JURISDICTION:
All application requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to make an administrative
decision for this Special Use Permit.
I. REQUEST
Case No. SUP -17-03 is an application by Shannon Fedrizzi (owner of Phenix Salon Suites) to allow
body art establishments in the business' existing commercial space on property zoned Commercial -
One (C-1) and located at 10160 W. 5& Avenue, just west of Kipling Street (Exhibit 1, Aerial).
Pursuant to Section 26-114 of the Code of Laws, the Community Development Director has the ability
to decide upon applications for Special Use Permits 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 owner by letter notice
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 Community Development Director concludes that the criterial for approval, as set forth
below, are substantially complied with and support the request.
The Community Development Director can impose conditions or stipulations upon the approval, which
may include physical design, operational, and maintenance considerations to ensure compliance with
the criteria for review.
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; and/or,
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
Current Zoning
The C-1 zone district allows for a wide range of commercial uses, such as office, general business,
retail sales, and service establishments intended to serve the community and region. Phenix Salon
Suites offers individual tenant spaces for hair dresses, beauticians, cosmetologists, and practitioners
providing personal services such as facials and skin care, all of which are allowable uses in the C-1
zone district. Other uses in the same commercial building include restaurants, dental offices, and
medical clinics, all of which are allowable uses.
Body art is defined in Section 26-123 as:
The practice of physical body adornment by establishments or artists utilizing, but not limited
to, the techniques of body piercing, tattooing, branding, sculpting, and scarification. This
definition does not include practices conducted under the supervision of a physician licensed to
practice medicine under Colorado law nor piercing of the outer perimeter of the ear by means
of sterilized stud -and -clasp ear piercing systems.
Case No. SUP -17-03 / Phenix Salon Suites
A body art establishment is defined as any location "where the practices of body art are performed."
This use is a special use in the C-1 zone district per Section 26-204.C.4 of the Municipal Code.
Current Land Use
The property is located on the south side of 50th Avenue, just west of Kipling Street and north of
Interstate 70. The existing structure was constructed in 2005 and serves many retail, commercial, and
restaurant uses. The applicant, Phenix Salon Suites is one of the existing tenants in this building, and
provides individual suite spaces for independent hair stylists, nail technicians, and other small business
owners. Based on City business license records, Phenix Salon Suites has been in operation since 2015.
Phenix provides many necessary services in one centralized location allowing for small business
owners to reduce overhead costs, while still maintaining their independence as business owners.
Individual tenants of the suites are each expected to obtain their own business licenses.
Surrounding Zoning and Land Use
The property is surrounded by retail, commercial, and semi -industrial uses. The zoning in the area is
reflective of the existing land use. To the west is a large property zoned Planned Industrial
Development (PID) via the Sanders Industrial Park Outline and Final Development Plan for the
purpose of a plumbing supply warehouse and distribution facility. To the south are various properties
zoned Commercial -One and utilized as a marijuana dispensary, and an auto parts and service provider.
Further south, still zoned C-1, is a motel and gas station. To the east, also zoned C- 1, are a number of
businesses oriented towards Kipling Street, including a gas station and two drive through restaurants.
To the north is the City of Arvada and the Arvada Ridge Marketplace with many commercial and retail
uses including a Target and many drive-through fast food restaurants (Exhibit 2, Zoning).
III. CASE ANALYSIS
The applicant is seeking to accommodate potential tenants that provide body art services. The multi -
tenant commercial structure was built to accommodate such uses, so it is unlikely that extensive tenant
finish work would be necessary to accommodate a body artist (Exhibit 3, Site Photos). A body art
establishment can be expected to generate similar levels of traffic and parking demand as the existing
by -right personal services such as massage therapists, hair stylists or cosmetologists. Access into the
site is possible from the I-70 Frontage Road/49th Avenue and Miller Street/50th Avenue. Signalized
access to Kipling Street is offered at both 50th Avenue and 49' Avenue. There is also signalized access
into the site from 50th Avenue.
Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) is the local authority that regulates the operation of body art
establishments to ensure safe and sanitary practice, physical environment, and equipment. The
proposed body art establishment will be subject to a plan review, annual licensing, and routine
inspections by the department. Jefferson County Public Health also regulates the medical and bio -
hazardous waste produced by body art establishments.
IV. CRITERIA FOR REVIEW
The Community Development Director shall use the following criteria from Section 26-114 to evaluate
each application for a Special Use Permit. The applicant has provided their analysis of the
application's compliance with the SUP criteria (Exhibit 4, Letter of Request). Staff provides the
following review and analysis of the SUP criteria.
