CM Hultin introduced Resolution 09-2022. Issue The City of Wheat Ridge has received an allocation of $1,789,050 for the purpose of issuing Private Activity Bonds (PABs) in 2022 under the state ceiling imposed by the Tax Reform Act of 1987. Staff recommends assigning the City’s allocation to Metro West Housing Solutions which has agreed to issue PABs for the renovation of the Caesar Square Apartments owned and operated by the Jefferson County Housing Authority. Mayor Starker opened the public hearing. Staff Presentation City Manager Patrick Goff introduced Lori Rosendahl from Jeffco Housing Authority dba Foothills Regional Housing. She spoke on the earlier bonds and updated the financial structure for these funds to be used for the redevelopment at Caesars Square. Ms. Case was brought on and added that they were almost finished with the project as there were a few cost overruns and that these funds will allow them to do a few extra things at the property that they are looking to accomplish Ms. Case also spoke to the council on the issue where the City of Wheat Ridge has traditionally assigned the City’s PAB allocation to either the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) or the Metro Mayors Caucus for single family mortgage revenue bonds. The last allocation assignment was approved in 2011 to CHFA. Since 2011, neither CHFA nor the Metro Mayors Caucus were accepting applications for allocations because of the decline in the financial markets and the impact that has had on investor interest in PAB. Between 2012 and 2018, the City’s allocation was City Council Minutes March 28, 2022 page 5 relinquished to the statewide balance for distribution to applicants by the Department of Local Affairs. In prior action City Council assigned the City’s 2019 and 2020 PAB allocations to FRH for the Caesar Square Apartments project and its 2021 PAB allocation for the Allison Village affordable housing project in Arvada. The Mayor reviewed the procedures. No citizens appeared in chambers to address this issue. There were none who wanted to speak through the Zoom format. Public Comment No one came forward to speak. Council Questions and comments CM Hoppe, who appreciated the work that had been done at the property, asked Ms. Case to explain about the few of the items that have come up that required a larger budget. Amy Case, CFO for Foot Hill Regional Housing spoke on the item where some of the overruns were brought on by COVID cost increases and supply chain issues, along with additional work done for longevity of the property, safety, and asset integrity. Mayor Starker closed the public hearing. Motion by CM Hultin to approve Resolution No. 09-2022, a resolution approving the assignment to the Housing Authority of the City of Lakewood, Colorado, D/B/A Metro West Housing Solutions, of $1,789,050 of the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado’s 2022 Private Activity Bond Volume Cap Allocation from the State Ceiling for Private Activity Bonds; and authorizing the execution and delivery of an Assignment and other documents in connection therewith, seconded by CM Hoppe, motion carried 7-0 ORDINANCES ON FIRST READING 3.

DECISIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND MOTIONS Discussion began at approximately 7:26 PM 5. Resolution No. 16-2022 - A Resolution approving a memorandum of understanding between Porchlight, A Family Justice Center, and the City of Wheat Ridge concerning the provision of on-site police department services at the Center CM Hoppe introduced Resolution 16-2022. Issue Porch Light, a Family Justice Center, began operations on February 25, 2021 and has been open serving victims and survivors of domestic violence since that time. In April of 2021 Wheat Ridge executed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with PorchLight to allow the Wheat Ridge Police Department (WRPD) to be a service provider through PorchLight despite not having dedicated space on site. WRPD now has dedicated on- City Council Minutes March 28, 2022 page 7 site space at PorchLight for use when needed, and as such a new MOU is requested by PorchLight because of this change. Staff Presentation Chief of Police Chris Murtha spoke on how more than 75 partner agencies have been working together to provide coordinated services for victims of violence. Violence can include physical abuse, emotional abuse, harassment, threats, strangulation, murder, elder, and at-risk adult abuse, human trafficking, property damage, and child abuse. The advantage of a Family Justice Center is for victims of crime to have one-stop access to essential services. The City of Wheat Ridge is an important and participating partner in Porchlight. WRPD has a great relationship with them, and this is just an amendment that allows us to have a seat at the table. Mayor Starker reviewed the procedures for public comment. No citizens appeared in chambers to address this issue. There were none who wanted to speak through the Zoom format. Public Comment No one came forward to speak. Council Questions There were none Motion by CM Hoppe to approve Resolution No. 16-2022 - a resolution approving a memorandum of understanding between Porchlight, A Family Justice Center, and the City of Wheat Ridge concerning the provision of on-site police department services at the Center, seconded by CM Dozeman, motion carried 7-0. 6. Motion to approve subsequent payments of $100,000 to Logan Simpson, Ft. Collins, CO, for the Open Space Management Plan Project CM Weaver introduced the Motion at 7:31pm. Issue The current Open Space Management Plan for the City is twenty years old. A request for proposals (RFP) was issued to solicit qualified firms to develop a new comprehensive Open Space Management Plan. Five proposals were received and accepted as complete. City staff has evaluated the bids, and Logan Simpson was selected as the most responsible and responsive bidder in the amount of $100,000. Staff Presentation Parks, Forestry and Open Space Manager Zack Lovato described how the intent of this project is to conduct a thorough analysis through discovery session and direct settings of the City’s open spaces. He said they will look at current management strategies City Council Minutes March 28, 2022 page 8 through engagement and surveys with the community, field research, and fact findings. This analysis will help to define the operational needs of the Parks Forestry, and Open Space Division, while accounting for the needs and desires of the community. The current Open Space Management Plan was written in 2002 and is over 20 years old. During that timeframe, much has changed in relation to the City’s open space including development, increased usage of the greenbelt, increased demand for access and facilities, invasive species, wildlife populations, and water quality. Mayor Starker reviewed the procedures for public comment where no citizens appeared in chambers to address this issue Public Comment No one came forward to speak on the zoom format Council Questions CM Weaver, hearing from constituents and water providers, she asked about issues such as the long-term understandings of how the ditches work, mostly with the historical ditches and park waters and many don’t understand the difference between agriculture water and public use water. CM Hultin is excited to get this Plan updated and to have a lot of input into it. She looks to get a sense of how forward the plans are going to be around recognizing the resources are both items they want to preserve and need to manage for the safety and preservation of the community. Both topics were answered in great detail by Mr. Lovato. CM Hoppe questioned that on the future agenda items list, there is a topic for wildlife and habitat management plan and wondered if this open space plan will help to address some of those concerns. Mr. Lovato answered that it will. CM Ohm asked about items including co-locating fiber optics under the trails and usage counts, now and in the future. Mr. Lovato responded affirmatively that there are dreams of having a smart trail system with communication and electrical connections on the trails. Also there are desires to increase data collection for these trails, by multiple platforms. Mayor Starker who is honored to sit on the Mile-Hi flood district, relayed that they have a great of group of talented people working on staff and excited to help and share resources, including design, and offered their assistance. Motion by CM Weaver to approve subsequent payments of $100,000 to Logan Simpson, Ft. Collins, CO, for the Open Space Management Plan Project, seconded by CM Hoppe , motion carried 7-0. City Council Minutes March 28, 2022 page 9 7. Resolution No. 17-2022 - A Resolution amending the 2022 fiscal year general fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $150,000 to accept grant funds from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs for the purpose of awarding a contract and approving subsequent payments to czb LLC for an affordable housing strategy and action plan CM Stites introduced Resolution 17-2022 at 7:48 pm. Issue Addressing affordable housing is one of the City and state’s most pressing issues. The Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) awarded the City a grant in the amount of $112,500 for an Affordable Housing Strategy and Action Plan (“Plan”) in October 2021. On February 18, 2022, the firm czb LLC was selected by the City’s established procurement process to perform the required professional services for completion of the Plan. This resolution amends the City’s 2022 budget in the amount of $150,000, accepts the grant award from DOLA and awards the contract to czb LLC. Staff Presentation City Manager Patrick Goff and Planner Jeff Hirt spoke briefly on the important topic, where State House Bill 21-1271 established a new program to support local governments in developing affordable housing strategies; the program is administered by the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). This DOLA program recognizes that affordable housing is one of the biggest issues facing the state and is a top-tier award. The grant is a well-timed opportunity that is supported both politically and throughout the city. There will be many engagements through council with the consultants from czb who are very familiar with the City of Wheat Ridge. The City has minimal adopted policy addressing affordable housing, nor any recent housing-related community-specific analysis or programmatic guidance. The City’s comprehensive plan is from 2009 and is still a couple years from being updated; the Housing Diversification Study was adopted in 2014, but it is not specifically focused on affordable housing and much has changed in the Wheat Ridge housing market in the intervening 7 years. This topic is tentatively scheduled for a City Council Study Session on the May 2, 2022. Key stages of the project include: • Policy direction from City Council; • Community engagement opportunities and focused stakeholder discussions (e.g., with affordable housing developers) early in the project to share ideas and help define housing needs and later to review the draft framework for the Plan; • A preliminary analysis of trends in the Wheat Ridge housing market using data from a range of sources (April/May); City Council Minutes March 28, 2022 page 10 • A housing needs assessment based on the data analysis and stakeholder discussions; • An analysis of the land use, financial, and policy tools listed in State HB 21-1271 (as required by the grant) and an assessment of which tools could be most impactful in Wheat Ridge (e.g., zoning code changes, partnerships, etc.); • An analysis of opportunity sites, such as the Lutheran Legacy Campus and others Mayor Starker reviewed the procedures for public comment where no citizens appeared in chambers to address this issue Public Comment No one came forward to speak. Council Questions CM Hultin was excited to see that czb received the contract where she had worked with them previously on the NRS. She was impressed with their methodology and their relationship with Wheat Ridges unique circumstances. CM Weaver congratulated the City on getting the grant, its great thing and very well timed. She agreed with CM Hultin’s comments. Motion by CM Stites to approve Resolution No. 17-2022, a resolution amending the 2022 fiscal year General Fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $150,000 for the purpose of funding the Affordable Housing Strategy and Action Plan and accepting grant funds from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, seconded by CM Hultin, motion carried 7-0. CITY MANAGER’S MATTERS Mr. Goff informed Council that the Director of Public Works Greg Knudson is retiring after 31 years with the City. He was a great asset and doesn’t want any fanfare and thanked him for all that he has done to help manage the streets, the vehicle fleet, and that he did a really great job. Director O’Donnell wanted to let everyone know about the trees sales coming up on April 16 and 23 at Anderson park, from 9am to 3pm. Residents will be able to purchase trees at wholesale prices, with payment by cash or check and pickup only. There will also be a tree planting event on May 14 on 38th ave. with more information coming later. An update was given on the tree grant program where there were 26 applications from last year, with 17 people following through. Any extra funds from last year were rolled over into this year’s program. The 2022 applications will be opening up to public in City Council Minutes March 28, 2022 page 11 April. Lastly there will be a recruitment, job fair at the recreation center on April 15 from 2-4:30 pm. Please let anyone who might be interested know. CM Weaver asked if the announcement will be on the Parks and Recreation webpage and other sources. Ms. O’Donnell confirmed that it will be so, with links to all of the tree different species. CM Hultin inquired about the size of the trees which was not able to be answered at this time. Mayor Starker and Ms. O’Donnell reminded everyone that there will be Easter egg hunts on April 9 from 10am until noon at Panorama, Anderson and Discovery Parks and they will be free. Mayor said that they are great events and if you’ve never been, you’ve been missing an opportunity so please attend. Chief Murtha stated that they will be hiring park rangers, and that this is occurring earlier than normal due to increased usage of the greenbelts and other areas. He also spoke about the restructured communication teams, with Sara Spaulding moving predominantly to the city side, with the WRPD hiring their own Public Information Officer (PIO) and named Joanna Small, who is in the process of moving out here from Lynnwood Washington. She was an award-winning newscaster who most recently worked for as the PIO for Lynwood PD and will make a great addition to the team. CITY ATTORNEY’S MATTERS Nothing tonight. ELECTED OFFICIALS’ MATTERS CM Hutchinson spoke on the beautiful day and the wind. She spoke also on wildlife sightings including coyote, foxes and bunnies in her yard. CM Stites recommends everyone to shop local and if you can find it, buy it in Wheat Ridge. CM Ohm was riding his bike on the Clear Creek trail and could see the progress at Prospect park, he and others are anxious for its re-opening. He also was excited for the tree sales and would like to have the mature height and width for the trees listed somewhere. CM Weaver was also super excited about tree sale and planting workshop, there will be an end of season workshop for what to do with them for the fall. CM Hultin recognized the Mayor as he represents the City on many boards and is widely revered on those boards, She thanked him for showing up in all of those rooms and being the voice for the City. She also wanted to suggest a study session to take a look at reevaluating the short- term rental (STR) tax rate where some of that goes to support the police work to help keep our motels and hotels safe. She wants to take a look at creating a standalone City Council Minutes March 28, 2022 page 12 STR Tax where the revenues would be used specifically for addressing homelessness or attainable housing in our community. CM Hoppe supports this. Mayor Starker thanked everyone and spoke about having a great walk with his son around Panorama park. He wished for everyone to stay safe and drive alertly, to make sure that all of our citizens get home every night.

A quorum of members (eight) of Council were present in Council Chambers for this session. Mayor Starker welcomed the Council, other elected officials, staff and interested citizens.

