1. Race and Equity Task Force Recommendation Report
Issue
Following two years of assessment, review and consideration the Race and Equity Task
Force will be presenting its recommendations report to City Council in addition to
recommended next steps for the Task Force moving forward.
Staff Reports
Marianne Schilling, Assistant City Manager presented the background of tonight’s topics
where in 2021 the Race and Equity Task Force was appointed by City Council with the
directive to carry out a thorough review of City policies, services, and ordinances to
identify policies and practices that may contribute to discrimination. The Task Force met
for two years, while providing updates to City Council, and is ready to share the report
recommendations, with the goal to make Wheat Ridge a more inclusive and responsive
community.
Items spoken about included:
• Focus Areas
• Staff Presentations
• Recommendations
• Next Steps
Councilmembers had questions and comments:
• Several CM thanked the Task Force for their 1,000 hours of volunteer work that
yielded the report presented tonight. The report was well formatted and easy to
read yet full of essential ideas and recommendations.
• CM Hoppe expressed her extreme gratitude for what she called “a heavy lift.”
• Several questions concerned how to implement specific recommendations
among the more than 100 the Task Force submitted.
• CM took note that this work began long before the Council created the Task
Force in 2021 and thanked those who kept working toward this day for years and
years.
• Is the STAR Program in Denver the best model for that kind of effort? Are other
municipalities offering services that might also inform our work going forward?
Task Force members cited the Lakewood program as another example.
• Arvada Fire has a similar program. Have we approached them about a joint
effort? Task Force leaders discussed what they have learned in conversations to
date.
• CM took note that the Task Force’s work required not only dedication but also a
high level of expertise to do the work and make the excellent recommendations
presented here tonight.
• This work is a great beginning; we need to continue this work perpetually.
• The need for mental health services is obvious and huge. We will also have to
deal with a shortage of mental health professionals.
• Will the Executive Management Team and other staff be given a chance to weigh
in on some of these recommendations? CM Dozeman also said she has a lot of
questions about who, how, when, etc., these recommendations will be adopted.
• What will the ongoing operations of the proposed Advisory Committee look like?
• CM also predicted that we will need to delve into the details on many of these
recommendations one at a time to ensure the intended impacts are maximized
and unintended consequences minimized.
• Discussion also followed about the Task Force recommendation to create a staff
position to work on EDI (equity, diversity and inclusion) issues. CM wanted to
clarify that accepting the recommendations tonight means that Council will have
more work, more Study Sessions and budget work.
CM Hultin, with support of CM Hoppe, asked for consensus to add to a future study
session an item to review indoor bike parking requirements including EV charging
stations for E-bikes and vehicles.
Consensus attained.
Mayor Starker entertained a consensus to adopt the Race and Equity Task Force
recommendation to create a new advisory committee to advise City Council on future
DEI policy related matters, because the Task Force itself has completed the work in it’s
charter from Council.
Consensus attained.
2. Sales Tax Extension Survey Results
Issue
A survey was conducted between March 9th and March 23rd by Magellan Strategies to
obtain input from Wheat Ridge residents and to measure support for or against a
proposed ballot measure to retain the City’s current ½ cent temporary sales tax rate.
Representatives from Magellan Strategies will present the results of the survey at the
April 3rd study session.
Staff Reports
Patrick Goff, City Manager spoke on the background where in 2016, Wheat Ridge
voters approved a ½ cent temporary sales and use tax increase and authorized the
issuance of debt in the amount of $33 million for four public infrastructure projects. The
tax increase will expire on December 31, 2028 or when $38.5 million is raised,
whichever occurs first. City staff anticipates the temporary tax increase will generate
$38.5 million and hit the cap by late 2024. The $33 million was allocated for the
following projects which were also described:
• Clear Creek Crossing
• Anderson Park
• Wadsworth Boulevard
• Wheat Ridge – Ward Commuter Rail Station
Also discussed were the projects under consideration, which are:
• Recreation Center Expansion
• Sidewalks and street improvements along 38th Avenue from Youngfield to
Kipling
• Sidewalks and street improvements along 38th Avenue from Wadsworth to
Harlan
• Wider sidewalks along 44th Avenue from Ward to Kipling
• Improvements on 44th Avenue including new signals and pedestrian crossings
between Kipling and Ward
• Sidewalks along Youngfield Street from 38th to 44th Avenue
• Sidewalks and bike lanes on 32nd Avenue from Kipling to Wadsworth
• Sidewalk gap improvements throughout the city with emphasis on areas near
transit and schools
• Drainage and floodplain infrastructure improvements throughout the city
Mr. Goff introduced from Ryan Winger from Magellan Strategies to describe his firms
methods, the data collected and the resulting conclusions and intelligence for going
forward.
The survey also addressed items such who votes in even and odd numbered years, the
respondents party affiliation, the participants tabulated by age, etc.
Councilmembers asked detailed questions about several topics, engaging in discussion
among themselves and with staff including:
• Do you believe that the numbers about the Recreation Center expansion indicate
that that part of the project could represent a “poison pill;” something that might
cause the voters to reject the whole tax increase. Mr. Winger said that even the
Recreation Center is about the 60% approval threshold that usually means the
vote is likely to lean toward approving the continuation of the tax.
• Mr. Winger indicated that most municipalities would conduct a second survey
closer to the election in November to gauge any changes of sentiment and look
at more detailed questions (like whether the years the tax would continue is an
issue that would drive the vote one direction or another).
• Why would a ten-year period collect $45 million but a twenty-year period yields
only $75 million; why would the second period of 10 years yield only an additional
$30 million. Staff and Mr. Winer gave detailed explanations.
• Is staff asking for direction to begin moving this forward tonight, or to study these
questions and make more detailed decisions on these questions later? Mr. Goff
gave a detailed answer.
• How many different ballot questions are we contemplating? Four questions like
we used in 2016? Mr. Goff opined that the entire project package would appear
in one ballot question.
• We need to be careful that we are not again in a position where we cannot afford
all of the project we might list on a ballot initiative with the revenue we could
generate in 10 years vs. 15 or 20 years. CM Dozeman continued opining that
the residents with whom she has spoken think the Rec Center expansion is much
less important to families than the other projects.
• Other CM support further, detailed study of the questions still to be decided
(which projects, how many years…) needs to follow.
Mr. Goff commented that staff are already working on more detailed estimates of
projects’ costs.
Staff is seeking further direction from City Council on the following:
1. Should staff continue preparing for a November 2023 ballot question to extend
the City’s ½ cent temporary sales tax rate?
2. What projects from the list above would City Council like to include as part of the
ballot question?
3. How long shall the City propose to the voters to extend the ½ cent temporary
sales tax rate? (Between 10 and 20 years)
4. Should staff conduct additional polling before a final ballot question is submitted
to the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder for inclusion on the 2023 ballot?
CM Nosler Beck proposed a consensus to prepare for another survey in the late
spring, to drop the 44th Avenue Sidewalks project and the Rec Center expansion, with a
15-year term for the vote.
Consensus attained.
3. Mixed Use Code Updates
Issue
On February 6, 2023, City Council gave staff direction to return to a Study Session with
more detail regarding recommended updates to the City’s mixed-use zone district
standards, which are included in Article XI of Chapter 26. Since February, Planning
Division staff have developed an ordinance framework based on the overall positive
consensus of City Council to move forward with additional details to accompany staff’s
recommendations.
Staff Reports
Scott Cutler, Senior Planner reported on the item where the recommended ordinance
seeks to modernize portions of the mixed-use code, to provide better clarity and
organization for easier administration, and to establish standards that were not included
in the original regulations. It is typical for cities to periodically update municipal codes as
it relates to best practices, to add definitions and terms, and to clarify code language,
particularly if they have not been reviewed or updated in several years..
Mr. Cutler stated that the proposed code amendment does not propose any changes to
development standards (how tall, how dense, etc.), apart from adding standards for
accessory buildings which was unintentionally excluded from the 2010 ordinance. The
proposed code amendment is not meant to be more lenient or more stringent, rather it
seeks to clarify portions of the code and include more up-to-date and nuanced terms,
requirements, and design standards to provide consistency across the code. A lot has
changed in Wheat Ridge since 2010 when the code was written and there are many
lessons learned about how the current mixed-use code is functioning.
Those proposed Regulations and Changes include:
• Accessory building requirements (add to code)
• City Charter height and density cross-reference
• Building placement and orientation standards
• Vertical screening requirements
• Building materials
• Height bonuses
• Bicycle parking requirements
• Open space requirements
The discussion also included:
• Permitted uses (food truck courts, prohibit drive thrus, etc.)
• Drive-thru and gas station separation requirements
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.
• CM thanked staff for their hard work on this issue.
• CM had several questions about how the proposed changes would impact
various properties and residences.
• CM opined about whether we should require off-street parking and indoor bicycle
storage (for security of the riders’ bicycles, especially electric bicycles).
Mayor Starker asked for a consensus to direct staff to keep pursuing the changes
proposed in this memo in a single code amendment and return to Council with their
proposals for necessary Council action.
Consensus attained.
4. Facial Recognition Technology
The Wheat Ridge Police Department (WRPD) is required under Colorado Senate Bill
22-113 to notify City Council of our intent to use Facial Recognition Software (FRS).
While no action is required by City Council it is a requirement to provide an overview of
the FRS program to Council.
Staff Reports
Police Chief Murtha reported that Facial Recognition is a product currently provided
through an existing software package that is used at WRPD. While we do not currently
use the software it is available to us so there is no additional cost.
The WRPD used FRS prior to 2020. In 2020 it was determined that greater controls and
guidance would be necessary to ensure that use of FRS, in society, was controlled and
that proper guidelines were established.
Beth Daniel, WRPD analyst, gave a detailed presentation to Council.
Artificial Intelligence Facial Recognition guidelines for use and limitations of use,
oversight, and reporting were addressed in SB 22-113. The use of facial recognition has
been limited to specific situations and eliminates many of the concerns voiced by
residents of Colorado. In addition to limiting the situations where FRS is appropriate, the
law requires specific training and mandatory reporting. The limits on law enforcement to
introduce FRS evidence into a criminal proceeding is also addressed in the new law.
The WRPD intends to use the technology primarily as a tool to assist in investigations.
FRS, when used in Wheat Ridge prior to 2020, provided leads in cases that would
otherwise not be solved. The use of FRS under the current guidelines is primarily a tool
for investigation and enhances our detectives’ abilities to identify suspects, develop
leads, and provide resolution to victims of crime within the city.
Following the notification to the Council, WRPD required to provide for public comment
at 3 or more public meetings. Additionally, developing policy that incorporates the rules
and regulations around the use of this technology and subsequent training of officers
will be required.
Councilmembers had questions and comments:
Councilmembers asked detailed questions about several topics, engaging in discussion
among themselves and with the Chief and Ms. Daniel, who answered their questions in
detail.
Mayor Starker proposed a consensus to move forward with this ongoing effort.
Consensus attained.
5. Staff Report(s)
Mr. Goff showed a flyer available to the CM.
6. Elected Officials’ Report(s)
Mayor Starker discussed his email earlier with a memo attached regarding the bill
before the Colorado Legislature (SB 23-213) that would severely restrict municipalities
power to prevent multi-family dwellings and using zoning to prevent high density
development. He asked Council for a consensus to bring forward at a regular Council
Meeting a resolution opposing this bill.
CM each expressed their opposition to the proposed legislation in its current form
because it assaults home rule city charters and removes municipalities’ options to
controlling their own growth and zoning laws.
A discussion among the Mayor and Council ensued; CM expressed their opinions and
the upcoming bill mark-up may change the provisions extensively.
CM discussed the implications of the bill in specific detail. On Thursday, April 6 there
will be a committee markup of the proposed bill and at present there are indications that
significant changes may be considered. CM Hultin opined that Council might wait until
after we know more about the provisions in the marked-up bill.
Mayor Starker proposed a consensus to put an item or resolution on the agenda for the April
10th Council Meeting based on what happens when the bill is marked-up later this week.
CM Ohm thanked Chief Murtha for the presentation on FR this evening.
CM Hultin commented on the recent NLC meeting in Washington, D.C.
MPT Stites echoed his peers’ comments on NLC.
CM Dozeman recalled that the celebration of our municipal incorporation, the Carnation
Festival, is well into it planning and preparation process. The Carnation Festival
website is live and registrations are open.
ADJOURNMENT
The Study Session adjourned at 9:31 pm.

PUBLIC’S RIGHT TO SPEAK
Maranda Thompson, 645 Parfet St., Lakewood came to address the first item on the
Special Study Session agenda tonight. She opposes the proposed policies and ordinance related to Drug Paraphernalia that the WR PD is proposing. She presented data and analysis to support her position, that addressing only those who inject drugs, will do more harm than good. The proposed amendment should not pass.
Maxwell Johnson, commented as the supervisor of the group to which the former
speaker referred. He emphasized that their agency addresses the needs of all drug users in WR, not just those who inject but also to the entire population. He too thinks that the proposed ordinance will create more problems than it solves.

Issue
This request is for approval of the annual right-of-way (ROW) maintenance service
contract. The City currently contracts annually for mowing, weed prevention and
mitigation, and trash pickup in various right-of-way areas. TerraCare was selected by
the review team at the conclusion of a formal bid process for a contract in the not-to-
exceed amount of $162,295.31. Only $96,000 was included in the 2023 budget;
therefore, a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $66,296 is required.

Fund budget to reflect the approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the

Issue
The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) provides funding through CDOT for
local transportation alternatives to driving at 80% of the project cost. The Parks and
Recreation Department proposes to apply to this program for concrete replacement

Park/Marshall St. connection.

