PUBLIC HEARINGS AND ORDINANCES ON SECOND READING 2. Resolution 17-2017 -A resolution approving a Two-Lot Subdivision Plat with a Right-of-Way Vacation for property zoned Mixed Use Neighborhood (MU-N) and Mixed Use Commercial Transit Oriented Development (MU-C TOD) at 11818 W. 52"d Avenue (Case No. MS-17-03/Hance Ranch) The proposed platting area of 7.3 acres at 52"d & Tabor was originally platted in 1953 for 25 single family houses. Changes are requested to allow a mix of uses, densities and urban form that were approved when the property was rezoned in 2016. The proposed two plats will accommodate up to 80 townhomes on the northern plat, and 250 apartments or 60 townhomes on the southern plat. The original dedication for Taft Street is to be vacated and new right-of-way will be dedicated for 51st Avenue. Councilmember Mathews introduced Resolution 17-2017. Mayor Jay opened the public hearing and swore in the speakers. Staff presentation Meredith Reckert, senior planner, entered into the record the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, the case file and packet materials, and the contents of the digital presentation. She testified that all posting and notification requirements had been met. • The property was rezoned in 2016 from R-1 to MU-N and MUC-TOD. The 1953 platting and current adjacent uses were presented. A parking lot is planned to the west and the commuter rail station to the south. Photos of the property and adjacent properties were presented. • The concept plan shows the area being divided with a dedication of W 51st Ave. as a full width street. The northern plat (3.9 acres) will be the MU-N; the southern plot (2.5 acres) will be the MU-C TOD. • A previously planned Taft Street and easements will be vacated. • Ms. Reckert testified the proposed platting is consistent with the City's guiding documents --the NW Subarea Plan and the Bicycle/Pedestrian Circulation Plan. • Ms. Reckert explained how the R-0-W Vacation Criteria are met by this vacation. • She outlined the process 1) Rezoning approved by City Council in August, 2016; 2) Concept plan approved by staff in March; 3) Plat application (this hearing): no concerns from city departments or agencies; Planning Commission recommended approval without conditions • Next Steps: Administrative approval of Site Development Plan; Public hearings for a Plat (Planning Commission and City Council); Building permits Staff recommends approval. Council questions Councilmember Urban asked for an update for opening of the G Line. Mr. Goff reported that the FRA has allowed testing to begin. RTD still predicts an opening in 2017. There was no public comment. Mayor Jay closed the public hearing. Motion by Councilmember Mathews to approve Resolution No. 17-2017, a resolution approving a two-lot subdivision plat with a right-of-way vacation for property zoned Mixed Use Neighborhood (MU-N) and Mixed Use Commercial Transit Oriented Development (MU-C TOD) at 11818 W. 52"d Avenue (Case No. MS-17-03/Hance Ranch), for the following reasons: 1. City Council has conducted a proper public hearing meeting all public notice requirements, as required by Section 26-109 and 26-407 of the Code of Laws. 2. The requested subdivision has been reviewed by the Planning Commission, which has forwarded its recommendation for approval. 3. All requirements of the subdivision regulations have been met. 4. The proposed plat will facilitate redevelopment of the site consistent with the zone change and concept plan. 5. Utility districts can serve the property with improvements installed at the developer's expense. 6. The criteria used to evaluate a right-of-way vacation supports the request." seconded by Councilmember Wooden , carried 8-0 3. Council Bill 09-2017 -an ordinance amending Chapter 26 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws to regulate and allow Small Cell Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) Facilities During the 2017 session, the Colorado state legislature adopted House Bill 17-1193 pertaining to small cell wireless service infrastructure. As it pertains to local governments, the bill does two significant things: 1. Makes such facilities a use-by-right in all zone districts; and 2. Allows them to locate in public rights-of-way (ROW) and on utility and traffic signal poles in those locations, and in public utility easements, with some limitations and subject to City review and approval Councilmember Wooden introduced Council Bill 09-2017. City Clerk Shaver assigned Ordinance No. 1621. Mayor Jay opened the public hearing. Staff presentation - Ken Johnstone reported the law goes into effect July 1, 2017. This is a unique aspect of the technology. They are not antennas, but boosters to respond to consumer needs. • For facilities located on private property we will treat them like other facilities. • To minimize proliferation and visual impact of facilities in