Citizen’s Right to Speak Montana Stephenson, 3655 Urban St., came to discuss the second agenda item, municipal refuse removal. She has been frustrated with the numbers of trash trucks she sees on our streets, creating traffic problems and air pollution. She is also concerned about cyclist and pedestrian safety as the trucks from several companies pass through her neighborhood regularly. She asserted that for more money ($28/mo.) she gets less service than people in Arvada who pay less ($20). Rob Robinson, 4 Hillside Drive, a long-term resident and member of the WR Sustainability Committee. He came to support the municipal trash removal plans in tonight’s item 2. Among the many reasons he supports it are the greenhouse gasses emitted by trash trucks and the lack of accessibility to recycling. Other cities have begun providing city-wide trash removal with good results. Guy Nahmiach, 3650 Ward Rd., came to opine on the impact of delivery trucks, school busses and other vehicles. He opposes the movement to begin using a single hauler for trash and recycling because he believes that action will result in poor service, constant complaints to staff at City Hall and dissatisfied residents who will not get better service, but worse. Noah Nowak (no address given) came to report on all the preparation and research done by Sustainability Committee and asked Council to carefully read the letter to Council in tonight’s packet. She enumerated the many positive impacts of a single waste hauler, ranging from lower cost, more recycling, to less traffic and reduction of greenhouse gas emission. She supports a city-wide trash hauler program for all the benefits the City and its residents would enjoy. Jenny Snow,7020 W. 35th Avenue, represents the WR Active Advisory Team, which advises on issues related to cycling and cyclist safety. She called to say that a top priority for the Federal funds available should be to extend and complete bicycle pathways, specifically the Walker Pond area. Not filling in this gap, and connecting more neighborhoods, would be a tragic missing of an opportunity to improve safety, accessibility and inclusiveness. Mark Westberg, 3320 Yukon Court, lives in a subdivision with a single trash hauler. Previously, he in another neighborhood, where the residents had multiple haulers. He strongly supports a single garbage hauler effort as much more convenient and pleasant than multiple haulers. (Mr. Westberg spoke tonight as a resident, not a city staffer.) Note about Wheat Ridge Speaks: Citizens may visit the Wheat Ridge Speaks website and enter written comments of up to 1,000 words on any Council agenda item. The deadline for citizens to submit comments is 12:00 Noon Mountain Time on the day of a Council session so that Council members, other elected officials and City Staff have time to review the comments before the meeting on Monday evening. The City Clerk’s Office transcribes those Wheat Ridge Speaks comments into these minutes, placing each comment along with the record for that agenda item. Dear City Council members, please see attached for a letter on this topic from the Wheat Ridge Active Transportation Advisory Team. Thank you for considering! April 4, 2022, 9:08 AM Attachments [See Attachment #1 below] Kelly Blynn 4175 Brentwood St Hello Wheat Ridge City Council- Thank you so much for taking the time to consider alternative approaches to how waste is managed in Wheat Ridge. We have loved living in Wheat Ridge since 2017 and feel that the city does a great job managing utilities, parks, etc. Our only real concern has been in the realm of waste management for several reasons: 1) For trash, recycling and compost collection services (from two different haulers), we pay over $60/month; that is many times more than what we paid previously for the same level of service in a neighboring municipality. 2) The lack of a coordinated waste strategy means that there are multiple haulers on our street every week. We and many of our neighbors have small children and feel that this poses safety concerns as well as unnecessary pollution, noise and wear and tear on the streets. 3) Some haulers do not provide their own receptacles with lids allowing trash to escape and blow around the neighborhood on windy days. My 5-year-old found trash including cigarettes in our yard after a recent wind event. 4) From an environmental perspective, we feel that it is important to expect that all haulers operating in Wheat Ridge at least offer trash, recycling and ideally composting options for residents. Thanks again for your time and attention to this issue! April 4, 2022, 10:00 AM Susan Renaud 4065 Lamar Street Wheat Ridge, 80033 TO: Wheat Ridge City Council Members I am happy to see that you are committed to looking into residential waste strategies for Wheat Ridge! This has been a concern for my family and I since we moved here in 2013. Having lived in Denver previously we were surprised when we moved to Wheat Ridge and found that residential trash services were more expensive and that there were trash trucks on our quiet residential street nearly every day of the week. My primary concerns are around: safety and noise; cost; and environmental impact. Safety and Noise: -We have a lot of small children and dogs on our street and surrounding streets. The trash trucks are loud and often drive too fast for the area. Cost: - We're paying two different waste service providers so that we can get trash, recycling, and compost. This is a lot more expensive than if there was one service that did it all. Also because we compost and recycle so much, we would really benefit from a pay as you throw model. Environmental Impact: -Having some many waste service companies means more trucks on our roads than is necessary which increases air pollution -We have an opportunity and responsibility to divert solid waste from landfills as much as possible. Without easy, organized recycling and composting, this is difficult for residents to do on their own. I'd really like to see Wheat Ridge address the following: -We need to better regulate the waste service providers in Wheat Ridge to make sure that they are: transparent about their rates, provide all services needed/wanted (including composting), and that they are collecting and sharing data regarding their ability and track record for diverting waste from landfills. -We need to look at our city as a whole and ensure that the waste service options are supporting our overall quality of life including safety and a clean environment, and that we (residents) are not bearing the brunt financially for a disorganized approach to waste management. Thank you for the time and consideration! April 4, 2022, 8:24 AM Laura McGarry 4050 Jay St. Wheat Ridge , 80033 I'm writing to express my concern with the way waste is currently managed in Wheat Ridge. I would like the City to consider doing something different. I have concerns regarding 1) the impact on my family and community's quality of life, 2) the costs and overall quality of services, and 3) overall environmental stewardship. Personally, I've found that current waste management practices have resulted in higher trash truck traffic volumes, which in turn, has led to numerous hindrances in the public right of way impacting safe pedestrian connections throughout the City. Additionally, it is my understanding that our neighboring communities who've made the effort to address this issue have benefited from both reduced costs and expanded services. Thank you for taking the time to consider this matter. April 4, 2022, 6:40 AM Mark De La Torre 4345 Brentwood St. Wheat Ridge, 80033 1. Appropriation of One Time Revenues – American Rescue Plan and Clear Creek Crossing Reimbursement Discussion of this item began at approximately 6:46 pm. Issue The City is receiving historic and transformative funding from the federal government to respond to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The City received $2.5 million in 2020, through Jefferson County, from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) and will receive $7.9 million in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in 2021 and 2022. CARES funding was designed to help respond to the immediate financial impacts of the pandemic while APRA was approved to address the more strategic and long-term needs of communities. The City is also experiencing an unprecedented level of residential and commercial development during this pandemic which is expected to continue for several years. Revenue associated with this development, such as building use tax and building permit fees, has increased substantially since 2019. The SCL Lutheran Hospital project alone is estimated to generate approximately $8 million in building use tax in 2021 and 2022. Finally, the City received $9.8 million from the Longs Peak Metropolitan District (LPMD) in December 2021 as a reimbursement for the funding the City contributed to the Clear Creek Crossing hook ramp project above and beyond the $10 million allocated from the 2E Bond. All these revenues are considered non-recuring as they are one-time revenues or gains that have arisen from infrequent events that are not expected to continue in the future. It is prudent for the City to take a strategic approach in allocating these funds to ensure they are leveraged appropriately. The following proposal will allow the City to shift formally from response to recovery and keep forward momentum for ensuring our entire community can be stronger in the long term from the negative effects of the pandemic. Staff Reports Patrick Goff led the discussion of the Cares Act, and American Rescue Plan act including topics on: • COVID Mitigation and Prevention • Food Insecurity and Assistance to Low-Income Populations • Behavioral Healthcare • Preventing and Responding to Violence • Lost Revenue • Water Infrastructure Councilmembers had questions and comments: Councilmembers asked detailed questions about several topics, engaging in discussion among themselves and with staff, who answered their questions in detail: • Detailed questions about which pot of money we can use for what purposes, and when, how long we can wait to spend the various funds vs. spending them as soon as feasible. • Is there an opportunity to ask whether specific trails near ponds and lakes can be planned and built to foster birdwatching by protecting avian habitat? • Can some of this money support water control, curbs, and sidewalks along W. 38th Ave when that project is designed, planned and funded? • We are very excited to have this opportunity to use these dollars for our residents’ benefit. • Can these funds be applied to resurfacing the Rec Center parking lot? (Funding for that project is already in this year’s budget.) • Are surrounding communities making similar efforts with regard to homelessness, mental health, and similar badly needed social services? • Can we take the $1.5 million from the Wadsworth Phase 2 and use it to provide curbs, sidewalks, and other badly needed improvements? We do need to extend the sidewalk along Wadsworth from 35th Ave to 38th Ave. • In general, people like loop trails. Perhaps we need to create a complete loop trail, that includes consideration of our residents’ desires and needs, around Taylor Lake. Will the City also look at drainage along with water quality in these habitats? • CM thanked the staff and our partners for their thorough and thoughtful proposed allocation of these funds. • Mental health is so important that it should be a line item in our budget. • When we reach a consensus, we need to ensure that sidewalks are included along Wadsworth from 38th to 45th. • The Family Liaisons, the Chamber and several other community groups met on March 15 to discuss elementary school Kindness Closets where families in need can get food, clothing, shoes and other necessities. Hopefully support for this project can get included in the budget. • Where are we with sharps containers in our parks? • We need to spend the budgeted money for the Wadsworth Project Phase 1 to make sure it gets completed expeditiously. • Can we build pickle ball courts at Anderson Park? CM Hoppe proposed a consensus to bring forward an action to Council to move forward with this proposed spending plan for the $7.9 million in ARPA funding and the $9.8 million Clear Creek Crossing reimbursement, to commit 8.8 million to Wadsworth and $1 million for sidewalks and curbs along Wadsworth between 35th and 38th Avenues. Consensus attained. 2. Residential Organized Waste Strategies Discussion of this item began at approximately 8:20 pm Issue To improve the Wheat Ridge Police Department’s response to emergent calls for service, the organization assigns sworn police officers to a newly formed Telephone Reporting Unit (TRU). The practice of using officers in this capacity has improved the department’s ability to respond to reports of criminal activity in the City of Wheat Ridge. Staff Reports Sustainability Coordinator Kayla Betzold spoke on the issue including prior action including a ballot measure on the topic that was defeated in 2010, along with other items to include: • Organized Waste Systems • City of Wheat Ridge Existing System • City of Wheat Ridge Waste Diversion Efforts • Resident Feedback • Alignment with Current City Planning Documents • Potential Organized Waste Strategies • Peer Agency Overview Councilmembers had questions and comments: CM thanked staff for their presentation and their excellent research and groundwork. Councilmembers asked detailed questions about several topics, including: • CM commented that it would cost about $100,000 to hire consultants, do the research, collect and summarize resident’s opinions before we get to a ballot issue. • We need to allow for residents’ options for haulers, not only because that is what our residents will want but also because state law mandates that we have a choice. • The key issue for CM Hultin is the greenhouse gasses emitted by our current refuse haulers. • We must begin with a good, robust community engagement process to know what our residents’ will support and buy-into. • One concern is that we do not want Sustainable Wheat Ridge to become the trash hauler group. We need to move forward with an opt-in process for our residents. We need to guard against the Sustainability Coordinator’s position being solely devoted to trash. • In Applewood and Paramount Heights, neighborhood sustainability groups have provided a single hauler program that residents can opt-in and it’s working. • If we get to a ballot issue, we must be clear what the ballot issue states so that people know exactly on what they are asked to vote. • We need to have either several options for our residents to choose, or, if we go with a single-hauler plan, then we need to put that before the voters, not Council. • We need to know what our residents want and will support before we take any action. • In Arvada when the residents must pay an opt-out fee, where does that money go? We need to be very clear with our residents what we are asking them to approve and where all the money will go. What restrictions will residents face with trash that does not fit into a can or bag? What about large items, like old appliances? • We need to hesitate to describe what we are planning to offer, so that we do not get ahead of the questions our residents will want answered. • How much staff time would be involved in first, collecting the necessary resident in-put, and then designing a program based on those needs and desires? We need to make this consultant-based in order to allow the sustainability coordinator to continue to pursue other programs. • How often do trash haul contracts get renewed? (Staff answered usually once every 5 years is the common practice among Colorado municipalities.) • We should offer this service to multi-family residential locations because they do not currently get recycling services and the dumpsters inevitably attract vermin. • What will this program do for businesses and facilities like the hospital? CM Hultin proposed a consensus to bring forward an action to Council to move forward with a strategy to begin this process. Consensus attained. 3. Staff Report(s) Discussion began at 9:15 pm, Mr. Goff commented on the work that began on the 32nd avenue bridge tonight. 4. Elected Officials’ Report(s) CM Hultin and Ohm will host a district meeting at Randall Park on April 15th. More details will appear on the City website soon. She proposed that during April, the month of Earth Day, no Councilmember should bring disposable plastic water bottles to meetings. CM Ohm thanked the members of the committees who gave reports tonight. Their presentations reflect hard work and critical thinking. CM Hutchinson was contacted regarding the traffic situation, and she gave a link to the City’s update on the Wadsworth Project and that link is broken. She saw two residents today who were having trouble navigating along 38th Ave in their electric carts. The construction at that location has gone on for two years and it’s just too dangerous for people to ride scooters in traffic! CM Nosler Beck reported on the March 15 meeting she mentioned earlier and wondered if we can support the effort financially. The Mayor thanked everyone for a productive meeting, and encouraged us to drive, cycle and walk carefully to protect one another. ADJOURNMENT The Study Session adjourned at 9:22 PM. APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL ON April 11, 2022. Steve Kirkpatrick, City Clerk Rachel Hultin, Mayor Pro Tem Attachment 1 submitted in WR Speaks for this session: Re: Leveraging additional general fund dollars for priority bicycle and pedestrian safety projects March, 23rd, 2022 To: Wheat Ridge Mayor, City Council, and City Manager, We are writing on behalf of the Wheat Ridge Active Transportation Advisory Team (ATAT), an Outside Agency supported by volunteers that has advised the city on improving active transportation options since 2013. The ATAT envisions a physically and economically vibrant community where people of all ages and abilities can maintain safe, healthy and connected lives through easy and equitable access to active transportation options. The ATAT focuses on outreach and education, advocacy, and connecting community members through walking and biking, and since its founding has provided community input on City projects affecting bicycle/pedestrian safety such as the Pierce Street bike lanes. We would like to offer our comments on the $10 million in unbudgeted general funds we understand are available to the city. We believe the top priority for these funds ought to be completing a safe biking and walking connection along the Wadsworth corridor by extending a side path at least to 32nd and Wadsworth. We regularly see pedestrians struggling to navigate the stretch between 35th and 32nd along the side of the road, and the worn trails or footprints in the snow are evidence of the need for this connection. Given the magnitude of the existing Wadsworth project, and the potential impact it will have for improving safe active transportation in the corridor, not filling in this gap would be a major missed opportunity to connect more neighborhoods to this central corridor of the city. This connection is included in the Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan Update as a side path and would help provide connections from neighborhoods north of 35th and Wadsworth to City Hall, Crown Hill Park, the Lutheran Campus and other important destinations, and for neighborhoods south of 32nd to connect with businesses along Wadsworth, 38th, and more. We also hope the city will fully explore the various options for leveraging this funding as match for regional and state funding opportunities to help our city dollars go further. In doing so, we would recommend working to address other top priority bicycle and/or pedestrian uncompleted projects in the Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan Update. Thank you for your consideration, and for your work to improve the safety and access for people walking and biking in this city.

CONSENT AGENDA Discussion began at approximately 7:20 p.m. CM Nosler Beck introduced the consent agenda. a. Resolution No. 18-2022, a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2022 General Fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $100,000 for the addition of two full-time employees for police tele-serve positions Issue The police department has experienced increased calls for service, which has reduced the amount of unallocated time that patrol officers typically use to apply directed patrol and community policing activities. To address this concern, the police department recommends adding two (2) non-sworn tele-serve positions. The tele-serve positions will provide a convenient option for members of the community to report non-emergency calls by telephone, thereby freeing up patrol officers for better public engagement, allowing officers to increase proactive patrol and engage in Relationship-Based Policing strategies. b. Resolution No. 20-2022 - A resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2022 General Fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $71,859 for the addition of one full-time, time-limited employee for Housing Navigation services Issue Demand for the City’s Homeless Navigation Program’s services has continued to steadily rise since it began in December 2020. As this program grows, additional staff support is needed. This full-time Housing Navigator position will partner with the existing Homeless Navigator to connect the City’s unhoused population to resources and housing through 2026. Motion by CM Nosler Beck to approve Consent Agenda Items a.), and b.), Seconded by CM Stites, motion carried 8-0.

ORDINANCES ON FIRST READING None Tonight City Council Minutes April 11, 2022 page 5 DECISIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND MOTIONS None Tonight CITY MANAGER’S MATTERS Mr. Goff updated Council on progress building bridges across I-70, and the Wadsworth Redevelopment Project, both of which are progressing on time and smoothly. Lane closures and lane shifting will begin later this year. The timeline calls for completion of the first phase of the Wadsworth project in mid-2023. Allison Scheck asked for Council’s consent to add another full-time HR Business Partner to staff to meet the burgeoning need for professional HR services. Several factors have created this increasing workload, including the “Great Resignation,” a job market with too few qualified people and required maintenance of various records. CM Hoppe asked for a consensus to direct staff to bring to a future Council meeting an action to amend the budget to hire a new HR Business Partner. CITY ATTORNEY’S MATTERS Nothing tonight. ELECTED OFFICIALS’ MATTERS CM Hutchinson wished all a happy Easter. CM Stites thanked Sustainable Wheat Ridge for the event last Saturday.