Department of Transportation for maintenance of traffic signals
Issue
Three traffic signals at the I-70/32nd Avenue interchange are owned by the Colorado

for the maintenance activities.
h. Motion approving an amendment to the temporary site lease agreement with T-
Mobile West, LLC
Issue
In June of 2022, City Council approved a lease agreement and a temporary site lease
agreement with T-Mobile West, LLC. In January of 2023, staff returned to Council to
update the commencement date on the lease agreement due to supply chain issues.
The same date also needs to be adjusted in the temporary site lease agreement. We
are requesting a motion to make that simple date adjustment.
i. Motion approving an amendment to the temporary site lease agreement with
Verizon Wireless
Issue
In June of 2022, City Council approved a lease agreement and a temporary site lease
agreement with Verizon Wireless. In January of 2023, staff returned to Council to

concerning ballot box use at Wheat Ridge City Hall, Anderson Park, and
Prospect Park
Issue
The City of Wheat Ridge has three Jefferson County ballot box locations on City

provide convenient locations for residents to drop off completed ballots. The City has
Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) in place with Jefferson County for each location.
This request for approval includes a new IGA for the City Hall location and amendments
to the existing IGAs for Anderson Park and Prospect Park.
k. Resolution No. 19-2023 – a resolution amending the Fiscal year 2023 General
Fund budget to reflect approval of a supplemental budget appropriation in the
amount of $8,766 to fund the Safety Program
Issue
The City recently received an unexpected dividend refund from the City’s workers’
compensation insurance provider, Pinnacol Assurance in the amount of $8,766. In
2023, the City hired its first Risk Management Coordinator, and that employee is
increasing the Safety Committee programming and providing a much more robust
overall risk management program. To fund some new activities, staff would like to offset
expenses with the Pinnacol Assurance dividend and put those funds to good use

DECISIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND MOTIONS
3. Motion to award the 2023 bridge repair project on Youngfield Street over Clear
Creek to TechCon Infrastructure, LLC of Denver, Colorado, and approve
subsequent payments in the amount of $469,911, with a contingency amount of
$46,991, for a total not to exceed the amount of $516,902
CM Nosler Beck introduced the Motion.
Issue
The 2023 Bridge Repair Project will perform critical maintenance to the Youngfield
Bridge over Clear Creek. This work will not modify the structure or add any features
such as sidewalks. Four bids were received for this work in response to an Invitation to
Bid. Staff recommends awarding a contract to the lowest responsive bidder, TechCon
Infrastructure, LLC. of Denver, Colorado in the amount of $469,91 plus a staff-managed
contingency of $46,991 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $516,902.
Staff Presentation
Director of Public Works, Maria D’Andrea gave a brief presentation, summarizing how
the city owns and maintains 11 bridges. These are inspected every three years by the
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) which provides a report showing
deficiencies and maintenance needs. This specific bridge was last rated in 2021 and
showed the need to address deterioration of the bridge joints and one of the pier caps
as well as address scour mitigation around one of the bridge piers. The project will add
expansion devices to the existing bridge to increase durability. Currently, there are no
expansion devices, so the asphalt at the beginning and end of the bridge is cracking,
allowing water to seep through to the abutment. In order to prevent this, approach slabs
with sleeper slabs are being constructed to accommodate expansion devices.

Motion by CM Nosler Beck to award the 2023 Bridge Repair Project and approve
subsequent payments to TechCon Infrastructure, LLC in the amount of $469,911, with a
contingency amount of $46,911 for a total not to exceed amount of $516,902, seconded
by MPT Stites, motion carried 6-0.
4. Resolution No. 20-2023 – a resolution in opposition to statewide land use and
zoning preemptions in Senate Bill 23-213 unless amended to address local
concerns
MPT Stites introduced Resolution 20-2023
Issue
The State of Colorado has committed both in statute and in state constitution to the
local control of land use planning and zoning because local governments are closest to
the land and to the people that occupy it. Senate Bill 23-213 would place statewide
mandates on local land use matters and substitute the judgement of legislators and
state regulators who lack the understanding needed to make the right decisions for
Wheat Ridge. SB 23-213 will undermine long-range planning efforts and will severely
limit the City’s ability to maintain reasonable zoning regulations to ensure a high quality
of life and sound economic environment for our current and future residents, workers,
and business owners.
Staff Presentation
City Manager Patrick Goff presented to council that while Wheat Ridge supports efforts
to address housing affordability and has already implemented many of the concepts
advanced in the bill including accessory dwelling units, transit-oriented development,
and increased densities on commercial corridors. In addition, the City adopted an
Affordable Housing Strategy and Action Plan on January 9, 2023 as a guiding document
to address housing affordability in Wheat Ridge. As recommended in this Plan, the City
has created a housing fund with a dedicated revenue source to preserve affordable
housing units in Wheat Ridge and stood by to answer questions.
Public Comment
No one came forward to speak.
Council Questions and comments

from the legislative committee hearing he attended last week. His Honor gave a lengthy
and detailed answer.

asked that Council receive weekly updates on the course of SB 23-213. She indicated
she will support the proposed resolution.
Motion by MPT Stites to approve Resolution No. 20-2023, a resolution in opposition to
statewide land use and zoning preemptions in Senate Bill 23-213 unless amended to
address local concerns, seconded by CM Hutchinson, motion carried 6-0.
During the discussion of the motion, CM Hoppe read into the record a statement she
sent on behalf of Wheat Ridge to our legislators.

reasons based on provisions in the initial bill that Council opposes.
CITY MANAGER’S MATTERS
Mr. Goff deferred until after the Special Study Session.
CITY ATTORNEY’S MATTERS
None.
ELECTED OFFICIALS’ MATTERS

ITEM NO: 1
DATE: April 24, 2023 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: COUNCIL BILL NO. 08-2023 – AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
ARTICLE IV OF CHAPTER 26 OF THE WHEAT RIDGE CODE OF LAWS, CONCERNING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEDICATION OF PUBLIC PARKS AND SITES AND MAKING CONFORMING AMENDMENTS THEREWITH
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING (04/24/23) BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (05/08/23) RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_____________________________
Community Development Director City Manager ISSUE: The proposed ordinance exempts deed-restricted affordable dwelling units from the parkland dedication or fee-in-lieu requirement established by Section 26-414 of the subdivision code. It
also adds a definition of deed-restricted affordable dwelling units to Section 26-123 of the code.
PRIOR ACTION: This topic was discussed with City Council in a study session on February 6, 2023 at which time Council provided consensus for staff to proceed with a code amendment.
Planning Commission reviewed this ordinance at a public hearing held on April 6, 2023 and
recommended approval. A copy of the draft Planning Commission minutes will be provided with the second reading materials.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed ordinance is expected to have a limited financial impact on the City. Parkland fees-
in-lieu are used by the Parks Department to supplement existing assets as the park system is
largely built out. The anticipated number of deed-restricted affordable dwelling units is a small
Council Action Form – Parkland Dedication Fee Reduction for Affordable Housing April 24, 2023
Page 2
percentage compared to the overall number of new dwelling units that would still be contributing the fee-in-lieu.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s current parkland dedication requirements were established by Section 26-414 in 2014 and are applied to all new residential projects within the City. Developers are either required to dedicate public parkland on site or pay a fee-in-lieu of dedication. Since most sites would only have small or impractical dedications, most developers are required to pay the fee-in-lieu.
Currently, only accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and nursing homes are exempt from this
requirement. The fees are assessed based on the “density factor” which acknowledges different household types, sizes, and impacts. For example, the developer of a single-unit home or apartment building pays $2,497.29 per unit, and projects located within an urban renewal area or mixed-use development pay $2,021.62 per unit.
There are no exemptions or fee waivers for deed-restricted affordable housing projects, which are defined as units that have agreements recorded against the property limiting the rent or sales price of that unit based on income. For example, a 50-unit affordable housing apartment building would be required to pay $101,081 under the current model, which is added to overall permit
fees.
At a study session on February 6, staff presented a list of proposed code amendments to City Council, several of which would help address the difficulties of developing affordable housing in Wheat Ridge. Council was recently informed of the cost of developing housing during the
adoption of the Affordable Housing Strategy. Page 52 of the strategy document specifically calls
for fee waivers for projects with an affordable component. Although City-imposed development fees such as parkland dedication fees are a relatively small portion of the total development costs of a housing unit, any City contribution to eliminating extra costs can help shrink financing gaps for affordable housing developers.
City Council made a consensus at the February 6 study session and directed staff to draft a code amendment waiving all parkland dedication and fee-in-lieu requirements for deed-restricted affordable dwelling units. This proposed code amendment is a result of that consensus, and the ordinance would add deed-restricted affordable dwelling units to the list of exempted types of
housing. The ordinance also defines what deed-restricted affordable housing is, which requires
the unit to be used as housing for income-qualified residents for a specific number of years pursuant to a restrictive covenant. These covenants are legally binding and can include projects financed by federal programs such as HUD HOME funds or Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). The exemption does not cover market-rate housing—even if rents are below average—
nor workforce housing, which is a market-rate product with rents and/or unit sizes below
average. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance waiving parkland dedication requirements for deed-
restricted affordable residential units.

TITLE: COUNCIL BILL NO. 09-2023 – AN ORDINANCE
APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF MUNICIPALLY-OWNED
PROPERTIES ALONG WADSWORTH BOULEVARD AND FROM ADJACENT STREETS BETWEEN 35TH AVENUE AND INTERSTATE 70 TO THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORATION PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING (04/24/23) BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (05/08/23) RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________________________ ______________________________ Community Development Director City Manager
ISSUE: Wadsworth Boulevard is a state highway that is owned and maintained by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The City has completed the right-of-way acquisition
process for the Improve Wadsworth project. The next step is for Council to approve the disposal
or transfer of right-of-way to CDOT by ordinance.
PRIOR ACTION: Starting in 2018, Council has acted several times concerning the acquisition of right-of-way (ROW) for the Improve Wadsworth project including approving a consultant
contract and an amendment to that contract with HDR Engineering, Inc, authorizing staff
to acquire the ROW, and twice authorizing the use of the City’s eminent domain authority.
On February 28, 2022, Council authorized a second amendment to HDR’s contract for work that had already been completed, mostly related to assisting the City Attorney with
Wadsworth ROW Transfer April 24, 2023
Page 2
the eminent domain acquisitions, and to prepare the necessary documents to transfer most of the acquired ROW to CDOT.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND: On December 10, 2018, Council approved a contract for ROW acquisition services with HDR, Inc. to prepare ROW plans and acquire ROW necessary to construct the Improve Wadsworth
project.
On September 21, 2020, staff updated Council in a study session on the status of the ROW acquisitions, including eleven (11) properties which had either stalled in negotiations or were trending towards stalled negotiations. Settlements were eventually reached on nine (9) of the properties.
The remaining two properties continued through the eminent domain process with the filings
being made on the first property in November 2020. The trial for that property was held in early February 2022 with the City’s valuation of the acquisition being upheld and no additional funds being awarded for damages. That property owner has appealed the ruling and the Appeals Court is currently reviewing that appeal. The appeal doesn’t affect the City’s ownership of the parcel,
just the cost of the acquisition.
The filings for the other property were made in February 2021 with that trial originally scheduled for late March 2022. While preparing for the trial, a mediation conference was held in mid-March 2022 during which the parties reached a mutual agreement on the acquisition cost. Since then, HDR has been working to close the project files, including preparing documents to transfer
the ROW along Wadsworth to CDOT.
The City will keep any of the acquired ROW that is along the adjacent City-owned streets and will keep remnant parcels that are remaining from the three full acquisitions. Because Wadsworth is a state highway, this ordinance transfers the remaining ROW to CDOT. In addition, the City will also be transferring some existing City ROW from the adjacent City
streets that will be bounded on two sides by properties being transferred to CDOT.
In order to simplify the transfer, a single deed has been prepared that includes the existing CDOT ROW and most of the acquired ROW along with the existing City ROW that will be transferred to CDOT. CDOT has reviewed the documents, has approved the form, and is awaiting this action by the City to accept the ROW that is being transferred to them.
The April 24 meeting agenda includes a motion by which Council can first accept all of the
acquired ROW before transferring the single deed to CDOT. Property disposition is required to be approved by ordinance.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of this ordinance so that the appropriate rights-of-way can be
transferred to CDOT.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Council Bill No. 09-2023, an ordinance approving the transfer of municipally-owned properties along Wadsworth Boulevard and from adjacent streets between 35th Avenue and Interstate 70 to the Colorado Department of Transportation, on first reading,

ITEM NO: 3
DATE: April 24, 2023 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 21-2023 – A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY’S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ENVISION WHEAT RIDGE
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_ ______________________________ _____________________________________ Community Development Director City Manager ISSUE:
The 44th Avenue Subarea Plan outlines a 20-year vision for the area between Clear Creek and I-70
and is based on twelve months of input from Wheat Ridge businesses, organizations, and community members. This plan addresses the need to develop comprehensive strategies that 1) promote revitalization and attract investment to the W. 44th Avenue corridor and 2) enhance the adjacent neighborhoods and the City as a whole. The plan reflects and builds upon input from the
2019 Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy and from the ongoing Let’s Talk resident engagement
program. Like the City’s other subarea plans, this Plan will be adopted as an amendment to the City’s comprehensive plan. PRIOR ACTION:
On December 9, 2019, City Council awarded a contract to MIG, Inc., a professional planning firm,
to lead the community through the subarea planning process. This effort was put on hold due to the pandemic and subsequent changes to the City’s budget and workplan. The subarea planning process formally kicked off in January 2022. A City Council study session was held on May 16, 2022, to share existing condition findings and gain input on the plan vision. More recently a study

