Deputy City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
To effectively deal with the contInuing threat of mosqUito borne transmisslOn of West Nile Virus the
Jefferson County Department of Health and Environment (JCDHE) has contracted w1th OtterTail
Envlfonmental for integrated mosquito management. Mosquito season is generally May through
September In Colorado with peak activity months being July and August. Although we cannot predict
how severe West Nile virus season will be this year, a typically wet spring, followed by a hot summer,
can increase the population of infected mosqUitoes. JCDHE will be working with OtterTail
Environmental to control the mosqUito species that can carry West Nile Virus. The primary means of
control will be to monitor habitat suitable for mosqUitoes throughout the county and eliminate larvae
before they become adult mosquitoes. The serV1ces are detailed in the attached IGA.
OtterTail Environmental will provide Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM) services wh1ch include
identificatlOn and classification of mosquito breeding habitat, surveillance of adult and larval
mosqUitoes, larval mosquito control (applicatlOn of larvicides, source reduction, and/or biologic
controls), and public education and outreach. Adulticiding - the killing of adult mosquitoes through
aerial sprays and fogging - is not anticipated but the contractor shall maintain the capabilities to
1mplement, manage, and provide properly trained staff and supervisors to conduct adulticiding if
requested by JCDHE to do so. The proposed contract amount does not include the cost for
adultIclding.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Although this IGA is being presented to City Council at th1S time for approval, adult mosquito
surveillance began the first of May As is explained in Attachment I, negotiations and administrative
procedures at the JCDHE have delayed approval of the IGA until now
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
An alternative would be for the City to coordinate its own prevention and control program. While this
IS an option, it would neither be cost effective nor an effective countywide operatlOn. In add1tion, the
City would be responsible for identifying and mapping the affected areas, outreach and information to
all residents and for applying any necessary larvicides and insecticides.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Jefferson County and the City of Wheat Ridge share the expense for mosquito control equally. Total
cost for full prevention and control serV1ces In Wheat Ridge is $13,205.00, a 12% increase compared
to 2005 Wheat Ridge's portion ofth1s expense is $6,602.50 A portlOn of this increase is due to the
increase in the total service area for Wheat Ridge from 9 0 square mIles to 9.5 square miles. Funds
have been budgeted and are aVUllable in the Central Charges Division ofthe General Fund.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution 22-2006 - A Resolution Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement
(IGA) Between the Jefferson County Department of Health and EnVlfonment and the City of Wheat
Ridge for Cooperative Mosquito Management Program in the Amount of $6,602.50."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Police Department has been awarded a grant from the Lutheran Medical Center (LMC)
Foundation in the amount of $8,500.00 The Police Department anticipates expending thiS grant
during 2006 for equipment associated with the Project Lifesaver program. Our police department
anticipates partnering with the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department on this program. The grant
funds will cover the cost of transmitter bracelets, tracking devices, receivers and other necessary
equipment to locate Individuals who have wandered from their homes as a result of Alzhelmer's or
other dementia.
For specifics on this program, please see attached memo regardIng Project Lifesaver
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None
ST A TEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
During the past few years police agencies have frequently come mto contact with patients suffenng
from Alzheimer's or other dementia, who are being cared for by famIly members. Many of these
patients have a tendency to wander, which poses a sigmficant safety concern to the individual, their
families and the police department. Police agencies expend a slgnificant amount of resources in
search and rescue operations to locate these Indivlduals. The Project Lifesaver program is designed to
identify these indlVlduals in need of this program and provide them wlth a tracking bracelet.
Additionally, law enforcement is equipped with a proven means to locate them should they wander
from home and become lost.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The police department does not have the financial resources in the 2006 budget to begin thiS program.
Without this grant, funding would have to be included in the 2007 budget.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
By acceptIng the grant, the City will receive $8,500.00 from the LMC Foundation, thereby covering
startup costs for the Project Lifesaver program and equipment. The Crime Prevention Unit will utilize
volunteers to assist in the day-to-day operatlOnal requirements.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve the Resolution No 23-2006 amendIng the fiscal year 2006 General Fund budget to
ret1ect acceptance of the LMC Foundation Grant and adding $8,500.00 into the Police Department
account 01-211-650-660 "

"I move to table indefinitely the acceptance of the LMC Foundation Grant for Project Lifesaver"