CM Weaver announced that there will be a Renewable Wheat Ridge session this Saturday April 16th. She also promoted the tree sales scheduled for this Saturday, April 16th and Saturday, April 29th. She also mentioned the current epidemic of bird flu that is devastating avian populations and asks that we report any cases we see to the state Department of Agriculture, so experts can track the current epidemic. CM Hoppe has noticed a cyclic migration of people experiencing homelessness as they are moved from one location and re-gather in another. She asked for a consensus to direct staff to bring to a future Study Session suggested solutions to ameliorate this pattern. Consensus attained.

City Council Minutes April 11, 2022 page 6 CM Ohm encouraged all residents to stay vigilant to protect one another and report untoward events and crimes they observe. A recent situation in D II that could have been tragic was prevented when one neighbor looked out for another. CM Dozeman wishes everyone a happy Easter. Her sons really love the Easter Egg Hunt. Mayor Starker thanked those who attended Coffee with the Mayor last Saturday. He reminded all of us to be careful of our children as we drive as they will be outdoors and on our streets as the daylight lasts longer.

Bid Alternate 1 is for Miller Street north of the I-70 Frontage Road. Bid Alternate 2 is for pre-determined residential streets bounded by 35th Avenue to 38th Avenue and Johnson Street to Garrison Street. Bids were opened on March 24, 2022 and two (2) were received. Staff recommends the lowest responsive bidder, A-1 Chip Seal Company of Denver, Colorado be awarded the contract for the Base Bid amount of $223,212.76 and Bid Alternates 1 and 2 in the amount of $46,179.89 for a total bid amount of $269,392.65, plus a contingency of $13,469.00. PRIOR ACTION: None Council Action – 2022 Slurry Seal April 25, 2022 Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding for this project has been approved in the 2022 Capital Improvement Program budget line item 30-303-800-884. BACKGROUND: Formal bids for the 2022 slurry seal project were opened on March 24, 2022, at a public bid opening. The two bids received met the initial bid requirements.

PRIOR ACTION: During the April 4, 2022 Study Session, City Council provided consensus to move forward with funding for Fiscal Year 2022 as follows: 1. Metro Denver Homeless Initiative Flex Fund - $15,000 2. Victims Services – Porchlight Family Justice Center - $20,000 3. Community Table - $36,500 Council Action Form – ARPA Outreach Funds Budget Supplemental April 25, 2022 Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT: As discussed on April 4, 2022, the City will receive a total of $7,873,279.72 in funds from ARPA to address the impacts of the pandemic. The City received the first 50% of its allocation in June 2021 and will receive the remaining $3.9 million in June 2022. The purpose of the funding is to: • Fight the pandemic and support families and businesses struggling with its public health and economic impacts, • Maintain vital public services, even amid declines in revenue, and • Build a strong, resilient, and equitable recovery by making investments that support long-term growth and opportunity. U.S. Treasury Department guidance will allow the City to accept its full allocation as a contribution towards “lost revenue,” which enables the City to appropriate the funding for general government services. This funding therefore increases the General Fund unrestricted fund balance meaning there is no negative financial impact when Council appropriates these funds for uses as directed at the April 4, 2022 Study Session. BACKGROUND: At the April 4, 2022 Study Session, Council provided direction to move forward with a number of programs and initiatives to support the community’s recovery from the pandemic. Staff informed Council that budget supplemental requests would be presented as necessary to fulfill the plan as presented. This budget supplemental request funds the following programs as discussed with Council: 1. Metro Denver Homeless Initiative Flex Fund - $15,000 In partnership with the Metro Mayors Caucus, this fund provides flexible, one-time assistance to help people experiencing homelessness. Assistance includes rent, security and utility payments and move-in costs. The need for this funding is greater than ever and this one-time contribution will satisfy a special funding request made by the Metro Mayors Caucus to help stabilize this fund. 2. PorchLight Family Justice Center - $20,000 The City partners with several agencies that serve victims of crime including Porchlight Family Justice Center, Victims Outreach Incorporated, Jefferson Center and Ralston House. As staff anticipates the need for increased services in this area, $100,000 was included in the spending proposal to support this need. In 2022, staff recommends allocating $20,000 to PorchLight Family Justice Center. PorchLight Family Justice Center provides comprehensive legal, emotional and critical supportive services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, abuse of at-risk individuals, elder abuse, and human trafficking. The center is centrally located in Jefferson County, Colorado. The FJC is a safe, caring environment that provides one-stop services and support. Council Action Form – ARPA Outreach Funds Budget Supplemental April 25, 2022 Page 3 3. Community Table - $36,500 This request funds the Community Table Client Services program, specifically for Wheat Ridge residents. Funding will assist Wheat Ridge households with: • Financial Assistance (rent, deposits, utilities, etc.) • Transportation Assistance (bus passes, gas cards, etc.) • Food Assistance RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of this budget supplemental request. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution No. 22-2022, a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2022 General Fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $71,500 for Metro Denver Homeless Initiative Flex Fund, PorchLight Family Justice Center and Community Table.” Or, “I move to postpone indefinitely Resolution No. 22-2022, a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2022 General Fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $71,500 for Metro Denver Homeless Initiative Flex Fund, PorchLight Family Justice Center and Community Table for the following reason(s)_____________________________.” REPORT PREPARED AND REVIEWED BY: Allison Scheck, Administrative Services Director Patrick Goff, City Manager ATTACHMENTS: 1.

A transfer of $20,000 is approved from the General Fund undesignated reserves to account 01-201-700-750 DONE AND RESOLVED this 25th day of April 2022. Bud Starker, Mayor ATTEST: Steve Kirkpatrick, City Clerk ATTACHMENT 1 ITEM NO: 1d DATE: April 25, 2022 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 24-2022 – A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO REFLECT THE APPROVAL OF A SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,500 FOR THE ADDITION OF ONE FULL-TIME HUMAN RESOURCES BUSINESS PARTNER PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO _______________________________ ______________________________ Administrative Services Director City Manager ISSUE: Due to the level of recruiting, policy work and employee needs, work for the City’s Human Resources division has increased to an unsustainable level. The addition of a full-time Human Resources Business Partner is necessary to help meet the organization’s needs and retain current staff. PRIOR ACTION: During the April 11, 2022 City Council Meeting, City Council provided consensus to move forward with one full-time Human Resources Business Partner. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The position has been classified by the Human Resources Manager as exempt grade 200 in the City’s 2022 pay plan. The position’s pay range is $47,476 to $76,824. Assuming a starting rate close to the middle of the grade and inclusive of FICA, Medicare, pension, and benefits, the cost Council Action Form – HR Business Partner Budget Supplemental April 25, 2022 Page 2 for a full year is estimated at $78,150. For 2022, and inclusive of technology needs, the addition of this position in total will require a supplemental budget appropriation of $50,500. The City has sufficient funds in General Fund undesignated reserves to cover this expense. BACKGROUND: There are four main reasons to explain the increased workload for the current four-person Human Resources (HR) team: 1. The “Great Resignation” is having an effect on all industries and sectors. Just like our peers, Wheat Ridge is experiencing higher turnover than ever in an extremely aggressive and competitive hiring market. The estimated turnover rate will be between 16 and 20 percent this year. In 2019, the HR team completed 49 hires. In the first three months of 2022, the HR team has already completed 22 standard hires. 2. In order to fill critical job functions, job market conditions require a more aggressive approach to hiring with far reaching postings and more aggressive strategies. This requires more time from the HR team. 3. The City usually completes a compensation analysis every two years and it was last completed in 2021. Employment market conditions require that the City complete a compensation analysis this year. Additionally, to remain competitive, the City will undertake a benefits review this year in preparation for the 2023 budget. These tasks require considerable HR staff time. 4. There are several policy issues to be addressed this year, including Colorado’s paid family leave program resulting in higher and sustained workload. The current HR division staffing includes an HR Manager, two Senior HR Business Partners and an HR technician. In analyzing existing workloads, there is not sufficient capacity to handle the current needs of the organization. By reprioritizing existing funding, the team has added the help of a temporary worker who provides a few hours of support per week in recruiting and policy work. If approved, this role will be expanded to full-time. In looking at typical staffing levels, Wheat Ridge is understaffed. Average HR staffing for an organization of Wheat Ridge’s size is approximately 3.4 HR staff to 100 employees. Wheat Ridge is currently 1.58. In looking at surrounding municipalities with a similar FTE count, who also appear to be understaffed, Wheat Ridge is further understaffed. These cities have HR staffing that are closer to or above 2 HR staff to 100 employees. Adding an addition employee will bring our HR staffing level to 1.97 per 100 employees. This HR Business Partner will focus heavily on recruiting and policy work, allowing the team to focus on the needs of the organization including a compensation study, benefits review, anti-harassment training, implicit bias training, handling employee relations issues and several other priorities. Council Action Form – HR Business Partner Budget Supplemental April 25, 2022 Page 3 RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the supplemental budget request and additional FTE request. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution No. 24-2022, a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2022 General Fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $50,500 for the addition of one full-time Human Resources Business Partner.” Or, “I move to postpone indefinitely Resolution No. 24-2022, a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2022 General Fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $50,500 for the addition of one full-time Human Resources Business Partner for the following reason(s)______________________________________.” REPORT PREPARED AND REVIEWED BY: Michael Clasen, Human Resources Manager Allison Scheck, Administrative Services Director Patrick Goff, City Manager ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Bud Starker, Mayor ATTEST: Steve Kirkpatrick, City Clerk ATTACHMENT 1 ITEM NO: 1e DATE: April 25, 2022 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION TITLE: MOTION AWARDING A CONTRACT AND APPROVING SUBSEQUENT PAYMENT OF $101,778.30 TO OFFICESCAPES FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF OFFICE FURNITURE FOR THE 7490 W 45TH AVENUE BUILDING LEASE PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO ______________ _____________________________ Director of Parks & Recreation City Manager ISSUE: The City is in the process of finalizing a lease for a building located at 7490 W 45th Avenue in Wheat Ridge for additional office space. The lease of the building does not include furniture; therefore, furniture must be purchased to furnish the office space and lobby. PRIOR ACTION: Consensus was reached at a previous Council meeting on March 7, 2022 to move forward with the lease. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to purchase furniture for 13 private offices, four shared offices, one administrative workstation, three conference rooms, an open collaborative space, and reception/lobby is $83,423.30. Design costs for the furniture layout are $3,255.00. Labor to install the furniture upon delivery is $15,100. This brings the total cost of furniture, design, and installation labor to $101,778.30. There is adequate funding appropriated in the 2022 budget for this expense. BACKGROUND: The City’s owned facilities have reached capacity for housing employees, making it difficult to keep up with the growth of the workforce and dynamics of the evolving workspace. Finding Council Action Form – Contract and Payment for Office Furniture April 25, 2022 Page 2 space for new employees, within and adjacent to the teams they work with has become arduous. Leasing a facility will help alleviate the pressure of finding space internally in the short term, while long term solutions are developed. In order to sufficiently serve the employees being relocated to the leased facility, the building must be furnished to serve as a functional office space. This includes furniture for private/traditional offices, shared offices, conference rooms and collaborative spaces, and the reception area. To meet this need, the City solicited competitive bids requesting any one of three brands of systems furniture: Haworth, Steelcase, or Herman Miller. The selected vendor, OfficeScapes, submitted a bid for Steelcase which met the criteria. The City received one other bid, which did not propose to use furniture of similar quality and style as that proposed by OfficeScapes. Additionally, the City has recently utilized furniture from OfficeScapes as part of the 2020-21 City Hall renovation. Continued use of the same furniture will allow for an eventual standard of furniture within the City, creating a seamless office environment. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the purchase and installation of the office furniture for the 7490 W 45th Avenue building lease. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to award a contract and approve subsequent payment of $101,778.30 to OfficeScapes for the purchase and installation of office furniture for the 7490 W 45th Avenue building lease.” Or, “I move to not award a contract and approve subsequent payment of $101,778.30 to OfficeScapes for the purchase and installation of office furniture for the 7490 W 45th Avenue building lease for the following reason(s) __________________.” REPORT PREPARED/REVIEWED BY: Kion Gibbs, Manager of Facility Operations Karen A.

