Dear Mr. Kennedy:
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033-8001 P: 303.235.2846 F: 303.235.2857
At its meeting of March 26, 2018, City Council APPROVED Case No. WZ-18-01, a request for
approval of a zone change from Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N) for
property located at 4433 Tabor Street for the following reasons:
1. City Council has conducted a proper public hearing meeting all public notice requirements as
required by Section 26-109 of the Code of Laws.
2. The requested zoning has been reviewed by Planning Commission, which has forwarded its
recommendation of approval.
3. The requested zoning has been found to comply with the "criteria for review" in Section 26-
112-E of the Code of Laws.
If you have not done so already, please remove the posting signs associated with this case from
the property. Please feel free to contact me at 303-235-2846 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Tammy Odean
Administrative Assistant

integrity. He defended the integrity of the City for following the code and providing
rights to private property/business owners to come here and do business. If people
want changes in the code they should make that known in public comment before a
meeting. Council has been trying to follow a framework that is consistent and reliable
and sends the message that we are open for business.
Councilmember Mathews was told the SDP will only go to Planning Commission and
has a 300 ft notification requirement; Council will see the subdivision plat. Mr. Goff
added that financial agreements will also come to Council for approval.
Councilmember Fitzgerald will vote for this because he thinks it is a quality project.
Councilmember Dozeman said she would support this, but still has concerns about the
need for sales tax revenue — which is what voters wanted when they approved 2E.
The motion carried 8-0.
A recess was taken at 10:34 pm. The meeting resumed at 10:45 pm.
2. Council Bill 05-2018 — An Ordinance approving the rezoning of property located
at 4433 Tabor Street from Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood
(MU -N) (Case No. WZ-18-01/Kennedy)
The applicant is requesting the zone change to expand the list of permitted uses and to
simplify the review and approval process for future redevelopment on the property.
Councilmember Dozeman introduced Council Bill 05-2018.
Councilmember Mathews read the following statement:
Councilor Pond has raised the issue through the City Attorney that I misspoke during
the first reading for the Tabor Street rezoning. The attorney has suggested I clarify my
thoughts for the record. It is always my intent to listen to all parties and information at
the public hearings on second reading for all rezoning applications. I sometimes
change my opinion and potential vote several times during a hearing as more
information is provided from different parties and I am swayed one way or another. For
the record I have not yet decided on a course of action on this agenda item.
Clerk Shaver assigned Ordinance 1639.
Mayor Starker opened the public hearing and swore in the speakers.
Staff Presentation
Meredith Reckert presented. She entered into the record the case file and packet
material, the zoning ordinance, the Comprehensive Plan, and the contents of the digital
presentation. She testified that all posting and notification requirements had been met.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: MARCH 26, 2018
• The site is surrounded by various uses including Heine's market, PCD, low
density residential, commercial, office and agricultural zoning.
• The parcel is less than one acre; it contains a single family house; it has no
topographical irregularities.
• The current zoning allows single family and agricultural uses.
• MU,,N zoning allows commercial, residential, and low intensity commercial.
• The applicant wants to build live/work spaces.
• If approved, actual development of the site would be approved administratively.
• She elaborated on the differences between the standards for MU -N and A-1
.zones.
• In MU -N, buildings with a residential component have a height limit of 35 ft.
• This is the last remaining parcel zoned A-1 on the west side of Tabor, but this
request is less intense than other surrounding uses, so it's a compromise.
Criteria
• The Comprehensive Plan designates this side of Tabor Street as Mixed Use.
The east side of tabor is residential. Tabor is a collector street.
• A neighborhood meeting was held in May; three people attended.
• All outside agencies have indicated they can serve the property at the owner's
expense.
• The Planning Commission recommended approval of the area.
Staff concludes the zone change meets criteria and recommends approval.
Motion by Councilmember Mathews to suspend the rules and go past 11:00pm and to
finish the agenda; seconded by Councilmember Davis; carried 8-0.
Applicant
Tom Kennedy (WR), the owner, said he is attracted to this property for mixed use. He
sees this proposal as the highest and best use of the land. He plans small, 1,000sf
warehouses with an apartment above .each unit. He feels it will be popular for small
business owners because housing prices are so high in the metro area. He feels the
need for this kind of space is there.
Public Comment
John Clark (WR) lives nearby. He is a small business owner in WR and is not anti-
growth or anti -development, but as a WR Grange member and 4H parent he is opposed
to taking away agricultural properties. He testified that the owner has been unwilling to
work with the neighbors since the neighborhood meeting. He wondered if the property
would be built as stated, or said with the Mixed Use zoning. He believes property rights
should also include the rights of the surrounding property owners who choose to keep
their zoning. He pointed out that MUN allows 32 different uses — including group
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: MARCH 26, 2018
homes, retail sales, hotels, motels, extended stay lodging, and auto rental, sales and
repair. He suggested that not all the allowed uses conform to the Comp Plan or the
Fruitdale Sub -area Plan, or are consistent with the character of Tabor Street. He
quoted a Joni Mitchel song about paving paradise and putting up a parking lot and
urged Council to preserve this agricultural land.
Council Questions
Councilmember Hoppe referred to the aerial map of the area. Ms. Reckert provided `
details about some of the surrounding zonings and uses.
Mayor Starker closed the hearing.
Motion by Councilmember Dozeman to approve Council Bill 01-2018, an ordinance
approving the rezoning of property located at 4433 Tabor Street from Agricultural -One
(A-1) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N) on second reading, and that it take effect 15
days after final publication for the following reasons:
1. City Council has conducted a proper public hearing meeting all public notice
requirements as required by Section 26-109 of the Code of Laws.
2. The requested rezoning has been reviewed by the Planning Commission, which
has forwarded its recommendation of approval.
3. The requested rezoning has been found to comply with the "criteria for review" in
Section 26-112-E of the Code of Laws.
seconded by Councilmember Mathews.
Councilmember Hoppe defended the live/work use for artists, cabinet and furniture
makers, and mechanics. She knows of craftsmen who live in their shops because they
can't afford a place to live.
Councilmember Pond doesn't think this rezoning will have a negative effect on the area.
Councilmember Urban asked if there are limits about what types of uses can qualify for
"livelwork" and inquired about the ability to grow marijuana.
• Ms. Reckert said the uses would .likely include spaces for artists, craftsmen,
woodworkers, sales showroom, and the like.
• Mr. Johnstone testified that state law allows up to 25% of the floor area of the
space for residential marijuana growth.
• Mayor Starker declined to allow the applicant to comment regarding marijuana.
Councilmember Dozeman asked if the work space could be used as a storage unit. Mr.
Goff said someone could live upstairs and store personal things downstairs, but not
lease the space out for storage. Councilmember Dozeman expressed concern about
the alternate uses that MU -N allows and noted this area is designated as the Orchard
District to highlight agricultural uses. She encouraged the owner to stick to his plan.
Councilmember Mathews was curious how a "neighborhood" can fit on one acre. He
also expressed concern about so many allowed uses, and no way to predict what will
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: MARCH 26, 2018
happen down the road. He likes this concept. As. much as he'd like to seethe lot
remain green, he doesn't think that's realistic.
Councilmember Dozeman's question triggered further comments from staff about the
ability to grow marijuana.
The motion carried 8-0.

