PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION 30-2006 - A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO,
ADOPTING THE NORTHWEST SUBAREA PLAN AND BY SUCH
ADOPTION, AMENDING THE WHEAT RIDGE COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN
Mayor DiTullio opened the public hearing.
Resolution 30-2006 was introduced by Mr Schulz and he read the executive summary
Alan White, Director of Community Development presented the staff report. He stated
that notice of the public hearing was given as required by state statute In addition,
letters and amendments were sent to approximately 80 owners in this area
Jeff Winston, principal of Winston & Associates and Consultant to the Community
Development Department, made a PowerPoint presentation on the proposed Northwest
Subarea Plan
Alan White summed up the presentation and described three proposed amendments to
the plan
Connie Burg, 5195 Swadley Street, not in favor or opposed, and is just asking that the
Council hold in the highest regard the quality of life of the existing residents
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 26, 2006
Page -3-
Janet Bell, 10095 W 34th Avenue, testified that she did participate in many of the
planning sessions that Winston & Associates conducted She has questions about
whether the enterprise zone in the area still existed She has concerns about the lack of
infrastructure, including drainage improvements, in the efforts to market development
and redevelopment. She questioned potential 1-70 improvements and the impact on the
area, and some suggestions on building placement. The next piece is involving a panel
of people experienced in development R.F P 's and the shifts in the current market
environment and implementation for the salability She strongly supports the sub-area
plan approach
John Cillessen, property owner at 49th Place and 52nd Ave and Swadley Avenue,
testified that there are a whole lot more roads than were talked about at first. He stated
that the parcels are too small for development. He doesn't believe that the plan should
be adopted Other considerations need to taken and looked at.
Byron Kelly, 12681 W 49th Avenue, testified that he is a professional engineer with
background in railroading and light rail. He has attended several of the planning
sessions He stated that traffic is and will continue to be a major concern You have not
approached this right regarding the grade separation for the railroad You need to get
involved with CDOT and RTD I think it is a good idea to do this, but since it is an
advisory document, there are no teeth to the document.
Bob Harmsen, 12068 W 50th Place, believes that there should be more thought put
into the plan He does not see any economic advantage to the plan, we are cutting the
property into too small pieces There is no railroad right of way in Mt. Olivet Cemetery
With so much traffic, where are all the pedestrians going to walk? I don't think this is the
plan that we need
Mr Womble left the meeting at 814 p m. He returned at 816 p m.
Sharon Peterson, trustee for the property at 12360 W 49th Place, testified that she
sees problems with traffic and drainage I think the plan is premature With the streets,
there is no room left for development. Increasing density will increase traffic She asks
that the plan not be adopted until there is more input from other agencies involved in
this.
Ranya Kelly, 12601 W 49th Avenue, she agrees with the previous individuals that
testified in opposition to the plan
Kim Calomino, 4070 Dover Street, spoke in support of the plan It is a guiding
document as we move forward over the next 6, 8 and 10 years She stated that this is a
thoughtful and forward thinking vision that identified appropriate policy goals We can't
neglect, misuse or misdirect this opportunity in line with the goals of Wheat Ridge 2020
She stated that density is really important to allow mixed use and allow for a range of
affordability The Charter is not an appropriate location for addressing density
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES. June 26, 2006
Page -4-
John Geiger, property owner at 12280 W 50th Place, stated that by the time the road
and drainage goes in, his property is worthless. He believes there needs to be more
research before adopting the plan
Sean Baker, property owner at 5040 Ward Road, recommends conditional approval He
sees this as a first step of a many step vision He has big traffic and drainage concerns
The additional language relieves some of his concerns He is worried about having to
give up a third to half of his property for roads Who is going to pay the burden? It would
be nice to see a nice project here
Tom Beyer, 165 Dudley, property owner in that area, asks that Council moves a little
slower on this
Recess called at 8 33 P m Reconvened at 8 44 P m
Mr White spoke to the changing nature and adaptability of comprehensive or sub-area
plans according to the needs and desires of the area and the process for amendment.
In response to questions from citizens he stated that the enterprise zone is still in effect.
He addressed the proposed relocation of ramps at 1-70 and 44th Avenue There are not
immediate cures to the drainage and traffic issues included in the plan The only way to
sub-divide a parcel is by application of the property owner in a public hearing process It
is an advisory document. Because of the limitations of the railroad and the State
Highway, a grid system is a good approach Subdivision of the parcels and creating
street frontage also increase property values He does not believe that we wait until
RTD completes the EIS, and that it is important that we have a plan in place for the
record before that process takes place
Mr Winston stated that the nature of the plan is to address the problems in the area He
addressed this issue of the railroad crossings brought up in testimony The importance
of the plan is predictability, not finality Ten years in a developer's framework is
tomorrow If the developer knows that there is an overall strategy, it increases the
attractiveness of the parcels to development. It is important to have a plan in place,
because in the absence of one, we may preclude the possibility of a transit-oriented
development.
City Council asked questions of staff
Mayor DiTullio closed the public hearing
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 26,2006
Page -5-
Motion by Mr Schulz to adopt Resolution 30-2006 with the following amendments
1 The following language will be added to the Northwest Sub-area Plan
Introduction on page 4 "The plan is an advisory document and is not
mandatory. It provides guidelines for development and design and is
not intended as strict requirements for development."
2 In the Land Use Section on page 16, the following statement will be deleted
"LANDSCAPE: The area along Ward Road should be landscaped at least
10 feet from the right of way."
3 In the Traffic Section on page 22 under the Ward Road discussion, the
following statement will be added "When Ward Road is widened,
consideration should be given to streetscaping in the roadway design."
Seconded by Mrs Rotola
Mr Gokey finds it difficult to support a sub-area plan that goes all the way over to
Kipling Does it impact businesses and landowners? And none of them were notified
Let's be open and transparent and let's not be selective I agree with the people that
came and spoke from the area, we need a little bit more time and more thought to be
added to this I don't think it is a horrible document, it's just lacking in those specific
areas I would like for us to feel confident, whichever direction this goes, that in 20
years somebody doesn't say who is the egg-head who voted for this one I just don't
want to stick my name on this one without a little bit more work to go into it.
Motion by Mrs Berry to amend the Resolution to Strike #2 and insert:
"The Northwest sub area plan shall take precedence over the Comprehensive
Plan for the portion of the City covered by the Subarea Plan. Where the
Comprehensive Plan conflicts with the Northwest Subarea Plan, the Northwest
Subarea Plan shall super cede the Comprehensive Plan"; seconded by Mrs
Adams, carried 6-2, with Womble and Gokey voting no
Mr Gokey just wanted to caution everybody that this is a huge leverage tool that can
either be used correctly or incorrectly
Motion as amended carried 7 -1, with Mr Gokey voting no

Item 4.
Public Meeting on 2007 Budget.
Mayor DiTullio opened the public hearing
Mr Stites introduced the item and read the executive summary
Tom Slattery, 6869 W 32nd Avenue, representing Wheat Ridge United Neighborhoods,
read a letter from the organization into the record requesting that Council authorize the
staff to print additional hard copies of the preliminary budget and make them available
for citizens to purchase at a nominal cost. This will allow citizens to review the budget.
Louise Turner, 11256 W 38th Avenue, supports the United Neighborhoods request.
The budget needs to be easy to use. There should be a table of contents and numbered
pages There should be detailed accounting regarding fringe organizations like the
Urban Renewal Authority, the Wheat Ridge Business District, Cabelas, the Longs Peak
District, and Wheat Ridge 2020 The citizens have a right to know how the money is
spent that is allocated to these groups. The budget document should be smaller She
does not like the feature of "Did you know?"
Mr Goff stated he would provide extra preliminary budget copies and also have a copy
at the library and Senior Center The adopted budget will be on the website and he is
contemplating on having the preliminary budget on the website

FUND BUDGET TO REFLECT THE APPROVAL OF A SUPPLEMENTAL

AUTHORITY IN THE AMOUNT OF $100,000
Resolution 31-2006 was introduced by Mrs Rotola. She read the executive summary
Motion by Mrs Rotola to approve Resolution 31-2006, seconded by Mr Schulz.
Charles Durbin, 3703 Ames Street, testified in opposition to this resolution You should
stop the bleeding, funds are going out, but the sales tax revenue isn't going anywhere I
know that the funding needs to continue for the lawsuit, but you should not extend the
IGA until 2010
Upon questioning by Mr Womble, Mr Goff explained the background and the reasons
for this IGA.
Mrs Sang will not be supporting this because while she agrees that we should give
them $100,000, it should not go on until 2010
Mr Gokey will not support this because Mr Durbin is on to something What do we
really want to fund? Can we put Urban Renewal, Wheat Ridge 2020 and Wheat Ridge
Business District together and still have a good product? It is a viable concept and
something we should look at.
Motion by Mr Stites to amend the IGA to change the year to 2008, seconded by Mrs
Sang, carried 5-3, with Councilmembers Berry, Schulz, Adams voting no

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Colorado State Legislature recently adopted legislatIon substantIally amending Part 2, Article
14 of Title 25 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (the "Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act" or the "Act")
The Act explicitly states that local authorities may enact rules and regulations similar to those
promulgated in the Act; however, in no event shall such rules and regulations be less stringent than
those promulgated by the State in SectIon 25-14-207, C.R.S. (as amended by HB 06-1175). The
City has previously adopted provisions concerning limitations on smoking in public places, codified
as Article II of Chapter 9 of thc Codc of Laws (the "Code"). This ordinance amends Article II of
Chapter 9 to conform to the same provisions of the Act.
Because Article II of Chapter 9 of the Code is currently less restrictive than the recently amended
State statute, the proposed ordinance provides that the Code will substantially comply with the Act.
In sum, smoking In public places IS allowed only in certain enumerated locatIOns, and fines (but not
jail time) are imposed for the violatIon of these regulations.
COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Whether the Code should be amended to substantially comply with the newly enacted State
legIslation concernmg smoking in public places.