DATE: April 25, 2022 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION TITLE: MOTION TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF TANDEM EQUIPMENT UPFIT FROM HOLMAN UPFITTING TRUCK SERVICES OF COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO IN A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $158,374 PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO _______________________________ ______________________________ Public Works Director City Manager ISSUE: The Public Works Department is proposing purchase of various snow and ice control equipment, dump body, lighting, hydraulics, and options to be installed on the new tandem cab and chassis approved by the City Council in January of this year. The total expense of the various equipment, lighting, hydraulics, and options is not to exceed $158,374. . PRIOR ACTION: Purchase of a new plow truck cab and chassis was approved by City Council on January 24, 2022. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The funds for the purchase of this vehicle are budgeted in the 2022 Public Works Department General Fund budget, account number 01-303-800-807, Fleet Replacement. The total approved budgeted amount for this account is $925,409. BACKGROUND: After contacting the available tandem snow and ice control equipment upfit dealers located in the Denver area, it was determined the City would best be served by using Sourcewell, formerly the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), a cooperative service which performs national research Council Action Form – Tandem Equipment Upfit April 25, 2022 Page 2 to obtain the best prices. The City of Wheat Ridge has an account with Sourcewell which has completed the necessary research work to find snow and ice control equipment that best suits the City’s needs. Sourcewell satisfies the bid process requirements and is endorsed by the State of Colorado’s purchasing office. By Sourcewell contract #080818-HPI, the appropriate equipment, lighting, hydraulics, and options to upfit the new International tandem cab and chassis, can be provided by Holman Upfitting Truck Services, formerly dba Auto Truck Group, an authorized dealer located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The existing, obsolete equipment will be taken to auction. RECOMMENDATIONS: The vendor source and purchase price of equipment is through the Sourcewell purchasing contract, endorsed by the State of Colorado purchasing and allows the City to attain the equipment at the best price and in accordance with bid/purchasing requirements. Staff recommends the purchase of the necessary equipment, lighting and hydraulics to properly upfit the new International tandem cab and chassis. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve the purchase of the tandem equipment upfit from Holman Upfitting Truck Services of Colorado Springs, Colorado in a total amount not to exceed $158,374.” Or, “I move to deny the approval of the purchase of the tandem equipment upfit from Holman Upfitting Truck Services of Colorado Springs, Colorado in a total amount not to exceed $158,374 for the following reason(s): ______________________________” REPORT PREPARED/REVIEWED BY: Greg Knudson, Director of Public Works Whitney Mugford-Smith, Procurement Manager Patrick Goff, City Manager ATTACHMENTS: 1. Holman Quote #140774 by Sourcewell Contract #080818-HPI ATTACHMENT 1 ITEM NO: 2 DATE: April 25, 2022 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION TITLE: COUNCIL BILL NO. 02-2022 – AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7585 W. 32ND AVENUE FROM RESTRICTED-COMMERCIAL (R-C) TO PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT (PRD) (CASE NO. WZ-20-06) PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING (3/28/2022) BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (4/25/2022) RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO _____________________________ Community Development Director City Manager ISSUE: The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Restricted-Commercial (R-C) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) with approval of an Outline Development Plan (ODP) for the development of fourteen single-family attached homes at 7585 W. 32nd Avenue. The zone change is compatible with surrounding land uses, provides for housing options, and encourages improvement of the underutilized property. PRIOR ACTION: Planning Commission reviewed this request at a public hearing held on March 17, 2022 and recommended approval by a vote of 5 to 2. The staff report with the proposed ODP and a copy of the Planning Commission minutes are attached for reference. City Council approved this ordinance on first reading on March 28, 2022. A motion was made by Councilmember Hutchinson and seconded by Councilmember Stites and was approved by a vote of 7-0. Council Action Form – Proposed Rezoning at 7585 W. 32nd Avenue April 25, 2022 Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed ordinance is not expected to have a direct financial impact on the City. Fees in the amount of $1,116.13 were collected for the review and processing of Case No. WZ-20-06. If the rezoning is approved, fees will be collected for review and processing of the future Specific Development Plan (SDP) and the City may benefit from various fees collected depending on the future permitted use, such as building permit fees or use tax. BACKGROUND: The property is located on the north side of W. 32nd Avenue, one lot east of Wadsworth Boulevard. W. 32nd Avenue is a minor arterial that runs east-west through the city; while Wadsworth Boulevard is a major arterial that runs north-south. At last count (in 2018) there were about 6,700 trips per day on 32nd Avenue in the location of the subject property. The lot area measures approximately 31,736 square feet (0.73 acres) in size and is unplatted. In 2005, a building permit application was submitted to develop the southern half of this parcel as a parking lot to be used for the neighboring property at 3280 Wadsworth Blvd. Prior to the parking lot development, the parcel was undeveloped with just a utility shed on site. The parking lot is currently unused and no longer has any association with 3280 Wadsworth Blvd. This property falls in the Contemporary Overlay District of the Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM). The property is zoned Restricted Commercial (R-C) and has been zoned this way since the City’s incorporation. Properties to the north, east, and south contain low density residential uses and are zoned Residential-One (R-1), Residential-Two (R-2), and Residential-One A (R-1A). Properties to the west are zoned Planned Commercial Development (PCD), R-C, Neighborhood Commercial (N-C), and Residential-Three (R-3) and contain retail, office, and multifamily uses. Crown Hill Cemetery is located further to the southwest. Current Zoning The current zone district, R-C, was established to accommodate various types of office uses performing administrative, professional and personal services, and to provide for a limited range of retail uses which are neighborhood oriented. Since the site has never been developed, it is assumed that current zoning does not align with market realities. Proposed Zoning The applicant is requesting the property be rezoned to PRD, a zone district created to further promote the public health, safety and general welfare by permitting greater flexibility and innovation in land development based upon a comprehensive, integrated plan. Planned Residential Development (PRD) was determined to be the most suitable zoning option based on the proposed development scenario and the context of the area. The customized zoning includes larger rear setbacks, reduced building heights (compared to current zoning), bulk plane, higher quality of architecture, and open space standards to help reduce impacts of the development and promote compatibility. Council Action Form – Proposed Rezoning at 7585 W. 32nd Avenue April 25, 2022 Page 3 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. Per City Code, the City Council shall use the criteria in Sec. 26-303.D of the code to evaluate the applicant’s request for a zone change with an outline development plan. A detailed Planning Division staff report is enclosed with this criteria analysis, as well as additional information on the existing conditions and zone districts. Staff is ultimately recommending approval of the request. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Council Bill No. 02-2022, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at 7585 W. 32nd Avenue from Restricted-Commercial (R-C) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) on second reading, and that it takes effect 15 days after final publication, for the following reasons: 1. The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the rezoning after conducting a proper public hearing. 2. The proposed rezoning has been reviewed by the Community Development Department which has forwarded its recommendation of approval. 3. The proposed rezoning has been found to comply with the criteria for review in Section 26-303.D of the Code of Laws.” Or, “I move to deny approval of Council Bill No. 02-2022, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at 7585 W. 32nd Avenue from Restricted-Commercial (R-C) to Planned Residential Development (PRD), for the following reasons: ___________________________ and direct the City Attorney to prepare a Resolution of Denial, to be scheduled for Council consideration at the next available regular business meeting.” REPORT PREPARED/REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Stevens, Senior Planner Lauren Mikulak, Planning Manager Kenneth Johnstone, Community Development Director Patrick Goff, City Manager ATTACHMENTS: 1.

I. REQUEST Case No. WZ-20-06 is an application for approval of a zone change with an Outline Development Plan (ODP) for property located at 7585 W. 32nd Avenue. The purpose of the request is to change the zoning from Restricted-Commercial (R-C) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) to allow for new residential development on the property comprised of 14 single-family attached units. Rezone options for the property include mixed-use zone districts or a Planned Development zone district. Because the site is less than one acre in size, straight residential districts are also available. In this case, Planned Residential Development (PRD) was determined to be the most suitable of these options based on the proposed development scenario and the context of the area. Rezoning to a planned development in the City of Wheat Ridge entails approval of two documents. The first is the Outline Development Plan (ODP). The approval of the ODP changes the zoning designation on the land, establishes allowed uses and development standards for the property, and establishes access configurations for vehicles and pedestrians. The second document is the Specific Development Plan (SDP), which focuses on specific details of a development such as site design, architecture, landscaping, and drainage design. The SDP must be found to be compliant with the ODP in order to be approved. Section 26-302 of the Municipal Code allows for concurrent or sequential applications for the ODP and SDP. In this case, the applicant is requesting sequential review of the ODP and SDP. The ODP document requires public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council, with the City Council being the final deciding body. If the ODP is approved, the applicant can apply for SDP approval. The SDP application will be heard at Planning Commission, who is the final deciding body for SDP approval. II. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY The property is located on the north side of W. 32nd Avenue, one lot east of Wadsworth Boulevard (Exhibit 1, Aerial). W. 32nd Avenue is a minor arterial that runs east-west through the city; while Wadsworth Boulevard is a major arterial that runs north-south. At last count (in 2018) there were about 6,700 trips per day on 32nd Avenue in the location of the subject property. The lot area measures approximately 31,736 square feet (0.73 acres) in size and is unplatted. In 2005, a building permit application was submitted to develop the southern half of this parcel as a parking lot to be used for the neighboring property at 3280 Wadsworth Blvd. Prior to the parking lot development, the parcel was undeveloped with just a utility shed on site. The parcel was also readdressed to 7585 W. 32nd Avenue from 7500 W. 32nd Avenue in 2014. The parking lot is currently unused and no longer has any association with 3280 Wadsworth Blvd. This property falls in the Contemporary Overlay District of the Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM). Planning Commission 3 Case No. WZ-20-06 / Wheat Ridge Multi-14 PRD The property is zoned Restricted Commercial (R-C) and has been zoned this way since the City’s incorporation. Properties to the north, east, and south contain low density residential uses and are zoned Residential-One (R-1), Residential-Two (R-2), and Residential-One A (R-1A). Properties to the west are zoned Planned Commercial Development (PCD), R-C, Neighborhood Commercial (N-C), and Residential-Three (R-3) and contain retail, office, and multifamily uses. Crown Hill Park is located further to the southwest. See Exhibit 2, Zoning Map. III. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN Attached is a copy of the proposed Outline Development Plan for the site, which contains two sheets (Exhibit 3, Outline Development Plan). The first page is a cover sheet with certification and signature blocks for the property owners, Planning Commission, City Council, and the Mayor. There is also a character of development statement, list of permitted uses, development standards and other standard notes. The second page includes the conceptual layout of the property, including access, open space, and development areas. As noted above the ODP is a property-specific zoning document that establishes the underlying development standards. These are described below, would run with the land if approved, and cannot be changed without going through a subsequent zone change process. Allowable Uses Uses permitted per the ODP are attached or detached single-family homes and accessory uses (home occupations and household pets). Detached accessory structures such as sheds are not permitted. Site Configuration The ODP depicts a 14-unit project including duplex and single-family attached townhomes. The conceptual plan shows two duplexes fronting 32nd Avenue and two 5-plex townhome buildings tucked behind the duplexes and oriented perpendicular to 32nd Avenue. One central access point is proposed along 32nd Avenue and continues north to serve all units, with a hammer head turnaround located behind the two duplexes that front along 32nd Avenue. Garages face internal to the private drive which bisects the site. In the graphic, building footprints are shown in crosshatching, and triangles denote parking spaces. Two parking spaces per unit are provided in tuck-under garages, in addition to three visitor parking spaces and bike parking located on site. A sidewalk is included around the perimeter of the site for pedestrian access. The site is also bordered with a landscape buffer and private front yards with increased setbacks for the northern 5-plexes to provide separation from adjacent uses, with shared open space proposed along the perimeter and rear of the property. In the graphic, landscape buffers and private yards are depicted by the darker gray fill. Development Standards Development standards are outlined on Page 1 of the ODP and illustrated on Page 2 in sketch plan form. The development standards are proposed to largely align with Residential-Three (R-3) zoning. Planning Commission 4 Case No. WZ-20-06 / Wheat Ridge Multi-14 PRD Setbacks and Form – The following setbacks are proposed on Page 1 of the ODP: Proposed Front setback (32nd Avenue) 15 feet Front side yard setback (west and east, south side) 15 feet Rear side yard setback (west and east, north side) 20 feet Rear setback (north) 15 feet Front yard setbacks encroachments are proposed to be allowed at a maximum of 5 feet for porches, balconies, and overhangs in comparison to standard code allowance of 8 feet thereby increasing the perceivable setback an additional 3 feet. The proposed setbacks prioritize buffering the rear 5-plex units from existing residential properties to the east and commercial to the west. The 32nd Avenue setback preserves front yards and a residential character similar to the adjacent R-2 districts. With the above setback requirements, the buildable portion for each lot is shown on Page 2 of the ODP. In the graphic, minimum setbacks are depicted by the dashed black line. The setbacks will result in large front yards for the 5-plex townhome units in the rear, true front yards for the duplexes along W. 32nd Avenue, and a large protected side setback along the east and west property lines. Bulk plane will also apply to all structures with the intent to reduce massing (it typically only applies to single family detached homes in R-3 and R-1C). Fencing is limited in height for the rear front yards to enhance the buffers and setbacks to adjacent land uses. Density and Unit Type – The proposed density is 20 units per acre (14 units within a net lot size of 0.70 acres).This is more than R-3 zoning would allow at 12 units per acre, but less than the maximum for Planned Developments, which is 21 units per acre. Given the frontage on W. 32nd Avenue (minor arterial) and proximity to Wadsworth Boulevard (major arterial), it is appropriate for the density to serve as a transition between the busy roadways and the R-2 neighborhood to the north and east. The proposed duplexes and single-family attached townhomes are an appropriate land use situated between existing single-family homes to the north, south, and east, and commercially zoned property directly to the west (Exhibit 2, Zoning). If this ODP is approved, an SDP with more than 14 units could not be approved on this site. This ODP will limit this site to a maximum of 14 units, even if the property owner changes in the future. Any increase in density or unit count would require a new rezoning application and review. Parking – The ODP states that all units shall have two standard spaces per unit and a minimum of three visitor spaces, with an overall total minimum of 31 parking spaces required. This is same as the R-3 standards which requires 2 spaces per 2 or 3 bedroom unit plus 1 additional space per each 10 spaces for visitor parking. Building Height – Maximum building height is limited to 35 feet consistent with all of the City’s residential zone districts. In addition and as noted above, bulk plane standards shall also apply. The existing R-C zoning would allow a commercial building up to 50 feet in height. Architecture – The ODP proposes enhanced facades along 32nd Avenue and follows typical standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual and defers to current mixed use codes as Planning Commission 5 Case No. WZ-20-06 / Wheat Ridge Multi-14 PRD applicable to townhome design, including façade design and articulation and materials. In comparison, R-3 does not have architectural standards. Open space & Building Coverage – All landscaping shall conform to Section 26-502 of the Municipal Code. Minimum landscaping is proposed at 30% of the total site and maximum building coverage is 40% which both match R-3 standards. An additional requirement of the PRD requires that 25% of the minimum landscape area be dedicated to private open space. Code Compliance – In all other areas, the project is proposed to comply with the zoning code including lighting, fencing, signage, and streetscape design. Utilities The site can be served by all utility providers. The overhead utility lines along 32nd Avenue require undergrounding and coordination with Xcel Energy. Drainage On-site detention will be required to capture runoff from new impervious surfaces and to capture any historical runoff flows. An area for detention is being shown at the southeast corner of the site, where above-ground detention exists today. A full drainage report and final design will be required at the time of SDP application. Traffic Traffic from the proposed development is not anticipated to have an impact on traffic in the neighborhood. Traffic generation will be lower than what would be allowed to be developed under the existing R-C zoning and will be further evaluated at SDP review. IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in Section 26-303.D. The applicant also provided a response to the criteria (Exhibit 5, Applicant Letter). The Planning Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the following criteria have been met: 1. The change of zone promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community and will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area. The proposed development is compatible in terms of land use and intensity of surrounding land uses, and the investment contributes to a variety of housing types in the area. The zoning and new housing stock will likely add value to the area. The site serves as a transition between commercial properties, higher volume roadways, and a residential neighborhood. The large rear setbacks, reduced building heights (compared to current zoning), bulk plane, higher quality of architecture, and open space will help reduce impacts of the development and promote compatibility. The proposed zoning complies with safety and access requirements of the fire district and Engineering Division standards. The project will not result in significant adverse effects on the surrounding area. The proposed zoning is arguably a downzone in providing a more compatible land use for the area than alternatives allowed under the current R-C zoning; in R-C development could be more intensive and up to 50 feet in height. Planning Commission 6 Case No. WZ-20-06 / Wheat Ridge Multi-14 PRD The proposed zoning provides a transition from the commercial uses to the west to single-family uses to the east and north. Denser development is typically located along arterials to serve as a transitional land use. The positioning of duplex homes along 32nd Avenue with 5-plex single- family attached townhomes tucked behind will allow for a street presence that is compatible with development to the east, and the increased setbacks along the rear help transition between proposed and adjacent uses. The site has been vacant for decades with very little interest from commercial users. The current zoning does not align with market realities. The proposed zoning and subsequent investment are an appropriate use and are not anticipated to have an adverse effect. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. 2. The development proposed on the subject property is not feasible under any other zone district, and would require an unreasonable number of variances or waivers and conditions. The applicant desires a mix of duplexes and single-family attached townhomes to be more compatible with the surrounding uses, which would not be possible under the current R-C zoning. Based on the number of proposed units, mix of housing types, and customized development standards, the development is not feasible under any other zone district. Given the proposed use, access and drainage requirements, and the surrounding conditions, the PRD zoning is the most appropriate zone change option. It also allows the applicant to commit to reduced building height through bulk plane and enhanced architecture and landscaping not otherwise required in straight residential zone districts. A similar development could be achieved within a mixed use district, such as Mixed Use- Neighborhood (MU-N) but such a rezone was not recommended given the wider range of commercial uses that would be permitted. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. 3. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the types of uses allowed by the change of zone, or the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity. All of the service providers and utility districts have indicated that they have no concerns with the proposal and have indicated they can serve the property with improvements installed at the developer’s expense. The development of the site will require upgrades to the 32nd Avenue streetscape. Exact requirements will be imposed at time of the SDP and subdivision plat review. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. 4. The Planning Commission shall also find that at least one (1) of the following conditions exists: a. The change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies, and other related policies or plans for the area. Planning Commission 7 Case No. WZ-20-06 / Wheat Ridge Multi-14 PRD Envision Wheat Ridge, the City’s 2009 comprehensive plan, is organized around six key values, one of which is to “promote vibrant neighborhoods and an array of housing options.” This area of Wheat Ridge on the east side of Wadsworth is generally lacking in housing diversity. The proposed mix of duplexes and single-family attached townhomes on this site introduces an attainable option that reflects this key value of the comprehensive plan. Within Envision Wheat Ridge, the Structure Plan map provides high-level guidance for achieving the City’s vision by designating development priorities and future land areas (Exhibit 4, Comprehensive Plan). This site is categorized along the “Wadsworth Primary Commercial Corridor” within the “Neighborhood Buffer” area and “Neighborhood” designations. Wadsworth Boulevard is the major north-south route through Wheat Ridge, connecting the city to its neighbors (Arvada and Lakewood). It is also the City’s principal commercial corridor and a key target area for redevelopment. Per the Comprehensive Plan, the Wadsworth Primary Commercial Corridor is appropriate for higher intensities and mix of uses, including multi- family uses and calls for transition in height from the corridor to residential areas. This property is also in the Neighborhood Buffer which is intended to function as a buffer between low intensity residential areas and higher commercial corridors and uses. The Neighborhood designation encourages improvement of underutilized properties, including improving stability, home ownership, property values, and providing high quality infill in established neighborhoods. The proposed zone change is consistent with the neighborhood designation, and the project supports the City’s stated goals of increasing options for homeownership and attracting a range of household types. It will also act as a transition from the higher-intensity Wadsworth corridor. This application is in compliance with the comprehensive plan by its proposed investment in a vacant site, by providing housing options, and by its compatibility with the adjacent neighborhoods. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error. Staff finds no evidence of an error on the official zoning maps. Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable. c. A change of character in the area has occurred or is occurring to such a degree that it is in the public interest to encourage redevelopment of the area or to recognize the changing character of the area. Staff finds no evidence of changing character, although it can be argued that the existing R-C zoning does not encourage redevelopment since this lot has remained vacant for so long with very little market interest. Staff concludes that this criterion not applicable. Planning Commission 8 Case No. WZ-20-06 / Wheat Ridge Multi-14 PRD d. The proposed rezoning is necessary in order to provide for a community need that was not anticipated at the time of the adoption of the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan. Staff finds no evidence of an unanticipated need. The proposed zone change responds directly to goals identified in the comprehensive plan. Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable. Staff concludes that the criteria used to evaluate zone change support this request. VII. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING & PUBLIC INPUT Pursuant to Section 26-109 of the Code of Laws, the applicant notified all property owners and residents within 600 feet of the site of the neighborhood meeting. Neighborhood meetings are required prior to submittal of an application for a zone change. The neighborhood input meeting was held on April 28, 2020. Sixteen (16) members of the public attended the meeting in addition to the applicant and staff. A full summary of the meeting is attached in Exhibit 6, Neighborhood Meeting Notes. The proposal presented in April 2020 differed from the enclosed ODP, so the applicant held another informal neighborhood meeting in February of 2022 per staff’s recommendation. One community member expressed mild opposition. A memo from the applicant is provided summarizing this meeting in Exhibit 7, Applicant’s Neighborhood Meeting Memo. Public noticing is required prior to public hearings. If any comments are provided prior to the Planning Commission public hearing on March 17, they will be entered into the record and distributed to Commissioners at the public hearing. Comments collected on Wheat Ridge Speaks will also be reviewed by Planning Commissioners and entered into the public record. VIII. AGENCY REFERRAL All affected service agencies were contacted for comment on the zone change request and regarding the ability to serve the property. Specific referral responses follow: Wheat Ridge Engineering Division: No concerns with the ODP. Wheat Ridge Police Department: No comments at this time. Wheat Ridge Building Department: No comments at this time. West Metro Fire Protection District: No objections, can serve. Consolidated Mutual Water District: No objections, can serve.

