Dear Mr. Gibson:
At its meeting of July 21, 2016 Planning Commission recommended APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-16-
05, a request for approval of a zone change from Residential -One C (R -1C) and Residential -Three (R-3)
to planned Residential Development (PRD) with an ODP for property located at 2826 Eaton Street, for
the following reasons:
1. The proposal is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and other guiding documents;
2. The proposal meets the zone change criteria;
3. The proposed site design and scale of the proposed homes are consistent with the neighborhood;
4. All requirements for an Outline development Plan have been met.
At its meeting of September 12, 2016 City Council APPROVED Case No. WZ-16-05, a request for
approval of a zone change from Residential -One C (R -1C) and Residential -Three (R-3) to planned
Residential Development (PRD) with an ODP for property located at 2826 Eaton Street, for the
following reasons:
1. The proposal is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and other guiding documents;
2. The proposal meets the zone change criteria;
3. The proposed site design and scale of the proposed homes are consistent with the neighborhood;
4. All requirements for an Outline Development Plan have been met.
If you have not done so already, please remove the posting signs associated with this case from the
property. Please feel free to contact me at 303-235-2846 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Tammy Odean
Administrative Assistant

7. PUBLIC HEARING
FA. Case No. WZ-16-05: an application filed by Squareroot Construction for approval
�./ of a zone change from Residential -One C (R-1 C) and Residential -Three (R-3) to
Planned Residential Development (PRD) with an ODP for the property located at
2826 Eaton Street.
Ms. Ritchie gave a short presentation regarding the zone change process and the
application. She entered into the record the contents of the case file, packet
materials, the zoning ordinance, and the contents of the digital presentation. She
stated the public notice and posting requirements have been met, therefore the
Planning Commission has jurisdiction to hear this case.
Ms. Ritchie explained the City of Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan designates
this property as a neighborhood and currently has split zoning between R-1 C to the
North and R-3 to the South. The property consists of two homes and a large
detached garage. There was a neighborhood meeting held on November 4, 2015 in
which 12 neighbors attended and there was an in depth discussion about the
project; the project has changed slightly, but not to a great degree. There will be a
major subdivision plat which will remove the existing lot lines and reconfigure the
property to realign the property to fit the proposal. The uses in the Eaton Street
Cottages PRD zone district would allow single family dwellings, both attached and
detached, common parking areas, storage, community gardens and active and
passive recreation. The Architecture will be traditional with covered front and rear
porches and the maximum building height will be 28 feet which is lower than the
City standard of 35 feet. The site design will include 9 dwelling units with small
private yards around common courtyard with a parking area at the north end of the
site. Public improvements will include a 5 -foot attached sidewalk with bulb -outs
to define parking spaces. There were no concerns or comments from outside
agencies and staff recommends approval of the zone change.
Andrew Gibson, Squareroot Inc.
4250 Urban Street, Denver 80211
Mr. Gibson stated that he and his partners will be the developers and builders of
this property; they live in the area where they work. He explained a pocket
neighborhood is what they would like to develop and said it is built to encourage
community. Houses are built on a much smaller scale, approximately 800-1,300
sq. ft. Walkability in the neighborhood is also important to this concept. The site
will include five single family dwellings and two duplexes with covered and
uncovered parking to the north with 1.5 spaces per unit.
Commissioner BODEN asked about the evaluation process to reduce parking
issues.
Planning Commission Minutes -2—
July
2_July 21, 2016
Ms. Ritchie explained there was a trip generation study done by the applicant and
reviewed by Public Works and these homes are smaller units reducing the amount
of cars. There will also be on street parking available on Eaton Street.
Commissioner BUCKNAM asked about the 10 -foot setback for 20% of the
frontage and a 20 -foot setback for the remainder and wondered where the 10 -foot
setbacks will occur.
Mr. Gibson stated the 10 -foot setbacks will be the portions of lot 1, 3 and 5.
Portions of those houses are less than 20 -feet from the setback.
Commissioner BUCKNAM wanted to know the theory around the parking pockets.
Mr. Gibson explained the pockets help with neighborhood traffic calming and they
also define the neighborhood.
Commissioner KIMSEY asked about the location of the community gardens and
the fence line on Eaton Street.
Mr. Gibson stated the landscaping plan has not been detailed yet, but the gardens
will either be in the southwest corner of the property, north between the houses and
parking area or part of the shared common area. The fence on Eaton Street will be
on the property line and will be a 4 -foot picket fence.
Chair WEAVER wanted to know why the parking on the north side as opposed to
the south side.
Mr. Gibson explained there is a possibility of putting solar panels on top of the car
ports and this would work better on the north end of the property.
Janet Ryan
2825 Depew Street
Ms. Ryan stated she is concerned about the back side of the project, the impacts on
her fence during construction and if the powerlines that are currently above ground
will be moved underground and if this will affect her. She also likes the parking on
the north side of property.
Steve Pflug
2845 Eaton Street
Mr. Pflug is concerned with the street bulb out and wonders if it is going to take
away from on street parking.

Planning Commission Minutes -3—

2809 Eaton Street
Ms. McNamee commented that there are garages on the back sides of the homes on
west side of Eaton Street.
Joe Woods
2875 Depew Street
Mr. Woods stated he really likes the idea of this neighborhood and wondered what
the height limit will be.
Mr. Gibson explained that it is Squareroot's intent is to be good neighbors and will
give adjacent homeowners the phone number to the property manager if there are
any comments or concerns. He explained there should be nothing done to Ms.
Ryan's fence during constructions. He also explained that all the power to the
property will be underground; this will come from the upper powerlines, but should
not affect adjacent property owners.
Mark Davis, Squareroot
8319 Cole Street
Mr. Davis explained that Xcel will work with Synergetic Design to determine how
the power lines will go underground; it is usually done through a pedestal. If they
think adjacent neighbors' powerlines should go underground as well then
Synergetic Design will contact the property owner.
Mr. Gibson then explained the bulb outs on the street and said yes there will be a
few on street parking spaces lost.
Ms. Ritchie added that the City is not to the point yet of looking at street design,
but all the pros and cons of bulb outs will be taken into consideration.
Commissioner BUCKNAM sees one curb cut for the parking lot and wondered
how many curb cuts exist now.
Mr. Gibson said there is one large curb cut currently.
Commissioner BUCKNAM asked if there is additional parking other than the
carports on the north end of the property.
Ms. Ritchie state there are 8-9 spaces covered in the carport and an additional 5
parallel spaces in the parking area.
Mr. Gibson stated the maximum height limit of the homes will be 28 -feet. The
tallest house will be about 25 -feet tall and the ranch units will be no taller than 15 -
feet in height. The homes are modeled after 1 '/2 story Victorians.
Planning Commission Minutes -4—
July
4_July 21, 2016
Chair WEAVER asked how neighbors can stay informed about the development.
Ms. Richie stated letters will be sent out when cases related to the property go to
City Council and other Planning Commission meetings. Also, they can call staff in
Community Development at any time.
The Commissioners all agreed that they like the ODP and think it is a great plan,
reminding some of the 30's and 40's era and the way Denver use to be.
It was moved by Commissioner BUCKNAM and seconded by Commissioner
KIMSEY to recommend APPROVAL of case No. WZ-16-05, a request for
approval of a zone change from Residential One -C (R -1C) and Residential
Three (R-3) to Planned Residential Development (PCD) with an Outline
Development Plan for property located at 2826 Eaton Street, for the following
reasons:
1. The proposal is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and
other guiding documents;
2. The proposal meets the zone change criteria;
3. The proposed site design and scale of the proposed homes are
consistent with the neighborhood;
4. All requirements for an Outline Development Plan have been met.
�rMotion carried 5-0.
8. STUDY SESSION
A. Residential Development Standards
Mr. Wallace gave a brief introduction about redevelopment and infill projects in
the city and how they relate to the neighboring communities. The City has
received numerous calls regarding setbacks and height requirements with regards
to new development. In 1969 when the City of Wheat Ridge was incorporated the
35 -foot height maximum requirement, in residential zone districts, was adopted.
This maximum height allowance remains unaltered to this day. Due to the calls
received regarding development standards and the new development, the
Community Development Department found it appropriate to research neighboring
jurisdiction's development standards to utilize as a starting point in assessing our
own development standards. Mr. Wallace stated that the City's setback
requirements are generally in line with the neighboring communities with the
exception for the rear yard setback in the R -1C zone district; it is 5 -feet compared
to 8 to 15 feet in other cities. Mr. Wallace then explained that height requirements
are a little more complex. The City is in line with most of our neighboring
communities which have 30-35 height requirements, but out of line compared to
other communities because there are no additional height standards to limit the
massing of structures.

1 C) and Residential -Three (R-3) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) with an Outline
Development Plan for property located at 2826 Eaton Street (Case No. WZ-16-05/Eaton Street
Cottages)
The application for a zone change with an Outline Development Plan is the first step in redevelopment of the
site. Following review of a Specific Development Plan by the Planning Commission construction of nine residential units
is planned.
Councilmember Monica Duran introduced Council Bill No. 15-2016.
Clerk Shaver assigned Ordinance number 1606.
Mayor Jay opened the public hearing and swore in the speakers.
Staff presentation
Lisa Ritchie gave the staff presentation. She entered into the record the case file, the zoning ordinance, the
comprehensive plan and contents of the digital presentation. She testified that all notification, publication and posting
requirements have been met.
• The request is for the rezoning of 10 narrow lots to allow for the construction of nine
cottages. Existing houses would be demolished.
• Various pictures of the property were displayed.
• The neighborhood meeting was held.
• Planning Commission recommends approval of the Outline Development Plan.
• A Specific Development Plan will have final approval from Planning Commission.
• A subdivision plat would be reviewed by Planning Commission and approved by City Council.
• She showed drawings from the ODP showing the character and scale of the project: nine
homes arranged around a common courtyard; parking on the north.
• Proposed are attached and detached single family homes, home occupations, pets, and
common areas.
• Some architectural standards: traditional, covered front & rear porches, lap siding
• The maximum building height proposed is 28 feet (less than the 35 feet allowed).
• Max building coverage will be 43% (slightly higher than allowed in existing zoning)
• Front setbacks to be 10 feet on no more than 22% of the frontage, and 20 feet for the
remainder. Portions of the home will extend further into the front setback. Distance between
the property line and the current street is roughly 15 feet.
• Side and rear setbacks to be 10 feet (existing zoning allows 5 feet)
• Private and public areas, common parking area. No garages proposed.
• Pedestrian access from the parking area and from a point on the southern end
• Public improvements include 6 foot attached sidewalks with bulb -outs to define parking areas
• Landscaping plan will come with the final SDP. Effort will be made to keep the large pine tree.
• There will be a common garden space
• Homes fronting Eaton Street will orient to the street and the internal common area
• Home will have an open and a closed side to provide both privacy and interaction.
• Ms. Ritchie read form the code of ethics and evaluation of codes for a PRD.
• All agencies can serve the development.
Applicant
Andrew Gibson of Squareroot Construction introduced partners Mark O'Brian and Mark Davis. They are the owners,
developers and builders; they are a local company based in north Denver; they live where they work.
• He explained why they think this is a good alternative for infill development.
• New construction in the neighborhood is out of scale, has architecture inconsistent with the
neighborhood, and is expensive.
• A pocket neighborhood builds community.
• The houses are small, 800 — 1300 sf.
• There will be layered spaces. Land close to houses is more private. Further out is a courtyard
area for common use. Each cottage will have a small back yard (some privacy).
• The development is close to 29th & Eaton and is a good place for walkability.
Council questions
Councilmember Mathews inquired of Mr. Gibson:
• Parking spaces? 1.5 spaces per unit; 14 spaces
• Ownership vs rental? Hasn't been decided yet.
• Fencing? There will be 6 ft privacy fences on the three exterior sides of the property and short
3 ft fences for the yards.
Mr. Mathews expressed concern there is inadequate parking and no parking for visitors.
Councilmember Duran asked about the solar panels for the carport. Mr. Gibson said they are still researching it. He also
confirmed that the car ports are 22 ft tall and the community storage shed will be 16 ft tall.
Councilmember Wooden inquired about the selling price. Mr. Gibson said it would be market price — hopefully less than
$400K, but they're not sure
Councilmember Mathews asked if there will be any basements. Mr. Gibson testified that the area is very flat so they will
likely have to raise the houses for drainage. They aren't sure yet, but it will probably have crawl spaces.
There was no public comment.
Mayor Jay closed the public hearing

