the business because the parcel
doesn't contain a non-residential or quasl,public use.
The questIOn is. Should the new regulation be modified to accommodate this scenario? If so,
suggested language IS shown in the notes column In the ReSidential Table of Uses in the proposed
ordinance.
SUGGESTEED MOTION:
"I move to recommend approval of Case No ZOA 05-01 concerning the locatIOn of parking
faCilities with the modificatIOn as proposed by staff "