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Jerry DiTullio and City Council
VIA: Randy Young, City Manager
FROM: Daniel G Brennan, Chief of Police
DATE: March 31, 2006
SUBJECT: Staff Report Project Lifesaver
-
Over five million people in the United States suffer from Alzheimer's or other dementia.
Nationally, over fifty percent of these people have wandered away from the safety of
their residence and become lost. When this occurs a tremendous amount of resources
can be expended by law enforcement and other public safety agencies as search efforts
are initiated to locate the victim A person suffering from Alzheimer's or other forms of
dementia represents a critical emergency as nearly half of them die or are injured if not
found within 24 hours. On March 21, there was an article in the Rocky Mountain News
detailing the death of a well know restaurant owner, who was suffering from Alzheimer's
and had wandered from her home in extremely cold conditions and snow Unfortunately,
when she was found in a neighborhood backyard she had already died as a result of
exposure to the cold.
In April, 1999 Project Lifesaver was started by the 43rd Virginia Search and Rescue
group Project Lifesaver is a non-profit organization comprised of law enforcement
agencies, search and rescue teams, and other public safety agencies that use the most
reliable technology available to quickly locate and return wandering adults and children
to their families. Hundreds of communities across the U S have now adapted Project
Lifesaver to locate residents who might wander away from familiar surroundings
because they suffer from Alzheimer's, Autism, Down Syndrome, Williams Syndrome,
Soto Syndrome, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, traumatic brain injuries or other conditions that
cause wandering Locally, several agencies are now participating in this program
including the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, the
Lakewood Police Department and the Loveland Police Department.
Project Lifesaver not only saves lives but significantly reduces the need for extensive
and costly search and rescue operations. There have been over 1,000 searches
involving Project Lifesaver to date, and the average time it has taken to locate the victim
is less than 30 minutes once the search is initiated. The Arapahoe County Sheriff's
Office has 32 people who have transmitters, ranging in age from two five-year old
autistic twins to a 91 year-old Alzheimer's patient. They have had 22 successful tracks
on missing persons to date The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has 13 clients
currently and they are in the process of growing their program. The Lakewood Police
Staff Report Project Lifesaver
March 30, 2006
Page 2
Department currently has six (6) clients. It appears the administration of this program is
accomplished by using a combination of administrative staff and volunteers.
To participate, the law enforcement agency joins the Project Lifesaver program. Many
agencies have partnered with civic clubs or used grant dollars to help defray the cost of
equipment needed by the law enforcement agency and even the family (some agencies
use budgeted dollars as well) The involved family member or caregiver contacts their
law enforcement provider to sign up. Those at risk of wandering wear a one-ounce
transmitter on the wrist or ankle that emits a constant pulsating radio tracking signal
24/7 The signal can be tracked over several miles When the caregiver discovers their
loved one missing, they call the police and personnel trained in Project Lifesaver
respond with a special tracking unit to locate the missing person.
The population of seniors who reside in Wheat Ridge is estimated at 27% of the total
City population. In addition, the community has fourteen (14) assisted living, nursing
homes or hospice centers, and is home to a large regional hospital. Most agencies
involved in this program offer the transmitters only to those individuals who reside in
private residences and not to those individuals housed in medical facilities.
The department has completed a study into the costs to initiate this program in the
Wheat Ridge community The initial costs for this program are
Two mobile antennas, nine transmitters, a year's supply
$6,700 00
of batteries and a battery tester for each participant.
Cost per each additional transmitter
$350 00
The department anticipates it would take six (6) hours per month of staff time to
administer this program, this is after the initial 2 Y, days of training for personnel involved
with the program (this time estimate is based on a very small program, more time would
be necessary as clients are added)
The Command Staff of the department feels this program is worthwhile and would be a
beneficial endeavor for our community A source of funding for the program and future
costs for additional transmitters needs to be identified from either private funds, public
funds or a combination of both. City Council direction on funding is recommended before
we proceed further Personnel resources to supervise the program and maintain the
program also need to be identified should City Council wish to proceed with this
program. If City Council approves and funding for the program can be identified, I would
recommend that the department begin working on a plan to initiate this program when
our overall staffing allows the department to fill positions in our Crime Prevention Unit to
manage this program later this year

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Community Development Department is requesting a budget amendment in the amount of
$5,000.00 to the BUilding DIvision budget to provide funding for abatement of building code
violations. No funding was provided in the 2006 approved budget.
This request is in furtherance of Councll' s strategic goal of providing better quality housing stock by
actively enforcing the City's codes.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
No other Board or Commission reviews budget amendments.
ST A TEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Most violations that reach the stage of abatement involve life safety issues. In some cases the
offendIng property becomes viewed as a neighborhood nuisance. In cases where property owners have
been served with notices to abate violations and the owner is either uncooperative or out of state,
compliance can only be gained by the Clty undertaking the abatement action. This Involves hiring
contractors to perform the abatement work.
Costs of Clty-mitiated abatement can be recovered by filing a tax lien on the property. A tax lien is
paid when property taxes are paid, so the Clty is relmbursed In the next tax year
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not allocate any funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds were not budgeted in the 2006 Budget for abatement of building code violations. There are
adequate funds in the General Fund undesignated reserves to fund this request.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
'"I move to approve ResolutlOn No. 24-2006 amendIng the 2006 fiscal year General Fund Budget to
reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of$5,000 for the purpose of
abatements ofbmlding code violations."

Commumty Development DIrector
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In 2004 Council first adopted amendments to the CIty of Wheat RIdge ComprehenslVe Plan that
extended the CIty'S plannmg or growth area to the area bounded by 1-70, W 32nd Avenue,
McIntyre Street, and W 44th Avenue In 2005 the same amendment wlth mInor modificatlOns was
adopted. The plan IS commonly referred to as the "Three Mile Plan" whIch IS reqUlred by state
statute pnor to anneXIng any property The Plan must be adopted annually
The 2006 Addendum addresses the same area as before and adds areas to the north ofI-70 In the
vlcImty ofK1plmg and 50th Avenue whlch Wheat RIdge agreed to annex m an IGA with Arvada.
The 2006 Addendum addresses the new KIplIng/50th Avenue and makes some changes to the west
area prevlOusly mcluded.
Plannmg COmmlSSJOn recommended approval wIth amendments.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
The Plannmg CommlsslOn held two publ1c workshops on a draft of the plan on February 16, 2006 and
March 30, 2006
At a publ1c heanng held on April 20, 2006, the Plannmg CommlsslOn recommended approval wlth
amendments. The amendments are dIscussed below
1. Staff recommended language concerning the IGA among the City, Prospect Recreation and Park
District and Cabela'slMetro District was recommended for IncluslOn. This language has been
Included on Page 8 under the dlScusslon of the Prospect Dlstnct.
2. Staff recommended language concernmg the formatlOn ofthe Longs Peak Metropol1tan DIStnCt as
a provIder of infrastructure and services WithIn the growth boundary was recommended for
Inclusion. ThIS language has been mcluded on Page 9 under Future ServIce ProvlslOn.
3. Based on public comment, a proposed trail segment was recommended to be added to the Parks
and Open Space Map. Thls trail connects W. 32 Avenue to the Clear Creek trail on the east sIde of
Applewood Golf Course. ThIS trail IS shown on the Parks and Open Space Map
4. The CommlsslOn had conSIderable discusslOn about the future land use of the area between the
proposed Cabela's store slte and Clear Creek. ThIS IS County owned land, the western portlOn of
which Isn't developable and the eastern portlOn which is occupled by TMAC and the asphalt
recyclIng facility. Planning CommlsslOn recommended shOWIng the future land use as Open
Space. This change IS not shown on the map
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Most comments recelVed dunng the publ1c work seSSlOns WIth PlannIng CommlsslOn concerned
details of the Cabela's development proposal and should be addressed at the hme ofheanngs on those
appl1catlOns.
Two proposed trails are of concern to the underlymg landowner. Coors has mdlcated thelr obJ ection to
these trails and thelr unwlllingness to dedicate easements or nghts-of-way for them for liabllity and
safety reasons. They are requesting that these two trails be deleted from the Parks and Open Space
Map. (See Attachment 1 ) The landowner has val1d pOInts about the second trUlI adJacent to Clear
Creek and staff recommends thIS trail be deleted. The golf course may change ownershIp and use In
the future and a trail connection mlght be appropnate. If It'S in a plan It can happen; if ItS not In a
plan, It won't happen. Staffrecommends keepIng thIS trUlI on the map
Staff ongInally indlcated "Commumty CommerCIal" as the recommended future land use for the
County land located between the Cabela's store and Clear Creek. It is the SIte of TMAC and the
asphalt recyclIng facility It could be part of the retail complex In the future, although not likely as a
stand-alone retail use The "Commumty CommerClal" deslgnahon would not preclude thIS from
happenmg. A "Pubhc/Seml-public" deSIgnatIon would reflect the current use A "Parks and Opens
Space" deslgnahon IS fUlrly limlhng. Staff recommends that the deslgnatlOn remam as "CommunIty
Commercial" as shown on the Future Land Use Map.
Arvada commented that the plan IS conSIstent WIth prevIous dISCUSSions and agreements. (See
Attachment 2 )
I:\Comdev\Comp Plan\Comp Plan Addendum 2006 CAF.doc
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not adopt the Addendum.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There IS no direct finanClal Impact m adoptIng the amendments. There may be potential future
revenue generated by any development occumng WIthin the proposed urban growth boundary, but
there WIll also be Impacts of proVIdIng servlces and Infrastructure to serve that development. The
decislOn to annex any such development IS dlscretlOnary, but the deCISIon should be gUided by
weighIng the potentlal benefits to the CIty agaInst the potentlal costs.