ISSUE:
This application is for approval of a zone change from Residential -One C (R -1C) and
Residential -Three (R-3) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) with an Outline
Development Plan for property located at 2826 Eaton Street.
Planned development zoning is the first step of the process for approval for redevelopment of
this site. If approved, the applicants would also need to apply for a Specific Development Plan,
which would be reviewed by the Planning Commission. The purpose of the request is to allow
the construction of nine dwelling units.
PRIOR ACTION:
The Planning Commission heard this request at a public hearing on July 21, 2016. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the zone change to PRD with an ODP. The staff report,
minutes of the meeting and final recommendation by the Planning Commission are provided as
attachments.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Fees in the amount of $1,115 were collected for the processing of Case No. WZ-16-05.
BACKGROUND:
Subject Property
The property is located in southeast Wheat Ridge. It is located mid -block between 28th Avenue and
20 Avenue on east side of Eaton Street. The site consists of ten 25 -foot wide lots across two parcels,
all with the address 2826 Eaton Street. The site currently houses a single-family home, carriage
house, and detached garage. The three structures are located in the southern portion of the lot. The
northern portion of the lot is vacant. According to the Jefferson County Accessor, the house and
carriage house were built in 1941, and the garage was built in 1949.
Surrounding Land Uses
The site is surrounded predominantly by residential uses, with a mix of residential zone districts; R-
TC, R-2, and R-3 zone districts. There is also some commercially zoned (C-1) property along 29th
Avenue with neighborhood -serving commercial businesses. The surrounding land uses are fairly
consistent with the zoning designations. Single-family homes are predominant in the entire area, with
some multi -family housing units present, generally located along 28th Avenue, south of the subject
site.
Current and Proposed Zoning
The subject property is currently zoned R -1C and R-3, both residential zoning districts. The R -1C
district allows for medium -density, small lot, single-family residential, while R-3 allows for medium
density multi -family residential neighborhoods.
The applicants, Squareroot Cottages, LLC, have proposed a PRD for a "pocket neighborhood"
concept, which would accommodate five single-family dwelling units and two, two-family units on
the site for a total of nine units. The one-story and one and a half -story homes would be oriented
around a common courtyard in the center of the site. The site is designed to accommodate both
common open area and small private yards that will be separated by fences. The common area will
include both a covered parking area and an uncovered parking area and drive aisle, a common
storage shed, and a common courtyard area. The homes are not proposed to include garages, and all
on-site parking is proposed to be on the northern end of the site.
Allowable Uses
The proposed uses are limited to single- and two-family dwellings, home occupations, household
pets and common area uses including parking, courtyard open space, storage, community garden,
and active and passive recreation.
Lot Size, Setbacks, Lot Coverage and Height
Lot sizes proposed are a minimum of 1,850 square feet. Specific lot sizes are not included on the
ODP document. Small lots are proposed for the home sites, with a large common area for shared
use by the residents.
Building footprints are shown, along with minimum setbacks. The proposed front setback
(Eaton Street) has two standards. Up to 22% of the frontage has a 10 -foot minimum setback, and
the remainder has a 20 -foot setback. It should be noted that there is roughly 15 feet between the
Council Action Form — Zone Change for 2826 Eaton Street
September 12, 2016
Page 3
existing edge of street pavement and the front property line. Side (north and south) and rear
(east) setbacks for the homes are proposed to be 10 feet, and 6 feet for the accessory structures.
The maximum building coverage is proposed to be 43%, which is slightly greater than the
current zone district requirement, which is 40% for both R -1C and R-3.
The maximum height for homes is proposed to be 28 feet, which is less than the current zone
district allowance of 35 feet. The proposed height for the carport is a maximum of 22 feet, and
16 feet for the storage shed.
Access and Parking
The ODP proposes a common parking area on the northern end of the site that will include both
covered and uncovered parking. The applicant intends for the HOA to manage and maintain the
parking, with some dedicated spots for each unit, and some that are non -dedicated for use by
visitors and guests. The applicants are proposing a smaller parking ratio than what is typically
required in the code. The smaller unit sizes, availability of on -street parking along Eaton Street,
and relative walkability of the area are the primary reasons for this request. Approximately
seven to nine on -street parking spaces could be available, depending on final streetscape design.
Homesite Configuration
The ODP proposes to orient the homes around a common courtyard that may contain shared
amenities, such as an outdoor fireplace and community gardens. This area will be owned and
maintained by the HOA. Each home will be located on its own lot, and will likely be fenced in
to separate the private yards from the common areas. The homes that front Eaton Street will be
designed to not appear closed off to the street; rather they will have porches and architectural
features that are oriented toward both the street and the interior courtyard.
Drainage and Public Improvements
The ODP proposes multiple drainage areas on the site, comprised of smaller areas between the
carport and the homes, and a larger area on the southwestern corner of the site. The proposed
streetscape will comply with the Streetscape Design Manual, and will include a new, attached
sidewalk. To further define the parking areas, the applicant proposes bulb -outs at the parking
area entry and near an existing large evergreen on the site.
Proposed Density and Relationship to Surrounding Area
The proposed density for the project is 12.6 dwelling units (du's) per acre. The existing
neighborhood currently contains a mix of residential densities. The property immediately to the
south contains a two-story multi -family building with 10 units and a density of 22.3 du's per
acre. There are nine single-family homes along the west side of Eaton Street between 28th and
29th Avenues with an average density of 6.5 du's per acre. If the ODP were to be approved, the
average du's per acre for the east side of Eaton Street between 28th and 29th Avenues would be
13.5. Beyond this block, mixed densities continue, with additional two-story multi -family
buildings and single-family development.
The project proposes a scale and mass for the homes that is consistent with the smaller existing
homes along Eaton Street. Staff believes that the proposed density is consistent with the area. In
Council Action Form — Zone Change for 2826 Eaton Street
September 12, 2016
Page 4
addition, the proposed homes are roughly 800 -square -feet and 1,300 -square -feet, which is
consistent with the smaller existing homes in the area and will not have the same impact on the
neighborhood as larger homes.
Architecture
The applicant has provided renderings in the ODP of the proposed cottage -style architecture with
homes that are one and one -and -one-half story in height. Details include covered front and rear
porches, and materials will primarily include painted lap siding. Additional architecture will be
required and reviewed at the time of the SDP.
Referral
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.
ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA:
Staff and Planning Commission reviewed the application and found it consistent with the
criteria for a zone change in Section 26-112 E. A detailed analysis is found in the
Planning Commission staff report as an attachment. Staff and Planning Commission
recommend approval of the zone change to Planned Residential Development and the
Outline Development Plan
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill No. 15-2016, an ordinance approving a zone change
from Residential -One C (R -1C) and Residential -Three (R-3) to Planned Residential
Development (PRD) with an Outline Development Plan for property located at 2826

I. REQUEST
Case No. WZ-16-05 is an application for approval of a zone change from Residential -One C (R-
CC) and Residential -Three (R-3) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) and an Outline
Development Plan (ODP) for property located at 2826 Eaton Street. The purpose of the request
is to permit development of a 9 single and two-family cottage styles homes around a common
courtyard.
The City's planned development approval is a two-step process. The first step is for the zone
change to PRD and an approval of an 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. Should the zone
change and ODP be approved, the second step is approval of a Specific Development Plan (SDP)
which focuses on the details of the development such as final drainage, street improvements,
architecture and final lot layouts. A subdivision plat will be required as well.
The applicant is requesting a two-step approval, which is permitted in the code pursuant to Sec.
26-302. The first process for the ODP approval requires a public hearing in front of both
Planning Commission and the City Council. If the zone change and ODP are approved, a future
second application for an SDP is reviewed and approved by Planning Commission only, with no
hearings before City Council. (Exhibit 1, Applicant Letter)
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY
The property is located in southeast Wheat Ridge. It is located mid -block between 28`h Avenue and
291h Avenue on Eaton Street. The site consists of ten (10) 25 feet wide lots across two (2) parcels, all
with the address 2826 Eaton Street. The site currently houses a single-family home, carriage house,
and detached garage. The three structures are located in the southern portion of the lot. The northern
portion of the lot is vacant. According to the Jefferson County Accessor, the house and carriage
house were built in 1941, and the garage was built in 1949.
The subject property is currently zoned R -1C and R-3, both residential zoning districts. The R -1C
district allows for medium -density single-family residential, while R-3 allows for medium density
multi -family residential neighborhoods. The site is surrounded predominantly by residential uses,
with a mix of R -1C, R-2, and R-3 zone districts. There is also some commercially zoned (C-1)
property along 29th Avenue with neighborhood serving commercial businesses. The surrounding land
uses are fairly consistent with the zoning designations. Single-family homes are predominate in the
entire area, with some multi -family housing units present, generally located along 281h Avenue, south
of the subject site. (Exhibit 2, Zoning Map, Exhibit 3, Aerial Photo, Exhibit 4, Site Photos)
III. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Attached is a copy of the proposed Outline Development Plan which contains four sheets. The
ODP is a zoning document that will establish allowed uses and development standards for the
property. The ODP also contains a general concept plan which includes a conceptual site layout,
proposed lots, building footprints and general architectural themes. (Exhibit 5, Reduced copy of
ODP document)
Planning Commission 2
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
The applicants, Squareroot Construction, have proposed a `pocket neighborhood' concept, which
would accommodate five (5) single-family dwelling units and two (2) two-family units on the site for
a total of nine (9) units. The 1 story and 1 '/2 story homes would be oriented around a common
courtyard in the center of the site. The site is designed to accommodate both common open area and
small private yards that will be separated by fences. The common area will include both a covered
parking area and an uncovered parking area and drive aisle, a common storage shed, and a common
courtyard area. The homes are not proposed to include garages, and all on-site parking is proposed to
be on the northern end of the site.
Allowable Uses
The property is currently zoned R-1 C and R-3. The portion zoned R-1 C allows for the City's
smallest lot single-family dwellings, foster care homes, governmental buildings and group homes.
R-3 allows single-, two-, and multi -family dwellings. The proposed uses are limited to single- and
two-family dwellings, home occupations, household pets, and common area uses include parking,
courtyard open space, storage, community garden, and active and passive recreation.
Lot Size, Setbacks, Lot Coverage and Height
Lot sizes proposed are a minimum of 1,850 square feet. Specific lot sizes are not included on the
ODP document. Small lots are proposed for the home sites, with a large common area for shared use
by the residents.
Building footprints are shown, along with minimum setbacks. The proposed front setback (Eaton
Street) has two standards. Up to 22% of the frontage has a 10 foot minimum setback, and the
remainder has a 20 foot setback. It should be noted that there is roughly 15 feet between the existing
edge of street pavement and the front property line. Side (north and south) and rear (east) setbacks
for the homes are proposed to be 10 feet, and 6 feet for the accessory structures.
The maximum building coverage is proposed to be 43%, which is slightly greater than the current
zone district requirement is 40% for both R -1C and R-3.
The maximum height for homes is proposed to be 28 feet, which is less than the current zone district
allowance of 35 feet. The proposed height for the carport is a maximum of 22 feet, and 16 feet for
the storage shed.
Access and Parking
The ODP proposes a common parking area on the northern end of the site that will include both
covered and uncovered parking. The applicant intends that the HOA will manage and maintain
the parking, with some dedicated spots for each unit, and some that are non -dedicated for use by
visitors and guests. The applicants are proposing a reduced parking ratio than what is typically

to separate the private yards from the common areas. The homes that front Eaton Street will be
designed to not appear closed off to the street; rather they will have porches and architectural

Drainage and Public Improvements
The ODP proposes multiple drainage areas on the site, comprised of smaller areas between the

average du's per acre for the east side of Eaton Street between 28th and 291h Avenues would be
13.5. Beyond this block, mixed densities continue, with additional two-story multi -family

The project proposes a scale and mass for the homes that is consistent with the smaller existing

IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA
The zone change and ODP application require analysis relative to the zone change criteria
outlined in Section 26-112 E. Staff provides the following analysis:
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 will not result in adverse effects on the surrounding area. Portions of the
property are currently vacant and the proposed plan is consistent with the neighborhood and
will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area. The new homes should
have a positive impact on the neighborhood both aesthetically and from a property value
perspective.
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 a provide such where they do not exist or
are under capacity.
All responding agencies have indicated they can serve the property with improvements
installed at the developers' expense. Should the zone change be approved, a more detailed
review will occur at the time of the Specific Development Plan.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
3. At least one 1 of the following conditions exists:
Planning Commission 5
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
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.
Excerpt from Envision Wheat Ridge Structure Plan
Envision Wheat Ridge, the City's 2009 Comprehensive Plan, identifies this area as
Neighborhood, which is a designation for areas to be the places for people to own homes and
thrive and where residents of all ages can live safely and comfortably. The plan includes the
following goals for the Neighborhood designation associated with this location:
1. Maintain and enhance the quality and character of Wheat Ridge's established
neighborhoods.
2. Increase housing options.
3. Increase investment and stability in Neighborhood Revitalization Areas.
The proposal provides homes with a compatible scale and style for new homes in an
established neighborhood. Under the current code, the applicants could construct large
homes up to thirty five feet tall in a style that is architecturally different than the existing
context. Rather than taking this approach to maximize their investment in the property, they
are proposing homes that are similar in scale and style to the surrounding area. This proposal
will maintain the current architectural character while enhancing the neighborhood through
the investment in the property.
Planning Commission 6
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
The proposal also provides an increase in housing options for the City. The applicants
envision a pocket neighborhood with a design that encourages interaction between the
residents. In addition, it is anticipated that potential owners will understand that parking
provided is less than a typical single-family home. This type of development has been
constructed in areas throughout the United States and has proven to be desired by some.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning map of
the City of Wheat Ridge is in error.
Staff has not found any evidence of an error with the current R-1 C and R-3 designations as they
appear on the City's zoning map.
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.
There is evidence of some residential redevelopment pressure in the surrounding area. Over the
past few years, a number of land use applications and building permits have been sought by
homeowners and developers to remodel, scrape and rebuild, or develop vacant land for
residential use in the area. If this application is not approved, the applicants indicate that they
would likely build fewer, but larger, single- and two-family homes under the current zoning.
The proposal is for a unique development type that the current zone district regulations do not
contemplate, but may be more appropriate and compatible with 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 a zone change support this request.
V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
The required pre -application meeting for neighborhood input was held on November 4, 2015.
There were approximately 12 members of the public in attendance. (Exhibit 6, Neighborhood
Meeting Notes)

VI. AGENCY REFERRAL
All affected service agencies were contacted for comment on the zone change request and the
ODP regarding the ability to serve the property. Specific referral responses follow:
West Metro Fire Protection District: No concerns with the proposal.
Wheat Ridge Water District: No comments.
Wheat Ridge Public Works: No concerns at this time. The applicant is continuing to work
with Public Works to finalize their drainage plan and traffic studies.
Wheat Ridge Sanitation District: No objections with the proposal.
Xcel Energy: No concerns.
Wheat Ridge Police Department: No concerns with the proposal.
VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that the proposed Planned Residential Development zoning and accompanying
Outline Development Plan are consistent with the goals and policies of the City's guiding
documents, including Envision Wheat Ridge. In Sec. 26-301.C. of the code, the purpose of a
planned development is discussed and includes the following:
1. To accommodate extraordinary or unique development proposals that are not feasible
under standard zone districts.
- This proposal could not be accommodated through the existing zoning on the
property due to its unique configuration of home sites around a common courtyard
and consolidated parking area.
2. To accomplish compatible development with adjacent commercial, residential and/or
industrial land uses through proper land use transitions and buffering techniques.
- While the existing zoning could result in compatible development, the planned
development process requires that this be taken into consideration for each unique
site.
3. To promote flexibility in design and permit diversification in the location of structures.
- The planned development process for this project would result in a site with
structures not in typical configuration for single- and two-family homes through a
flexible approach to design.
4. To promote the efficient use of land to facilitate a more economic arrangement of
building, circulation systems, land use and utilities.
- This project proposes a drainage plan and parking area that is consolidated and
efficient for the site.
5. To preserve to the greatest extent possible, the existing landscape features and to
minimize impacts on other natural features of the site.
- It is the intent of the applicant to save the large existing evergreen on the site.
Planning Commission g
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
6. To combine and coordinate architectural styles, building forms and building relationships
within the planned developments.
- The planned development process will result in a project that has considered an
appropriate architectural style for the area, and how the buildings and site
configuration will impact the social lives of the residents and surrounding area.
7. To promote conformance with the adopted comprehensive plan, established policies and
guidelines for the area and for the community.
- As provided in the analysis above, the planned development process would result in a
project in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Neighborhood
Revitalization Strategy.
Staff further concludes that the proposal provides a housing option that is not currently available
within the City of Wheat Ridge. The style and scale of the proposed housing is consistent with
the existing area and more appropriate than larger single-family or two-family homes. The
neighborhood is relatively walkable and a reduced parking requirement should not cause harm to
the surrounding area, particularly when factoring in available adjacent on -street parking.
Because the proposed zoning and ODP meet the criteria for evaluation, a recommendation for
approval is given for Case No. WZ-16-05.
VIII. SUGGESTED MOTIONS

OVERVIEW
Eaton Street Cottages is a development of 9 homes on ala of an acre, gathered around a
shared community green space with parking clustered to the side. Each cottage has its own
private yard, surrounded by a low fence and garden gate. Fostering neighborly connections
is a keynote in the design of this development. While small by today's standards (800 to
1325 square feet), the homes will be designed to live large and be well crafted and
detailed beyond typical market homes.

Dwellings: 9 approximately 800 SF to 1325 SF
Parking spaces: 9 covered — on site (assigned)

DESIGN FOR COMMUNITY
The most significant aspect of the Eaton Street Cottages site plan is that ies designed with
the neighborhood in mind. While most subdivisions have flanks of garage doors facing the
street and homes oriented to private backyards, this is a pocket neighborhood of small
houses with large porches open to a common courtyard. There are no garage doors facing
the street_ There is only one driveway to a clustered parking area and the 1 and 11h -story
cottage homes along the street offer a friendly face to surrounding neighbors and
passersby. Parking is deliberately placed so that residents walk from their car doors to thei r
front doors through the shared commons, offering a chance to enjoy the garden and chat
with a neighbor. These informal meetings encourage casual connections to become
friendly neighbors and perhaps even long-term friendships. And when neighbors know one
another, they tend to look after each other. They care. In this day and age, this is a
valuable security.