Page 2
session was held with City Council on December 19, 2022, to report on engagement, to outline plan recommendations and to gather feedback from Council.
The Planning Commission also conducted two study sessions during the planning process – on May 19 and December 1. The Commission held a public hearing on April 6, 2023, and recommended adoption of the plan by a vote of 6 to 0. A draft of the meeting minutes and public comment from the Planning Commission hearing are attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The contract award to MIG was in the amount of $150,000, plus a $25,000 contingency. BACKGROUND:
West 44th Avenue is one of the City's primary east-west corridors, and the 44th Avenue Subarea
Plan is a long-range planning document for the western portion of the corridor. The plan focuses on W. 44th Avenue between Youngfield Street and Clear Creek (near Field Street) and more broadly includes the portion of the City between Clear Creek and I-70. This western segment of W. 44th Avenue is the primary connection between the eastern and western portions of the City
and the primary connection to key destinations such as RTD’s Wheat Ridge · Ward commuter rail
station, Clear Creek Trail, the Clear Creek Crossing development at the City’s far western edge, and numerous adjacent residential neighborhoods. The Envision Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2009, classifies W. 44th Avenue as a
Neighborhood Commercial Corridor and the primary east/west corridor for the city. The 2019
Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy and ongoing Let’s Talk program both identify W. 44th Avenue as a priority for planning efforts. The 44th Avenue Subarea Plan updates and replaces the 2007 Fruitdale Subarea Plan which covered a smaller geographic area and pre-dates many existing conditions including the current I-70 ramps, the Wheat Ridge · Ward station, investments in
Anderson Park, and the Clear Creek Crossing development.
The subarea planning process combined public input with technical analysis to establish a long-range vision and guiding principles for the W. 44th Avenue corridor which will guide public and private investments over the next 20 years. The plan includes an assessment of land use,
transportation, circulation, neighborhood connections, and redevelopment strategies to ensure they
are appropriate for the area. The plan identifies many recommendations and specifies high priority actions that will help achieve the community’s vision to visibly improve the area, with a focus on revitalization and reinvestment.
Subarea Planning Engagement Process
The Let’s Talk program completed engagement blitzes in the Fruitdale and Anderson Park neighborhoods from October 2021 to March 2022. Building on that engagement effort, the City and MIG have been working on the 44th Avenue Subarea Plan since early 2022 and designed a substantial public engagement component.
The project was organized into three phases of engagement:
Council Action Form – 44th Avenue Subarea Plan April 24, 2023
Page 3
1) Vision and foundation – Winter through Spring 2022 2) Overall strategy and synthesis – Summer 2022
3) Final recommendations and action - Fall 2022 through Winter 2023
Each phase of the project involved a variety of engagement opportunities, including advisory committee meetings, focus group meetings, public meetings, online engagement, and presence at local events (aka pop-up events). Opportunities for community input included:
• Online engagement activities posted to the What’s Up Wheat Ridge project page, including visioning survey and mapping, strategy survey, and recommendations survey
• Three advisory committee meetings in January 2022, May 2022, and January 2023
• Two sets of focus group meetings in February and June 2022
• Three community-wide public meetings in February, June, and September 2022
• Project team presence at local events and activity centers such as the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center, Performances in the Park, Dumpster Days, and Carnation Festival
• Study sessions with Planning Commission and City Council in May and December with adoption hearings in March 2023 Summary materials from each phase of engagement can be found on the project page at
WhatsUpWheatRidge.com/44th-Avenue.
Communications for the project have been robust, utilizing all available City media outlets including bilingual direct mail, traditional media, and regular updates via social media, emails, City website, yard sign postings and What’s Up Wheat Ridge communications. The City began
using What’s Up Wheat Ridge in 2020 which has enabled better outreach and the ability to keep
stakeholders better informed. A full list of engagement and communications related to the project are provided in the attached Engagement Report (Attachment 2). Technical analysis of the market, traffic and existing conditions were conducted in parallel with
public engagement to guide ultimate recommendations of the plan and ensure actionable
outcomes. These technical reports were used in conjunction with public input to shape the recommendations and ensure they are grounded in reality. The engagement summaries and technical reports are included as part of the final plan appendices
which can be found at WhatsUpWheatRidge.com/44th-Avenue.
Subarea Plan Organization The plan is divided into four main chapters. Chapter I of the plan provides background information about the subarea and project phasing. Chapter II describes the public input process
and technical analysis. Chapter III lays out the vision, recommendations, and strategies and
finally, Chapter IV includes the action plan. Recommendations and actions build off of the public input and technical analyses presented in prior chapters and include a series of maps for reference to geographically based strategies. The recommendations presented in Chapter III provide for long-term (20 year) direction and guidance, while the action plan in Chapter IV is intended to
include more immediate actionable items that can be accomplished near- to mid-term (0-10 years).
Council Action Form – 44th Avenue Subarea Plan April 24, 2023
Page 4
At the most recent study sessions with Planning Commission and City Council in December 2022, staff presented the overall plan structure and draft recommendations. Feedback from the
December study sessions and public comment informed minor revisions. The final draft is
provided as Attachment 5. The plan is organized into guiding principles (which reflect the visioning phase of public engagement), major recommendations, and specific strategies. This framework is shown in the
image below.
Implementation An essential goal of the subarea plan was to create a community-backed and realistic vision plan
with actionable outcomes focused on revitalization and investment of the W. 44th Avenue corridor
and surrounding area. The action plan outlined in Chapter IV of the plan document is new information since the last study session and was vetted through engagement by the Advisory Committee. It is intentionally focused on targeted implementation work that can be completed in the near- to mid-term and falls within a few categories: the use of regulatory tools to balance new development with the unique character, ways to attract and retain businesses, and improving
mobility and connectivity throughout the subarea. If implemented strategically, the vision can be realized. The action plan helps prioritize the multitude of recommendations, and it provides a road map for moving into implementation quickly. Staff will continue to evaluate the action plan, and as time passes and conditions change
additional recommendations will be elevated to action.

Commissioner SCHELKE believes that daycare centers are needed and important
in today’s world and hopes the zone change is approved.
Public Comment
No one wished to speak at this time.
It was moved by Commissioner LARSON and seconded by Commissioner
KERNS to recommend APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-23-01, a request for
approval of a zone change from Residential-Two (R-2) to Mixed-Use
Neighborhood (MU-N) for property located at 7890 W. 38th Avenue for the
following reasons:
1.The proposed zone change will promote the public health, safety, or
welfare of the community and does not result in an adverse effect on
the surrounding area.
2.Utility infrastructure adequately services the property.
3.The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and objectives of
the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
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.

Mark De La Torre, MIG Project Manager
4345 Brentwood Street, Wheat Ridge
Mr. De La Torre gave a brief presentation about the action plan for the 44th Avenue
Subarea Plan.
Commissioner LARSON asked if this plan contains only recommendations or is
binding.
Ms. Stevens explained that this plan is a guiding document so by approving it, it
will guide future investments and entitlements. Ms. Mikulak added this plan is not
a regulatory document, and the zoning will prevail in the decision of land use

cases. In response to a question, she also explained the process of doing a
legislative rezone if appropriate.
Commissioner DISNEY asked for clarification about underpass improvements,
specifically at I-70 and Kipling.
Ms. Mikulak explained that CDOT did complete a preliminary design for
interchange improvements, but the project is not budgeted or scheduled.
Commissioner DISNEY also inquired if there is a recommendation for business
owners in the area to form an association.
Mr. De La Torre mentioned there is a recommendation that encourages businesses
to form an organization of some kind, though not necessarily a BID or business
improvement district.
Commissioner STERN asked about how the next actions will be defined.
Ms. STEVENS explained staff will continue to evaluate the action plan, and as
time passes and conditions change additional recommendations will be elevated to
action.
Commissioner KERNS mentioned he is a big fan of this plan including the small
business focus and building repurposing, walkability, tree canopy and cover,
diverse housing strategies and the different connections to the Clear Creek Trail.
Commissioner DITULLIO asked if there will be traffic interventions such as traffic
circles on 44th Avenue.
Mr. De La Torre explained that there was a traffic and signal warrant analysis done
to address safety and mobility at intersections and traffic circles were not
recommended but there are recommended signals and upgraded pedestrian
crossings at certain intersections.
Commissioner DITULLIO also inquired about changes within the 44th Avenue
right-of-way between the flowlines.
Ms. Mikulak confirmed the plan focuses on back of curb enhancements and the
plan does not contemplate lane additions or reductions.
In response to a question from Commissioner LARSON about Urban Renewal, Ms.
Mikulak defined Urban Renewal Area as a tool to recognize areas that need
investment in the community and how the value of those private investments can
be captured using Tax Increment Finance (TIF) to reinvest in this area.

Commissioners STERN and DISNEY concurred with Commissioner KERNS’
enthusiasm for the plan and liked the robust engagement from the community.
There was consensus that the plan has set the stage for 44th Avenue becoming a
special place to live and or work.
Public Comment
No one wished to speak at this time.
It was moved by Commissioner KERNS and seconded by Commissioner
DISNEY to adopt Resolution 01-2023, a resolution recommending adoption of
the 44th Avenue Subarea Plan as an amendment to the City’s Comprehensive
Plan, Envision Wheat Ridge, and forwarding said recommendation to the
Wheat Ridge City Council.
Motion carried 6-0.
C. Case No. ZOA-23-03: An ordinance amending Article IV of Chapter 26 of the
Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, concerning requirements for dedication of Public
Parks and Sites and making confirming amendments therewith.
Mr. Cutler gave a short presentation regarding the code amendment to wave
parkland dedication requirements for deed restricted affordable housing property.
Commissioner STERN asked if there was any discussion on including an upper
income limit in the definition of the deed restricted affordable dwelling unit.
Ms. Mikulak confirmed there has not been any discussion and explained that
typically most of the projects the City envisions are below 100% AMI and
explained the purpose of income averaging.
Commissioner LARSON inquired how much parkland dedication has been
collecting in the last year or two and what is the money put towards.
Ms. Mikulak and Mr. Cutler explained it varies depending on the size of the project
and the money does not specifically go to just parks, but trail maintenance, trail
heads, etc. The funds go to Park’s general revenue for improvements, and they
budget for its use each year. The money is specifically reserved for improvements
and cannot go towards other things such as operations.
Commissioner DITULLIO asked who monitors the deed restrictions.
Ms. Mikulak mentioned the City is not proposing to monitor the deed restrictions
through this waiver.

Adoption of the 44th Avenue Subarea Plan

∙ Apr 4, 2023 ∙ 3:16pm
The implementation of this project needs to include a "Round About" at 44th ave. and Tabor St. A
round about is a better traffic control design for this area than stoop lights or stop signs. Almost
iompossible and certaily dangerous to turn left going north or sout on Tabor St. In addition the 18
wheelers regularly do a U turn at that intersection.

∙ Apr 3, 2023 ∙ 6:32pm
On Strategy F-3 (Northwestern Loop) & G-2 North-South Connectivity (Long-term): Tabor Street
represents a unique overpass junction with I-70 to act as a North-South gateway. The crossing of I-
70 is a primary obstacle to traffic accessing RTD G-line stations from the W 44th ave subarea,
particularly pedestrian or bicycle traffic which outside of Tabor St must contest with underpass
crossings. Focusing on the Tabor St gateway, while it lacks bike lanes or sidewalks due to its width,
its opening onto Ridge Rd. could provide efficient access to businesses and RTD stops at Ward
Rd/52nd and Arvada Ridge Marketplace. Tabor St's overpass has a fixed width, but its approaches
to the north and south also have excessively narrow shoulders + lack of bike lanes/sidewalks. The
northern side of the crossing has access to open space that could be used to separate through-
going foot/cycle traffic from the 3-way intersection of Tabor St and I-70 frontage (N). Because of
neighborhood connectivity issues in Fruitdale (Strategy F-2), I-70 Frontage (S) serves as a key
access route to the Tabor St gateway from the neighborhood (along with the primary W. 44th
ave/Clear Creek bike path), and may have opportunity to host a shared-direction bike lane by
adjusting its existing shoulder area (item F-3). Improving the subarea's access to and through the
Tabor St gateway will lead to improvements in access to both RTD stations (Wheat Ridge-Ward and
Arvada Ridge), as well as nearby businesses and new developments. Such expansions also provide
a foundation for one day connecting the W 44th ave subarea and its Clear Creek cycling paths with
neighboring Van Beiber creek trails, Stenger Complex and Red Rocks College, and Ralston Creek
paths and facilities. I believe the item for improving the Tabor St gateway and its role in the
Northwestern loop could be moved up to be a Near-Mid term goal, as the current Mid term goal tier
overlaps with the more investment heavy Kipling Underpass renovation (Mid-Long term), despite
the Tabor St gateway representing a potentially more achievable connectivity solution for north-
south pedestrian traffic in the W 44th ave subarea. That said, please consider this comment in light
of my support for all the proposed development areas! (W. 44th Ave intersections, historical
recognition sites, emphasis on local commercial corridors, beautification and neighborhood
connectivity (CPTED))

West 44th Avenue Subarea Plan Project
Boundary
Project
Description
OVERVIEW
The 44th Avenue corridor is a major
East-West thoroughfare in Wheat
Ridge, with access to many businesses,
neighborhoods, and amenities.
Along this corridor and in the
surrounding Fruitdale and Anderson
Park neighborhoods, there are many
opportunities to improve this important
part of the Wheat Ridge community
in the years and decades ahead. This
specific area along and surrounding the
corridor is referred to as the Subarea,
and this document presents a long-
term planning vision, with specific
recommendations for this Subarea.
WHAT IS THIS PLAN
Unlike Envision Wheat Ridge, the
City’s comprehensive plan, which
provides general guidance for the
entire City, a Subarea Plan provides
specific visions and goals for a smaller
geography with recommendations for
how to get there. In this Plan, land use
and housing diversity, mobility and
access improvements, quality of life
infrastructure additions, and economic
resilience are all critical plan elements.
The Plan provides a high-level scan of
the existing conditions of the Subarea,
noting the area’s character and history,
market conditions, and economic
outlook. In addition to this scan of
existing conditions, engagement and
input provided by the larger community
was essential for all phases of the
planning process.
HOW TO USE THIS PLAN
This Plan is intended to articulate
a future vision for the 44th Avenue
Subarea that is based on the
community’s goals and values and
provides tools and strategies to
implement that vision.
This type of plan presents an
opportunity to holistically plan for
change as it relates to land use,
mobility, public safety and quality of life
infrastructure and more. City staff will
use this document moving forward to
inform entitlements, public investment,
City staff work plans, and City-led and
partnership projects and programs
to achieve the community’s vision as
recommended by this plan.