Attachments. Trails.pdf
Alan,
I wanted to confirm our conversation of April 19 about the pending Addendum to the Wheat
Ridge Comprehensive Plan I understand that plan will be considered by the Wheat Ridge
Planning Commission on the evening of April 20
Map 5 of the Plan concerns open space and trails Two trail proposed trail segments drew my
attention The first lays along the south border of a newly constructed, Coors-owned reservoir,
on the extreme southwest corner of the Cabela's / Coors properties, annexed into Wheat
Ridge about 1 year ago The map shows the trail alignment along the south side of that
reservoir (Lake B-5), then turning north along the east side of Applewood Golf Course I've
shown this as Area "1" on the attached PDF
- The second trail segment of concern extends west on the north bank of Clear Creek, from a
point at about the Eldridge Street alignment (as extended) to Mcintyre Street. I've circled this
segment as Area "2" on the attached PDF.
Both of these proposed trail segments lay on private property owned by Coors Brewing
Company Coors is not willing to grant trail easements for the suggested alignments
Homeowners east of Applewood Golf Course have already expressed concern about traffic on
an existing service road and placing a trail adjacent to several homes will be problematic with
those owners Introducing the public on private property entails unacceptable liability risks to
Coors
The trail alignment along Clear Creek will also involve dedication of additional right-of-way
We have already granted right-of-way for the existing Clear Creek trail between Eldridge and
Mcintyre, adjacent to the Highway 58 Service Road That existing alignment is within a few
hundred feet of the proposed alignment, and they parallel each other for about a mile, a
situation of redundant facilities Also, the proposed alignment along Clear Creek would place
the public directly adjacent to an active, private rail line That is a safety concern
Coors has no interest in granting a new right-of-way along Clear Creek for reasons of liability,
safety and the redundancy of trail alignments
Our disapproval of these proposed trail alignments has previously been communicated to local
home owners groups and the Colorado Department of Transportation in their ongoing
Environmental Assessment of the 32nd and 1-70 interchange area
My request is that the trail alignments noted above be removed from Map 5 of the proposed

A Plan for the

DRAFT
May 2006
ADDENDUM TO THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
URBAN GROWTH AREA ADDITION
INTRODUCTION
This document serves as an addendum to the City's Comprehensive Plan adopted by
City Council on October 25, 1999. Amendments tothe Plan were considered and
adopted on January 24, 2000
The adopted Comprehensive Plan does not identify areas of potential development
outside the City's boundaries The Plan contains a general discussion of areas of
potential annexation, but does not illustrate the areas on any maps or recommend any
future uses in these general areas Prior to any annexation, C R.S 31-12-105
requires that a municipality have in place a plan for the area, including proposed land
uses. Such plan may extend up to three miles from the municipality's boundary.
-
There are unincorporated areas to the northeast, north, west and southwest of the
current City boundaries Areas to the northeast and north are primarily unincorporated
industrial or multi-family enclaves which, although eligible for annexation, present
questionable economic benefit to the City versus the costs of providing services The
City of Arvadarecently disconnected from its incorporated area several parcels
located near Kipling and 50th Avenue. Under an Intergovernmental Agreement with
Arvada, Wheat Ridge agreed to annex these disconnected parcels.
A majority of the area to the west of Ward Road north of 1-70 consists of established
residential neighborhoods, public uses (schools), and a cemetery These uses
provide little benefit to the City compared to the costs of providing services A large
area west of 1-70 between 32nd Avenue and Clear Creek is vacant and may provide
development opportunities of benefit to the City Southwest of the City are
commercial areas along Youngfield and the established residential area of
Applewood
In the mid-1990's the City submitted to the Denver Regional Council of Governments
(DRCOG) its proposed urban growth boundary as part of the preparation of the
regional plan known as Metro Vision 2020. The identified urban growth area was
generally bounded by 1-70, W. 32nd Avenue, Mcintyre Street, and W 52nd Avenue
Containing a little over two square miles, this area was not incorporated into the
Comprehensive Plan
This Comprehensive Plan addendum addresses the potential urban growth area to the
west of the City and the parcels disconnected from the City of Arvada near Kipling and

The following sections of this addendum address two growth areas and they are
identified as follows:
1 West Area {that area generally west of the City bounded by 1-70, W. 32nd
Avenue, Mcintyre Street, and W. 44th Avenue}. A portion of this area has
been annexed by the City.
2. Kipling/50th Area {those areas near Kipling/50th Avenue intersection
disconnected from the City of Arvada}.
The portion ottheWest Area of the Urban Growth Areathat has been annexed by the
City is included in this 2006 addendum and by this reference hereby retains the
"Community CommerchalCenter" land use designation for the annexed property.