C.R.S (as amended hy HB 06-1175).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In complIance with State statute, the City shall continue to collect fines for vIOlation of the same.
Seventy-five percent (75%) of any fine collected m the City shall be transmitted to the treasury of
the City, and the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) shall be transmitted to the state treasurer,
who shall credit the same to the general fund.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill 14-2006, an Ordinance Amending Article II of Chapter 9 of the
Code of Laws of the City of Wheat Ridge, concerning smoking in public places, on second readmg,
and that it take effect Immediately upon adoption."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.
The Denver Water Department has entered mto an agreement With the Valley Water Distnct to
construct a major transmission main extending from 26th and Kipling to approximately 43rd and
Miller Court. This segment crosses a portion of the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt, owned by the City
The Denver Water Department has asked that the City grant an easement for constructIOn of and
access to this transmission line. The ordinance approves an easement agreement, which reflects
requirements imposed by the City of Wheat Ridge.
The City granted an easement In August of 2005 for this project. Denver Water has redesigned the
path of the water main and IS requesting that a portion of the easement granted in 2005 be released
and an easement for the new alignment be granted.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The proposed major transmission main IS needed by Denver to satisfy ItS supply obligations to the
Valley Water District. The Valley Water District provides water to portions of the City of Wheat
Ridge. In the event Denver were not able to obtain the easement through this easement agreement,
it is highly likely that Denver would condemn the easement.
Staff has met with representatives from Denver. The main line itself and the proposed easement
have been redesigned to accommodate the needs of Wheat Ridge as they were identified during m-
field meetmgs. The alignment of the easement is chosen to mmimize damage to vegetation and
wildlife in the greenbelt. Nevertheless, some residual impact will remain, and it will be some years
before trees and brush cover the easement alignment.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
AL TERNA TlVES CONSIDERED:
Do not approve the easement agreement, force Denver to bring a condemnation action.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The original easement area was appraised at $31,600 This was paid to the City of Wheat Ridge
(25%) and Jefferson County Open Space (75%) to reflect the origmal purchase agreement. This
amount was paid by Denver Water as compensation for the grant of the easement. The difference in
the amount to be paid for the new easement and the refund to Denver Water for the current
easement IS $14,125 82 This additional amount will be paid to the City of Wheat Ridge and
JetTerson County Open Space in the same percentages.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill 15-2006, an OrdInance Approving the PartIal RevocatIOn of an
Easement and the Grant of an Additional Easement to the City and County of Denver Acting By
and Through Its Board of Water Commissioners, on second reading, and that it take effect 15 days
after final publicatIon."

WZ-06-02fWilson
I. REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a rezoning from Agriculture One to Planned Residential
Development (Exhibit 1, Letter of Request). An associated Outline Development Plan is
included with the request. The current Agriculture One zoning designation allows single family
residential with associated agricultural uses. The property contains an existing single family
residence, which ultimately would be removed. The applicant has received proper consent
from the property owners to pursue this application.
An Outline Development Plan will rezone the property and set development standards. The
applicant wishes to rezone the property to allow approximately 25 single family dwelling units.
The property is bounded by Quail Street to the west and Ridge Road to the south. The property
slopes from northwest to southeast and is 6.3 acres in size.
II. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Outline Development Plan (ODP) will set all allowed uses and development standards for
the property (Exhibit 2, ODP). The ODP also contains a conceptual layout of the property
which includes street alignment and general property divisions.
Allowed Uses
The subject property is currently zoned Agriculture One (A-I). The A-I zone district allows
single family residential and associated agricultural uses. Additionally, churches, day care
centers, bed and breakfasts, schools and golf courses are listed as special uses in the A-I
district. The applicant has proposed that only single family residential and home occupations as
defined in the Code shall be allowed uses for this property.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation for this property is Agriculture
Estate Residential (AER). The Comprehensive Plan states that AER areas are to consist of
neighborhoods with very low density housing and a predominately rural character The
Comprehensive Plan lists the desired attributes of the AER areas as:
. Well maintained dwellings
. Lots comprised primarily of open lands
. Domesticated farm or ranch animals permitted
. Accessory structures that assist in the production of value-added agricultural products
. Allowed private and unpaved roads
. Not to exceed I dwelling unit per acre
These attributes clearly indicate that more rural, agriculturally oriented, low density
development IS enviSIOned in the AER designated areas. The A-I zoning and AER designation,
while appropriate at one time, are historic legacies and are not consistent with current growth
and development pattern in the area. When the Future Land Use map was created, all
properties in the City which were zoned A-I were given the AER designation. This did not
give much consideration to long term plannmg. As a result, the ComprehensIVe Plan
enVisioned every property that was zoned A-I to remain an agricultural property. In reality,
these parcels are generally larger, mostly vacant propertIes which are attractive for
redevelopment.
Planning Commission
ViZ-06-02fVVilson

While not entirely consistent with the comprehensive plan future land use designation, the
proposed use and density would be consistent with conditions in surrounding areas. Large
properties to the east have recently been rezoned and developed as single-family residential
subdivisions. These new developments (Skyline Estates filing number 2 in Arvada and filing
number 3'in Wheat Ridge) contain subdivided lots of approximately 9,000 square feet in size.
A large retail development has recently been constructed at Ridge Road and Kipling Street,
approximately Y2 mile away from the subject property. As a result of the FasTracks project, a
new light rail line is being planned in this area. The initial studies indicate that the Gold Line
will be just south of Ridge Road, extending through Wheat fudge terminating around Ward
Road.
These new subdivisions and retail development, coupled with the introduction of light rail in
the near future, clearly indicate that a change in character is occurring in this area.
The Comprehensive Plan also indicates the following goals:
. Provide quality, aesthetically-pleasing housing choices that are convenient to needed
services and amenities.
. The City of Wheat Ridge shall strive to be a community that provides a variety of
residential units - both in terms of price and type of unit - allowing households with
different incomes and needs to live in Wheat Ridge.
. New development or redevelopment shall be so designed as to be a positive
contribution to the entire community and compatible with surrounding uses.
The proposed rezoning is consistent with all of these goals. The ODP contains strong
architectural controls which will-regwate the type of housing constructed, The housing will be
similar in nature to the surrounding single family residential to the east. The proposed
development will be in character with the surrounding area.
Density
The ODP is proposing a total of 25 residential lots. The property is 6.39 acres in size. This
would equate to 3.9 residential units per acre.
Landscaping
The ODP sets the minimum amount of landscaping for each proposed lot at 25%. All front,
side or rear yard adjacent to open space or right-of-way shall be 100% landscaped. The areas
listed as tracts on the ODP will be 100% landscaped and maintained by the homeowner's
association. All other landscaping will conform to Section 26-502 ofthe Wheat Ridge Code of
Laws. The amount of required landscaping for each lot is consistent with the landscaping
requirements for residential zone districts listed in the Chapter 26.
Minimum Lot Size/Width
The ODP specifies that the mmimum lot size shall be 6,250 square feet in size. The mmimum
lot wldth shall be 25 feet at the frontage (the front property line) and 40 feet at the front setback
line. Even though these minimum lot widths are comparatively low, the conceptual site plan
shows that each lot lS at least 60 feet wide at the street frontage.
Building Coverage . .
A maximum floor area ratio of .45 lS proposed on the ODP Floor area ratio lS the total amount
of square footage allowed related to the size of the lot. By example, a 7,400 square foot lot
C .. 3
Planning o=SSlOU
WZ-06-02/Wilsou
would permit a house with ~ maximum of 3,321 square feet. This can be the total footprint of a
one-story house or a footpnnt of 1,660.5 square feet for a two-story house. This maximum
floor area ratio does not include the square footage of any accessory structures.
Accessory structures are allowed to a maximum size of 600 square feet.
Parking
The ODP specifies that parking shall be in conformance with Section 26-501 of the Code of
Laws. The Code requires 2 parking spaces for residential structures where on-street parking is
allowed, and 4 parking spaces where there is no on-street parking.
Building Height/Setbacks
The maximum building height is being established at 35 feet for residential dwellings.
Accessory structures may be a maximum height of 15 feet. These are consistent with the
maximum allowed heights established in the Code for residential zone districts.
The minimum setbacks established on the ODP are as follows: 20 feet for the front yard,S feet
for the side yard and 20 feet for the rear yard. Each adjacent lot must stagger the front yard
setback by at least 2.5 feet to avoid a linear development pattern. This will create front yard
setbacks of20 feet, 22.5 feet and 25 feet. Any structure located in a side yard which is adjacent
to right-of-way will require a 10 foot setback.
Accessory structures (detached garages and sheds) must also meet minimum setbacks.
Accessory structures are not allowed in the front yard. Accessory structures must be at least 2
feet from any side or rear property line, provided that the structure is less than 8 feet tall at the
setback line. If the accessory structure is between 8 and 15 feet in height, a 5 foot setback is
required. If the accessory structure is adjacent to right-of-way in the side or rear yard, a ten-
foot setback is required.
The required setbacks have been established on the ODP to allow flexibility and greater
diversity. The Code specifies that residential zone districts shall have a minimum 30 foot front
yard setback, and side and rear yard setbacks are between 5 feet and 15 feet, depending on
zone district.
Architecture
The ODP includes architectural standards for the structures. The front elevation shall have at
least 50% stone or brick, with a four-foot return on each side. Any residential structure
adjacent to open space or structures on comer lots shall have a four-foot return on each side, a
minimum of two windows, trim enhancements, a variation in matenals and pnvacy fence.
Identical house models may not be located on adjacent lots or across the street. Garage
dominant models may not be located on adjacent lots. The Final Development Plan will
contain typical elevations of the house models.
Any accessory structure in excess of 120 square feet must be similar in nature to the primary
structure.
Fencing
The ODP refers to Section 26-603 of the Code of Laws for perimeter fence regulations.
Site Plan
Planning commission
WZ-06-02/Wilson

