Dear Ms. Reckert,
I'm sorry I missed the Council meeting on January 23, 2017 but I had a family emergency.
I would like to voice my opinion against having a car dealership at 9160 W. 44th Ave.
There is already a car dealership in the next block to the West and another one on the corner of 44th and
Kipling.
I think turning 44th ave into a place of car dealerships is bad planning. It will soon look like Colfax past
Denver West. If they want to have a car dealership, it would be a better idea to move to area like this area
instead of a semi -residential area like 44th between Wadsworth and Kipling.

ISSUE: "
The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow a vehicle sales
facility at 9160 W. 44`h Avenue. The property is zoned Commercial -One (C-1).
This case was initiated as an administrative review; however, a written objection to the
application was received during the public notice period. When objections are received, the
special use is required to be considered by City Council at a public hearing.
PRIOR ACTION:
There has been no previous action by the City concerning the property.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
One-time fees in the amount of $300 were submitted with the application.
BACKGROUND:
The property is located on the south side of 44`h Avenue between Field Street and Garrison
Street. According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the existing structure on the property was
Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors
January 23, 2017
Page 2
built in 1962, and sits on 39,857 square feet (0.92 acres) of land. The existing structure has been
divided into two units. The easternmost unit is occupied by Adolph's Automotive, an automotive
repair shop that has been at this location for at least 15 years. The westernmost unit, the unit of
interest for this application, has most recently been occupied by a second-hand store. Both units
have garage doors and storefronts.
The subject property is zoned Commercial -One (C-1), as are many of the nearby properties
located along 44th Avenue. There is also some other commercial zoning in the area including
Restricted Commercial (RC) and Commercial -Two (C-2). To the south the property borders the
City of Wheat Ridge's Anderson Park, which is zoned Public Facilities (PF). To the southwest of
the property is a residential neighborhood zoned Residential -Two (R-2) and Residential -Three
(R-3). These zone districts are also found to the north of 44th Avenue.
Access to the site is from West 44th Avenue with parking in front of the building. A drive from
the front parking lot extends to the south along the western side of the building into a large open
area to the rear of the structure. A portion of the area behind the building is paved and the rest is
gravel. Except for a small area of unmaintained landscaping measuring 10' x 20' at the northwest
corner of the site, the property is devoid of landscaping viewable from West 44th Avenue.
West 44th Avenue is classified as a minor arterial and carries more than 12,000 vehicles per day
(2009 count).
The applicant proposes to lease the westernmost unit and operate a used car dealership from the
space. The interior of the unit is planned to be a showroom and office. As the company's
inventory grows, the owners plan to utilize the western edge of the property for the parking of
for -sale vehicles. They are currently not planning to use the unpaved area in the rear of the
property, and will leave access open to the rear of the property for Adolph's Automotive. Before
the rear portion of the property can be used for parking and/or auto display, paving must be
completed.
This case has been through a standard referral process. All referral agencies are currently
serving the property or have no objections to the request.
A detailed staff report is attached for additional background on this application. The letter of
objection submitted regarding the application is attached to the staff report as Exhibit 7. Staff has
concluded that the objection is related more to the general state of West 44th Avenue than the
specific proposal. For this reason, staff is recommending approval of this request.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution No. 01-2017, a resolution approving a Special Use Permit to
allow a vehicle sales facility in a Commercial -One (C-1) zone district located at 9160 W. 40'

Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors Attachment 2
JURISDICTION:
The property is within the City of Wheat Ridge, and all notification and posting requirements have been
met, therefore, there is jurisdiction to make a decision regarding this case.
I. REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow a vehicle sales
facility in a Commercial -One (C-1) zone district.
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 1291, the Community Development Director has the ability to decide
upon applications for administrative special use approval, without a public hearing, provided the
following conditions are met:
1. A completed application package has been submitted and fee paid.
2. The Community Development Department has notified adjacent property owners by
letter and the site has been posted for at least ten (10) days.
3. No written objections have been received in such ten-day period.
4. The Director of Community Development concludes that the criteria for approval, as
set forth below, are substantially complied with and support the request.
The Community Development Director shall also decide the following:
1. Whether the SUP runs with the land in perpetuity.
2. Whether the SUP is personal to the applicant and may or may not be inherited.
3. Whether the SUP is granted only for a defined period, after which time the special
use shall expire unless renewed subject to all of the requirements of this section.
If written objections are submitted, the case shall be forwarded to City Council for a decision.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The property is located on the south side of 44th Avenue between Field Street and Garrison
Street. According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the existing structure on the property was
built in 1962, and sits on 39,857 square feet (0.92 acres) of land. The existing structure has been
divided into two units. Adolph's Automotive, an automotive repair shop, occupies the
easternmost unit. The westernmost unit, the unit of interest for this application, has most recently
been occupied by a second-hand store. Both units have garage doors and storefronts. (Exhibit 1,
Aerial photo)
The subject property is zoned Commercial -One (C-1), as are many of the nearby properties
located along 44th Avenue. There is also some other commercial zoning in the area including
Restricted Commercial (RC) and Commercial -Two (C-2). To the south the property borders the
City of Wheat Ridge's Anderson Park, which is zoned Public Facilities (PF). To the southwest of
the property is a residential neighborhood zoned Residential -Two (R-2) and Residential -Three
(R-3). These zone districts are also found to the north of 44th Avenue. (Exhibit 2, Zoning map)
Administrative review
Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors
Access to the site is from West 44`h Avenue with parking in front of the building. A drive from
the front parking lot extends to the south along the western side of the building into a large open
area to the rear of the structure. A portion of the area behind the building is paved and the rest is
gravel. Except for a small area of unmaintained landscaping measuring 10' x 20' at the northwest
corner of the site, the property is devoid of landscaping viewable from West 44th Avenue.
(Exhibit 3, Site photos)
West 44th Avenue is classified as a minor arterial and carries over 12,000 vehicles per day (2009
count).
III. CASE ANALYSIS
The applicant proposes to lease the westernmost unit and operate a used car dealership from the
space. The interior of the unit is planned to be a showroom and office. As the company's
inventory grows, the owners proposed to utilize the western edge of the property for the parking
of for -sale vehicles. They are currently not planning to use the unpaved area in the rear of the
property, and will leave access open to the rear of the property for Adolph's Automotive. Before
the rear portion of the property can be used for parking and/or auto display, paving must be
completed. (Exhibit 4, Site plan)
IV. SPECIAL USE PERMIT CRITERIA
Before an administrative special use is approved, the applicant shall show and the Community
Development Director shall find that the majority of the proposed special use criteria have been
met. Staff provides the following review and analysis of the SUP criteria. The applicant has
submitted an analysis of the criteria. (Exhibit 5, SUP criteria)
1. The special use will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare,
safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood.
The property has been used commercially since the early 1970's and no physical
changes are proposed. The new use will not have a detrimental effect on the general
health, welfare, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood. West 44th has adequate capacity to handle the traffic generated by the
business.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
2. The special use will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by
virtue of physical or operational characteristics.
The request will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood if properly
operated as indicated by the site plan and proposed narrative.
Administrative review
Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
3. The special use will not create adverse impacts greater than allowed under
existing zoning for the property.
Staff has not identified any adverse impacts greater than are allowed under the existing
zoning. The list of C-1 permitted uses allows a variety of commercial operations many
of which could be more impactive than the proposal. Those would include regional
commercial businesses such as 24-hour grocery or convenience stores, bars, restaurants
and banks.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
4. The special use will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or
unsafe parking, loading, service of internal traffic conflicts to the detriment of
persons whether on or off the site.
West 44`h Avenue is designated as a minor arterial and has adequate capacity to serve
any additional traffic generated to and from the site. Adequate parking is provided for
the building and display lot so the new use will be accommodated.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
5. The property is appropriately designed, including setbacks, heights, parking, bulk,
buffering, screening and landscaping, so as to be in harmony and compatible with
the character of the surrounding areas and neighborhood, especially with adjacent
properties.
All structures and property improvements are already in place. No changes to the
exterior of the building are being proposed. As a result, all setbacks from surrounding
structures will remain the same and the structure height will remain unchanged. The
impervious surfaces will not be changed so site drainage will continue to flow as it does
today. If the applicant wishes to expand the vehicle display area in the back, additional
paving would be required.
Section 26-628.E. of the zoning and development code requires that a 10' wide
landscaped buffer be provided between vehicle sales lots and the abutting street. Staff
concludes that this would be impractical based on the location of the existing curb cuts