Case No. SUP -17-03 /Phenix Salon Suites
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 special use will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare, safety and
convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood. It will utilize an existing
structure, with existing parking, utilities, and functional space. Any tattoo parlor operating from
the space will be required to comply with all County and State regulations regarding body art
establishments.
Staff finds 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 special use will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood. A body art
establishment would be located within the existing Phenix Salon Suites space and would
operate under the existing conditions. Phenix Salon Suites has been operating in this location
for approximately 2.5 years, and there have been no issues related to blight conditions during
that time.
Staff finds this criterion has been met.
3. The special use will not create adverse impacts greater than allowed under existing zoning
for the property.
The C-1 zoning allows for a wide range of community and regionally focused commercial,
retail, and office uses. The Phenix Salon Suites offer spaces for hair stylists, cosmologists,
massage therapy, and other similar personal services, all of which are allowed uses. It is
reasonable to conclude a body art establishment operated from this space would have similar
operational characteristics, and thus would not create any adverse impacts greater than allowed
under the existing zoning.
Staff finds this criterion has been met
4. The special use 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.
A body art establishment is not expected to result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards.
Nor would it cause any unsafe parking, loading, service, or internal traffic conflict to the
detriment of persons on or off site. There are multiple access points into the parking lot,
distributing traffic through multiple points of entry. There is also a signalized access point into
the site from 501h Avenue and two signalized access points to Kipling Street, regulating the
flow of traffic into and out of the site and other nearby commercial businesses. A tattoo parlor
is expected to cause similar amounts of trip generation and parking demand as other personal
service businesses that operate out of Phenix Salon Suites.
Staff finds this criterion has been met.
Case No. SUP -17-03 / Phenix Salon Suites
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 property
owners.
No changes to the existing structure are proposed for the operation of a body art establishment.
There will be no impacts to the existing setbacks, height, bulk, buffering, screening, or
landscaping.
Building permit records indicate the structure met development standards for the C-1 zone
district at the time of its development in 2005. There have been no major modifications to the
structure or property (other than interior tenant finishes) since that time.
Staff finds 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.
The special use is not expected to overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities,
parks, schools, and other public facilities.
Staff finds 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.
There is a history of compliance on the property from a code enforcement, zoning, building,
and sales tax licensing perspective.
Staff finds 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.
No new construction on the site is proposed.
Staff finds this criterion is not applicable.
V. AGENCY REFERRAL
All affected service agencies were contacted regarding the ability to serve the property. Their specific
referral responses follow.
Arvada Fire Protection District: No concerns. Fire inspectors will need to conduct a
compliance inspection if the SUP is approved.
Jefferson County Public Health: No concerns. Body art establishments are subject to plan
review, yearly licensing, and routine inspections by Jefferson County Public Health.
Case No. SUP -17-03 / Phenix Salon Suites
Valley Water District: No concerns.
Wheat Ridge Police Department: No concerns.
City of Arvada Planning and Development: No concerns.
VI. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING & PUBLIC NOTICE
A required neighborhood meeting was held on May 31, 2017. The property owner and applicant were
in attendance, but no members of the public attended (Exhibit S, Neighborhood Meeting). No
objections were received during the ten-day public noticing period.
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 26-114, special use applications can be approved
administratively after a ten-day noticing period if no legitimate objections are received.
VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Having found the application for Case No. SUP -17-03 / Phenix Salon Suites — a Special Use Permit to
allow a body art establishment to be located within an existing commercial building located in the
Commercial -One zone district — to be complete and in compliance with the majority of the applicable
review criteria, staff recommends APPROVAL of the special use request for the following reasons:
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.
2. The special use will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of physical
or operational characteristics.
3. The special use will not create adverse impacts greater than allowed under existing zoning for
the property.
4. The special use 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 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.
6. The special use will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks,
schools and other public facilities and services.
7. There is a history of compliance by the applicant and owner with Code requirements.
With the following conditions:
1. The grant of use shall run with the applicant and shall allow approval of individual body artists
within Phenix Salon Suites.
2. Individual body artists within Phenix Salon Suites shall be required to obtain a City of Wheat
Ridge Business and Tax License.
3. Tattoo parlors must maintain compliance with the regulatory guidelines established by the State
of Colorado and Jefferson County for body art establishments.

Existing Site Conditions:
The property is located on 50th Avenue just west of Kipling Street. The structure was constructed in
2005 and sits on a 82,182 square foot (1.88 acre) site. This building serves many retail, commercial,
and restaurant uses. The applicants business, Phenix Salon Suites, is one of those businesses. Phenix
Salon Suites provides individual suite spaces for independent hair stylists, nail technicians, and other
small business owners to operate in a standalone location. Having many necessary services in one
centralized location allows for small business owners to reduce the often prohibitive overhead costs of
opening up their own standalone location, while still maintaining their independence as business
owners.