INTENT OF THE PLAN
This Plan is intended to:
»Combine public input with technical analysis to establish a long-range vision and guiding principles for the West 44th Avenue Subarea which will guide public and private investments.
»Create a vision and redevelopment strategy for the West 44th
Avenue corridor and identify priority actions that will help
achieve the vision and visibly improve the community.
»Focus on revitalization and reinvestment within the Subarea including businesses, neighborhoods, key economic drivers, and community assets.
»Include an assessment of land use, transportation circulation,
neighborhood connections, and redevelopment strategies to
ensure they are appropriate for the area.
This Plan did not:
»Contemplate lane additions or reductions.
»Recommend displacement of any existing businesses.
»Implement any changes, it only makes recommendations for future changes.

SUBAREA BOUNDARY
The 44th Avenue Subarea covers a large
area of land north and south of West
44th Avenue on the northwest side of
Wheat Ridge. The area is bounded by
two major features, with Interstate-70
(I-70) forming the northern and western
edge and Clear Creek forming the
southern and eastern edge. The Subarea
ends where the Creek meets I-70 at
Wadsworth and Youngfield. These
boundaries create both a challenge
and opportunity to not only improve
the well-contained Subarea, but also
to strengthen its relationship to the
rest of Wheat Ridge and other nearby
destinations and assets.
West 44th Avenue is the primary
transportation and commercial
corridor within the Subarea. This is
a major connection between the
eastern and western portions of the
City, linking important assets such
as many of the City’s large parks and
numerous established residential
neighborhoods. The Envision Wheat
Ridge Comprehensive Plan, adopted in
2009, classifies West 44th Avenue as a
Neighborhood Commercial Corridor and
the primary east/west corridor for the
City.
Today, the Subarea has a mix of land
uses, a fragmented circulation network,
and many underutilized areas, all of
which create a unique context for future
planning and redevelopment.
GENERAL CONTEXT
The project boundaries, which have
benefits for regional travel and green
space, also present barriers to mobility.
Within the Subarea, I-70 crossings are
limited to Ward Road, Tabor Street,
Kipling Street and Carr Street, and Clear
Creek on the south side is only crossed
by Youngfield, West 44th Avenue at
Field, and Kipling Street. This constraint
has a clear and significant impact on the
surrounding land use and development
patterns. The Clear Creek edge is
primarily made up of parks, open space,
and low-density residential streets while
the I-70 edge aligns with a continuous
frontage road and is composed of
significantly more industrial and
commercial uses. The neighborhoods
abutting I-70 are separated from the
freeway by a barrier wall to mitigate
noise and visual impacts.
Largely due to the Clear Creek
Greenbelt, the Subarea has significant
open space assets and the pedestrian
and bicycle connectivity provided by the
Clear Creek Trail. However, connectivity
to the regional trail is relatively limited
from many parts of the Subarea.
Nearby destinations include the Clear
Creek Crossing development, Golden
and Table Mountain open space to
the west; Stenger Sports Complex, the
Gold Line commuter rail, and Olde
Town Arvada to the north; Berkeley and
Tennyson commercial districts to the
east; and the Lutheran Medical Center
and Crown Hill Park to the south.

In 2021, the City established a
Land Acknowledgment Committee.
Indigenous land acknowledgment
is an effort to recognize the
Indigenous past, present and
future of a particular location and
to understand the community’s
place within that relationship. Land
acknowledgments often take the form
of a written statement. The City’s draft
acknowledgment (as of September
2022) appears to the right:
LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Wheat Ridge embodies the deep roots of a City with a
rich history and a strong sense of community. It sits on
the traditional homelands of the people of the Northern
Cheyenne Tribe, the Northern Arapaho Tribe, the Cheyenne
and Arapaho Tribes, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, the
Southern Ute Tribe, and the Northern Ute Tribe. This was
also a site for trade, gathering and healing for numerous
other Native tribes. We recognize the Indigenous peoples
as original stewards of this land, and all the relatives within
it. It is within the City of Wheat Ridge’s responsibility, as
a community, to disseminate knowledge about Native
peoples and our history with them. Consistent with our
commitment to diversity and inclusion, Wheat Ridge
works towards building relationships with Native American
communities through partnerships, historical recognitions,
and educational endeavors.
History, Background, and Context
8 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN
SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The City of Wheat Ridge and the 44th
Avenue Subarea have a rich agricultural
history. While inhabitants settled here
during the Gold Rush of the 1850s,
as a jumping-off point for miners, the
population did not flourish until later
through the development of orchards
and vegetable fields on the city’s fertile
soil.
The Wheat Ridge Historical Park, in the
northwestern portion of the Subarea at
West 46th Avenue and Robb Street, is
home to several historic structures: the
original post office, the affectionately
named “Soddy” sod house, and the
Baugh House which was built in 1860 by
the largest farmer and homesteader of
the time and is now one of Colorado’s
Agricultural land within the neighborhoods
Single-unit neighborhood character
Low density retail strip mall along W 44th Ave
oldest structures. The historic Fruitdale
School is located along West 44th
Avenue. After the first structure burned,
it was rebuilt in 1927 by architect
Temple Buell and was more recently
converted into lofts for workforce and
deed-restricted affordable housing.
While Wheat Ridge is no longer a
predominantly agricultural community,
the relics of that history can still be
seen in the area’s development pattern:
large lots and parks, relatively low-
density, auto-oriented commercial, and
urban agriculture uses. As Wheat Ridge
continues to evolve, consideration
for the past should be balanced with
looking to the future.

OTHER PLANNING EFFORTS
The City of Wheat Ridge has developed
several actionable plans that impact the
44th Avenue Subarea. The guidance
from these plans is a key foundation for
the Subarea planning process. More
information on each can be found
below.
ENVISION WHEAT RIDGE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
ADOPTED 2019
The City’s Comprehensive Plan, Envision
Wheat Ridge, was adopted in 2009
and establishes high-level visioning
and guidance for Wheat Ridge as it
grows. Envision Wheat Ridge includes
a “Structure Plan,” which guides future
land uses and strategic redevelopment.
The Structure Plan map represents the
key values, goals, and policies; and it
balances current conditions, guidance
from previous subarea planning efforts,
community input, and market forecasts
and analyses. The 44th Avenue Subarea
incorporates many of the same key
designations, including Parks and Open
Space, Neighborhoods, Mixed-Use
Commercial, and Commercial Corridors
and Centers. Any future comprehensive
plan updates should integrate with the
recommendations of this plan.
10 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN
SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION
The 2019 Neighborhood Revitalization
Strategy established the ongoing “Let’s
Talk Resident Engagement Program”
which gives residents the opportunity
to provide input on actions that
could be taken by the City specific to
respondent’s neighborhoods. From
October 2021 through March 2022,
City Staff engaged the residents of
the Fruitdale and Anderson Park
neighborhoods to gather feedback.
The final milestone prior to formalizing
an action plan was Round 2 of
Engagement, which overlapped with
the first Public Meeting (Joint Open
House) and helped to initiate the initial
discussions for this Subarea Plan. The
engagement blitz report outlines the
most frequent topics, as well as eight
potential action plan items. The top
four action items from each community
follow.

NEIGHBORHOOD
REVITALIZATION STRATEGY (NRS)
ADOPTED 2019
FRUITDALE
SUBAREA PLAN
ADOPTED 2007
BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN
MASTER PLAN
ADOPTED 2017
The 2019 NRS Update focused on
Wheat Ridge’s neighborhoods and
assets. It addressed community
contentment, the City’s strengthening
real estate market, primary corridors,
and neighborhoods. Two priority
recommendations are being
implemented through this Plan:
»Complete corridor plan for West 44th Avenue from Wadsworth Boulevard to Youngfield Street.
»Design neighborhood-based
engagement, communication and
planning strategies.
This Plan sets a vision for the Fruitdale
Subarea, which is about one-third of
the 44th Avenue Subarea boundary.
Though nearly 16 years old, many of the
recommendations are still applicable such
as:
»Support revitalization and redevelopment of properties on West 44th Avenue.
»Implement commercial/residential
rehabilitation programs.
»Address traffic flow and pedestrian safety.
Much of the remainder of the Fruitdale
Subarea Plan is outdated because it did not
align with the reality of the market, which
gave reason to re-assess the area through
this Plan. The Fruitdale Subarea Plan is
replaced by this 44th Avenue Subarea Plan.
This Plan serves as guidance to
construct, enhance, and improve bicycle
and pedestrian connections throughout
the City. The Plan addresses:
»Gaps in the pedestrian and bicycle network.
»Transit access and connectivity for
high priority destinations such as
schools, parks, and business areas.
»Pedestrian and cyclist safety improvements throughout Wheat Ridge.
This Subarea Plan takes into
consideration the guidance from the
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan to
further implement applicable strategies
that can better the Subarea.

livability for residents, business owners,
and the City.
RACE AND EQUITY PLAN TASK FORCE
The Task Force is directed to carry out
a thorough review of City policies,
services, and ordinances to identify
policies and practices that contribute
to discrimination. The Task Force will
report recommendations, including
ways in which success will be measured
toward becoming a more inclusive and
responsive community.
OPEN SPACE MANAGEMENT PLAN
This Plan was updated through a long-
range planning process to create a
bold vision for the future of the Wheat
Ridge Greenbelt, Clear Creek Trail,
and open space assets. The plan will
address current challenges, determine
strategies for meeting future demands,
and establish priorities for achieving
the community’s shared vision. Key
elements include:
»Proposed Areas of Riparian and Habitat Restoration.
»Potential New Trailheads and Trail
Connections.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING STRATEGY
AND ACTION PLAN
This Strategy and Action Plan looks at
housing affordability in the community
and identifies strategies toward
challenges that were identified. The
plan primarily:
»Assesses housing affordability challenges in the community.
»Identifies potential tools and
resources that could help address
challenges if they exist.
»Outlines action steps that match the right tools and resources to the challenges.

Summarized on theses pages, the
planning process for the 44th Avenue
Subarea Plan included three major
phases: 1) Foundation, 2) Synthesis,
and 3) Implementation. These same
three phases are also used to organize
the major components of the Plan as
described below.
Outreach Strategy Diagram
Process and
Organization
PHASE 1: FOUNDATION
A strong foundation of research,
analysis, and input was needed to gain
an understanding of all aspects of the
Subarea. Essential to the completion
of this plan, the initial foundation
phase began in January 2022 and
concluded in June 2022. During this
six-month period, a wealth of input
and knowledge on the Subarea was
collected; it is summarized in Chapter 2
of this document.
EARLY COMMUNITY INPUT
Community members and residents
led the initial charge in advising on
current conditions, challenges, and
opportunities the Subarea faces today.
Community input also established what
the Plan should prioritize most moving
forward. This initial input helped guide
and shape the rest of the project.
EXISTING CONDITIONS SCAN
Early analysis included a detailed
look into the existing conditions of
the Subarea, including topics related
to identity, character, development
patterns, land use and market
economics, safety, access, parks,
trails, and community amenities.
Highlighted in the following chapter,
various field studies, data analysis, and
mapping were conducted. Technical
quantitative analyses are included
in the Appendices of this document
including a traffic memo and economic
existing conditions analysis which were
conducted during this initial phase.
VISIONING
In tandem with gathering input and
scanning existing conditions, guiding
principles and key themes were drafted
to establish the envisioned direction.
Heavily influenced by community input,
this early visioning set the roadmap for
the Subarea Plan and what its primary
areas of focus would be.
KEY TRENDS AND CHALLENGES
The last step of creating the foundation
for the Subarea Plan was identifying key
trends and challenges in the Subarea
that would be relevant 5-20 years
in the future. These were identified
through community input, the existing
conditions scan, and other planning
documents.
14 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN
SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION
PHASE 2: SYNTHESIS
With the foundation of the Subarea
Plan established, the next step in the
planning process was to synthesize all
of the information and input collected.
The synthesis phase culminated in an
overarching strategy diagram comprised
of a host of preliminary strategies.
These initial strategies paved the way
for most of the Plan’s recommendations.
This phase lasted from June 2022
and concluded in October 2022 and
resulted in achievable outcomes to
strive toward in the coming 5-20 years,
including recommendations that will
guide investment.
OVERARCHING STRATEGY
As an initial part of the thesis,
community priorities and key themes
were organized into broader categories
exploring land use, character, mobility
and access. These categories helped
to frame the initial strategies that were
vetted by the community during the
second phase of engagement.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The synthesis of all the previously
collected information and refinement
of the overarching strategy led to the
creation of final recommendations
for the Subarea Plan. These
recommendations, organized under
major categories, topics, and strategies,
detail instructions on how to achieve the
vision for the Subarea, and are detailed
in Chapter 3 of this document.
PHASE 3: IMPLEMENTATION
Based on the direction from the
Foundation and Synthesis phases, the
final phase of the Subarea Plan focused
on Implementation to ensure the Plan’s
success. To do so, consideration was
given not only to phasing, funding,
and responsibility, but also to other
concurrent planning efforts and the
ability of the City and the capacity of
staff to affect change over the 20-year
planning horizon.
PRIORITIZATION
Prioritization first considers the guiding
principles and key themes from the
community, and then to three feasibility
considerations: 1) the likely timetable
for implementation, 2) the ability to
fund the recommendations, and 3) the
responsibility for administering the
recommendations.
FUNDING
Execution of the Subarea Plan cannot
happen without funding. Diverse
funding strategies will be necessary
to realize the recommendations and
goals set by the Plan, and will help
to ensure that what it calls for can be
completed. While the City of Wheat
Ridge may provide some funding for
the implementation of the Plan, it is
important to recognize that not all of
the necessary steps will be funded
this way. Other sources of funding
are planned to come from working
closely with private property owners,
developers, community organizations,
businesses, and other
stakeholders.
15
The 44th Avenue Subarea Plan was informed by a
robust community engagement process as well as a
study of the existing conditions and technical analyses.
This Chapter summarizes the community outreach
conducted during the Subarea planning process and
presents the findings from the existing conditions scan.
While community input helped to create the vision
for the future of the Subarea, the technical analysis
provided a lens of feasibility to ensure that vision was
grounded in reality. Additional information for these
topics can be found in the appendices.
INPUT AND ANALYSIS 2
INPUT OVERVIEW
A variety of community and stakeholder
input was essential in developing this
Subarea Plan:
»An Advisory Committee oversaw the project to make sure it was on track and reflecting the community’s needs.
»Smaller focus groups allowed
more targeted conversations
with community members at key
milestones in the process and ahead
of larger community engagement
opportunities.
»Open house-style community meetings then allowed for the
Community Input and Key Takeaways
community to directly share their
voice with the project team, sharing
their opinions and providing feedback
at key points in the process.
»Pop-up or intercept events brought
the planning process directly to the
community at other popular, existing
events for individuals who may
otherwise have not known about the
Plan.
»The What’s Up Wheat Ridge online
platform allowed the project team to
cast the broadest net, getting project
information out to a wide audience
and providing input opportunities
through surveys.