Balancing Community and Privacy
Community can be wonderful, but too much community can be suffocating. On the other
hand, with too much privacy, a person can feel cut off from neighbors. Creating multiple
'layers of personal space' will help achieve the right balance between privacy and
community.
In the design of Eaton Street Cottages, there is a narrowed passage between the public
street and the semi-public commons, creating a sense of entry and territorial ownership.
Between the commons and the front door, there are five additional layers: a border of
shrubs and flowers at the edge of the sidewalk / a low fence / the private yard / a covered
porch with a low railing and flowerboxes / and then the front door. With this layering,
residents can feel comfortable being on the porch — enough enclosure to be private, with
enough openness to acknowledge passersby.
Layers of personal space continue on the interior of the homes. Active living spaces are
oriented toward the shared commons and the more private, personal spaces, are at the
back of the house or upstairs. Most of the cottages also have a secluded garden out the
back door to retreat to.
The house plans have three 'open' sides and one 'closed' side so that they 'nest' together,
ensuring privacy between dwellings. The open sides have windows facing the commons
and private yards, while the closed side has high windows and skylights. Through the use
of a landscape easement, the side yard of each cottage extends to the face of the
neighboring building, offering more usable garden space.
PARKING, STREET DESIGN, BICYCLES AND STORAGE
Given the relatively small size of the homes (806 and 1325 SF) and proximity to public
transit and local amenities like restaurants, retail and parks, it is anticipated than many
residents will have one car. At Eaton Street Cottages, each resident will have one
designated covered parking space, and the community has an additional five un-
designated open parking spaces for shared use. In addition, there are five on -street parking
spaces for public use.
On street parking spaces are in parking pockets. This is achieved by replacing existing road
pavement outside of the drive lanes with landscaped planting beds. This street design
calms traffic by narrowing the visual width of the street, clarifies where parking is/ is not
allowed, preserves standard drive lane widths, reduces heat island effect and softens the
appearance of the project from the street.
In addition to covered parking for cars, there is covered storage space for resident's
bicycles.
Adjacent to the covered parking is an accessory building for multiple uses: recycling and
refuse, community toolshed and storage, and individual resident storage units.
SIMPLE MATERIALS, RICH DETAIL

common — vinyl windows, painted fiber -cement siding, exposed rafter tails — there is
careful attention to detail, proportion, and scale.
A PATTERN LANGUAGE FOR EATON STREET COTTAGES
The following is a list of guiding patterns and relationships that underlie the design of this
community and its cottages.
POCKET NEIGHBORHOOD This is the basic building block for strong and vibrant communities.
Pocket neighborhoods are clustered groups of homes gathered around a shared open space such
as a garden courtyard or pedestrian street. Pocket Neighborhoods are sized around the scale of
sociability— 4 to 12 nearby neighbors who relate on a daily basis.
COMMONS AT THE HEART The shared open space is a key element of a pocket neighborhood. It
is an intermediate zone between private dwellings (home, yard) and public space (street, park).
Residents surrounding this space share in its care and oversight, thereby enhancing a felt and
actual sense of security and identity. Because of its location and design, this space fosters casual
interaction among neighbors, which, in time, can grow into caring friendships and a meaningful
sense of community.
LAYERS OF PERSONAL SPACE just outside the front door of a home is a zone of space that is both
private and public. Left undefined, a person is apt to feel exposed. Too enclosed, a person will
feel cut off from neighbors. Finding the right balance is the key to cultivating community.
A pocket neighborhood may have several layers of personal space that are clearly defined
transitions from private to public: closest in may be a covered front porch with a low railing and
a band of flowerboxes, then a small private yard with a low fence, a border of shrubs and flowers
at the edge of the commons walk.
ACTIVE ROOMS FORWARD, PRIVATE ROOMS BACK AND ABOVE Layers of Personal Space
continue on the interior of the homes, too: the more active living spaces are toward the shared
commons; the more private, personal spaces are toward the back of the house and upstairs.
NESTED HOUSES Having a neighboring house peering into one's private living space can be
uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Therefore, design houses with three 'open' sides and one
'closed' side so that neighboring houses 'nest' together with no window looking into a neighbor's
living space. High windows and skylights on the closed side can bring in ample light. Variations
on this can work for attached dwellings.
FULL -USE SIDE YARDS Achieve this with "landscape easements" allowing use to face of
neighboring building.
SECLUDED OUDOOR SPACE Sometimes, having a secluded garden is just what is needed to
recharge a busy life. Locate this space at the rear of the dwelling, or on a roof terrace for the
most privacy.
PLACE FOR PLANTING Most people find satisfaction being able to work with the soil and grow
plants; so include some private ground space for each dwelling: a small yard, a planting bed, or
even flowerboxes. Locate at least some of the private garden in view of the shared common
area — it will be a personal touch that contributes to the character of the commons, as well as a
way of fostering connections with neighbors.
FRONT PORCH A living -sized front porch is perhaps the key element in fostering neighborly
connections. While it gives charm to a house, it should not be a "faux" porch appliqu6d just for
looks. A good porch functions as an outdoor living room, whether for reading a book, gathering
for a midsummer supper, or lingering in conversation with several friends. Locate it within sight
and sound of the pedestrian public space.
EYES ON PUBLIC SPACE The first line of defense for personal security is a strong network of
Eaton Street Cottages Narrative page 3 of 4
Planning Commission 12
WZ-16-05 – Eaton Street Cottages
neighbors who know and care for one another; but they need to see who is coming and going to
be effective. Therefore, locate active interior spaces with a view to the courtyard, lane or street.
This can also be helpful to keep an eye out for young children in the commons, and to be
watchful for personal emergencies.
ENUF STORAGE Make sure households have enough storage space. Small is beautiful, but it can
get cluttered if there's not room for the residual stuff of life: suitcases, holiday ornaments, old
photo albums, turkey pans, snow tires, bicycles, camping gear, hand tools, and what not.
Storage places inside the house can be closets, cubbies, cabinets, shelves and attics; Outside
storage may be served in a dedicated building.
CORRAL THE CAR Cars are essential for many people, but that doesn't mean they need to
dominate the pedestrian space. Start first by locating parking to be a good neighbor; don't have
garage doors greeting guests! Instead of streets with wide driveways and garage doors, create
access lanes for parking and services at the rear of the house.
REMOTE PARKING When residents walk from the car door to the front door through the shared
commons, they have more opportunities to say "hello" to a neighbor along the way, or just
enjoy the garden. Remote parking can also allow more flexible use of a site and decrease the
amount of hard surface.
UNASSIGNED PARKING Every residence should have one assigned parking space, but more than
that can be un -assigned. This way, multiple residents may use it at different times, effectively
increasing the parking efficiency.
MAILBOX CLUSTER When mailboxes are clustered near the main entrance to the shared open
space or commons house, 'chance' meetings among neighbors are increased.
COMMUNITY BICYCLE SHELTER Bikes should not be on porches, which is where they end up
without an alternative. Build a shared bicycle shelter near the entrance for ease of use.
GARDEN SHED There is no need for every home to have a lawn mower, weed -whacker and tiller.
Build a garden shed for shared tools, as well as extra garden tables, chairs and games.
CONNECTION & CONTRIBUTION This should be the FIRST pattern to consider. When designing
any project, take note of the larger context you're building in (the block, neighboring buildings,
etc. Ask: What works well? What doesn't? Are there missing 'teeth' in the rhythm of buildings or
trees along the street? Then ask, how can this project connect and contribute to making the larger
context stronger /richer /more whole? In other words, be a good neighbor.

NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING SUMMARY
Meeting Date: November 4, 2015
Attending Staff: Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner
Lisa Ritchie, Planner II
Zack Wallace, Planning Technician
Property Address: 2826 Eaton Street
Applicant: Andrew Gibson, Mark Davis, and Mark O'Brian
Square Root Construction
PO Box 12370
Denver, CO 80212
Applicant Present?: Yes
Existing Zoning: Residential -Three (R-3) and Residential -One C (R1 -C)
Existing Comp. Plan: Neighborhood
Existing Site Conditions:
The site consists of ten (10) lots across two (2) parcels, all with the address 2826 Eaton Street.
The site currently houses a single-family home, carriage house, and detached garage. The three
structures are located in the southern portion of the lot. The northern portion of the lot remains
undeveloped. According to the Jefferson County Accessor, the house and carriage house were
built in 1941, and the garage was built in 1949.
This property is located in southeast Wheat Ridge. It is located mid -block between 28th Avenue
and 29th Avenue, on Eaton Street, five (5) blocks west of Sheridan Boulevard.
The subject property is currently zoned R -1C and R-3, both residential zoning districts. The R-
1 C district allows for small lot medium -density single-family residential, while R-3 allows for
medium- to high-density residential neighborhoods. The site is surrounded predominantly by
residential uses, with a mix of R -1C, R-2, and R-3 zone districts. There is also some
commercially zoned (C-I)property to the north along 29th Avenue with neighborhood serving
commercial businesses. The surrounding land uses are fairly consistent with the zoning
designations. Single-family homes are predominate in the entire area, with some multi -family
housing units present, generally located along/near 28th Avenue, south of the subject site.
Planning Commission 21
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal:
The applicants, Square Root Construction, have proposed a `cottage court' concept, which would
accommodate eight (8) single-family dwelling units surrounding a center courtyard on the site.
Each of the housing units would have a building footprint measuring roughly 30' x 20' and offer
approximately 1,100 square feet of living space. The current site plan indicates the inclusion of a
parking area on the northern and southern ends of the property. A looped pedestrian path creates
a large open space between the homes, to be used as a common area.
According to the applicants, houses would be owner -occupied, with the rest of the land area
designated as common area. A homeowners association (HOA) would be in place for the
maintenance of the common area landscaping, parking and snow removal, as well as any
maintenance of storm water detention and/or water quality facilities.
The applicants favor this particular location because their `cottage court' proposal is contextually
sensitive to the existing neighborhood character. The area also provides walkable commercial
and recreational opportunities, which fits their development mindset.
The applicants acknowledge that their site plan will likely be revised following feedback from
community development staff and other professional opinions. They have been in contact with
The Cottage Company, based out of Seattle, which has built several cottage communities of this
type in Washington, to work out more specific details of a revised site plan. At this time, the
applicants are primarily interested in initial feedback from staff and will likely hold a
neighborhood meeting to obtain feedback from the neighbors.
If they ultimately acquire the property and the proposal for the cottage unit development is not
approved by City Council, or meets heavy opposition by residents, the applicants indicated they
may construct single-family homes that comply with the existing zone district standards.
Attendance from the neighborhood:
Twelve people from the neighborhood attended the meeting; see attached sign-up sheet.
The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
• Staff explained the site conditions, zoning in the neighborhood, and the reason for the
rezone to Planned Residential Development request.
• The applicant explained the development proposal.
• The attendees were informed of the process for a rezoning to Planned Residential
Development.
The following issues were discussed regarding the application:
What happens if the HOA is ineffective or doesn't provide property maintenance?
• The applicant is aware that sometimes small HOA's have this challenge. They are in
discussions with management companies that combine providers for these types of small
HOAs in order to gain efficiency of service.
Planning Commission 22
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
How will the applicants prevent homeless people from gathering in the common area?
• The applicant feels the site design will discourage this, with houses oriented toward the
common area. Other neighbors on the block are not concerned with this happening in
this particular location.
Will these be owner -occupied units?
• The applicants intend to sell all units to owner occupants. Whether or not the buyer rents
them out is not in their control.
What is the duration of the construction timeframe?
• The applicants intend to construct all units at the same time, approximately in a 9-12
month timeframe.
Is there a reason the applicant is not proposing 4 standard homes?
• The applicant feels this design concept is more appropriate for this area. Any traditional
single family homes built would likely be large and out of character with the surrounding
area.
What will the price range be?
• The applicants desire these to be affordable homes, however they will be market driven.
They are unsure at this time, as site development costs are not finalized and there are few
comps for this product type.
How is this similar to Yukon Grove?
Yukon Grove, near 32nd Avenue and Wadsworth Blvd, are semi -custom homes with
attached two -car garages. The homes are bigger, and the site had a lot of public
improvements required.
What public improvements will be required for this project?
• The applicants will finish the curb, gutter and sidewalk for the entire length of the
property. They will also provide drainage facilities, yet to be determined.
Is there a plume of gas on this property?
• Due to a leaking underground gas tank at 29th Avenue and Fenton Street, some
properties in the area have an underground gas plume. There are monitoring wells
throughout the area and the applicants are working with an environmental engineer to
determine the scope of the issue on the property. They have completed a Phase I
Environmental Assessment and the results do not identify any areas ofgreat concern.
What if the property is rezoned and then the applicant walks away?
• If that happens, another applicant could complete the projector rezone it again.
What will the parking requirement be?
• The starting point for the parking requirement will be what is defined in the code, 2 off-
street spaces per unit. Staff will work with the applicant to ensure adequate parking is
provided.
Planning Commission 23
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
What will the setbacks be?
• The starting point for determining setbacks will be typical residential setbacks in the
area. Staff will work with the applicant to ensure adequate setbacks are provided.
How can the applicants construct public improvements and still provide affordable units?
• The cost of the homes will be market driven, to include all associated development costs.
The final price point is still to be determined.
This particular neighborhood is very hodge-podge. It would be nice to see a proposal that
relates better to the neighborhood.
• The applicants feel this proposal relates very well to the neighborhood.
How tall will the homes be?
• The applicants intend to construct 1 1/2 to 2 -story homes, likely.
No written correspondence was received regarding the meeting.

7. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Case No. WZ-16-05: an application filed by Squareroot Construction for approval
of a zone change from Residential -One C (R-1 C) and Residential -Three (R-3) to
Planned Residential Development (PRD) with an ODP for the property located at
2826 Eaton Street.
Ms. Ritchie gave a short presentation regarding the zone change process and the
application. She entered into the record the contents of the case file, packet
materials, the zoning ordinance, and the contents of the digital presentation. She
stated the public notice and posting requirements have been met, therefore the
Planning Commission has jurisdiction to hear this case.
Ms. Ritchie explained the City of Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan designates
this property as a neighborhood and currently has split zoning between R-1 C to the
North and R-3 to the South. The property consists of two homes and a large
detached garage. There was a neighborhood meeting held on November 4, 2015 in
which 12 neighbors attended and there was an in depth discussion about the
project; the project has changed slightly, but not to a great degree. There will be a
major subdivision plat which will remove the existing lot lines and reconfigure the
property to realign the property to fit the proposal. The uses in the Eaton Street
Cottages PRD zone district would allow single family dwellings, both attached and
detached, common parking areas, storage, community gardens and active and
passive recreation. The Architecture will be traditional with covered front and rear
porches and the maximum building height will be 28 feet which is lower than the
City standard of 35 feet. The site design will include 9 dwelling units with small
private yards around common courtyard with a parking area at the north end of the
site. Public improvements will include a 5 -foot attached sidewalk with bulb -outs
to define parking spaces. There were no concerns or comments from outside
agencies and staff recommends approval of the zone change.
Andrew Gibson, Squareroot Inc.
4250 Urban Street, Denver 80211
Mr. Gibson stated that he and his partners will be the developers and builders of
this property; they live in the area where they work. He explained a pocket
neighborhood is what they would like to develop and said it is built to encourage
community. Houses are built on a much smaller scale, approximately 800-1,300
sq. ft. Walkability in the neighborhood is also important to this concept. The site
will include five single family dwellings and two duplexes with covered and
uncovered parking to the north with 1.5 spaces per unit.
Commissioner BODEN asked about the evaluation process to reduce parking
issues.
Planning Commission Minutes -2—
July
2_July 21, 2016
Ms. Ritchie explained there was a trip generation study done by the applicant and
reviewed by Public Works and these homes are smaller units reducing the amount
of cars. There will also be on street parking available on Eaton Street.
Commissioner BUCKNAM asked about the 10 -foot setback for 20% of the
frontage and a 20 -foot setback for the remainder and wondered where the 10 -foot
setbacks will occur.
Mr. Gibson stated the 10 -foot setbacks will be the portions of lot 1, 3 and 5.
Portions of those houses are less than 20 -feet from the setback.
Commissioner BUCKNAM wanted to know the theory around the parking pockets.
Mr. Gibson explained the pockets help with neighborhood traffic calming and they
also define the neighborhood.
Commissioner KIMSEY asked about the location of the community gardens and
the fence line on Eaton Street.
Mr. Gibson stated the landscaping plan has not been detailed yet, but the gardens
will either be in the southwest corner of the property, north between the houses and
parking area or part of the shared common area. The fence on Eaton Street will be
on the property line and will be a 4 -foot picket fence.
Chair WEAVER wanted to know why the parking on the north side as opposed to
the south side.
Mr. Gibson explained there is a possibility of putting solar panels on top of the car
ports and this would work better on the north end of the property.
Janet Ryan
2825 Depew Street
Ms. Ryan stated she is concerned about the back side of the project, the impacts on
her fence during construction and if the powerlines that are currently above ground
will be moved underground and if this will affect her. She also likes the parking on
the north side of property.
Steve Pflug
2845 Eaton Street
Mr. Pflug is concerned with the street bulb out and wonders if it is going to take
away from on street parking.
Maryann McNamee
Planning Commission Minutes _ 3
July 21, 2016
2809 Eaton Street
Ms. McNamee commented that there are garages on the back sides of the homes on
west side of Eaton Street.
Joe Woods
2875 Depew Street
Mr. Woods stated he really likes the idea of this neighborhood and wondered what
the height limit will be.
Mr. Gibson explained that it is Squareroot's intent is to be good neighbors and will
give adjacent homeowners the phone number to the property manager if there are
any comments or concerns. He explained there should be nothing done to Ms.
Ryan's fence during constructions. He also explained that all the power to the
property will be underground; this will come from the upper powerlines, but should
not affect adjacent property owners.
Mark Davis, Squareroot
8319 Cole Street
Mr. Davis explained that Xcel will work with Synergetic Design to determine how
the power lines will go underground; it is usually done through a pedestal. If they
think adjacent neighbors' powerlines should go underground as well then
Synergetic Design will contact the property owner.
Mr. Gibson then explained the bulb outs on the street and said yes there will be a
few on street parking spaces lost.
Ms. Ritchie added that the City is not to the point yet of looking at street design,
but all the pros and cons of bulb outs will be taken into consideration.
Commissioner BUCKNAM sees one curb cut for the parking lot and wondered
how many curb cuts exist now.
Mr. Gibson said there is one large curb cut currently.
Commissioner BUCKNAM asked if there is additional parking other than the
carports on the north end of the property.
Ms. Ritchie state there are 8-9 spaces covered in the carport and an additional 5

Planning Commission Minutes -4—
July
4_July 21, 2016
Chair WEAVER asked how neighbors can stay informed about the development.
Ms. Richie stated letters will be sent out when cases related to the property go to
City Council and other Planning Commission meetings. Also, they can call staff in
Community Development at any time.
The Commissioners all agreed that they like the ODP and think it is a great plan,
reminding some of the 30's and 40's era and the way Denver use to be.
It was moved by Commissioner BUCKNAM and seconded by Commissioner
KIMSEY to recommend APPROVAL of case No. WZ-16-05, a request for
approval of a zone change from Residential One -C (R -1C) and Residential
Three (R-3) to Planned Residential Development (PCD) with an Outline
Development Plan for property located at 2826 Eaton Street, for the following
reasons:
1. The proposal is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and
other guiding documents;
2. The proposal meets the zone change criteria;
3. The proposed site design and scale of the proposed homes are
consistent with the neighborhood;
4. All requirements for an Outline Development Plan have been met.
Motion carried 5-0.
8. STUDY SESSION
A. Residential Development Standards
Mr. Wallace gave a brief introduction about redevelopment and infill projects in
the city and how they relate to the neighboring communities. The City has
received numerous calls regarding setbacks and height requirements with regards
to new development. In 1969 when the City of Wheat Ridge was incorporated the
35 -foot height maximum requirement, in residential zone districts, was adopted.
This maximum height allowance remains unaltered to this day. Due to the calls
received regarding development standards and the new development, the
Community Development Department found it appropriate to research neighboring
jurisdiction's development standards to utilize as a starting point in assessing our
own development standards. Mr. Wallace stated that the City's setback
requirements are generally in line with the neighboring communities with the
exception for the rear yard setback in the R-1 C zone district; it is 5 -feet compared
to 8 to 15 feet in other cities. Mr. Wallace then explained that height requirements
are a little more complex. The City is in line with most of our neighboring
communities which have 30-35 height requirements, but out of line compared to
other communities because there are no additional height standards to limit the
massing of structures.

ISSUE:
This application is for approval of a zone change from Residential -One C (R -1C) and Residential -
Three (R-3) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) with an Outline Development Plan for
property located at 2826 Eaton Street.
Planned development zoning is the first step in the process for approval of redevelopment of this
site. If approved, the applicants would also need to apply for a Specific Development Plan
(SDP), which would be approved by the Planning Commission. The purpose of the request is to
allow the construction of nine dwelling units.
PRIOR ACTION:
The Planning Commission heard this request at a public hearing on July 21, 2016. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the zone change to PRD with an ODP. The staff report,
minutes of the meeting and final recommendation by Planning Commission will be provided for
the public hearing on September 12, 2016.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Fees in the amount of $1,115 were collected for the processing of Case No. WZ-16-05.
BACKGROUND:
Subject Property
The property is located in southeast Wheat Ridge. It is located mid -block between 28th Avenue and
20 Avenue on Eaton Street. The site consists of ten 25 -foot -wide lots across two parcels, all with the
address of 2826 Eaton Street. The site currently houses a single-family home, carriage house, and
detached garage. The three structures are located in the southern portion of the lot. The northern
portion of the lot is vacant. According to the Jefferson County Accessor, the house and carriage
house were built in 1941, and the garage was built in 1949.
Surrounding Land Uses
The site is surrounded predominantly by residential uses, with a mix of residential zone districts; R-
TC, R-2, and R-3. There is also some commercially zoned (C-1) property along 291h Avenue with
neighborhood -serving commercial businesses. The surrounding land uses are fairly consistent with
the zoning designations. Single-family homes are predominant in the entire area, with some multi-
family housing units present, generally located along 28th Avenue, south of the subject site.
Current and Proposed Zoning
The subject property is currently zoned R -1C and R-3, both residential zoning districts. The R -1C
district allows for medium -density, small lot, single-family residential, while R-3 allows for medium
density, multi -family residential neighborhoods.
The applicants, Squareroot Cottages, LLC, have proposed a PRD for a "pocket neighborhood"
concept, which would accommodate five single-family dwelling units and two, two-family units on
the site for a total of nine units. The one-story and one -and -one -half -story homes would be oriented
around a common courtyard in the center of the site. The site is designed to accommodate both
common open area and small private yards that will be separated by fences. The common area will
include both a covered parking area and an uncovered parking area and drive aisle, a common
storage shed, and a common courtyard area. There are no plans to include garages, and all on-site
parking is proposed to be on the northern end of the site.
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.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill No. 15-2016, an ordinance approving a zone change from
Residential -One C and Residential -Three to Planned Residential Development with an Outline
Development Plan for property located at 2826 Eaton Street on first reading, order it published,
public hearing set for Monday, September 12, 2016 at 7 p.m. in City Council Chambers, and that
it take effect 15 days after final publication."

All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear
this case.
I. REQUEST
Case No. WZ-16-05 is an application for approval of a zone change from Residential -One C (R-
CC) and Residential -Three (R-3) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) and an Outline
Development Plan (ODP) for property located at 2826 Eaton Street. The purpose of the request
is to permit development of a 9 single and two-family cottage styles homes around a common
courtyard.
The City's planned development approval is a two-step process. The first step is for the zone
change to PRD and an approval of an 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. Should the zone
change and ODP be approved, the second step is approval of a Specific Development Plan (SDP)
which focuses on the details of the development such as final drainage, street improvements,
architecture and final lot layouts. A subdivision plat will be required as well.
The applicant is requesting a two-step approval, which is permitted in the code pursuant to Sec.
26-302. The first process for the ODP approval requires a public hearing in front of both
Planning Commission and the City Council. If the zone change and ODP are approved, a future
second application for an SDP is reviewed and approved by Planning Commission only, with no
hearings before City Council. (Exhibit 1, Applicant Letter)
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY
The property is located in southeast Wheat Ridge. It is located mid -block between 28`h Avenue and
291h Avenue on Eaton Street. The site consists of ten (10) 25 feet wide lots across two (2) parcels, all
with the address 2826 Eaton Street. The site currently houses a single-family home, carriage house,
and detached garage. The three structures are located in the southern portion of the lot. The northern
portion of the lot is vacant. According to the Jefferson County Accessor, the house and carriage
house were built in 1941, and the garage was built in 1949.
The subject property is currently zoned R -1C and R-3, both residential zoning districts. The R -1C
district allows for medium -density single-family residential, while R-3 allows for medium density
multi -family residential neighborhoods. The site is surrounded predominantly by residential uses,
with a mix of R -1C, R-2, and R-3 zone districts. There is also some commercially zoned (C-1)
property along 29th Avenue with neighborhood serving commercial businesses. The surrounding land
uses are fairly consistent with the zoning designations. Single-family homes are predominate in the
entire area, with some multi -family housing units present, generally located along 28`h Avenue, south
of the subject site. (Exhibit 2, Zoning Map, Exhibit 3, Aerial Photo, Exhibit 4, Site Photos)
III. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Attached is a copy of the proposed Outline Development Plan which contains four sheets. The
ODP is a zoning document that will establish allowed uses and development standards for the
property. The ODP also contains a general concept plan which includes a conceptual site layout,
proposed lots, building footprints and general architectural themes. (Exhibit 5, Reduced copy of
ODP document)
Planning Commission 2
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
The applicants, Squareroot Construction, have proposed a `pocket neighborhood' concept, which
would accommodate five (5) single-family dwelling units and two (2) two-family units on the site for
a total of nine (9) units. The 1 story and 1 '/z story homes would be oriented around a common
courtyard in the center of the site. The site is designed to accommodate both common open area and
small private yards that will be separated by fences. The common area will include both a covered
parking area and an uncovered parking area and drive aisle, a common storage shed, and a common
courtyard area. The homes are not proposed to include garages, and all on-site parking is proposed to
be on the northern end of the site.
Allowable Uses
The property is currently zoned R -1C and R-3. The portion zoned R -1C allows for the City's
smallest lot single-family dwellings, foster care homes, governmental buildings and group homes.
R-3 allows single-, two-, and multi -family dwellings. The proposed uses are limited to single- and
two-family dwellings, home occupations, household pets, and common area uses include parking,
courtyard open space, storage, community garden, and active and passive recreation.
Lot Size, Setbacks, Lot Coverage and Height
Lot sizes proposed are a minimum of 1,850 square feet. Specific lot sizes are not included on the
ODP document. Small lots are proposed for the home sites, with a large common area for shared use
by the residents.
Building footprints are shown, along with minimum setbacks. The proposed front setback (Eaton
Street) has two standards. Up to 22% of the frgntage has a 10 foot minimum setback, and the
remainder has a 20 foot setback. It should be noted that there is roughly 15 feet between the existing
edge of street pavement and the front property line. Side (north and south) and rear (east) setbacks
for the homes are proposed to be 10 feet, and 6 feet for the accessory structures.
The maximum building coverage is proposed to be 43%, which is slightly greater than the current
zone district requirement is 40% for both R -1C and R-3.
The maximum height for homes is proposed to be 28 feet, which is less than the current zone district
allowance of 35 feet. The proposed height for the carport is a maximum of 22 feet, and 16 feet for
the storage shed.
Access and Parking
The ODP proposes a common parking area on the northern end of the site that will include both
covered and uncovered parking. The applicant intends that the HOA will manage and maintain
the parking, with some dedicated spots for each unit, and some that are non -dedicated for use by
visitors and guests. The applicants are proposing a reduced parking ratio than what is typically
required in the code. The smaller unit sizes, availability of on -street parking along Eaton Street,
and relative walkability of the area are the primary reasons for this request. Approximately 7 to
9 on -street parking spaces could be available, depending on final streetscape design.
Homesite Configuration
The ODP proposes to orient the homes around a common courtyard that may contain shared
amenities, such as an outdoor fireplace and community gardens. This area will be owned and
maintained by the HOA. Each home will be located on its own lot, and will likely be fenced in
Planning Commission
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
to separate the private yards from the common areas. The homes that front Eaton Street will be
designed to not appear closed off to the street; rather they will have porches and architectural
features that are oriented toward both the street and the interior courtyard.
Drainage and Public Improvements
The ODP proposes multiple drainage areas on the site, comprised of smaller areas between the
carport and the homes, and a larger area on the southwestern corner of the site. The proposed
streetscape will comply with the Streetscape Design Manual, and will include a new attached
sidewalk. To further define the parking areas, the applicant proposes bulb -outs at the parking
area entry and near an existing large evergreen on the site.
Proposed Density and Relationship to Surrounding Area
The proposed density for the project is 12.6 dwelling units (du's) per acre. The existing
neighborhood currently contains a mix of residential densities. The property immediately to the
south contains a two-story multi -family building with 10 units and a density of 22.3 du's per
acre. There are nine single-family homes along the west side of Eaton Street between 28th and
291h Avenues with an average density of 6.5 du's per acre. If the ODP were to be approved, the
average du's per acre for the east side of Eaton Street between 28th and 29th Avenues would be
13.5. Beyond this block, mixed densities continue, with additional two-story multi -family
buildings and single-family development.
The project proposes a scale and mass for the homes that is consistent with the smaller existing
homes along Eaton Street. Staff believes that the proposed density is consistent with the area. In
addition, the proposed homes are roughly 800 square feet and 1,300 square feet, which are
consistent with the smaller existing homes in the area and will not have the same impact on the
neighborhood as larger homes.
Architecture
The applicant has provided renderings in the ODP of the proposed cottage style architecture with
homes that are 1 and 1 %2 story in height. Details include covered front and rear porches, and
materials will primarily include painted lap siding. Additional architecture will be required and
reviewed at the time of the SDP.

IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA
The zone change and ODP application require analysis relative to the zone change criteria
outlined in Section 26-112 E. Staff provides the following analysis:
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 will not result in adverse effects on the surrounding area. Portions of the
property are currently vacant and the proposed plan is consistent with the neighborhood and
will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area. The new homes should
have a positive impact on the neighborhood both aesthetically and from a property value
perspective.
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 a provide such where they do not exist or
are under capacity.
All responding agencies have indicated they can serve the property with improvements
installed at the developers' expense. Should the zone change be approved, a more detailed
review will occur at the time of the Specific Development Plan.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
3. At least one 1 of the following conditions exists:
Planning Commission 5
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
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.
Excel pt.from Envision Wheat Ridge Structure Plan
Neighborhoods
see Chapter 3 Criteria for
diHererent Neighborhood types
UJ
' ch Y
I Site Location I
Envision Wheat Ridge, the City's 2009 Comprehensive Plan, identifies this area as
Neighborhood, which is a designation for areas to be the places for people to own homes and
thrive and where residents of all ages can live safely and comfortably. The plan includes the
following goals for the Neighborhood designation associated with this location:
1. Maintain and enhance the quality and character of Wheat Ridge's established
neighborhoods.
2. Increase housing options.
3. Increase investment and stability in Neighborhood Revitalization Areas.
The proposal provides homes with a compatible scale and style for new homes in an
established neighborhood. Under the current code, the applicants could construct large
homes up to thirty five feet tall in a style that is architecturally different than the existing
context. Rather than taking this approach to maximize their investment in the property, they
are proposing homes that are similar in scale and style to the surrounding area. This proposal
will maintain the current architectural character while enhancing the neighborhood through
the investment in the property.
Planning Commission 6
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
The proposal also provides an increase in housing options for the City. The applicants
envision a pocket neighborhood with a design that encourages interaction between the
residents. In addition, it is anticipated that potential owners will understand that parking
provided is less than a typical single-family home. This type of development has been
constructed in areas throughout the United States and has proven to be desired by some.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning map of
the City of Wheat Ridge is in error.
Staff has not found any evidence of an error with the current R-1 C and R-3 designations as they
appear on the City's zoning map.
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.
There is evidence of some residential redevelopment pressure in the surrounding area. Over the
past few years, a number of land use applications and building permits have been sought by
homeowners and developers to remodel, scrape and rebuild, or develop vacant land for
residential use in the area. If this application is not approved, the applicants indicate that they
would likely build fewer, but larger, single- and two-family homes under the current zoning.
The proposal is for a unique development type that the current zone district regulations do not
contemplate, but may be more appropriate and compatible with 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 a zone change support this request.
V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
The required pre -application meeting for neighborhood input was held on November 4, 2015.
There were approximately 12 members of the public in attendance. (Exhibit 6, Neighborhood
Meeting Notes)
Planning Commission
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
VI. AGENCY REFERRAL
All affected service agencies were contacted for comment on the zone change request and the
ODP regarding the ability to serve the property. Specific referral responses follow:
West Metro Fire Protection District: No concerns with the proposal.
Wheat Ridge Water District: No comments.
Wheat Ridge Public Works: No concerns at this time. The applicant is continuing to work
with Public Works to finalize their drainage plan and traffic studies.
Wheat Ridge Sanitation District: No objections with the proposal.
Xcel Energy: No concerns.
Wheat Ridge Police Department: No concerns with the proposal.
VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that the proposed Planned Residential Development zoning and accompanying
Outline Development Plan are consistent with the goals and policies of the City's guiding
documents, including Envision Wheat Ridge. In Sec. 26-301.C. of the code, the purpose of a
planned development is discussed and includes the following:
1. To accommodate extraordinary or unique development proposals that are not feasible
under standard zone districts.
- This proposal could not be accommodated through the existing zoning on the
property due to its unique configuration of home sites around a common courtyard
and consolidated parking area.
2. To accomplish compatible development with adjacent commercial, residential and/or
industrial land uses through proper land use transitions and buffering techniques.
- While the existing zoning could result in compatible development, the planned
development process requires that this be taken into consideration for each unique
site.
3. To promote flexibility in design and permit diversification in the location of structures.
- The planned development process for this project would result in a site with
structures not in typical configuration for single- and two-family homes through a
flexible approach to design.
4. To promote the efficient use of land to facilitate a more economic arrangement of
building, circulation systems, land use and utilities.
- This project proposes a drainage plan and parking area that is consolidated and
eff cient for the site.
5. To preserve to the greatest extent possible, the existing landscape features and to
minimize impacts on other natural features of the site.
- It is the intent of the applicant to save the large existing evergreen on the site.
Planning Commission 8
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
6. To combine and coordinate architectural styles, building forms and building relationships
within the planned developments.
- The planned development process will result in a project that has considered an
appropriate architectural style for the area, and how the buildings and site
configuration will impact the social lives of the residents and surrounding area.
7. To promote conformance with the adopted comprehensive plan, established policies and
guidelines for the area and for the community.
- As provided in the analysis above, the planned development process would result in a
project in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Neighborhood
Revitalization Strategy.
Staff further concludes that the proposal provides a housing option that is not currently available
within the City of Wheat Ridge. The style and scale of the proposed housing is consistent with
the existing area and more appropriate than larger single-family or two-family homes. The
neighborhood is relatively walkable and a reduced parking requirement should not cause harm to
the surrounding area, particularly when factoring in available adjacent on -street parking.
Because the proposed zoning and ODP meet the criteria for evaluation, a recommendation for
approval is given for Case No. WZ-16-05.

2826 Eaton Street • Wheat Ridge, Colorado May 10, 2016
OVERVIEW
Eaton Street Cottages is a development of 9 homes on 3/4 of an acre, gathered around a
shared community green space with parking clustered to the side. Each cottage has its own
private yard, surrounded by a low fence and garden gate. Fostering neighborly connections
is a keynote in the design of this development. While small by today's standards (800 to
1325 square feet), the homes will be designed to live large and be well crafted and
detailed beyond typical market homes.

DESIGN FOR COMMUNITY
The most significant aspect of the Eaton Street Cottages site plan is that it's designed with
the neighborhood in mind. While most subdivisions have flanks of garage doors facing the
street and homes oriented to private back yards, this is a pocket neighborhood of small
houses with large porches open to a common courtyard. There are no garage doors facing
the street There is only one driveway to a clustered parking area and the 1 and 11/2 -story
cottage homes along the street offer a friendly face to surrounding neighbors and
passersby. Parking is deliberately placed so that residents walk from their car doors to their
front doors through the shared commons, offering a chance to enjoy the garden and chat
with a neighbor. These informal meetings encourage casual connections to become
friendly neighbors and perhaps even long-term friendships. And when neighbors know one
another, they tend to look after each other. They care. In this day and age, this is a
valuable security.

Balancing Community and Privacy
Community can be wonderful, but too much community can be suffocating. On the other
hand, with too much privacy, a person can feel cut off from neighbors. Creating multiple
'layers of personal space' will help achieve the right balance between privacy and
community.
In the design of Eaton Street Cottages, there is a narrowed passage between the public
street and the semi-public commons, creating a sense of entry and territorial ownership.
Between the commons and the front door, there are five additional layers: a border of
shrubs and flowers at the edge of the sidewalk / a low fence / the private yard / a covered
porch with a low railing and flowerboxes / and then the front door. With this layering,
residents can feel comfortable being on the porch — enough enclosure to be private, with
enough openness to acknowledge passersby.
Layers of personal space continue on the interior of the homes. Active living spaces are
oriented toward the shared commons and the more private, personal spaces, are at the
back of the house or upstairs. Most of the cottages also have a secluded garden out the
back door to retreat to.
The house plans have three 'open' sides and one 'closed' side so that they 'nest' together,
ensuring privacy between dwellings. The open sides have windows facing the commons
and private yards, while the closed side has high windows and skylights. Through the use
of a landscape easement, the side yard of each cottage extends to the face of the
neighboring building, offering more usable garden space.
PARKING, STREET DESIGN, BICYCLES AND STORAGE
Given the relatively small size of the homes (806 and 1325 SF) and proximity to public
transit and local amenities like restaurants, retail and parks, it is anticipated than many
residents will have one car. At Eaton Street Cottages, each resident will have one
designated covered parking space, and the community has an additional five un-
designated open parking spaces for shared use. In addition, there are five on -street parking
spaces for public use.
On street parking spaces are in parking pockets. This is achieved by replacing existing road
pavement outside of the drive lanes with landscaped planting beds. This street design
calms traffic by narrowing the visual width of the street, clarifies where parking is/ is not
allowed, preserves standard drive lane widths, reduces heat island effect and softens the
appearance of the project from the street.
In addition to covered parking for cars, there is covered storage space for resident's
bicycles.
Adjacent to the covered parking is an accessory building for multiple uses: recycling and
refuse, community toolshed and storage, and individual resident storage units.
SIMPLE MATERIALS, RICH DETAIL
In this packet are two cottage home plans: Erin (1 1/2 -story detached) and Willows (single
story duplex). Each has gabled roofs and room -sized porches. While the materials are

common — vinyl windows, painted fiber -cement siding, exposed rafter tails — there is
careful attention to detail, proportion, and scale.
A PATTERN LANGUAGE FOR EATON STREET COTTAGES
The following is a list of guiding patterns and relationships that underlie the design of this
community and its cottages.
POCKET NEIGHBORHOOD This is the basic building block for strong and vibrant communities.
Pocket neighborhoods are clustered groups of homes gathered around a shared open space such
as a garden courtyard or pedestrian street. Pocket Neighborhoods are sized around the scale of
sociability— 4 to 12 nearby neighbors who relate on a daily basis.
COMMONS AT THE HEART The shared open space is a key element of a pocket neighborhood. It
is an intermediate zone between private dwellings (home, yard) and public space (street, park).
Residents surrounding this space share in its care and oversight, thereby enhancing a felt and
actual sense of security and identity. Because of its location and design, this space fosters casual
interaction among neighbors, which, in time, can grow into caring friendships and a meaningful
sense of community.
LAYERS OF PERSONAL SPACE just outside the front door of a home is a zone of space that is both
private and public. Left undefined, a person is apt to feel exposed. Too enclosed, a person will
feel cut off from neighbors. Finding the right balance is the key to cultivating community.
A pocket neighborhood may have several layers of personal space that are clearly defined
transitions from private to public: closest in may be a covered front porch with a low railing and
a band of flowerboxes, then a small private yard with a low fence, a border of shrubs and flowers
at the edge of the commons walk.
• ACTIVE ROOMS FORWARD, PRIVATE ROOMS BACK AND ABOVE Layers of Personal Space
continue on the interior of the homes, too: the more active living spaces are toward the shared
commons; the more private, personal spaces are toward the back of the house and upstairs.
NESTED HOUSES Having a neighboring house peering into one's private living space can be
uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Therefore, design houses with three 'open' sides and one
'closed' side so that neighboring houses 'nest' together with no window looking into a neighbor's
living space. High windows and skylights on the closed side can bring in ample light. Variations
on this can work for attached dwellings.
FULL -USE SIDE YARDS Achieve this with "landscape easements" allowing use to face of
neighboring building.
SECLUDED OUDOOR SPACE Sometimes, having a secluded garden is just what is needed to
recharge a busy life. Locate this space at the rear of the dwelling, or on a roof terrace for the
most privacy.
PLACE FOR PLANTING Most people find satisfaction being able to work with the soil and grow
plants; so include some private ground space for each dwelling: a small yard, a planting bed, or
even flowerboxes. Locate at least some of the private garden in view of the shared common
area — it will be a personal touch that contributes to the character of the commons, as well as a
way of fostering connections with neighbors.
FRONT PORCH A living -sized front porch is perhaps the key element in fostering neighborly
connections. While it gives charm to a house, it should not be a "faux" porch appliqu6d just for
looks. A good porch functions as an outdoor living room, whether for reading a book, gathering
for a midsummer supper, or lingering in conversation with several friends. Locate it within sight
and sound of the pedestrian public space.
EYES ON PUBLIC SPACE The first line of defense for personal security is a strong network of
Eaton Street Cottages Narrative page 3 of 4
Planning Commission 12
WZ-16-05 – Eaton Street Cottages
neighbors who know and care for one another; but they need to see who is coming and going to
be effective. Therefore, locate active interior spaces with a view to the courtyard, lane or street.
This can also be helpful to keep an eye out for young children in the commons, and to be
watchful for personal emergencies.
ENUF STORAGE Make sure households have enough storage space. Small is beautiful, but it can
get cluttered if there's not room for the residual stuff of life: suitcases, holiday ornaments, old
photo albums, turkey pans, snow tires, bicycles, camping gear, hand tools, and what not.
Storage places inside the house can be closets, cubbies, cabinets, shelves and attics; Outside
storage may be served in a dedicated building.
CORRAL THE CAR Cars are essential for many people, but that doesn't mean they need to
dominate the pedestrian space. Start first by locating parking to be a good neighbor; don't have
garage doors greeting guests! Instead of streets with wide driveways and garage doors, create
access lanes for parking and services at the rear of the house.
REMOTE PARKING When residents walk from the car door to the front door through the shared
commons, they have more opportunities to say "hello" to a neighbor along the way, or just
enjoy the garden. Remote parking can also allow more flexible use of a site and decrease the
amount of hard surface.
UNASSIGNED PARKING Every residence should have one assigned parking space, but more than
that can be un -assigned. This way, multiple residents may use it at different times, effectively
increasing the parking efficiency.
MAILBOX CLUSTER When mailboxes are clustered near the main entrance to the shared open
space or commons house, 'chance' meetings among neighbors are increased.
COMMUNITY BICYCLE SHELTER Bikes should not be on porches, which is where they end up
without an alternative. Build a shared bicycle shelter near the entrance for ease of use.
GARDEN SHED There is no need for every home to have a lawn mower, weed -whacker and tiller.
Build a garden shed for shared tools, as well as extra garden tables, chairs and games.
CONNECTION & CONTRIBUTION This should be the FIRST pattern to consider. When designing
any project, take note of the larger context you're building in (the block, neighboring buildings,
etc. Ask: What works well? What doesn't? Are there missing 'teeth' in the rhythm of buildings or
trees along the street? Then ask, how can this project connect and contribute to making the larger
context stronger /richer /more whole? In other words, be a good neighbor.

NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING SUMMARY
Meeting Date: November 4, 2015
Attending Staff: Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner
Lisa Ritchie, Planner II
Zack Wallace, Planning Technician
Property Address: 2826 Eaton Street
Applicant: Andrew Gibson, Mark Davis, and Mark O'Brian
Square Root Construction
PO Box 12370
Denver, CO 80212
Applicant Present?: Yes
Existing Zoning: Residential -Three (R-3) and Residential -One C (RI -C)
Existing Comp. Plan: Neighborhood
Existing Site Conditions:
The site consists of ten (10) lots across two (2) parcels, all with the address 2826 Eaton Street.
The site currently houses a single-family home, carriage house, and detached garage. The three
structures are located in the southern portion of the lot. The northern portion of the lot remains
undeveloped. According to the Jefferson County Accessor, the house and carriage house were
built in 1941, and the garage was built in 1949.
This property is located in southeast Wheat Ridge. It is located mid -block between 28th Avenue
and 29th Avenue, on Eaton Street, five (5) blocks west of Sheridan Boulevard.
The subject property is currently zoned R -1C and R-3, both residential zoning districts. The R-
1 C district allows for small lot medium -density single-family residential, while R-3 allows for
medium- to high-density residential neighborhoods. The site is surrounded predominantly by
residential uses, with a mix of R -1C, R-2, and R-3 zone districts. There is also some
commercially zoned (C-1) property to the north along 29th Avenue with neighborhood serving
commercial businesses. The surrounding land uses are fairly consistent with the zoning
designations. Single-family homes are predominate in the entire area, with some multi -family
housing units present, generally located along/near 28th Avenue, south of the subject site.
Planning Commission 21
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal:
The applicants, Square Root Construction, have proposed a `cottage court' concept, which would
accommodate eight (8) single-family dwelling units surrounding a center courtyard on the site.
Each of the housing units would have a building footprint measuring roughly 30' x 20' and offer
approximately 1,100 square feet of living space. The current site plan indicates the inclusion of a
parking area on the northern and southern ends of the property. A looped pedestrian path creates
a large open space between the homes, to be used as a common area.
According to the applicants, houses would be owner -occupied, with the rest of the land area
designated as common area. A homeowners association (HOA) would be in place for the
maintenance of the common area landscaping, parking and snow removal, as well as any
maintenance of storm water detention and/or water quality facilities.
The applicants favor this particular location because their `cottage court' proposal is contextually
sensitive to the existing neighborhood character. The area also provides walkable commercial
and recreational opportunities, which fits their development mindset.
The applicants acknowledge that their site plan will likely be revised following feedback from
community development staff and other professional opinions. They have been in contact with
The Cottage Company, based out of Seattle, which has built several cottage communities of this
type in Washington, to work out more specific details of a revised site plan. At this time, the
applicants are primarily interested in initial feedback from staff and will likely hold a
neighborhood meeting to obtain feedback from the neighbors.
If they ultimately acquire the property and the proposal for the cottage unit development is not
approved by City Council, or meets heavy opposition by residents, the applicants indicated they
may construct single-family homes that comply with the existing zone district standards.
Attendance from the neighborhood:
Twelve people from the neighborhood attended the meeting; see attached sign-up sheet.
The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
• Staff explained the site conditions, zoning in the neighborhood, and the reason for the
rezone to Planned Residential Development request.
• The applicant explained the development proposal.
• The attendees were informed of the process for a rezoning to Planned Residential
Development.
The following issues were discussed regarding the application:
What happens if the HOA is ineffective or doesn't provide property maintenance?
• The applicant is aware that sometimes small HOA's have this challenge. They are in
discussions with management companies that combine providers for these types of small
HOAs in order to gain efficiency of service.
Planning Commission 22
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
How will the applicants prevent homeless people from gathering in the common area?
• The applicant feels the site design will discourage this, with houses oriented toward the
common area. Other neighbors on the block are not concerned with this happening in
this particular location.
Will these be owner -occupied units?
• The applicants intend to sell all units to owner occupants. Whether or not the buyer rents
them out is not in their control.
What is the duration of the construction timeframe?
• The applicants intend to construct all units at the same time, approximately in a 9-12
month timeframe.
Is there a reason the applicant is not proposing 4 standard homes?
• The applicant feels this design concept is more appropriate for this area. Any traditional
single family homes built would likely be large and out of character with the surrounding
area.
What will the price range be?
• The applicants desire these to be affordable homes, however they will be market driven.
They are unsure at this time, as site development costs are not finalized and there are few
comps for this product type.
How is this similar to Yukon Grove?
• Yukon Grove, near 32nd Avenue and Wadsworth Blvd, are semi -custom homes with
attached two -car garages. The homes are bigger, and the site had a lot of public
improvements required.
What public improvements will be required for this project?
• The applicants will finish the curb, gutter and sidewalkfor the entire length of the
property. They will also provide drainage facilities, yet to be determined.
Is there a plume of gas on this property?
• Due to a leaking underground gas tank at 29`h Avenue and Fenton Street, some
properties in the area have an underground gas plume. There are monitoring wells
throughout the area and the applicants are working with an environmental engineer to
determine the scope of the issue on the property. They have completed a Phase I
Environmental Assessment and the results do not identify any areas of great concern.
What if the property is rezoned and then the applicant walks away?
• If that happens, another applicant could complete the projector rezone it again.
What will the parking requirement be?
• The starting point for the parking requirement will be what is defined in the code, 2 off-
street spaces per unit. Staff will work with the applicant to ensure adequate parking is
provided.
Planning Commission 23
WZ-16-05 — Eaton Street Cottages
What will the setbacks be?
• The starting point for determining setbacks will be typical residential setbacks in the
area. Staff will work with the applicant to ensure adequate setbacks are provided.
How can the applicants construct public improvements and still provide affordable units?
• The cost of the homes will be market driven, to include all associated development costs.
The final price point is still to be determined.
This particular neighborhood is very hodge-podge. It would be nice to see a proposal that
relates better to the neighborhood.
• The applicants feel this proposal relates very well to the neighborhood.
How tall will the homes be?
• The applicants intend to construct 1 M2 to 2 -story homes, likely.
No written correspondence was received regarding the meeting.

Re: WZ-16-051
Dear Mr. Gibson:
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033-8001 P: 303.235.2846 F: 303.235.2857
This letter is in regards to your application for approval of a rezoning to Planned Residential
Development with an Outline Development Plan for property zoned Residential -One C and
Residential Three and located at 2826 Eaton Street. I have reviewed the first submittal and have the
following comments:
ODP Comments:
All Sheets
1. Include "Sheet No. X of X" of all sheets.
2. Use the same title block for all sheets.
Sheet 1
3. Correct the type in "County Clerk", as redlined
4. Include a Sheet Index.
5. In the title block, revise to "An Outline Development Plan in the City of Wheat Ridge,
Colorado."
6. In the title block, revise to "Part of the SE '/4 Section..."
7. Under Character of Neighborhood, include that this is a zone change from R-1 C and R-3 to
PRD.
8. Under Allowed Uses:
a. Suggest removing the language prohibiting a detached accessory structure. See
comments under Development Standards.
9. Under the Land Use Table
a. Add "Max." before "Building Coverage"
b. Remove "Impervious Surface" and "5,460 SF (17%)"
c. Add "Min." before "Open Space and Yards" — Suggest revising to 35% or 40% to
give some flexibility for the future Specific Development Plan. Also suggest adding
"Detention" to this line item, "Open Space, Detention and Yards"
10. Under Development Standards
a. Insert "Existing Zoning: Residential -One C and Residential -Three" as Number 1.
b. Insert "Proposed Zoning: Planned Residential Development" as Number 2.
c. Suggest revising "Separation Between Houses" to "Separation Between Buildings" so
there is no confusion that two-family dwellings are permitted.
d. It is possible that how the City measures height may change in the future. Following
"Building heights: 28' Max., suggest adding how this is measured, i.e. The vertical
distance measured from the average elevation of the finished grade of the building to
the mean height level between eaves and ridge for a gable, hip, gambrel or other
roof. Determine a means of measuring that will work with the proposed architecture.
e. Correct typo is Signage reference, see redline.
f. Include "Parking Requirements: Min. 1.5 off-street spaces per dwelling unit"
g. Is a Residential Subdivision sign desired? If so, identify on the ODP with a maximum
sign area
h. Include "Detached Accessory Structures: 1 permitted, Max. Size: XX SF, Max.
Height: XX Ft"
i. As proposed, the entire property could develop with a 10 foot front setback (Eaton St.
Setback). Suggest including a maximum percentage of the frontage that could be
developed at 10 ft, possibly 15 or 20%, then include a minimum setback for the
remainder of the site, suggest 20 or 25 feet.
11. Add a Case History Table with the following cases: WZ-96-08 and WZ-16-05
12. Consider if it is appropriate to provide allowed uses in the Common Area, such as
community gardens, active recreation, passive recreation, etc.
Sheet 2
13. Revise title block of this sheet to the same as Sheet 1.
14. Revise to black and white for mylar recording.
15. Identify drainage/detention area.
16. Pbclude part of the adjacent property lines and zoning for adjacent properties.
17. Include all elements shown on the plan in the legend.
18. Provide a minimum 6 foot buffer between the parking lot and the north property line, and
include a fence or other screen as per Sec. 26.502.E.
19. Revise label to "Detached Storage Shed".
20. Remove "Tabulations" (These are all shown on the first page).
21. Remove street trees from this plan.
22. Revise "Parking Strip" to "Landscape Strip".
23. Remove labels for "Open Side" and "Closed Side". Without definitions or other explanation,
it is not clear what that is intended to provide.
24. The ODP document will not be determining which off-street parking spaces are dedicated
and which are shared. This can be managed through the HOA.
Additional Sheets
25. Suggest adding one or two more sheets that include images and diagrams identified on
redlines. These will need to be revised to black and white for the final recording.

Re: Wheat Ridge Sanitation District — 2826 Eaton Street — WZ-16-05
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 June 1st, 2016 concerning request for a zone change and outline
development plan for nine single family houses at 2826 Eaton 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 Mainlines)
Wheat Ridge Sanitation District has the following sanitary sewer mains adjacent to the proposed property:
• 8 -inch mainline running north to south, west of the referenced property within Eaton 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.
Note that each single family home is required to have a separate connection to the District main. Each home must also
front the District mainline. If this cannot be accommodated with the existing facilities then a public mainline extension
will be required into the property. The mainline will require a minimum 20' easement with appropriate documentation
including a sanitary sewer extension agreement.
Certified design documentation indicating the amount of flow that the nine single family homes will contribute to the
sanitary system is required to initially evaluate if the existing sanitary sewer system has sufficient downstream
capacity. 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.
Costs
The amount of the sanitary sewer tap fees will be based on a single family residential equivalence for each single family
home. In addition, engineering review fees will be required to be deposited in advance by the developer to the District.
A review fee document will be provided after a site plan is submitted for review.

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".

Re: 2826 Eaton St. ODP Trip Generation Letter
To Whom It May Concern:
The proposed project at 2826 Eaton St. is a Planned Unit Development. There are 5
proposed single family detached cottages and 4 single family attached cottages with no
garages for a total of 9 dwelling units. The shared parking area and density of the site put the
proposed project between a single family trip generation rate and a townhouse/condominium
trip generation rate. The ITE Trip Generation manual has a trip generation category of a
PUD (planned unit development) that falls in the middle between the single family detached
rate and the townhouse/condominium rate. I would propose that that rate be used for this
project.
The Weekday Average Vehicle Trip Ends for a PUD is 7.5 for a daily trip end total of 68.
This vehicle generation would be distributed at 50% entering and 50% exiting.
The Weekday PM Peak Hour of adjacent street traffic Average Vehicle Trip Ends for a PUD
is .7 per unit for a peak hour trip end total of 6. This vehicle generation would be distributed
at 65% exiting and 35% entering.
I would anticipate with the proximity of this site to W. 29th Ave. that at least 80% of the trips
would load to and from the north and use W. 29th for access to the regional roadway system.
Sincerely,
Mark J. O'Brian, P.E.

MUNITY DEVELOPMENT'
Memorandum
TO: Potential Land Use Applicants
FROM: Ken Johnstone, Community Development Director
DATE: October 16, 2012
SUBJECT: Notification of Surface Development (C.R.S. §31-23-215 and §24-65.5)
In 2001, the Colorado Revised Statutes were amended to include an Article which addresses
mineral rights in respect to land use applications. This Article states that any application for
development must be accompanied by a completed notification to mineral estate owners. For the
purposes of this requirement, an application for development includes any application which
requires non -administrative approval from Planning Commission or City Council, including:
A Final Subdivision Plat
A Rezoning (including Planned Developments)
A Special Use Permit (if City Council approval is required)
Building Permit applications are not considered an application for development, therefore
mineral estate owners do not need to be noticed.
A Certificate of Notice is attached, and must be completed and returned to the Community
Development Department no later than ten (10) days prior to each public hearing. Both Planning
Commission and City Council hearings must be noticed. It is the responsibility of the applicant,
not the City, to notify any mineral estate owners prior to public hearing. Failure to notice will
constitute sufficient grounds to reschedule the public hearing.
If there are no mineral estate owners, the appropriate box on the certification can be checked and
the certification can be submitted with the development application.

PROJECT SUMMARY
The Eaton Street Cottages offer an alternative vision to the type of development that
has been so typical in the Denver Metro area over the past several years. The
Cottages are a responsible infill design of 9 small houses around a common
courtyard with shared parking. The project fits well within the surrounding
neighborhood both in terms of scale and architecture. The small floorplan options
will give prospective home buyers an alternative to what is currently on the market
and provide Wheat Ridge with some new single family housing options. The location
of the Eaton Street Cottages will allow new residents to walk to local businesses,
parks, and public transportation.
About the Owners / Developers / Builders
Squareroot Cottages, LLC is not a typical developer. Profit is not the only factor
driving the idea behind the design. We truly feel there is another way to build
within our existing neighborhoods: a way that compliments rather than contrasts;
architecture that blends in rather than clashes; developments built to encourage
community rather than exclude the neighbors. We are long time local Denver
builders and we work where we live. We care about our community and our
mission is to improve the fabric of our neighborhoods one project at a time.
About the Architect
Ross Chapin is a pioneer in Pocket Neighborhood design. His string of successful
neighborhoods located in the greater Seattle area have gained national attention
and praise. We sought Ross out because of his proven experience and wealth of
knowledge. This is the first project of this kind in Colorado, and we wanted to make
sure we put together the best team possible to ensure excellent design and a
successful project.

ZONE CHANGE REQUEST
The current zoning for the property is R -1C and R-3. Existing zoning allows for
medium density single family residential (R -1C), and medium to high density
residential (R-3). The proposed project conforms in general with the existing
zoning in terms of land use, however the cottage concept does not fit within any
current Wheat Ridge standard zone district guidelines.
The surrounding land uses are predominantly single family, with adjacent
multifamily to the South, and commercial to the Northwest.
The proposed cottage development will compliment the surrounding neighborhood
and is intentionally designed to fit both in terms of the scale and architecture. Like
the surrounding houses, the cottages are smaller in size and will not block views or
sunlight for surrounding neighbors.
Adequate parking has been provided both on and off site and should not negatively
affect the neighborhood.
Preliminary discussions with the Wheat Ridge Fire District, Wheat Ridge Water, and
Wheat Ridge Sanitation District have not revealed any issues that would hinder
development of the project. Electric, water, sewer and gas are all readily available
and will not require any major system changes to service the project.
The Eaton Street Cottages complies directly with the Wheat Ridge Comprehensive
Plan by preserving and enhancing the neighborhood, providing housing diversity,
and enhancing community character. Furthermore, the proposed development is in
compliance with the Architectural Design and Site Manual. The project is pedestrian
oriented, is certainly creative and unique, clearly defines pedestrian and parking
areas, and will be visually attractive using well thought out landscaping, facades,
street presence, and very appropriately scaled houses.

Setbacks:
Setbacks along Eaton St. were intentionally staggered to give the project a more
interesting and attractive curb appeal. Instead of a wall of houses set at a consistent
distance from the curb, the buildings vary in depth thereby breaking up the pattern
and creating diverse spaces for pedestrians, neighbors and homeowners. Less than
25% of the frontage along Eaton St. has the 10' setback.

Eaton Street Cottages
2826 Eaton Street • Wheat Ridge, Colorado May 10, 2016
OVERVIEW
Eaton Street Cottages is a development of 9 homes on 3/a of an acre, gathered around a
shared community green space with parking clustered to the side. Each cottage has its own
private yard, surrounded by a low fence and garden gate. Fostering neighborly connections
is a keynote in the design of this development. While small by today's standards (800 to
1325 square feet), the homes will be designed to live large and be well crafted and
detailed beyond typical market homes.