LAND USE
Existing Land Use
West Area
Existing land uses in the urban growth area are varied Along the north side of 32nd
Avenue are areas of low to medium density residential development. To the west of 1_
70 is industrial development along W 44th Avenue and State Highway 58 A COOT
maintenance facility is adjacent to SH58 at 1-70 The area to the west of 1-70 between
32nd Avenue and 44th Avenue contains a golf course, and several old gravel pits now
used for water storage. A majority of this land is vacant and undeveloped
Kipling/50th Area
Land uses in this area consist of a mixture of retail commercial, office, light industrial
and industrial uses. The Arvada Ridge shopping center was recently constructed
north of 50th Avenue. The Rocky Mountain Bottling facility is located to the west of
Miller Street.
- Development Constraints
West Area
Few natural hazard areas are present in the planning area. The Clear Creek 100- and
500-year floodplains generally parallel SH58 in the center of the planning area No
other natural hazards exist in the area
1-70, SH 58, and Clear Creek present constraints to development by acting as barriers
to providing road, utility and other infrastructure improvements to the central portion of
the planning area State and federal rules mandate where access can occur and the
manner in which rights-of-way may be crossed for installing utilities Responding to
calls for service in the planning area is made more challenging by the restricted
access these barriers present.
Kipling/50th Area
The smaller parcels comprising this plannil1g ar""aahavebeendeededtothe City of
WheatRidgefor right-of-way pUrposes and will not be developed. The larger parcel
consists of Miller Streefright~()f-wayand approximately 2:55 acres purchased by
Rocky Mountain Bottling. There are no development constraints present on these
parcels.

Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan - Urban Growth Area Addendum
County Plans
West Area
Because the urban growth area is currently unincorporated, Jefferson County has
jurisdiction over planning and zoning matters The urban growth area lies within two
subareas the County has identified for planning purposes. The North Plains Plan
covers that portion of the urban growth area north of Clear Creek and the Central
Plains Plan covers the area to the south of Clear Creek.
Originally prepared in the late 1990's, the Central Plains Community Plan has recently
been updated The process of updating this plan included extensive public meetings.
These subarea plans show recommended land uses in the urban growth area as
residential in existing established residential neighborhoods Applewood Golf Course
and Clear Creek are shown as major park/recreation/open space areas. The area
along W 44th Avenue south to Clear Creek is recommended as mixed use areas
containing office, light industrial, retail, and residential (up to 15 du/ac) uses. The bulk
of the large, undeveloped area to the west of 1-70 is shown as industrial
Kipling/50th Area
-
None of these areas was included in any previously adopted County Plan because
they were located within the corporate limits of Arvada.
Future land Use Map
WestArea
The Future Land Use map reflects the recommended land uses for the area The
recommended land uses were matched as closely as possible to the land use
categories contained in the Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan
The Future Land Use Map (Map 2) illustrates recommended land uses for the urban
growth area The categories used and the definitions, desired character, and
attributes of the various land use categories shown are the same as defined in
Chapter 2 of the Comprehensive Plan and are hereby incorporated as a part of this
Addendum
Future land uses for the planning area are shown on the Future Land Use Map on the
following page. The Plan establishes the following recommended land uses
· Existing residential neighborhoods at the approximate density shown in the
County subarea plan, SF (4)
. Existing golf course parks, and the Clear Creek floodplain as parks and open
space

The designation of "open space" is a designation to indicate the land should not be
developed. This designation does not mean that the property so depicted necessarily
will be owned by a public entity.
Kipling/5othArea
The smaller parcels and the eastern 60 feet of the larger parcel are to be used for
right-at-way for Kipling, 50th Avenue, and Miller Street. The remainder of the larger
parcel was purchased by Rocky Mountain Bottling to expand the truck loading and
maneuvering area for the facility, separating these activities tram Miller Street. The
Future land Use Map (Map 3) for this area shows the recommended land uses for
these areas.

TRANSPORTATION
The existing street network consists of the major north-south connectors of Youngfield
on the eastern border of the planning area and Mcintyre Street on the western border.
East-west connectors are W 44th Avenue at the north and W. 32nd Avenue to the
south.
1-70 and State Highway 58 provide regional, limited access highway connections in
the area. The 1-70/SH58 interchange is currently a partial interchange with only
limited movements provided The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)
has prepared plans for the completion of the movements at this interchange, making it
a full-movement interchange. This entails relocating the current eastbound on-ramp at
38th Avenue to the south and relocating the eastbound on-off ramps at Ward Road to
the east. Timing of the construction of these improvements is currently uncertain
Trails currently exist along Clear Creek from 1-70 west to Golden and along 32nd
Avenue from 1-70 west to Maple Grove Park.
Future Street Network
-
West Area
The future street network in the area will build upon the existing grid system of north-
south and east-west streets. The roadway classifications in this plan are based upon
the recommendations of the Countywide Transportation Plan The proposed street
network for the area is shown on the Roadway Classification Map (Map 4).
Improvements to complete the 1-70/SH58 interchange movements are needed to
improve not only access to the area, but to increase mobility for the region Because
of minimum spacing requirements, no new interchanges are proposed for 1-70 and SH
58 Improvements to the 1-70/32nd Avenue interchange to increase capacity will be
needed
1-70 and SH58 will continue to serve the dual roles of providing access to the area and
carrying regional traffic.
Major east-west streets included in the future street network 32nd Avenue and 44th
Avenue Streets providing north-south connections are Ward Road, Youngfield Street,
and Mcintyre Street. A new connection from Mcintyre Stroet south of SH58 to the
Youngfield Service Road at 32nd Avenue to a new interchange on SH58 is proposed
The new interchange is proposed approximately one mile west ofthe SH58/1-70
interchange and to the eastofthe existing Mcintyre interchange. This collector street

Mclntyre/320d Avenue collector with an underpass at 1-70. This will provide an
additional access to the Community Commercial area
Kipling/50thArea
Kipling will remain an arterial roadway in the area, providing north-south movements
for regional and local traffic. 50th Avenue has been constructed as a collector part of
the Arvada Ridge project and has been constructed to transition into Miller Street to
the south to eventually provide a continuous route for Frontage Road traffic. This is in
keeping with the Comprehensive Plan Roadway Classification Plan. Miller Street, a
collector, has been realigned to provide additional room for truck maneuvering at the
bottling plant. Miller Street and 50th Avenue provide important connections to and
from Kipling to the residential areas bordering Ridge Road, both in Wheat Ridge and
Arvada.
Future Trails
West Area
-
The County community plans for the area show potential trails extending along W.
32nd Avenue from Maple Grove Park to Mcintyre and on Mcintyre from W. 32nd
Avenue to the Clear Creek Trail A trail connection is proposed from 32nd Avenue to
the Clear Creek Trail in an alignment to be determined at the time of development of
the area
Kipling/50th Area
No on-streetbikeroutes ocoff-street trails are planned for this area. Sidewalks should
be required adjacent to any development along Kipling, both sides of 50th Avenue,
and Miller Street.