OUTREACH METHODS
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
An advisory committee consisting of
15 representatives from local residents,
Subarea businesses, and key community
organizations. These individuals were
identified and appointed by staff and
elected officials including the Mayor
and District IV council members. It was
developed to allow more detailed input
from stakeholders who could help guide
the process and provide a unique lens
when vetting preliminary draft content.
These meetings provided a starting
point for many of the topics and
themes found in this Subarea Plan. This
began with confirming the proposed
process and engagement methods,
included formation of and evaluation of
preliminary strategies, and concluded
with a review of the input summary and
prioritization of the recommendations.
A summary of the Advisory Committee
discussions and themes can be found in
Appendix B.
»A bi-annual business walk brought
engagement to the businesses
themselves along the West 44th
Avenue corridor.
Events and activities that were held
in-person were replicated in the online
format to ensure equitable access to
the process, and allowed community
members to participate more
conveniently. A description of those
various outreach methods and their key
roles follows.

Resident comments from Community
Meeting #3
FOCUS GROUPS
Two rounds of focus group meetings
were comprised of neighboring
residents and business owners who
live or operate in and adjacent to the
Subarea. There was an open call for
participants advertised for about a
month and broadcast through several
media channels. All people who applied
were invited to participate. These
groups were convened to allow for
more targeted conversations ahead of
the broader community engagement.
The smaller focus groups allowed for
more intimate conversations between
active community members, the
City, and the consultant team. These
groups met ahead of the first two open
house meetings to preview findings
and plan principles, strategies, and
recommendations, and offer insight and
refinements. A summary of the Focus
Group discussions and themes can be
found in Appendix B.
COMMUNITY MEETINGS – JOINT
OPEN HOUSE
Three public open-house-style meetings
were conducted during the planning
process, where attendees influenced
the vision for the Plan, provided
feedback on the Subarea Plan strategies
and goals, and responded to the
recommended planning framework and
draft recommendations. Attendees were
able to engage openly and directly
with City staff and the consultant team
with candid conversations, sticky notes,
comment cards, and various dot-
preference activities. All of the events
were run jointly along other concurrent,
local planning projects to increase foot
traffic and capture residents who may
have not known about the planning
effort, but were attending for the other
related effort. These meetings allowed
stakeholders - many of whom lived in
the Subarea - to engage with City staff
and the consultants directly. A summary
of the Open House discussions and
themes can be found in Appendix B.
COMMUNITY POP-UP /
INTERCEPT EVENTS
Other community events that took
place during the planning process were
utilized to capture community attention,
introduce community members to the
Plan, and solicit their input. Designed
to intercept people at a variety of
times and locations these included the
following:
»Wheat Ridge Recreation Center on a Saturday morning
»Performances in the Park on a
Wednesday evening
»Carnation Festival on a Saturday morning
»Dumpster Day on a Saturday morning

Community Open House Meeting #2
At these events, City staff and the
consultant team set up interactive
stations for visitors to learn about the
Subarea Plan and provide thoughtful
comments. A summary of the
discussions and themes can be found in
Appendix B.
BIANNUAL BUSINESS WALK(S)
Every two years, the City of Wheat
Ridge’s Economic Development staff
hosts a business walk, where volunteers
walk business-to-business throughout
Wheat Ridge. During this walk, owners
and employees are asked three
questions: 1) How is Business?, 2) What
do you like about doing business in
the area?, and 3) What improvements
are needed in the area? Coinciding
with this Subarea Plan, members of the
project team and advisory committee
walked the majority of the 44th
Avenue commercial corridor, engaging
with 35 businesses, to gain a better
understanding into the businesses’
insights on the Subarea. This occurred
both during the “official” business walk
day on June 14, 2022, as well as on
subsequent days to ensure as broad of
coverage as possible.
The conversations from the business
walk, both with owners and employees,
provided a key insight into a historically
difficult-to-engage community. While
some businesses are active within local
Chambers of Commerce and Business
Associations, many are not and their
voices often go unheard. The findings
from these conversations are often more
qualitative in nature, but helped to
round out of the overall understanding
of the nature and role of commercial
uses within the Subarea.
21
WHAT’S UP WHEAT RIDGE
ONLINE ACTIVITIES
An important part of the engagement
process was the ability to reach as
many people as possible, knowing
that single in-person events were
bound to miss large sections of the
community. The project page on the
WhatsUpWheatRidge.com website
included background information, a
project schedule, ways to reach out
directly to the project team, and a
number of interactive, online surveys
throughout the planning process. The
page launched ahead of the project
start in early 2022, and by November
had been visited by around 2,500
individuals, with 115 people choosing
to actively participate in the surveys.
Through each step of the planning
process and for every community
meeting, parallel engagement was
available online. Multiple online surveys
were administered during the project.
The first set of surveys launched in
February 2022 during the early phase
of the project and focused on high-level
visioning and geolocated comments
and concerns within the Subarea. The
second survey launched alongside
the second public meeting, seeking
feedback on the overarching strategy.
The third survey launched alongside
its parallel open-house and covered
specific recommendations. Each survey
remained open for several weeks.
Online activity summaries can be found
in Appendix C.
CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING
COMMISSION
Two study sessions were conducted
with both City Council and the Planning
Commission in May and December
2022 to ensure elected officials were
aware of the process, progress, findings,
and recommendations, and to offer
opportunity for additional feedback.

INTRODUCTION
The existing conditions scan included an analysis of the
Subarea’s existing land uses; an exploration of the current
market economics; a review of both the existing and proposed
mobility, safety, and access infrastructure; as well as an inventory
of the Subarea’s parks, trails, and community amenities. This
scan was important in revealing critical assets, challenges, and
opportunities for the area from a more technical standpoint.
The following includes a high-level summary and review of the
existing conditions.

24 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN
SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION
Starting in the 1960s, the Subarea
began to rapidly transition from an
agrarian to suburban community.
During the subsequent decades,
larger plots of farmland were sold
and typically developed into single-
unit housing. Several plots are still
undeveloped particularly within the
northwest portion of the Subarea. As a
result, the built form within the Subarea
varies significantly. Most homes were
constructed in the 1970s, 1980s and
1990s in a classic ranch style. There
are also a relatively large number
of duplexes within the area. Newer
housing developments from the early
2000s, such as Fruitdale Patio Homes
and Garrison Village Condos, have
been larger duplexes or four-plexes
mainly in a simple builder’s colonial
or neo-eclectic style. Examples of late
20th century small apartment buildings
and modern townhomes can also be
found in the area. Nearly all housing
is accessed from its street frontage
and none of the area’s residential
neighborhoods are alley-loaded. The
exceptions include new townhome
developments, such as Riverside Terrace
and Clear Creek Terrace.
As neighborhoods were built out,
commercial services along the major
thoroughfares (West 44th Avenue
and Kipling Street) were established
to support those residents. Highly
dispersed along these two major
corridors, commercial and industrial
buildings are primarily single-story,
unadorned strip-mall style structures.
Most have parking located between the
building and the street. There is little
distinct commercial character within
the area, with most buildings being
constructed more than two decades ago.
Building heights in the Subarea range
between one and five stories with the
majority being between one and two
stories. The primary heights by area are:
»1-2 story commercial on West 44th Avenue and Kipling Street;
»2 story apartments and townhomes
on West 44th Avenue;
»1-2 story single-unit, duplexes, and townhomes in the neighborhoods;
»2-3 story apartments and hotels on
Kipling Street, the highest near
I-70; and
»A 5-story office at Kipling Street and 43rd Avenue and a 4-5 story hotel and public storage facility on the western edge.

LAND USE, ZONING, AND
URBAN RENEWAL AREAS
LAND USE PATTERNS
A variety of land uses can be found
intermixed within the 44th Avenue
Subarea. The major uses are single-unit
residential, agricultural, commercial, open
space, institutional, and industrial. The
map on the next page illustrates where
these uses are located within the Subarea.
The residential portions of the Subarea
are split into two main neighborhoods:
east of Kipling Street is what is considered
the Anderson Park neighborhood while
west of Kipling Street is the Fruitdale
neighborhood. Both neighborhoods
extend north and south of West 44th
Avenue, with the majority of the housing
stock between West 44th Avenue and
I-70. Smaller pockets of residential uses
also exist on the far west side of the
Fruitdale neighborhood, nestled south of
West 44th Avenue between the Greenbelt
lakes and the commercial areas. Much of
the very low density lots in these areas are
zoned as Agricultural, but are represented
as Residential on the map.
Commercial uses within the Subarea are
primarily located along the major corridors
on West 44th Avenue and Kipling Street.
Two significant nodes of commercial also
exist at the two I-70 off-ramps in the area
at Tabor and Kipling Streets.
Open space uses are well distributed
throughout the Subarea, particularly
along the southern edge and in the
more agricultural parts of the Subarea
including Clear Creek Greenbelt,
Anderson Park, Fruitdale Park, Prospect
Park, and Tabor Lake.
Industrial land uses are relatively
minimal and concentrated near the
I-70 ramp at Kipling Street and in the
eastern portion of the Subarea where
West 48th Avenue ends east of I-70 and
Carr Street. There are some commercial
uses that could be described as light
industrial on the western edge as well.

ZONING
The majority of the zoning within the
Subarea is rather piecemeal. Residential
and agricultural zones apply to most
of the existing housing in the area,
as well as some of the larger parks.
Residential districts primarily fall within
low density zoning designations,
Residential-One (R-1), Residential-One
C (R-1C), and Residential-Two (R-2),
which allow heights up to thirty-five
feet (35’). Residential-Three (R-3) can
be found intermixed, mostly near West
44th Avenue, which allows multi-unit
housing, also up to thirty-five feet
(35’) in height. The agricultural zoning
designations, Agricultural-One (A-1) and
Agricultural-Two (A-2), cover much of
the western half of the area and allow
large lot single-unit/estate living and
agricultural uses.
Commercial zones are primarily
located on West 44th Avenue and
Kipling Street, but the variety creates
a patchwork quilt effect and the two
corridors include almost all of the City’s
commercial zones: Neighborhood
Commercial (NC), Restricted
Commercial (RC), Commercial-One
(C-1), Commercial-Two (C-2), Mixed
Use-Neighborhood (MU-N), and Mixed
Use-Commercial (MU-C). East of Kipling
Street there is a relatively uniform
commercial zone district designation
of C-1, creating some uniformity.
In contrast, a wide range of zone
district designations exist along West
44th Avenue, west of Kipling Street,
potentially contributing to a rather
eclectic, and at times mismatched,
character. While current commercial
configurations are more auto-centric,
commercial zone district destinations
would require new development to be
significantly more pedestrian-oriented
with build-to, sidewalk, and streetscape
requirements though there may not
be the necessary incentives. Industrial
Employment (I-E) zoning is currently
restricted to the northeastern corner of
the area, adjacent to I-70.
In addition to a wide range of general
zone districts, the Subarea also includes
over a dozen planned developments,
including Planned Residential
Developments (PRDs), Planned
Commercial Developments (PCDs), and
Planned Industrial Developments (PIDs).
Planned developments are customized
zone districts which include use and
design standards specific only to a single
property or site. Prior to 2010, planned
developments were the only option for
a commercial zone change and the only
option for a residential zone change over
1 acre in size.
URBAN RENEWAL AREAS
Two Urban Renewal Areas (URAs) exist
within the Subarea. The I-70 Kipling
Corridors Plan is largely north of the
Subarea but also extends within the
Subarea along Kipling and Youngfield
Streets. At the west end of the Subarea,
the West 44th Ward Road Plan is
bounded generally by I-70, West 44th
Avenue and Tabor Street. These districts
offer great potential for development
and redevelopment and the potential
for tax-increment financing.
The City’s Urban Renewal Authority
bonded against tax-increment revenue
in 2021 for the I-70 Kipling Corridors
Plan providing for $37.5 million in
public improvement projects within
that urban renewal boundary. Some of
the bond projects lie north and south
of the Subarea; those projects within
the Subarea include improvements to
the Youngfield Street bridge over Clear
Creek and aesthetic improvements to
the Youngfield corridor. The West 44th
Avenue corridor between Tabor and
Kipling Streets is not part of an Urban
Renewal Area.

DEMOGRAPHICS
As of 2021, the 44th Avenue Subarea
has a population of 5,248 residents,
which accounts for 16 percent of
the citywide population. From 2000
to 2021, the Subarea decreased in
population by 373 residents, but has
experienced recent growth in housing
units in the past decade.
The Subarea has a younger population
compared to the citywide average. The
median age is 38.5 years compared
to 48.5 years citywide. However,
the Subarea has only increased in
population over the past decade in age
cohorts older than 55 years old, which
mirrors the citywide trends. Residents of
the Subarea are predominantly white,
but there is a more diverse mixture of
racial and ethnic residents than citywide.
For example, 28 percent of residents
are of Hispanic origin in the Subarea
compared to 23 percent citywide. There
is a lower percentage of residents in the
Subarea (age 25 and above) that have
college degrees (36.9% compared to
46.3% citywide).
The residents in the Subarea live in
2,488 households with an average
household size of 2.11 residents, which
is the same as the city average. The
average household income in the
Subarea is $65,412, which is lower
than the citywide average of $89,953.
Only thirty percent of the households
in the Subarea are owner-occupied,
which is much lower than the citywide
average forty-eight percent. Three key
uses were evaluated in terms of the
Subarea market conditions. The current
real estate trends for office, retail/
general commercial, and residential are
described below.
MARKET ECONOMICS
One of the primary objectives of the
Subarea Plan is to promote economic
vitality within the Subarea to support
the surrounding neighborhoods
and citywide economic health. The
Subarea’s current economic role is
as a location for residents to access
retail goods businesses, and auto
and service-oriented businesses such
as a dry cleaner, barber shop/beauty
salon, etc. The Subarea has a diverse
mixture of businesses, some of which
are not prevalent in other parts of the
city. However, the area has lacked
reinvestment and growth in business
activity in the recent past.
CURRENT ECONOMIC
CONDITIONS
The 44th Avenue Subarea currently has
2,797 jobs located in the Subarea and
over 300 businesses located within it.
The mixture of businesses is diverse
with many service-oriented businesses
within different industries. The industries
with the most jobs in the Subarea are
professional services, retail trade, and
construction.