DESIGN FOR COMMUNITY
The most significant aspect of the Eaton Street Cottages site plan is that it's designed with
the neighborhood in mind. While most subdivisions have flanks of garage doors facing the
street and homes oriented to private back yards, this is a pocket neighborhood of small
houses with large porches open to a common courtyard. There are no garage doors facing
the street. There is only one driveway to a clustered parking area and the 1 and 11/2 -story
cottage homes along the street offer a friendly face to surrounding neighbors and
passersby. Parking is deliberately placed so that residents walk from their car doors to their
front doors through the shared commons, offering a chance to enjoy the garden and chat
with a neighbor. These informal meetings encourage casual connections to become
friendly neighbors and perhaps even long-term friendships. And when neighbors know one
another, they tend to look after each other. They care. In this day and age, this is a
valuable security.
Eaton Street Cottages Narrative page 1 of 4
Balancing Community and Privacy
Community can be wonderful, but too much community can be suffocating. On the other
hand, with too much privacy, a person can feel cut off from neighbors. Creating multiple
'layers of personal space' will help achieve the right balance between privacy and
community.
In the design of Eaton Street Cottages, there is a narrowed passage between the public
street and the semi-public commons, creating a sense of entry and territorial ownership.
Between the commons and the front door, there are five additional layers: a border of
shrubs and flowers at the edge of the sidewalk / a low fence / the private yard / a covered
porch with a low railing and flowerboxes / and then the front door. With this layering,
residents can feel comfortable being on the porch — enough enclosure to be private, with
enough openness to acknowledge passersby.
Layers of personal space continue on the interior of the homes. Active living spaces are
oriented toward the shared commons and the more private, personal spaces, are at the
back of the house or upstairs. Most of the cottages also have a secluded garden out the
back door to retreat to.
The house plans have three 'open' sides and one 'closed' side so that they 'nest' together,
ensuring privacy between dwellings. The open sides have windows facing the commons
and private yards, while the closed side has high windows and skylights. Through the use
of a landscape easement, the side yard of each cottage extends to the face of the
neighboring building, offering more usable garden space.
PARKING, STREET DESIGN, BICYCLES AND STORAGE
Given the relatively small size of the homes (806 and 1325 SF) and proximity to public
transit and local amenities like restaurants, retail and parks, it is anticipated than many
residents will have one car. At Eaton Street Cottages, each resident will have one
designated covered parking space, and the community has an additional five un-
designated open parking spaces for shared use. In addition, there are five on -street parking
spaces for public use.
On street parking spaces are in parking pockets. This is achieved by replacing existing road
pavement outside of the drive lanes with landscaped planting beds. This street design
calms traffic by narrowing the visual width of the street, clarifies where parking is/ is not
allowed, preserves standard drive lane widths, reduces heat island effect and softens the
appearance of the project from the street.
In addition to covered parking for cars, there is covered storage space for resident's
bicycles.
Adjacent to the covered parking is an accessory building for multiple uses: recycling and
refuse, community toolshed and storage, and individual resident storage units.
SIMPLE MATERIALS, RICH DETAIL
In this packet are two cottage home plans: Erin (11h -story detached) and Willows (single
story duplex). Each has gabled roofs and room -sized porches. While the materials are
Eaton Street Cottages Narrative page 2 of 4
common — vinyl windows, painted fiber -cement siding, exposed rafter tails — there is
careful attention to detail, proportion, and scale.
A PATTERN LANGUAGE FOR EATON STREET COTTAGES
The following is a list of guiding patterns and relationships that underlie the design of this
community and its cottages.
POCKET NEIGHBORHOOD This is the basic building block for strong and vibrant communities.
Pocket neighborhoods are clustered groups of homes gathered around a shared open space such
as a garden courtyard or pedestrian street. Pocket Neighborhoods are sized around the scale of
sociability — 4 to 12 nearby neighbors who relate on a daily basis.
COMMONS AT THE HEART The shared open space is a key element of a pocket neighborhood. It
is an intermediate zone between private dwellings (home, yard) and public space (street, park).
Residents surrounding this space share in its care and oversight, thereby enhancing a felt and
actual sense of security and identity. Because of its location and design, this space fosters casual
interaction among neighbors, which, in time, can grow into caring friendships and a meaningful
sense of community.
LAYERS OF PERSONAL SPACE Just outside the front door of a home is a zone of space that is both
private and public. Left undefined, a person is apt to feel exposed. Too enclosed, a person will
feel cut off from neighbors. Finding the right balance is the key to cultivating community.
A pocket neighborhood may have several layers of personal space that are clearly defined
transitions from private to public: closest in may be a covered front porch with a low railing and
a band of flowerboxes, then a small private yard with a low fence, a border of shrubs and flowers
at the edge of the commons walk.
ACTIVE ROOMS FORWARD, PRIVATE ROOMS BACK AND ABOVE Layers of Personal Space
continue on the interior of the homes, too: the more active living spaces are toward the shared
commons; the more private, personal spaces are toward the back of the house and upstairs.
NESTED HOUSES Having a neighboring house peering into one's private living space can be
uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Therefore, design houses with three 'open' sides and one
'closed' side so that neighboring houses 'nest' together with no window looking into a neighbor's
living space. High windows and skylights on the closed side can bring in ample light. Variations
on this can work for attached dwellings.
FULL -USE SIDE YARDS Achieve this with "landscape easements" allowing use to face of
neighboring building.
SECLUDED OUDOOR SPACE Sometimes, having a secluded garden is just what is needed to
recharge a busy life. Locate this space at the rear of the dwelling, or on a roof terrace for the
most privacy.
PLACE FOR PLANTING Most people find satisfaction being able to work with the soil and grow
plants; so include some private ground space for each dwelling: a small yard, a planting bed, or
even flowerboxes. Locate at least some of the private garden in view of the shared common
area — it will be a personal touch that contributes to the character of the commons, as well as a
way of fostering connections with neighbors.
FRONT PORCH A living -sized front porch is perhaps the key element in fostering neighborly
connections. While it gives charm to a house, it should not be a "faux" porch appliqued just for
looks. A good porch functions as an outdoor living room, whether for reading a book, gathering
for a midsummer supper, or lingering in conversation with several friends. Locate it within sight
and sound of the pedestrian public space.
EYES ON PUBLIC SPACE The first line of defense for personal security is a strong network of
Eaton Street Cottages Narrative page 3 of 4
neighbors who know and care for one another; but they need to see who is coming and going to
be effective. Therefore, locate active interior spaces with a view to the courtyard, lane or street.
This can also be helpful to keep an eye out for young children in the commons, and to be
watchful for personal emergencies.
ENUF STORAGE Make sure households have enough storage space. Small is beautiful, but it can
get cluttered if there's not room for the residual stuff of life: suitcases, holiday ornaments, old
photo albums, turkey pans, snow tires, bicycles, camping gear, hand tools, and what not.
Storage places inside the house can be closets, cubbies, cabinets, shelves and attics; Outside
storage may be served in a dedicated building.
CORRAL THE CAR Cars are essential for many people, but that doesn't mean they need to
dominate the pedestrian space. Start first by locating parking to be a good neighbor; don't have
garage doors greeting guests! Instead of streets with wide driveways and garage doors, create
access lanes for parking and services at the rear of the house.
REMOTE PARKING When residents walk from the car door to the front door through the shared
commons, they have more opportunities to say "hello" to a neighbor along the way, or just
enjoy the garden. Remote parking can also allow more flexible use of a site and decrease the
amount of hard surface.
UNASSIGNED PARKING Every residence should have one assigned parking space, but more than
that can be un -assigned. This way, multiple residents may use it at different times, effectively
increasing the parking efficiency.
MAILBOX CLUSTER When mailboxes are clustered near the main entrance to the shared open
space or commons house, 'chance' meetings among neighbors are increased.
COMMUNITY BICYCLE SHELTER Bikes should not be on porches, which is where they end up
without an alternative. Build a shared bicycle shelter near the entrance for ease of use.
GARDEN SHED There is no need for every home to have a lawn mower, weed -whacker and tiller.
Build a garden shed for shared tools, as well as extra garden tables, chairs and games.
CONNECTION & CONTRIBUTION This should be the FIRST pattern to consider. When designing
any project, take note of the larger context you're building in (the block, neighboring buildings,
etc. Ask: What works well? What doesn't? Are there missing 'teeth' in the rhythm of buildings or
trees along the street? Then ask, how can this project connect and contribute to making the larger
context stronger /richer /more whole? In other words, be a good neighbor.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING SUMMARY
Meeting Date: November 4, 2015
Attending Staff: Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner
Lisa Ritchie, Planner II
Zack Wallace, Planning Technician
Property Address: 2826 Eaton Street
Applicant: Andrew Gibson, Mark Davis, and Mark O'Brian
Square Root Construction
PO Box 12370
Denver, CO 80212
Applicant Present?: Yes
Existing Zoning: Residential -Three (R-3) and Residential -One C (RI -C)
Existing Comp. Plan: Neighborhood
Existing Site Conditions:
The site consists of ten (10) lots across two (2) parcels, all with the address 2826 Eaton Street.
The site currently houses a single-family home, carriage house, and detached garage. The three
structures are located in the southern portion of the lot. The northern portion of the lot remains
undeveloped. According to the Jefferson County Accessor, the house and carriage house were
built in 1941, and the garage was built in 1949.
This property is located in southeast Wheat Ridge. It is located mid -block between 28th Avenue
and 29th Avenue, on Eaton Street, five (5) blocks west of Sheridan Boulevard.
The subject property is currently zoned R -1C and R-3, both residential zoning districts. The R-
1 C district allows for small lot medium -density single-family residential, while R-3 allows for
medium- to high-density residential neighborhoods. The site is surrounded predominantly by
residential uses, with a mix of R -1C, R-2, and R-3 zone districts. There is also some
commercially zoned (C-1) property to the north along 29th Avenue with neighborhood serving
commercial businesses. The surrounding land uses are fairly consistent with the zoning
designations. Single-family homes are predominate in the entire area, with some multi -family
housing units present, generally located along/near 28th Avenue, south of the subject site.
Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal:
The applicants, Square Root Construction, have proposed a `cottage court' concept, which would
accommodate eight (8) single-family dwelling units surrounding a center courtyard on the site.
Each of the housing units would have a building footprint measuring roughly 30' x 20' and offer
approximately 1,100 square feet of living space. The current site plan indicates the inclusion of a
parking area on the northern and southern ends of the property. A looped pedestrian path creates
a large open space between the homes, to be used as a common area.
According to the applicants, houses would be owner -occupied, with the rest of the land area
designated as common area. A homeowners association (HOA) would be in place for the
maintenance of the common area landscaping, parking and snow removal, as well as any
maintenance of storm water detention and/or water quality facilities.
The applicants favor this particular location because their `cottage court' proposal is contextually
sensitive to the existing neighborhood character. The area also provides walkable commercial
and recreational opportunities, which fits their development mindset.
The applicants acknowledge that their site plan will likely be revised following feedback from
community development staff and other professional opinions. They have been in contact with
The Cottage Company, based out of Seattle, which has built several cottage communities of this
type in Washington, to work out more specific details of a revised site plan. At this time, the
applicants are primarily interested in initial feedback from staff and will likely hold a
neighborhood meeting to obtain feedback from the neighbors.
If they ultimately acquire the property and the proposal for the cottage unit development is not
approved by City Council, or meets heavy opposition by residents, the applicants indicated they
may construct single-family homes that comply with the existing zone district standards.
Attendance from the neighborhood:
Twelve people from the neighborhood attended the meeting; see attached sign-up sheet.
The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
• Staff explained the site conditions, zoning in the neighborhood, and the reason for the
rezone to Planned Residential Development request.
• The applicant explained the development proposal.
• The attendees were informed of the process for a rezoning to Planned Residential
Development.
The following issues were discussed regarding the application:
What happens if the HOA is ineffective or doesn't provide property maintenance?
• The applicant is aware that sometimes small HOA 's have this challenge. They are in
discussions with management companies that combine providers for these types of small
HOAs in order to gain efficiency of service.
How will the applicants prevent homeless people from gathering in the common area?
• The applicant feels the site design will discourage this, with houses oriented toward the
common area. Other neighbors on the block are not concerned with this happening in
this particular location.
Will these be owner -occupied units?
• The applicants intend to sell all units to owner occupants. Whether or not the buyer rents
them out is not in their control.
What is the duration of the construction timeframe?
• The applicants intend to construct all units at the same time, approximately in a 9-12
month timeframe.
Is there a reason the applicant is not proposing 4 standard homes?
• The applicant feels this design concept is more appropriate for this area. Any traditional
single family homes built would be large and out of character with the surrounding area.
What will the price range be?
• The applicants desire these to be affordable homes, however they will be market driven.
They are unsure at this time, as site development costs are not finalized and there are few
comps for this product type.
How is this similar to Yukon Grove?
• Yukon Grove, near 32nd Avenue and Wadsworth Blvd, are semi -custom homes with
attached two -car garages. The homes are bigger, and the site had a lot of public
improvements required.
What public improvements will be required for this project?
• The applicants will finish the curb, gutter and sidewalk for the entire length of the
property. They will also provide drainage facilities, yet to be determined.
Is there a plume of gas on this property?
• Due to a leaking underground gas tank at 29`h Avenue and Fenton Street, some
properties in the area have an underground gas plume. There are monitoring wells
throughout the area and the applicants are working with an environmental engineer to
determine the scope of the issue on the property. They have completed a Phase 1
Environmental Assessment and the results do not identify an areas of great concern.
What if the property is rezoned and then the applicant walks away?
• If that happens, another applicant could complete the projector rezone it again.
What will the parking requirement be?
The starting point for the parking requirement will be what is defined in the code, 2 off-
street spaces per unit. Staff will work with the applicant to ensure adequate parking is
provided.
What will the setbacks be?
• The starting point for determining setbacks will be typical residential setbacks in the
area. Staff will work with the applicant to ensure adequate setbacks are provided.
How can the applicants construct public improvements and still provide affordable units?
• The cost of the homes will be market driven, to include all associated development costs.
The final price point is still to be determined.
This particular neighborhood is very hodge-podge. It would be nice to see a proposal that
relates better to the neighborhood.
• The applicants feel this proposal relates very well to the neighborhood.
How tall will the homes be?
• The applicants intend to construct 1 % to 2 -story homes, likely.
No written correspondence was received regarding the meeting.

