ITEM NO: 1
DATE: November 8, 2021 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 54-2021 – A RESOLUTION APPROVING
A MAJOR SUBDIVISION AT 3900-3920 UPHAM STREET IN THE RESIDENTIAL-THREE (R-3) ZONE DISTRICT (CASE NO. WS-21-02 / FOX HOLLOW ON UPHAM). PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_____________________________ Community Development Director City Manager ISSUE: The applicant is requesting approval of a major subdivision on property located at 3900 to 3920
Upham Street. The purpose of the request is to subdivide the existing two (2) lots into six (6) lots
and a drainage tract.
PRIOR ACTION: Planning Commission heard the request at a public hearing on October 21, 2021 and recommended approval of the major subdivision for the following reasons:
1. All requirements of the subdivision regulations (Article IV) of the zoning and development code have been met. 2. All agencies can provide services to the property with improvements installed at the developer’s expense.
Attached is a copy of the Planning Division staff report, which provides a detailed description of
the application.
Council Action Form – Major Subdivision at 3900-3920 Upham Street November 8, 2021
Page 2
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Fees in the amount of $1,825 were collected for the review and processing of Case No. WS-21-
02. Permit fees and use tax will be paid at time of building permit for future development. Fees-
in-lieu of parkland dedication of $2,497.29 per additional residential unit will be paid at time of building permit issuance.
BACKGROUND: The site is located on the east side of Upham Street between 38th Avenue and 44th Avenue. The
site is 56,714 square feet (1.3 acres) and contains two lots that are roughly the same size:
• 3900 Upham Street: contains a single-family home built in 1942
• 3920 Upham Street: contains a single-family home built in 1932
The property is zoned Residential-Three (R-3), as are all properties in this area along Upham Street. Properties to the south are zoned Mixed Use – Neighborhood (MU-N) and Mixed Use – Commercial (MU-C) and contain a variety of uses, including office, the fire department, a public school, and the 4-story building known as West 38 containing high-density apartments and retail. Properties along Upham Street in this area contain a variety of residential uses, including
apartment buildings and single-family homes. Part of the school property to the east is zoned Residential-Two (R-2), and the school building abuts the southeast corner of the subject property. Key components of the subdivision are described below. The plat document and additional
details are included in the Planning Division staff report. The purpose of a subdivision plat is not to review specific site plan details, but rather to confirm appropriate lot configuration, access, rights-of-way, easements, and utility service to the site in order to create developable parcels for land uses that are already permitted by the underlying
zoning. The plat will allow new development lots to be created which meet the Residential-Three (R-3) zoning requirements. Lot Configuration The subdivision creates six (6) lots that are compliant with the R-3 development standards. Lots
1 and 6 are located along Upham Street and contain the existing single-family homes. The subdivision is designed around the preservation of the existing homes and permits for the renovation of these homes are being reviewed by the Building Division. Lots 2-5 will be located to the east behind Lots 1 and 6, and will be accessed by a central private drive that bisects the site. The private drive will allow access to all lots which is required by City Code. The
subdivision also creates Tract A at the east side of the site, which is designed for drainage (water detention) and landscaping. Each lot has been reviewed for compliance with the R-3 development standards, including minimum lot size and width. Any future development on the rear lots will need to comply with
the R-3 standards including setbacks, building height, building coverage, parking, and bulk plane (applicable to single family homes in R-3). Lots 2 and 3 (on the north side of the drive) are only eligible for a single-family home, based on lot size and width. Lots 4 and 5 (on the south side)
Council Action Form – Major Subdivision at 3900-3920 Upham Street November 8, 2021
Page 3
are eligible for a single-family home or a duplex, provided all other development standards can be met. Based on the size of the proposed lots, no multifamily development would be permitted
within this subdivision. For this reason, staff will review proposed homes for each individual lot
at time of building permit rather than through an overall site plan or planned building group. Easements & Public Improvements Several easements are created by this plat to allow adequate infrastructure and access, including
a central easement for access and utilities, a drainage easement across Tract A for stormwater
detention and water quality, and a drainage easements along the north and south sides of the property. The developer will construct public improvements within the dedicated right-of-way on Upham
Street, upgrading the existing frontage with a 5-foot attached sidewalk and curb/gutter. These
improvements will allow on-street parking on the east side of Upham Street along this property. A streetlight will also be added on this side of the street. A Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) will ensure these improvements are in place prior to any future Certificate of Occupancy.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
A subdivision plat is a technical document and review is a ministerial action. The plat complies with the requirements on the subdivision regulations (Article IV in Chapter 26 of the City Code, is consistent with the R-3 zoning requirements, and staff has confirmed that all utility agencies can serve the property. For those reasons, staff is recommending approval of the request.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution No. 54-2021, a resolution approving a major subdivision at 3900 and 3920 Upham Street and zoned Residential-Three (R-3) for the following reasons:
1. City Council has conducted a proper public hearing that meets all public notice
requirements as required by Section 26-109 and 26-407 of the Code of Laws. 2. The requested subdivision has been reviewed by the Planning Commission, which has forwarded its recommendation of approval. 3. The subdivision plat has been found in compliance with Article IV of Chapter 26 of the
Code of Laws.
4. All agencies can provide services to the property with improvements installed at the developer’s expense. and with the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall pay the required fees-in-lieu of parkland dedication at time of each
building permit. 2. The developer shall enter into a Subdivision Improvement with the City at the time of recordation of the subdivision plat.”

Planning Commission 2Case No. WS-21-02 / 3900-3920 Upham St. Subdivision
JURISDICTION:
All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case.
I.REQUEST
Case No. WS-21-02 is an application for a major subdivision on property located at 3900 and 3920 Upham Street. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing two (2) lots into six (6) lots, plus a drainage tract. Given the total number of lots, this request is considered a major subdivision, which
requires Planning Commission to make a recommendation to City Council who is the final authority
for approval.
The purpose of a subdivision plat is not to review specific site plan details, but rather to confirm appropriate lot configuration, access, rights-of-way, easements, and utility service to the site in order to create developable parcels for land uses that are already permitted by the underlying zoning. The plat
will allow new development lots to be created which meet the Residential-Three (R-3) zoning
requirements.
II.EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is located on the east side of Upham Street between 38th Avenue and 44th Avenue (Exhibit 1,
Aerial). The site is 56,714 square feet (1.3 acres) in size and contains two total lots that are roughly the same size:
•3900 Upham Street: contains a single-family home built in 1942
•3920 Upham Street: contains a single-family home built in 1931
The property is zoned Residential-Three (R-3), as are all properties in this area along Upham Street (Exhibit 2, Zoning). Properties to the south are zoned Mixed Use – Neighborhood (MU-N) and Mixed
Use – Commercial (MU-C) and contain a variety of uses, including office, the fire department, a public
school, and the 4-story building known as West 38 containing high-density apartments and retail. Properties along Upham Street in this area contain a variety of residential uses, including apartment buildings and single-family homes. Part of the school property to the east is zoned Residential-Two (R-
2), and the school building abuts the southeast corner of the subject property.
III.PROPOSED SUBDIVISION PLAT
Plat Document The proposed plat document consists of two pages (Exhibit 3, Fox Hollow on Upham Subdivision).
The first page includes a legal description of the property; signature blocks for the owners, City,
surveyor and County; and standard declarations and notes. The second page includes the plat map and data table which shows the proposed property lines and easements.
Lot Configuration
The subdivision creates six (6) lots that are compliant with the R-3 development standards. Lots 1 and
6 are located along Upham Street and contain the existing single-family homes. The subdivision is designed around the preservation of the existing homes. Lots 2-5 will be located to the east behind Lots 1 and 6, and will be accessed by a central private drive that bisects the site. The private drive will allow
Planning Commission 3 Case No. WS-21-02 / 3900-3920 Upham St. Subdivision
access to all lots which is required by City Code. The subdivision also creates Tract A at the east side
of the site, which is designed for drainage (water detention) and landscaping.
Each lot has been reviewed for compliance with the R-3 development standards, including minimum lot size and width. Any future development on the rear lots will need to comply with the R-3 standards
including setbacks, building height, building coverage, and parking. Lots 2 and 3 (on the north side of
the drive) are only eligible for a single-family home, based on lot size and width. Lots 4 and 5 (on the south side) are eligible for a single-family home or a duplex, provided all other development standards can be met. Based on the size of the proposed lots, no multifamily development would be permitted within this subdivision. For this reason, staff will review proposed homes for each individual lot at time of building permit rather than through an overall site plan or planned building group.
Easements Several easements are created by this plat to allow adequate infrastructure and access:
• The central easement is for service and emergency vehicle access (SEVA), utilities, general
access, and maintenance and it allows all lots access to Upham Street and to the utility network.
• Tract A is dedicated as a stormwater detention and water quality area. No buildings or structures may be constructed within this area because it is fully encumbered by a detention
easement per note 8.
• 10’ drainage easements are dedicated along the north and south sides of the property, and
between Lots 3 and 4, to allow drainage to flow to Tract A. This area will be landscaped but is also not buildable.
Public Improvements
The developer will construct public improvements within the dedicated right-of-way on Upham Street, upgrading the existing frontage with a 5-foot attached sidewalk and curb/gutter. These improvements will allow on-street parking on the east side of Upham Street along this property. A street light will also be added on this side of the street.
A Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) will ensure all improvements in the public right-of-way
and other on-site improvements necessary for the site to function, such as utilities and drive aisles, are in place prior to any future Certificate of Occupancy. The SIA dictates construction and maintenance responsibilities as well as the timing of permit issuance relative to completion of the public improvements.
Parkland Dedication The subdivision regulations include a parkland dedication requirement for all residential development based on the assumption that additional residents in the City will impact the demand for parks and
open space. The fee is $2,497.29 per residential unit paid at time of building permit issuance. Credit is
given for the two existing single-family homes, so fees are only required for any additional dwelling units that are built.
IV. AGENCY REFERRALS
All affected service agencies were contacted for comment on the subdivision plat regarding the ability
to serve the property. Specific referral responses follow.
Planning Commission 4 Case No. WS-21-02 / 3900-3920 Upham St. Subdivision

standards in Article IV of Chapter 26 of the City Code (subdivision regulations) and that all utility
agencies can serve the property. The plat provides for development of a land use that is permitted by

Subdivision at 3900-3900 Upham Street
It appears that the City’s staff have done their due diligence regarding this application.
Thank you. As someone who lives just north of this development, I look forward to seeing
this project go forward as it appears it will add value and stability to this dynamic area. I
applaud Silver Cloud Properties LLC for coming up with a proposal that adheres to the
existing zoning. This will likely reduce conflict between the City and area residents, enabling
the project to proceed smoothly — an improvement over previous development efforts and
evidence of hard lessons learned.

PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING (10/25/2021) BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (11/08/2021) RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO _______________________________ _____________________________________ Community Development Director City Manager ISSUE: The City’s zoning code has specific letter notice requirements for development applications including for neighborhood meetings, comment periods, and in advance of public hearings. For most
mailings, the code only requires that mailings are sent to property owners which excludes other stakeholders, such as renters or business tenants. This ordinance expands letter notice for development applications to include owners and occupants to provide more inclusive information sharing in the community. PRIOR ACTION: At the strategic planning retreat on February 20, 2021, City Council identified “new community engagement efforts and education” as a priority for the next two years. At a study session on May 3, 2021, staff proposed a workplan related to that priority. Among the ideas for new activities, staff proposed expanded notification requirements to specifically include tenants or occupants (in addition
to property owners) in the letter notice associated with land use applications. Letter notice practices were discussed at the August 9, 2021 study session, and City Council consensus was to modify the code to include owners and occupants in mailings.

Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance at a public hearing on September 16, 2021, and recommended approval. Meeting minutes from the Planning Commission hearing are attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Two costs are associated with this ordinance: the new cost associated with the purchase of address data and an increase in postage costs. Both are accounted for in the 2022 budget. Data purchase is estimated to cost about $2000 annually. Postage costs will vary for each mailing. Applicants have
historically been charged a notice fee of $120 per public hearing which is meant to include the
cost of postage and newspaper publication. This has been increased to a charge of $150 in the 2022 budget. Mailing volume and postage costs will be monitored over time to assess the financial impact.
BACKGROUND:
Current Code The City Charter and zoning code (Chapter 26) outline the rights of property owners and other stakeholders in relation to development applications. A review of the code reveals the many different provisions distinguish between owners and occupants; these can be organized into three
different categories: development rights, objection rights, and a right to information. This code
amendment relates to the right to information and mailing notifications that provide information related to pending and active development applications. The zoning code has long required that owners and residents within 600 feet be notified of
neighborhood meetings for land use applications. Letter notice for public hearings, however, has
historically only gone to property owners, though the radius was increased in 2020 from 300 to 600 feet. For certain other processes in the code, owners remain the only recipient of letter notice. Best Practice
Based on a survey of peers, the code and practice in Wheat Ridge is not an outlier. In a review of
12 other Front Range communities, many had a similar approach. About half of communities surveyed include residents, occupants, or physical addresses in letter notice in addition to property owners.
Increasingly, however, the approach to public notice and engagement is shifting with many
communities reexamining historical practice and expanding efforts to inform and engage. The American Planning Association (APA) periodically publishes policy guides representing the organization’s official position on critical planning issues. The APA’s 2019 Planning for Equity Policy Guide acknowledges that “neighborhood power structures have been dominated by single-
family homeowners who are often predominantly white and above median income.”1 It does not
specifically address a right to protest or right to information but notes that “inclusion acknowledges social impact and gives value to local knowledge.”
1 The Planning for Equity Policy Guide was published by the American Planning Association in 2019 and is available for download from the APA’s website: https://planning.org/publications/document/9178541/

Expanding notice for development applications to include occupants in addition to owners would be consistent with planning best practices. Additionally, it would be consistent with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan in which Community Services Goal #7 aspires to “make all aspects of City
government transparent, engaging, and accessible for all community members.” Proposed Code Amendment The attached ordinance modifies the code to include owners and occupants in the letter notice
associated with public hearings and certain comment periods for development applications. Several
code sections are updated for consistency to use the term “occupant.” This term was specifically selected over other options such as resident, tenant, and address. The term “resident” excludes non-residential occupants which is counter to the policy goal of inclusive notice. The term “address” does not provide sufficient clarity and is too impersonal—the goal is to notify more people not more
addresses. Lastly, while the term “tenant” was used during prior study sessions, this term connotates
a leasehold interest and again is potentially more limiting than intended. The phrase “owners and occupants” reflects the policy goal of notifying all owners of properties and all current occupants of those properties.
This ordinance does not change any objection, appeal, or development rights associated with
development applications. The ordinance includes a few clean up items, including an update from certified mail to first-class mail which appears to have been overlooked in a 2014 code amendment (Ordinance 1548).
With this code amendment, staff will purchase address data, and mailings initiated after the
effective date of the ordinance (15 days after final publication) will include all owners and occupants within a prescribed mailing radius. RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Council Bill No. 20-2021, an ordinance amending Chapter 26 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning letter notice to property owners and occupants for land use
applications, on second reading and that it take effect 15 days after final publication.”
Or, “I move to postpone indefinitely Council Bill No. 20-2021, an ordinance amending Chapter 26 of
the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning letter notice to property owners and occupants for
development applications, for the following reason(s) _________________.”

TITLE: COUNCIL BILL NO. 21-2021 – AN ORDINANCE
APPROVING THE REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 4051 CLEAR CREEK DRIVE FROM PLANNED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT (PCD) TO PLANNED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT (PMUD) (CASE NO. WZ-21-04)

QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_____________________________ Community Development Director City Manager
ISSUE: The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Planned Commercial Development (PCD) to Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) with an Outline Development Plan (ODP) for property located at approximately 4051 Clear Creek Drive. The request will add an additional
planning area (Planning Area 9) to Clear Creek Crossing.
PRIOR ACTION: Planning Commission reviewed this request at a public hearing held on October 21, 2021 and recommended approval. The staff report and a copy of the draft Planning Commission minutes
will be provided with the second reading materials.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Fees in the amount of $2,662.50 were collected for the review and processing of Case No. WZ-21-04. If the rezoning is approved, the City will benefit from various fees collected from future development applications, such as building permit fees and use tax.
BACKGROUND:
Council Action Form – Proposed Rezoning at Clear Creek Crossing November 8, 2021
Page 2
The site is located beyond the current northern terminus of Clear Creek Drive, on the west side of the Clear Creek Drive right-of-way and north of W. 40th Avenue. The existing street currently
ends as a cul-de-sac with a trail extending to Clear Creek. To the west of the property is
unincorporated Jefferson County, to the north and east is the Clear Creek Crossing development (currently under construction), and to the south is a Coors Brewing Company water storage facility. Coors currently owns the subject property, and there is a minor lot line adjustment underway to allow the transfer of ownership to Evergreen and creating the approximately 13 acre
site. There is an 80-foot wide Denver Water easement that covers Clear Creek Drive to the
northeast and parallel to the northeast property line. The property is zoned Planned Commercial Development (PCD) and development standards are regulated by the 2011 Clear Creek Crossing PCD Outline Development Plan (ODP). The site is
currently vacant land. The water storage facility is also zoned PCD and the adjacent Clear Creek
Crossing development is in the 2018 Clear Creek Crossing Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) ODP. Current Zoning
The existing PCD zoning on the property was established in 2011 with the Clear Creek Crossing
Planned Commercial Development Concept ODP, which included the entire current Clear Creek Crossing PMUD site, and the subject property. At the time, the project was owned by Cabela’s and proposed to be anchored by a Cabela’s and Walmart Superstore. The subject property was in Planning Area 7 (PA-7) of the PCD. The zoning allowed for a wide range of commercial uses,
including retail, office, and some special uses including campgrounds. Residential uses were not
permitted. Under the PCD, development on the site was severely restricted by a limit on the “floor area ratio” (FAR) for this site to 0.08 FAR. A campground (at the time conceptually planned for the
Boy Scouts) was a permitted use, but those plans did not come to fruition. The low FAR and low
intensity use was intended to balance out the significantly higher FAR and development that had been proposed for the site at the time, including the Cabela’s and Walmart. The original PCD included land owned by Jefferson County, Cabela’s, and Coors. Evergreen
purchased the property owned by Jeffco and Cabela’s which was about 100 acres in size and
comprised a majority of the original PCD. In 2018, Evergreen rezoned that property to PMUD for what is now described as Clear Creek Crossing. The subject site remained under Coors’ ownership and has remained vacant.
Proposed Zoning
The proposed PMUD zoning is required in order to accommodate the proposed residential use and to remove the FAR restrictions on this property. It’s also necessary to ensure compatible site and building design. The proposed zoning incorporates many standards and principles of the Clear Creek Crossing ODP and Design Pattern Book approved in 2018. However, the rezoning
for the subject property is considered a stand-alone application with its own customized
standards with the creation of Planning Area 9. The proposed rezoning consists of two documents:
Council Action Form – Proposed Rezoning at Clear Creek Crossing November 8, 2021
Page 3
1. Homestead District Expansion ODP of Planning Area 9: This is the ODP document that establishes the zoning boundary, character of development, permitted uses, and general
site boundaries, access points, and open space.
2. Design Pattern Book (DPB) for Planning Area 9 – Homestead District Expansion: This is an independent document from the existing DPB for Clear Creek Crossing and contains details on the design review process, concept site plans, a site analysis, detailed development standards, a diagram of the planning area, additional open space details, and
signage standards. This document makes some cross references to the overall DPB for
Clear Creek Crossing, as many of the proposed standards are the same. These two documents as well as a full analysis of the zone change criteria will be provided at second reading.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The application in this case is for the rezoning of property. This action is quasi-judicial, and as a
result, the applicant is entitled to a public hearing on the application. As Council is aware, rezoning in Wheat Ridge is accomplished by ordinance (Charter Sec. 5.10; Code Section 26-112). Ordinances require two readings, and by Charter, the public hearing takes
place on second reading.
First reading in these cases is a procedural action that merely sets the date for the (second reading) public hearing. No testimony is taken on first reading. Because it is important that the applicant and all interested parties have their due process rights to a hearing, the City Attorney advises
Council to approve rezoning ordinances on first reading. This merely sets the date for the public
hearing, and for this reason, the packet materials provided on first reading are generally limited. The Planning Commission packet and minutes will be included in the City Council packet for the public hearing.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to approve Council Bill No. 21-2021, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at approximately 4051 Clear Creek Drive from Planned Commercial Development (PCD) to Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) on first reading, order it published, public hearing set for Monday, December 13, 2021 at 7 p.m. as a virtual meeting and in City Council
Chambers if allowed to meet in person on that date per COVID-19 restrictions, and that it take
effect 15 days after final publication.” REPORT PREPARED/REVIEWED BY: Scott Cutler, Senior Planner