No Applicant: Brent Metz Applicant Present? Yes Existing Zoning: Restricted Commercial (RC) Existing Comp. Plan: Primary Corridor, Neighborhood Buffer Area, Neighborhoods Existing Site Conditions: The property is located on the north side of W. 32nd Avenue, one lot east of Wadsworth Boulevard. W. 32nd Avenue is a minor arterial that runs east-west through the city; while Wadsworth Boulevard is a major arterial that runs north-south. The property is zoned Restricted Commercial (RC). Properties to the north, east, and south contain low density residential uses and are zoned Residential-One (R-1), Residential-Two (R-2), and Residential-One A (R-1A). Properties to the west are zoned Planned Commercial Development (PCD), RC, Neighborhood Commercial (NC), and Residential-Three (R-3) and contain retail, office, and multifamily uses. Crown Hill Park is located further to the southwest. According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the lot area measures 31,625 square feet (0.726 acres) in size and is unplatted. Around late 2005-early 2006, a building permit application was submitted to develop the southern half of this parcel as a parking lot for a use at 3280 Wadsworth Blvd. Prior to the parking lot development, it appears the parcel was undeveloped with just a utility shed on site. The parcel was also readdressed to 7585 W. 32nd Avenue from 7500 W. 32nd Avenue in 2014. The parking lot is currently unused and no longer has any association with 3280 Wadsworth Blvd. This property falls in the Contemporary Overlay District. Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal: EXHIBIT 6: NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING Planning Commission 17 Case No. WZ-20-06 / Wheat Ridge Multi-14 PRD The applicant is currently under contract to purchase the property and would like to rezone it to the Planned Residential Development (PRD) zone district. Given its proximity to the development at W. 38th Avenue and Wadsworth Blvd., as well as being a gateway into the neighborhoods on W. 32nd Avenue, the applicant does not feel that the property’s current RC zoning that would allow for mostly office uses in a building that could be 50’ in height appropriately fits the character of the neighborhood. The applicant feels the Planned Residential Development (PRD) zoning that would allow them to build single family attached residences with front and back yards much more compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood and with more restrictive building heights than the existing RC zone district. While the applicant would be moving forward with just the Outline Development Plan (ODP) portion of the PRD first, which establishes the zoning development standards, a proposed site plan was shown during the neighborhood meeting. The proposed site plan depicted two townhome structures, one containing 5 units and the other 6 units, all on the east half of the property with the backyards parallel to the backyards of the residential properties to the east and fronting a 28’9”-wide internal private drive. The townhomes would have deeded uncovered parking spaces to the west of the private drive, with a fire truck hammerhead space in between those spaces. There is a landscaped area shown along the western property line. Visitor parking is proposed along the east side of the private drive. Each individual townhome is shown to be about 15’ wide by 35’ long, or a building footprint of 525 square feet. The overall site plan is shown to have a 15’ front setback, 5’ side setbacks, and a 10’ rear setback. The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting: • In addition to the applicant and staff, 16 members of the public attended the virtual neighborhood meeting. • After learning about the applicant’s proposal, attendees expressed concerns about traffic, parking, density, and the type of product proposed. • Staff discussed the site and its zoning. • The applicant and members of the public were informed of the process for the Planned Development rezone. • The members of the public were informed of their opportunity to make comments during the process and at the public hearings. The following issues and questions were discussed regarding the Planned Development request and proposed development: • How many visitor parking spaces are there and how will they be parked? There would be about 10 visitor parking spaces in front of the building. • What certainty can the applicant provide that these units will be owner occupied? Will the new units have garages? The applicant plans to develop the units and then sell them, so it would be up to the new owner if they want to rent out the unit. There will be no garages, just deeded parking spaces. The proposed ODP could restrict the density on the site. • How much building coverage is allowed in the RC zone district? Lots in the RC zone district are permitted a maximum lot coverage of 80%. However, other requirements would also need to be meet that would affect lot coverage such as at least 20% of the site must be landscaped and parking requirements. Planning Commission 18 Case No. WZ-20-06 / Wheat Ridge Multi-14 PRD • Where would you put the snow plowed on the property? To be determined. • What is the square footage of each unit? Each unit is about 1,000-1,200 square feet, so about 500-600 square feet per floor. • How did you determine the land coverage of the properties to the east versus the proposed land coverage on this property? The applicant determined the land coverage based on aerials from Google Earth. The townhomes are geared towards people looking to buy starter homes and empty nesters. The applicant is trying to accommodate future residents. • The trees on the proposed site plan, are those new or existing? They are representative and not the final proposed landscaping. The applicant would like to utilize existing trees, if possible. General comments were mixed from neighbors: • A neighbor noted they are not opposed to development, but 11 units is too dense; 3-4 units would be ideal. • A neighbor expressed a few different concerns: 150’ of street frontage is too narrow for 11 units; it feels too dense. There’s not much traffic on the W. 32nd Avenue corridor now and there is no activity on the existing parking lot now either. Any change to the property would affect the surrounding neighborhoods. • Another neighbor expressed a variety of concerns: the left turn into the site may create a congestion issue at the intersection of Wadsworth and W. 32nd Avenue. There are too many units being proposed. In terms of future buyers, old people do not like stairs; they will probably be young buyers. • A neighbor noted their quality of life would be impacted by the density, renters, noise, and cars. They would prefer up to 4 houses. • A neighbor and past member of the Wheat Ridge Planning Commission supported this proposal. The width of the proposed buildings are less than the ones on W. 38th Avenue and it’s a great transition product that would block sound from Wadsworth Boulevard. • The listing agents for this property noted that the site was initially commercially advertised, which would have led to more commercial uses right behind the houses. They understand that change is hard but commended the applicant as a responsible buyer who is taking many things into consideration that would create a win-win situation. This would be a premium product with a high $300,000 price point. Prior to the neighborhood meeting, staff also received a phone call from a neighbor asking if the units would be for-sale or rental products. Planning Commission 19 Case No. WZ-20-06 / Wheat Ridge Multi-14 PRD EXHIBIT 7: APPLICANT’S NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MEMO ITEM NO: 3 DATE: April 25, 2022 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION TITLE: COUNCIL BILL NO. 03-2022 – AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4877 ROBB ST. FROM AGRICULTURAL-ONE (A-1) TO PLANNED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT (PCD) (CASE NO. WZ-21-09) PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING (3/28/2022) BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (4/25/2022) RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO _____________________________ Community Development Director City Manager ISSUE: The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Agricultural-One (A-1) to Planned Commercial Development (PCD) with approval of an Outline Development Plan (ODP) for the development of a tree service business at 4877 Robb Street. The zone change is compatible with the area and allows for an appropriate transition from surrounding land uses while encouraging investment in a long-vacant lot. PRIOR ACTION: Planning Commission reviewed this request at a public hearing held on March 17, 2022 and recommended approval by a vote of 7 to 0. The staff report with the proposed ODP and a copy of the Planning Commission minutes are attached for reference. City Council approved this ordinance on first reading on March 28, 2022. A motion was made by Councilmember Dozeman and seconded by Councilmember Hultin and was approved by a vote of 7-0. Council Action Form – Proposed Rezoning at 4877 Robb Street April 25, 2022 Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed ordinance is not expected to have a direct financial impact on the City. Fees in the amount of $1,455.75 were collected for the review and processing of Case No. WZ-21-09. If the rezoning is approved, fees will be collected for review and processing of the future Specific Development Plan (SDP) and the City may benefit from various fees collected depending on the future permitted use, such as building permit fees or sales tax. BACKGROUND: The property is located on the west side of Robb Street between I-70 Frontage Road N and approximately W. 50th Avenue at 4877 Robb Street. I-70 is located nearby to the south, while the City’s boundary with the City of Arvada is located just to the north at approximately W. 50th Avenue. The property consists of two parcels. The site is unplatted and totals 150,108 square feet (3.446 acres) in area. It is presently vacant unimproved land. Both the Wadsworth and Swadley Ditches run overland through this site, with a significant grade change in the northwest corner of the site north of the Swadley Ditch (approximately 30 feet of grade change). This property is zoned Agricultural-One (A-1), as are the properties to the north. To the south, is the Wheat Ridge Industrial Park which is zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID). To the east, properties are zoned PID, Planned Commercial Development (PCD), A-1, Commercial- Two (C-2), and Commercial-One (C-1). To the west, properties are zoned PCD and Industrial-Employment (I-E). Most of the surrounding uses are commercial and light industrial, although the three A-1 parcels to the north include single-family homes. Current Zoning The current zone district, A-1, was established to provide high quality, safe, quiet, and stable residential estate living environments within a quasi-rural or agricultural setting. In addition to large lot, single-family residential and related uses, agricultural uses and activities exist and are encouraged to continue. A zone change is required to accommodate the applicant’s desire for a tree service business. The property has been zoned A-1 since the City’s incorporation when most of Robb Street was zoned A-1 in this area. The surrounding commercial and industrial zone districts have been established over the course of several decades with private zone change applications spanning from the 1970s to present. Proposed Zoning The applicant is requesting the property be rezoned to PCD, a zone district created to further promote the public health, safety and general welfare by permitting greater flexibility and innovation in land development based upon a comprehensive, integrated plan. Staff advised that a planned development was most fitting to accommodate the applicant’s tree service business because of the ability to customize the permitted uses and also the ability to modify intensity of development within the site in order to preserve natural features. 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. Council Action Form – Proposed Rezoning at 4877 Robb Street April 25, 2022 Page 3 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. Per City Code, the City Council shall use the criteria in Sec. 26-303.D of the code to evaluate the applicant’s request for a zone change with an outline development plan. A detailed Planning Division staff report is enclosed with this criteria analysis, as well as additional information on the existing conditions and zone districts. Staff is ultimately recommending approval of the request. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Council Bill No. 03-2022, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at 4877 Robb Street from Agricultural-One (A-1) to Planned Commercial Development (PCD) on second reading, and that it takes effect 15 days after final publication, for the following reasons: 1. The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the rezoning after conducting a proper public hearing. 2. The proposed rezoning has been reviewed by the Community Development Department which has forwarded its recommendation of approval. 3. The proposed rezoning has been found to comply with the criteria for review in Section 26-303.D of the Code of Laws.” Or, “I move to deny approval of Council Bill No. 03-2022, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at 4877 Robb Street from Agricultural-One (A-1) to Planned Commercial Development (PCD), for the following reasons: ___________________________ and direct the City Attorney to prepare a Resolution of Denial, to be scheduled for Council consideration at the next available regular business meeting.” REPORT PREPARED/REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Stevens, Senior Planner Lauren Mikulak, Planning Manager Kenneth Johnstone, Community Development Director Patrick Goff, City Manager ATTACHMENTS: 1.