Page two of the ODP shows-a conceptual site layout. The lots are between 7,400 square feet
and 8,200 square feet in size. One lot is shown at approximately 10,500 square feet. These lot
sizes are approximates, and because this rezoning does not include a subdivision plat, the lot
sizes may change slightly. There are two tracts of land shown directly north of Ridge Road
which will be used for detention. These tracts will be maintained by the homeowner's
association.
The propert; will be served by two new public streets. One street will be located on the very
north end of the subject property cormecting to Quail Street. The second street win be parallel
to and east of Quail Street, intersecting with the east/west street. These streets are labeled
Street "A" and Street "B" respectively. These streets will be named at the Final Development
Plan stage.
Street "A" is shown as being 25 feet wide. Chapter 26 states that any street proposed on the
boundary of a development may be 25 feet wide, or half the 'normal' right-of-way width of 50
feet. lithe property to the north of the subject parcel were to redevelop, the other half of the
street would be constructed.
Street "B" is shown with a total right-of-way width of 46 feet. Even though the Code requires a
minimum right-of-way width of 50 feet for neighborhood streets, the ability exists to reduce
the right-of-way width to 40 feet with a variance request. The variance request will be included
with the final plat. The 46-foot width will accommodate two through lanes and parking on each
side of the street.
Street right-of-way will be examined further when a final subdivision plat is submitted and
reviewed.
III. CRITERIA
Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a change in zone:
1. That the existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the
City of Wheat Ridge is an error.
The existing zone classification on the official zoning map is not in error. The property
currently has Agriculture One zoning.
2. That a change in character in the area has occurred due to installation of public facilities,
other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration, or development transitions, and
that the evidence supports the finding of the following.
There has been a recent change in character of the area. While this area of the City has
historically been zoned and used either agnculturally or industrially, much of the surrounding
land has been redeveloped as single family residential properties. The property directly to the
east (Skyline Estates filing number 2 m Arvada) has been rezoned and developed as single
family residential WIthin the past five years. The property to the east of that (Skyline Estates
filing number 3 in Wheat Ridge) was rezoned and developed as smgle family residential in
2003. The property drrectly to the west of the subject parcel is located m Arvada and currently
zoned industrial, but the City of Arvada is in the process of amendmg therr Comprehensive
Plan to deSIgnate the property as medium density residential.
Planning Commission
WZ-06-02/Wilson