DATE: November 8, 2021 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 55-2021 – A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE JEFFERSON COUNTY MULTI-HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, 2021 UPDATE PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO ______________________________ __________________________
Community Development Director City Manager ISSUE: The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires an adopted natural hazard mitigation plan to be updated every five years as a condition of future funding for mitigation projects under Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) pre- and post-disaster mitigation grant
programs. Therefore, the 2021 update of the Jefferson County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, needs to be adopted by Council to replace the 2016 version. PRIOR ACTION:
The City Council adopted the 2016 Comprehensive Update to the Jefferson County Multi-
Hazard Mitigation Plan on August 22, 2016. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Adopting this comprehensive update to the previously approved plan has no immediate financial
impact on the City. However, adopting this updated plan will assist in maintaining or improving
the City’s CRS rating which will result in savings to residents who have floodplain insurance policies. BACKGROUND:
Mitigation planning begins with the identification of the natural hazards that may impact the
City. Once these hazards have been identified, risk assessments are conducted to determine the geographical areas that may be impacted by each hazard. The information from the risk

Page 2
assessment identifies vulnerable areas within and around the City. The last step is to identify potential future projects that will reduce the impact of the identified hazards on the City. The
plan will need to be updated again in 2026.
The public comment period for this update ended on June 25, 2021. A virtual public meeting forum was held in early June 2021. After public comments were incorporated, the plan was reviewed by the Colorado Office of Emergency Management (COOEM) and FEMA from July through September. FEMA approved the plan in mid-September pending adoption by the City
and other partner agencies. The plan was presented to Council at a study session on October 18,
2021. Consensus was provided to proceed with bring the plan to Council on November 8, 2021.
The cover page, table of contents, and executive summary of the plan are included as Attachment 1, the full plan is almost 300 pages. Annex E, for the City of Wheat Ridge is included as Attachment 2 and contains all of the elements of the overall plan that are specific to the City.
The community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary incentive program managed by the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The CRS program recognizes and encourages locally managed floodplain management that exceeds minimum NFIP standards and in turn provides discounted flood insurance rates to the City. Adopting this update will help to maintain the City’s CRS Class 5 rating and the resulting 25% discount that the City’s flood insurance policy holders receive.
Only nine other communities in Colorado and 160 communities nationwide, of 1,523 CRS
communities nationwide, are rated at a Class 5 or above.
An up-to-date and adopted hazard mitigation plan is an essential component of the City’s CRS program and provides a significant number of points, 240, towards reaching the minimum 2,500 points needed for the City’s current Class 5 rating. Having an up-to-date mitigation plan also
satisfies one of the pre-requisites to reach a Class 4 rating, with a resulting 30% discount.
Another pre-requisite for Class 4 is preparing a Watershed Master Plan, which staff will be exploring, and may provide enough points to reach the minimum 3,000 points to be a Class 4 CRS city. There is only one community in Colorado and 20 communities nationwide with ratings above a Class 5.
Keeping the City’s high Class 5 rating and 25% discount is critical as flood insurance rates
continue to rise for many policy holders due to ongoing changes in how those rates are calculated. In fact, FEMA’s new Risk Rating 2.0 became effective on October 1, 2021 for new policy holders and will be effective on April 1, 2022 for all policy holders. Staff is still researching the full impact that Risk Rating 2.0 will have on the City’s policy holders.
The primary goal of Risk Rating 2.0 is to have the rate for each property to be such that it
accurately reflects the risk for that particular property. Although rate increases will still be capped at 18 percent/year for most policy holders, many rates will rise at that maximum of 18% annual amount until the rates reach full risk rate for that property which could be several thousand dollars annually for some properties.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends adoption of this update to the Jefferson County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan as an official plan. This updated plan will aid in future planning of projects that will lessen the impact of a natural disaster on the community and will help maintain the City’s CRS rating.

• Jefferson County
• City of Arvada
• City of Edgewater
• City of Golden
• City of Lakewood
• Town of Morrison

The purpose of hazard mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from disasters or hazardous events. Studies have found that hazard mitigation is extremely cost-effective, with every dollar spent on mitigation saving an average of $6 in avoided future losses. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires that hazard mitigation plans be updated every five years for the jurisdictions to be eligible for federal mitigation assistance. All sections of the 2016 Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan were reviewed and updated to address natural and human-caused hazards for the purpose of saving lives and reducing losses from future disasters or hazard events.
This Plan will serve as a blueprint for coordinating and implementing hazard mitigation policies, programs, and projects in Jefferson County. It provides a list of mitigation goals and related actions that may assist
Jefferson County and its municipalities in reducing risk and preventing loss from future hazard events. The impacts of hazards can often be lessened or even avoided if appropriate actions are taken before events occur. By reducing exposure to known hazard risks, communities will save lives and property and minimize the social, economic, and environmental disruptions that commonly follow hazard events.
This Plan was also developed to maintain Jefferson County’s and participating jurisdictions’ eligibility for federal disaster assistance, specifically the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA), Hazard
Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grants including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA), and Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant
program, as well as the Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dam (HHPD) grant program.
Section 1 contains the Plan Introduction and Executive Summary.
Section 2 Community Profile describes the planning area, consisting of Jefferson County and the participating jurisdictions listed above, with updated information on demographics, social vulnerability,
and changes in development. It includes an assessment of programs and policies currently in place across the County to reduce hazard impacts or that could be used to implement hazard mitigation activities, and identifies opportunities to enhance those capabilities.
Section 3 Planning Process describes the process followed to update the Plan. A broad range of public
and private stakeholders, including agencies, local businesses, nonprofits, and other interested parties were invited to participate. Public input was sought throughout the planning process including online
surveys and public review of the draft Plan.
Section 4 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment identifies the natural and human-caused hazards of greatest concern to the County, and describes the risk from those hazards. The information generated through the risk assessment helps communities to prioritize and focus their efforts on those hazards of
greatest concern and those assets or areas facing the greatest risk(s). The best available information on

Lightning Limited Highly Likely Limited Medium
Pandemic Extensive Occasional Critical High
Severe Winter Storms Extensive Likely Critical High
Subsidence Limited Occasional Limited Medium
Tornado Limited Likely Limited Medium
Wildfire Significant Highly Likely Critical High
Windstorm Significant Highly Likely Limited Medium
Section 5 Mitigation Strategy describes what the County and jurisdictions will do to reduce their vulnerability to the hazards identified in Section 4. It presents the goals and objectives of the mitigation program, and details a broad range of targeted mitigation actions to reduce losses from hazard events.
Section 6 Plan Implementation and Maintenance details how the Plan will be implemented, monitored, evaluated, and updated, as well as how the mitigation program will be integrated into other planning mechanisms.
Following the base plan, annexes for each participating jurisdiction go into greater detail about how the risk from natural and human-caused hazards varies across the planning area, and lists each jurisdictions’ identified mitigation actions.
It is important that local decision-makers stay involved in mitigation planning to provide new ideas and insight for future updates to the Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan. As a long-term goal, the Hazard Mitigation Plan and the mitigation strategies identified within will be fully integrated into daily decisions and routines of local government. This will continue to require dedication and hard work, and to this end, this Plan update continues efforts to further strengthen the resiliency of Jefferson County.
1.2 Background
Each year in the United States, disasters take the lives of hundreds of people and injure thousands more. Nationwide, taxpayers pay billions of dollars annually to help communities, organizations, businesses,
and individuals recover from disasters. Additional expenses to insurance companies and

nongovernmental organizations are not reimbursed by tax dollars, making the costs of disasters several times higher than calculated amounts. Figure 1-1 shows the number and type of natural disasters in the US that have done more than one billion dollars in damage, showing how the frequency and cost of major disasters have risen over the past several decades.
Figure 1-1 Billion-Dollar Disasters in the US, 1980-2018
Source: NOAA
However, some types of hazards are predictable, and much of the damage caused by these events can be mitigated through the use of various zoning, construction and permitting vehicles and other preventative actions. Hazard mitigation planning is the process through which hazards that threaten communities are identified, likely impacts of those hazards are determined, mitigation goals are set, and appropriate strategies to lessen impacts are determined, prioritized, and implemented. Hazard mitigation is defined by FEMA as “any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life and property from a hazard event.” The results of a three-year, congressionally mandated independent study to assess future savings from mitigation activities provides evidence that mitigation activities are highly cost-effective. On average, each dollar spent on mitigation saves society an average of $6 in avoided future losses in addition to saving lives and preventing injuries, as illustrated in Figure 1-2.
This plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390) and the implementing regulations set forth by the Interim Final Rule published in the Federal
Register on February 26, 2002 (44 CFR §201.6) and finalized on October 31, 2007. Hereafter, these requirements and regulations will be referred to collectively as the Disaster Mitigation Act or DMA. While the act emphasized the need for mitigation plans and more coordinated mitigation planning and implementation efforts, the regulations established the requirements that local hazard mitigation plans must meet in order for a local jurisdiction to be eligible for certain federal disaster assistance and hazard mitigation funding under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Act (Public Law 93-288).