I. REQUEST Case No. WZ-21-09 is an application for approval of a zone change with an Outline Development Plan (ODP) for property located at 4877 Robb Street. The purpose of the request is to change the zoning from Agricultural-One (A-1) Planned Commercial Development (PCD) to allow for the development of a tree service business, while preserving natural features that exist on the site today. Rezoning options for the property included Industrial-Employment (I-E), mixed use districts, or a planned development. Staff advised that a planned development was most appropriate because of the ability to customize the permitted uses and also the ability to modify intensity of development within the site in order to preserve natural features. Rezoning to a planned development in the City of Wheat Ridge entails approval of two documents. The first is the Outline Development Plan (ODP). The approval of the ODP changes the zoning designation on the land, establishes allowed uses and development standards for the property, and establishes access configurations for vehicles and pedestrians. The second document is the Specific Development Plan (SDP), which focuses on specific details of a development such as site design, architecture, landscaping, and drainage design. The SDP must be found to be compliant with the ODP in order to be approved. Section 26-302 of the Municipal Code allows for concurrent or sequential applications for the ODP and SDP. In this case, the applicant is requesting sequential review of the ODP and SDP. The ODP document requires public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council, with the City Council being the final deciding body. If the ODP is approved, the applicant can apply for SDP approval. The SDP application will be heard at Planning Commission, who is the final deciding body for SDP approval. II. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY The property is located on the west side of Robb Street between I-70 Frontage Road N and approximately W. 50th Avenue at 4877 Robb Street (Exhibit 1, Aerial). I-70 is located nearby to the south, while the City’s boundary with the City of Arvada is located just to the north at approximately at W. 50th Avenue. The property consists of two parcels. The site is unplatted and totals 150,108 square feet (3.446 acres) in area. It is presently vacant unimproved land. Both the Wadsworth and Swadley Ditches run overland through this site, with a significant grade change in the northwest corner of the site north of the Swadley Ditch (approximately 30 feet of grade change). This property is zoned Agricultural-One (A-1), as are the properties to the north. To the south, is the Wheat Ridge Industrial Park which is zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID). To the east, properties are zoned PID, Planned Commercial Development (PCD), A-1, Commercial-Two (C-2), and Commercial-One (C-1). To the west, properties are zoned PCD and Industrial-Employment (I-E). Most of the surrounding uses are commercial and light industrial, although the three A-1 parcels to the north include single-family homes. See Exhibit 2, Zoning Map. Planning Commission 3 Case No. WZ-21-09 / Rocky Mountain Hardwood PCD III. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN Attached is a copy of the proposed Outline Development Plan for the site, which contains two sheets (Exhibit 3, Outline Development Plan). The first page is a cover sheet with certification and signature blocks for the property owners, Planning Commission, City Council, and the Mayor. There is also a character of development statement, development standards and other standard notes. The second page includes the permitted uses and conceptual layout of the property, including access, open space, and planning areas. As noted above the ODP is a property-specific zoning document that establishes the underlying development standards. These are described below, would run with the land if approved, and cannot be changed without going through a subsequent zone change process. Allowable Uses Uses permitted per the ODP are all uses permitted in the City’s established Agricultural-One (A-1), Commercial-One (C-1) and Commercial-Two (C-2) zoning, with emphasis placed on encouraging uses that support employment and agriculture while maintaining natural features. More commercial uses are permitted on the eastern end of the site closer to Robb Street, with fewer commercial uses allowed as the property extends to the west. The specific uses being sought include a tree service business and supporting uses, including an office, shop, retail, tree nursery, greenhouse, lumber milling, limited outdoor and indoor storage, temporary Christmas tree sales, seasonal farmer’s markets, and the potential for a caretaker’s residence. However, a broader list of uses is permitted as deemed appropriate for the area, in case the property is ever sold, or additional uses sought. All standard supplementary regulations would apply, except that additional restrictions have been placed on RV boat storage and contractor storage yards to buffer from adjacent uses. All other uses would defer to code standard. Site Configuration The ODP depicts the site broken up into three distinct planning areas transitioning from most intensive along the southeast to least intensive to the northwest. The three planning areas summarized broadly as follows: • Planning Area 1 (PA-1) is located along the southeast portion of the site along Robb Street and will contain typical developed commercial uses to support business operations. • Planning Area 2 (PA-2) is in the middle of the site between the two ditches and may contain some building, parking and storage areas on the western portion and lumber milling, greenhouse and nursery plantings to the east closest to Robb St. • Planning Area 3 (PA-3) is located to the northwest of the site next to the adjacent A-1 residential property, to be preserved mostly in its natural state with some allowances for outdoor storage of natural materials, if screened. The primary office building and shop for the tree service business, as well as any major improvements such as the paved parking areas and detention, will be located in PA-1 and will be oriented along Robb Street. A potential caretaker’s residence could also be located in PA-1 or 2. Two access points are proposed to serve the building from Robb Street. Vehicular access will be limited primarily to PA-1 and potential for limited access in PA-2 if or when the Wadsworth Ditch is piped underground, with the other planning areas to be mostly preserved in their natural state. The ditches provide a natural transition between planning areas and areas along each ditch will be preserved for wildlife movement. The Wadsworth Ditch is furthest south, located between PA-1 and 2, and will likely be piped in the future with support of the ditch company. The Swadley Ditch to the Planning Commission 4 Case No. WZ-21-09 / Rocky Mountain Hardwood PCD north is anticipated to remain unpiped and in its natural state, with a new ditch crossing to provide access via skid steer. Modification to or crossing of either ditch would require approval of the respective ditch company as part of the SDP process. The Planned Development places standards to protect the ditches which may serve as wildlife corridors, to create a buffer to the residential properties, to confine the limits of outdoor storage, and to prescribe where the commercial activities and milling may take place. This PCD is customized so that the property can serve as a transition between the various land uses that surround it; it balances a desire to put the property to productive use and also a desire to protect the natural features. Development Standards Development standards are outlined on Page 1 of the ODP and illustrated on Page 2 in sketch plan form. The development standards do not align with typical standards because of the unique nature of the development, however elements were taken from A-1, C-1, and C-2 districts as deemed appropriate. Setbacks, Building Height and Building Coverage– The following setbacks are proposed on Page 1 of the ODP, and compares to typical standards of A-1, C-1 and C-2 zoning assuming a one-story building: Standard Proposed PCD A-1 C-1/C-2 Front setback (Robb St.) 35 feet in PA-1 30 feet 30 feet Side setbacks (north and south) 5 feet in PA-1; 10 feet in PA-2 15 feet 5 feet Rear setback (west) 10 feet 15-20 feet 10 feet Building height 35 feet 35 feet 50 feet Building Coverage Max. 25% 25% 80% While the maximum building coverage is calculated as 25% of the overall lot size, it should be noted that no buildings will be allowed in PA-3. This is the northwest portion of the site, where adjacent to the A-1 zoned residential property. The prohibition on structures in PA-3 buffers from the agricultural uses to the north, avoids challenging topography, and protects the natural state. Parking – Parking is proposed to be required in accordance with Section 26-1109 of the municipal code for mixed use districts, which is somewhat less restrictive than standards for straight zoned districts as regulated by Section 26-501. Depending on use, a parking study may be provided to determine parking, which would require approval by the Community Development Director. Parking is to be located in close proximity to the primary entrance for all primary structures. Architectural, Site, and Streetscape Design – Architectural, site, and streetscape design is proposed to be in conformance with the ASDM and Streetscape Design Manual except that the applicant is proposing aluminum or metal siding as a primary material but requiring the façade along Robb Street to be enhanced with secondary materials such as stone or brick veneer. This modified approach is appropriate given the context and character of the area. The ODP proposes an option to use compacted road base for most areas containing parking and drive aisles. The first 25 feet of the driveway will be required to be paved, and any areas near the building with heavier vehicular traffic will also require pavement or recycled asphalt. Storage areas must be built so that the materials used as the parking surface stays contained within the parking pad. Code Planning Commission 5 Case No. WZ-21-09 / Rocky Mountain Hardwood PCD typically requires that all areas subject to wheeled traffic be a hard surface (concrete or asphalt) but the alternative treatment can be proposed through an ODP, reduces overall impervious area, and is appropriate given the more agrarian character of the area. Outdoor Storage – Outdoor storage will be subject to typical supplementary regulations set forth in Sections 26-628, 629, and 631 of the municipal code. Outdoor storage is not permitted between the front of the building and Robb Street in PA-1; PA-2 may contain landscape materials, nursery plantings, and display; and PA-3 allows for outdoor storage of natural materials only, if screened, and must be located in the approximate area as shown on the sketch plan. Landscaping – Ten-foot landscape buffers are to be required along Robb Street and the northern property line adjacent to the A-1 zoned residential property, to be planted in accordance with Section 26-502 of the municipal code. PA-1 and 2 are to be landscaped in accordance with Section 26-502, and overall landscape counts may be distributed among the two planning areas. PA-3 is proposed to be maintained as native unirrigated open space. Any existing trees removed will be required to be mitigated by providing comparable tree replacements as detailed in the Open Space note on Sheet 1. Code compliance – In all other areas, the project is proposed to comply with the zoning code including lighting, fencing, signage, and streetscape design. Drainage On-site detention will be required to capture runoff from new impervious surfaces and to capture any historical runoff flows. An area for detention is being shown behind the building in PA-1. A full drainage report and final design will be required at the time of SDP application. Traffic Traffic from the proposed development is not anticipated to have an impact on traffic in the neighborhood. Trip generation is expected to be low given the restraints on developable area. Specific trip generation rates will be further evaluated at SDP review. IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in Section 26-303.D. The applicant also provided a response to the criteria (Exhibit 5, Applicant Letter). The Planning Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the following criteria have been met: 1. The change of zone promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community and will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area. The investment in the property contributes to economic growth by providing new jobs and services that are agricultural in nature as well as compatible with surrounding industrial, commercial and residential uses. The proposed development would improve public utility infrastructure by undergrounding and protecting ditches and upgrading utilities and public improvements. The development will likely add value to the area through high-quality and thoughtful design. The Planned Commercial Development zoning is expected to have a positive impact on the neighborhood from a property value perspective. The proposed zoning complies with safety and access requirements of the fire district. The project will not result in significant adverse effects on the surrounding area. The proposed zoning arguably provides a more compatible land use for the Planning Commission 6 Case No. WZ-21-09 / Rocky Mountain Hardwood PCD area than alternatives allowed under standard districts and the current A-1 zoning to some extent, which would likely result in either higher intensity development or development that does not consider the valuable natural features on the site. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. 2. The development proposed on the subject property is not feasible under any other zone district, and would require an unreasonable number of variances or waivers and conditions. A-1 zoning allows for tree nurseries, but the nature of the proposed tree service business is more commercial in nature and comes with elements such as storage, milling and need for larger equipment than what would be typically seen in A-1 and would require substantial conditions to ensure compatibility. Any change of zoning to commercial requires a planned development, I-E or mixed-use zoning. The alternatives are too intense for the area and therefore not feasible. The customized PCD allows for protections of the ditches and wildlife corridors, enhanced buffering from the A-1 zoned residential properties to the north, limiting outdoor storage, and prescribing where commercial activities may take place. No reasonable amount of variances, waivers or conditions for alternative zoning options could achieve the same. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. 3. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the types of uses allowed by the change of zone, or the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity. All of the service providers and utility districts have indicated that they have no concerns with the proposal and have indicated they can serve the property with improvements installed at the developer’s expense. The development of the site will require public improvements along the Robb Street frontage and streetscape. The Wadsworth Ditch Company has agreed to allow piping of the ditch, subject to future agreement. Exact requirements will be imposed at time of the SDP and subdivision plat review. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. 4. The Planning Commission shall also find that at least one (1) of the following conditions exists: a. The change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies, and other related policies or plans for the area. Envision Wheat Ridge, the City’s 2009 comprehensive plan, is organized around six key values, three of which are achieved by this project: 1. Create a Resilient Local Economy Based on a Balanced Mix of Land Uses. 2. Enhance Community Character and Accentuate Quality Design. 3. Ensure a Sustainable Future. The ODP reflects allowable uses, development standards, and architectural requirements that help with economic growth, promote quality design, balance compatible land uses, and retain Planning Commission 7 Case No. WZ-21-09 / Rocky Mountain Hardwood PCD community character. Additionally, by way of undergrounding and improving existing ditches, upgrading utilities on site, and installing public improvements, the proposal is likely to result in a positive future outcome. Within Envision Wheat Ridge, the Structure Plan map provides high-level guidance for achieving the City’s vision by designating development priorities and future land areas (Exhibit 4, Comprehensive Plan). The “Mixed Use Employment” designation encompasses this site, and all surrounding properties north of I-70. The proposed zone change is consistent with the mixed use employment designation while respecting the existing agricultural nature of the area, and the commercial project supports the City’s above-stated goals. It allows for an appropriate transition to agricultural properties to the north as well as commercial and industrial properties to the west, south, and east by way of buffering and limiting locations of more intensive activities. Lastly, it will facilitate development of a long-vacant lot. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error. Staff finds no evidence of an error on the official zoning maps. Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable. c. A change of character in the area has occurred or is occurring to such a degree that it is in the public interest to encourage redevelopment of the area or to recognize the changing character of the area. Staff finds no evidence of changing character in this specific area, however, areas that are in close proximity to the west are changing more rapidly in response to the nearby commuter rail station and TOD projects. The investment and changes complement the diversity of land uses in the area and strengthen the economic market. Staff concludes that this criterion not applicable. d. The proposed rezoning is necessary in order to provide for a community need that was not anticipated at the time of the adoption of the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan. Staff finds no evidence of an unanticipated need. The proposed zone change responds directly to goals identified in the comprehensive plan. Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable. Staff concludes that the criteria used to evaluate zone change support this request. Planning Commission 8 Case No. WZ-21-09 / Rocky Mountain Hardwood PCD VII. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING & PUBLIC INPUT Pursuant to Section 26-109 of the Code of Laws, the applicant notified all property owners and residents within 600 feet of the site of the neighborhood meeting. Neighborhood meetings are required prior to submittal of an application for a zone change. The neighborhood input meeting was held on July 26, 2021 in a virtual meeting format. No members of the public attended the meeting. A full summary of the meeting is attached in Exhibit 6, Neighborhood Meeting Notes. Public noticing is required prior to public hearings. If any comments are provided prior to the Planning Commission public hearing on March 17, they will be entered into the record and distributed to Commissioners at the public hearing. Comments collected on Wheat Ridge Speaks will also be reviewed by Planning Commissioners and entered into the public record. VIII.

