Kenneth Johnstone, Community Develo Director Date � City Of Wh6atP.,idge TO: CASE MANAGER: CASE NO. & NAME: ACTION REQUESTED: CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE PLANNING DIVISION STAFF REPORT Community Development Director Zack Wallace Mendez WA -17-15 / Hoffinan DATE: December 15, 2017 Approval of an 8' 4" (33%) variance to the 25 -foot front yard setback requirement on property zoned R-2 located at 4715 Saulsbury Street. LOCATION OF REQUEST: 4715 Saulsbury Street APPLICANT (S): OWNER (S): APPROXIMATE AREA PRESENT ZONING: PRESENT LAND USE Republic Garages Warren and Julie Hoffman 8,855 square feet (0.203 Acres) Residential -Two (R-2) Single-family residential ENTER INTO RECORD: (X) CASE FILE & PACKET MATERIALS (X) ZONING ORDINANCE Loc .. (X) NEIGHBORHOOD REVIATLIZATION STRATEGY Administrative Review 1 Case No. WA -17-12 /Hoffman Site JURISDICTION: All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to make an administrative decision. I. REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a 33% variance to the front yard setback for a single-family home in the Residential -Two (R-2) zone district. This zone district requires a 25 -foot front yard setback. The applicant is requesting an 8 -foot, 4 inch (33%) deviation from the standard, resulting in a 16 -foot, 8 -inch front setback. The purpose of the variance is to construct an additional garage bay on an existing garage. Section 26-115.0 (Variances and Waivers) of the Wheat Ridge City Code empowers the Director of Community Development to decide upon applications for administrative variances from the strict application of the zoning district development standards that are not in excess of fifty (50) percent of the standard. II. CASE ANALYSIS The variance is being requested so the property owners may construct an additional garage bay on the east side of the home. The property is located on the west side of Saulsbury Street, five lots south of 48th Avenue (Exhibit 1, Aerial). The existing single -story home is approximately 1,820 square feet, sits on a 0.2 acre parcel, and was originally constructed in 1959 per the Jefferson County Assessor. The property is zoned Residential -Two (R-2), as is the entire area surrounding the property (Exhibit 2, Zoning). The R-2 zone district provides for high quality, safe, quiet and stable medium density residential neighborhoods, and prohibits activities of any nature which are incompatible with the residential character. The applicants are proposing a garage addition that will encroach into the front yard setback. The plans indicate a single -car garage bay will be added to the existing undersized 2 -car garage. The proposed garage will extend into the front yard setback approximately 8 feet, 4 inches. This location is the most feasible location for a garage addition, as it will be adjacent and incorporated into the existing garage. There is no front or side yard space to expand or build a garage. A detached one -car garage in the rear yard reduces the functionality of a fully integrated garage unit and diminishes the functionality of the rear yard space. Complicating the site plan is a jog in Saulsbury Street, which cuts across the front of the property at an angle. The deepest portion of the lot is located along the northern property line. The existing garage is located between 30 and 34 feet from the property line. The proposed garage will be approximately 21 feet away from the property line at its furthest point, and 16 feet, 8 inches from the front property line at its closest point (Exhibit 3, ILC and Site Plan). The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property, and an investment supported by the City's adopted Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS). The NRS calls for the rehabilitation of Wheat Ridge's older and smaller (as compared to Jefferson County market demands) housing stock to help homes become more marketable for contemporary homeowners. A review of new single-family home permits in the City of Wheat Ridge show some with 2 -car garages between 27 and 30 feet wide, while others have 3 -car garages at 31 feet wide. Staff finds that a typical 2 -car garage measures Administrative Review Case No. WA -17-12 /Hoffman approximately 24' x 24' at a minimum, with home builders often accommodating larger garages. The exiting garage was constructed with the home in 1959 and measures approximately 20' x 21'. The garage size is insufficient to accommodate the needs of modern vehicles, and essentially functions as an oversized one -car garage. The proposed garage would result in a 3 -car, 34 -foot wide garage on the subject property. The depth of the existing garage will remain 21 feet, while the depth of the new garage bay will be 24 feet deep, to better accommodate modern vehicles (Exhibit 3, ILC and Site Plan and Exhibit 4, Elevations). Ultimately, the proposed variance requested would result in a 16 -foot, 8 -inch front yard setback at the garage's closest point to the front property line. R-2 Development Standards: Required Actual Lot Area 9,000 square feet (min) 8,855 square feet Lot Width 75 feet (min) 77.6 feet One -family dwelling: Required House + Proposed Addition Building Coverage 40% (max) —24.3% Height 35 feet (max) —12 feet to mid roof Front Setback (East) 25 feet (min) 16 feet, 8 inches Side Setback (North) 5 feet (min) 6.6 feet Side Setback (South) 10 feet (min) 10.7 feet Rear Setback (West) 10 feet (min) 36.6 feet During the public notification period neither inquiries nor objections were received regarding the variance request. III. VARIANCE CRITERIA In order to approve an administrative variance, the Community Development Director must determine that the majority of the "criteria for review" listed in Section 26-115.C.4 of the City Code have been met. The applicant has provided their analysis of the application's compliance with the variance criteria (Exhibit S, Criteria Responses). Staff provides the following review and analysis of the variance criteria. 1. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is located. If the request were denied, the property would continue to yield a reasonable return in use. The property would continue to function as a single-family home, regardless of the outcome of the variance request. Staff finds this criterion has not been met. 2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. Few, if any, homes along Saulsbury Street deviate from the required 25 -foot front yard setback. The 8 -foot 4 -inch encroachment will be noticeable as one travels along Saulsbury Street but Administrative Review Case No. WA -17-12 /Hoffman will not change the essential character of the area. The garage is designed with upgraded materials, including masonry, to be as compatible as possible with the existing home. The garage bay will face into the site, not the street, and a slight offset will create some visual interest. It should also be noted that no comments, concerns, or objections were received by neighbors during the posting period. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 3. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which would not be possible without the variance. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property, consistent with the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy. The investment in the property is considered substantial, as it creates a more garage space, an often appealing feature to the modern homebuyer, and is encouraged in the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy. Due to the lot size and placement of the home, this expansion would not be possible. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 4. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property involved results in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out. The jog in Saulsbury Street creates the need for such a large variance request even though the encroachment is actually trapezoidal in shape because the setback is measured parallel to the street (Exhibit 3, ILC and Site Plan and Exhibit 4, Elevations). At its furthest point from the street the garage will be 21 feet away from the property line (a 4 -foot variance), while at its closest point will be 16 feet 8 inches away from the front property line. It is likely a variance would be needed to create garage space that is requested by modern homebuyers, and the jog in Saulsbury Street amplifies the variance request. Side setbacks do not allow adequate travel ways into the rear yard for a detached garage. A detached garage in the rear yard would also reduce the amount of livable outdoor space on the property significantly. Finally, the proposed 1 car addition is located next to the existing garage bay on the home, the most logical location for such an addition. Staff finds that there is a unique hardship, rather than a mere inconvenience. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 5. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. The property was platted and the home constructed in 1959. The jog in Saulsbury Street was created by an offset in the location of Saulsbury Street near 44th Avenue and the location of Saulsbury Street at 48th Avenue. The Saul Subdivision dedicated Saulsbury Street from its prior dead end, located approximately 150 feet south of the subject property, to 48th Avenue. The two homes located on the south side of 48th Avenue at Saulsbury were built in the 1920s, and the location of Saulsbury Street is directly between these two properties, but misaligned with the Saulsbury Street extending north from 44th Avenue (Exhibit 6, Subdivision). Administrative Review Case No. WA -17-12 /Hoffman The current owner purchased the property in 2014. As such the current owners had no hand in the platting of the lot, dedication of Saulsbury Street, or construction of the home. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 6. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located, by, among other things, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increasing the congestion in public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood. The request would not be detrimental to public welfare and would not be injurious to neighboring property or improvements. It would not hinder or impair the development of the adjacent properties. The adequate supply of air and light would not be compromised as a result of this request. The request would not increase the congestion in the streets, nor would it cause an obstruction to motorists on the adjacent streets. The addition would not impede the sight distance triangle and would not increase the danger of fire. It is unlikely that the request would impair property values in the neighborhood. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 7. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to the property. The jog in Saulsbury impacts approximately 4 homes, while the development pattern of now undersized 2 -car garages (by current standards) can be found throughout the neighborhood. Staff finds that this criterion has been met. S. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. This request is not required to meet building codes pertaining to the accommodation of persons with disabilities. Staff finds this criterion is not applicable. 9. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual This request does not trigger compliance with the Architectural and Site Design Manual. Staff finds this criterion is not applicable. Administrative Review Case No. WA -17-12 / Hoffman IV. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Having found the application in compliance with the majority of the review criteria, staff recommends APPROVAL of a 33% (8 foot, 4 inch) variance from the front yard setback requirement of 25 feet, resulting in a front yard setback of 16 feet, 8 inches for a property zoned R-2 located at 4715 Saulsbury Street. Staff has found that there are unique circumstances attributed to this request that warrant approval of a variance. Therefore, staff recommends approval for the following reasons: 1. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this applicant, which is not possible without the variance. 2. The request is consistent with the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy's goal for the modernization and expansion of Wheat Ridge's housing stock to make it more livable and marketable for current and future homeowners. 3. The particular physical surrounding results in a particular and unique hardship as distinguished from a mere inconvenience. 4. The hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. 5. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located. 6. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. With the following conditions: 1. The design and architecture of the proposed addition shall be consistent with representations depicted in the application materials, subject to staff review and approval through review of a building permit.

Asking to build an additional one car garage attached to my existing one car garage. Other neighbors on our block have a two garage and some with a detached also. 2. It would not. Other neighbors have two car garages. 3. Just purchased the house recently. This project would allow us to protect our investment (vechile). 4. It would not be possible to build a detached garage in the back yard. The side distances are 11' on south and 9' on north it would be difficult to make a driveway work. An attached garage make more sense. 5. The position of the house on the lot makes it harder to build a detached garage. The size of the lot is also a factor. 6. Allowing us to build the garage would not be detrimental to the public. Others neighbors have 2 car garages. We would not be expanding our present curb cut. 7. Other neighbors have similar and are not unique to our property. Thank you, Julie and Warren Hoffman 6b. With the side set back of 11' and 10' from the the house to the side property lines, it would be extremely difficult to back up from the back yard to the street. 6c. There is no other place for us to build the garage and comply with zoning setbacks.

Per Section 26-115 of the Wheat Ridge Municipal Code, the reviewing authority (Community Development Director, Board of Adjustment, Planning Commission, or City Council) shall base its decision in consideration of the extent to which an applicant demonstrates that a majority of the following criteria have been met: 1. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is located. 2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. 3. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which would not be possible without the variance. 4. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property results in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a mere inconvenience. 5. If there is a particular or unique hardship, the alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. Rev. 5/2014 6. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located, by, among other things, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increasing the congestion in public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood. 7. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to the property. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. [Does not typically apply to single- or two-family homes.] \'9/ The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the 7. / Architectural and Site Design Manual. [Does not typically apply to single- or two-family homes.] Community Development Department • (303) 235-2846 - www.ci.wheatridge.co.us Review Criteria: Variance Warren & Julie Hoffman 4715 Saulsbury Street November 7, 2017 6a. 1. Asking to build an additional one car garage attached to my existing one car garage. Other neighbors on our block have a two garage and some with a detached also. 2. It would not. Other neighbors have two car garages. 3. Just purchased the house recently. This project would allow us to protect our investment (vechile). 4. It would not be possible to build a detached garage in the back yard. The side distances are 11' on south and 9'.on north it would be difficult to make a driveway work. An attached garage make more sense. 5. The position of the house on the lot makes it harder to build a detached garage. The size of the lot is also a factor. 6. Allowing us to build the garage would not be detrimental to the public. Others neighbors have 2 car garages. We would not be expanding our present curb cut. 7. Other neighbors have similar and are not unique to our property. Thank you, Julie and Warren Hoffman 6b. With the side set back of 11' and 10' from the the house to the side property lines, it would be extremely difficult to back up from the back yard to the street. 6c. There is no other place for us to build the garage and comply with zoning setbacks.