ISSUE:
The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed
Use - Neighborhood (MU -N) for property located at 4433 Tabor Street.
The purpose of the rezoning is to modify and expand the list of permitted uses and to simplify the
review and approval process for future redevelopment on the property.
PRIOR ACTION:
Planning Commission heard this request at a public hearing on February 15, 2018, and gave a
recommendation of approval for the following reasons:
1. The proposed zone change will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the
community and does not result in an adverse effect on the surrounding area.
2. The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Fruitdale Subarea Plan.
3. The proposed zone change is consistent with the character of Tabor Street.
4. The zone change will provide opportunity for reinvestment in the area.
5. The criteria used to evaluate a zone change support the request.
Council Action Form — 4433 Tabor St. Rezoning
March 26, 2018
Page 2
The staff report and meeting minutes from that meeting are attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed zone change is not expected to have a direct financial impact on the City. Fees in
the amount of $950 were collected for the review and processing of Case No. WZ-18-01.
If the proposed rezoning is approved, there could be an advancement of the City's goals for the
redevelopment of underutilized properties.
BACKGROUND:
The property is located on the west side of Tabor Street, north of W. 44th Avenue and south of
Interstate -70. The eastbound on-ramp for I-70 is immediately adjacent to the property to the west.
The site is just under one acre in size, and it currently includes a single family home that was built
in 1934 (per Jefferson County Assessor records). The majority of the site is undeveloped. Access
is provided from Tabor Street, although the existing driveway is not paved. The width of the
frontage on Tabor Street is approximately 130 feet.
Surrounding Land Uses
The subject property is zoned Agricultural -One (A-1) and the surrounding properties include a
variety of land uses and zoning designations. The west side of Tabor Street is generally more
commercial in nature. To the north are two properties zoned Planned Commercial Development
(PCD). This includes an office/warehouse, which was rezoned from A-1 to PCD in 1986 and built
in 1998, and Trailer Source, which was rezoned from A-1 to PCD in 1995 and was built in 2006.
To the south is Heinie's Market which has been in this location for decades and is zoned
Commercial -One (C-1).
Across Tabor to the east, properties are zoned residentially and agriculturally. The property
immediately across the street is approximately 2 acres in size, is vacant, and is zoned A-1. To the
north at W. 46th Avenue is a neighborhood predominantly zoned Residential -Two (R-2). To the
southeast is a single-family home zoned R-1 and several properties at 44th Avenue zoned R-3
containing multifamily apartments.
Current and Proposed Zoning
The existing zoning on the property is Agricultural -One (A-1) which allows single-family
dwellings and farming operations if the property is over one acre in size. Because the property is
smaller than one acre, the only use allowed is a residence.
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N), a zone
district that is intended for neighborhood main streets and neighborhood commercial centers. In
addition to residential, civic, and office uses, this zone district allows for a limited range of
neighborhood -serving commercial and retail uses.
Council Action Form — 4433 Tabor St. Rezoning
March 26, 2018
Page 3
A request for a rezoning to any of the City's mixed use districts may be made as a speculative
zone change without specific future plans. In this case, the applicant has indicated that he intends
to develop live/work units if the zone change is approved. Any redevelopment of the site under
MU -N would be reviewed as part of a separate land use application in the future. Site plan review
would confirm compliance of new development with the mixed use design standards.
In this location, Tabor Street is designated as a collector street and is a primary north -south route
between W. 44`h Avenue and W. 52nd Avenue, connecting to both the 1-70 Frontage Road and the
Wheat Ridge • Ward commuter rail station. The character of Tabor varies, but in this particular
location MU -N may be an appropriate zone district because of the presence of both commercial
and residential uses.
The application has been through the standard referral process with no concerns raised by any
outside agencies or City departments. A separate referral process will be required as part of future
site development.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill No. 05-2018, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property
located at 4433 Tabor Street from Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed Use — Neighborhood (MU -
N) on second reading and that it take effect 15 days after final publication for the following
reasons:
1. City Council has conducted a proper public hearing meeting all public notice
requirements as required by Section 26-109 of the Code of Laws.
2. The requested rezoning has been reviewed by the Planning Commission, which has
forwarded its recommendation of approval.
3. The requested rezoning has been found to comply with the "criteria for review" in
Section 26-112-E of the Code of Laws."
Or,
"I move to deny Council Bill No. 05-2018, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property
located at 4433 Tabor Street from Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed Use — Neighborhood (MU -
N) for the following reasons:

I. REQUEST
The prospective buyer of 4433 Tabor Street has requested approval of a zone change from
Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N). The proposed rezoning area
includes one parcel, the total area of which is approximately 0.95 acres. The purpose of the zone
change is to better align the zoning with the surroundings and to expand possible uses for future
redevelopment. The zone change is the first step of the approval process for future
redevelopment. If approved, the applicant has stated he intends to develop the property with
live/work dwelling units.
H. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY
Subject Property
The property is located on Tabor Street, north of W. 44d' Avenue, south of Interstate -70
(Exhibit 1, Aeric J. The eastbound on-ramp for I-70 is immediately adjacent to the property to
the west. The site is just under one acre in size, and it currently includes a single family home
that was built in 1934 (per Jefferson County Assessor records). The majority of the site is
undeveloped '(Exhibit 2, Site Photos). Access is provided from Tabor Street, although the
existing driveway is not paved. The width of the frontage on Tabor Street is approximately 130
feet.
Surrounding Zoning and Land Use
The subject property is zoned Agricultural -One (A-1) and the surrounding properties include a
variety of land uses and zoning designations Exhibit 3, Zoning Map). The west side of Tabor
Street is generally more commercial in nature. To the north are two properties zoned Planned
Commercial Development (PCD). This includes an office/warehouse, which was rezoned from
A-1 to PCD in 1986 and built in 1998, and Trailer Source, which was rezoned from A-1 to PCD
in 1995 and was built in 2006. To the south is Heinie's Market which has been in this location
for decades and is zoned Commercial -One (C-1).
Across Tabor to the east, properties are zoned residentially and agriculturally. The property
immediately across the street is approximately 2 acres in size, is vacant, and is zoned A-1. To
the north at W. 46`s Avenue is a neighborhood predominantly zoned Residential -Two (R-2). To
the southeast is a single-family home zoned R-1 and several properties at 40 Avenue zoned R-3
containing multifamily apartments.
III. PROPOSED ZONING
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (M -U -N), a zone
district that is intended for neighborhood main streets and neighborhood commercial centers. In
addition to residential, civic, and office uses, this zone district allows for a limited range of
neighborhood -serving commercial and retail uses.
Case No. WZ--1&-01 /Kennedy
A request for a rezoning to any of the City's mixed use districts may be made as a speculative
zone change without specific future plans. In this case, the applicant has indicated that he
intends to develop live/work units if the zone change is approved (&hthit 4, Applicant Request,.
Any redevelopment of the site under MU -N would be reviewed as part of a separate land use
application in the future. Site plan review would confirm compliance of new development with
the nixed use design standards.
In this location, Tabor Street is designated as a collector street and is a primary north -south route
between W. 44b Avenue and W. 52nd Avenue, connecting to both the I-70 Frontage Road and the
Wheat Ridge • Ward commuter rail station. The character of Tabor varies, but in this particular
location MCT -N is an appropriate zone district because of the presence of both commercial and
residential uses. The table below compares the existing and proposed zoning for the property:
Given the variety of zone districts in this area, it is appropriate to review the MU -N zoning
request not only to A-1 but in relation to the existing conditions and surrounding zoning. The
subject property is the last remaining parcel on the west side of Tabor to be a non-commercial
use. The proposed MU -N zoning is less intensive than the adjacent commercial zoning
designations (C-1 and PCD) and requires higher quality site and building design. By allowing
residential uses and. limiting intensive commercial uses, MU -N is more compatible with the east
side of Tabor Street than the existing commercial zoning designations. The proposed zoning
generally strikes a compromise among the surrounding zone districts and land uses.

IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA
Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in Section 26-112.E. The
Planning Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the
following criteria have been met:
1. The change of zone promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community
and will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area.
The change of zone will not result in adverse effects on the surrounding area. The rezoning
would limit the range of commercial uses allowed on the site to more neighborhood -oriented
commercial activities, as opposed to the more intensive commercial activities which are
permitted on adjacent properties.
While the MU -N zone district will expand use options as compared to A-1, the zone change
is appropriate based on the existing character and land use patterns on Tabor Street. The
mixed use development standards will ensure high quality site and building design. For these
reasons, the zone change should not have an adverse effect on the surrounding area.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
2. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the types of uses allowed by the
change of zone, or the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist
or are under capacity.
The applicant will be responsible for upgrades if development results from the zone change.
The width of Tabor Street in front of the property is currently substandard, so a right-of-way
dedication would be required with future development. Because the property currently
contains only a single-family home, it is anticipated that the applicant would need to work
with the appropriate districts on utility upgrades based on a future redevelopment scenario.
Despite a likely need for future upgrades, service providers and utility districts did not
express any concerns with the zone change itself during the referral period.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
3. The Planning Commission shall also find that at least one 1 of the following conditions
exists:
a. The change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance,
with the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies, and
other related policies or plans for the area.
Tabor Street is a primary north -south route, which is classified as a collector and
currently includes a mix of land uses. Envision Wheat Ridge, the City's 2009
comprehensive plan, identifies the east side of Tabor as a "neighborhood" and the west
side of Tabor as "mixed use commercial." These designations acknowledge the mixed
Case No. FPZ--18-01 /Kennedy 4
use character of Tabor, and as such the MU-N zone change request is consistent with the
City's comprehensive plan-� xhibit S, Comprehensive Plan);
A stated goal in the comprehensive plan is to promote reinvestment in properties and to
promote a mix of neighborhood -supporting uses, including residential use and office use.
This zone change request supports the comprehensive plan by enabling investment in the
property and by aligning the zoning with the City's mixed use goals.
The property is within the Fruitdale Subarea. This subarea plan was adopted in 2007 and
predates both the comprehensive plan (2009) and the adoption of mixed use zoning
(2010). Despite this, the zone change is consistent with the subarea plan, which classifies
the west side of Tabor as commercial and generally calls for reinvestment in the area.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the
City of Wheat Ridge is in error.
Staff has not found any evidence of an error with the current A-1 zoning designation as it
appears on the City zoning maps.
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
c. A change of character in the area has occurred or is occurring to such a degree that
it is in the public interest to encourage redevelopment of the area or to recognize the
changing character of the area.
Staff finds no evidence of significant recent changes in the area. The commercialization
of the west side of Tabor has been occurring over the last several decades as noted above.
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
d. The proposed rezoning is necessary in order to provide for a community need that
was not anticipated at the time of the adoption of the City of Wheat Ridge
comprehensive plan.
The proposed rezoning does not relate to an unanticipated need.
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
Staff concludes that the criteria used to evaluate zone change support this request.
Case No. 97-18- 01 /Kennedy
V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
Prior to submittal of an application for a zone change, the applicant is required to hold a
neighborhood input meeting in accordance with the requirements of Section 26-109 of the
Municipal Code.
A meeting for neighborhood input was held on May 24, 2017. In addition to staff, the owner,
and the applicant, three people from the neighborhood attended the meeting. In general,
attendees supported the request. A summary of the meeting is enclosed asExhibit 6,
Neighborhood Meeting Notes.
VI. AGENCY REFERRAL
All affected service agencies were contacted for comment on the zone change request and
regarding the ability to serve the property. Specific referral responses follow:
Wheat Ridge Police Department: No concerns.
Wheat Ridge Public Works Department: No concerns; specific site requirements will
be reviewed through a site plan review when development is proposed.
Arvada Fire Protection District: No concerns; specific site requirements will be
reviewed through a site plan review when development is proposed
Fruitdale Sanitation District: No objection; applicant will be responsible for any
necessary infrastructure upgrades
Valley Water District: No objection; applicant will be responsible for any necessary
infrastructure upgrades when development is proposed.
Xcel Energy: No objection; applicant will be responsible for any necessary infrastructure
upgrades when development is proposed.
No comments were received from CenturyLink, AT&T or the Building Division. Referral
recipients are advised that no comment received indicates having no objections or concerns
regarding the proposal.
A separate referral process will be required in the future if redevelopment occurs.
VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that the proposed zone change promotes the health, safety and general welfare of
the community and will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area. Staff
further concludes that utility infrastructure adequately serves the property, and the applicant will
be responsible for upgrades, if needed in the future. Finally, Staff concludes that the zone
Case No. WZ-18-01 /Kennedy
change is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan by promoting a
mix of uses and relating appropriately to the adjacent commercial and residential land uses.
Because the zone change evaluation criteria support the zone change request, staff recommends
approval of Case No. WZ-18-01.

EXHIBIT 4: APPLICANT REQUEST
4433 Tabor LoftlWorx
Project Proposal
Request for Zone Change
A proposal is being submitted for a zone change on a 0.9 acre lot at 4433 Tabor Street, Wheat
Ridge, CO 80033.
The lot is currently zoned agricultural and the requested proposal is for a zoning change to
Mixed Use Neighborhood (MU -N).
The subject lot is bordered on two sides by commercial structures with the back of the lot facing
the East bound I-70 on-ramp from 446 avenue.
Background
The property has been owned by the same family for over 60 years. It was part of a larger
agricultural parcel that was sub divided and sold, with an existing storage building converted to a
single family residence. The current owner is part of the development team requesting the zoning
change
Proposed Project
4433 Tabor Loft/Worx is a mixed use, "live where you work/work where you live" concept.
The proposed development is designed for 10-12 units comprised of 1,000 to 1,100 sq ft of
warehouse and residential space combined in one unit.
The targeted market is individual tenant/owners requiring working space for design, storage and
office areas while inhabiting the area above the work area.
We envision an "artisan' mix of complementary businesses. The concept of artisan is not so much
of an artistic focus but more a collaboration of individuals whose entrepreneurial goals reflect a
live/work environment.

Project Criteria for Review
The project qualifies for a zone change not deemed planned unit development under Sec. 26-112
due to the fact that neither the land use size is greater than 1 acre nor the zone change application
is for a zone change to any commercial district except mixed use or to the industrial -employment
district.
The front of the property faces Tabor Street with primarily residential and multifamily residences
and a 6 acre tract of undeveloped agricultural zoned land on the East side of Tabor Street.
Subject property is located on the West side of Tabor Street and is flanked by commercial
properties and highway access behind it. The rezoning of the property to mixed use is utilizing
the highest and best use of the land to provide a seamless integration from the residential usage
on the East side of Tabor Street to the commercialized district on the opposite side of Tabor
Street.
A "live where you worklwork where you live" development is designed to have minimal impact
both on traffic flow and access to current infrastructures. Residents of these properties are not
tied to normal work flow patterns. The restrictive nature of the proposed covenants against walk-
in retail businesses curtail any additional traffic outside the coming and goings of the residents of
the property.
The location of the property in a commercially zoned area utilizes the existing utilities already
servicing the properties in this corridor of businesses. Thus requiring no additional taxing of the
current utilities.
With the completion of the light rail station approximately on half mile to the North of the
proposed development, the 4443 Tabor Loft/Worx development fully incorporates itself into both
Wheat Ridge's and the Front Ranges transportation plans to encourage proposals that commit to
reducing the impact that commuting and private vehicle use has on the surrounding community.

Existing Site Conditions:
The property is located on Tabor Street north of 44' Avenue and south of Interstate -70. The
ramps for I-70 are adjacent to the property to the west. According to the Jefferson County
Assessor, the property is just under one acre in size (39,988 square feet), and it has on it a single
family home that was built in 1934. The majority of the site is undeveloped. Access is provided
from Tabor, although the existing driveway is not paved.
The site is currently zoned Agricultural -One (A-1), and it is surrounded by a variety of zoning
designations and land uses. Immediately to the north is an office/warehouse zoned Planned
Commercial Development (PCD), and to the south is Heine's Market which is zoned
Commercial -One (C-1). Across Tabor to the east are properties zoned residentially and
agriculturally. This includes a relatively well-established R-2 neighborhood, a vacant A-1
parcel, and multifamily development along 44"' Avenue.
Case No. WZ-18-01 /Kennedy 14
Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to develop the property into a live/work project. Although there is
no specific development being proposed at this time, a conceptual site plan was shared with
the group. The plan showed a row of 12 units running along and parallel to the northern
property line. A drive -aisle and parking are located south of the structure.
No outdoor storage would be permitted on the property. Potential end users could include
materials installers who need warehouse space, manufacturer representatives who need
showroom space, or design professionals who need studio and meeting space. The applicants
do not envision any retail uses on the property.
There are two options to change the zoning on the property. The first would be to rezone it to
a mixed use zone district category. The property's location would qualify it to be rezoned to
Mixed -Use Commercial Interstate (MU -C I) which is intended for properties on commercial
corridors within 500' of I-70. Another mixed use category to contemplate is Mixed Use —
Neighborhood which would be more compatible with the residential uses across the street.
The other option would be to rezone the property to a planned development district.
The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
• In addition to staff and 3 applicant/owner representatives, 3 members of the public
attended the neighborhood meeting. See attached sign-up sheet.
• Staff explained the site conditions, zoning in the neighborhood, and the reason for the
rezoning request.
• The applicant explained the proposed project and how a zone change to Mixed Use
could work for the property.
• The members of the public were informed of the process for a zone change.
• The members of the public were informed of their opportunity to make comments
during the process and at the public hearings.
The following issues were discussed regarding the zone change request and proposed
development:
• What is the current use on the property?
Single family residential.
• The building is proposed to be two stories in height. How will the upper story be used?
As either a one -bedroom efficiency apartment or office space supporting the use on
the bottom floor.
• Will outside storage be allowed?
No.
® How tall will the building be?
Roughly 29'.
Case No. WZ-18-01 /Kennedy 15
• The proposal development looks similar to the development to the north. How many
units are in that development?
Seven.
• One of the attendees indicated that he was generally supportive of the concept but
commented that with mixed use zoning, there are no assurances of what can be built.
He indicated that he would prefer to the see the property rezoned to a planned
development district so the design can be reviewed as part of the zone change process.
No written comments were received either before or after the neighborhood meeting.

1. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Case No. WZ-18-01: an application filed by Tom Kennedy for approval of a zone
change from Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N) for the
property located at 4433 Tabor Street.
Ms. Reckert gave a short presentation regarding the zone change and the
application. She entered into the record the contents of the case file, packet
materials, the zoning ordinance, and the contents of the digital presentation. She
stated the public notice and posting requirements have been met, therefore the
Planning Commission has jurisdiction to hear this case.
Commissioner BUCKNAM asked if the small strip of land to the southwest of the
subject property is also A-1.
Ms. Reckert said it is A-1 and is a part of the water detention that was created
when I-70 on/off ramps were relocated about seven years ago. She added that the
zoning on it will not be changed and that much of the right-of-way for I-70 is
zoned A-1.
Commissioner BUCKNAM then asked if there are any concerns with drainage if
the zone change is approved due to the possibility of higher density on the land.
Mr. Brossman said that during the design phase drainage will be addressed and any
new development would have to have adequate facilities on site to handle drainage.
Commissioner VOS wanted to confirm the zoning of the building to the north and
asked if the zone change to MU -N will run with the land if the owners decide not
to develop, but to sell instead.
Ms. Reckert confirmed that the MU -N zoning would remain, regardless of
ownership.
Tom Kennedy, Applicant
11194 I-70 Frontage Rd North
Mr. Kennedy gave a brief explanation behind his desire for the zone change to
MU -N. He said the concept of becoming more environmentally conscious is
beneficial and would create less vehicular traffic by developing a live/work
product. The units would include office space on the main floor and apartments
above, on the 2nd floor. He also added that he had enjoyed working with the City
of Wheat Ridge staff.
ATTACHMENT 3
John Clark, Resident
4665 Swadley Street
Mr. Clark believes the staff at the City of Wheat Ridge is hard to work with and he
felt it was inappropriate to indicate that three people had attended the neighborhood
meeting in May because the two other people showed up late. He said he is not
against development, but in fact is against changing the zoning for something in the
future that could be much bigger or more intensive. He feels that MU -N is more
valuable than an A-1 zoning and will just be sold for money. Mr. Clark does not
want to see A-1 properties disappear because we need more grassland and feels
Wheat Ridge is not sustainable if it is all asphalt. He expressed concerns that a
vacant A-1 property on the east side of Tabor Street would be rezoned and
redeveloped commercially. He expressed distrust of the City and of staff.
Commissioner VOS commented that if the maximum height for residential use in
MU -N is 35 feet and 50 feet for all other uses, she is worried something other than
live/work will be developed.
Ms. Mikulak explained that zoning runs with the land and it is appropriate to
compare the different development standards to the commercial properties adjacent
to this one not only the A-1 that it is zoned currently. Commercial -One (C-1) also
has a height limit of 50 feet for buildings with commercial uses. The Commission
needs to focus on the zoning not the potential for a live/work development because
it is always possible that future development could be for any of the permitted uses.
It was moved by Commissioner BUCKNAM and seconded by Commissioner
WEAVER to recommend APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-18-01, a request for
approval of a zone change from Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed Use -
Neighborhood (MU -N) for property located at 4433 Tabor Street, for the
following reasons:
1. The proposed zone change will promote the public health, safety, or
welfare of the community and does not result in an adverse effect on
the surrounding area.
2. The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and objectives
of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Fruitdale Subarea Plan
3. The proposed zone change is consistent with the character of Tabor
Street.
4. The zone change will provide opportunity for reinvestment in the
area.
5. The criteria used to evaluate a zone change support the request.
Commissioner BUCKNAM explained he is going to support the motion because
Tabor Street is between the neighborhood on the east and the commercial on the
west and it is appropriate for a mixed use zoning and the uses would be in
character with the neighborhood.
Commissioner WEAVER added that she works and lives among agricultural uses
and when you don't have large continuous spaces it is hard to do agricultural work.
She explained that when you look at the zoning map there are not agricultural
activities being done in the A -I zone districts. Commissioner WEAVER added
that the City of Wheat Ridge has done an excellent job at creating zone districts for
what is appropriate for the neighborhoods.
Vice Chair BODEN called for a vote.

ISSUE:
The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed
Use - Neighborhood (MU -N) for property located at 4433 Tabor Street.
The purpose of the rezoning is to modify and expand the list of permitted uses and to simplify the
review and approval process for future redevelopment on the property.
PRIOR ACTION:
Planning Commission heard this request at a public hearing on February 15, 2018, and gave a
recommendation of approval for the following reasons:
1. The proposed zone change will promote the public health, safety, or welfare of the
community and does not result in an adverse effect on the surrounding area.
2. The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Fruitdale Subarea Plan
3. The proposed zone change is consistent with the character of Tabor Street.
4. The zone change will provide opportunity for reinvestment in the area.
5. The criteria used to evaluate a zone change support the request.
Council Action Form — Kennedy
February 26, 2018
Page 2
The staff report and meeting minutes from that meeting will be included with the ordinance for
second reading.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed zone change is not expected to have a direct financial impact on the City. Fees in
the amount of $950 were collected for the review and processing of Case No. WZ-18-01.
If the proposed rezoning is approved, there could be an advancement of the City's goals for the
redevelopment of underutilized properties.
BACKGROUND:
The property is located on the west side of Tabor Street, north of W. 40' Avenue and south of
Interstate -70. The eastbound on-ramp for I-70 is immediately adjacent to the property to the west.
The site is just under one acre in size, and it currently includes a single family home that was built
in 1934 (per Jefferson County Assessor records). The majority of the site is undeveloped. Access
is provided from Tabor Street, although the existing driveway is not paved. The width of the
frontage on Tabor Street is approximately 130 feet.
Surrounding Land Uses
The subject property is zoned Agricultural -One (A-1) and the surrounding properties include a
variety of land uses and zoning designations. The west side of Tabor Street is generally more
commercial in nature. To the north are two properties zoned Planned Commercial Development
(PCD). This includes an office/warehouse, which was rezoned from A-1 to PCD in 1986 and built
in 1998, and Trailer Source, which was rezoned from A-1 to PCD in 1995 and was built in 2006.
To the south is Heinie's Market which has been in this location for decades and is zoned
Commercial -One (C-1).
Across Tabor to the east, properties are zoned residentially and agriculturally. The property
immediately across the street is approximately 2 acres in size, is vacant, and is zoned A-1. To the
north at W. 46th Avenue is a neighborhood predominantly zoned Residential -Two (R-2). To the
southeast is a single-family home zoned R-1 and several properties at 44th Avenue zoned R-3
containing multifamily apartments.
Current and Proposed Zoning
The existing zoning on the property is Agricultural -One (A-1) which allows single-family
dwellings and farming operations if the property is over one acre in size. Because the property is
smaller than one acre, the only use allowed is a residence.
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N), a zone
district that is intended for neighborhood main streets and neighborhood commercial centers. In
addition to residential, civic, and office uses, this zone district allows for a limited range of
neighborhood -serving commercial and retail uses.
Council Action Form — Kennedy
February 26, 2018
Page 3
A request for a rezoning to any of the City's mixed use districts may be made as a speculative
zone change without specific future plans. In this case, the applicant has indicated that he intends
to develop live/work units if the zone change is approved. Any redevelopment of the site under
MU -N would be reviewed as part of a separate land use application in the future. Site plan review
would confirm compliance of new development with the mixed use design standards.
In this location, Tabor Street is designated as a collector street and is a primary north -south route
between W. 44d' Avenue and W. 52nd Avenue, connecting to both the I-70 Frontage Road and the
Wheat Ridge • Ward commuter rail station. The character of Tabor varies, but in this particular
location MU -N may be an appropriate zone district because of the presence of both commercial
and residential uses.
The application has been through the standard referral process with no concerns raised by any
outside agencies or City departments. A separate referral process will be required as part of future
site development.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill No. 05-2018, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property
located at 4433 Tabor Street from Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed Use — Neighborhood (MU -
N) on first reading, order it published, public hearing set for Monday, March 26, 2017, at
7 p.m. in City Council Chambers, and that it take effect 15 days after final publication."