This plan builds on almost 20 years of mitigation planning in Jefferson County, starting with participation
in the 2003 Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) Hazard Mitigation Plan. Jefferson County developed its first stand-alone HMP in 2010, updated the plan in 2016, and has again updated it in 2021.
This plan is a comprehensive update to the 2016 plan. Information in this plan will be used to help guide and coordinate mitigation activities and decisions for local land use policy in the future. Proactive
mitigation planning will help reduce the cost of disaster response and recovery to the community and its property owners by protecting critical community facilities, reducing liability exposure, and minimizing
overall community impacts and disruption. The Jefferson County planning area is committed to reducing future disaster impacts and maintaining eligibility for federal funding.
1.3 Purpose and Scope
Jefferson County and the participating jurisdictions have prepared this multi-hazard mitigation plan to better protect the people and property of the County from the effects of hazard events. This plan demonstrates the community’s commitment to reducing risks from hazards and serves as a tool to help decision-makers direct mitigation activities and resources. This plan was also developed to position Jefferson County and its participating jurisdictions for the eligibility of certain federal mitigation funding assistance, specifically, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant programs (HMA), which include Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM), and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA). This plan also aligns with the planning elements of the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System (CRS), which provides for lower flood insurance premiums in CRS-participating communities.
Jefferson County remains dedicated to implementing the actions and strategies outlined in this updated Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Plan will be maintained regularly to address changes in hazards or vulnerabilities, and will be updated within the next five years.

Figure E-1 City of Wheat Ridge
E.2.1 History
The City of Wheat Ridge is a Home Rule Municipality located in Jefferson County, Colorado, United
States. Wheat Ridge is a western suburb of Denver.
Wheat Ridge was founded as a community in 1859. During that year, a small group of farmers, some
coming to Colorado in search of gold and silver, founded a rural village in this location. By the late 1800s, fertile soils and plentiful water led to the development of a small farming community. Up until World War

II, Wheat Ridge was a major supplier of fresh produce to the greater Denver area. However, during the 1940s and 1950s as the city evolved, carnation production became a major growth industry. For a time, Wheat Ridge was the largest producer of carnations throughout the world. Although commercial wheat production is a thing of the past, the ridges upon which much of this agricultural activity occurred remain, providing expansive views of the Front Range. Additionally, several greenhouses remain in the northwest metropolitan area. Each August, the city celebrates this heritage with the Carnation Festival. Started in
1970, the festival draws thousands of people to this premier civic event. The city was fully incorporated in 1969 as a statutory city when it was faced with annexation by surrounding cities. In 2019, the City
celebrated its 50th birthday.
Today Wheat Ridge is home to approximately 31,000 residents – making it one the smallest cities in the Denver metropolitan area. The City is an inner-ring suburb that affords residents with many of the conveniences of urban living, though the community still retains its small town character with a strong
sense of community. Its slow growth, compared to adjacent suburbs, offers stark contrast to the region’s significant population growth over recent years. Residents enjoy easy access to I-70 and downtown Denver. The City is well known for its nationally recognized park and trail system and lush tree canopy. Wheat Ridge is a community with deep roots and short commutes.
E.2.2 Population The U. S Census Bureau’s estimated 2019 population of Wheat Ridge was 31,331. Select Census and
American Community Survey demographic and social characteristics are shown in Table E-1 through Table E-2.

E.2.3 Social Vulnerability
Social vulnerability scores for the entirety of Jefferson County can be seen in Figures 2-2 through 2-6 in
Section 2 of the Base Plan. Wheat Ridge’s overall social vulnerability is above average compared to the
rest of Jefferson County and Colorado as a whole. In particular, Wheat Ridge’s vulnerability ranks above
high in the household composition and disability vulnerability category, and above average in the housing
and transportation and socioeconomic vulnerability categories. However, the City’s vulnerability ranks low
in the minority status and language vulnerability category. Resources and measures to reduce the social
determinants of disasters may be most effectively allocated to these areas. Moreover, it is critical that the

City analyze the individual social vulnerability indicators that make those parts of the community stand
out. Through ongoing evaluation, the City of Wheat Ridge will be able to more effectively reduce local
social vulnerability and increase their resilience to hazard events. For more discussion of Social
Vulnerability, see Section 2.3 of the Base Plan.
E.2.4 Growth and Development Trends
Table E-4 shows the various types and amounts of housing units in the City of Wheat Ridge based on
data from the American Community Survey Five Year Estimates for 2015-2019. As shown in the table, most housing units (52.1%) are single family homes (1-unit detached) in Wheat Ridge.

Most of the City is already developed; however, much of the developed areas are older and are slowly
undergoing redevelopment. All redevelopments are complying with current codes, so the regulations are being followed in the identified hazard areas, i.e., floodplains. The only area available for new growth is
on the west side of the City. Again, any developments in this area will also comply with the current codes, including those regulating identified hazard areas.
According to the HMPC, Wheat Ridge has seen 3 new apartment communities constructed since 2016, with 2 more starting soon. In addition, over 1,000 new townhome units have been or are being
constructed. All of this development is occurring in areas of low risk for avoidable natural hazards.
E.2.5 Natural, Cultural, and Historic Resources Assessing the vulnerability of Wheat Ridge to disaster also involves inventorying the natural, historical, and cultural assets of the area. This step is important for the following reasons:
• The community may decide that these types of resources warrant a greater degree of protection due to their unique and irreplaceable nature and contribution to the overall economy.
Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan
Annex E. City of Wheat Ridge
2021-2026 Page E-6
• If these resources are impacted by a disaster, knowing so ahead of time allows for more prudent care in the immediate aftermath, when the potential for additional impacts are higher.
• The rules for reconstruction, restoration, rehabilitation, and/or replacement are often different for these types of designated resources.
• Natural resources can have beneficial functions that reduce the impacts of natural hazards, such as wetlands and riparian habitat, which help absorb and attenuate floodwaters.
Natural Resources
Natural resources of importance in Wheat Ridge include the 42 sites that are parks, open space, recreation centers, or areas of visual green space totaling approximately 430 acres. Of this, 7 sites are neighborhood parks (49.20 acres), and 7 sites are pocket parks (8.0 acres). Two park sites in the city are
community parks (66.0 acres). These two community parks also serve as neighborhood parks for residents living nearby, which is generally considered within a 0.5-mile radius. There is also 1 dedicated
sports complex in the city (16.0 acres), 1 natural area (9.0 acres), 1 open space area (250.0 acres), and 17 areas of visual green space (0.87 acre). For information about natural resources in Jefferson County,
which includes Wheat Ridge, see Section 4.2.3 of the Base Plan.
Historic and Cultural Resources
Table E-6 lists the properties in Wheat Ridge that are on the National Register of Historic Places and/or the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties; for more information about these registers, see
Section 4.2.3 of the Base Plan.

The National Park Service administers two programs that recognize the importance of historic resources, specifically those pertaining to architecture and engineering. While inclusion in these programs does not
give these structures any sort of protection, they are valuable historic assets. There are currently no Historic American Building Survey (HABS) or Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) buildings in the City of Wheat Ridge.
It should be noted that as defined by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), any property over 50
years of age is considered a historic resource and is potentially eligible for the National Register. Thus, in the event that the property is to be altered, or has been altered, as the result of a major federal action, the
property must be evaluated under the guidelines set forth by NEPA. Structural mitigation projects are considered alterations for the purpose of this regulation.
E.3 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
A hazard identification and vulnerability analysis was completed for the City of Wheat Ridge using the same methodology as in the base plan. The information to support the hazard identification and risk assessment for this Annex was collected through a Data Collection Guide.
Each participating jurisdiction was in support of the main hazard summary identified in the base plan; however, the hazard summary for each jurisdictional annex may vary slightly due to specific hazard risk and vulnerabilities unique to that jurisdiction. This helps to differentiate the jurisdiction’s risk and vulnerabilities from that of the overall County.
Table E-7 lists the significance of each hazard for the City of Wheat Ridge based on the updated risk assessment and planning team input. The highest risk hazards were determined to be dam failure, flood, pandemic, and tornado.

E.5 Vulnerability Assessment
This section provides a refined vulnerability assessment, specific for the City of Wheat Ridge, for those hazards where the risk is significantly different from that of Jefferson County overall, or where sufficient data exists to conduct mapping and analysis at the local level. For the following hazards, the City’s risk does not differ significantly from the rest of the County, and they are not profiled further:
• Avalanche
• Drought
• Earthquake
• Erosion and Deposition
• Expansive Soils
• Extreme Temperatures
• Hailstorm
• Lightning
• Tornado
• Windstorm
• Winter Storm
• Cyber Attack
• Pandemic/Public Health
This section details vulnerability to specific hazards, where quantifiable, and where it differs from that of the overall County. The results of detailed GIS analyses used to estimate potential for future losses are presented here, in addition to maps of hazard areas. For a discussion of the methodology used to develop the loss estimates refer to Section 4.3 of the Base Plan.
E.5.1 Flood According to the vulnerability assessment conducted using GIS, Wheat Ridge has one of the higher potentials for economic loss from flooding in the County. Clear Creek flows through Wheat Ridge, and there is also risk from Lena Gulch that crosses the City. Note that this is based on computer modeling that may not reflect specific mitigation activities.
Figure E-4 depicts the FEMA flood zones (1% annual chance and 0.2% annual chance) as well as all the at-risk properties in Wheat Ridge.