In addition, the RTD Gold Line is expected to locate just south of Ridge Road. The current
projection shows a light rail stop at Kipling Street and one at Ward Road. This property is
located in between each of these light rail stops, making it an attractive property for residential
development. The proposed rezoning will be in character with the surrounding neighborhood.
3. That 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.
The Future Land Use map in the Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Agriculture
Estate Residential. The proposed rezoning is for residential dwellings, which is consistent with
the AER designation; however the proposed density will be much more than one dwelling per
acre. While not consistent with this future land use designation, the rezoning will be
compatible with surrounding areas.
The change in zone will be in conformance with several goals of the Comprehensive Plan,
specifically providing quality aesthetically pleasing housing, providing a variety of housing
and development that is a contribution to and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
4. That the proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will
be minimal adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived.
The request is for a rezoning to PRD. To the east of the subject parcel is an abundance of
residential properties. The surrounding residential properties are located within the City of
Arvada and the City of Wheat Ridge. The development on these properties is extremely similar
in nature. TheODP contains architectural and development standards similar to these
surrounding developments. This similarity will create cohesion between the properties.
5. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or economie benefits to the
community derived by the change of zone.
This proposed zone change should create a benefit to the community. The proposed zone
change will allow 25 new single family homes. The change of zone will provide more quality
housing for existing and future residents. Two new streets will be constructed to serve this
development, and two existing streets will be widened and improved as a result of
development. Quail Street currently exists as a sixteen foot wide dirt road. The developer will
be responsible for widening and paving Quail Street for the extent of roadway adjacent to the
property. New sidewalks will be installed adjacent to the streets.
6. That adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the type of uses allowed by
the change of zone, or that the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not
exist or are under capacity.
All responding agencies are able to serve the property, and the developer will incur the cost
and maintenance of any improvements. Two new streets will be constructed With the
development oftlus property. New curb, gutter and sidewalks will also be constructed.
7. That the change of zone will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by
creating excessive traffic congestion, creating drainage problems, or seriously reducing
light and air to adjacent properties.
Planning Co=ission
WZ-06-02!Wilson
6
The change in zone will not affect public health, safety or welfare in the area. Traffic will
increase from existing conditions; however, the amount oftraffic generated by the single
family residences will not overburden the roadway system. The eventual developer will be
constructing two new streets to serve this development, and Ridge Road and Quail Street will
be improved as well. All site generated drainage will be accommodated with onsite detention
facilities. This change of zone will not reduce air or light to adjacent properties.
8. That the change of zone will not ereate an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to
adjacent or nearby areas.
This change of zone will not create an isolated zone district. The proposed rezoning and future
development will be extremely similar to the single family development which is directly to
the east in Arvada. Further east is another single family development. All of these
developments have similar architectural controls and will have similar housing styles, choices
and layouts.
IV. AGENCY REFERRAL
All responding agencies have indicated that they can serve the property, and the applicant will
bear the cost of upgrading any service to the property.
Because the request is for a rezoning, a fmal drainage report was not required. Drainage will be
examined in further detail at the Final Development Plan stage.
V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
The required neighborhood meeting was held on March 15,2006. There were five attendees at
the neighborhood meeting. General questions ranged from roadway improvements proposed to
the effect on wells in the area. There was a large amount of discussion regarding the proposed
density. Some of the attendees felt that there would be too many lots created and one- or two-
acre lots would be more appropriate. A meeting synopsis has been included as Exhibit 3.
VI. STAFF CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Staff concludes that the rezoning is compatible with surrounding uses, and that the eventual
development of the property should be an improvement over the existing conditions. The area
has been steadily evolving from large agricultural lots to smaller single-family lots. Multiple
rezonings have occurred in the area, which allowed the development of more single-family
residential homes. The construction of a large format retailer and the introduction of light rail
in the area will foster more growth and change m the area. The rezoning conforms to goals
listed in the ComprehenSive Plan. Adequate infrastructure WIll be constructed to accommodate
me development.
REZONING AND OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
OPTION A.
"I move to recommend APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-06-02, a request for approval of a
rezoning from Agriculture One to Planned Residential Development, and an Outlme
Development Plan for property located at 5220 Quail Street, for the fol1owmg reasons:
1. A change in character has recently occurred in the area. Adjacent properties
have been rezoned and developed with single-family residential homes. A large
retail center has been constructed within % mile of the subject property. A
Planning Commission 7
WZ-06-02/Wilson
proposed light rail line will be located just south of Ridge Road. These changes
create a favorable climate for additional residences.
2. The change in zone is compatible with the new development to the east and the
proposed Arvada Comprehensive Plan update directly to the west.
3. Adequate infrastructure will be constructed as a result of development. Two
existing roads will be widened and improved, and two. new streets will be
constructed. Sidewalks will be constructed adjacent to the new public streets to
serve the neighborhood. These additions and alterations will improve the
vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area.
4. The change in zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare,
nor will it create an isolated or spot zone district.
5. The change in zone will be in conformance with several goals of the
Comprehensive Plan, specifically providing quality aesthetically pleasing
housing, providing a variety of housing and development that is a contribution
to and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Cabela's and Coors are requesting an amendment to an eXisting Outline Development Plan. The
property is currently zoned Planned Commercial Development (PCD) and is located west ofI-70,
south of State Highway 58 and north of West 32nd Avenue. The subject parcel is approximately 178
acres in size. The amendment to the ODP will allow a greater range of allowed uses and will establish
development standards. The expanded list of allowed uses would allow a wide range of commercial
uses and a few light industrial uses. The eXisting ODP allows only water storage and deposition and
excavation. The site is currently vacant and contains a 28 acre water storage faCIlity
This request relates to City Council goals of the City being prepared for growth and opportunities and
the 1-70 corridor as a major commercial center.
Planning Commission heard the request on June 15, 2006, and recommended approval With
conditions.
COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDA nON:
Planning Commission heard the request on June 15, 2006, and recommended approval with
conditions. Staff and the applicant agree with all of the recommended conditions.
Planning Commission recommended approval of the Outline Development Plan for the following
reasons:
1. A change in character has occurred in the area. The property has histoncally been
used as a gravel mine while the area which surrounds the property has been
developed and redeveloped as commercial and mdustrial properties.
2. The request will bring the property into conformance with the goals and policies of
the Comprehensive Plan. The properties contain commercial and industrial
designations. The range of allowed uses is consistent with the future land use
designation defined in the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The construction of roadway improvements will adequately accommodate the
additional traffic volumes produced by the proposed uses. The improvements will
not only benefit the development onsite, but also the surrounding propertIes.
4 The proposed uses will be compatible with the surrounding area, specifically the
commercial properties directly to the south, the commercial shopping center to the
east ofI-70 and the industrial park north of Highway 58. Required buffers will
minimize the impacts to adjacent residential uses.
5. The request will be a benefit to the City, County, School Distnct and special
districts by providing additional tax revenue, added retail and service
establishments, additional employment and the Installation of pedestrian
connections to Clear Creek trails.
6. The request will not create an isolated or spot zone district.
7. The request Will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare.
with the following conditIOns.
1. The easements or right-of-way needed for the construction of Cabela Drive where it
crosses Jefferson County property and off-site to the State Highway 58 interchange and
to West 32nd Avenue shall be secured prior to the issuance of any building permit.
2. The traffic improvements labeled as 'Year 2008 improvements' In the traffic study
dated June 2006 shall all be constructed prior to the issuance of any certificate of
occupancy. These improvements shall additionally Include the pedestrian trails on the
west side of Cabela Drive and the west side of the frontage road.
3. A note shall be added to the Outline Development Plan which reads: "Freestanding
signs that do not exceed 15 feet in height must have a 10 foot setback from any
property line. Freestanding signs which are more than 15 feet in height must have a 30
foot setback from any property line."
4 The footnote under Development Standards which references increased side and rear
yard setbacks where adjacent to nght-of-way shall be removed.
5 The required front yard setback for parcel 5 shall be reduced to 15 feet.
6. The language which regulates signage shall be modified to include an allowance for
wall and freestanding signage for parcell O.
7. The use chart shall be modified as it relates to processing and assembly to read.
"processing, assembly or light industrial operations."
8. A preponderance of trees shall be added to the buffer area.
9. There shall be no buildings, signs or parking allowed within the buffer area.
I O. Free standing lights may be a maximum height of 25 feet.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Access
The site will be served by multiple access points; from 1-70, a new underpass at W. 40th Avenue
and a new street called Cabela Drive. Cabela Drive extends through the site in a north-northwest
direction, and will connect to a proposed State Highway 58 interchange to the north and West 32nd
Avenue to the south. Portions of Cabela Drive will be on privately owned property or County
owned property. The applicants must secure the right-of-way or easements necessary to construct
Cabela Drive. The discussions have begun for procurement ofthese easements; however, nothing
has been finalized to date. Staff recommends that the right-of-way or easements shall be secured
prior to issuance of any building penmt.
Timing of Improvements
As mentIoned above, there will be several major changes and additions to the roadway system in
the area. The traffic study identifies the improvements as: new slIp ramps from 1-70, a new
underpass at West 40th Avenue and a new street called Cabela Drive which connects West 32nd
Avenue and a new interchange at Highway 58. There are additional off-slte improvements
identified in the traffic study which are consistent with the preferred altematlve in the
Environmental Assessment. All of these improvements are labeled as 'year 2008' improvements
in the traffic study The 'year 2008' label was given because the full build-out of the entire
property was enviSIOned for 2008. Staff has suggested that a conditIOn of approval be added to
ensure all needed improvements are constructed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
An Outline Development Plan, Final Development Plan and Final Plat will be reviewed concurrent
with the second reading. The FDP will detaIl the site development ofthe 36-acre Cabela's parcel. The
Final Plat will subdiVide the property into smaller developable parcels.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
None
FINANCIAL IMP ACT:
The City has received a one-time application fee for the land use application. Building permit fees an~
use taxes will be cullected during construction. The City will collect sales tax revenues from any retaIl
sales.