Future Service Provision
The City will provide general governmental services and police protection for any
areas annexed by the City Because the City ishotafulLservice City, water,
sanitation, and fire services wUl need to be provided by special districts inthe flltureif
any areas are annexed. The Long's Peak MetropolitarlDistricthas been forrned to
pmvidefinancing, construction,and maintenance ofihfrastructure within a portion of
the growth area. The Service Plan forthe District sets outthe serviceslo be provided,
which include streets, water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, parks and recreation,
parking, and TV and fiber optic. The District is required to include within its
boundaries any areaswithinitsservice area that are ann9xedbythe City.
-
Fire protection will continue to be provided by existing districts currently providing
services
Water and sanitation services will continue to be provided by districts currently
providing services within their respective boundaries Within the area currently not
served by water or sanitation districts, there are three options to consider"
. Inclusion into existing water or sanitation districts
. Formation of a new water and sanitation district, or metropolitan district, with
provision of services by the new district.
. Formation of a new water and sanitation district, or metropolitan district, with
provision of services by another district or districts by contract with the new
district.
Provision of services by an existing or new district will depend upon the capacity of
that district to provide treated water or sewage plant capacity and the financial ability
to construct improvements It is likely a developer will need to pay for any
infrastructure improvements, upgrades, or expansions. Any new sewage treatment
plants or expansions must be included in the Regional Clean Water Plan and be
approved by the State Department of Public Health and Environment.

Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan - Urban Growth Area Addendum
Stormwater facilities will need to be provided by developers as required by City and
UDFCD standards. Facilities will need to conform to any drainage basin master plans
prepared and adopted by UDFCD.
Parks and Open Space
Park and open space areas in the urban growth area are currently acquired and
managed by Jefferson County and the Prospect P3rk 3nd Recreation and Park
District. Two parks located just outside the growth area, Maple Grove Park and
Arapahoe Park, are provided by the Prospect P3rk 3nd Recreation and Park District.
Policies:
1 At the time of rezoning, the following items should be requested of a
developer, if applicable
a. Access easements across private property to public land;
b Dedication of private land,
c. Open space required with the development if located adjacent to public
land,
2.
Open space purchases should be based on regional demand for recreation
in the area and on the goal of preserving an open character and significant
natural features
-
3 The growth area is currently served by the Prospect Recreation and Park
District and the Jefferson County Open Space Department. There should
be improved communication among the district, governmental agencies,
and private organizations responsible for buying and managing public land
in the area. Improved communication among these groups could result in
more efficient management of public lands and a higher level of use
Coordination among these public entities and the planning departments of
the City and the county should facilitate more effective siting of private open
space to
a. secure access easements across private property to public land;
b. encourage dedication of private land by providing information about
open space incentive programs, and
c suggest, where appropriate, that the open space required in a
development be located to augment adjacent public land.
4 The acquisition of undeveloped land should be related to the following
planning objectives.
a. Maintenance of important visual resources;
b Maintenance of open spaces between developments;
10
Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan - Urban Growth Area Addendum
c. Provision of needed recreational opportunities,
d. Protection of significant wildlife habitats and wildlife corridors,
e Protection of areas subject to significant natural hazards, (e g
floodplains ),
f Protection of areas having cultural and historical significance;
g Provision of connecting trail systems,
h. Retention of unique or relict flora, (i.e., tall-grass prairie, sites with rare
and endangered plants, and sites with high quality riparian vegetation);
I. Protection of ecologically sensitive areas;
J. Prevention of soil erosion; and
k. Protection and conservation of vegetation
While these areas are desirable as open space, development should not be
precluded if sensitive site planning accommodates these concerns.
5 Public acquisition, management agreements between owners, and private
dedication of land to public entities, ie, conservation easements, are only
three of the methods that could be used to increase the amount of land
which remains undeveloped
6 Plantings in open space areas should be native or naturalized species and
should be varieties that require minimal maintenance, are drought tolerant,
and benefit desirable wildlife needs
-
Trails
Existing trails have been constructed along W 32nd Avenue and Clear Creek by
Jefferson County Future trails planned for the area include the extension of the W.
32nd Avenue trail from Maple Grove Park to Mcintyre and a trail along Mcintyre from
32nd Avenue to the Clear Creek trail. A connection between 32nd Avenue and the
Clear Creek trail is proposed These trail alignments are shown on Map 5
No trail~are proposed in the 50th/Kipling area; however sidewalks will be required
adjacent to any development to accommodate pedestrian traffic.
The provision of trails in the urban growth area should be based on the following
policies
Policies:
1. An expanded trails network should be developed that provides additional
trails for hiking, biking and equestrian use, and that precludes motorized
vehicles These trails should.
A. vary in length, ascent and nature experience,