the public ROW some regulations have been created: a permitting process through Public Works; spacing requirements; prioritizing use of existing utility poles first; and any new poles must be similar in height, color and material. He advised that the Planning Commission recommends approval and noted some wordsmithing had been done since 1st reading. No intent is affected; it only provides clarification. The City Attorney noted that it is rare for the legislature to dictate what can go in public ROW, but they have; private facilities are not usually allowed in public ROW without a franchise agreement. Consequently he has addressed liability and indemnification. He also expects, as with any new industry, some tune-up will be necessary in a year or so. He asked to add to the 2nd reading amendments shown on the redline accompanying the staff report, amending code section 26.615.H.f (Indemnification) to add at line 2: "within a city-owned right-of-way or easement or", and add at line 6: "location or'', such changes to be deemed incorporated into the recommended motion for approval. Mr. Dahl clarified for Councilmember Pond that all liabilities, personal and property, are included in the indemnification. Mayor Jay closed the public hearing Motion by Councilmember Wooden to approve Council Bill 09-2017, an ordinance amending Chapter 26 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws to regulate and allow Small Cell Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) Facilities, as amended, and that it take effect immediately, seconded by Councilmember Duran; carried 8-0 ORDINANCES ON FIRST READING 4. Council Bill 10-2017 -An Ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at 6610 West 31st Avenue from Residential Two (R-2) to Residential-One C (R- 1C) (Case No. WZ-17-02/Gustafson) Current dozing accommodates one duplex. The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change to allow for the construction of two separate homes on small lots. Councilmember Hoppe introduced Council Bill 10-2017. Motion by Councilmember Hoppe to approve Council Bill 10-2017, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at 6610 West 31st Avenue from Residential Two (R-2) to Residential-One C (R-1C) on first reading, order it published, public hearing set for Monday, July 10, at 7:00 p.m. in City Council Chambers, and that it take effect 15 days after final publication, seconded by Councilmember Duran; carried 8-0. 5. Council Bill 11-2017 -An Ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at 6375 West 44th Avenue from Commercial-One (C-1) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) Case No. WZ-17-04/Conway The applicant is requesting approval of the zone change for the quarter acre parcel to allow residential use and the possibility of redevelopment as a live/work space. Any future redevelopment would be done through administrative review. Councilmember Davis introduced Council Bill 11-2017. Motion by Councilmember Davis to approve Council Bill 11-2017, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at 6375 West 44th Avenue from Commercial- One (C-1) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) on first reading, order it published, public hearing set for Monday, July 10, at 7:00 p.m. in City Council Chambers, and that it take effect 15 days after final publication, seconded by Councilmember Urban; carried 8-0. DECISIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND MOTIONS 6. Resolution 20-2017 - a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2017 General Fund Budget to reflect the approval of a Supplemental Budget Appropriation in the amount of $100,000 for the purpose of funding the Wheat Ridge Business District Facade Plus Grant Program Consensus was reached by City Council at the June 5, 2017 study session to bring forward a resolution for a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $100,000 for the Wheat Ridge Business District (WRBD) Facade Plus Grant Program. Councilmember Urban introduced Resolution 20-2017. At the Mayor's request Councilmember Urban read the resolution. The City Treasurer referred to the report he asked staff to prepare showing the permits, inspections, and applications. He pointed out that from May 8 to June 9 $336K was collected for roofing permits. This is likely 10% of the ultimate revenue from roof permits; extrapolated out this could be $3M in potential revenue. Also: • The Fruitdale project will need $830K, and one more invoice is to come. • The Funds report indicates that two $500K agency bonds will mature in the second half of the year. He and Mr. Goff have agreed to not renew them and bring the money back to the General Fund to be available for revenue shortfalls. • There will be some reduction in revenue when Walmart leaves, but the storm will generate significant revenue. It is a blessing and a curse. Council questions Councilmember Pond