Note about Wheat Ridge Speaks: Members of the public may visit the Wheat Ridge Speaks website and enter written comments of up to 1,000 words on any Council agenda item. The deadline for the public to submit comments is 12:00 Noon Mountain Time on the day of a Council session so that Council members, other elected officials and City Staff have time to review the comments before the meeting on Monday evening. The City Clerk’s Office transcribes those Wheat Ridge Speaks comments into these minutes, placing each comment along with the record for that agenda item. No comments appeared in Wheat Ridge Speaks for this session of Council. 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.

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.

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. Public Comment No one came forward to speak. Council Questions and comments None on this item, having thoroughly reviewed it previously, 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 MPT Stites asked the Mayor to report on the details he could comment or opine about from the legislative committee hearing he attended last week. His Honor gave a lengthy and detailed answer. CM Nosler Beck commented that has heard from people familiar with the matter that a number of amendments to the initial draft of the bill are under consideration. Later she 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. CM Ohm and MPT Stites both indicated that they support the resolution for a number of 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 CM Ohm reported several complaints from residents regarding the sound of gunfire from a shooting range (indoor) located in District II. He asked that staff investigate the noise level and act if the law allows or requires it. Mr. Goff agreed to keep CM Ohm informed of the outcomes. CM Nosler Beck announced that on May 10 from 5 to 7 pm there will be a celebration of Wilmore Davis School’s contributions to our City in the 50 years since it opened as the school prepares to close next month. CM Hutchinson announced that the program formerly called the 9News Health Fair is now 365 Health, and it continues to offer a great opportunity for people to get diagnostic help and sound referrals for healthcare. CM Weaver commented on the significance of the efforts among those who received Proclamations this evening, especially the WR PD Community Services Team and their excellent and innovative work. MPT Stites recognized the Applewood Sustainable Neighborhood for their ongoing work and several successful events already this year. He asked us to remember if you can find it in WR, buy it in WR. Mayor Starker reported how much he enjoyed the recent City sponsored Easter Egg Hunt and thanked the staff who conducted the event for their hard work. Many families, especially those with young children, attended and a good time was had by all, especially the children. ADJOURNMENT to SPECIAL STUDY SESSION  The meeting adjourned at 7:42 pm.

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.

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. Wadsworth ROW Transfer April 24, 2023 Page 3 RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of this ordinance so that the appropriate rights-of-way can be transferred to CDOT.

Pegues, PLS 38447 For and on behalf of Topographic, Co. 12265 W. Bayaud Avenue, Suite 130 Lakewood, CO 80228 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 Council Action Form – 44th Avenue Subarea Plan April 24, 2023 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.

Planning Commission Minutes -3 – April 6, 2023 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. Motion carried 6-0. B.Case No. WPA-22-01: A resolution recommending adoption of the 44th Avenue Subarea Plan and by such adoption amending the Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Stevens gave a short presentation regarding the adoption of the 44th Avenue Subarea Plan and introduced the MIG Project Manager. 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 ATTACHMENT 3 Planning Commission Minutes - 4 – April 6, 2023 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. ATTACHMENT 3 Planning Commission Minutes - 5 – April 6, 2023 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. ATTACHMENT 3 Wheat Ridge Speaks Published Comments for April 6, 2023 Planning Commission Meeting Adoption of the 44th Avenue Subarea Plan Andrew J Rock ∙ 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. Address: 4300 Tabor St. Wheat Ridge, 80033 Ashton Krajnovich ∙ 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!