to the property. It would also displace area in front of the building needed for parking
and circulation. Instead, Staff recommends the landscape island at the northwest corner
of the site be re-established with low -growing shrubs and ground cover.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
6. The special use will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities,
parks, schools and other public facilities and services.
Administrative review
Case No. SUP-I6-04/Elevated Motors
All utility agencies are currently serving the property and based on referral responses
received, will continue to do so. There will be no impact on parks, utilities or other
public facilities or services.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
7. There is a history of compliance by the applicant and/or property owner with
Code requirements and prior conditions, if any, regarding the subject property.
According to code enforcement records, there have been no violations in the past four
years.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
8. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set
forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual.
The existing structures are already in place and the special use will not trigger
compliance with the ASDM
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
A meeting for neighborhood input was held on October 18, 2016. There was one attendee from
the neighborhood who was in favor of the request. (Exhibit 6, Neighborhood meeting notes)
In response to the neighborhood meeting notice, a letter of objection was received from the
property owners at 4370 Garland Street. Section 26-114.C.5.c. of the zoning code indicates that
if objections are received regarding an SUP, they "must be directly related to the concerns
regarding the request. General objections regarding existing land use condition or issues not
related to the request will not be considered grounds for objection." (Exhibit 7, Letter of
objection)
The letter of objection indicates that the SUP should not be approved because there is another
vehicle sales lot located at 9200 W. 44th Avenue. This facility is located roughly 350 feet to the
west. Another vehicle sales facility is located at 8935 W. 44th, roughly 600' to the east of the
subject site. The objectors have opined that this use will be a detriment to 44th Avenue and will
contribute towards deterioration of the area.
West 44th Avenue between Everett and Kipling has historically been a hub for vehicle sales and
repair operations. Many of these buildings and/or businesses have been in place since the
1940's and 1950's. It would appear that the subject tenant space was at one time used for
vehicle repair due to the existing garage door on the front side of the building. The tenant space
adjoining the subject tenant space is currently used for auto repair.
Administrative review
Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors
Other businesses along this stretch of 44' which may be considered "undesirable" include
building and landscape contractors and businesses that have unscreened outside storage or other
code violations. There has also been a general lack of maintenance and investment by property
owners that has contributed to the "industrial" look of the area.
This portion of West 40' Avenue does not have the same characteristics as other streets in
Wheat Ridge such as West 38`h Avenue or 20 Avenue between Fenton and Chase. To suggest
that 44`x' become a destination shopping area is unrealistic at this time without City efforts such
as creation of a subarea plan or specific investment strategies. Staff would note that the 44'
Avenue corridor has been a target for code enforcements efforts as part of the City's TLC
program.
The final comment is in regard to the property's current tenant who has used the front portion of
the property illegally as a display area for second-hand retail sales. Again, they are speculating
that the new tenant will operate his business similar to the existing tenant.
Staff concludes that the objections are not directly related to the applicant's operation and are in
general, observations of other undesirable conditions on 44`x' Avenue. For these reasons, Staff
continues to support the proposed SUP.
Staff further concludes that improvements and operation consistent with the SUP application
should be a benefit to the area.
There were no positive or negative responses to the administrative posting and noticing for the
SUP.
VI. AGENCY REFERRALS
All affected service agencies were contacted regarding the ability to serve the property. The
following responses were received:
Arvada Fire Protection District. Can continue to serve the property.
Clear Creek Valley Sanitation District: Is already serving the property and has no objections to
the proposed Special Use.
Valley Water District: Has no concerns and can continue to serve the property.
Wheat Ridge Police Department. Has no concerns with the project.
Wheat Ridge Public Works: Has no concerns regarding traffic or drainage.
All other affected agencies did not respond.
VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Administrative review 6
Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors
Having found the application for Case No. SUP -16-04, a Special Use Permit to allow a vehicle
sales lot in a Commercial -One (C-1) zone district on property located at 9160 W. 44"' Avenue, to
be complete and in compliance with the majority of the applicable review criteria, staff is
recommending APPROVAL of the Special Use request based on the following findings of fact:
1. The request for administrative SUP meets all applicable conditions as required by Section
26-114 of the City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws.
2. The request will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, safety, welfare or
convenience of the public in the area.
3. The request will not adversely affect the adequate light and air, nor cause significant
water or noise pollution, or cause drainage problems for the general area.
4. The request will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or unsafe
parking, loading, service or internal traffic conflicts to the detriment of persons whether
on or off the site.
5. The request will not impact the physical character or contribute to blight in the area.
6. The request will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks,
schools, and other public facilities and services.
7. Although an objection to the Special Use application was received, Staff has concluded
that it does not relate directly to the proposed operation but rather to the current
conditions along West 44t' Avenue.
With the following conditions:
1. All vehicles on the site must be parked on a paved surface.
2. In lieu of a landscaped strip along 44th Avenue, Staff recommends that the landscape
island at the northwest corner of the site be re-established with low -growing shrubs and
ground cover.
3. The grant of use shall run with the property.
4. The Special Use Permit shall comply with all material representations, commitments and
operational restrictions as depicted in the application materials and documents maintained
in the case file in the Community Development Department.