inquired about the $830K for Fruitdale as it relates to the reserve policy. Mr. Goff explained that the $2.6M in loans to Fruitdale was approved with the condition that our reserves not go below 17%. Right now we are slightly below 17% and cannot make our payment ($31 OK). He added that additional revenue has come in since the report was generated; we only need $660K to get back to 17%. Treasurer DiTullio pointed out the reserve policy requires a supermajority vote of Council to go below 17%. Councilmember Mathews noted the report only shows revenue. He asked about projections for costs of damages to City property and for extra staff. Mr. Goff reported CIRSA will cover our damages and we have a $1 OK deductible. For extra staff he estimates asking for $300K supplemental this year and $200K more next year. Councilmember Davis noted the decline in applications/funding to WRBD and asked if anyone has ever gotten turned down? If we don't do this now, will people get turned down? She elaborated on her views about investment bringing return and suggested thinking bigger for ESTIP programs. Councilmember Hoppe gave examples of fac;ade enhancements that have resulted in increasing revenue and noted the WRBD works carefully on that as part of their mission. She doesn't believe grants have ever been denied for lack of funds. Councilmember Fitzgerald stated denials are only based on lack of criteria and that BUBL, HIP loans and ESTIP are not done by the WRBD. • He's concerned this request was on the study session agenda before anyone on the WRBD knew about it. The WRBD did not discuss it in detail. They developed the concept, named it and appointed someone to create the rules and application process. The WR Fac;ade Plus program does not exist; it has no rules; and there is no demand for this. • He sees this is an add-on to storm damage -which is beyond the rules of WRBD. • He doesn't think we should tie up $100K when we can't pay our obligation to Fruitdale, we're losing Walmart revenue, and we need to save up for Wadsworth. Councilmember Wooden supports the concept, but has concerns about this expenditure in the face of losses in revenue. She thinks it's premature and suggested this be done in the future when there is a specific need. Motion by Councilmember Urban to approve Resolution 20-2017, a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2017 General Fund Budget to reflect the approval of a Supplemental Budget Appropriation in the amount of $100,000 for the purpose of funding the Wheat Ridge Business District Facade Plus Grant Program, seconded by Councilmember Duran. Mr. Dahl advised that this expenditure would take the reserves below 17%. Discussion ensued about how to allocate this sum vis a vis the reserve limit. Councilmember Urban withdrew his motion. Motion by Councilmember Urban to approve Resolution 20-2017, a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2017 General Fund Budget to reflect the approval of a Supplemental Budget Appropriation in the amount of $100,000 for the purpose of funding the Wheat Ridge Business District Facade Plus Grant Program when funds are available and do not place the reserves below 17%, seconded by Councilmember Duran. [Mr. Urban's new motion is the same as the original motion with two added conditions.] Councilmember Hoppe spoke about how the Facade Plus Program would be seed money to help upgrade businesses, and how other cities are doing this. Motion by Councilmember Hoppe to amend the amount to $50K; seconded by Councilmember Duran. Councilmembers Fitzgerald, Pond, Duran and Mathews shared their sentiments about the appropriation. Councilmember Hoppe's motion to amend carried 5-3, with Councilmembers Fitzgerald, Davis and Urban voting no. There was further discussion. Councilmember Urban noted that Council was informed of this need by the president of the WRBD in a May email. He believes it is just another tool to help our businesses thrive following the most severe storm in Colorado history. He suggested this is a pittance compared to what will return to our City coffers and that the goal and spirit is to have our businesses come back stronger. Councilmember Mathews expressed opposition, suggesting this is "not letting a good catastrophe go to waste" because no specifics are known. Councilmember Davis repeated her support for the businesses, but thinks a need should be shown first. Councilmember Hoppe noted the need for seed money to jump-start the project. Councilmember Duran said she believes this is a time to step up and take a leap of faith. She requested that the public be allowed to speak. Public Comment Joe DeMott, president of the WRBD, addressed Council's concerns. • WRBD's purpose is to upgrade aging commercial buildings and get higher sales tax. • Return on investment has generally been 5 times their investment. • They don't pay 100% of any product -only a small percentage