The property is located just north of I-70, and is surrounded by retail, commercial, and semi -industrial
uses. Across the property to the north is the City of Arvada's Arvada Ridge Marketplace.
Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal:
The applicant has a tattoo parlor interested in renting a suite.
The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
The property owner and applicant attended the meeting. No members of the public were present

Proposed Use
Phenix Salon Suites is requesting a special use permit to lease a salon suite to any
person or business providing body tattoos.
1. The use of a suite for the purpose of providing permanent makeup or body
tattoos will have no extra impact or detrimental effects in regards to health, safety
or welfare of neighboring businesses.
2. The special use will not create or contribute blight in the neighborhood as there
will be no exterior signage or additional building at the location.
3. The special use will not create adverse impacts greater than allowed under
existing zoning for the property as it is already in use as a commercial space.
4. The special use will have no adverse impacts due to traffic congestion, traffic
hazards or unsafe parking. There will be no more traffic than any other business in
my suites.
S. The property is already set up for commercial and retail space and will have no
need for additional work to get the business up and going.
6. The special use will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities
or other public facilities.
7. The property owner is in compliance with all codes and requirements.
8. There are no additional architectural requirements needed for this special use as
the special use will be housed in a already approved commercial space that has been
in business for over 2 years.

MUNITY DEVELOPMENT
What is a Special Use?
Special uses are discretionary uses which, if properly
designed, developed, operated, and maintained may be
approved in a zone district where the special use is
permitted. The primary issues to be addressed are those
related to the justification of need and special design, as
well as operational considerations which mitigate the
potential detrimental impacts on surrounding land uses,
the street system, and public services or facilities. A
special use permit can be granted administratively by the
Community Development Director or by City Council.
Special use approvals can be vested with the land in
perpetuity, can be granted only to the applicant, or can be
for a specific period of time. Obtaining a special use
approval can take as little as two months or as long as
four months depending on the nature of the request and
whether an administrative approval occurs.
Special Use Permit Criteria
Before a special use permit is approved, the applicant will
demonstrate that the following criteria have been met:
• Will not have a detrimental effect upon the general
health, welfare, safety and convenience of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood.
• Will not create or contribute to blight in the
neighborhood by virtue of physical or operational
characteristics.
• Will not create adverse impacts greater than allowed
under existing zoning for the property.
• 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.
• 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.
• Will not overburden the capacities of the existing
streets, utilities, parks, schools and other public
facilities and services.
• 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.
• Will be in compliance with the applicable standards
set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual.

Shannon,
The Special Use Permit process begins with an in-person pre -application meeting scheduled two weeks in advance. You
have requested to waive this pre -application meeting, as you have stated your request is straightforward and well
known by members of Staff. We have agreed to waive this initial pre -application meeting; as such, please let this email
serve as a summary of the information covered during a typical pre -application meeting.
Applicant: Shannon Fedrizzi
Site Location: 10160 W. 50th Avenue
Zoning: Commercial -One (C-1)
Existing Site Conditions:
The property is located on 50th Avenue just west of Kipling Street. The structure was constructed in 2005 and sits on a
82,182 square foot (1.88 acre) site. This building serves many retail, commercial, and restaurant uses. The applicants
business, Phenix Salon Suites, is one of those businesses. Phenix Salon Suites provides individual suite spaces for
independent hair stylists, nail technicians, and other small business owners to operate in a standalone location. Having
many necessary services in one centralized location allows for small business owners to reduce the often prohibitive
overhead costs of opening up their own standalone location, while still maintaining their independence as business
owners.
The property is located just north of 1-70, and is surrounded by retail, commercial, and semi -industrial uses. Across the
property to the north is the City of Arvada's Arvada Ridge Marketplace.
Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal:
The applicant has a tattoo parlor interested in renting a suite.
Will a neighborhood meeting need to be held prior to application submittal?
Yes, a neighborhood meeting is required.
Planning and Public Works comments:
Zoning & Use
The property is zoned Commercial -One (C-1), which allows for a wide range of commercial uses, such as office, general
business, retail sales, and service establishments. Body art establishments, which include tattoo parlors, are considered
a special uses the C-1 zone district. A special use permit application will be required to evaluate the impacts of the
tattoo parlor use on the surrounding area.
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: 303-424-3012
• Clear Creek Valley Sanitation District, phone: 303-424-4194
• Valley Water District, phone: 303-424-9661
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.
Review Process
SPECIAL USE PERMIT
Neighborhood Meeting
The first step in the Special Use Permit (SUP) process is the pre -application meeting, which is being substituted with this
information. 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. 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 your case, and send 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.