Re: Fruitdale Sanitation District — 4433 Tabor St. — Land Use Referral
Martin/Martin, Inc Project No.: 130053.C.01
Dear Ms. Reckert,
On behalf of the Fruitdale Sanitation District (WRSD), Martin/Martin Inc., acting as the District Engineer, offers the
following in response to the referenced referral dated January 51h, 2018 concerning request for approval of a zone
change from A-1 to MU -N located at 4433 Tabor St. From the attached referral, it appears that the lot's proposed
zoning is for mixed commercial and residential (10-12 townhome units) use. The Fruitdale Sanitation District has no
objections with the proposed request conditional on the elements identified herein are fully addressed. The following
are general requirements for sanitary sewer service. Rules, Regulations and Standards of the District must be complied
with at all times.
The subject lot is entirely within the service and boundary area of the Fruitdale Sanitation District. Treatment of
sewage generated within the Fruitdale Sanitation District is provided by Metro Wastewater Reclamation District.
Existing Sanitary Sewer Mains
Fruitdale Sanitation District has the following sanitary sewer mains in the vicinity of the proposed property:
• 8 -inch mainline running north to south, east of the referenced property within Tabor St.
The developer will be required to provide definition of proposed generated flows from the anticipated development to
allow an understanding of downstream sanitary mainline capacity. A downstream capacity analysis provided by the
developer may also be required. If it is determined that downstream mainlines will need to be upsized due to the
development, upsizing costs will be the responsibility of the owner/developer.
It appears from existing records that the property may be serviced by gravity flow; however, the developer is
responsible for determining vertical depths and horizontal locations to verify if gravity flow is capable of servicing lots
or if private individual sewage ejectors (lift station) are required. Each unit requires a separate connection to the FSD
main. Please provide a site plan for the District's review.
If the development requires a sanitary sewer extension, an easement and extension agreement must be completed.
Per the District's Rules and Regulations (Section 2.04), "All main line extensions constructed within the District which
will connect to the public sewer shall be planned and designed by, and be constructed with material and
workmanship specified by, the District's Engineer," A design fee document will be provided once a site plan is
provided by the developer.
Costs
All costs involved are to be deposited to Martin/Martin prior to beginning the review — reviews, design, contract
development, construction, observation and inspections — are the responsibility of the Owner/Developer. Please be
aware that proper tap and development fees are required to be paid prior to connection to the District main. For

commercial and multi -family buildings, the tap fee is based on water meter size. The District converts the water meter
size to SFRE based on the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District's Rules and Regulations. The 2018 cost for each SFRE
are $5,000/SFRE for Fruitdale Sanitation District plus $4,220/SFRE for Metro Wastewater Reclamation District. These
fee amounts are to be paid directly to the District Office prior to connection, payable to Fruitdale Sanitation District,
which also collects Metro Wastewater's "connection fees". All fees are subject to modification.

The Wheat Ridge Community Development Department has received a request for approval of
a zone change from Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed Use Neighborhood (MU -N) for property
located at 4433 Tabor Street.
No response from you will constitute having no objections or concerns regarding this proposal.
Case No.: WZ-18-01/Tabor Street
Request: The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the property at 4433 Tabor Street from

is to expand possible uses for the property, including mixed use with both a commercial and
residential component.
The zone change is the first step of the process for redevelopment of the site. Although there
is no specific development scenario included with this referral, if approved and prior to
construction of any new structures, a site development plan approval will be required.
Please inform the case manager of any concerns about the site's ability for future development
based on the proposed zoning. At the time of site plan review, when a specific development
proposal is available, an additional referral regarding utility needs for the proposed
development will be issued.

Q
All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear
this case.
I. REQUEST
The prospective buyer of 4433 Tabor Street has requested approval of a zone change from
Agricultural -One (A-1) to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N). The proposed rezoning area
includes one parcel, the total area of which is approximately 0.95 acres. The purpose of the zone
change is to better align the zoning with the surroundings and to expand possible uses for future
redevelopment. The zone change is the first step of the approval process for future
redevelopment. If approved, the applicant has stated he intends to develop the property with
live/work dwelling units.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY
Subject Property
The property is located on Tabor Street, north of W. 40 Avenue, south of Interstate -70
(Exhibit 1, Aerial). The eastbound on-ramp for I-70 is immediately adjacent to the property to
the west. The site is just under one acre in size, and it currently includes a single family home
that was built in 1934 (per Jefferson County Assessor records). The majority of the site is
undeveloped (Exhibit 2, Site Photos). Access is provided from Tabor Street, although the
existing driveway is not paved. The width of the frontage on Tabor Street is approximately 130
feet.
Surrounding Zoning and Land Use
The subject property is zoned Agricultural -One (A-1) and the surrounding properties include a
variety of land uses and zoning designations (Exhibit 3, Zoning Map). The west side of Tabor
Street is generally more commercial in nature. To the north are two properties zoned Planned
Commercial Development (PCD). This includes an office/warehouse, which was rezoned from
A-1 to PCD in 1986 and built in 1998, and Trailer Source, which was rezoned from A-1 to PCD
in 1995 and was built in 2006. To the south is Heinie's Market which has been in this location
for decades and is zoned Commercial -One (C-1).
Across Tabor to the east, properties are zoned residentially and agriculturally. The property
immediately across the street is approximately 2 acres in size, is vacant, and is zoned A-1. To
the north at W. 46th Avenue is a neighborhood predominantly zoned Residential -Two (R-2). To
the southeast is a single-family home zoned R-1 and several properties at 44th Avenue zoned R-3
containing multifamily apartments.
III. PROPOSED ZONING
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU -N), a zone
district that is intended for neighborhood main streets and neighborhood commercial centers. In
addition to residential, civic, and office uses, this zone district allows for a limited range of
neighborhood -serving commercial and retail uses.
Case No. WZ-18-01 /Kennedy
A request for a rezoning to any of the City's mixed use districts may be made as a speculative
zone change without specific future plans. In this case, the applicant has indicated that he
intends to develop live/work units if the zone change is approved (Exhibit 4, Applicant Request).
Any redevelopment of the site under MU -N would be reviewed as part of a separate land use
application in the future. Site plan review would confirm compliance of new development with
the mixed use design standards.
In this location, Tabor Street is designated as a collector street and is a primary north -south route
between W. 44th Avenue and W. 52"a Avenue, connecting to both the I-70 Frontage Road and the
Wheat Ridge • Ward commuter rail station. The character of Tabor varies, but in this particular
location MU -N is an appropriate zone district because of the presence of both commercial and
residential uses. The table below compares the existing and proposed zoning for the property:
Given the variety of zone districts in this area, it is appropriate to review the MU -N zoning
request not only to A-1 but in relation to the existing conditions and surrounding zoning. The
subject property is the last remaining parcel on the west side of Tabor to be a non-commercial
use. The proposed MU -N zoning is less intensive than the adjacent commercial zoning
designations (C-1 and PCD) and requires higher quality site and building design. By allowing
residential uses and limiting intensive commercial uses, MU -N is more compatible with the east
side of Tabor Street than the existing commercial zoning designations. The proposed zoning
generally strikes a compromise among the surrounding zone districts and land uses.

IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA
Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in Section 26-112.E. The
Planning Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the
following criteria have been met:
1. The change of zone promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community
and will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area.
The change of zone will not result in adverse effects on the surrounding area. The rezoning
would limit the range of commercial uses allowed on the site to more neighborhood -oriented
commercial activities, as opposed to the more intensive commercial activities which are
permitted on adjacent properties.
While the MU -N zone district will expand use options as compared to A-1, the zone change
is appropriate based on the existing character and land use patterns on Tabor Street. The
mixed use development standards will ensure high quality site and building design. For these
reasons, the zone change should not have an adverse effect on the surrounding area.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
2. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the types of uses allowed by the
change of zone, or the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist
or are under capacity.
The applicant will be responsible for upgrades if development results from the zone change.
The width of Tabor Street in front of the property is currently substandard, so a right-of-way
dedication would be required with future development. Because the property currently
contains only a single-family home, it is anticipated that the applicant would need to work
with the appropriate districts on utility upgrades based on a future redevelopment scenario.
Despite a likely need for future upgrades, service providers and utility districts did not
express any concerns with the zone change itself during the referral period.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
3. The Planning Commission shall also find that at least one 1 of the following conditions
exists:
a. The change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance,
with the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies, and
other related policies or plans for the area.
Tabor Street is a primary north -south route, which is classified as a collector and
currently includes a mix of land uses. Envision Wheat Ridge, the City's 2009
comprehensive plan, identifies the east side of Tabor as a "neighborhood" and the west
side of Tabor as "mixed use commercial." These designations acknowledge the mixed
Case No. WZ-18-01 /Kennedy 4
use character of Tabor, and as such the MU -N zone change request is consistent with the
City's comprehensive plan (Exhibit 5, Comprehensive Plan).
A stated goal in the comprehensive plan is to promote reinvestment in properties and to
promote a mix of neighborhood -supporting uses, including residential use and office use.
This zone change request supports the comprehensive plan by enabling investment in the
property and by aligning the zoning with the City's mixed use goals.
The property is within the Fruitdale Subarea. This subarea plan was adopted in 2007 and
predates both the comprehensive plan (2009) and the adoption of mixed use zoning
(2010). Despite this, the zone change is consistent with the subarea plan, which classifies
the west side of Tabor as commercial and generally calls for reinvestment in the area.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the
City of Wheat Ridge is in error.
Staff has not found any evidence of an error with the current A-1 zoning designation as it
appears on the City zoning maps.
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
c. A change of character in the area has occurred or is occurring to such a degree that
it is in the public interest to encourage redevelopment of the area or to recognize the
changing character of the area.
Staff finds no evidence of significant recent changes in the area. The commercialization
of the west side of Tabor has been occurring over the last several decades as noted above.
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
d. The proposed rezoning is necessary in order to provide for a community need that
was not anticipated at the time of the adoption of the City of Wheat Ridge
comprehensive plan.
The proposed rezoning does not relate to an unanticipated need.
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
Staff concludes that the criteria used to evaluate zone change support this request.
Case No. WZ-18-01 /Kennedy
V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
Prior to submittal of an application for a zone change, the applicant is required to hold a
neighborhood input meeting in accordance with the requirements of Section 26-109 of the
Municipal Code.
A meeting for neighborhood input was held on May 24, 2017. In addition to staff, the owner,
and the applicant, three people from the neighborhood attended the meeting. In general,
attendees supported the request. A summary of the meeting is enclosed as Exhibit 6,
Neighborhood Meeting Notes.
VI. AGENCY REFERRAL
All affected service agencies were contacted for comment on the zone change request and
regarding the ability to serve the property. Specific referral responses follow:
Wheat Ridge Police Department: No concerns.
Wheat Ridge Public Works Department: No concerns; specific site requirements will
be reviewed through a site plan review when development is proposed.
Arvada Fire Protection District: No concerns; specific site requirements will be
reviewed through a site plan review when development is proposed
Fruitdale Sanitation District: No objection; applicant will be responsible for any
necessary infrastructure upgrades
Valley Water District: No objection; applicant will be responsible for any necessary
infrastructure upgrades when development is proposed.
Xcel Energy: No objection; applicant will be responsible for any necessary infrastructure
upgrades when development is proposed.
No comments were received from CenturyLink, AT&T or the Building Division. Referral
recipients are advised that no comment received indicates having no objections or concerns
regarding the proposal.
A separate referral process will be required in the future if redevelopment occurs.
VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that the proposed zone change promotes the health, safety and general welfare of
the community and will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area. Staff
further concludes that utility infrastructure adequately serves the property, and the applicant will
be responsible for upgrades, if needed in the future. Finally, Staff concludes that the zone
Case No. WZ-18-01 /Kennedy
change is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan by promoting a
mix of uses and relating appropriately to the adjacent commercial and residential land uses.
Because the zone change evaluation criteria support the zone change request, staff recommends
approval of Case No. WZ-18-01.