I. REQUEST
The applIcants are requestmg approval of an amendment to an eXIstmg Outlme Development Plan to
allow a greater range of allowed uses; a Final Development Plan for a portlOn of the property and a
Final Plat for the entire property (Jl~liiBitj, Letters of Request) The applicants are imtIally requestmg
to develop approximately 36 acres of the site wIth a retail store. The property IS currently vacant, and
is located west ofI-70, south of Highway 58 and north of West 32nd Avenue. The property IS
approxImately 178 acres m size.
II. PROPERTY HISTORY
The subject properties were annexed mto the CIty of Wheat RIdge in February 2005 Pursuant to State
statute, zonmg must be established on annexed propertIes wlthm 90 days. As a result, an Outline
Development Plan was submItted and approved by City Council m May 2005 (E.gIll,B~t2, 2005
Coors/Cabela's ODP). ThiS ODP allowed a very lImited range of uses, mcludmg water storage,
excavatlOn and deposition of matenal to reclaim a gravel mme. At the same tIme, a Final Development
Plan was reviewed and approved by Clty Council only for the portlOn of property to be used as a water
storage facilIty in the southwest comer of the property Special use permIts have also been granted m
conjunctlOn with the excavation and fill deposItlOn operations.
III. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The applIcants are requestmg an amendment to the eXlstmg ODP whIch would allow a WIde range of
commercial uses (I3:~~1!!:~, 2006 Coors/Cabela's ODP) The ODP Will establish development
standards and allowed uses. The ODP shows general parcel locations and access pomts. The
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map deSignation for thiS property IS Community Commercial,
Planned Busmess/Industnal Park and Open Space.
Current Land Use
The majonty ofthe property is currently vacant, with a 28-acre water storage facilIty located m the
southwest comer An eXlstmg reSidential structure remams towards the south edge of the property on
parcel 3.
Allowed Uses
The ODP will establish allowed uses for each parcel ofland m the development area. A use matnx has
been mcluded whIch details, by parcel, the allowed uses. The chart shows "allowed" in a column
where a use is allowed for a particular parcel. If the word "allowed" IS not present, the use is not
allowed. The lot numbers at the top of the matrix correspond With the parcel numbers shown on the
site plan (page 2 under Allowed Uses). Each parcel has dIfferent characteristics and dynamiCS, and
therefore different allowed uses. For example, the parcels directly to the north of the eXlstmg
reSIdential will contam less mtenslVe uses and greater buffenng to lessen the Impact. Conversely,
those parcels which Will be adjacent to Highway 58 may support more mtenslve Industnal uses.
The allowed uses have been modeled after the eXlstmg C-I and Industnal zone dIstncts, With some
undesHable uses omltted. Auto-onented uses, special uses and very IntenSIve Industnal uses such as
storage yards have been removed from the use matnx, and thereby are not allowed. Many uses are
Planning Commission
Case WZ-06-03 & WS-06-01lCoors & Cabe!a's
2
bemg strictly prohibIted, uses such as adult busmesses, auto service and sales, bed and breakfast
homes, storage yards, constructlOn or heavy eqUlpment sales and mini warehouses.
Water storage IS an allowed use on parcel 6 and parcel 8 Parcel 6 IS the current location for the newly-
constructed water storage facility. Parcels 1-5 are envlslOned as commercial retail parcels. Parcel 3
contams an eXlstmg vacant residentIal structure. As a result, residentIal has been mc1uded as an
allowed use only on parcel 3. A note has been added under Allowed Uses which allows the residential
to remam, until such tIme that a Pinal Development Plan has been approved. Parcels 7-10 also allow
retail, but also mclude more mdustnal uses. It should be noted that parcel 8 IS encumbered by the 100-
year flood plain and contams steep grade changes, making development extremely difficult. However,
a lIst of allowed uses has been Identified for parcel 8 should a developer wish to Improve the property.
Staff recommends that the use listed as "Processing, assembly or light" be completed to read
"Processing, assembly or light industrial operations"
Comprehensive Plan
Because one component of the request IS for a rezoning, the Comprehensive Plan must be exammed.
The Comprehensive Plan defines goals, polIcies, future land use and desIred attributes of development
or redevelopment. The Future Land Use deslgnatlOn for these properties IS Commumty Commercial
(CC) for the area south of Clear Creek, Planned Busmess/lndustnal Park (BP) for the area north of
Clear Creek and a portion of Open Space Just north of Clear Creek. The proposed uses lIsted on the
ODP are consIstent With these respectIve designations.
Commumty CommerCial (CC)
The ComprehenSive Plan Commumty Commercial Center designatlOn IS defined as.
" uses adjacent to 1-70 which are intended for non-residential uses whose market area extends
beyond the City of Wheat Ridge. Businesses in these areas serve the traveling public and are
dependant on highway access and/or visibility These developments contain a mixture of
complementary uses such as retail and office and provide pedestrian connections within the site and to
adjacent properties. These activities generate a substantial amount of revenue for the City and it is
important that the viability and attractiveness of these sites be maintained. "
Some desired attributes of the CC deslgnatlOn are.
. Adequate access from regional roadways
. Uses that provIde services for the travelmg public
. Controlled access onto artenal and collector streets through mlmmal curb cuts
. A mixture of complementary uses such as retail and office
. Compact development that is well landscaped, no outdoor storage, screened trash areas
. Pedestnan connectlOns wlthm the site and from the site to adjacent uses
. Uses that generate sales tax revenues m support of public services and facIlIties
The property has VisibilIty from and access to a state rughway and an mterstate. The list of allowed
uses will provide services to the travelmg publIc. All access pomts to Cabela Dnve will be controlled
access pomts, consolIdated and alIgned so as to minimIZe traffic conflIcts. The ODP IS establIshmg
mmlmum landscape coverage of 20 percent. All trash areas will be screened. Several pedestnan trail
connectIOns are bemg IdentIfied on the ODP that will not only serve the subject parcels, but also the
surroundmg areas. Any retall use located on the property will generate sales tax revenue for the CIty
Planning Commission
Case WZ-06-03 & WS-06-01/Coors & Cabela's
3
Additionally, some of the desIred uses m the CC designated areas are:
. Lodgmg and meetmg facilities
. Gas statIOns
. Restaurants
. DestmatlOn retail ( e.g. establIshments selling durable goods, clothing, grocenes and specialty
Items)
. TranSIt facilities and amemtles
. Entertainment complexes
All of these uses, except gas stations, are allowed uses on the ODP.
Planned BusmessfIndustnal Park (BP)
Planned BusmessfIndustnal Park IS defined as:
" These areas have access to 1-70 and are generally located north and west of the interstate. These
parks are designed as an integrated planned development under unified control and development
standards These parks are designed with a campus-like setting and contain clean, light industrial
uses. Amenities such as outdoor sitting and eating areas and pathways should be encouraged on-site
for employees. "
Some desired attributes of the BP designation are:
. Well buffered to minImIZe negative impacts to adjacent neighborhoods and residentIal uses
. Pedestnan connectlOns wlthm the site and from SIte to adjacent uses
. ConnectIOns to local reglOnal bicycle path systems
. Businesses that require shippmg or delIvenes by semi-trucks
The parcels whIch mclude light mdustnal uses (which are the same parcels designated BP on the
Future Land Use map) are located north of Clear Creek, just south of Highway 58. These two features
will act as a buffer from adjacent properties. There are no residential properties in the Immediate
vlclmty ofthese parcels. Several pedestnan trail connectlOns are being Identified on the ODP that will
not only serve the subject parcels, but also the surrounding areas. The list of allowed uses identifies
lIght mdustnal operatlOns whIch may utilIze shipping from semi-trucks.
The ComprehenSive Plan also contains goals and poliCies for commercIal development or
redevelopment. The follOWing are goals which relate to the proposed rezonmg and subsequent site
development:
Goal - ProVide convemently located and attractlVe commercIal, office and servIce uses that meet the
needs of the City and are compatible yet well buffered from surroundmg areas.
Goal - All new commercial development or redeveloped commercial areas shall be deSigned to
minimIze effects on nearby reSIdential uses.
Goal - Any new or redeveloped commercial SIte, whether public or pnvate, shall respect or
incorporate as appropnate any adjacent CIVIC mvestment be It a park, recreatIOnal facility or CIVIC
amemty.
Planning Commission
Case WZ-06-03 & WS-06-01/Coors & Cabela's
4
PolIcy - The City shall reqUire that any future commercIal development Include contInUOUS
Internal dnves and contInUOUS pedestnan paths connectmg to adjacent businesses and streets
WIthout directing traffic through adjacent resIdential neIghborhoods.
Policy - New commercIal development or redevelopment projects shall demonstrate measures
taken to reduce likely neIghborhood Impacts. Such measures shall be considered In the review
of any new applIcation to the CIty. The Plannmg Department and Plannmg Commission shall
pay particular attentIOn to: traffic generatIon, ingress and egress, dIstributIOn of new tnps,
landscape buffenng between uses, Impact on VIew comdors, solar access and nOIse Impacts.
Policy - At least 15% of the gross site area of any new commerCial development or
redevelopment project shall be landscaped With live plant matenal. Additional buffenng, In the
form of landscapIng, may be reqUIred for sites adjacent to reSIdentIal, agricultural or
environmentally senSitive areas.
PolIcy - All new commercIal development or redevelopment project shall be reqUIred to
mcrease pedestnan actIvity and provide open, natural areas, suffiCient landscaping and seating
and shelter for pedestrians.
The standards and uses established on the ODP (and subsequent development of the parcels) will meet
the mtent of these goals. The properties will be appropriately deSIgned to proVide attractIve busmesses
which are adequately buffered from surroundmg reSIdential propertIes. The Wider range of commercial
uses will serve the needs of the City and surroundmg commUnItIes. Several pedestnan trail
connectIOns are bemg established on the OutlIne Development Plan which would proVide a benefit to
the community.
Landscaping
The ODP IS proposmg minImum landscape coverage of 20% per lot. ThiS mmImum amount of
landscapIng IS Identical to the requirement for any commerCIally zoned property The ODP also
speCIfies that one tree IS reqUired for each 50 feet of road frontage. ThiS street tree standard bemg
established on the ODP IS less than the one tree per 30 feet of frontage which IS reqUIred by the Code
of Laws. The ODP reqUIres one tree and 5 shrubs for each 1,000 square feet oflandscaped area. ThIS
standard IS also less than the Code reqUIrement of one tree and 10 shrubs for each 1,000 square feet of
reqUIred landscaped area. Although these standards are lower than the Code reqUIrements for
commerCIally zoned propertIes, the ODP process allows the flexibility in creatmg development
standards which are UnIque to a speCIfic property The ODP references SectIOn 26-502 (landscapmg)
for all other landscapmg reqUIrements.
Detailed landscape plans are reqUIred for each Final Development Plan. These detailed plans will
show the 10catlOn and type of landscapmg to be mstalled for each parcel.
Lot Coverage
The ODP sets maximum lot coverage for each parcel. MaXimums vary by lot, but they are generally
around 10%. The one exceptIOn IS parcelS, which IS set at 25%. It IS Important to note that the ODP IS
establIshmg a floor area ratlO, or percentage of parcel whIch can be covered by a structure. For
example, parcell IS 1,586,455 square feet m sIze. The ODP allows a maXImum F.A.R. of 0 12 (12%).
ThIS would allow a buildmg no larger than 190,374 6 square feet m Size, or half of that m 2 stones.
Planning Commission
Case WZ-06-03 & WS-06-01/Coors & Cabela's
5
The Code of Laws treats lot coverage as any area covered by structures and pavement. Based on a
twenty percent minimum landscaped area reqUirement, the lot coverage (buildmgs plus paved areas)
cannot exceed 80% of any parcel. This lot coverage standard is identical to the requirement for any
commercially zoned property.
Parking
Mimmum parlang reqUirements are bemg established on the ODP. Parcels 1-5 and 7-10 must provide
one parkmg space for each 200 square feet of bUlldmg square footage, less 10 percent. This is IdentlCal
to the City's standard for retail uses. The Code of Laws allows a ten percent reductIOn m buildmg
square footage for the purpose of calculating reqUired parkmg. ThiS ten percent reductIOn IS to account
for stairways, hallways, mechanIcal rooms, restrooms and kitchens - areas which should not be
mcluded in parking calculations. Parcel 6 reqUires two parking stalls for mamtenance velucles. ThiS
parcel will not mclude commercIal actIvity; therefore commercial parking standards do not need to be
established.
Building SetbackslHeight
The ODP establishes mlmmum front yard, side yard and rear yard building setbacks for each parcel.
The required setbacks differ by parcel. All parcels are required to have a mlmmum 10 foot Side yard
setback and a mmimum 15 foot rear yard setback, With the exception of parcel 4 ThiS parcells located
dIrectly adjacent to existmg residentIal, and therefore has a larger reqUired Side yard setback. Parcel 4
IS reqUired to have a mmlmum 20 foot Side yard setback. Parcels 1, 5, 7, 9 and 10 are reqUired to have
a 30 foot mmimum front yard setback while parcels 2,3 and 4 are reqUired to have a 15 foot mimmum
front yard setback. Staff feels that the front yard setback for parcelS should be reduced to 15 feet to
allow for the abilIty to deSign m a neo-tradltlOnal manner It should be noted that m commercial zone
dlstncts a mmlmum 50 foot front yard setback for commercial properties IS reqUired, With an
allowance to reduce the front yard setback to 30 feet where the front yard is entIrely landscaped.
A footnote has been mcluded under the Development Standards chart which references a 30-foot
reqUired SIde or rear yard setback when adjacent to public nght-of-way. Staff feels thiS note should be
removed, as some of the front yard setbacks are less than 30 feet, and the more stnngent Side and rear
yard setback would be unnecessary
The maximum buildmg height, as required by the Charter, IS being established at 50 feet for parcels 1-
3 and 7-10 Parcels 4 and 5 are located approximately 30 feet lower than the eXlstmg residentIal, so
reduced buildmg heights for these lots WIll lessen the Impact to the residential properties. Parcels 4 and
5 are located approximately 30 feet lower than the existmg residential parcels to the south. The
maXImum buildmg height for parcel 4 IS bemg established from a fixed elevatIOn pomt on the south
property line. The ODP states that the top of a buildmg on parcel 4 shall not exceed elevatIon pomt
5,530 feet, establIshed from CIty datum. ThIS will give the abilIty to construct a 50-foot tall buildmg
Without a large amount of fill, thereby mcreasmg the impact to the residentIal properties. Simply, a 50-
foot tall buildmg on this parcel tIed to a maximum elevatIOn of 5,530 feet to the top of the structure
will effectively result in a 20-foot tall buildmg as Viewed from the residentIal properties to the south.
The building height cannot exceed elevation 5,530, so any fill brought in reduces the height of the
building.
Any bmldmg constructed on parcelS IS limited to 35 feet m height. Buildmgs on parcel 6 are allowed
a maximum buildmg height of 15 feet, which IS consistent With the eXlstmg pump house assOCiated