of larger projects. • The WRBD voted unanimously at a meeting to have him ask for additional funding. • It is time sensitive because every business will be doing "something" in the next year. This way upgrades can be addressed while storm repairs are done. • None of these fund will go to storm repair. • A tiered program will be established. • They did have a time when there wasn't enough money (e.g. for 26th & Kipling). • They'd like to have the money in their coffers now so that if something comes in they can proceed immediately, without having to come back to Council for money -which can often be a deal breaker. The main motion, as amended, carried 5-3, with Councilmembers Mathews, Fitzgerald and Davis voting no. Treasurer DiTullio asked for direction about the payment for Fruitdale. Councilmember Pond received consensus to maintain the 17% reserve. 7. Resolution 21-2017 -A Resolution supporting Mayor Jay's participation in the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda, continued support of the Wheat Ridge Environmental Sustainability Committee's Mission, and a commitment to the goals of the Paris Agreement On June 1, 2017 President Donald Trump committed to pulling the US out of the Paris Climate Agreement. At the June 5 study session Councilmember Duran proposed continuing to honor and uphold the commitment to the goals of the Agreement. Following discussion there was consensus to proceed with a resolution supporting the mayor's signing of a mayoral climate compact that has been signed by 248 mayors across the country. Councilmember Duran introduced Resolution 21-2017. Mayor Jay reported Westminster, Golden and Arvada are considering this. Edgewater's mayor already signed. Public comment Bob Robinson (WR) spoke in favor of the resolution. He supports the Mayor hearing what other cities are doing. He referenced an opinion poll conducted by the Front Ranger Newsletter [of Golden] stating that 77% of the people want their home city to take part in organizations like this to learn how to combat the effects of climate change. Eric Wilson (WR) urged Council to support this resolution. Besides climate responsibility he believes energy efficiency is the largest wealth creator. He suggested it will have side benefits such as: Create businesses/jobs, save everyone money on utility bills, generate tax revenue, make us more self-sufficient, and contribute to a healthy and safe future. Motion by Councilmember Duran to approve Resolution 20-2017, a resolution supporting Mayor Jay's participation in the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda, continued support of the Wheat Ridge Environmental Sustainability Committee's Mission, and a commitment to the goals of the Paris Agreement, seconded by Councilmember Hoppe. Councilmember Mathews noted the Paris Agreement is a financial contract outlining who pays what. It does not fix global warming. It is political in its nature, addressing such issues as gender equity, biodiversity, poverty eradication, and migrants. He read several facts about how the agreement makes the US taxpayers pay hundreds of billions of dollars yearly to other countries for efforts they may not take. India, Russia and China can increase their pollution, and US manufacturing jobs will be lost. It is spending money, with no return for us. Councilmember Urban posed that this resolution is just a bandwagon. Council has already passed a resolution supporting the WRECS to address energy efficiency, sustainability and waste. Council's job is to focus on Wheat Ridge. The Paris Agreement has absolutely no tangible benefit to our citizens. He noted this is the third meeting in a row discussing climate change, when he believes we should be talking about how to help our residents and businesses recover from the storm. Discussing photo mid-roof inspections would help our citizens and actually lessen our carbon footprint. Councilmember Hoppe thinks talking about sustainability does move our city forward. She believes it's important to discuss how our city can be a better citizen of the planet and she's glad we've talked about it for three meetings in a row. Councilmember Wooden voiced support for addressing sustainability issues and listed several things that will be addressed to actually help our community; she also supports the Mayor if she wants to sign the National Mayor's Climate Agenda on her own. She will however vote against this resolution, because she sees it as symbolic and doesn't think it addresses needs in our city. She believes the Paris Agreement is just words, while we are going to be taking action. Councilmember Pond stated he is happy our Mayor cares about sustainability; he will vote for this resolution. The process may be imperfect, but this is what he wants for his city. Mayor Jay said this is a statement that we care about our environment and that we're open for economic development. She