INTRODUCTION1 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. CLEAR CREEK Ki p l i n g S t r e e t W 44th Avenue 70 70 4 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION Intercept event held in Anderson Park 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. 5 I-70 barrier wallClear Creek at Prospect Park 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. 6 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION 44th Avenue Corridor Open Space Water Feature 7 Project Boundary Legend Wheat Ridge City Boundary Source: City of Wheat Ridge 44th Avenue Subarea Photo of Arapaho Warriors taken late 1800’s 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. 9 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. LET’S TALK RESIDENT ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM Let’s Talk Wheat Ridge Neighborhood Areas FRUITDALE’S TOP ACTION ITEMS »Increase Resources for the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) »Implement Targeted West 44th Avenue Improvements »Conduct Proactive Code Enforcement for Property Maintenance in Fruitdale »Adopt Tree Preservation Rules for the Neighborhood ANDERSON PARK’S TOP ACTION ITEMS »Improve Clear Creek North of West 44th Avenue to Reduce Flood Impacts on Property »Conduct Proactive Code Enforcement for Property Maintenance in Anderson Park »Implement Targeted West 44th Avenue Improvements »Adopt Tree Preservation Rules 11 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. 12 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION ADDITIONAL INFLUENTIAL DOCUMENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS SUSTAINABLE WHEAT RIDGE (SWR) This committee, through the Climate Action Plan, looks at improving sustainability practices for six priority areas: »communications and engagement »green building and energy efficiency »renewable energy »solid waste and recycling »transportation »water The goals of each focus area are to enhance environmental sustainability, provide strong financial returns, and bring substantial benefits to public health, community cohesion, and 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. 13 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. Intercept event 18 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN SECTION TWO: INPUT AND ANALYSIS First Advisory Committee Meeting Wall Graphic Activity 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. 19 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 Music in the Park Intercept Event 20 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN SECTION TWO: INPUT AND ANALYSIS 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. What’s Up Wheat Ridge Online Activity Summary. As of February 1, 2023, there were 4,300 Visits to the project page. 22 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN SECTION TWO: INPUT AND ANALYSIS ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY Public engagement and outreach was sequenced and designed to coincide with the three phases of the Plan: foundation, synthesis, and implementation. For each phase, the key takeaways are listed below: PHASE 1: FOUNDATION KEY TAKEAWAYS Advisory Committee, Resident/ Business Focus Groups, Joint Open House, Intercept Events, Online Activities, Planning/Council Commission Study Sessions »Maintain and support the existing character through compatible development and preservation where appropriate. »Define areas of potential change to support new and existing residential and retail in a vision focused on character, safety, and experience. »Support and expand local retail through regulations, incentives, streetscape design, and supportive uses. »Increase the number of safe and signalized crossings along West 44th Avenue, and expand connectivity beyond the boundaries. »Prioritize safety throughout, in policies, programs, and projects. PHASE 2: SYNTHESIS KEY TAKEAWAYS Advisory Committee, Resident/ Business Focus Groups, Joint Open House, Intercept Events, Online Activities »Eliminate the perception of West 44th Avenue being vehicle-oriented by establishing pedestrian-oriented developments and accessible routes between amenities. »Increase safe connectivity across and along West 44th Avenue for non- vehicular access to Clear Creek trails and future mixed-use developments. »Preserve and enhance agriculture, heritage, and green space to expand on the community’s unique character. »Support and utilize local businesses as the geographic basis for future, pedestrian-friendly, commercial development. »Beautify existing and future pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure to encourage non-vehicular transportation. »Mimic existing zoning characteristics, such as height and typology, for compatible residential development. PHASE 3: IMPLEMENTATION KEY TAKEAWAYS Advisory Committee, Joint Open House, Online Activities, Planning/ Council Commission Study Sessions »Majority support for all of the major strategies provided in this plan document. »High amount of support for beautification – art, planting, furnishings, way finding, etc. »Support adaptation/reuse/removal of vehicular-oriented uses and infrastructure. »More in favor of updating or adaptive reuse of existing uses instead of building new ones. »Lower support for new development, primarily new residential development. 23 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. Existing Conditions Analysis Stormwater infrastructure behind new commercial retail 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. IDENTITY, CHARACTER, AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS Duplex development on Flower Street The Fruitdale School, now converted to lofts Single-unit residence in the Subarea 25 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. New multi-unit development off West 44th Avenue Low density single-use retail along West 44th Ave Valley Business Park off Van Gorden Street 26 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN SECTION TWO: INPUT AND ANALYSIS Project Boundary Legend Wheat Ridge City Boundary Source: City of Wheat Ridge *Note: The Residential uses displayed on the map encompass residential and agricultural uses, some of which includes commercial and agricultural uses. 44th Avenue Subarea Land Use Patterns Industrial Open Space Civic / Institutional Residential* Commercial 27 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. 28 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN Project Boundary Legend Wheat Ridge City Boundary Urban Renewal Area Source: City of Wheat Ridge 44th Avenue Subarea Zoning as of 2022 PF Planned Commercial Development Public Facilities Planned Industrial Development Planned Residential Development PCD PID PRDN-C A-2Agricultural-Two C-1Commercial-One C-2Commercial-Two Neighborhood Commercial A-1Agricultural-One I-E MU-CMixed Use Commercial MU-C INTMixed Use Commercial - Interstate MU-NMixed Use Neighborhood Industrial-Employment R-1C R-2 R-2A R-1 Residential-One C Residential-Two Residential-Two A Residential-Three Residential-Three A Residential-One R-3R-3 R-3AR-3A Restricted CommercialR-CR-C SECTION TWO: INPUT AND ANALYSIS 29 Sources: U.S. Census; ESRI Business Analyst; Economic & Planning System 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. 30 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN SECTION TWO: INPUT AND ANALYSIS Howard Johnson multi-unit redevelopment along West 44th Avenue Strip commercial property along W 44th Ave 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. 32 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN Project Boundary Legend Economic Development Opportunity Wheat Ridge City Boundary Source: City of Wheat Ridge, Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 44th Avenue Subarea Economic Analysis SECTION TWO: INPUT AND ANALYSIS Civic/Community Uses 1 - Low 5 4 3 2 6 7 8 9 - High 33 Carr Street underpass Sidewalk condition along West 44th Avenue 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. 34 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN 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). 35 Pedestrian crossing across West 44th Avenue Heavy truck traffic impacting traffic flow along West 44th Avenue 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. 36 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN Project Boundary Severe Injury Crash Legend Wheat Ridge City Boundary Pedestrian Involved Crash Bicycle Involved Crash Crash Density , 2017-2019 Source: City of Wheat Ridge, DRCOG 44th Avenue Subarea Traffic Crashes SECTION TWO: INPUT AND ANALYSIS Low High 37 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.