Architecture
The ODP contains detailed language regarding requIred archltectural enhancements for all parcels.
The architectural standards are similar to language III the Streets cape and Architectural Design
Manual, whlch is adopted as regulation. The ODP contallls strong language which will reqUlre four-
sided architecture on all buildings.
Any proposed buildmg must be shown on the Final Development Plan, and must further comply wlth
these guidelines.
Site Access/Circulation
The parcels will gain access from three different locations. The malll entrance to the site will be from a
new Illterchange at Highway 58 A new publIc street (Cabela Dnve) will connect to Youngfield
Service Road III a north/south alIgrunent. This new street wlll be a four-lane publIc roadway,
transltlOmng Illto a three-lane publIc roadway near the northern end of parcel 7. The road will contmue
north and west, eventually connecting to a new mterchange at Highway 58.
The second access pomt will be a new 40th Avenue underpass between parcels 1 and 2. This underpass
will connect to Cabela Dnve. A new realigned servlce road will be established Just north of the 40th
Avenue underpass which serves the Table Mountam Animal Center
The third pomt of access will be from new hook ramps from 1-70. Westbound traffic wIll be able to
access Cabela Dnve dIrectly; conversely site patrons will be able to contmue westbound onto 1-70
after vIsItIng the site.
A pedestnan crossmg IS bemg shown on Cabela Dnve between parcels I and 5, as thiS will be the
mam access pomt for each property.
Cabela Dnve will be a publicly-dedicated roadway which connects West 32nd Avenue to Highway 58
PortlOns of the road will fall outside City limlts m unincorporated Jefferson County A small tnangular
area of the roadway Just east of parcel 8 wlll be located within County-owned property. Another
section west of parcel 9 will be located on pnvately owned property m Jefferson County The
connectIon to West 32nd Avenue crosses private property m Wheat fudge. The applIcants have not yet
secured the easements or nght-of-way to allow the constructlOn ofthese roadway sectlOns. AcqmsitIon
of these easements IS paramount to provldmg adequate access and circulatlOn to and from the site.
Without these connectIons, easements or nght-of-way, the property will not have adequate access to
serve a development of this size.
Each parcel will have at least one access pomt from Cabela Dnve. The access pomts are shown on the
site plan With black arrows.
Trails
A number of pedestrian trail connectlOns have been identIfied on the ODP. The first will be on the
west Side of Cabela Drive, and will be ten feet III Width. The second trail will connect through parcels
4, 5 and 7, eventually connectmg to the existing Clear Creek trail on parcel 8. The specific aligrunent
has not been identIfied for thIS trail to ensure flexibility With future development. A thIrd pedestnan
trail will connect Cabe1a Dnve to Youngfield via the 40th Avenue underpass. Finally, a trail will
connect 40th Avenue to the Clear Creek traIl along the realigned frontage road.

With the exception of the trail through parcels 4,5 and 7, all trails will be built at the time the adjacent
roads are constructed.
The addItional trail WIll be constructed at the hme of development of parcels 4, 5 and 7
Sign age
The ODP establishes the signage regulatIOns for each parcel. All parcels are allowed one freestandmg
sign, not to exceed 15 feet in height, not larger than 150 square feet to be placed Within a landscaped
area. For parcels 2-9, wall signage is allowed on elevatIOns adjacent to nght-of-way or major mtenor
dnves, not to exceed one square foot of slgnage for each one linear foot of wall to which the Sign IS
attached. Parcel 1 IS allowed wall signage on each elevatIOn, not to exceed 1,050 square feet in size.
Parcel 1 IS allowed an additional project IdentIficatIOn SIgn which can be a maximum of 30 feet m
height and 200 square feet m size. ThIS would allow all busmesses to have VisibilIty from 1-70.
Staff suggests that setbacks be establIshed for all freestanding signs. The SIgn Code typically requires
a mmlmum 10 foot setback for signs up to 15 feet in height and a 30 foot setback for SignS over 15 feet
in height. Additionally, the regulations do not address Sign age on parcel 10. Staff suggests that the
Sign age allowed on parcell 0 should be conSistent With parcels 2-9.
Lighting
A note has been added to the ODP WhiCh regulates extenor lights, and more Importantly, controls the
effects of light spillage. The ODP allows a maXimum freestandmg light pole height of 30 feet. The
Code of Laws currently allows a maximum pole height of 18 feet; however, as mentIOned preVIOusly,
thIS ODP process allows flexibIlity and vanance from a standard m the Code. Extenor IIghtmg,
exclUSive of secunty lIghtmg, must be turned off one hour after the close of busmess. Several notes
have been added to the ODP under Development Standards which reqUires fully shielded, cut-off
fixtures, and reqUires that all light be contamed on the subject property. All freestandmg lights are
reqUIred to be at least 25 feet from any residential property line.
FencinglBuffering
All fences must be m compliance With SectIon 26-603 of the Code of Laws. ThiS SectIOn allows a
maximum fence height of six feet m rear and Side yards, and a maximum fence height of 48 mches m
front yards. AddItIonal constramts are IdentIfied for areas located wlthm a sight distance tnangle. All
fences will be shown on the Final Development Plans for each parcel.
A twenty foot buffer IS proposed for the portIOns of parcels 4 and 5 whICh are adjacent to reSidentIal
properties. ThiS buffer will contain trees and shrubs consistent with Code reqUirements. The landscape
buffer will be further detailed on the Final Development Plan for parcels 4 and 5.
Traffic
The development of the subject propertIes Will undoubtedly increase traffic m the surrounding area.
ThIS proposed development has tnggered an Environmental Assessment, which examines the
environmental Impact of the preferred alternatIve road Improvements. The EnVironmental Assessment
IS not the subject of thIS heanng. Planmng COlrumsslOn should focus on the adequacy of the access
and circulatIOn plan for the proposed development.
The traffic study has mdlcated that the site development will result m a total (tnps to and from the site)
of 23,785 tnps per weekday and a total of 34,341 tnps per Saturday As a result of thIS mcrease m