No Applicant: CJ First Sean Imfeld Bill Tillapaugh Applicant Present? Yes Existing Zoning: Agricultural-One (A-1) Existing Comp. Plan: Mixed Use Employment Existing Site Conditions: The property is located on the west side of Robb Street between I-70 Frontage Road N and approximately W. 50th Avenue. I-70 is located nearby to the south, while the City’s boundary with the City of Arvada is located just to the north at approximately at W. 50th Avenue. The property consists of two parcels and currently is not addressed. According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the site is unplatted and totals 3.446 acres in area. It is presently vacant unimproved land. Both the Wadsworth and Swadley Ditches run overland through this site, with a significant grade change in the northwest corner of the site north of the Swadley Ditch (approximately 30 feet of grade change). This property is zoned Agricultural-One (A-1), as are the properties to the north. To the south, is the Wheat Ridge Industrial Park which is zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID). To the east, properties are zoned PID, Planned Commercial Development (PCD), A-1, Commercial-Two (C-2), and Commercial-One (C-1). To the west, properties are zoned PCD and Industrial-Employment (I-E). Most of the surrounding uses are commercial and light industrial, although the three A-1 parcels to the north include single-family homes. Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal: The applicant would like to rezone the property to PCD in order to purchase the property for their tree and lawn service business. Their planting division needs a small nursey area to grow and propagate trees for residential and commercial sales and installation. They also plan to create and sell live edge EXHIBIT 6: NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING Planning Commission 19 Case No. WZ-21-09 / Rocky Mountain Hardwood PCD boards to residential and commercial users by milling logs obtained through removals performed by their trim department. They state their ultimate goal is to create zero waste by reclaiming 100% of the byproduct resulting from the primary tree pruning and removal divisions. The proposed site plan envisions what the site could be at full buildout of the business and not necessarily what their needs are currently. This includes four structures: a 4,800 sq. ft. office building and a 2,625 sq. ft. workshop along the Robb Street frontage, a 1,800 sq. ft. parking structure behind the office building, and a 1,000 sq. ft. storage structure in the southwest quarter of the property. The applicant is proposing curb, gutter, and a sidewalk along the Robb Street frontage, and then a paved parking area for customer between the sidewalk and the front two buildings. The rest of the area southeast of the Wadsworth Ditch not occupied by structures would be gravel parking and drives. The area between the Wadsworth Ditch and Swadley Ditch is proposed to be the nursery (at the north Robb Street frontage), outdoor storage, and gravel drive. Northwest of the Swadley Ditch is proposed to be more outdoor storage and “native area,” with no buildings allowed in this area. Two new culverts are proposed to cross the ditches. The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting: • No residents from the neighborhood attended the meeting. • Staff discussed the application process with the applicant. Prior to the neighborhood meeting, staff also received no comment from others in the area regarding the proposal. ITEM NO: 4 DATE: April 25, 2022 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 21-2022 – A RESOLUTION APPROVING A MAJOR SUBDIVISION AT 5807-5823 W. 38TH AVENUE IN THE MIXED USE – NEIGHBORHOOD (MU-N) ZONE DISTRICT (CASE NO. WS-21-08) 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 5807-5823 W. 38th Avenue. The purpose of the request is to subdivide the property into 30 total lots to accommodate one (1) commercial lot, 29 townhome lots, and a common area tract. The plat is required to divide the property, allowing each townhome in the development to be owned separately. PRIOR ACTION: Planning Commission heard the request at a public hearing on April 7, 2022 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. Draft meeting minutes from the Planning Commission public hearing are also attached. Council Action Form – Major Subdivision at 5807-5823 W. 38th Avenue April 25, 2022 Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT: Fees in the amount of $1,507 were collected for the review and processing of Case No. WS-21- 08. Permit fees and use tax will be paid at time of building permit for future development. Fees- in-lieu of parkland dedication totaling $54,583.74 are due at time of building permit. BACKGROUND: The site is located on the north side of W. 38th Avenue between Eaton Street and Harlan Street, just to the northwest of the intersection with Fenton Street. The site is 60,851 square feet (1.3969 acres) and contains two total lots. The property at 5807 W. 38th Avenue currently contains a commercial retail and restaurant building from 1960 including a parking lot and multiple accessory buildings. The property at 5823 W. 38th Avenue contains two single-unit homes built in the 1930s and multiple accessory buildings. The property is zoned Mixed Use – Neighborhood (MU-N), as are most of the properties on the 38th Avenue corridor, having been subject to a City-initiated rezoning of the corridor in 2012, in accordance with the City’s main street vision for the corridor. Properties to the west and south are zoned MU-N and contain primarily commercial uses. Properties to the north along W. 39th Avenue are zoned Residential-Three (R-3) and contain primarily single-unit homes and small multi-unit properties. A small strip to the east of the site is zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC) but is part of the InCarnation subdivision that includes a shared access easement connecting 38th Avenue to the neighborhood to the north. The Judy Townhomes east phase, approved by City Council in September 2021, is located further to the east on 38th Avenue and is zoned MU-N; this property has already been approved/entitled and is not part of the subdivision currently under review. The east and west phases are independent and not contiguous being separated by a pedestrian path owned by the InCarnation owners association. 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 or architectural 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 a land use that is already permitted by the underlying zoning. In this case, the primary purpose of the plat is to create for-sale lots for the townhomes which are permitted by the MU-N zoning. This request is considered a major subdivision based on the number of lots involved, which requires a public hearing before Planning Commission and City Council. City Council is the final authority for approval. This is not a rezoning or a discretionary approval. Lot Configuration The subdivision creates 30 total lots and one common area tract which includes all of the common areas for the development including alleys, parking for commercial and residential, pedestrian pathways, open space and landscape buffers, public utilities, and access easements. There will be 29 townhome lots across 8 buildings, which will allow the developer to sell each of the units individually. It also creates one commercial lot (Lot 30) which aligns with the existing commercial building located on the site. Council Action Form – Major Subdivision at 5807-5823 W. 38th Avenue April 25, 2022 Page 3 New development on the site is required to comply with the MU-N development standards including setbacks/build-to, building height, architecture/materials, open space, parking, and lighting. The MU-N zone district does not have minimum lot size or width requirements, but is limited by the overall Charter density limits of 21 units/acre. The total site size is 1.3969 acres, which allows a total of 29 dwelling units on the site. Though site design and density are not part of Council’s review of the subdivision plat, it should be noted that the townhome use and retention of the commercial building are permitted by the underlying zoning and compatible with the nearby multifamily development and surrounding commercial uses on 38th Avenue. Attached residential development (single-attached dwellings such as townhomes) requires the following configurations, which this development meets: 1) buildings may contain no more than 8 side-by-side units, and 2) for units adjacent to public streets, front doors shall be located on the façade that faces the public right-of-way. Through review of the site plan and subdivision, staff has determined both requirements are met. Easements Several easements are created by this plat to establish adequate infrastructure and access: • Tract A contains a blanket public utility easement for wet and dry utilities. • The alleys contain a 20- to 26-foot wide emergency access and private access easement, with a fire truck turnaround. • Sanitary sewer and water easements are shown on the plat and will be granted by separate document. • Stormwater drainage easements are dedicated to accommodate on-site underground water detention facilities. • An existing utility easement will remain for the commercial building. • The existing City of Wheat Ridge permanent easement along the 38th Avenue frontage will remain as-is. This easement acts as right-of-way and allows the City to maintain its sidewalk and other improvements. It has been in place since 2001. Public Improvements & Required Agreements The streetscape improvements along W. 38th Avenue are existing and will not be modified, except as needed to repair and replace the existing sidewalk and lighting. The decorative screening wall and fence along the western portion of the 38th Avenue frontage will shift slightly south to better accommodate street-facing entrances to the townhome units along that frontage. 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. RECOMMENDATIONS: A subdivision plat is a technical document and review is a ministerial action. Per section 26-406.E of the City Code, “Decisions on subdivision applications are technical and non-discretionary in nature.” The intent of the public hearing is to allow a public body and the public at large to verify Council Action Form – Major Subdivision at 5807-5823 W. 38th Avenue April 25, 2022 Page 4 staff’s conclusion that the project meets the requirements of the subdivision regulations. The plat complies with the requirements of the subdivision regulations (Article IV in Chapter 26 of the City Code), is consistent with the MU-N zoning requirements, and staff has confirmed that all utility agencies can serve the property with improvements at the developer’s expense. For those reasons, staff is recommending approval of the request. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution No. 21-2022, a resolution approving a major subdivision at 5807- 5823 W. 38th Avenue in the Mixed Use – Neighborhood (MU-N) zone district for the following reasons: 1.

LOCATION OF REQUEST: 5807-5823 W. 38th Avenue APPLICANT: Storybuilt (Michael Padavic) APPROXIMATE AREA: 60,851 square feet (1.3969 acres) PRESENT ZONING: Mixed Use – Neighborhood (MU-N) PRESENT LAND USE: Commercial/retail/restaurant and parking (east lot) Two single-unit homes (west lot) ENTER INTO RECORD: (X)CASE FILE & PACKET MATERIALS (X)SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS(X)DIGITAL PRESENTATION Location Map Site ATTACHMENT 2 Planning Commission 2Case No. WS-21-08 / Judy Townhomes West JURISDICTION: All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case. I.REQUEST Case No. WS-21-08 is an application for a major subdivision on property located at 5807 to 5823 W. 38th Avenue. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing two lots into 30 total lots: 29 townhome lots in a total of eight (8) buildings, one (1) commercial lot, plus a tract containing open space and parking. Given the total number of lots, this request is 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, in this case commercial/retail and townhomes. The plat will allow each townhome unit in the development to be owned separately; a major subdivision would not be required if the units were proposed to be rented by one owner. A site plan for the mixed-use development has been found approvable by the Community Development Department. Civil construction documents are under review and are nearing approval. These documents are not reviewed by Planning Commission or City Council as part of the subdivision application. Townhomes and commercial/retail are a permitted use by right in the Mixed Use – Neighborhood (MU-N) zone district, and review of site plan and construction documents is administrative. Staff has found that all requirements of the MU-N zone district have been met, including site design, landscaping, and architecture, making the site plan application approvable. The purpose of the plat is to create lots lines that will enable individual ownership of the townhomes and to allow the commercial building to be on its own lot. Subdivision approvals are ministerial in nature. Per Section 26-406.E of the City Code, “Decisions on subdivision applications are technical and non-discretionary in nature.” The intent of the public hearing is to allow a public body and the public at large to verify staff’s conclusion that the project meets the requirements of the subdivision regulations. There are no discretionary criteria for review; discussion of permitted uses and site design are not within the jurisdiction of a subdivision approval. II.EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is located on the north side W. 38th Avenue between Eaton Street and Harlan Street, just to the northwest of the intersection with Fenton Street (Exhibit 1, Aerial). The site is 60,851 square feet (1.3969 acres) in size and contains two total lots: •5807 W. 38th Avenue: contains a commercial retail/restaurant building from 1960 including aparking lot and multiple accessory buildings •5823 W. 38th Avenue: contains two single-unit homes built in the 1930s and multiple accessory buildings Planning Commission 3 Case No. WS-21-08 / Judy Townhomes West The property is zoned Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N), as are most of the properties on the 38th Avenue corridor having been subject to a legislative rezoning of the corridor in 2012 (Exhibit 2, Zoning). Properties to the west and south are zoned MU-N; the property to the west contains commercial and residential uses and the property across 38th Avenue to the south contains a large two-story commercial building. Properties to the north along W. 39th Avenue are zoned Residential-Three (R-3) and contain primarily single-unit homes and small multi-unit properties. A small strip to the east of the site is zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC) but is part of the InCarnation subdivision that includes a shared access easement connecting W. 38th Avenue to the neighborhood to the north. The Judy Townhomes East Phase, approved in 2021 by City Council, is located further to the east on 38th Avenue and is zoned MU-N. III. PROPOSED SUBDIVISION PLAT Plat Document The proposed plat document consists of three pages (Exhibit 3, Subdivision Plat). 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, and the third page includes more detail on easements and dimensions. Lot Configuration The subdivision creates 30 total lots. There will be 29 townhome lots across 8 buildings, which will allow the developer to sell the units individually. It creates one commercial lot (Lot 30) which aligns with the existing commercial building located on the site. The plat also creates Tract A which contains all of the common areas for the development including alleys, parking for commercial and residential, pedestrian pathways, open space and buffers, public utilities, and access easements. New development on the site is required to comply with the MU-N development standards including setbacks/build-to, building height, architecture/materials, open space, parking, and lighting. • Residential Uses: The MU-N zone district does not have minimum lot size or width requirements but is limited by the overall Charter density limits of 21 units/acre. The total site size is 1.3969 acres, which allows a total of 29 dwelling units on the site. The townhome use is permitted by the underlying zoning and compatible with the nearby townhome and multi-unit development and surrounding commercial uses on 38th Avenue. • Commercial Uses: The applicant intends to partially demolish and restore the existing commercial building on Lot 30. Commercial, retail, and restaurants are all permitted uses in the MU-N zone district. By preserving the commercial uses on the site, the applicant intends to create a true mixed-use “main street” development, mixing residential and walkable commercial uses. Attached residential development (single-unit attached dwellings, such as townhomes) requires the following configurations, which this development meets: 1) buildings may contain no more than 8 side-by-side units, and 2) for units adjacent to public streets, front doors shall be located on the façade that faces the public right-of-way. Through review of the site plan and subdivision, staff has determined both requirements are met. Easements Several easements are created by this plat to allow adequate infrastructure and access: Planning Commission 4 Case No. WS-21-08 / Judy Townhomes West • Tract A contains a utility easement for wet and dry utilities. • The alleys contain a 20- to 26-foot-wide emergency access and private access easement, with a fire truck turnaround. This easement intersects with 38th Avenue in the same location as the existing entrance to the property. • Sanitary sewer and water easements are shown on the plat and will be granted by separate document. • Stormwater drainage easements are dedicated to accommodate on-site underground detention facilities. • An existing utility easement will remain for the commercial building. • The existing City of Wheat Ridge permanent easement along the 38th Avenue frontage will remain as-is. This easement acts as right-of-way and allows the City to maintain its sidewalk and other improvements. It has been in place since 2001. Public Improvements The streetscape improvements along W. 38th Avenue are existing and will not be modified, except as needed to repair and replace the existing sidewalk and lighting. The decorative screening wall along the western portion of the 38th Avenue frontage will shift slightly south to better accommodate street facing entrances to the townhome units along that frontage. 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, drive aisles, and parking—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 site is located in an Urban Renewal area, so the fee is $2,021.62 per residential unit paid at time of building permit issuance. Credit is given for the two existing single-unit homes, so fees are required for the addition of 27 new units. 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. Wheat Ridge Engineering Division: The plat is approvable pending minor typo/terminology corrections. Civil construction documents are under review and must be approved prior to construction or issuance of building permits. Wheat Ridge Building Division: No comments at this time. Any future development will be required to obtain building permits that will be reviewed for compliance with current building codes. The applicant has met several times with the Building Division to discuss permitting. West Metro Fire Protection District: No remaining comments on the plat. The applicant will submit building permits to West Metro for review. Planning Commission 5 Case No. WS-21-08 / Judy Townhomes West Wheat Ridge Sanitation District: No remaining comments.

Xcel Energy: No remaining comments. Applicant to work with Xcel to establish service. Century Link / Lumen: No concerns. Comcast: No concerns. V. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Staff has concluded that the proposed subdivision plat results in a logical lot layout and logical easements. Staff further concludes that the subdivision plat complies with the 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 the underlying zoning. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the subdivision plat. VI.