wants our city's name on the list. Councilmember Duran doesn't think this is a frivolous waste of time; she believes this does do something for our city. Council established the WESC; this will show that as elected officials we stand behind the WRESC, our state, our community. She believes this is just the right thing to do to make a difference. Councilmember Davis acknowledged there are flaws in it, but she supports it and appreciates Councilmember Duran and the Mayor Jay taking time to be part of this committee. She believes we can learn from other cities and mayors (e.g. Denver's trash program). Councilmember Fitzgerald thinks this is what we aspire to -to be a clean city. Motion carried 5-3, with Councilmember Wooden, Mathews and Urban voting no. CITY MANAGER'S MATTERS • Mr. Goff reported that Walmart is closing July 7, but is still considering locating to Clear Creek Crossing. The final meeting with their real estate committee is June 21. For that vacant site Regency has short and long term options. • He will be meeting with Homeland Security tomorrow to initiate a hail storm damage assessment to see if any loan assistance is available for businesses. • He reminded folks that Clear Creek is high. Be careful; it is dangerous. Swimming, rafting, and tubing are not allowed. Additional reminders will be sent out to citizens. CITY ATTORNEY'S MATTERS none ELECTED OFFICIALS' MATTERS Treasurer DiTullio complimented staff for the implementation of the online application system for roofs. It was drafted by Planning Department staff members. It has really helped things at City Hall for waiting in line. He also noted the figures for permits he referenced earlier came from Planning and Zoning, not the tax division. Future reports will include numbers for the costs and contract labor. Clerk Shaver asked for wording for Mr. Urban's revised motion. Zachary Urban asked about changes to the roofing permit application policy made recently by the Chief Building Inspector. • Mr. Johnstone explained that initially online applications were suspended due to volume. After determining projected flow it made more sense to reverse course and take all roofing permit applications online. They won't have the usual turnover rate; turn-around time is currently 3-5 days for approval. When it's ready contractors are notified of a time window for pick up. Protocols are being adjusted as time goes by. • Councilmember Urban reported coming down at 6am to speak with contractors and appreciates the changes, but still has concerns about mid-roof inspections. Mr. Johnstone explained the flexibility that has been implemented. Mr. Urban asked staff to consider implementing a mid-roof inspection affidavit to be accompanied with geo-tagged photographs. He provided a sample of the affidavit to Council. Roofers pass tests and are licensed. Other cities do this. Using this technology would save time and costs for inspectors running around town. He's also concerned about people who may forego the permit process and end up with no mid-roof inspection (or any inspection) at all. • He read a letter he sent to Gov. Hickenlooper asking what assistance is available for storm repair, including the possibility of a declaration of disaster. This prompted the contact from Homeland Security and he appreciates staff jumping on the assessment process to make sure all bases are covered. • He thanked Commander Mark Cooney for all his years of service for the City. Ken Johnstone addressed the suggestion of mid-roof inspection affidavits. He gave several reasons that illustrated why he thinks there is significant value-added to the homeowner to have mid-roof inspections and believes they are worth the fee. He thinks their flexibility allows for expeditious work on the part of the roofers. He understands that roofers would like to eliminate the mid-roof, but his personal opinion is that this is an important time to have the mid-roof inspections because almost every roof in the city is being replaced. Next-day inspections are still being done. Kristi Davis asked for the number of permits in 2009 and for this event. Ken Johnstone reported there were about 3, 700+ residential re-roofs in 2009; they estimate maybe 6- 8, 000 this time, but don't really know. We have 13, 700 residential units; about 8,000 are single family and duplexes; the balance is multi-family. Added to that are commercial structures. Tim Fitzgerald congratulated the Parks Department for being one of four finalists for 'best parks district' in the country. Larry Mathews thanked Mr. Johnstone for the memos updating Council on efforts in building department. It keeps everyone on the same page and provides information they can pass on to constituents. Genevieve Wooden thanked the building division for all their work. -She thanked everyone who came to the Criterium, WR Cyclery for sponsoring it, and Localworks for putting it on.