2 Accessible trails should be provided for all citizens, including barrier-free
trails where possible, recognizing that trail users have different levels of
ability and seek different levels of challenge
3 New trail systems in critical wildlife habitat areas, i e. nesting and calving
areas, and wintering grounds, should be routed in a sensitive fashion,
and/or have seasonal closures to minimize stress to the wildlife.
4. Trail corridors should be negotiated which utilize floodplains, public rights-
of-way, leased private property, parks, and public open space
-
5
Liability releases should be used to remove this obstacle to the creation of
trails across private land
6 Areas of development should have trail connections to areas of natural open
space
7. Trails should be separated and buffered with landscaping from tAe streets,
aM roads, and parking lots when possible. Landscaped buffers should be
established between the Clear Greek trail and adjacent land uses.
8. Roadway projects should provide equestrian, pedestrian and bicycle
crossings. (e g , equestrian tunnels and grade separated bike crossings at
railroads ).
9 The Jefferson County Open Space Department should be requested to
assist in funding the Clear Creek regional trail corridor.
10 Local trails could be jointly funded through the Jefferson County Open
Space Joint Venture Grants Program. This is a joint venture program with
adjacent cities and park and recreation districts
11 Equestrian and jogging trails should be unpaved and marked
12
Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan - Urban Growth Area Addendum
12 Parking areas should be provided at trail heads to facilitate trail usage by
equestrians, hikers, bicyclists, etc.
13. Public facilities, e g restrooms and telephones, should be provided at major
trail intersections and significant open space sites where feasible
14. The local park and recreation agencies should be consulted to determine
potential trail connections
15. Developers should coordinate with public entities to provide trails and public
access along flood plains and/or easements such as ditches, roads, power
lines, etc., whenever possible
16 Developers should provide trail connections to adjacent open space areas,
trails, schools, bus stations, Regional Transportation District park-n-rides,
and light rail stations This includes providing a safe crossing at roads
whenever possible
Trail Design Criteria
1 A variety of trail systems should be provided with appropriate fencing and
signage to minimize trespassing
-
2
Trails should connect with others in the City and surrounding jurisdictions to
provide opportunities for commuting to other jurisdictions and to provide
multiple recreational alternatives
3 The trails should intersect at strategic points to allow travelers a number of
choices to reach a desired location
4 Areas containing endangered species or fragile environments should be
avoided
5. Intersections between paths should be defined with a good visual warning of
an intersection as it is approached.
6 Trails should take advantage of the diversity of the landscape through which
trails pass As the landscape changes, its dominant features should be
clearly seen from the paths, i e., good observation points for views and
vistas that feature landmarks.
7 Bicycle paths should be designed for safety and be clearly marked Safe
bicycle paths can be provided in the following ways
A. Providing wider roadways with paved shoulders
13
Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan - Urban Growth Area Addendum
B Providing off-road paths for multiple users
C. Utilizing road, rail, ditch or power line rights-of-way or easements

7340 W. 44th Avenue.
The Zonmg and Development code prescribes that publIc or pnvate tranSIt statlOns must recelVe
approval of special use permIt to be located m a C-l zone dlStnCt. Although the property is zoned
Planned CommercIal Development, the Zoning Admimstrator has determmed that C-l uses are
permItted on the property; therefore, a specIal use permit is necessary
Pursuant to SectIon 26-615, the Commumty Development Director has the abilIty to decide upon
applIcatlOns for ammmstratIve specIal use approval, WIthout reqmrement for a publIc heanng,
provided the followmg condItIons are met:
1 A completed application package has been submItted and fee paid;
2. The CommunIty Development Department has notlfied adjacent property owners by letter
notIce and the site has been posted for at least ten (10) days;
3. No wntten objectlons have been receIved m such ten--day penod,
4 The Commumty Development DIrector concludes that the cntena for approval, as set forth
below, are substantIally complIed WIth and support the request.
The Community Development Director can Impose conditlOns or stlpulatlOns upon the approval,
which may include phYSIcal design, operational, and maintenance consIderations to ensure compliance
WIth the cntena for review.
-
The Commumty Development DIrector shall also decide the followmg:
1. Whether the SUP runs WIth the land m perpetmty; or,
2. Whether the SUP IS personal to the applIcant and mayor may not be mhented, and lor,
3 Whether the SUP is granted only for a defined period, after which tIme the specIal use
shall expIre unless renewed subject to all of the reqmrements of thIS section

. PIL.". ,. ....M... ~!l.... . .,... "". .' ,..... ...... .........j.,
The bus servIce will provIde transportatIOn for casino workers and patrons. The buses will operate
from roughly 6 AM to 2 AM seven days per week. This transIt stop is coordinated wIth an eXIsting bus
transIt stop m Wheat RIdge at the Rodeway Inn at W 44th Avenue and Van Gordon. There WIll be one
drop-off and pick-up per hour It IS antICIpated that bus Idle tIme should not exceed 5 minutes per
stop. The applicant has mdlcated that there may be 120 bus riders each day
IV. SPECIAL USE PERMIT CRITERIA
Before a specIal use IS approved, the applIcant shall show and the CIty Council shall find that the
proposed specIal use.
1. Will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare, safety and
convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
The property in questIOn has always been utilIzed commercially No substantIal changes are
proposed to the site, except for restnpmg of the parkmg lot and installatlOn of benches.
The p1anmng staff believes that multl-modal transportatlOn should be encouraged and that the bus
servIce IS provIding a publlc benefit by decreasmg the number of vehicles trave1mg to and from
Black Hawk and Central CIty
There may be economic benefits to the CIty m retall sales tax Ifbus patrons shop at the antlque mall.
2.
Will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of physical or
operational characteristics of the proposed plan.
-
The casino bus operatlOn should not contribute to blight wlthm the neighborhood. A tlcket office
wlth an outside door IS proposed m the northwest comer ofthe bmldmg. With the exception of
parking lots stripmg and general clean-up, there will be no phYSIcal changes to the property
3. Will not adversely affect the adequate light and air, nor cause significant air, water or
noise pollution.
The sIte condltlons are not changing, therefore, there should be no Impact on Ilght or water to
adjacent propertIes. There may be some air and nOIse pollutlOn generated by buses Idling on the
property
4. Will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or unsafe parking,
loading, service of internal traffic conflicts to the detriment of persons whether on or off
the site.
The proposeu casmo bus operation will result in a small mcrease in traffic in the area, although the
traffic Impact analYSIS submItted mdlcates It wIll be mimmal. All traffic WIll be usmg 44th Avenue
whIch IS claSSIfied as a CommerCIal Artenal and has an average dally vehIcle tnp count of 14,000
The traffic Impact analYSIS prepared for the proposalmdlcates that the proposed casmo bus
operatlOn will generate approXImately 230 vehIcle tnps per day (115 entenng and 115 eXltmg the
Case No SUP-06-02/Casmo Transportation
3
s1te), a nominal mcrease over eX1sting traffic. It concludes that the existmg roadway system 1S
able to accommodate the traffic generated.
The analysis recommends that mtemal s1gnage be installed encouragmg people to use the 44th
Avenue access pomt. Due to the fact that Upham 1S a res1dential street and an emergency route for
the Wheat R1dge Fire Protection D1strict, use of Upham for bus routing wIll not be permitted. If
this request IS approved, the applicant will also be responsible for mstalling on-site signage
prohibiting the use of Upham.
The City's parkmg reqUlrements for both the antIque mall and the bus operahon have been met.
There are over 200 parking spaces on the property. Applymg the CIty's standards for retaIl
development, a total of 150 spaces is required for the retail component. Random visual inspectlOns
have revealed that there are usually less than 20 vehicles III the parkmg lot at anyone time under
current conditlOns. The anhque store's hours are from 10 AM unhl6 PM.
5. Will be appropriately designed, including setbacks, heights, parking, bulk, buffering,
screening and landscaping, so as to be in harmony and compatible with the character of
the surrounding areas and neighborhood, especially with adjacent properties.
Adjacent propert1es to the south and east along Upham and to the north ofW 44th Avenue are
resIdent1ally zoned and used. Propert1es along both s1des ofthe 44th Avenue frontage and to the
west are commerc1al in nature. All eXIstlllg improvements are presently m place therefore there
should be no 1mpact on the ne1ghborhood other than traffic generated.
6. Will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks, schools and
other public facilities and services.
-
All respondlllg utihty agenc1es are able to serve the property There will be no 1mpact to utihhes,
parks or schools as a result of the caSlllO bus operation. Th1s portion ofW 44th Avenue 1S
classified as a Commercial Arterial and 1S capable ofhandJlllg the traffic generated by the
proposed spec1al use.
7. History of compliance by the applicant with Code requirements and prior conditions, if
any, regarding the subject property.
A search of the City's code enforcement records has shown that there have been various zonmg
code vlOlations m the past. However, the vlOlations were always abated III a hmely manner
8. Ability of the applicant or any permitted-in-interest to continuously meet the conditions
of the proposed permit.
If the cond1tIons of an approved special use are vlOlated, the permit can be revoked. If the permIt
is revoked, then the use of the property for casmo bus tranSIt must stop It 1S III the applicant's best
mterest to follow the terms and conditlOns of any approval receIved from the C1ty Staff will be
recommending that If approved, It be for a one year period whereupon traffic records will be
revIewed for any negahve Impacts such as acc1dents occurnng due to the operatlOn.
9. Other factors relevant to the specific application.