Three key uses were evaluated in terms
of the Subarea market conditions.
The current real estate trends for
office, retail/general commercial, and
residential are described below.
REAL ESTATE MARKET
CONDITIONS
RESIDENTIAL
As of 2021, the Subarea has 2,621
housing units. Most of these units
(approx. 60-65%) are single-unit
detached and attached for-sale housing
units. The remaining 35-40% of units are
multi-unit and for rent. The single-unit
detached and attached housing varies
greatly in age and condition from historic
early 1900s homes to recently built
duplexes and triplexes in the 1990s and
early 2000s. There was one new for-sale
housing development in the Subarea in
the past decade. The Riverside Terrace
and Clear Creek Terrace townhomes
near West 44th Avenue and Tabor Street
were constructed from 2019 to 2021.
These homes sold for prices between
$350,000 and $570,000. Almost all of
the multi-unit apartments in the Subarea
were built in the 1960s and 1970s. The
inventory of multi-unit apartments in
the Subarea is approximately 1,000
units. These units rent on average for
$1,090 per month, or $1.38 per square
foot. The citywide average rental rate
for apartments is $1,501, or $1.81 per
square foot.
OFFICE
The Subarea has an inventory of
265,643 square feet of leasable office
space, which is 17% of the citywide
inventory. The office space currently has
a vacancy rate of 12.4 percent, which is
higher than the citywide average. The
office spaces in the Subarea rent for an
average of $20 per square foot, which
is just below the citywide average. The
Subarea also has a collection of owner-
occupied office spaces that may not be
captured in the inventory due to the
limitability of the data. There has been
no recent new office development in
the Subarea, but some reinvestment/
renovation of existing office buildings.
RETAIL/GENERAL COMMERCIAL
The Subarea has inventory of 340,066
square feet of retail and general
commercial space, which is thirteen
percent of the citywide inventory. The
retail and commercial space currently
has a vacancy rate of 4.2 percent, which
is lower than the citywide average. The
retail and commercial spaces in the
Subarea rent for an average of $17 per
square foot, which is lower than the
citywide average of $23 per square foot
and may be because of the older age
or condition of buildings. The Subarea
has experienced more retail/commercial
development activity than new office
development in the past decade
including the expansion of the Swiss
Flower Shop at West 44th Avenue and
Jellison Street.
31
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
An analysis of the economic
development opportunities in the
44th Avenue Subarea was conducted
in 2022 as part of Phase 1 of the Plan
and is included in Appendix G. The
analysis identified potential catalyst
sites based on economic and land use
metrics. Each parcel in the Subarea
was evaluated through a series of maps
to better understand the potential
for development, redevelopment,
or reinvestment in the future. It also
included recommendations for the
construction of new buildings, increases
in density, and/or investment to existing
buildings or sites focused on increasing
the viability of the business and quality
of the community experience.
Three leading variables, described on
this page, Economic Value, Desired
Land Use, and Building and Community
Character were assessed and scored
for each parcel in the Subarea. These
scores were then aggregated into a
single final score ranging from 0 (low) to
9 (high) measuring overall opportunity
for economic development as shown on
the map on the following page.
Economic Value: Evaluates the
economic feasibility for change based
on:
»Building Vacancy - Identifies if buildings on each parcel are fully occupied, partially occupied, or vacant.
»Building Tenancy - Identifies if a
building/parcel is used by the owner
or rented to tenant(s).
»Property Value - Compares the total market value (land and improvement) of each property to the average value of the Subarea by property type.
»Building to Land Value Ratio –
compares the improvement (building)
value to the land value using the
Assessor’s market valuation for each.
Land Use Opportunity:
Evaluates potential for development or
redevelopment based on existing land
use characteristics.
»Parcel Size - Determine if there is capacity to support development.
»Floor Area Ratio (FAR) - Compare the
size of a building to the size of the
parcel.
»Visibility - Assesses the visibility of parcel from West 44th Avenue and Kipling Street.
»Access - Measures the vehicular
access for parcels along West 44th
Avenue and Kipling Street.
Community Character:
Identifies existing uses that help
define the community and should be
preserved.
»Civic and community uses such as parks and open space, schools, and government buildings.
»Findings from the Overall Economic
Development Opportunity Analysis
showed that:
» Parcels along West 44th Avenue and Kipling Street tend to have higher scores, suggesting these
areas are the most advantageous. »Areas tended to score lower as they moved away from Kipling Street and West 44th Avenue, and/or moved into residential neighborhoods, except areas to the northeast of the Subarea where there is significant industrial uses. »Other areas with high scores can act as catalyst sites especially when aggregated together to accommodate development such as the industrial area in the northeast of the Subarea, and the high scoring single parcels not located directly along major corridors.

SAFETY AND ACCESS
Safety and access are two critical
components in understanding the
function of the Subarea today. Safety
considerations relate to transportation
improvements, crime, and community
perceptions. Accessibility relates to
transit, walking, and biking infrastructure
within and to the Subarea. This section
describes both the infrastructure and
services available within the Subarea,
and notes those that are missing. Safety
and access conclusions were informed
by Traffic Analysis found in Appendix D.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Public safety has been a consistent
voiced concern of the community
through the Subarea planning process.
Frequently heard themes include
increased homelessness, perceptions of
increased crime (a Denver metro-wide
concern), safety of pedestrians and
cyclists on the major roadways in the
Subarea (addressed in the next section),
safety within the neighborhood parks,
and concerns associated with the uses
adjacent to the I-70 off-ramps.
Increased homelessness and crime
have been a regional and even national
hot topic, particularly in the societal
reemergence from the COVID-19
pandemic. The Subarea is not immune
to these concerns, particularly on the
major commercial corridors of West
44th Avenue and Kipling Street. These
corridors do face some deficiencies
in terms of the principles of Crime
Prevention Through Environmental
Design (CPTED), which are a set of
strategies that can be used to help
mitigate crime and promote safety
through design. The four main principles
are natural surveillance (making sure
areas are visible and well lit), natural
access control (guiding people and
vehicles clearly through a space),
territorial reinforcement (creating a sense
of ownership over spaces by delineating
public from private), and maintenance
(preventing deterioration to create a
more positive community image, i.e. the
Broken Windows Theory). In partnership
with Wheat Ridge Police Department
(WRPD), crime data going back to 2014
was reviewed and compared over recent
years to confirm perceptions versus
realities as it relates to safety statistics.

SECTION TWO: INPUT AND ANALYSIS
“No camping” sign outside open space
Improved pedestrian crossing to Boyd’s
Crossing Park
Some residents voiced concern with the
presence of undesirable uses adjacent
to the neighborhood parks, particularly
1) Anderson Park, which is abutted by
car dealership and rental locations, a
cannabis store, and a massage parlor,
as well as 2) Fruitdale Park, which is
next door to the hotels and motels
associated with the I-70 offramp at
Kipling Street. There is strong support
for more family-supportive uses near
these parks.
Finally, there is a perception that the
uses associated with the two I-70 off-
ramps, and particularly the TA Travel
Center truck stop, bring additional
crime and unknown or transient people
into the neighborhood. This perception
is increased by reports of human
trafficking at truck stops. Perceptions
from the 1980s hold strong despite the
fact that trends do not show an increase
in crime over time.
With an all-government approach, the
City of Wheat Ridge Police Department
has recently worked on issues of
concern around I-70 and Kipling,
massage parlors, noise complaints, and
criminal activity in and around hotels; all
of which impact the Subarea.
The City of Wheat Ridge Police
Department (WRPD) is actively
addressing the safety issues in the I-70
and Kipling area and will continue to
collaborate with partners with efforts
like:
»Several programs and resources to address homelessness issues in the I-70 and Kipling and Clear Creek greenbelt areas, including the hiring of two City staff to support homeless navigation, an increase in WRPD police officers and Park Rangers dedicated to both areas, mental health co-responders supporting the area, targeted support for related area business issues, and City participation in the “Heading Home” regional program to address homelessness.
»Increased resources for more frequent
area clean-up efforts including
coordination with the Colorado
Department of Transportation (CDOT)
and community volunteers for areas
in the right-of-way, and continuation
of the TLC program in partnership
with Localworks to provide grants for
neighborhood clean-up days in the
area.
»Changes to lodging regulations to hold hotel and motel ownership accountable with the goal of ensuring that those who stay at hotels do not negatively impact the community (e.g., City Ordinance 1723 that requires minimum facilities for long term lodging).

ROADWAY SAFETY - CRASH
ANALYSIS
Three years of crash data from the
Denver Region Council of Governments
(DRCOG) (January 1, 2017 to December
31, 2019) in the Subarea were analyzed
to provide a broader understanding of
roadway safety in the Subarea. Major
findings from the analysis showed that:
»The highest amount of crashes were at West 44th Avenue and Kipling Street, Kipling Street and I-70 ramps, and Kipling Street and West 48th Avenue.
»There were no trends in the location
of bicycle- and pedestrian-related
crashes.
»The average daily traffic volumes in the study area range from 10,000 to 20,000 vehicles per day, with higher volumes on West 44th Avenue east of I-70.
All of the findings can be found in
Appendix D of this document. These
findings led to a number of conclusions,
but primarily showed that West 44th
Avenue and Kipling Street are a major
source traffic volume, as well as safety
concerns for the Subarea.

ACCESS - TRANSIT NETWORK
An analysis of the Subarea’s bus
routes (Route 100 and Route 44) was
conducted and showed that:
»Route 44 had a 30 minute headway during rush hour and a 1 hour headway at all other times. This routes has several stops within the study area, and
»Route 100 has less frequent service,
with a 1 hour headway every weekday.
»Both routes connect to other nearby transit options.
»The majority of bus stops in the
Subarea for both routes have basic
amenities, but lack additional
amenities such as shelters or
bike racks.
The highest ridership stops for both
routes are along Kipling Street, within
proximity to West 44th Avenue. All
of findings from this analysis can be
found in Appendix D. The findings in
this analysis suggested that while the
Subarea does have some access to
transit, it is lacking in amenities for ease
of use, pedestrian safety and comfort,
and accessibility. Routes only operate
along West 44th Avenue and Kipling
Street, diminishing accessibility greatly.

BICYCLE NETWORK
The Clear Creek Trail passes through the
southern part of the project study area.
This is a regional trail that provides an
off-street connection between the South
Platte River Trails in Adams County
to the City of Golden. There are also
local trails that travel through Fruitdale
Park, Prospect Lake Park, and Anderson
Park. There are no existing bike lanes in
the project area, but there are several
proposed low-stress bike corridors for
future implementation as part of the
existing Bicycle and Pedestrian Master
Plan. Bike lanes are proposed on West
44th Avenue east of Kipling Street and
several other locations would provide
cyclists with access to the corridor and
the Clear Creek Trail if implemented.
The map at right displays the existing
and proposed bicycle infrastructure
within the Subarea.
PEDESTRIAN NETWORK
The sidewalk network on West 44th
Avenue through the study area is
built out, but contains gaps and
inadequacies. The existing streetscape
on West 44th Avenue varies. In many
locations the street has a 4-foot-wide
sidewalk with a narrow hardscape buffer
zone (typically 2 to 3 feet wide) with
no street trees or street furniture. The
sidewalk and buffer were installed by
the City in the early 1990s.
The sidewalk along Kipling Street is
inconsistent, with a segment missing on
the east side of the road between West
44th Avenue and 48th Avenue. In 2016,
the City-constructed a 10-foot attached
multi-use trail on the east side of Kipling
Street from 32nd Avenue to West 44th
Avenue. Sidewalks width elsewhere are
narrower, and there are no detached
sidewalks and no streetscape along
Kipling Street in the Subarea.
Sidewalks are also inconsistent on
several local roadways. Many of the
streets on the west side of the Subarea
do not have sidewalks at all making
pedestrian access to West 44th Avenue
unsafe and difficult.

The 44th Avenue Subarea is served
by a variety of community-oriented
amenities, including schools and
adjacent recreation centers, parks and
open space, and historic assets.
The Subarea is home to four schools:
two elementary schools, one elementary
through middle school, and one
elementary through high school. All
have relatively small student bodies and
non-traditional curriculum: Compass
Montessori is a K-8 public charter school
focused on Montessori education,
Mountain Phoenix Community School
is a K-8 public charter school focused
on Waldorf education, Alpine Valley
is a private K-12 school, and Peak
Expeditionary School at Pennington is a
PreK-5 public school. Three larger, more
traditional public schools are located
south of the Subarea.
Subarea residents have immediate
access to three larger parks: Anderson
Park on the east side, Fruitdale Park in
the center, and Prospect Park to the
southwest. The three major parks all
provide unique amenities - Anderson
Park contains an outdoor water play
amenity, Fruitdale Park contains a dog
park, and Prospect Park contains active
sports fields and an accessible lake. In
addition to these primary park spaces,
there is also significant open space
along the Clear Creek Trail. Additional
recreation opportunities are available at
the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center and
sports fields, immediately south of the
Subarea on Kipling Street.
The Subarea’s historic and agricultural
assets include the Baugh House,
Fruitdale Farm, and the Historical Park;
these provide non-traditional community
amenities that reflect the character of
the area.
Amenities and community services
not well represented within the area
include diverse dining, medical facilities,
children’s daycare, and daily services
such as a grocer.