Re: Neighborhood Meeting
When: Wednesday, November 4th. 6PM
Where: City of Wheat Ridge Municipal Building
7500 W. 291h Ave.
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033
Second Floor Conference Room
Dear Neighbor:
Squareroot, Inc. is pleased to invite you to a neighborhood meeting to discuss our plans
to re -develop the property located at 2826 Eaton St. Currently the property is zoned R-3
multi family, and R -1-C single family. Existing uses on the .75 acre site include a single
family home, a carriage house, a large garage complex and some vacant land.
Our proposal would be to build a new cottage home community. There would be small,
detached, single family homes centered around a common green space with a shared
parking area. This is a unique development plan for Wheat Ridge that we are very
excited about building. We feel the small detached homes are a thoughtful alternative to
multi family housing and the project would be a great addition to the neighborhood. The
cottage community would require re -zoning to Planned Residential Development.
We are inviting our neighbors to come to the City of Wheat Ridge municipal building so
that we may present our ideas for the property and get your feedback. This is not a
formal re -zoning hearing, and we are still very early in the planning process. We want
our neighbors to be fully informed of our intentions and answer any questions that we can
at this time.
Representatives from the City of Wheat Ridge Community Planning Department will
also be in attendance. They can be reached at 303-235-2846 if you have any questions
about the meeting. You can also call Andrew Gibson with Squareroot Construction at
303-250-5911.
We hope that you can attend and look forward to meeting you in person.
Regards,
A l7�

Zone Change Criteria
For a zone change request, the Planning
Commission and City Council base their
decision on 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; and
2. The development proposed on the
subject property is not feasible under
any other zone district, and would
require an unreasonable number of
variances or waivers and conditions;
and
What is zoning?
All properties within the City of Wheat Ridge are zoned. Zoning regulates
what land uses are allowed and establishes standards for construction
including building setbacks, lot coverage, and building height.
There are many different zone districts within the City including residential,
commercial, industrial and planned development zoning.
What is a zone change?
A zone change is the process of changing the current zone district to a
different zone district. A property owner may choose to change the zoning
to use his property differently from what the existing zoning allows (e.g.,
residential vs. commercial).
All proposed commercial, industrial and residential applications for property
exceeding one acre in size must be rezoned to a planned development
district.
3. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are Why is a neighborhood meeting required?
available to serve the types of uses A neighborhood meeting is required for all zone change requests. The
allowed by the change of zone, or the purpose of the meeting is to provide the opportunity for citizens to become
applicant will upgrade and provide aware of the proposed development in their neighborhood, and to allow the
such where they do not exist or are developer to respond to citizen concerns regarding the proposed project. All
under capacity; and residents within 600 feet are notified of the meeting.
4. 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
city -approved policies or plans for
the area.
b. The existing zone classification
currently recorded on the official
zoning maps of the City of Wheat
Ridge is in error.
c. A change of character in the area
has occurred or is occurring to
such a degree that it is in the
public interest to encourage
redevelopment of the area or to
recognize the changing character
of the area.
d. The proposed rezoning is
necessary in order to provide for
a community need that was not
anticipated at the time of the
adoption of the City of Wheat
Ridge comprehensive plan.
How do I give my opinion on a zone change?
All public hearings for proposed zone changes are open to the public to
appear and give testimony. Testimony can include written correspondence
or a statement made at the public hearing. Any written correspondence
provided to staff will be forwarded to the Planning Commission and City
Council as part of the evidence of the case. All pertinent correspondence
should be routed through planning staff.
Can I contact my council representative?
Public hearings for zone changes are quasi-judicial in nature. This means
that the deciding body should make a decision only based on testimony
presented at public hearings. Please do not contact the Mayor, Planning
Commissioners, or City Council representatives to discuss the merits of the
case prior to the public hearings; it could jeopardize their ability to hear the
case.
What is a legal protest?
A legal protest is a formal, written protest which can be submitted by
adjacent property owners within 100' of a subject property. If 20% of
property owners on one side within a 100' radius file a legal protest, it
requires a three-fourths vote of City Council (6 out of 8 members present) to
approve a zone change instead of a simple majority (5 out of 8 members
present). A legal protest is usually filed after the Planning Commission
public hearing.

What is a Planned Development?
Many properties in Wheat Ridge are part of a planned development zone district, including planned residential (PRD),
planned commercial (PCD), and planned industrial (PID) districts. Each planned development has its own list of permitted
uses and development standards.
There are two distinct steps in establishing a planned development. Step one is approval of an outline development plan
(ODP) that establishes the planned development zoning designation, permitted uses, underlying development parameters,
and general design concepts. Step two is approval of a specific development plan (SDP) to provide specific site plans,
building elevations, and civil documents. The SDP and ODP are both approved at public hearings.
Obtaining approval of a Outline Development Plan can take about four months and is treated like a zone change. The
process requires two public hearings. A Specific Development Plan can be reviewed at the same time as the ODP. If the
SDP is submitted after ODP approval, only a public hearing before planning commission is required.

Specific Site Location: 2826 Eaton Street
Existing Zoning: R-1 C (Residential -One C) and R-3 (Residential -Three)
Existing Comp. Plan: Neighborhood
Existing Conditions:
The site consists of ten (10) lots across two (2) parcels, all with the address 2826 Eaton Street.
The site currently houses a single-family home, carriage house, and detached garage. The three
structures are located in the southern portion of the lot. The northern portion of the lot remains
undeveloped. According to the Jefferson County Accessor, the house and carriage house were
built in 1941, and the garage was built in 1949.

This property is located in southeast Wheat Ridge. It is located mid -block between 28th Avenue
and 29th Avenue, on Eaton Street, five (5) blocks west of Sheridan Boulevard.
The subject property is currently zoned R-1 C and R-3, both residential zoning districts. The R-
I C district allows for medium -density single-family residential, while R-3 allows for medium- to
high-density residential neighborhoods. The site is surrounded predominantly by residential uses,
with a mix of R-1 C, R-2, and R-3 zone districts. There is also some commercially zoned (C-1)
property along 291h Avenue with neighborhood serving commercial businesses. The surrounding
land uses are fairly consistent with the zoning designations. Single-family homes are
predominate in the entire area, with some multi -family housing units present, generally located
along/near 28th Avenue, south of the subject site.

Applicant Preliminary Proposal:
The applicants, Square Root Construction, have proposed a `cottage court' concept, which would
accommodate seven (7) single-family dwelling units on the site. Each of the housing units would
have a building footprint measuring roughly 30' x 20' and offer approximately 1,100 square feet
of living space. The current site plan indicates the inclusion of a carport on the northern end of
the property. The carport is connected to the seven houses via a looped sidewalk. The looped
sidewalk creates a large open space between the homes, to be used as a common area.
Figure 3: Submitted Proposed Site Plan for 2826 Eaton Street.
The proposed site plan suggests that the homes on the western edge of the property would be
facing inward towards the common area, away from Eaton Street. However, the applicants stated
that they do not like the idea of houses having their back to Eaton Street, and as such, houses on
the west end of the property would be built as two-sided houses in order to front both the
common space and the street.
According to the applicants, houses would be owner -occupied, with the rest of the land area
designated as a common area. A homeowners association (HOA) would be in place for the
maintenance of the common area landscaping and snow removal, as well as any maintenance of
storm water detention and/or water quality facilities.
The applicants favor this particular location because their `cottage court' proposal is contextually
sensitive to the existing neighborhood character. The area also provides walkable commercial
and recreational opportunities, which fits their development mindset.
The applicants acknowledge that their site plan will likely be revised following feedback from
community development staff and other professional opinions. They have been in contact with
The Cottage Company, based out of Seattle, which has built several cottage communities of this
type in Washington, to work out more specific details of a revised site plan. At this time, the
applicants are primarily interested in initial feedback from staff and will likely hold a
neighborhood meeting to obtain feedback from the neighbors.
If they ultimately acquire the property and the proposal for the cottage unit development is not
approved by City Council, or meets heavy opposition by residents, the applicants indicated they
may construct single-family homes that comply with the existing zone district standards.
Planning Division comments:
The following items were discussed based on the applicant's proposal:
Zoning
The subject property is zoned RI -C and R-3, which permits residential development. Due to the
unique nature of the proposal, however, rezoning to Planned Residential Development is most
appropriate based on the preliminary proposal. The Planned Development zone district permits
"greater flexibility and innovation in land development based upon a comprehensive, integrated
plan" (Wheat Ridge Municipal Code Sec. 26-301).
Prior to development under PRD zoning, two approvals are required. The first is an Outline
Development Plan (ODP) that establishes the planned development zoning designation,
permitted uses, underlying development parameters, and general design concepts. The second is
a Specific Development Plan (SDP) to provide specific site plans, building elevations, and civil
documents. The rezoning process is described in detail below.
Site Design
Regarding the site plan, staff recommends keeping the site layout compatible with the grid
structure present in the area. Rather than orienting the cottage homes around an internal loop,
staff recommends consideration of orienting the homes around a horseshoe or an "L" shape,
which fronts Eaton Street. This would allow the development to orient itself around the large
existing tree present on the property, as well as engage with and front Eaton Street. Any internal
access and drives shall comply with emergency access requirements. Staff encourages the
applicant to contact Kelly Brooks with Wheat Ridge Fire District to understand their
requirements.
Parking
The proposal includes a consolidated carport to provide off-street parking for the development.
Refer to Sec. 26-501 of the code as a starting point for the requirements for off-street parking,
which requires 2 spaces when on -street parking is available. The Planned Development process
allows the amount of off-street parking required to be determined on a case-by-case basis as part
of the consideration of the application.
Subdivision
To subdivide the property, a major plat shall be prepared by a licensed surveyor. This plat
should show all new interior lot lines and will delineate any new or existing easements and
dedications on the property. The subdivision process is described in detail below. This process
may occur in conjunction with the SDP application, allowing simultaneous review of the plat
with the final site design.
Parkland Dedication
Parkland dedication is required for all residential subdivisions based on the assumption that
additional residents in the City will impact the demand for parks and open space. When land is
not dedicated for a public park, a fee is required in lieu. The fee is $2,497.29 per residential lot.
This fee is paid at the time the plat is recorded.
Public Works Comments
For detailed requirements by Public Works for the proposed development, see the attachment.
Will a neighborhood meeting need to be held prior to application submittal?
Yes, a neighborhood meeting is required prior to submitting an application for rezoning to
Planned Residential Development.
Process
This request will require approval of a subdivision plat and Planned Residential Development
outline and specific development plans (ODP and SDP). The three documents can be processed
together, or the ODP can be processed first and the SDP and plat can follow. As a third option,
the applicant may choose to dovetail these reviews which is also acceptable.
Planned Development
The next step in the process is to hold a neighborhood meeting which is required for approval of
a zone change to planned development. For this meeting, the applicant must notify all property
owners within a 600 -foot radius of the property. Notification may be via first class mail or hand
delivery. The Community Development Department will supply the applicant with a list of all
property owners within the 600 -foot radius. A sample notification letter is provided and can be
used as a template. The letter will need to be approved by a planner before it is mailed. The fee
for the neighborhood meetings is $100 plus 50 cents for each page of address labels (average is
$2-$3).
The meeting date, time, and location should be coordinated with a staff member. The fee
associated with the neighborhood meeting is $100 for staff presence, plus 50 cents for each page
of address labels (average is $243). Meetings can be held at City Hall or at a location the
applicant desires. The meeting will be led by the applicant and should inform those who are in
attendance what is being proposed.
After the neighborhood meeting is held, the applicant may submit a formal application. When
the application is submitted, a staff planner will be assigned to handle the case. This person is
the project manager for the case and will be the contact at the City throughout the entire zone
change process.
The case manager will review the submittal application for content. If all submittal requirements
have been met, the proposal will be referred to outside service agencies (Xcel Energy, water
district, fire district, etc.) and other City agencies (Public Works, Economic Development, etc.)
for their review and comment, generally for a period of 15 days. After all comments have been
received, the case manager will forward those to the applicant. Modifications to the planned
development documents may be required as a result of these comments.
After all comments have been addressed, a public hearing before Planning Commission will be
scheduled. Planning Commission will make a recommendation of approval, approval with
conditions or denial. The public hearing procedure is replicated before City Council for final
approval. Once approved, a blackline mylar copy of the development plans must be recorded
with the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder.
If the SDP is submitted separate from and subsequent to approval of the ODP, then the referral
process is repeated for the SDP, and the SDP is approved by the Planning Commission.
Subdivision
A subdivision application does not require a neighborhood meeting, so the next step is to proceed
with an application. The subdivision can be reviewed concurrently with the SDP. When the
applicant is ready to submit the subdivision application, an appointment with a planner in the
Community Development Department is required. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
The subdivision application will need to include a final drainage report.
As with the planned development, upon submittal of the major subdivision application, the
assigned staff will review the project and will refer it to affected service agencies (Xcel Energy,
water district, sewer district, etc.) and other City agencies (Public Works, Building Division,
etc.) for comment. After a 15 -day referral period, the case manager will forward all comments to
the applicant.
Modifications to the subdivision plat may be required as a result of these comments. The
applicant must address all comments and resubmit relevant documents. This may occur several
times before scheduling a public hearing.
After all comments have been addressed, a public hearing before Planning Commission will be
scheduled. Planning Commission will make a recommendation of approval, approval with
conditions or denial. The public hearing procedure is replicated before City Council for final
approval. Once approved, a blackline mylar copy of the plat must be recorded with the Jefferson
County Clerk and Recorder.
Next Steps
Approval of the ODP, SDP and subdivision applications does not mean that a building permit
has been issued. Once SDP and plat approval are attained, the applicant may submit a building
permit application with the Building Division.
Please be aware that this information is only a general overview of the process and submittal
requirements. There may be additional requirements specific to each case and the overall length
of the process can vary greatly depending on the circumstances of the case. As each planned
development application is different, the purpose of the aforementioned pre -application meeting
is for staff to review the conceptual plans and give the applicant more information specific to his
or her proposal.
Staff cannot predict the outcome of any land use development application. A favorable response
from 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 provide the best advice available given existing regulations, current policy, political climate
and information submitted.
Utility Providers
The City of Wheat Ridge is not a full-service city. The utility and service providers for this
property include

• Wheat Ridge Sanitation, phone: 303-424-7252
• Wheat Ridge Fire District #1, phone: 303-403-5900
All land use applications will be sent 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.

Subject: 2826 Eaton
Heads up on another property that went on the market recently and may be misadvertised.
2826 Eaton is in Lakeside Sub and is comprised of 9 lots that are each 25 feet in width. The northern two lots are vacant
and are zoned R-1 C, the southern 7 lots are zoned R-3 and include a single-family home and oversized garage. The
listing agent appears to have suggested that these structures could be demolished to make way for multi -family
apartments. I've informed a neighbor and potential purchaser that this is not the case:
• The northern two vacant lots could be sold for development of one (1) single-family home across the two lots.
• The southern R-3 portion cannot be consolidated for multifamily development because that is not the predominant
surrounding land use.
Thought this might save some homework time.
Thanks,

Cottage Home Concept
We at Squareroot have been interested in building a Cottage Home development for
years now. Small infill developments very similar to the proposed concept at 2826
Eaton St. have been successfully built in the greater Seattle area for almost 20 years
now by The Cottage Company (www.cottagecompany.com). The owners of
Squareroot have a background in urban planning and civil engineering. The idea of
small, energy efficient, high quality in -fill developments built to encourage
community and simplicity align with our company values.
Here are some reasons why we feel the Cottage Home concept would fit well on this
site:
• Well suited for empty nesters, single owners, and non-traditional families
• Small, well built houses designed to encourage community
• Energy efficient and built to last
• Provides a diversified housing stock for Wheat Ridge
• Provides density without attached multi -family buildings
• Density seems appropriate on this block (townhomes to the South,
commercial to the North, just South of 29th Ave.)
• Smart use for a great in -fill project
• Carefully thought out, well planned, sustainable community
Some other details of the Cottage Home concept as drawn are as follows:
• Conceptual houses are shown with a 30'x20' footprint
• Houses would be small at roughly 1,100 finished square feet each
• 2 bed, 1.5 bath houses
• Shared parking area - no garages or driveways
• Commonly held public areas outside the home
• Small HOA would take care of snow removal and landscaping