Previous Flood Events
Through the Data Collection Guide, the City of Wheat Ridge noted specific historic hazard events to include in the community profile. These events have been incorporated into the appropriate hazard
chapters in the base plan. These events had a particular impact on the community beyond the impacts and events recorded in the Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan. This is not a comprehensive
summary of past incidents, as the hazard profiles collected in the main Mitigation Plan include other events that may have historically impacted the jurisdiction.
The events noted by this jurisdiction in the Data Collection Guide include:
April 2015 thru Early July 2015 Heavy Rains and Flooding
During this period, the City received rainfall almost equal to its annual average. During just the 8 weeks from mid-April to mid-June, the City received 13.5 inches of rainfall. Basement flooding was reported
throughout the City due to the high groundwater that resulted.
September 2013 Localized Flooding
Although the City was spared the impacts of the week-long rainfall that inundated northern Colorado, one afternoon a localized thunderstorm passed over the central part of the City dropping around 2.5 inches of rain and small hail in about an hour. Local flooding occurred in several areas with several basements being flooded. Clear Creek at the bridge over Kipling was very close to the underside of it due to high
flows but was never overtopped.
E.5.2 Dam Failure
According to the analysis of dams, Wheat Ridge has one High Hazard dam (Maple Grove Dam) whose failure could impact life and/or property. The Fairmount Reservoir Dam, also a High Hazard Dam, is
located immediately to the west of the City of Wheat Ridge, see Figure E-6. Note that there are several dams west of Jefferson County that could impact Clear Creek if they failed. These are noted as impacting
Golden first in Section 4 of the Base Plan, but they would also impact Wheat Ridge.
Note: Hazard class does not indicate dam condition, it merely indicates risks in case of failure. A high
hazard dam poses risk to both life and property, a significant hazard dam only poses a risk to property. See discussion the Section 4 of the Base Plan.

The events noted by this jurisdiction in the Data Collection Guide include:
1979 Dam Failure
On March 17, 1979, the fabridam, a type of inflatable dam, was punctured by an unknown, sharp object. It was determined to be most likely due to vandalism. Vandalism of fabridam spillway for the Maple Grove Dam caused an unscheduled release of 100 acre-ft of water from the Maple Grove Reservoir in about 3
hours. Flooding occurred from the Dam south of 32nd Avenue to the confluence with Clear Creek. The fabridam spillway was replaced in 2004 with a more vandal resistant structure.
E.5.3 Geologic Hazards Wheat Ridge has some very limited exposure to landslide. There is a small area of risk in the northwest
corner of the City, between Mt. Olivet Cemetery and Ward Road Pond. Wheat Ridge’s proximity to the Golden Fault as a potential, though unlikely, earthquake source make it more vulnerable to earthquake
damage.
E.5.4 Wildfire While not a foothills community, Wheat Ridge does have some risk to wildfires, particularly along the Clear Creek riparian area, see Figure E-7. According to the GIS based analysis of wildfire, Wheat Ridge
has 580 improved parcels and 658 buildings exposed to the lowest wildfire risk area. Together, these properties represent a value of approximately $364 million. Wheat Ridge also has a total of 8 critical
facilities at risk to wildfire, see Table E-15.

E.5.5 Other Hazards In the case of other hazards that are not specific to geography such as drought, hailstorms, winter storms, lightning, tornado, and windstorm the entire building inventory and population in the City is potentially exposed. That is the reason for the asset inventory provided in Section 1.3. It should be noted that no
hazard in this plan is expected to cause widespread impacts to this inventory. The urban forest present across much of Wheat Ridge can be prone to windstorms and winter storms. These storms occasionally
cause large cottonwoods or tree limbs to impact power lines and properties.

Previous Hazard Events
Through the Data Collection Guide, the City of Wheat Ridge noted specific historic hazard events to include in the community profile. These events have been incorporated into the appropriate hazard chapters in the base plan. These events had a particular impact on the community beyond the impacts and events recorded in the Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan. This is not a comprehensive summary of past incidents, as the hazard profiles collected in the main Mitigation Plan include other
events that may have historically impacted the jurisdiction.
The events noted by this jurisdiction in the Data Collection Guide include:
May 8, 2017 Severe Thunderstorm and Large Hail
A severe afternoon thunderstorm impacted the Denver Metropolitan area, significantly impacting Jefferson County. Specific to the City of Wheat Ridge, damage to City owned facilities amounted to $2.2 million to buildings and $600,000 to City owned vehicles. 7,500 roofing permits were issued related to the
hailstorm with a total valuation of $212 million. Minor injuries were anecdotally reported, however there were no known hospitalizations in Wheat Ridge.
July 2009 Hail/Windstorm
A severe thunderstorm produced damaging winds, large hail, and very heavy rain across the western and
southern suburbs of Denver. Widespread damage was observed in the City of Wheat Ridge. The intense straightline winds were the result of a wet microburst which downed hundreds of trees and snapped
power poles. Winds gusts to 80 mph were reported along with nickel to golf ball size hail. The combination of wind and hail produced widespread damage to homes and vehicles. Many Wheat Ridge residents were left without power. Minor injuries were reported from broken glass during the storm, but no one was hospitalized. The City suffered an estimated $600,000 in damage to City property.
E.6 Capability Assessment
Capabilities are the programs and policies currently in use to reduce hazard impacts or that could be used to implement hazard mitigation activities. Wheat Ridge’s regulatory, administrative, and technical, and fiscal mitigation capabilities are summarized in Section 2.7 of the Base Plan.
National Flood Insurance Program
The City of Wheat Ridge joined the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) on May 26, 1972 and the Community Rating System (CRS) on October 1, 1991. The NFIP allows private property owners to purchase affordable flood insurance and enables the community to retain its eligibility to receive certain federally backed monies and disaster relief funds. The CRS is a voluntary program for NFIP-participating communities. It provides flood insurance discounts to policyholders in communities that provide extra measures of flood above the minimum NFIP requirements. As of December 2020, Wheat Ridge had a CRS class rating of 5 (one a scale of 1-10, 1 being the best). This rating provides a 25 percent discount for policyholders within a special flood hazard area (SFHA) and a 10 percent discount for those outside of an SFHA.
NFIP insurance data indicates that as of December 2020, there were 219 (down from 219 policies in 2015) policies in force in Wheat Ridge, resulting in $54,870,100 of insurance in force. In Wheat Ridge, there have been 45 historical claims (up from 44 historical claims in 2015) for flood losses totaling $97,251. At the time this plan was developed there were no repetitive or severe repetitive loss structures as defined by the NFIP.
Mapping: Wheat Ridge’s initial Flood Insurance Rate Map became effective on 5/26/1972. The most current Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps were updated and became effective on 2/5/14.
Wheat Ridge’s municipal codes and ordinances have been updated to reflect the most current mapping. DFIRMs have been used by the City for both floodplain management and risk assessment purposes.