SECTION TWO: INPUT AND ANALYSIS 43
The presence of the Creek is a defining
feature of the area, but the associated
floodplain constrains development. On
the map to the right, areas within the
red boundary and hatch are part of the
100-year floodplain. This designation
means that these areas are predicted
to flood during a 100-year storm,
which has a one-percent chance of
occurring in a given year. This has a
fairly significant impact on development
and redevelopment opportunities along
much of the southern and eastern
edges of the Subarea, as construction
in these areas is subject to special
permitting and all structures often
require cost-prohibitive floodplain
insurance. In addition, although not of
major concern, the entire Subarea is
within the 500-year floodplain, which
has 0.2% annual flood risk.
The Subarea is well served by trails
and open space, particularly along the
Clear Creek corridor. However, there
is significant opportunity for more
trail connections to and through the
northern portion of the Subarea.
NATURAL SYSTEMS
The natural systems and assets that
contribute to the character, safety, and
comfort as well include the tree canopy,
floodplain, trails, and open space.
These are illustrated in the map on the
following page and described in more
detail below.
A major asset of the 44th Avenue
Subarea and a point of pride for the
community is the area’s substantial tree
canopy. A high density of trees can be
found along the Clear Creek corridor,
within pockets of the residential
neighborhoods, and in large clusters
on some of the traditionally agricultural
properties, such as on Parfet Street.
The tree canopy contributes to many
benefits for the neighborhood and City
of Wheat Ridge, including pedestrian
and bicycle comfort, improved air
quality, reduced urban heat island
effect, and habitat for local fauna. This
important and beloved asset should be
maintained as feasible as the area sees
infill or redevelopment.

in October of 2022, includes mobility
improvements, replacement playground
and pavilions, pickleball courts, and
general beautification improvements.
In part due to these continued and
ongoing investments, the Subarea has
even more access to high quality parks
and recreation amenities. Additionally,
as part of the Let’s Talk program’s
Fruitdale and Anderson Park Work Plan
recommendations, a disc golf course is
being added to the existing
Fruitdale Park.
CURRENT PROJECTS
A few recent improvement projects have
been completed within the Subarea,
enhancing amenities and open space
and addressing roadway infrastructure.
Infrastructural improvements include
the resurfacing of West 44th Avenue at
the onset of this project, and structural
upgrades to the Clear Creek bridge at
West 44th Avenue.
The largest recent improvement,
with some pieces still ongoing, is the
Anderson Park renovation. Following
the 1/2 cent sales tax increase, passed
in 2016, the City of Wheat Ridge
funded a new Renovation Master Plan,
which led to the construction of a new
recreation building and bathhouse
renovation, improved creek access,
new pavilion and stage, and several
mobility improvements, completed in
2019. Current work includes the recently
opened nature play area and flood
mitigation along the creek.
The Subarea’s other large park,
Prospect Park, has a number of
recently completed improvements
equal in scale to that of Anderson
Park. Phase I of the project, which was
completed in 2018, provided new
sports fields, renovated existing fields,
and improved the trail along Clear
Creek. Phase II, which was completed

SECTION TWO: INPUT AND ANALYSIS
The Subarea will see updates to
infrastructure including the Tabor Lake
Trail Construction Project and updates
to the City’s floodplain maps. The Tabor
Lake Trail will be a new addition to the
Wheat Ridge Greenbelt open space
area and will provide updates to the
lake and surrounding open space. The
floodplain maps for Clear Creek, which
runs along the southern boundary
of the Subarea, are currently being
updated to reflect flood-prone areas
in Wheat Ridge. These updates will
aide in implementing floodplain zoning
ordinances, floodplain regulations, and
other land-use controls, as needed, to
reduce potential damages and adverse
development in the floodplain.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS3The following chapter provide an overview of the
Guiding Principles and Recommendations for the
Subarea Plan. The Guiding Principles outline the
overarching values and goals for the plan, while
the Recommendations provide specific actions to
achieve those goals. Additionally, funding strategies
are explored to support the implementation of these
recommendations.
Driving the project and informing the
strategies and recommendations are
five guiding principles. As opposed
to a single vision statement applied
to the entire Subarea, these five
principles were derived from the
community engagement process to
ensure alignment with the various
priorities expressed by the community
throughout the process. The following
principles, outlined to the right in no
order of importance, are intended to
inform recommendations as they apply
to the Subarea or portions thereof.
These five principles were used to
inform the major land use, character,
mobility, and access strategies for the
Subarea. These are detailed on the
following pages.
Guiding
Principles
I. Safety and Comfort (SC)
Address safety (whether a user feels
safe), comfort (whether a user feels
comfortable) and interest (whether a
user is intrigued by or interested in the
experience) to help make the Subarea
more walkable and bikeable for
residents, employees, and visitors.
SAFETY AND
COMFORT
II. Connectivity (C)
Connect residents, employees, and
visitors to destinations in and near
the Subarea through well-connected
pedestrian and bicycle facilities
and improved vehicular and transit
connections.
CONNECTIVITY
50 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN
III. Character and History (CH)
Celebrate the character and history
of the Subarea and promote new
development that helps to reduce
pressure on and is complementary to
existing development.
IV. Local and Small Businesses (LSB)
Provide spaces, infrastructure, and
amenities to support the retention,
growth, and addition of small, local
businesses in strategic locations
throughout the Subarea.
V. Housing Diversity (HD)
Promote retention and creation of a
range of housing options throughout
the Subarea to accommodate a
diversity of residents and households
as well as support businesses within the
Subarea.

SECTION THREE: GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 51
Based on public input and the five guiding principles, the following
recommendations are organized into three major categories:
1) Primary Corridor Investments,
2) Community Subarea Enhancements, and
3) Overall Connectivity Improvements.
TOPICS AND STRATEGIES
Within each category, there are several topics that further organize
individual strategies. Specific recommendations and proposed
improvements are then organized within each strategy. In summary, the
hierarchy of the recommendations follows: category, topic, strategy, and
then recommendation. Each strategy also identifies which guiding principle
or principles are being addressed with the subsequent recommendations.

SECTION THREE: GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 59
OVERVIEW
Large Area Developments are nodes that have been identified
as having the greatest potential for change given several factors,
including scale of individual or aggregated properties, land
utilization, and access/proximity to the major corridors. While
specific recommendations vary from node to node, these large
development areas would:
1) Provide a range of mobility options across a well-connected
network to support new development and redevelopment,
2) Encourage shared parking standards in all development areas
to reduce surface lot coverage, optimize parking utilization, and
promote alternative travel methods, and
3) Respect existing neighborhoods and smaller scale development
through the implementation of architectural step downs,
transitions, and buffers.

STRATEGY A-2
MIXED USE INTERSTATE NODE
The area immediately to the south
of I-70 and Kipling Street presents
a high potential for redevelopment
as a larger-scale mixed-use center.
This, in part, is due to 1) the existing
land use configuration which includes
a concentration of hotel/motels, 2)
proximity to the interstate and major
roadway infrastructure, 3) notable
buffering from traditional detached
single unit development, and 4) the
existing exemption from the City’s
Charter height and density caps.
This suggests that this area could
accommodate a larger population of
residents which, in turn, could support
both existing and future desired
commercial uses in the area.

WEST END MIXED USE NODE
The Travel Center is located along
the West 44th Avenue corridor on
the west end of the Subarea. Due
to the nature of this type of land
use and the challenging on-ramp/
off-ramp configuration, there are a
number of safety, functionality, and
quality of life concerns in this area.
Furthermore, due to the complexity of
the existing condition, the following
recommendations have been organized
into both short- and long-term solutions
to increase safety, minimize pedestrian/
vehicle conflicts, and resolve circulation
issues.
Recommendations:
Short-Term:
»Improved signage and wayfinding.
»Additional sidewalk connectivity and
access.
»Education campaign to inform the
community of the current (2022/2023)
state regarding crime and safety to
match perceptions with reality.
Long-Term:
»Gateway that serves as a major entry
point into the western half of the
study area.
»Traffic calming strategies such as
medians or lane reconfigurations.
»Pedestrian safety prioritization and
access during any redevelopment.
»Mix of uses, prioritizing commercial

SECTION THREE: GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 63
OVERVIEW
One of the primary investments along the major corridors
should be to enhance the existing uses and provide new
community needs through individual property improvements,
infill development, and strategic redevelopment. These types of
changes are key to maintaining the character and ensuring future
success of the corridor. While the specific strategies may vary,
all of these changes and improvements should 1) promote the
overall character and identity of the community through form,
function, and aesthetics and 2) promote positive, community-
centric social, economic, and environmental outcomes for all
residents, businesses, and employees.

Support local serving businesses
STRATEGY B-1
SMALL BUSINESS FOCUS
For the properties along West 44th
Avenue east of Kipling Street, and
including the intersection-adjacent
properties as well, it is important to
focus on a variety of small businesses
and eclectic building forms. As the
primary commercial zone within the
larger Subarea, new smaller-footprint,
infill development and existing property
improvements should focus on retaining
and encouraging new local and/or
small businesses to thrive. Existing zone
district designations do not provide
guidance for primary and secondary
uses. Additional zone districts, or edits
to the existing Mixed Use (MU) zone
districts may be needed to achieve
the outcomes defined in the following
recommendations.
Recommendations:
»A mix of uses, with an emphasis on commercial uses, prioritizing local businesses.
»Prioritization of a range of city-led
strategies that promote and support
local and community serving business.
»Reuse of existing vacant structures where feasible.
»Few or no additional auto-oriented
uses.
»Encourage businesses to incorporate small gathering spaces in underutilized areas on site.
»Accommodation for non-vehicular
travel methods such as walking/biking.
»A gateway that serves as a major entry point into the study area.
»A range of incentives and/or
programs that promote and support
local businesses and community
serving businesses and uses.

OVERVIEW
The pedestrian experience of the area was identified as a major
contributor to the quality of life for existing and future residents
and businesses, and therefore should be a major target of
investment. In addition to safety, walkability and ease of access
discussed under the Overall Connectivity Improvements (OCI),
the experience for a pedestrian along a major corridor should
be memorable and enjoyable, benefiting users of all ages and
abilities.

accommodating current uses that are
less aligned with that vision.
Recommendations:
»Family-oriented commercial uses or
services.
»Supportive residential development
to leverage park and business uses.
»Existing crossing enhancements.
»Parking lot programming to create

CORRIDOR ADJACENT CONNECTIVITY
AND INFRASTRUCTURE
In certain locations along the major
corridors, the existing development
pattern and edge condition may make it
difficult to implement pedestrian-focused
streetscape improvements. In those
instances, the City should work with
existing commercial property owners to
identify primary, public-facing nodes on
private property and to encourage off-
corridor connectivity.
Recommendations:
»Signage and wayfinding on private
properties.
»Pedestrian connections to off-
corridor gathering spaces or
commercial entries through private
property owner partnerships.

STREETSCAPE DESIGN
The streetscape design for the primary
corridors should be focused on the
safety and quality of the experience for
non-motorists, as motorists generally
operate with minimal restrictions in this
area. The following recommendations
synthesize common practice and
prior planning guidance to ensure
a positive pedestrian experience,
while not degrading the overall flow
of traffic. As an implementation of
the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master
Plan, recommendations have been
developed for both sides of West
44th Avenue to reflect the residential
character (north) and shared-use path
opportunities (south). Additional design
refinement can be achieved by updating
the existing Streetscape Design Manual
as well to reflect to vision described by
these recommendations.
Recommendations:
»Both pedestrian and vehicular-
oriented signage and wayfinding
along the corridor.
»Streetscape design elements that are
consistent throughout the corridor.
»Water-wise and climate appropriate
landscaping.
»A wider sidewalk on the south edge
of West 44th Avenue.
»A wider buffer zone on the north
edge of West 44th Avenue.

wide range of housing opportunities
should be integrated throughout the
Subarea to support a healthy land use
mix and more neighborhood-serving
commercial uses along the primary
commercial corridors. Strategies and
recommendations identified in the

Strategy and Action Plan that relate to
1) access to opportunity, and 2) housing
typologies, such as workforce housing,
are especially supported in this Subarea
Plan.
Recommendations:

»Affordable housing and workforce
housing near employment areas to
allow for better accessibility due to
proximity and access to employment
opportunities.

NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIVITY
Poor connectivity off the primary
corridors is primarily due to the older,
large lot parcels and development
patterns not conforming to a more
regular street network seen in
other parts of Wheat Ridge. While
this, in part, reflects some of the
agricultural heritage of the area, there
are opportunities to provide new
connectivity options through new
development specifically. The following
recommendations relate to how
redevelopment of parcels and buildings
can address connectivity issues that may
be present in the area.
Recommendations:
»Additional east/west connections as a part of development review of parcels in alignment with West 45th, 46th, or 47th Avenues.
»Signage and wayfinding elements
for broader Subarea destinations at
the entrance to public rights of way
adjacent to new development.
»Traffic calming measures in conjunction with new development.

both a community amenity as well as
a connectivity alternative for leisurely
movement.
Recommendations:
»A pedestrian/bicycle pathway connecting West 44th Avenue to the I-70 Frontage Road as a “Loop Trail”, which may include Miller Street or Lee Street to the East, Tabor Street, Swadley Street or Robb Street to the West, or a combination of these streets.

CLEAR CREEK TRAIL ACCESS
Access to Clear Creek is limited to
two primary access points at Prospect
Park and Anderson Park. This means
residents and visitors often form
informal social paths to access the
Creek in other locations. Formalizing
creek trail access in strategic locations
can better protect the natural
environment, distribute crowds, and
further support new commercial or
residential development closer to West
44th Avenue.