Robert and Vicki Holland
Address approx. 401 and Garland
Citizens of Wheat Ridge, CO
We are sorry to have missed the meeting about the proposed used car lot at 9160 W. 441h put
forth by Elevated Motors.
We are against this idea. There is already a used car lot less than a block aw y on the comer of 44th
and Garland.
If this is allowed 44* nrill be on its way to looking like South Santa Fe. Junky and industrial
instead of a nice neighborhood for shopping.
Even as this request is being filed, there are already used cars presently at this proposed location
and they look like a bunch of old jiA*W and not the least bit flattering to the neighborhood.
Also. the "antiques" presently being sold at this location are often junky looking as well
The lot is too small to be a used car lot
We would really rather see the neighborhood go up with new businesses that «rill contribute to
the esthetic look and feel of a nice place that people would enjoy walking around in and
shopping in_ We would like to see more stores like Young's Market on the comer of 446 and
Garland.

Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors
JURISDICTION:
The property is within the City of Wheat Ridge, and all notification and posting requirements have been
met, therefore, there is jurisdiction to make a decision regarding this case.
I. REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow a vehicle sales
facility in a Commercial -One (C-1) zone district.
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 1291, the Community Development Director has the ability to decide
upon applications for administrative special use approval, without a public hearing, provided the
following conditions are met:
1. A completed application package has been submitted and fee paid.
2. The Community Development Department has notified adjacent property owners by
letter and the site has been posted for at least ten (10) days.
3. No written objections have been received in such ten-day period.
4. The Director of Community Development concludes that the criteria for approval, as
set forth below, are substantially complied with and support the request.
The Community Development Director shall also decide the following:
1. Whether the SUP runs with the land in perpetuity.
2. Whether the SUP is personal to the applicant and may or may not be inherited.
3. Whether the SUP is granted only for a defined period, after which time the special
use shall expire unless renewed subject to all of the requirements of this section.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The property is located on the south side of 44th Avenue between Field Street and Garrison
Street. According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the existing structure on the property was
built in 1962, and sits on 39,857 square feet (0.92 acres) of land. The existing structure has been
divided into two units. The easternmost unit is occupied by Adolph's Automotive, an automotive
repair shop. The westernmost unit, the unit of interest for this application, has most recently been
occupied by a second-hand store. Both units have garage doors and storefronts. (Exhibit 1, Aerial
photo)
The subject property is zoned Commercial -One (C-1), as are many of the nearby properties
located along 44th Avenue. There is also some other commercial zoning in the area including
Restricted Commercial (RC) and Commercial -Two (C-2). To the south the property borders the
City of Wheat Ridge's Anderson Park, which is zoned Public Facilities (PF). To the southwest of
the property is a residential neighborhood zoned Residential -Two (R-2) and Residential -Three
(R-3). These zone districts are also found to the north of 44th Avenue. (Exhibit 2, Zoning map)
Administrative review
Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors
Access to the site is from West 44th Avenue with parking in front of the building. A drive from
the front parking lot extends to the south along the western side of the building into a large open
area to the rear of the structure. A portion of the area behind the building is paved and the rest is
gravel. Except for a small area of unmaintained landscaping measuring 10' x 20' at the northwest
corner of the site, the property is devoid of landscaping viewable from West 44th Avenue.
(Exhibit 3, Site photos)
West 44th Avenue is classified as a minor arterial and carries over 12,000 vehicles per day (2009
count).
III. CASE ANALYSIS
The applicant proposes to lease the westernmost unit and operate a used car dealership from the
space. The interior of the unit is planned to be a showroom and office. As the company's
inventory grows, the owners proposed to utilize the western edge of the property for the parking
of for -sale vehicles. They are currently not planning to use the unpaved area in the rear of the
property, and will leave access open to the rear of the property for Adolph's Automotive. Before
the rear portion of the property can be used for parking and/or auto display, paving must be
completed. (Exhibit 4, Site plan)
IV. SPECIAL USE PERMIT CRITERIA
Before an administrative special use is approved, the applicant shall show and the Community
Development Director shall find that the majority of the proposed special use criteria have been
met. Staff provides the following review and analysis of the SUP criteria. The applicant has
submitted an analysis of the criteria. (Exhibit 5, SUP criteria)
1. The special use will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare,
safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood.
The property has been used commercially since the early 1970's and no physical
changes are proposed. The new use will not have a detrimental effect on the general
health, welfare, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood. West 44th has adequate capacity to handle the traffic generated by the
business.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
2. The special use will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by
virtue of physical or operational characteristics.
The request will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood if properly
operated as indicated by the site plan and proposed narrative.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
Administrative review
Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors
3. The special use will not create adverse impacts greater than allowed under
existing zoning for the property.
Staff has not identified any adverse impacts greater than are allowed under the existing
zoning. The list of C-1 permitted uses allows a variety of commercial operations many
of which could be more impactive than the proposal. Those would include regional
commercial businesses such as 24-hour grocery or convenience stores, bars, restaurants
and banks.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
4. The special use will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or
unsafe parking, loading, service of internal traffic conflicts to the detriment of
persons whether on or off the site.
West 44`h Avenue is designated as a minor arterial and has adequate capacity to serve
any additional traffic generated to and from the site. Adequate parking is provided for
the building and display lot so the new use will be accommodated.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
5. The property is appropriately designed, including setbacks, heights, parking, bulk,
buffering, screening and landscaping, so as to be in harmony and compatible with
the character of the surrounding areas and neighborhood, especially with adjacent
properties.
All structures and property improvements are already in place. No changes to the
exterior of the building are being proposed. As a result, all setbacks from surrounding