Dear Ms. Reckert,
Thank you for your presentation in regard to the Special Use Pennit of Craig Caldwell owner of Casino
Transportation, Inc. on February 8, 2006
Based on remarks made, we concluded that at least ten buses and Fifty Automobiles or Sixty Vehicles per day would
be the total vehicle increase.
We feel it necessary to put our specific concerns in writing. We believe this will result in increased traffic congestion,
traffic hazards, and traffic conflicts to the detriment of persons and vehicle traffic adjacent to the parking area. It will
also overburden the capacities of the existing streets, 44th Ave. and Upham St. (Wheat Ridge Junior -Hi School foot
and Vehicle traffic, and Emergency Vehicles of the Wheat Ridge Fire Station.)
In addition, it is always impracticable and at times almost impossible to make a left turn on to or off of 44th Ave.
between Harlan and Wadsworth (except Pierce St), during the daytime hours. Other adjacent high traffic areas: Entry
off of 44th Ave. to First Bank & Offices; Chinese Buffet; Gemini; Albertson & Post Office; Safeway & Other Shops;
- and a Thorough-fare between 44th Ave. To 38th Ave.
In view ofthe above we do not believe a Special Use Pennit for Casino Transportation, Inc. should be approved.

Re: Special Use Permit 06-02
Weare writing to protest vehemently the proposed SUP-0602 to use the Stage Stop
parking lot as a bussing area for the mountain casinos. -
The idea of the noise and fumes from busses in the area every half-hour from six a.m. to
midnight every day - eighteen hours of our daily life on Upham Street is too unpleasant
to contemplate. And while we understand the busses won't actually be on Upham, the
increase in traffic is mevitable, for a street that is already overw;ed as a cut-through to
avoid the congestion and lights on Wadsworth. In addition to the drivers who do not
follow the 25 MPH posting, the access to 38lh and 44th will be further complicated for
everyone. Weare also concerned that casino passengers who have been drinking will
drive their cars on Upham, where many children live in the nearby apartments.
-
A saving grace for having the Stage Stop as a neighbor has been the hours of operation,
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Increasing traffic until midnight compounds the noise for the entire
street, and adds light pollution for the residents of 4330, 4340, and 4350 Upham, who
already have headlights shining in their houses from vehicles exiting east from the area in
front of the Stage Stop.
This proposal is contradlctory to the best mterests of this area. It doesn't fit with a
residential area less than 200 yards away The Stage Stop owner has repeatedly shown
IDS disdain for the neighborhood by renting his back open space for junk storage, which is
VIsible from our front door/windows. Please don't let greed consume common sense.