Preventive
Preventive activities keep problems from getting worse. The use and development of hazard-prone areas is limited through planning, land acquisition, or regulation. They are usually administered by building, zoning, planning, and/or code enforcement offices.
2009 City of Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan
The City’s comprehensive plan is a guide to help the City make decisions and establish its future
direction. The goals and policies contained within the plan cover a broad range of subjects matter related to services, issues, and geographic areas within Wheat Ridge. Combined, these elements serve to direct future policy decisions to preserve vital community attributes and service levels and manage growth. The goals and policies were defined in the original 2000 Plan and remained unchanged in the Plan Addendums. The Plan Addendums each focus on new or changing development in Wheat Ridge.
The following goals and related polices that are relevant to this hazard mitigation plan are excerpted here:
• Goal CS 2 – Continue investment in parks, recreation, and open space. Wheat Ridge will maintain and continue to invest in providing quality parks, open space, and recreation facilities that are accessible to all neighborhoods and residents, using the Parks and Recreation Master Plan to guide investment and locations.
− CS 2.1 – Parks, Recreation and Open Space. The City, in coordination with Jefferson County, Jefferson County Schools, and other organizations will continue to maintain and enhance parks, recreation, and open space offerings and facilities.
• Goal CS 4 – Continue coordination with fire districts and utility providers to maintain quality service.
The City will continue to coordinate with utilities and fire districts to maintain quality levels of service to existing customers and provide new services to areas where future growth will occur.
− CS 4.1 – Utility and Service Districts. The City will continue to coordinate development and redevelopment activities with utility providers and service districts.
• Goal SF 2 – Protect and preserve natural assets. Wheat Ridge will protect and conserve its natural, scenic, and environmental assets including the urban tree canopy, Wheat Ridge Greenbelt, Lena Gulch, and other drainage ways.
− SF 2.1 – Natural Resource Stewardship. The City will continue to work with Jefferson County to
provide stewardship of unique and sensitive natural resources and areas.
Wheat Ridge Weed Management Program (2003) The Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department
uses integrated pest management, a decision-making process that selects, integrates, and implements control methods to prevent or manage noxious weeds. The Weed Management Plan focuses on long-
term prevention or suppression of undesirable species while reducing the impact that control techniques may have on the environment, human health, and non-target species. The Weed Management Plan is an
integral part of the Wheat Ridge Open Space Management Plan.
Municipal Code
E.6.1.1.1 Section 26, Article 8: Floodplain Management
The City adopted several revisions to the floodplain ordinance on January 13, 2014, that went into effect
on January 28, 2014 (Ordinance 1544). These changes involved adopting new state regulations and new floodplain maps and incorporating minor changes to update the language in the ordinance to current
standards.
There were two new state regulations that the City adopted that included:
1. The freeboard requirement is the minimum height above the flood elevation for most buildings. This requirement has been set at two feet for critical facilities.
Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan
Annex E. City of Wheat Ridge
2021-2026 Page E-20
2. Certain areas that are removed from the floodplain by using fill materials, would still be regulated as if they are still in a floodplain with respect to freeboard. This essentially means that basements would not
be allowed in those areas.
An excerpt from the municipal code is provided here. The city council hereby finds it in the public interest, and in the furtherance of the public health, safety and welfare, that the following objectives be fulfilled:
• To promote the public health, safety and general welfare, to minimize flood losses in areas subject to flood hazards, and to promote wise use of the “Flood Regulatory District” by:
− Prohibiting certain uses which are dangerous to life or property in time of flood.
− Restricting uses which would be hazardous to the public health in time of flood.
− Restricting uses which are so particularly susceptible to flood damage, so as to alleviate hardship and reduce demands for public expenditures for relief and protection.
− Restricting permitted Flood Regulatory District uses, including public facilities which serve such uses, to be protected against floods by providing floodproofing and general flood protection at the time of initial construction.
• To protect occupants of the Flood Regulatory District from a flood which is or may be caused by their own, or other, land use and which is or may be undertaken without full realization of the danger
through:
− Regulating the manner in which structures designed for human occupancy may be constructed so as to prevent danger to human life within such structures.
− Regulating the method of construction of water supply and sanitation systems so as to prevent disease, contamination and unsanitary conditions.
− Delineating and describing areas that could be inundated by floods so as to protect individuals
from purchasing lands for purposes which are not in fact suitable.
− Ensuring that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard.
− Ensuring that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazards assume responsibility for their actions.
• To protect the public from the burden of extraordinary financial expenditures for flood control and relief.
− Regulating all uses within the Flood Regulatory District so as to produce a method of construction and a pattern of development which will minimize the probability of damage to property and loss of life or injury to the inhabitants of the flood hazard areas.
− Minimizing the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding which are generally undertaken at the expense of the general public.
− Minimizing prolonged business interruptions.
− Minimizing damage to public facilities and utilities, such as water and gas mains; electric, telephone and sewer lines; streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard.
− Helping maintain a stable tax base by providing for sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future flood-blight areas.
− Participating in the National Flood Insurance Program to assist property owners in obtaining adequate insurance coverage.
• To protect the hydraulic characteristics and storage capacity of the Flood Regulatory District and small watercourses, including the gulches, sloughs and artificial water channels, used for conveying floodwaters so as to promote retention of sufficient floodway area to convey flood flows which can reasonably be expected to occur by:
− Regulating filling, dumping, dredging and alteration of channels by deepening, widening or relocating, so as to maintain natural storage capacity and slow flow characteristics.
− Prohibiting unnecessary encroachments.
− Encouraging uses such as agriculture, open space, recreation, greenbelt, riding trails and parking.
Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan
Annex E. City of Wheat Ridge
2021-2026 Page E-21
− Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas.
− Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion hazards or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities.
− Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction.
(Ord. No. 2001-1215, § 1, 2-26-01)
Other Ordinances
Chapter 26 Zoning and Development - The intent and purpose of the zoning code of the City of Wheat Ridge is to encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the city to ensure a logical growth of
the various physical elements of the city; to lessen congestion in the streets and to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation within and through the city; to secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers;
to provide adequate light and air to the residents, structures and properties within the city; to improve housing standards; to conserve property values; to facilitate adequate provision for water, sewage,
schools, parks and other public improvements; to protect against poor or inadequate drainage or flood conditions and poor geologic conditions; and in general to promote the health, safety and welfare of the
citizens and residents of the City of Wheat Ridge. It is further the intent of this zoning code to preserve the right of citizens to participate in the making of decisions which affect their properties while preserving,
to the maximum lawful extent, the legislative and quasi-judicial discretion of the elected representatives of the City of Wheat Ridge.
Property Protection
Property protection activities are usually undertaken by property owners on a building-by-building or
parcel basis. The City has done several floodplain mitigation projects along Lena Gulch and purchased two properties in 2008 and 2009 for a future project. The houses and other improvements were removed from those properties and the properties were added to the nearby open space at Lewis Meadows Park. The City is also exploring funding opportunities for projects along Clear Creek.
Natural Resource Protection
Natural protection activities preserve or restore natural areas or their natural functions. They are usually
implemented by parks, recreation, or conservation agencies or organizations.
City of Wheat Ridge Open Space Management Plan (2002) – The purpose of the City of Wheat Ridge Open Space Management Plan is to establish a framework for setting priorities and provide specific management direction for natural, scenic, and recreational resources within the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt,
Lewis Meadows, and future open space acquisitions. Implementation of the Plan will assist the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department in its efforts to preserve and enhance these areas for present
and future generations. This Plan supplements numerous studies that have been completed through 2001 on Wheat Ridge open space. Relevant information from these municipal and county plans and environmental reports has been reviewed and incorporated into this Plan. The Weed Management and Wildfire Management Plans are integral to the Open Space Management Plan.
Emergency Services
Emergency services measures are taken during an emergency to minimize its impacts. These measures
are the responsibility of city or county emergency management staff and the owners or operators of major or critical facilities. The City has installed an Emergency Warning System with sirens that are capable of
both tone and voice warnings. Most of the floodplain areas of the City are currently covered by the EWS. As of 2015, there are 18 EWS sirens in Wheat Ridge – these are described further in the Wheat Ridge
Local Energy Assurance Plan.
City of Wheat Ridge Energy Assurance Plan (2012) - The City of Wheat Ridge Local Energy
Assurance Plan (LEAP) is a guide for Wheat Ridge city staff and officials charged with the responsibility of ensuring the continuity of operations and health and safety of the citizens of the City
during periods of energy emergencies. The overall goal of the LEAP is to enable Wheat Ridge to be more resilient to energy disruptions as a community.
Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan
Annex E. City of Wheat Ridge
2021-2026 Page E-22
The Plan is also designed to serve two specific purposes:
1. It serves as an energy disruption mitigation plan by identifying critical city facilities that must be
operational during a disruption in order to maintain essential services.
2. It provides an analysis of events that could lead to widespread energy disruptions.
It serves as a supplement to the City of Wheat Ridge Emergency Operations Plan by outlining roles and actions to provide for effective response during energy disruption events.
City of Wheat Ridge Wildfire Management Plan (2003) – As its foundation, the Wildfire Management Plan emphasizes working with adjacent landowners, land managers, and local agencies to reduce the potential effects of wildfire on human life, private property, and the natural resources of Wheat Ridge’s Open Space. The Wildfire Management Plan is an integral part of the Wheat Ridge Open Space Management Plan.
Structural Projects
Structural projects keep hazards away from an area (e.g., levees, reservoirs, other flood control measures). They are usually designed by engineers and managed or maintained by public works staff. The City and MHFD have several proposed channelization projects that have been conceptually designed in the Major Drainageway Planning – Phase B Conceptual Preliminary Design Reports that were
completed in 2007 and 2008 for Lena Gulch and Clear Creek. The goal of these projects is to reduce the number of properties within the 100-year floodplain. Funding for these projects is being pursued. Previous
projects along Lena Gulch have already removed some properties from the 100-year floodplain.
Public Information
Public information activities advise property owners, potential property owners, and visitors about the hazards, ways to protect people and property from the hazards, and the natural and beneficial functions
of natural resources (e.g., local floodplains). They are implemented by a public information team with support from various departments.
The City occasionally hosts an Open House event which is available to all residents. The Community Development Department sponsors several tables with floodplain and stormwater information. Community Development also hosts an annual floodplain meeting with invitations being sent to all properties within the 1% floodplain. The City prepared a floodplain video for its Top of the Hour series on Channel 8 that
received a 3rd place award at a national competition.
Public information boards are also included on kiosks at major parks that include emergency information
and other public health issues, i.e. animal diseases, wildfire, floods, etc. The City also utilizes its website, Channel 8, a quarterly newsletter, and various social media outlets to broadcast emergency information and public health concerns.
Opportunities for Enhancement
Based on the capability assessment, Wheat Ridge has several existing mechanisms in place that already help to mitigate hazards. There are also opportunities for the City to expand or improve on these policies
and programs to further protect the community. Table 2-15 in the Base Plan shows the potential financial benefits from increasing the City’s Community Rating System class.
City staff attends and actively participates in tabletop exercises generally related to flooding events with adjacent agencies. Lessons learned from these tabletop events are incorporated into the emergency
preparedness plans of the participating departments. A recent tabletop exercise in 2021 highlighted the need to prepare response plans, including evacuation routes and centers, for flooding events along the
City’s major drainageways.
E.7 Plan Implementation and Maintenance
Wheat Ridge has developed a Plan Maintenance and Implementation Strategy outlining their method and schedule for keeping the plan current. The Implementation Strategy below also includes a discussion of how the City will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process.
Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan
Annex E. City of Wheat Ridge
2021-2026 Page E-23
E.7.1 Implementation and Maintenance of the 2016 Hazard Mitigation Plan The City of Wheat Ridge recognizes and acknowledges the importance of hazard mitigation and has worked to integrate and incorporate hazard information into existing planning mechanisms. The City was involved in the annual updates to the 2016 plan and when possible has implemented the various action in the plan.
E.7.2 Monitoring, Evaluation, and Updating the Plan
The information contained within this plan, including results from the Vulnerability Assessment, and the Mitigation Strategy will be used by the City to help inform updates and the development of local plans,
programs and policies, as described in Section 6 of the Base Plan.
Wheat Ridge Community Development Department will be responsible for monitoring, evaluating, and updating this plan using the process outlined in Section 6 of the Base Plan. Wheat Ridge Police Department will also be responsible for representing the City on future Jefferson County HMPC meetings,
and for coordination with city staff and departments during plan updates. The Community Development and Police Departments and Fire District will meet at a minimum annually to discuss items that need to be updated and look at progress of action items. All items with budgetary requirements would need to be approved by City Council.
The City of Wheat Ridge will also continue to involve the public in mitigation, as described in Section 6.4 of the Base Plan. This will include posting information on the website and utilize marketing and
communications to get information to citizens and businesses.
E.8 Mitigation Actions
The City of Wheat Ridge has adopted the hazard mitigation goals and objectives developed by the Planning Team and described in Section 6.2 of the Base Plan.
The City had ten mitigation actions in the 2016 Plan, and has completed two of them:
• Maple Grove Dam operations plan
• NFIP/CRS/CIP/Stormwater Utility
The remaining actions have been carried over into the 2021 Plan, along with two new actions.
E.8.1 National Flood Insurance Program Recognizing the importance of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in mitigating flood losses,
the City of Wheat Ridge will place an emphasis on continued compliance with the NFIP. As an NFIP participant, the City has and will continue to make every effort to remain in good standing with NFIP. This includes continuing to comply with the NFIP’s standards for updating and adopting floodplain maps and maintaining and updating the floodplain zoning ordinance as well as review of any potential development
in special flood hazard areas.
E.8.2 Mitigation Actions
The local planning team identified and prioritized the following mitigation actions for the City of Wheat Ridge based on the risk assessment. Information on how each action will be implemented and administered, such as ideas for implementation, responsible agency, potential funding, estimated cost, and timeline also are included.
Many of these mitigation actions are intended to reduce impacts to existing development as well as future development. These actions include those that promote wise development and hazard avoidance, such
as building code, mapping, and zoning improvements, and continued enforcement of floodplain development regulations. Actions that protect critical infrastructure note which lifeline category is

QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________________________ ______________________________ City Attorney City Manager ISSUE: Council is asked to approve the agreements needed to allow the City to receive funds made available from the national opioid litigation class action suits.
PRIOR ACTION: The City of Wheat Ridge is one of several local governments in Colorado that pursued litigation against several pharmaceutical companies for their role in the national opioid epidemic. The City joined with other local governments in a class action lawsuit. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approximately $400 million will be made available from the settlement for both the State of Colorado and local governments, for which there is a distribution process. The Colorado Department of Law has come to an agreement with local governments for distributing opioid settlement and recovery funds. The exact financial benefit to the City will be
determined based on a formula administered by the state.
BACKGROUND: Pharmaceutical companies Purdue Pharma, McKinsey & Co., Johnson & Johnson, AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson caused an opioid epidemic when in the late 1990s they reassured the medical community that patients would not become addicted
to opioid pain relievers, and healthcare providers began to prescribe them at greater rates. Increased
prescription of opioid medications led to widespread misuse of both prescription and non-prescription opioids before it became clear that these medications could indeed be highly addictive.
Council Action Form – Opioid Settlements November 8, 2021

A broad group of state and local governments, including the City of Wheat Ridge, joined in class action suits against the manufacturers. This settlement is the result of those actions.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff and the City Attorney recommend approval. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve the Memorandum of Understanding and other required documents
pertaining to opioid settlements.”
Or, “I move to postpone indefinitely the approval of the Memorandum of Understanding and other required documents pertaining to opioid settlements for the following reason(s)

Dear Commissioner, Mayor, Administrator, Manager and/or Attorney:
We are pleased to inform you that the Colorado Department of Law has come to an agreement with
Colorado’s local governments for distributing opioid settlement and recovery funds to local counties and
municipalities. The attached Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is the product of a lengthy and
complex negotiation between the Attorney General’s Office, Colorado Counties, Inc. (“CCI”), Colorado
Municipal League (“CML”), and many negotiating local governments detailing that distribution process.
As you may know, the State, as well as several Colorado local governments, have pursued litigation
against various pharmaceutical companies for their role in causing the opioid epidemic in Colorado. That
litigation recently resulted in settlements with Purdue Pharma, McKinsey & Co., Johnson & Johnson,
AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson, resulting in up to approximately $400 million in
settlement funds for both the State and Colorado local governments to abate the opioid crisis.
To maximize the settlement funds within Colorado, it is important that all Colorado counties and
municipalities participate in these settlements and the distribution process by signing the following four
documents:
1. The MOU that lays out the allocation of Opioid recoveries in the State of Colorado;
2. The Subdivision Settlement Participation Form that releases subdivisions’ legal claims against
Johnson & Johnson;
3. The Subdivision Settlement Participation Form that releases subdivisions’ legal claims against
AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson; and
4. The Colorado Subdivision Escrow Agreement that ensures subdivisions’ legal claims are
released only when 95% participation by certain local governments has been reached. That
95% participation threshold is important because it triggers certain amounts of incentive
payments under the settlements and signals to the settling pharmaceutical companies that
the settlements have wide acceptance.

We are asking you to present the enclosed MOU, Subdivision Settlement Participation Forms, and
Colorado Subdivision Escrow Agreement to the body or individual with authority to approve and execute
the documents on behalf of your county or municipality. We request that you return the signed
documents as detailed below by November 5, 2021. If you are unable to return the signed documents
by this date, please contact Heidi Williams, Department of Law Director of Opioid Response, at
Heidi.Williams@coag.gov. By promptly returning the signed documents, we will be able to put Colorado
and our local governments in a position to maximize our share of the settlements and begin putting the
settlement funds to use abating the crisis in our communities.
Please email or mail the signed documents to either CCI or CML at the following addresses:

Colorado Opioids Settlement MOU: Frequently Asked Questions
1.What does this “settle” and why does Colorado need an MOU?
Nationwide settlements have been reached with the “Big 3” opioid distributors (McKesson,
Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen) and opioid manufacturer Johnson & Johnson to
resolve claims by state and local governments that these companies contributed to the opioid
epidemic. The claims being settled include those raised by local governments in the national
multi-district litigation (“MDL”), In Re: National Prescription Opiate Litigation, MDL 2804
(N.D. Ohio). More information about these settlements can be found at
https://nationalopioidsettlement.com/.
The Colorado MOU establishes the framework for distributing and sharing these settlement
proceeds throughout Colorado. Local governments and the State prepared the Colorado MOU,
which prioritizes regionalism, collaboration, and abatement. It is expected that the Colorado
MOU will also be used for settlements with other opioid defendants in the future, including any
settlement from Purdue Pharma’s bankruptcy proceeding. Colorado Attorney General Phil
Weiser signed the MOU on August 26, 2021. The Colorado MOU is included in this packet from
the Attorney General’s Office and can also be found at www.coag.gov/opioids.
2.Who put together the Colorado MOU?
Local government officials from across Colorado were involved in the negotiation of the
Colorado MOU with the Attorney General’s Office. County commissioners, mayors, county and
city attorneys, and other stakeholders came together with the assistance of Colorado Counties,
Inc. (“CCI”) and the Colorado Municipal League (“CML”) to establish the framework and
negotiate the details of the Colorado MOU.
3.How much money will Colorado receive and over what period of time?
Funds from the Big 3 and Johnson & Johnson settlements will be distributed over a period of
years. The Big 3 distributors will pay a maximum of $21 billion over 18 years, while Johnson &
Johnson will pay a maximum of $5 billion over no more than nine years. In total, up to
approximately $22.8 billion in settlement proceeds will be payable to state and local subdivisions
nationwide. Each state receives a percentage of that recovery, and Colorado’s maximum share
from these settlements will likely be more than $300 million.
However, as discussed more below, Colorado will receive its maximum share of settlement
payments only if enough local governments sign on to the deal. Also, the settling defendants
have the option to “walk away” from the deals if there is not enough participation, so it is
important that a “critical mass” of local governments signs on soon. Otherwise, the entire deal
could fall through.
ATTACHMENT 2
4. How can we maximize Colorado’s recovery?
The MOU was designed to ensure that as many local governments as possible would agree to its
terms. The Big 3 Distributor and Johnson & Johnson settlements include incentive payments
based on how many governments participate. Strong participation from local governments is
needed to receive the full settlement payments for all of Colorado. Local governments should
sign the Colorado Subdivision Escrow Agreement to ensure their legal claims are released only
when 95% participation by local governments has been reached, which secures significant
incentive payments under these settlement agreements. For more information on the incentive
payments, please see the graphics below:
5. Is participation limited to litigating entities?
No, participation is not limited to governments that filed suit in the opioid litigation. Money from
these settlements will be used for opioid crisis abatement in communities across Colorado,
regardless of whether they have chosen to sue. All Colorado local governments are eligible to
participate in the settlements and join the MOU, and the MOU does not allocate more funds to
cities and counties that chose to file suit—all cities and counties in Colorado are allocated funds
based on the same objective factors.
6. How will settlement proceeds be divided within the state under the Colorado
MOU?
Under the Colorado MOU, settlement proceeds will be distributed as follows:
• 10% directly to the State (“State Share”)
• 20% directly to Participating Local Governments (“LG Share”)
• 60% directly to Regions (“Regional Share”)
• 10% to specific abatement infrastructure projects (“Statewide Infrastructure
Share”)
7. How will the money be spent?
Under the Colorado MOU, all settlement funds must be used only for “Approved Purposes,” a
long and broad list that focuses on abatement strategies. These strategies emphasize prevention,
treatment, and harm reduction. Some examples of these strategies include training health care
providers on opioid use disorder (“OUD”) treatment and responsible prescribing, expanding
telehealth and mobile services for treatment, and increasing naloxone and rescue breathing
supplies. The list of Approved Purposes is broad enough to be flexible for local communities,
while ensuring that settlement funds are used to combat the opioid epidemic. The list of
Approved Purposes is attached as Exhibit A to the MOU, unless the term is otherwise defined in
a settlement.
To ensure that settlement funds are in fact used only for Approved Purposes, a General
Abatement Fund Council (the “Abatement Council”) will be formed. This committee will consist
of thirteen representatives appointed by the State and Participating Local Governments to ensure
opioid funds are spent in compliance with the terms of the settlements and the Colorado MOU.
8. How will direct payments to local governments be allocated?
Under the Colorado MOU, 20% of the settlement funds will be paid directly to local
governments. A list of the percentage of settlement funds that will be allocated to each County
Area (that is, the county government plus the municipalities within that county) is Exhibit D to
the Colorado MOU. Those allocations are further broken down to an intracounty level in Exhibit
E, which is a default allocation.
The allocations to each County Area are based on three factors that address the relative severity
of the opioid crisis: (a) the number of persons suffering from Opioid Use Disorder in the county;
(b) the number of opioid overdose deaths in the county; and (c) the amount of opioids distributed
within the county (measured in Morphine Milligram Equivalent units).
The intracounty allocations in Exhibit E are based on a default allocation model that will apply
unless the local governments in a County Area enter into an agreement that provides for a
different allocation model. These allocations are based on a model developed by health
economist experts, which use data from the State and Local Governments Census on past
spending relevant to opioid abatement.
To ensure transparency and that settlement funds are used for Approved Purposes, local
governments that receive settlement funds directly will be required to provide expenditure data
to the Abatement Council on an annual basis. Local governments that wish to join the MOU but
do not wish to receive any direct payments have the option to redirect their payments to the
Regional allocation described below.
A local government that chooses not to participate or sign onto the Colorado MOU will not
receive funds from the LG Share and the portion of the LG share that it would have received will
instead be re-allocated to the Regional Share described below.
9. How will payments to Regions be allocated?
Under the Colorado MOU, 60% of the settlement funds will be allocated to single- or multi-
county regions made up of local governments. Local governments in Colorado worked
collaboratively to develop the Regional Map, which emphasizes existing local infrastructure and
relationships. The regional map is below, as well as included in the Colorado MOU as Exhibit C:
For more information on the percentages of settlement funds that will be allocated to each
Region, please see Exhibit F of the Colorado MOU.
10. How will the Regions be governed?
Each Region will create its own “Regional Council” consisting of members from the constituent
local governments to determine what Approved Purposes to fund with the Region’s allocation.
The Regional Council will have the power to make spending decisions in the Region. The
Regions will designate a fiscal agent prior to receiving any settlement funds. Regional
governance models are attached to the Colorado MOU as Exhibit G. Each Region may draft its
own intra-regional agreements, bylaws, or other governing documents to determine how the
Regional Council will operate. Each Regional Council will provide expenditure data to the
Abatement Council on an annual basis.
11. How will the Statewide Infrastructure Share work?
Many stakeholders have expressed a need for capital improvements across Colorado, and
particularly in underserved areas, to abate the opioid crisis. The Colorado MOU directly
addresses this by allocating 10% of settlement funds going to these projects. This money will be
distributed by a statewide committee based on need. The Abatement Council will establish and
publish policies and procedures for the distribution and oversight of the Statewide Infrastructure
Share, including processes for local governments or regions to apply for opioid funds from the
Statewide Infrastructure Share.
12. How will attorneys’ fees and expenses be paid?
The Attorney General and local governments have agreed to a “Back-Stop Fund” for attorneys’
fees and costs. The attorneys’ fee provision in the Colorado MOU equitably allocates the cost of
attorneys’ fees across all local governments, while also allowing non-litigating entities to share
in the 25% premium for releases signed by the litigating entities in the “Big 3” Distributor and
Johnson & Johnson settlements.
Before a law firm can apply to the Back-Stop Fund, it must first apply to any national common
benefit fee fund. The Back-Stop Fund will only be used to pay the difference between what law
firms are owed and the amount they have received from a national common benefit fee fund.
Attorneys’ fees are limited to 8.7% of the total LG Share and 4.35% of the total Regional Share.
No funds will be taken from the Statewide Infrastructure Share or State Share.
A committee will be formed to oversee payments from the Back-Stop Fund. The committee will
include litigating and non-litigating entities. Importantly, any excess money in the Back-Stop
fund, after attorneys’ fees and costs are paid, will go back to the local governments.
13. Why is this a great result for local governments?
The Colorado MOU will ensure effective and efficient use of funds without dilution or diversion
of opioid settlement money to unrelated purposes or unnecessary overhead expenses. In the
Colorado MOU the local governments control 80% of the settlement funds.
• Bottom-Up Approach – The need is at the local level, so the resources should be, too.
• Local Voices – The communities bearing the brunt of this burden must have a meaningful
seat at the table to make decisions about where resources go.
• Flexibility – The Colorado MOU provides an opportunity for local governments to decide
how to entrust their own regional funds without unnecessary red tape.
14. How do I sign the MOU?
Local governments should sign four documents.
a. First is the MOU.
b. Next, each local government will need to sign a Subdivision Settlement Participation
Form for each of the two settlements (the “Big 3” Distributor settlement and the Johnson &
Johnson settlement) releasing their legal claims and stating they are participating in the
settlements.
c. In addition, a Colorado Subdivision Escrow Agreement should be signed to ensure
legal claims are released only when 95% participation by certain local governments has been
reached, which secures a significant portion of the incentive payments described in FAQ 4,
above. Under the terms of the Colorado Subdivision Escrow Agreement, CCI (for counties) or
CML (for municipalities) will hold the MOUs and the Subdivision Settlement Participation
Forms for each of the settlements in escrow until 95% participation by local governments has
been reached as to specified incentive payments under the respective settlement agreements.
Copies of the Subdivision Settlement Participation Forms, the MOU with signature pages for
each local government, and the Colorado Subdivision Escrow Agreement will be provided by the
Attorney General’s Office. The documents should be executed by the individual or body with
authority to do so on behalf of their respective county or municipality and submitted by mail or
email to either CCI or CML at the following addresses:

1 These allocations are based on the allocation model used in the Negotiation Class website. The allocation model is the product of prolonged and intensive
research, analysis, and discussion by and among members of the court-appointed Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee and Settlement Committee and their retained public health and health economics experts, as well as a series of meetings with scores of cities, counties and subdivisions. Additional information about the allocation model is available on the Negotiation Class website.
The allocations in the Negotiation Class website use two different methodologies:
County-Level Allocation
The allocation model uses three factors, based on reliable, detailed, and objective data collected and reported by the federal government, to determine the
share of a settlement fund that each county will receive. The three factors are: (1) the amount of opioids shipped to the county, (2) the number of opioid deaths in that county, and (3) the number of people who suffer opioid use disorder in that county.
County/Municipal-Level Allocation
The county/municipal-level allocation is a default allocation to be used if another agreement is not reached between the county and its constituent cities. The formula uses U.S. Census Bureau data on local government spending. This data covers cities and counties for 98% of the U.S. population. If a jurisdiction
lacked this data, it was extrapolated based on available data.
2 The municipalities of Bow Mar, Johnstown, and Timnath were not reflected as being in multiple counties in the Negotiation Class website. The estimated allocations to those cities are based on the same methodology used in the website, in consultation with the expert. For cities in multiple counties, please
see each county in which that city lies.

recommend six (6) Voting Members, and so long as such
recommendations comply with the terms of Section 3.2 (a) or (b), the Regional Council shall consist of CCI/CML’s recommended Members for
EXHIBIT G-1
an initial term not to exceed one year.5 Thereafter, Voting Members shall be appointed in accordance with Section 3.2 (a) or (b) and shall serve two-
year terms. Following the expiration of that two-year term, the Regional
PLGs, working in concert, shall reappoint that Voting Member, or appoint a new Voting Member according to Section 3.2 (a) or (b).

Regional Council members who have already served on the Regional Council may be appointed more than once and may serve consecutive terms if appointed to do so by the Regional Council.
3.3. Duties: The Regional Council is primarily responsible for engaging with the Abatement
Council on behalf of its Region and following the procedures outlined in the Colorado MOU for
requesting Opioid Funds from the Regional Share, which shall include developing 2-year plans,

fiscal agent regarding Opioid Fund expenditures. Upon request from the Abatement Council, the
Regional Council may also be subject to an accounting from the Abatement Council.
3.4. Governance: A Regional Council may establish its own procedures through adoption of
bylaws if needed. Any governing documents must be consistent with the other provisions in this
section and the Colorado MOU.
3.5. Authority: The terms of the Colorado MOU control the authority of a Regional Council
and a Regional Council shall not stray outside the bounds of the authority and power vested by
the Colorado MOU. Should a Regional Council require legal assistance in determining its authority,
5 Local Governments within Multi-County or Single County Regions may decide to select initial Voting Members of
the Regional Council between themselves and without CCI and CML involvement. However, the Regional Council must be established within ninety (90) days of the first Settlement being entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction, including any bankruptcy court.
EXHIBIT G-1
it may seek guidance from the legal counsel of the county or municipal government of the
Regional Council’s fiscal agent at the time the issue arises.
3.6. Collaboration: The Regional Council shall facilitate collaboration between the State,
Participating Local Governments within its Region, the Abatement Council, and other