structures will remain the same and the structure height will remain unchanged. The
impervious surfaces will not be changed so site drainage will continue to flow as it does
today. If the applicant wishes to expand the vehicle display area in the back, additional
paving would be required.
Section 26-628.E. of the zoning and development code requires that a 10' wide
landscaped buffer be provided between vehicle sales lots and the abutting street. Staff
concludes that this would be impractical based on the location of the existing curb cuts
to the property. It would also displace area in front of the building needed for parking
and circulation. Instead, Staff recommends the landscape island at the northwest corner
of the site be re-established with low -growing shrubs and ground cover.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
6. The special use will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities,
parks, schools and other public facilities and services.
Administrative review 4
Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors
All utility agencies are currently serving the property and based on referral responses
received, will continue to do so. There will be no impact on parks, utilities or other
public facilities or services.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
7. There is a history of compliance by the applicant and/or property owner with
Code requirements and prior conditions, if any, regarding the subject property.
According to code enforcement records, there have been no violations in the past four
years.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
8. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set
forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual.
The existing structures are already in place and the special use will not trigger
compliance with the ASDM
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
A meeting for neighborhood input was held on October 18, 2016. There was one attendee from
the neighborhood who was in favor of the request. (Exhibit 6, Neighborhood meeting notes)
In response to the neighborhood meeting notice, a letter of objection was received from the
property owners at 4370 Garland Street. Section 26-114.C.5.c. of the zoning code indicates that
if objections are received regarding an SUP, they "must be directly related to the concerns
regarding the request. General objections regarding existing land use conditioner issues not
related to the request will not be considered grounds for objection." (Exhibit 7, Letter of
objection)
The letter of objection indicates that the SUP should not be approved because there is another
vehicle sales lot located at 9200 W. 44th Avenue. This facility is located roughly 350 feet to the
west. Another vehicle sales facility is located at 8935 W. 44th, roughly 600' to the east of the
subject site. The objectors have opined that this use will be a detriment to 44th Avenue and will
contribute towards deterioration of the area.
West 44th Avenue between Everett and Kipling has historically been a hub for vehicle sales and
repair operations. Many of these buildings and/or businesses have been in place since the
1940's and 1950's. It would appear that the subject tenant space was at one time used for
vehicle repair due to the existing garage door on the front side of the building. The tenant space
adjoining the subject tenant space is currently used for auto repair.
Administrative review
Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors
Other businesses along this stretch of 40 which may be considered "undesirable" include
building and landscape contractors and businesses that have unscreened outside storage or other
code violations. There has also been a general lack of maintenance and investment by property
owners that has contributed to the "industrial" look of the area.
This portion of West 44th Avenue does not have the same characteristics as other streets in
Wheat Ridge such as West 38th Avenue or 291h Avenue between Fenton and Chase. To suggest
that 44th become a destination shopping area is unrealistic at this time without City efforts such
as creation of a subarea plan or specific investment strategies.
The final comment is in regard to the property's current tenant who has used the front portion of
the property illegally as a display area for second-hand retail sales. Again, they are speculating
that the new tenant will operate his business similar to the existing tenant.
Staff concludes that the objections are not directly related to the applicant's operation and are in
general, observations of other undesirable conditions on 441h Avenue. For these reasons, Staff
concludes that the objection is not legitimate.
Staff further concludes that improvements and operation consistent with the SUP application
should be a benefit to the area.
There were no positive or negative responses to the administrative posting and noticing for the
SUP.
VI. AGENCY REFERRALS
All affected service agencies were contacted regarding the ability to serve the property. The
following responses were received:
Arvada Fire Protection District. Can continue to serve the property.
Clear Creek Valley Sanitation District. Is already serving the property and has no objections to
the proposed Special Use.
Valley Water District: Has no concerns and can continue to serve the property.
Wheat Ridge Police Department: Has no concerns with the project.
Wheat Ridge Public Works: Has no concerns regarding traffic or drainage.
All other affected agencies did not respond.
VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Having found the application for Case No. SUP -16-04, a Special Use Permit to allow a vehicle
sales lot in a Commercial -One (C-1) zone district on property located at 9160 W. 44th Avenue, to
Administrative review
Case No. SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors
be complete and in compliance with the majority of the applicable review criteria, staff is
recommending APPROVAL of the Special Use request based on the following findings of fact:
1. The request for administrative SUP meets all applicable conditions as required by Section
26-114 of the City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws.
2. The request will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, safety, welfare or
convenience of the public in the area.
3. The request will not adversely affect the adequate light and air, nor cause significant
water or noise pollution, or cause drainage problems for the general area.
4. The request will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or unsafe
parking, loading, service or internal traffic conflicts to the detriment of persons whether
on or off the site.
5. The request will not impact the physical character or contribute to blight in the area.
6. The request will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks,
schools, and other public facilities and services.
7. Although an objection to the Special Use application was received, Staff has concluded
that it does not relate directly to the proposed operation but rather to the current
conditions along West 44th Avenue.
With the following conditions:
1. All vehicles on the site must be parked on a paved surface.
2. In lieu of a landscaped strip along 44th Avenue, Staff recommends that the landscape
island at the northwest corner of the site be re-established with low -growing shrubs and
ground cover.
3. The grant of use shall run with the property.
4. The Special Use Permit shall comply with all material representations, commitments and
operational restrictions as depicted in the application materials and documents maintained
in the case file in the Community Development Department.