RE. CTI Special Use PermIt
Dear Ms. Reckert:
As a frequent user of CTI transportation services to the Central CIty casmos, I would like
to request that the penmt requested by cn be granted.
The proposed location at 44th and Vance would be Ideal for many of the elderly people
who ride the casmo buses. More people would nde the bus, not dnve thelY personal
autos, Ifthe buses came to this 10catlOn. ThIS IS good for the people and good for the
envuonment, not to mentlOn, It will save people money on gas.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
RegulatIOns concernIng the length of tIme a bUIldIng permIt IS valId are found in the InternatIOnal
BuildIng Code and InternatIOnal ReSIdentIal Code, both of whIch are adopted by reference In
Chapter 5 ofthe Code of Laws. There are also regulatIons In Chapter 26, [26-107 (3)] whIch
conflIct wIth those of the referenced bUIldIng codes
The proposed ordmance amends current regulatIons to make bUIldIng permits valId for 180 days
from the date of Issuance. The BuildIng OffiCIal would be authorIzed to issue one or more
extensIOns to the 180 days upon a JustIfiable cause beIng demonstrated.
The BUIldIng Code AdVISOry Board recommended the change to 180 days wIth the abilIty to grant
extensIOns
ThIS ordInance IS related the CounCil's strateglc goals ofplmmIng for growth and establIshIng a
strong partnershIp between the CIty and commumty by repealIng confllctmg regulatIOns, creatmg
defined tlmelmes for development, and providing a means to address problem constructIOn
projects.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
The BUlldmg Code AdvIsory Board recommended the change to 180 days wIth the abIlIty to grant
extensIOns.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The buildmg codes provide that a permIt is valId so long as work IS started wIthin 180 days of
Issuance and that work IS not abandoned for a penod of more than 180 days. The Chapter 26
proVIsion reduces the start up tlme to 60 days and the abandonment period to 120 days. No other
guidance IS gIven as to what constltutes abandonment of the work and the expiratIOn ofthe permit.
If a permit doesn't expIre If something IS done every 179 days under the current code, a permIt can
lIterally be valid for years. This results m complamts from neIghbors and endless open projects
files for staff. Under the current regulations, there IS no effective way to deal WIth projects that
aren't brought to completIOn.
The 180 day tIme frame (6 months) is suffiCIent time for most constructIOn projects except large
commercIal projects, new reSIdences, and perhaps some addItIons and tenant finishes If they are
complex. For endless constructIOn projects, the ordmance gIves us the ability to not Issue any further
extenSIOns, take the owner to court, and have the court order the completIOn wlthm a speCIfied tIme.
-
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
1 Extend expIratIOn tIme to 1 year WIth no extensIOns.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The CIty's regulatIOns and reqmrements for contractors are contamed in Chapter 5 of the Wheat
RIdge Code of Laws. Reqmrements are establIshed for two types of contractors: 1) those
performing work requmng a building permIt, and 2) those performmg working reqmring nght-of-
way permIts. BUlldmg permIt reqmrements are found in Chapter 5 Buildmgs and Buildmg
RegulatIOns; nght-of-way permIt reqmrements are found m Chapter 21 Streets and SIdewalks.
The proposed ordmance relocates the requIrements for contractor lIcenses for contractors
performmg work m nghts-of-way to Chapter 21, along wIth thc contractor lIcense fee
reqmrements. There are no proposed changes to the license reqUIrements.
Regarding reqmrements for contractors performmg work under a bmldmg permIt, the CIty'S
current msurance reqmrements are $1 mIllIon per occurrence and $2 mIllIOn general aggregate.
The proposed ordmance lowers the reqmrements to $300,000 per occurrence and $600,000 general
aggregate.
These msurance amounts were recommended by the BUIldmg Code AdVISOry Board.
This ordmance IS related the Council's strategic goals ofplannmg for growth and estabhshmg a
strong partnership between the City and community by orgamzmg regulatlOns accordmg to
subject, and lowenng burdensome and costly msurance reqmrements.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
The Buildmg Code AdvIsory Board recommended the msurance amounts proposed in the ordinance.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Relocatmg the nght-of-way contractor requirements IS a house cleaning item that places the
reqmrements m the appropnate section of the Code dealing With nght-of-way permits.
We have received several comments about these reqmrements bemg exceSSlVe, costly, and a
burden to smaller contractors. We have surveyed the reqmrements of other jUnSdlctlOns and ours
are some of the highest m the state. The proposed amounts are more m lme With the reqmrements
of other junsdlctions throughout the state.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY'
Amends Chapter 11 of the Code of Laws by amending the definitions of "Contract for purchase,"
"Fixed price," and "Fixed time" to make them consistent With state statutes regarding the regulation
of pawnbrokers. In 2005, the state statute was amended to reduce the "Fixed time," that is, time
during which an option to cancel the contract can be exercised, from 90 days to 30 days. It was also
modified to increase the "Fixed price," that is, the ceiling on the amount to cancel a contract for
amounts of $50 or more, from 1/10th to l/5th the Original price per month plus the original purchase
price.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The City's ordinance regarding the regulation of pawnbrokers tracked the state statues on
pawnbrokers (C.R.S. 912-56-101 et seq) until those statutes were amended in 2005. The proposed
amendments will conform the City's ordmance to the state statute.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An annexatlOn petition was submItted on Apnl 28, 2006 by Coors Brewlllg Company for the
annexation of property that was dIsconnected from the CIty of Arvada in the viClmty of the Rocky
Mountalll Bottling Plant at 50th Avenue and Miller Street. Under an Intergovernmental Agreement
between Wheat RIdge and Arvada, Wheat Ridge agreed to annex the dIsconnected parcels.
ThIS Item IS related to CouncIl's strategIc goals of plannlllg for growth and opportumties, and
estabhshlllg a strong partnership between the CIty and commumty The annexatIOn actIOn fulfills the
CIty's commitment to Arvada to annex thIS property
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None Only CIty Council acts upon annexatlOn petitlOns.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Under the MumClpal AnnexatlOn Act, the annexatIOn of property to a mumClpahty begms wIth a
findmg that the petltlOn IS m comphance WIth the state annexatIOn statute and a heanng IS set. ThIS
heanng must occur wIthm 30 to 60 days. The property must also be zoned wIthm 90 days of
annexation. Most landowners do not want to annex without the zomng entItlement takmg place at the
same time. MumcIpalItIes also should want the two processes to occur sImultaneously so the
muniCIpalIty and landowner agree on land uses, the nature of the development, and other zomng
Issues.
With zomng mvolved, a heanng and recommendatIOn from Planmng CommISSIOn are reqUIred. The
tImelmes prescribed by statute make it extremely dIfficult to conduct the required neIghborhood
meetmg, thoroughly review the application and resolve Issues WIth the applicant, provide the requued
heanng notificatIons, and conduct the Plannmg CommiSSIOn hearing pnor to conSIderatIOn by CIty
Council.
Tablmg the petitIOn allows sufficient tIme to process the land use applicatIOn through Plannmg
CommIssion. If tabled, the petItion will be brought back to Council at a later date to follow the normal
annexatIOn procedure.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
Under SectIon 2-71 ofthe Wheat RIdge Code of Laws, the CIty Council has three optIOns to conSIder
WIth this petition.
1
Find the petition IS not m complIance WIth state statute and termmate the annexatIOn
proceedings.
Fmd the petItIOn IS in compliance WIth state statute and set a heanng date for the
annexatIOn. This must be done by resolutIon.
Adopt a motIon to table the petItIon for a penod not to exceed 180 days.