traffic, several Improvements are needed to the existing roadway system. Improvements on the subject
properties include a new public street whIch bisects the propertIes, a new West 40th Avenue underpass
and new hook ramps from 1-70 Additional off-site reqmred improvements have been Identified m the
three alternate packages m the EnVIronmental Assessment. The applicants have Identified 'preferred
alternatIve number 2' m the traffic study Tills preferred alternative includes Improvements such as
widening of the West 32nd Avenue and Youngfield Street intersectIOn, widening of the eastbound 1-70
offramp at approxImately West 29th Avenue, widemng of Young field Street from West 38th Avenue to
West 44th Avenue, widening of the West 44th Avenue and Youngfield Street and a widenmg of
Youngfield Street at West 32nd Avenue. These Improvements are consistent with the Roadway
ClassificatIOn Plan of the Comprehensive Plan Addendum.
An exhibIt has been mcluded willch details the extent of 'preferred alternative number 2' Tills has
been mcluded as g~~lt,~. Staff recommends that all Improvements Identified as '2008
improvements' be constructed pnor to the opening of any busmess on the property. The improvements
are labeled as "2008" Improvements because they will accommodate build-out traffic from the
properties, which is anticIpated m 2008.
IV. REZONING CRITERIA
The request IS for an amended OutIme Development Plan, mcludmg a change to allowed uses. Even
though the property IS currently zoned Planned Commercial Development, the reZOning criteria must
be exammed. Staff has the followmg comments regardmg the critena used to evaluate a change m
zone:
1. That the existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the
City of Wheat Ridge is an error.
The eXIstmg zone classificatron on the offiCial zonmg map IS not m error. The property
currently has Planned Commercial Development ZOning.
2.
That a change in character in the area has occurred due to installation of public facilities,
other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration, or development transitions, and
that the evidence supports the finding of the following.
The properties have hlstoncally eXlstmg as a gravel and mmmg site. At the conclUSIOn of the
mmmg actiVIties, the properties remamed vacant. In 2005, the propertIes were annexed mto the
City of Wheat Ridge, and given a zoning desIgnatron of Planned Commercial Development,
WIth a lImIted range of uses. The propertIes eXIst where an interstate highway and a state
highway converge. As a result, the surroundmg area has steadily grown and changed to prov1de
more commerCial services. The planned completion of the 1-70 and State Highway 58
mterchange has resulted m land acqUIsitIOns and reVIsed development plans in the general
vlcmity The property east ofI-70 (Applewood Shopping Center) contams large regional retail
stores. The property to the north of Highway 58 (44th Avenue Industrial Park) was annexed
mto the City in 1999 and zoned to Planned Industnal Development. After the annexatIOn and
zoning, 29 mdustrial bUlldmgs were constructed and contmue to operate today m an
office/warehouse environment.
3. That 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 felated policies or plans fOf the area.
Planning Commission
Case WZ-06-03 & WS.06-0l/Coors & Cabe!a's

The Future Land Use map in the ComprehensIve Plan designates these properties as
Community Commercial, Planned Busmess/Industnal Park and Open Space. Parcels 1-7 (south
of the creek) are designated Commumty Commercial. Parcel 8 is designated Open Space, while
parcels 9 and 10 are designated Planned BusmesslIndustnal Park. The proposed zone
designatIOn of Planned CommercIal Development is consistent with these classifications.
The Future land Use Map IS one component ofthe Comprehensive Plan. The Plan also
contams goals and policies concernmg land use and transportatIOn that need to be considered m
findmg consistency With the Comprehensive Plan. As discussed m the "Comprehensive Plan"
section of this staff report, the change of zone will be m compliance with the goals, objectives
and polICies ofthe Comprehensive Plan.
4. That the proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will
be minimal adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived.
The property IS currently zoned Planned Commercial Development, albeit with a limIted range
of allowed uses. The zonmg deSignation will remain, however, a Wider range of commercial
and industnal uses IS proposed. Parcels 1-5 and 7 are enviSIOned to be more retail and service
oriented, which IS consistent WIth properties directly to the south and east. The property
directly to the south IS zoned Planned Commercial Development and contains a hotel,
restaurants and a gas statIOn. To the east across 1-70 IS a large shoppmg center which provIdes
an array of retail, restaurant and service uses. The allowed uses for thiS proposed amendment
will be compatible With the allowed uses m these two areas.
Parcels 9 and 10 are deSignated Planned BusmesslIndustnal Park. These parcels will allow the
same retail and service uses proposed for parcels 1-5 and 7, With an allowance for some light
mdustnal uses. The properties directly to the north (across Highway 58) are all zoned Planned
Industnal Development. These properties operate as an industnal park currently
Where the parcels abut eXlstmg residential (parcels 4 and 5), a 20-foot landscape buffer IS
being proposed, complete WIth trees and shrubs dispersed at a rate consistent With the Code.
ThiS buffer will mmimize adverse Impacts to the reSIdential area.
5. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the
community derived by the change of zone.
ThiS request should create a benefit to the commumty. The property currently SitS as a vacant
parcel, and has historically been used for mmmg. The applicants are proposmg to allow a Wider
range of uses on the property, which m turn Will prOVide additIOnal services to the surroundmg
residents and create Jobs. Any retaIl sales on the property Will generate sales tax revenue for
the CIty, Jefferson County Open Space, the School Distnct, Jefferson County and special
dlstncts servmg the area will receive mcreased property tax revenues, m some cases Without
providmg addItional services.
AdditIOnally, a number oftraffic Improvements have been Identified as a result of the
EnVironmental Assessment. Many of these Improvements are needed to support the level of
traffic actIVIty generated by the mtended uses; however some of the Improvements will correct
Planning Commission
Case WZ-06-03 & WS-06-01lCoors & Cabela's
10
existmg problems which would need attentIOn regardless of site development. These
Improvements will benefit the surroundmg area.
The parcels will also mclude much needed pedestnan trail connectIOns. This WIll allow
pedestnans from West 32nd Avenue to navigate to Clear Creek; an optIOn which does not eXist
today. These pedestnan connectIOns will be a benefit to the community.
The proposed retail store on parcell mcludes several public facilities that will be available for
use by the general public. These facilitIes will be a benefit to the commumty.
6. That adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the type of uses allowed by
the change of zone, or that the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not
exist or are under capacity.
All respondmg agencies are able to serve the property, and the developer will Incur the cost
and mamtenance of any Improvements. A metro dlstnct has been formed which will fund and
construct all onslte public improvements and utility mfrastructure Onslte roadway
improvements will be built by the metro distnct. Off site improvements will be funded by the
metro dIStrict, City, CDOT and Jefferson County
7. That the change of zone will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by
creating excessive traffic congestion, creating drainage problems, or seriously reducing
light and air to adjacent properties.
The request will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare m the area. The
development of a hlstonc mining site will Improve conditIOns m the area and alleViate a once-
potentIal hazard to persons in the area. While thiS rezoning will create higher traffic volumes
to the Site, the applicants are engagmg m several roadway Improvements to the area, which
should alleViate traffic congestIOn. Site development will be subject to review ofthe Public
Works Department, whIch will review the drainage to ensure that there Will be no adverse
Impact to adjacent properties. The parcels and subsequent buildmgs Will be constructed m such
a way as to not reduce air or light to adjacent properties.
8. That the change of zone will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to
adjacent or nearby areas.
ThiS request will not create an isolated zone distnct. The properties to the east (east ofI-70)
are zoned Planned CommercIal Development, and have Similar allowed uses. These propertIes
are part of a larger shopping center which proVides a Similar list of allowed uses. The
properties to the south are also zoned Planned CommercIal Development, and have a Similar
range of allowed uses. The properties to the north of Highway 58 are zoned Planned Industrial
Development, and are part of an mdustnal busmess park. The allowed uses for this Industnal
business park are Similar to the list of allowed uses proposed on thiS ODP