The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with the character of Wadsworth Boulevard. 4. The zone change will provide additional opportunity for reinvestment in the area. 5. The criteria used to evaluate a zone change supports the request. Motion carried 7-0. B. Case No. WS-21-08: an application filed by Storybuilt for approval of a major subdivision for a mixed-use development including one commercial lot, 29 townhome units and a tract for parking, access, and open space on a property zoned Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) and located at 5807 & 5823 West 38th Avenue. Mr. Cutler gave a short presentation regarding the subdivision and the application. He entered into the record the contents of the case file, packet materials, the zoning ordinance, and the contents of the digital presentation. He stated the public notice and posting requirements have been met, therefore the Planning Commission has jurisdiction to hear this case. In response to a couple of questions from Commissioner SCHELKE, Mr. Cutler confirmed that the commercial building houses the pizza business and the development to the east across the alley was approved to have 26 townhomes in 2021, but explained it is not contiguous with this development. Commissioner DITULLIO asked if there will be a Metro District for this development and if there is any TIF on this project. Mr. Cutler clarified that the city will require an owner’s association but not necessarily a Metro District and to his knowledge, there is no TIF being used for this project. Commissioner LARSON inquired about lot 13 & 14 and the proximity of the drive aisle to the corner of the building. Mr. Cutler explained this is a typical design for alley loaded townhomes and it is the required radius for a fire truck turnaround. Commissioner LARSON asked if there is onsite detention for stormwater. Planning Commission Minutes - 4 – April 7, 2022 Mr. Macsalka confirmed there are two areas for underground detention central to the property: adjacent to lot 19 and adjacent to the commercial space. Jay Siegel, applicant 2150 Cherokee St, Denver Mr. Siegel confirmed there will not be a Metro District for this development, only an owner’s association. Public Comment Peter Crouse, pizza shop owner 1762 Peregrine, Broomfield Mr. Crouse has concerns about the commercial building’s structural issues and about how the construction will impact his pizza business. Katherine Crouse, pizza shop owner 13401 Sheridan Blvd, Broomfield Ms. Crouse echoed the concerns of her father and is curious about the plans for the commercial building especially due to the structural issues. Susan Hartley, resident 4015 Eaton Street Ms. Hartley is concerned about the density of this development along with the development across the alley that was approved in 2021. She also has concerns about the traffic that will increase, and the neighbors are not happy with either development. Todd Hartley, resident 4015 Eaton Street Mr. Hartley is curious about where cross walks will be placed on 38th Avenue besides the current one at Harlan Street. He also had concerns of construction trash and wondered if a demolition permit was pulled. Commissioner ANTOL closed the public comment. In response to the questions asked during public comment, Mr. Siegel explained that the northern part of the commercial building will be demolished leaving the potion where the pizza shop is located. He added the remaining part of the building will be looked at to make sure it is structurally sound. Planning Commission Minutes - 5 – April 7, 2022 Ms. Mikulak clarified that pedestrian crosswalks along 38th Avenue are on the City’s radar; staff will be studying where additional crosswalks may be appropriate. Mr. Cutler explained there will be construction phasing plans which will take into consideration both developments. He reiterated that the two developments do not connect so the development being discussed tonight will not have vehicular access to Eaton Street. Ms. Mikulak added that Public Works required a traffic control plan during construction. In response to a question from Commissioner DITULLIO, Ms. Mikulak confirmed that potentially there will be an additional crosswalk between Benton and Harlan Streets. Commissioner DITULLIO inquired if any demolition or debris removal has taken place with the proper permits. Mr. Siegel confirmed that all the proper permits have been pulled and they are taking steps to clean-up the site from the previous tenant, so the site is looking better than before. He commented on the concerns of additional traffic and mentioned that at the neighborhood meeting the applicant team hosted, the parking and traffic concerns were discussed. In response to a question from Commissioner DITULLIO, Mr. Cutler explained that this is the plat City Council will review and if approved the Site Plan will be administratively reviewed. Commissioner LARSON inquired why the 2 subdivisions were not reviewed at the same time. Ms. Mikulak explained that the 2 subdivisions are separate parcels, do not touch and they had different owners/sellers even though it is the same developer/buyer. Also, they started the entitlement process at different times based on the separate real estate transactions. Commissioner LEO asked to have confirmed the where the commercial building is located. Mr. Cutler explained it is lot 30 and there will be townhomes on either side of it even though they are different subdivisions. Commissioner STERN commented that there is a missed opportunity to reach out to the tenant of the commercial building and how they will contribute to the community. Planning Commission Minutes - 6 – April 7, 2022 Commissioner DISNEY echoed Commissioner STERN’s comments and is also concerned that the developers have not been accommodating to the neighborhood and believes the density will negatively impact the community. Commissioner LARSON wished the two subdivisions could have been reviewed at the same time. Commissioner DITULLIO noted the difference between a subdivision and zone change review. He mentioned that the pizza shop will have a more business in the future because of the walkability to the restaurant from the two new townhome projects which is a benefit to the business and also fulfills the City’s vision from the 2012 mixed use rezoning of the corridor. He added that he does have some concerns about the density, but acknowledged that is outside the scope of a subdivision review. Commissioner SCHELKE inquired about the current use of the alley in between the two subdivisions. Mr. Cutler explained it is an active access easement from 38th Avenue to the InCarnation Subdivision. Ms. Mikulak added the alley is a separate parcel owned by Incarnation and is maintained by their HOA. Commissioner ANTOL acknowledged the changes in Wheat Ridge and wants to keep the vibrancy of the community and would like to see outreach to the small businesses in the community. Mr. Siegel clarified that the developers have reached out to the pizza business twice and established a relationship and engaged a retail broker to help renegotiate a lease in the new space and want the business to be preserved. It was moved by Commissioner LEO and seconded by Commissioner LARSON to recommend APPROVAL of Case No. WS-21-08, a request for approval of a major subdivision on property located at 5807 and 5823 W. 38th Avenue and zoned Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) 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. With the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall pay the required fees-in-lieu of parkland dedication at time of building permit. Planning Commission Minutes - 7 – April 7, 2022 2. The developer shall enter into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement and a Lot Sale Restriction Covenant Agreement with the City at the time of recordation of the subdivision plat. 3. Minor plat typography and notes corrections per the Engineering Division shall be made prior to recordation of the plat. Motion carried 7-0. C. Case No. ZOA-22-01: an ordinance amending section 26-615 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning small cell CMRS facilities. Ms. Mikulak gave a short presentation regarding the ordinance. In response to a question from Commissioner DISNEY, Ms. Mikulak clarified the statement on page 2 of the staff report that the larger umbrella term of “small cell” includes 5G. Commissioner DISNEY also asked why these small cell facilities have to be installed in residential communities. Ms. Mikulak explained that it is State law makes it a use by right in any zone district and local jurisdictions cannot change that provision. She added the city can dictate what facilities look like, how tall they are, and separations, but not where they are located. Commissioner LARSON inquired about what exactly is being added to the Code. Ms. Mikulak noted that changes in the ordinance are denoted by capital letter formatting and clarified that additions include the requirement for the building permit, the request for written justification, and certain provisions related to location, height, placement, and design. Commissioner DITULLIO asked for confirmation of the Community Development Director as being the final decision maker and not City Council. Ms. Mikulak confirmed this to be true; state law prescribes this is an administrative approval not something to be reviewed as a discretionary approval by City Council. Best practice in code writing is to identify the individual responsible at the City for approval which in this case is the Community Development Director or their designee. The purpose in clarifying the role of the Director is to clarify that it’s a decision of the City not the applicant. In response to a question from Commissioner LARSON, Ms. Mikulak and Mr. Cutler explained there has been no push back from cell phone carriers about this amendment and mentioned there have only been 4 poles installed in the city so far. Wheat Ridge Speaks Published Comments for April 7, 2022 Planning Commission Meeting Major Subdivision at 5807-5823 W. 38th Avenue I am concerned with the influx of Multi-family units being built in this neighborhood. There is already a congestion issue along 38th Ave, and adding another Townhouse development in that space will continue to add to that. We have lived in our home for 16 years, and this part of Wheat Ridge is losing its neighborhood appeal and becoming more like an extension of living in Denver. The other Townhouses along 38th between Depew and Fenton have created much more traffic in the neighborhoods behind them, with people tearing through the backstreets and causing safety issues. While I am all for improvements in the current structures in that subdivision, I am not in favor of yet more multi-family builds in this part of town. April 4, 2022, 12:34 PM Dahlena Kullman 5705 W 37TH AVE WHEAT RIDGE, 80212 I am a nearby neighbor of the proposed development and support it. Improvements along 38th Ave., in my opinion, make it more appealing, more walkable, better landscaped, feel safer and improve the tax base. I would appreciate clarification of what is to become of the existing commercial building, which includes a restaurant and other tenants. Will that building be improved, change ownership, or remain the same? Thank you.

WZ-22-02) PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING (04/25/2022) BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (05/23/2022) RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO _____________________________ Community Development Director City Manager ISSUE: The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from Restricted Commercial (RC) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) for property located at 4501 Wadsworth Boulevard. The zone change will result in a zoning that more accurately reflects surrounding conditions and other nearby zoning designations. PRIOR ACTION: Planning Commission reviewed this request at a public hearing held on April 7, 2022 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: The proposed ordinance is not expected to have a direct financial impact on the City. Fees in the amount of $700 were collected for the review and processing of Case No. WZ-22-02. If the rezoning is approved, the City may benefit from various fees collected depending on how the property is repurposed in the future, such as building permit fees or sales tax. Council Action Form – Proposed Rezoning at 4501 Wadsworth Boulevard April 25, 2022 Page 2 BACKGROUND: The property is located at the west side of Wadsworth Boulevard between W. 44th Avenue and W. 47th Avenue. Wadsworth Boulevard is one of Wheat Ridge’s main north-south arterials and is currently undergoing construction as part of the Wadsworth Improvement Project. The property will be partially impacted along the frontage by the project, and right-of-way was already acquired. According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the property is unplatted and the parcel area measures approximately 18,894 square feet (0.43 acres), after the right-of-way acquisition, and contains a two-story retail building from 1966. The property is currently zoned Restricted Commercial (RC). There are no adjacent or nearby properties zoned RC until further north on Wadsworth past W. 46th Avenue. Most other properties along Wadsworth Boulevard in this area, however, are in more intensive commercial or mixed-use zone districts and primarily contain commercial uses. The property immediately to the north at 4535 Wadsworth Blvd was recently rezoned to MU-N in 2021. To the immediate west is a multi-unit residential development on Yukon Court zoned Residential-Three (R-3). Further to the east and west are lower-density residential uses zoned R-2. Current Zoning The current zone district, RC, is a legacy zone district dating back to 1972 and was established to provide light commercial uses including office uses and limited retail uses. It was originally designed for and is more often seen on smaller properties with adjacency to lower density residential uses. Proposed Zoning The applicant is requesting the property be rezoned to MU-N, a zone district intended for medium density mixed-use development. In addition to residential and office uses, it allows for a range of neighborhood-serving commercial and retail uses. The applicant intends to rezone the property to allow uses that are more consistent with the current land use patterns on Wadsworth, including adjacent properties. A proposed use for this site is an upholstery shop which is not allowed in the existing RC zone district, which is emblematic of how limiting the RC zoning is in attracting potential retail users. The allowed uses in the RC zone district are limited which could make it challenging to attract users for the building or someone interested in redeveloping the site. The MU-N zone district is more appropriate than RC in terms of allowed land uses and will expand the permitted uses on the subject property. MU-N also has stricter requirements in terms of development standards, if the property were to ever redevelop. 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. Council Action Form – Proposed Rezoning at 4501 Wadsworth Boulevard April 25, 2022 Page 3 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. 04-2022, an ordinance approving the rezoning of property located at 4501 Wadsworth Boulevard from Restricted Commercial (RC) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) on first reading, order it published, public hearing set for Monday, May 23, 2022 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 Lauren Mikulak, Planning Manager Kenneth Johnstone, Community Development Director Patrick Goff, City Manager ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Staff has processed a handful of applications since then. This ordinance is proposed to update regulations in response to recent public concerns and based on lessons learned over the last 5 years. PRIOR ACTION: Several years ago, City Council reviewed and adopted Ordinance 1621 which updated the commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) regulations related to small cell and which became effective June 12, 2017. Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance at a public hearing on April 7, 2022 and recommended approval. Meeting minutes and public comment from the Planning Commission hearing will be included with the ordinance for second reading. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None Council Action Form – Small Cell April 25, 2022 Page 2 BACKGROUND: Current Code Commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) refers to the suite of facilities that allow mobile phone service; this includes freestanding towers, roof mounted antennae, and wall mounted facilities which collective are sometimes referred to as cell facilities. The term CMRS originates from federal legislation. Since the 1996 adoption of the Federal Telecommunications Act, both the federal and state governments have placed some limitations on the manner in which local governments regulate the installation of CMRS facilities. For this reason, CMRS facilities are permitted in the City, but local code establishes reasonable design standards. Small cell facilities are smaller CMRS facilities that help expand and enhance cellular networks ensuring coverage across a community. During the 2017 legislative session, the Colorado Legislature adopted and the governor signed, House Bill 17-1193 pertaining to small cell infrastructure. As it pertains to local governments, the bill did two significant things: 1. Made small cell facilities a use-by-right in all zoning districts; and 2. Allowed small cell facilities to locate in public rights-of-way (ROW) and on utility and traffic signal poles in those locations, and in public utility easements, with some limitations and subject to City review and approval. The bill also established expedited permitting deadlines. Essentially, the bill ensures that broadband providers benefit from access to right-of-way locations in the same way as telecommunication providers. Subsequent to the adoption of the state law, the Planning Commission and City Council reviewed and adopted Ordinance 1621 (effective June 12, 2017) which updated the CMRS regulations in Section 26-615 establishing subsection H specific to small cell. The code: • defines small cell CMRS facilities, • complies with state law allowing small cell facilities in all zone districts and within right-of-way, • requires a right-of-way permit, • establishes certain location parameters including a 1,000-foot spacing requirement, • regulates the design of small cell facilities, and • establishes a location priority list to guide the placement of small cell facilities. There has not been a proliferation of small cell facilities in Wheat Ridge. From 2017 to present, only 7 small cell applications have been submitted. All 7 were approved, and only 4 have been installed; 3 of those are completed and one pole has been adapted to accommodate small cell but no facilities have been mounted. Council Action Form – Small Cell April 25, 2022 Page 3 Proposed Code Amendment In 2021, public comments to City Council expressed concerns over utility work taking place in a neighborhood in east Wheat Ridge. Originally, there were concerns that a small cell facility would be installed in the right-of-way in front of a residential yard. Ultimately, no such pole was being installed. (Concerns were articulated about 5G poles specifically. It is important to note that small cell facilities are used to transmit wireless technology which currently includes 4G and 5G radio frequencies depending on the carrier. State law and City code define small cell more broadly and are not specific to the 5G network.) The intent of this code amendment is, in part, to respond to the public’s concerns by adding more specific placement requirements. To that end, the proposed ordinance specifies: “Small cell facilities shall be located on common property lines, as extended into the right of way, to the extent feasible.” This would preclude a small cell monopole from being located adjacent to the middle of a front yard; instead, it would have to be located adjacent to the corner of the lot. Staff is recommending a few additional revisions based on lessons learned from having processed applications over the last 5 years: • A building permit requirement is being codified which allows electrical inspection of small cell facilities. • Applicants will be required to explain why they have proposed a specific location. • The code will now specify it is the City (not the applicant) who determines similar heights, appropriate design, and color. Many of these provisions are already being implemented but having a code basis would be more appropriate. By way of example, the image at right shows a small cell facility installed near 32nd and Balsam in 2020. It accommodates a streetlight and small cell, is painted black for consistency with other right-of-way facilities, and is located at a shared property line. Planning Commission requested staff to study whether or not the code could include a hierarchy of permissible locations. This request was in response to public comment at the Planning Commission meeting which requested that small cell facilities first be considered on arterial and collector streets before locating them on local streets. Small cell facilities are proposed in locations where network coverage is lacking and needs to be augmented. Many times the location of small cell facilities is related to customer complaints about coverage gaps or in response to new development (and therein new residents or customers needing Council Action Form – Small Cell April 25, 2022 Page 4 service). This issue is being studied, and staff will provide an update on this topic at second reading. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Council Bill No. 05-2022, an ordinance amending Section 26-615 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning small cell CMRS facilities, on first reading, order it published, public hearing set for Monday, May 23, 2022 at 7:00 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.” Or, “I move to postpone indefinitely Council Bill No. 05-2022, an ordinance amending Section 26-615 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning small cell CMRS facilities, for the following reason(s) _________________.” REPORT PREPARED/REVIEWED BY: Jerry Dahl, City Attorney Lauren Mikulak, Planning Manager Ken Johnstone, Community Development Director Patrick Goff, City Manager ATTACHMENTS: 1.