EXHIBIT 4: APPLICANT REQUEST
4433 Tabor Loft/Worx
Project Proposal
Request for Zone Change
A proposal is being submitted for a zone change on a 0.9 acre lot at 4433 Tabor Street, Wheat
Ridge, CO 80033.
The lot is currently zoned agricultural and the requested proposal is for a zoning change to
Mixed Use Neighborhood (MU -N).
The subject lot is bordered on two sides by commercial structures with the back of the lot facing
the East bound I-70 on-ramp from 44th avenue.
Background
The property has been owned by the same family for over 60 years. It was part of a larger
agricultural parcel that was sub divided and sold, with an existing storage building converted to a
single family residence. The current owner is part of the development team requesting the zoning
change
Proposed Project
4433 Tabor Loft/Worx is a mixed use, "live where you work/work where you live" concept.
The proposed development is designed for 10-12 units comprised of 1,000 to 1,100 sq ft of
warehouse and residential space combined in one unit.
The targeted market is individual tenant/owners requiring working space for design, storage and
office areas while inhabiting the area above the work area.
We envision an "artisan' mix of complementary businesses. The concept of artisan is not so much
of an artistic focus but more a collaboration of individuals whose entrepreneurial goals reflect a
live/work environment.
Case No. WZ-18-01 /Kennedy 11
Some examples of these are:
m Internet interactive design and support
m Commercial interior design
m Manufacturer representatives
m Professional engineering services
G Licensed individuals providing professional business consulting and work products (CPA
etc)
Project Criteria for Review
The project qualifies for a zone change not deemed planned unit development under Sec. 26-112
due to the fact that neither the land use size is greater than 1 acre nor the zone change application
is for a zone change to any commercial district except mixed use or to the industrial -employment
district.
The front of the property faces Tabor Street with primarily residential and multifamily residences
and a 6 acre tract of undeveloped agricultural zoned land on the East side of Tabor Street.
Subject property is located on the West side of Tabor Street and is flanked by commercial
properties and highway access behind it. The rezoning of the property to mixed use is utilizing
the highest and best use of the land to provide a seamless integration from the residential usage
on the East side of Tabor Street to the commercialized district on the opposite side of Tabor
Street.
A "live where you work/work where you live" development is designed to have minimal impact
both on traffic flow and access to current infrastructures. Residents of these properties are not
tied to normal work flow patterns. The restrictive nature of the proposed covenants against walk-
in retail businesses curtail any additional traffic outside the coming and goings of the residents of
the property.
The location of the property in a commercially zoned area utilizes the existing utilities already
servicing the properties in this corridor of businesses. Thus requiring no additional taxing of the
current utilities.
With the completion of the light rail station approximately on half mile to the North of the
proposed development, the 4443 Tabor Loft/Worx development fully incorporates itself into both
Wheat Ridge's and the Front Ranges transportation plans to encourage proposals that commit to
reducing the impact that commuting and private vehicle use has on the surrounding community.

The image below is an excerpt from the Structure Plan within the City's 2009 comprehensive plan with
the subject property outlined in red. The Structure Plan "provides strategic guidance for future
development and redevelopment efforts. The categories displayed on the Structure Plan show the general
locations of desired future land uses, but the map symbols (especially corridor widths and sizes of activity
centers) are not intended to depict precise boundaries." (Note: the underlying aerial image predates the
construction of the I-70 ramps immediately west of the subject property.)

Mixed -Use Commercial
Existing Site Conditions:
The property is located on Tabor Street north of 44th Avenue and south of Interstate -70. The
ramps for 1-70 are adjacent to the property to the west. According to the Jefferson County
Assessor, the property is just under one acre in size (39,988 square feet), and it has on it a single
family home that was built in 1934. The majority of the site is undeveloped. Access is provided
from Tabor, although the existing driveway is not paved.
The site is currently zoned Agricultural -One (A-1), and it is surrounded by a variety of zoning
designations and land uses. Immediately to the north is an office/warehouse zoned Planned
Commercial Development (PCD), and to the south is Heine's Market which is zoned
Commercial -One (C-1). Across Tabor to the east are properties zoned residentially and
agriculturally. This includes a relatively well-established R-2 neighborhood, a vacant A-1
parcel, and multifamily development along 44`h Avenue.
Case No. WZ-18-01 /Kennedy 14
Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to develop the property into a live/work project. Although there is
no specific development being proposed at this time, a conceptual site plan was shared with
the group. The plan showed a row of 12 units running along and parallel to the northern
property line. A drive -aisle and parking are located south of the structure.
No outdoor storage would be permitted on the property. Potential end users could include
materials installers who need warehouse space, manufacturer representatives who need
showroom space, or design professionals who need studio and meeting space. The applicants
do not envision any retail uses on the property.
There are two options to change the zoning on the property. The first would be to rezone it to
a mixed use zone district category. The property's location would qualify it to be rezoned to
Mixed -Use Commercial Interstate (MU -C I) which is intended for properties on commercial
corridors within 500' of I-70. Another mixed use category to contemplate is Mixed Use —
Neighborhood which would be more compatible with the residential uses across the street.
The other option would be to rezone the property to a planned development district.
The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
• In addition to staff and 3 applicant/owner representatives, 3 members of the public
attended the neighborhood meeting. See attached sign-up sheet.
• Staff explained the site conditions, zoning in the neighborhood, and the reason for the
rezoning request.
• The applicant explained the proposed project and how a zone change to Mixed Use
could work for the property.
• The members of the public were informed of the process for a zone change.
• The members of the public were informed of their opportunity to make comments
during the process and at the public hearings.
The following issues were discussed regarding the zone change request and proposed
development:
• What is the current use on the property?
Single family residential.
• The building is proposed to be two stories in height. How will the upper story be used?
As either a one -bedroom efficiency apartment or office space supporting the use on
the bottom floor.
• Will outside storage be allowed?
No.
• How tall will the building be?
Roughly 29'.
Case No. WZ-18-01 /Kennedy 15
• The proposed development looks similar to the development to the north. How many
units are in that development?
Seven.
• One of the attendees indicated that he was generally supportive of the concept but
commented that with mixed use zoning, there are no assurances of what can be built.
He indicated that he would prefer to the see the property rezoned to a planned
development district so the design can be reviewed as part of the zone change process.
No written comments were received either before or after the neighborhood meeting.