Building
The apphcant IS proposmg to construct a buildmg which is 185,000 square feet m size. The
bmldmg would be used as a retail sportmg goods faclhty. A sporting goods store IS an allowed
use on thiS parcel (parcell). The ODP allows a maxImum floor area ratio of 12 for parcell
Based on a lot size of 1,586,455 square feet, a building which lS 190,374 square feet may be
constructed. The building will be located m the northeast comer of the parcel, so as to
capitalize on the visibilIty prOVided by 1-70 The bUlldmg Will be setback from the front
property line (southwest property line) approximately 500 feet. In between the buildmg and the
Cabela Drive right-of-way is a parkmg area with landscaped islands.
The ODP reqUired a mmlmum front yard setback ofJO feet. AdditIOnally, a lO-foot mimmum
SIde yard setback and IS-foot mmlmum rear yard setback was establIshed. The building meets
all of these requued setbacks. The ODP allowed a maximum building height of 50 feet. The
bmlding wlll not exceed the 50-foot buildmg heIght maxImum.
Loading bays and a boat loading/storage area will be located on the northeast elevatIOn
(adjacent to 1-70). A screen wall will be constructed which partially obscures the boat storage
and loadmg area.
A small corral and dog run IS bemg shown along the northern property lme. ThiS use was
speCifically lIsted as an allowed ancillary use on the ODP
Two detention ponds are shown on the FDP - one m the northwest comer of the property and
one smaller pond behmd the buildmg. The ponds have been adequately slZed to accommodate
the dramage flows created by site development.
Architecture
The buildmg will be constructed of archItectural pre-cast concrete wlth stone and tImber
accents. The roof Will be metal. The pre-cast walls will contam reveals which will provlde
Visual mterest. Canopies and overhangs are used to accentuate the entrance on the southeast
elevation. The proposed buildmg meets the architectural standards as establIshed on the ODP
The archltectural elevations detail the overall height of the buildmg to be 76 feet to the hlghest
pomt. The ODP estabhshes a maxImum buildmg height of 50 feet. Pursuant to the Code of
Laws and Charter, non-habitable areas and archltectural features are exempt from thiS 50-foot
height limitation. Further, the Code defines buildmg height as bemg measured to the mld-pomt
of the roof. The elevatIons detail the illld-pomt of the roofto be 50 feet tall. Those portions of
the buildmg whlch extend above 50 feet m helght are consldered architectural features and are
not used for human occupancy.
BuiIdmg slgnage is shown on the southwest, northeast and northwest elevatIOns. These SignS
are allowed, as the ODP created an allowance for wall slgnage on all buildmg elevatIOns. It
should be noted that the wall sign on the northeast elevatlOn extends above the deck lme of the
roof. The Code does not allow wall SignS to extend above the roof. Thls lssue will be addressed
With the submittal and review of the buildmg perrmt.

Landscaping
The ODP requires a mmlmum of 20 percent of the parcel to be landscaped. ThIs lot reqUIres
317,117 square feet of landscaped area. The FDP IS providmg 536,170 square feet of
landscaped area, or 34% of the site. AdditIOnally, one street tree IS required for every 50 feet of
street frontage. There are 3 street frontages for this propertY' Cabela Drive, West 40th Avenue
and the Frontage Road. These 3 street frontage total 3,325 linear feet, which translates to 67
required street trees. The applIcant has provided 67 street trees.
One tree and 5 shrubs are reqUIred for every 1,000 square feet of reqUlred landscape area. 317
addItIonal trees and 1,585 shrubs are required. The applIcant has proVided 318 trees and 2,432
shrubs, m addition to 2,019 ornamental grasses. The edges of the parkmg lot contam large
landscape buffers WIth landscape Islands. Trees have been located wlthm the parkmg lot to
break up the expansIVe area. Landscaped cap islands have been installed on either end of the
parkmg lot drive aisles.
Parking
The ODP reqUIres 1 parkmg stall for every 200 square feet ofbuildmg area, mmus a ten
percent reductIon m building square footage to account for hallways, storage areas and
mecharucal rooms. The bUIlding is 185,000 square feet m size; therefore 833 parking spaces
are reqUIred. The FDP details a total of 1,354 parkmg spaces prOVided. The parkIng stalls all
meet the mmlmum size reqUIrements and handicap accessible stalls have been provided
consIstent WIth ADA and City Code requirements.
There IS an area to the north ofthe buildmg whIch IS labeled as "RV parkmg". The parkmg
stalls m thiS area are large enough to accommodate oversize recreatIonal vehicles. There are
landscaped Islands which further delmeate these parkmg stalls.
The sheer volume ofthe parking spaces and expanse of the parkmg area IS of concern. The site
contams 521 more parkmg spaces than the ODP reqUIres. ThiS is an increase of 62%. All this
additIOnal parkmg may be attractive to retailers, however It translates mto longer walkmg
distances for patrons, more run-off and detracts from the archItectural interest of the storefront.
The parking stalls located on the west Side ofthe parkmg lot (adjacent to Cabe1a Drive) are
between 600 and 800 feet from the front door ofthe store. Staff has requested that the applIcant
mstall two pedestnan walkways whIch parallel the dnve aIsles. These pedestnan walk-ways
could run the length of the parkmg lot, be 5 feet Wide and be located between rows of parkmg.
These areas would provide the patrons a refuge from vehicles and could help reduce pedestrian
and vehicle conflict. Otherwise, patrons walk down dnve aisles to get to the store. The
applIcant IS not amenable to these walkways.
Lighting
A photometnc plan has been mcluded in the FDP whICh details the type and location of
freestandmg lIght fixtures, as well as the foot-candle readmgs at speCIfied mtervals. The
applIcant IS proposmg to install dual 400 watt metal halIde fixtures atop a 25 foot pole for most
ofthe parkmg lot IIghtmg. The ODP allows a 30 foot tall freestanding light fixture. Staff was
mltIally concerned over the amount of luminescence generated by these dual 400 watt fixtures.
However, staff has spoken WIth the manufacturer of these lIghts and confirmed that directly
under the pole of a dual 400 watt fixture, a total of 10 foot-candles wIll be generated.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Police Department is requesting a budget amendment in the amount of $23,00000 to the
Community Services Unit budget to provide funding for abatement of code violations at the property
located at 4590 Kipling Street.
Commumty Services Officers have been working with the property owner, Kelly Capital, smce
October 2005 III an attempt to have the property cleaned. The poor conditIOn of the property poses
both a safety issue as well as a fire Issue. In addition, transient camps have been located on the
property. Community Services has received an estimate from Grounds Service Company, Inc. for
clean-up of the property. The total abatement estimate IS $20,675 00. The Police Department IS
requestmg $23,000.00 for abatement of the property which includes a contmgency for additional work
that may be required on the property. After approval by City Council, the abatement/clean-up process
will start withm one week.
This request is III furtherance of Council's strategic goal of Better Quahty Housing Stock, specifically
Code Enforcement and Compliance Enhancements.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDA nON:
No other Board or Commission reviews budget amendments.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Most violations that reach the stage of abatement involve 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 gamed by the City undertakmg the abatement action. This involves hinng
contractors to perform the abatement work.
Costs of City-initiated abatement can be recovered by filing a tax lien on the property A tax hen is
paid when property taxes are paid, so the City is reimbursed in the next tax year
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not allocate any funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds to cover costs of abatement of this magnitude were not budgeted m the 2006 Budget. There are
adequate funds m the General Fund undesignated reserves to fund this request. The $23,000 00
supplemental budget appropriation will be placed in account 01-203-700-704 Contractual Services.
Should the property be cleaned up by the property owner prior to the start of abatement, funds will be
returned to the General Fund, unless they are necessary for another large abatement project prior to the
end of2006
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution 33-2006 - A ResolutIOn Amending the 2006 Fiscal Year General Fund
Budget to Reflect the Approval of a Supplemental Budget Appropriation in the Amount of$23,000 for
the Purpose of Abatement of Code Violations at 4590 Kipling Street."

Amendment to Smoking Ordinance
I move to amend subsection (6), Section 9-22, Article II, by deleting the
last sentence in its entirety and replacing the same with the following
sentence:
"The specified radius shall be five (5) feet; provided, however, that if that
specified radius would prohibit smoking on a patio where smoking is otherwise
allowed by this Article or by state law, such radius shall be reduced to zero (0)
feet in that case to allow for smoking on such patio"