URBAN RENEWAL AND TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING
The 44th Avenue Subarea is overlapped
by two existing Urban Renewal Areas
(URA); the I-70 Kipling Corridor area
and the West 44th Avenue and Ward
Road area.
»The I-70 Kipling Corridor area
covers a portion of the Subarea
along Kipling Street from I-70 to just
south of West 44th Avenue. The tax
increment generated in this Urban
Renewal Area has been pledged
to a 2021 bond issuance. However,
larger future development in the
area may generate additional tax
increment that may help fund public
improvements identified in the Plan.
»The West 44th Avenue and Ward
Road Plan encompasses the western
edge of the subarea along both sides
of 44th Avenue west of Tabor Street.
URBAN RENEWAL STRATEGIES
The following strategies were
developed specific to the use of URAs
and tax increment to support the plan.
»Explore opportunities to utilize available tax increment revenue within the two existing Urban Renewals Areas that overlap the study area.
»Support development within the
Kipling Mixed Use Node described
in Strategy A-1 by funding public
improvements with any uncommitted
tax increment generated in the district
and by new development spurred by
the Plan.

NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICTS
A crucial piece of a successful business
district is a management organization
with sufficient capacity and resources
(including a dedicated funding source
and adequate staff). This organization
can fill many roles, including
coordination among businesses,
creating and furthering a shared vision,
representing and advocating on behalf
of businesses and property owners,
building partnerships with community
groups, residents and customers,
helping to shape the business mix
(e.g., working with local brokers to fill
storefronts), programming events (e.g.,
street fairs, concerts, movie nights),
marketing the district, improving public
safety (e.g., through public safety
ambassadors), providing additional
street/sidewalk cleaning, advocating
for and/or funding landscaping and
streetscape improvements, and
providing small business assistance.
Street improvements
Neighborhood serving business
Public market / festival event
Collective efforts among business
owners are an important component
of a vibrant commercial district.
Often there are issues and needs
that are shared among businesses
but individually they do not have the
capacity to address them. The West
44th Avenue corridor currently only has
small concentrations of like businesses
that would benefit from collective
efforts. The desire to increase the
presence of neighborhood serving
commercial businesses and limit the
presence of automobile retailers and
service businesses, can be supported
through collective efforts of businesses
in a unified business district(s).
94 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN
NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT STRATEGIES
The following strategies were developed to support formation
and growth of a business district along West 44th Avenue.
»Support and encourage businesses
to form a business improvement
district in order to fund services
provided by the district or to fund
capital improvements. The businesses
and property owners can generate
funding through two approaches. The
first is to assess a mill-levy on existing
properties, which can be up to 5 mills.
The second is to assess a retail sales
fee or public improvement fee which
is a fee applied to retail sales (similar
to a sales tax but it is also taxable).
»Consider creating a general
improvement district or special
improvement district along the
commercial corridor to fund
streetscape and pedestrian
improvements. A general
improvement district or special
improvement district assess a tax
(either based on assessed value
or another applicable measure)
on property owners to fund
improvements. These districts
have tax levels tied to the cost of
improvements and can have fixed
time periods for use.
Neighborhood improvementsMixed-use businesses
»As an initial step, encourage and
support businesses along West 44th
Avenue and/or within the mixed-use
nodes to form a business association
or committee to identify corridor
improvements and issues that need to
be addressed. Work with businesses
and local organizations to develop
and implement corridor brand or
identity.
SECTION THREE: GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 95
IMPLEMENTATION
All of the various strategies and recommendations
illustrated in the previous chapters require further
consideration as to how they will be achieved. In this
Chapter, implementation strategies are summarized on
the following pages through categorized tables. These
tables delineate who is responsible, the timeline of, and
the cost of each action.

To achieve the various recommendations illustrated in Chapter 3,
numerous additional actions - planning efforts, partnerships, and
funding strategies will be required. The following matrix further breaks
down those actions. The Action Plan elevates key recommendations
and creates a 5-10 year work plan. The recommendations in Chapter
3 provide longer-term guidance. As conditions change, there may be
the opportunity to elevate other recommendations to action. Each
action has an associated delivery timeline in which the action will be
completed, and then who will be responsible for taking on that action,
both the lead and the support.

ITEM NO: 4
DATE: April 24, 2023 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: MOTION TO ACCEPT RIGHTS-OF-WAY FROM
ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS ALONG WADWORTH
BOULEVARD AND FROM ADJACENT STREETS BETWEEN 35TH AVENUE AND INTERSTATE 70 PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING
RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________________________ ______________________________ Community Development Director City Manager
ISSUE: Wadsworth Boulevard is a state highway that is owned and maintained by the Colorado
Department of Transportation (CDOT). The City has completed the right-of-way acquisition
process for the Improve Wadsworth project. Certain property owners along Wadsworth have conveyed to the City the necessary rights-of-way by warranty deed, quit claim deed, or court order for the Improve Wadsworth project. City Council needs to officially accept the rights-of-way as City property.
PRIOR ACTION: Starting in 2018, Council has acted several times concerning the acquisition of right-of-way (ROW) for the Improve Wadsworth project including approving a consultant contract and an amendment to that contract with HDR Engineering, Inc, authorizing staff to acquire the ROW, and twice authorizing the use of the City’s eminent domain
authority.
On February 28, 2022, Council authorized a second amendment to HDR’s contract for work that had already been completed, mostly related to assisting the City Attorney with
Wadsworth ROW Acceptance April 24, 2023
Page 2
the eminent domain acquisitions, and to prepare the necessary documents to transfer most of the acquired ROW to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND: On December 10, 2018, Council approved a contract for ROW acquisition services with HDR, Inc. to prepare ROW plans and acquire ROW necessary to construct the Improve Wadsworth
project.
On September 21, 2020, staff updated Council in a study session on the status of the ROW acquisitions, including eleven (11) properties which had either stalled in negotiations or were trending towards stalled negotiations. Settlements were eventually reached on nine (9) of the properties.
The remaining two properties continued through the eminent domain process with the filings
being made on the first property in November 2020. The trial for that property was held in early February 2022 with the City’s valuation of the acquisition being upheld and no additional funds being awarded for damages. That property owner has appealed the ruling and the Appeals Court is currently reviewing that appeal. The appeal doesn’t affect the City’s ownership of the parcel,
just the cost of the acquisition.
The filings for the other property were made in February 2021 with that trial originally scheduled for late March 2022. While preparing for the trial, a mediation conference was held in mid-March 2022 during which the parties reached a mutual agreement on the acquisition cost.
Much of the additional work included in the second amendment to the HDR contract was
completed in 2021 with the eminent domain work completed in March 2022. Since then, HDR
has been working to close the project files, including preparing documents for acceptance of the ROW by the City and then transferring the ROW along Wadsworth to CDOT.
The City will keep any of the acquired ROW that is along the adjacent City-owned streets and remnant parcels that are remaining from the three full acquisitions. Wadsworth is State Highway
121, so much of the ROW along Wadsworth will need to be transferred to CDOT. The Council
must first accept all of the acquired ROW before transferring a single deed to CDOT by a separate action.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the deeds be accepted by the City.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to accept the rights-of-way from the adjacent property owners along Wadsworth Boulevard and from adjacent streets between 35th Avenue and Interstate 70.”

ITEM NO: 5
DATE: April 24, 2023 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: MOTION TO ACCEPT THE TRANSFER OF PROPERTY
FROM THE MILE HIGH FLOOD DISTRICT FOR A PARCEL
OF PROPERTY ALONG LENA GULCH ON THE EAST SIDE OF PARFET STREET PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING
RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_ ______________________________ ______________________________ Community Development Director City Manager
ISSUE: The owners of 3610 Parfet Street reached out to see if the City would be interested in acquiring
the north portion of their property that encompasses Lena Gulch. Most of the area is paved with
concrete and is not usable or maintained by the property owner. In addition, the area is within the floodplain for Lena Gulch, which is all floodway at this location. The floodway is the most restrictive portion of the floodplain as it conveys the flood flows for Lena Gulch. The City benefits from owning this parcel by having more of the floodway in City ownership for
appropriate long-term maintenance, which will be completed by the Mile High Flood District
(MHFD). To facilitate the transfer of this property to the City, MHFD recently acquired the parcel. The Council needs to officially accept the property from MHFD in order for the transfer to take place.
PRIOR ACTION:
None
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The only cost to the City has been staff time and City Attorney’s fees.
Parfet Deed Transfer April 24, 2023
Page 2
BACKGROUND: A Phase 1 environmental site assessment (ESA) was completed to be sure that there was no
obvious contamination on the parcel. The ESA was completed in early 2022 and did not identify
any contamination. A land survey of the existing parcel was completed in March 2022 and the parcel boundaries were finalized in June 2022. MHFD then started negotiating with the owners and their mortgage holder on acquiring the parcel.
Negotiations were completed in January 2023 with a final price of $20,274 for the 6,219 square
foot parcel. All of the pre-acquisition and acquisition costs were covered by MHFD using their
Floodplain Acquisition Program. The closing was completed in February 2023 with the parcel being transferred from the owners of 3610 Parfet Street to MHFD. City staff has since been working through the details on transferring the parcel from MHFD to the City.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the City accept the transfer of the parcel from MHFD. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to accept the transfer of property from the Mile High Flood District for a parcel of property along Lena Gulch on the east side of Parfet Street.”
Or, “I move to deny the transfer of property from the Mile High Flood District for a parcel along Lena Gulch on the east side of Parfet Street for the following reason(s) _________________.”

At the April 4, 2022 Study Session, staff provided information on this topic, including potential
waste management strategies such as enhanced licensing requirements, city-contracted hauling, a
preferred hauler system, and municipal hauling.

BACKGROUND:
At the April 4, 2022 Study Session, City Council provided direction for staff to pursue the
creation and implementation of a community outreach and engagement strategy to better understand what Wheat Ridge residents would like to see regarding waste management options within the City before pursuing any one option in greater detail.
Following the direction provided at the April 4, 2022 Study Session, a staff team conducted a
Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation. Four firms provided proposals and staff interviewed
three firms. After careful review and analysis, HDR Engineering, Inc. is the chosen vendor.
Based upon the project schedule included in the proposal for HDR Engineering, Inc., the project will span approximately eighteen months and will include four major task series:
1. Project Management – HDR will conduct a project initiation meeting and regular
meetings with the project team thereafter to exchange information and provide updates.
2. Public Engagement Plan – HDR will conduct community research and stakeholder interviews to guide the formation of a Public Engagement Plan which will outline strategies, tools, tactics, stakeholders, and key messages to be utilized during the public outreach phase.
3. Public Outreach – HDR will implement a series of public engagement efforts including
an open house, engagement with elected officials and existing waste haulers in Wheat Ridge, digital surveys, and attendance at existing events within the City, culminating in a final report with recommendations.
4. Communication Materials – HDR will develop content for the project’s webpage as
well as social media. HDR will also create materials for mailers, presentations, reports,
and events throughout the project.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the supplemental budget appropriation and contract with HDR Engineering, Inc.

ITEM NO: 7
DATE: April 24, 2023 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: MOTION TO APPROVE PAYMENT TO BANK OF
OKLAHOMA FOR 2023 PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
PAYMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,502,800 FOR THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO SALES AND USE TAX REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2017A PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
____________________________ ________________________ Deputy City Manager City Manager ISSUE: On May 2, 2017, the City closed on Series 2017A Sales and Use Tax Revenue Bonds in the par
amount of $30,595,000 with a net premium of $2,687,079 for a total of $33,282,079. The City’s first interest payment for 2023 is due June 1 in the amount of $321,400 and the principal and second interest payment is due December 1 in the amount of $3,181,400. Funds to cover the 2023 payments are budgeted in the 2023 2E Bond Fund budget. PRIOR ACTION: City Council approved the principal and interest payments on the bonds due in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. On November 26, 2018, City Council approved the second principal and interest payment on the
bonds. On February 13, 2017, City Council approved Resolution No. 02-2017 creating the 2E Bond Fund. The City made the first principal and interest payment on the bonds in November 2017.
On August 22, 2016, City Council approved Council Bill 17-2016, an ordinance giving notice of

and calling for a special municipal election to be held November 8, 2016 and submitting a ballot question concerning a temporary increase of one-half of one cent (0.50%) in the City’s sales and
use tax rate for 12 years, without increasing property tax, and the issuance of debt to finance City
investment in public infrastructure to facilitate economic development opportunities. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The aggregate principal amount of the bonds total $30,595,000 with a total repayment cost of
$37,809,255 by December 1, 2028. The maximum annual repayment cost of the bonds will not
exceed $3,700,000. The 2023 adopted 2E Bond Fund budget includes adequate funds for debt service payments. In 2022, the 0.50% sales and use tax rate increase generated $5,547,062. Therefore, funds are available
to cover these debt service payments.
BACKGROUND: In 2007, when the Mayor initiated a citizen task force to prioritize infrastructure needs, the City identified numerous unfunded capital infrastructure projects. That task force was referred to as the
DIRT Task Force, referencing “drainage, infrastructure, roads and trails.” A second DIRT Task
Force was initiated by City Council directive on April 25, 2016. This citizen group was tasked with reprioritizing and updating the list of projects and recommending priorities to City Council. City Council directed staff to move forward with a ballot question requesting a temporary, one-half of one cent (0.50%) increase to the City sales and use tax rate for 12 years and the issuance of
debt to finance the following projects:
• Anderson Park Improvements
• Wadsworth Boulevard Reconstruction – 35th Avenue to Interstate 70
• Wheat Ridge • Ward Commuter Rail Station Area
• Clear Creek Crossing Mixed-Use Development Site on the West Side of I-70 at 38TH and Youngfield
At the regular general election held on November 8, 2016, the electorate of the City approved ballot question 2E. The revenues from the voter approved 0.5% tax increase are accounted for in a special fund and will not be released or available for any purposes except for the four projects listed above and to pay debt service on these bonds and to replenish the reserve fund.
RECOMMENDATIONS: The City entered into a Registrar and Paying Agent Agreement with Colorado State Bank and Trust on May 2, 2017, which requires the City to transfer principal and interest debt payments to the bank by a certain date, otherwise the City will be in default of this agreement. The payments
to Colorado State Bank were subsequently assigned to Bank of Oklahoma.