The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
In addition to the applicant and staff the son of the property owner was in attendance, Ken
One additional member of the public attended the meeting: Brad Baker.
Mr. Baker lives in the neighborhood to the west of the subject property, and after learning about
the applicant's proposal: expressed he had no concerns. Mr_ Pg* stated the proposal is O
use for the property.
Staff discussed the site, its zoning and proposed land use.
The applicant and members of the public were informed of the process for the Special Use
Permit.
The members of the public were informed of their opportunity to make comments during the
process and at the public hearing, if required_
The follov.-ing issues were discussed regarding the SUP request and proposed development:
Will the rear portion of the lot be paved? And will there be large lights placed in that area?
The applicant's stated they are just starting out and N - will utilize the front and side portion of
the property. If in the future they grow they may consider growth into the rear of the property,
but none is proposed right now.
Staff added that adding impervious materials (such as pavement) to the rear of the
property, Public Works drainage requirements would likely be triggered. Expansion of the
Special Use and the property would require a Site Plan Review and re-application for the
Special Use Permit.
Aside from the neighbors at the meeting, staff received no comment from others in the area
regarding the proposal_

Exhibit 7, Letter of Objection
Robert and Vicki Holland
Address approx. 446' and Garland
Citizens of Wheat Ridge, CO
We are somr to have missed the meeting about the proposed used car lot at 9160 W. 44,h put
forth by Elevated Motors.
We are against this idea. There is already a used car lot less than a block away on the corner of 44th
and Garland_
If this is allowed 441h«11ll be on its way to looking like South Santa Fe_ Junky and industrial
instead of a nice neighborhood for shopping.
Even as this request is being filed, there are already used cars presently at this proposed location
and they look like a bunch of old jw*,m and not the least bit flattering to the neighborhood.
Also, the "antiques" presently being sold at this location are often junky looking as well
The lot is too small to be a used car lot
We would really rather see the neighborhood go up AN ith neje businesses that will contribute to
the esthetic look and feel of a nice place that people would enjoy walking around in and
shopping in_ We would like to see more stores like Young's Market on the comer of 44th and
Garland.

Ms. Reckert:
The referral referenced above was reviewed for compliance with the 2012 International Fire Code
(IFC) as adopted by the City of Wheat Ridge. The Fire District has the following comments
regarding this development plan.
1. Fire protection service
This parcel is currently within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Arvada Fire Protection
District (AFPD). The fire protection services for this parcel are provided primarily by AFPD
Fire Station #2 located at 5250 Oak Street.
2. Emergency Vehicle Access
Fire apparatus access shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 26 feet and an
unobstructed vertical clearance of 13 feet 6 inches. The plans provided indicate that the

FROM: Dave Brossman, Development Review Engineer
DATE: November 10, 2016
SUBJECT: SUP-16-04/Elevated Motors, 9160 W. 44th Avenue
I have completed my review for the request for a Special Use Permit at the property at 9160
W. 44th Avenue to allow an automobile sales facility in a Commercial -One (C-1) zone
district received on November 7, 2016, and I have the following comments:
1. It does not appear that the current request requiring a Special Use Permit entails
any site changes which could trigger traffic or drainage requirements. Therefore,
Public Works has no comments at this time.
2. The applicant needs to be aware however that if the area on, the southerly portion
of tfie subject property is ever paved the property will need to adhere to the Site
Drainage Requirements which may require an engineered detention/water quality
facility.

Applicant: Chris Connroy
Sean Connroy
Applicant Present? Yes
Existing Zoning: Commercial -One (C-1)
Existing Comp. Plan: Neighborhood Commercial Corridor
Existing Site Conditions: The property is located along 44th Avenue between Field Street and Garrison

Ridge's Anderson Park, which is zoned Public Facilities (PF). To the southwest of the property is a
residential neighborhood zoned Residential -Two (R-2) and Residential -Three (R-3). These zone districts
are also found to the north of 44th Avenue.
According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the existing structure on the property was built in 1962, and
sits on 39,857 square feet (0.92 acres) of land. The existing structure has been divided into two units.
The easternmost unit is occupied by Adolph's Automotive, an automotive repair shop. The westernmost
unit, the unit of interest for this pre -application meeting, is currently occupied by Gently Used, a second-
hand store. Both units have garage doors and storefronts.
Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal: The applicant proposes to lease the westernmost unit,
currently home to Gently Used. The applicant plans to operate a used car dealership from the space. The
interior of the unit is planned to be a showroom and office. As the company's inventory grows, the
owners proposed to utilize the western edge of the property for the parking or for -sale vehicles. They are
currently not planning to use the unpaved area in the rear of the property, and will leave access open to

The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
• In addition to the applicant and staff, the son of the property owner was in attendance, Ken Perko.
One additional member of the public attended the meeting: Brad Baker.
• Mr. Baker lives in the neighborhood to the west of the subject property, and after learning about the

the property.
• Staff discussed the site, its zoning and proposed land use.
• The applicant and members of the public were informed of the process for the Special Use Permit.
• The members of the public were informed of their opportunity to make comments during the process
and at the public hearing, if required.
The following issues were discussed regarding the SUP request and proposed development:
Will the rear portion of the lot be paved? And will there be large lights placed in that area?
The applicant's stated they are just starting out and will utilize the front and side portion of the
property. If in the future they grow they may consider growth into the rear of the property, but
none is proposed right now.
Staff added that adding impervious materials (such as pavement) to the rear of the property,
Public Works drainage requirements would likely be triggered. Expansion of the Special Use
and the property would require a Site Plan Review and re-application for the Special Use
Permit.
Aside from the neighbors at the meeting, staff received no comment from others in the area regarding
the proposal.