4433 Tabor Loft/Worx
Project Proposal
Request for Zone Change
A proposal is being submitted for a zone change on a 0.9 acre lot at 4433 Tabor Street, Wheat Ridge,
CO 80033.
The lot is currently zoned agricultural and the requested proposal is for a zoning change to Mixed Use
Neighborhood (MU -N).
The subject lot is bordered on two sides by commercial structures with the back of the lot facing the
East bound I-70 on-ramp from 44`h avenue.
Background
The property has been owned by the same family for over 60 years. It was part of a larger agricultural
parcel that was sub divided and sold, with an existing storage building converted to a single family
residence. The current owner is part of the development team requesting the zoning change
Proposed Project
4433 Tabor Loft/Worx is a mixed use, "live where you work/work where you live" concept.
The proposed development is designed for 10-12 units comprised of 1,000 to 1,100 sq ft of warehouse
and residential space combined in one unit.
The targeted market is individual tenant/owners requiring working space for design, storage and office
areas while inhabiting the area above the work area.
We envision an "artisan' mix of complementary businesses. The concept of artisan is not so much of an
artistic focus but more a collaboration of individuals whose entrepreneurial goals reflect a live/work
environment.
Some examples of these are:
• Internet interactive design and support
• Commercial interior design
• Manufacturer representatives
• Professional engineering services
• Licensed individuals providing professional business consulting and work products (CPA etc)
Project Criteria for Review
The project qualifies for a zone change not deemed planned unit development under Sec. 26-112 due to
the fact that neither the land use size is greater than 1 acre nor the zone change application is for a zone
change to any commercial district except mixed use or to the industrial -employment district.
The front of the property faces Tabor Street with primarily residential and multifamily residences and a
6 acre tract of undeveloped agricultural zoned land on the East side of Tabor Street.
Subject property is located on the West side of Tabor Street and is flanked by commercial properties
and highway access behind it. The rezoning of the property to mixed use is utilizing the highest and
best use of the land to provide a seamless integration from the residential usage on the East side of
Tabor Street to the commercialized district on the opposite side of Tabor Street.
A "live where you work/work where you live" development is designed to have minimal impact both on
traffic flow and access to current infrastructures. Residents of these properties are not tied to normal
work flow patterns. The restrictive nature of the proposed covenants against walk-in retail businesses
curtail any additional traffic outside the coming and goings of the residents of the property.
The location of the property in a commercially zoned area utilizes the existing utilities already
servicing the properties in this corridor of businesses. Thus requiring no additional taxing of the current
utilities.
With the completion of the light rail station approximately on half mile to the North of the proposed
development, the 4443 Tabor Loft/Worx development fully incorporates itself into both Wheat Ridge's
and the Front Ranges transportation plans to encourage proposals that commit to reducing the impact
that commuting and private vehicle use has on the surrounding community.

The property is located on Tabor Street north of 44th Avenue and south of Interstate -70. The ramps for I-70
are adjacent to the property to the west. According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the property is just
under one acre in size (39,988 square feet), and it has on it a single family home that was built in 1934. The
majority of the site is undeveloped. Access is provided from Tabor, although the existing driveway is not
paved.
The site is currently zoned Agricultural -One (A-1), and it is surrounded by a variety of zoning designations
and land uses. Immediately to the north is an office/warehouse zoned Planned Commercial Development
(PCD), and to the south is Heine's Market which is zoned Commercial -One (C-1). Across Tabor to the east
are properties zoned residentially and agriculturally. This includes a relatively well-established R-2
neighborhood, a vacant A-1 parcel, and multifamily development along 44th Avenue.

The applicant is proposing to develop the property into a live/work project. Although there is no specific
development being proposed at this time, a conceptual site plan was shared with the group. The plan
showed a row of 12 units running along and parallel to the northern property line. A drive -aisle and
parking are located south of the structure.
No outdoor storage would be permitted on the property. Potential end users could include materials
installers who need warehouse space, manufacturer representatives who need showroom space, or design
professionals who need studio and meeting space. The applicants do not envision any retail uses on the
property.
There are two options to change the zoning on the property. The first would be to rezone it to a mixed
use zone district category. The property's location would qualify it to be rezoned to Mixed -Use
Commercial Interstate (MU -C I) which is intended for properties on commercial corridors within 500' of
I-70. Another mixed use category to contemplate is Mixed Use — Neighborhood which would be more
compatible with the residential uses across the street. The other option would be to rezone the property
to a planned development district.
The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
• In addition to staff and 3 applicant/owner representatives, 3 members of the public attended the
neighborhood meeting. See attached sign-up sheet.
• Staff explained the site conditions, zoning in the neighborhood, and the reason for the rezoning
request.
The applicant explained the proposed project and how a zone change to Mixed Use could work for
the property.
The members of the public were informed of the process for a zone change.
The members of the public were informed of their opportunity to make comments during the process
and at the public hearings.
The following issues were discussed regarding the zone change request and proposed development:
What is the current use on the property?
Single family residential.
• The building is proposed to be two stories in height. How will the upper story be used?
As either a one -bedroom efficiency apartment or office space supporting the use on the bottom floor.
• Will outside storage be allowed?
No.
• How tall will the building be?
Roughly 29'.
• The proposed development looks similar to the development to the north. How many units are in that
development?
Seven.
• One of the attendees indicated that he was generally supportive of the concept but commented that
with mixed use zoning, there are no assurances of what can be built. He indicated that he would prefer
to the see the property rezoned to a planned development district so the design can be reviewed as part
of the zone change process.
No written comments were received either before or after the neighborhood meeting.

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

NOTICE OF NEIGHBORHOOD INPUT MEETING
Date: May 23, 2017
Location: Wheat Ridge Municipal Building
7500 W 29"' Ave - 2°d Floor Conference Room
Dear Neighbor,
Silver Doubles, LLC is proposing a rezoning on property located at 4433 Tabor St.. A neighborhood
meeting will be held on May 23, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. at 7500 W 29`h Ave. Wheat Ridge, CO, aka Wheat
Ridge Municipal Building.
The purpose of the request is to allow a new workplace environment on a .91 acre parcel of land on the
West side of Tabor St. just South of 44`h Ave. The site is currently zoned as Agricultural. We are
proposing a rezoning to Mixed Use — Planned Development to facilitate a Live/Work community
aimed at residents, businesses and those who wish to combine their living and working spaces within
an architecturally distinctive and sustainable Live/Work enclave.
The City of Wheat Ridge has adopted a requirement that prior to any application for the rezoning of the
property an applicant must notify all residents and property owners within 600 feet and invite them to a
Neighborhood Input Meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to allow the applicant to present his
proposal to the neighborhood and to give the neighborhood a forum to express their concerns, issues
and desires.
A Staff Planner will attend the meeting to discuss City policies and regulations and the process
involved, however, the Planner will remain impartial regarding viability of the project. Keep in mind
that this is not a public hearing. Although a synopsis of the meeting will be entered as testimony, it is
the administrative process by the Community Development Director and/or the public hearing in front
of City Council where decisions are rendered. If you want input in the decision-making process, it is
imperative that you submit written comments during the public notice period and/or attend the public
hearing.
The neighborhood meeting is an informal setting that provides an opportunity for you to understand the
scope of the proposed project and the process for review. You will have the opportunity to speak with
the applicant and city staff and to ask any question that you may have related to the project.
If you have any questions, please call the Planning Division at: (303) 235-2846. If you are unable to
attend the meeting, you may mail comments or concerns to: City of Wheat Ridge Community
Development Department 7500 West 29th Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033.
Sincerely,
Tom Kennedy

Attending Staff: Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner
Lauren Mikulak, Senior Planner
Mark Westberg, Public Works Projects Supervisor
Specific Site Location:
Existing Zoning:
Existing Comp. Plan:
4433 Tabor Street
Agricultural -One (A-1)
Mixed Use -Commercial
Existing Site Conditions:
The property is located on Tabor Street north of 44h Avenue and south of Interstate -70. The ramps for
I-70 are adjacent to the property to the west. According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the property
is just under one acre in size (39,988 square feet), and it currently includes a single family home that
was built in 1934. The majority of the site is undeveloped. Access is provided from Tabor, although
the existing driveway is not paved.
The site is currently zoned Agricultural -One (A-1), and it is surrounded by a variety of zoning
designations and land uses. Immediately to the north is an office/warehouse zoned Planned
Commercial Development (PCD), and to the south is Heine's Market which is zoned Commercial -One
(C-1). Across Tabor to the east are properties zoned residentially and agriculturally. This includes a
relatively well-established R-2 neighborhood, a vacant A-1 parcel, and multifamily development along
44`" Avenue.

Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to develop the property into a live/work community. The preliminary site
plan shows 14 live/work units on the site. The units are proposed to have workspace, warehouse,
meeting, and/or office space on the first floor with a dwelling unit above.
The preliminary site plan currently shows a central drive aisle with buildings on the north and south
side of the property. No outdoor storage would be permitted. Potential end users could include
installers who need warehouse space, manufacturer representatives who need showroom space, or
design professionals who need studio and meeting space. The applicants do not envision any retail
uses on the property.
Will a neighborhood meeting need to be held prior to application submittal?
The applicant's current proposal will require a zone change, the process for which requires a
neighborhood meeting.
Planning comments:
The following items were discussed based on the applicant's proposal:
Zoning & Use
The existing zoning on the property is Agricultural -One (A-1), which only allows for single-family
homes and agricultural uses. A zone change is required for the proposed use. At the pre -application
meeting, there was discussion surrounding the pros and cons of rezoning to a mixed use or planned
development district. With the information staff currently has, a planned development is
recommended. This would allow the applicants to tailor the permitted uses on the property to cater to
their ideal tenant mix and to prevent retail use (which is unlikely to be supportable from a parking
standpoint).
The purpose of a Planned Development, as outlined in the City Code, is:
"...to permit the establishment of well-designed, innovative developments which may not be
feasible under a standard zone district, but which may be permitted through the use of an
approved development plan by assuring greater control and specificity of intended
development character, use, operations and maintenance, while at the same time allowing
flexibility and diversity.
While the city council recognizes that planned developments may vary certain design and other
requirements, the planned development process may not be used to circumvent the intent and
spirit of the protections afforded by this chapter."
The City's existing codes should be used as a starting point for this development, including for
setbacks, parking, landscaping, drainage, site design, and architecture.
There are two distinct steps in establishing a planned development. Step one is approval of an outline
development plan (ODP) that establishes the planned development zoning designation, permitted uses,
underlying development parameters, and general design concepts. Step two is approval of a specific
development plan (SDP) to provide specific site plans, building elevations, and civil documents. The
SDP and ODP are both approved at public hearings.
The ODP and SDP can be processed together or back-to-back. The applicant has expressed a desire to
process them concurrently. The review process is further described below.
Another option for zone change to achieve the proposed mixed use development would be a zone
change to mixed use. If that would occur, Staff would suggest is be Mixed -Use Neighborhood. While
the property would qualify for Mixed Use- Commercial Interstate (MU -C 1) due to it's location, the
MU -N would be more compatible with the low density residential neighborhood on the east side of
Tabor Street.
Subdivision
The property currently consists of one lot. If the units are platted as townhomes, the City would
review the subdivision. Any development with 6 or more units is processed as a major subdivision
and would be reviewed by Planning Commission and City Council.
If the units are platted as condominiums, the County would process the plat and the City would not be
involved in the review.
If the units are rented, the site is already a single lot, so no platting would be necessary.
Site Design
The preliminary site plan shows square-shaped units along the north and south side of the property.
Staff recommends consideration of a redesign that could include longer, narrower units that are
located entirely along the north side of the property. This would allow southern exposure to all units,
prevent any ice/snow issues, and provide additional space for parking, drainage, and landscaping on
the south side.
Development Standards
The City's existing codes should be used as a starting point for this development, and a follow-up
meeting is encouraged to review additional design proposals as the applicant assembles their design
team.
Refer to the Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM) and/or the mixed use code as a starting
point for establishing development standards for the project. The ASDM can be accessed online
(http•//www.ci.wheatridge.co.us/431/Guiding-Documents) and the mixed use code is attached for
reference in creating standards for the ODP.
Parkland Dedication Fee
Parkland dedication is required for all residential development based on the assumption that additional
residents in the City will impact the demand on parks and open space. When land is not dedicated for a
public park, a fee is required in lieu. This fee is $2,497.29 per unit. At this time, no land is required to
be dedicated, and the parkland fee shall 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 Department, phone: 303-424-3012
• Valley Water District, phone: 303-424-9661
• Fruitdale Sanitation District, phone: 303-424-5476
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.
Building Division comments:
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.
After land use entitlements are completed, the project will require demolition and building permits,
and the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy upon completion of the project, and only after passing
all of the required inspections.
Public Works comments:
The following items were discussed based on the applicant's proposal:
Drainage
Site drainage requirements are based on the area of disturbance created by the new development. Any
drainage ponds on the site will be required to be located in their own tract. More information on
drainage requirements can be found in the attached notes and on the City's Civil Engineering,_
Resources webpage. Full flood attenuation and water quality will be required.
Right-of-way Dedication and Streetscape
The width of Tabor Street in front of the property is currently substandard. Staff has reviewed the
roadway classification, surrounding conditions, and future plans; and has determined that a 15 -foot
right-of-way dedication will be required. This will match the ROW width on the property to the north.
As a collector street, Tabor will likely be expanded in the future to accommodate a center turn lane,
bike lane and detached sidewalks, somewhat similar to the improvements on Tabor north of the
Frontage Road.
Typically, new development is required to upgrade adjacent public infrastructure to meet current City
standards. In this case, because there are not improvements along Tabor, the Public Works
Department will accept fees in lieu of construction. The applicant would need to provide an
engineered cost estimate for review.
Review Process
This request will require a zone change and subdivision.
Zone Change
Neighborhood Meeting
The first step in the rezoning process is the pre -application meeting, which took place on February 16,
2017. 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
5
with a neighborhood meeting letter template and samples, if necessary. Additionally, the Community
Development department will pull the property and resident information from the 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 the Wheat Ridge Municipal Building Conference Room, or any other location the applicant
desires. There is a $100 fee for the meeting, and an additional 50 -cent fee for each page of mailing
labels provided to the applicant (average is about $243).
Staff will be present at the meeting to answer any zoning, land use, and process related questions.
However, the applicant will lead the meeting and inform the audience about the proposal.
Rezoning Application
Once the neighborhood meeting is complete, a formal complete application may be submitted by
appointment with a planner. The complete 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
zone change process. The case manager will review the application, and once all submittal
requirements are met, the application will be sent out on referral to outside service agencies (Xcel
Energy, water district, fire district, etc.) and other City agencies (Public Works, Economic
Development, etc.) for review. The referral period is 15 days, during which time the referral agencies
and departments may submit comments on the application. These comments, as well as those from the
case manager, will be forwarded to the applicant. Modifications to the planned development document
may be requires as a result of these comments.
After all comments have been addressed, a public hearing before Planning Commission will be
scheduled. A public hearing before Planning Commission will require the property to be posted. The
posting period lasts 15 days and requires a sign be posted on the property. Additionally, the
Community Development department will send out written notification of the hearing to all property
owners within a 300 -foot radius of the subject property. During the public hearing at Planning
Commission, the case manager will present the rezoning case to Planning Commission, and based on
an established set of criteria present evidence to support a recommendation of approval, approval with
conditions, or denial of the rezoning. The applicant and the public will have the opportunity to present
evidence and provide testimony in support or opposition of the rezoning application. The Planning
Commission will then recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the rezoning. This
recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for review and decision.
Regardless of Planning Commission's recommendation, the rezoning will automatically be scheduled
for a public hearing before City Council. The City Council hearing will require an additional posting
period. 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 evidence to
support a recommendation of approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the zone change. The
applicant, and the public, will be allowed to present evidence and provide testimony in support of
opposition of the zone change. 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.
Suhdivision
If a townhome plat is processed, City review of the subdivision will be required. The first step in the
subdivision process is a pre -application meeting. After the pre -application meeting is complete, a
formal application may be submitted. Applications must be submitted by appointment with a planner.
Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
A subdivision involving three or fewer lot or parcels is an administrative subdivision and may be
approved without public hearings. A subdivision involving 4 or 5 lots or parcels is a minor subdivision
and requires one public hearing before Planning Commission. A subdivision consisting of 5 or more
lots or parcels is considered a major subdivision. A major subdivision requires two public hearings,
one in front of Planning Commission, and one in front of City Council.
Upon submittal of a complete application, the case manager will review the application, send it out on
referral to outside service agencies (Xcel Energy, water district, fire district, etc.) and other City
agencies (Public Works, Economic Development, etc.) for review. The referral period is 15 days,
during which time the referral agencies and departments may submit comments on the application.
These comments, as well as those from the case manager, will be forwarded to the applicant.
Modifications to the subdivision plat may be required as a result of these comments. The applicant
must address comments and resubmit relevant documents. This process may need to occur several
times.
Major
Assuming the plat includes 6 or more townhome lots, the plat will be reviewed as a Major
Subdivision. Once all comments have been addressed to the case manager's satisfaction, the case will
be scheduled for a Planning Commission hearing. Planning Commission will make a recommendation
of approval, approval with conditions, or denial. This recommendation will be forwarded to City
Council for final action. Each public hearing requires a mandated posting period, during which time
the property will be posted with a sign, notice will be posted in the Wheat Ridge Transcript, and letters
will be sent out to all property owners within 300 feet of the property.
Once approved, a blackline mylar copy of the plat must be submitted to the City of Wheat Ridge in
order to be recorded with Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder.
The plat must be approved and recorded prior to the issuance of any building permits.
Attachments: Mixed Use Code, Neighborhood Meeting Template
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.