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 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.

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 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 Fruitdale dog park Clear Creek natural area Anderson Park entry and signage 46 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN 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. Prospect Park aerial 47 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. CHARACTER AND HISTORY LOCAL AND SMALL BUSINESS HOUSING DIVERSITY 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.

The following recommendations encourage new development to address the greater community and provide more cohesive design strategies. Pathways for implementation may include one or more new zone district designations, as well as a larger legislative rezoning effort. Recommendations: »A diverse mix of uses, including residential, office, and retail. »High quality aesthetic requirements. »Pedestrian connections to and through this area. »Minimal surface parking along the major roadways.

Potential Zone Districts: »MU-C INT, MU-C 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.

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 and hospitality.

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.

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.

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. »Additional shared street signage. »Sidewalks at primary connections to Clear Creek.

STRATEGY G-1 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.

Individual recommendations for each of those intersections follows. Prioritization of these improvements are located in the Action Plan Chapter of this document. Individual recommendations for each of those intersections follows: Recommendations: West 44th Avenue and Tabor Street: »Install a traffic signal at West 44th Avenue & Tabor Street. »Utilize a microsimulation tool to determine the travel time impacts in the area between Ward Road and Tabor Street. West 44th Avenue and Parfet Street: »Formalize existing crossing due to distance between existing crossings and proposed connection to Clear Creek Trail. »Install a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) due to the 4-lane cross section, speed, and vehicle volume along the roadway or remove the existing marked crosswalk if demand does not warrant it.

The existing curb-to-curb cross section is very wide due to the eastbound right turn deceleration and acceleration lanes. Determine if eastbound right turn deceleration and acceleration lanes should remain or could be removed/re-purposed. »Evaluate the feasibility of a median refuge as an alternative strategy regardless of the signal warrant study’s findings. West 44th Avenue and Robb Street: »Upgrade existing RRFB to a PHB due to the 4-lane cross section, speed, and vehicle volume along the roadway. »Consider relocating the crosswalk location to the entrance of Prospect Lake Park. »Coordinate with RTD over consolidating or relocating bus stops, and coordinate crosswalk location with bus stop. 88 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN West 44th Avenue at the TA Travel Center Designated ped/bike paths separated from roadway Pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB) Planted bulbouts West 44th Avenue and Travel Center »Improve signage at Vivian Street and Van Gordon Street to clarify there are no outlets on local streets and trucks cannot turn right or left onto local streets. Signage could be improved and installed in the short-term independent of whether the City decides to proceed with the following recommendations »Evaluate extending median to close/ prohibit southbound left turns at the west access driveway. »Consider narrowing entrances to deter undesired movements and introduce a ‘porkchop’ to require ‘right in – right outs.’ »Install a traffic signal at West 44th Avenue & TA Travel Center Access/ Van Gordon Street. »Evaluate closing existing access points to consolidate to one access point that aligns with Van Gordon Street. »This option would require coordination with CDOT.

While it being the only vehicular crossing over Clear Creek on the east end of the Subarea, the current bridge offers minimal infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. The following recommendations address the mobility concerns at this bridge for vehicles, and looks at alternatives for safer, more efficient crossings for pedestrians and cyclists. Recommendations: »Re-purposing the non-travel lane to allocate additional spaces to pedestrian and bicyclists. »Constructing a new pedestrian/ bicycle bridge parallel to the existing bridge. S A FETY A N D CO M F ORT CO N N ECTIVI T Y H-3 SECTION THREE: GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 91 INTRODUCTION This section contains recommendations for funding strategies the City of Wheat Ridge can employ to implement the 44th Avenue Subarea Plan. Funding Strategies Sign at Anderson Park 92 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE | 44TH AVENUE SUBAREA PLAN 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. West 44th Avenue at Youngfield Street looking toward Ward Road West 44th Ward Road Plan area at West 44th and Ward Road I-70 Kipling Corridors Plan area at I-70 Kipling Street Corridor SECTION THREE: GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 93 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. 4 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.

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.” Wadsworth ROW Acceptance April 24, 2023 Page 3 Or, “I move to deny accepting the rights-of-way from the adjacent property owners along Wadsworth Boulevard and from adjacent streets between 35th Avenue and Interstate 70 for the following reason(s) ____________________________________________________________.” REPORT PREPARED/REVIEWED BY: Mark Westberg, Project Supervisor Lauren Mikulak, Director of Community Development Patrick Goff, City Manager ATTACHMENTS: 1.

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.

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 Council Action Form – 2E Bond Principal and Interest Payment April 24, 2023 Page 2 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.