Address approx. 44th and Garland
Citizens of Wheat Ridge, CO
We are sorry to have missed the meeting about the proposed used car lot at 9160 W. 44th
put forth by Elevated Motors.
We are against this idea. There is already a used car lot less than a block away on the corner of
44th and Garland.
If this is allowed 44th will be on its way to looking like South Santa Fe. Junky and industrial
instead of a nice neighborhood for shopping.
Even as this request is being filed, there are already used cars presently at this proposed
location and they look like a bunch of old junkers and not the least bit flattering to the
neighborhood. Also, the "antiques" presently being sold at this location are often junky
looking as well
The lot is too small to be a used car lot
We would really rather see the neighborhood go up with new businesses that will contribute to
the esthetic look and feel of a nice place that people would enjoy walking around in and
shopping in. We would like to see more stores like Young's Market on the corner of 44th and
Garland.
Proposal Narrative of 9160 W 44th Ave, Wheat Ridge, Co 80033
Elevated Motors LLC ran by Sean ConnRoy and Chris ConnRoy are
looking to open a used car dealership at this location.
We are looking to use this space as a showroom and an office for our
business. We are looking to use the paved side space and interior for
inventory storage. The front area will be used as parking for customers.
The interior of the building will just be cleaned up and a new coat of paint
on the wall and floor. We are looking to keep an open floor plan but will
consider adding a small office to the space depending on how the layout is.
We are also planning on paving the rear area to expand our inventory
within 2 years pending owner and city approval.
Thank you,

PRE -APPLICATION MEETING SUMMARY
Meeting Date: September 22, 2016
Applicant: Chris ConnRoy
Attending Staff: Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner
Lauren Mikulak, Senior Planner
Lisa Ritchie, Planner II
Zack Wallace, Planning Technician
Specific Site Location: 9160 W. 44th Avenue
Existing Zoning: Commercial -One (C-1)
Existing Comp. Plan: Neighborhood Commercial Corridor; Neighborhood Commercial
Center
Existing Site Conditions:
The property is located along 44th Avenue between Field Street and Garrison Street. The subject
property is zoned Commercial -One (C-1), as are many of the nearby properties located along 44th
Avenue. There is also some other commercial zoning in the area including Restricted Commercial
(RC) and Commercial -Two (C-2). To the south the property borders the City of Wheat Ridge's
Anderson Park, which is zoned Public Facilities (PF). To the southwest of the property is a residential
neighborhood zoned Residential -Two (R-2) and Residential -Three (R-3). These zone districts are also
found to the north of 44th Avenue.
According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the existing structure on the property was built in 1962,
and sits on 39,857 square feet (0.92 acres) of land. The existing structure has been divided into two
units. The easternmost unit is occupied by Adolph's Automotive, an automotive repair shop. The
westernmost unit, the unit of interest for this pre -application meeting, is currently occupied by Gently
Used, a second-hand store. Both units have garage doors and storefronts.
Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal:
The applicant proposes to lease the westernmost unit, currently home to Gently Used. The applicant
plans to operate a used car dealership from the space. The interior of the unit is planned to be a
showroom and office. As the company's inventory grows, the owners proposed to utilize the western
edge of the property for the parking or for -sale vehicles. They are currently not planning to use the
unpaved area in the rear of the property, and will leave access open to the rear of the property for
Adolph's Automotive.
N
Will a neighborhood meeting need to be held prior to application submittal?
This proposal requires a Special Use Permit, which does require a neighborhood meeting.
Planning comments:
The following items were discussed based on the applicant's proposal:
Zoning & Use
The zoning is Commercial -One. This zone district allows for a wide range of commercial land uses
including office, general business, retail sales, and service establishments. Many automotive related
uses, including automobile sales, are considered special uses in the C-1 zone district, and require a
special use permit in order to allow Staff to evaluate the impacts of the use on the surrounding
neighborhoods.
Development Standards
If the storage of vehicles is contained to the interior of the structure, Section 26-628, which requires
additional landscape buffers, does not apply. When Elevated Motors begins storing vehicle inventory
outside, Section 26-628 will apply.
Utility Providers
The City of Wheat Ridge is not a full-service city. The utility and service providers for this property
include:
Arvada Fire Protection District, phone: 303424-3012
Valley Water District, phone: 303424-9661
Clear Creek Valley Sanitation District, phone: 3034244194
All land use applications will be sent out on referral to these agencies for comment; however, staff
encourages potential applicants to contact service districts ahead of time. This may help to understand
any design or infrastructure requirements and potential costs associated with the proposed project.
Parking and Access
Parking along the western edge of the property is allowed so long as a 2 -way drive aisle of 22 feet
wide can be maintained between the parking spaces and the structure. Minimum parking space
dimensions are as follows:
Minimum parking standards for parking spaces and aisle dimensions are as follows:

Future Expansion
Future expansion into the unpaved area of the site may trigger drainage requirements. Adding up to
3,000 square feet of impervious material (i.e. buildings, pavement) is acceptable. Adding more than
3,000 square feet of impervious material will trigger additional requirements by the Public Works
Department. More information on drainage requirements can be found on the City's Civil Engineering
Resources weboage.
Code Enforcement
Staff will conduct a site visit and forward a list of any code violations currently existing on the
property to the applicant. The building owner will need to address the issues before any new tenants
will be able to begin operating from the site.
Application
In addition to the application materials listed in an attached checklist, Staff requests a blacklined,
scaled site plan to be submitted. This site plan will include building and parking location on the site,
scaled to accurately depict the use of the site.
Building Division comments:
New construction will require building permits, and the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy upon
completion of the project, and only after passing all of the required inspections.
The City has adopted and currently enforces the 2012 Edition of the International Codes and the 2014
Edition of the National Electric Code. The City uses the ANSI 117.1-2009 Standard in determining
requirements related to accessibility.
The sales of automobiles will not change the occupancy code from what it is currently, which means
intensive upgrades to the structure are not necessary.
Public Works comments:
Public Works was not present at the meeting and has no comments at this time.
Review Process
This request will require a special use permit.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT
Neighborhood Meeting
The first step in the Special Use Permit (SUP) process is the pre -application meeting, which took place
on September 22, 2016. The next step is to conduct a neighborhood meeting. The applicant is
responsible for drafting a letter that will be delivered (via mail or hand delivery) to all property owners
and current residents in a 600 -foot radius of the subject property. The letter must be approved by the
Community Development department PRIOR to sending. The Community Development department
can provide the applicant with a neighborhood meeting letter template and samples, if necessary.
Additionally, the Community Development department will research the property owner and resident
information from the Jefferson County records and provide the applicant with mailing labels. The
applicant will coordinate with the Community Development department on the time and location of
the neighborhood meeting. The meeting may be held in one of the Wheat Ridge Municipal Building
conference rooms, or any other location the applicant desires. There is a $100 fee for the meeting, and
4
an additional 50 -cent fee for each page of mailing labels provided to the applicant (average is about
$2-$3).
Staff will be present at the meeting to facilitate the discussion and answer any zoning, land use, and
process related questions. However, the applicant will lead the meeting and inform the audience about
the proposal.
Application
Once the neighborhood meeting is complete, a formal application may be submitted. The SUP
application will be assigned a case number and case manager. The case manager will be the
applicant's point of contact at the City for the duration of the case processing. The case manager will
review the case, and sent it out on referral to City and outside agencies for review. The referral period
is 15 days, during which time all departments and agencies may submit comments on the application.
These comments, as well as those from the case manager, may require modifications to the
application.
Once review of the application is complete, the property must be posted. This posting lasts 10
consecutive days and requires a sign to be posted on the property. Additionally, the Community
Development department will send out written notification of the SUP request to all adjacent property
owners. If no legitimate complaints are received during this posting period, the Special Use Permit
application may be reviewed and decided upon administratively. If a legitimate complaint is received
by the Community Development Department during this posting period, the Special Use Permit will
be automatically forwarded to the City Council for a public hearing and decision.
If the application is reviewed administratively and denied, the applicant can appeal the decision to the
City Council.
If the case is forwarded to City Council due to receipt of legitimate objections, or due to appeal by the
applicant, the property must be posted again. This posting period lasts 15 consecutive days and will
require a sign to be posted on the property. The Community Development Department will also mail
out notification of the hearing to all property owners within 300 -feet of the subject site. At the public
hearing before City Council, the case manager will present the case, and based on an established set of
criteria present evident to recommend the approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the Special
Use Permit. The applicant, and the public, will be allowed to present evidence and provide testimony
in support of opposition of the Special Use Permit. The City Council will then make a decision of
approval, approval with conditions, or denial based on the testimonies provided by staff, the applicant,
and the public.
Attachments: Special Use Permit Application Checklist
Note: Please be aware that the above comments are for general information purposes only. 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.

Proposal Narrative of 9160 W 44th Ave, Wheat Ridge, Co 80033
Elevated Motors LLC ran by Sean ConnRoy and Chris ConnRoy are
looking to open a used car dealership at this location.
We are looking to use this space as a showroom and an office for our
business. We are looking to use the paved side space and interior for
inventory storage. The front area will be used as parking for customers.
The interior of the building will just be cleaned up and a new coat of paint
on the wall and floor. We are looking to keep an open floor plan but will
consider adding a small office to the space depending on how the layout is.
We are also planning on paving the rear area to expand our inventory
within 2 years pending owner and city approval.
Thank you,
Chris ConnRoy
