No one wished to speak at this time.
Jeff Farrell, applicant
4747 Williams Dr., Georgetown TX 78633
In response to a question from Commissioners SCHELKE and MOORE, Mr.
Farrell confirmed that Primrose School is a franchise and added there was a master
traffic study done by Evergreen Development.
Commissioner KERNS inquired if there will be a crosswalk on the southeast side
of the site.
Mr. Cutler said there will be a permanent crosswalk when the road to the west is
rebuilt, which will happen when the adjacent property is developed.
Emily Durke, applicant
4005 West 35th Ave., Wheat Ridge
In response to a question from Commissioner KERNS regarding congestion
overflow during drop-off and pick-up time, Ms. Dirk explained the times for drop-
off and pick-up will be at variable times and will be done in the parking lot.
It was moved by Commissioner QUINONES and seconded by Commissioner
GRAEVE to APPROVE Case No. WZ-24-05, a request for approval of a
Specific Development Plan for a Primrose School on property located within
Planning Area 6 of the Clear Creek Crossing Planned Mixed Use
Development at 3905 Clear Creek Drive, for the following reasons:
1. The specific development plan is consistent with the purpose of a planned
development, as state in Section 26-301 of the Code of Laws.
2. The specific development plan is consistent with the intent and purpose of
the outline development plan.
Planning Commission Minutes - 3 –
November 7, 2024
3. The proposed uses are consistent with those approved by the outline
development plan.
4. All responding agencies have indicated they can serve the property with
improvements installed at the developer’s expense.
5. The specific development plan is in substantial compliance with the
applicable standards set forth in the outline development plan and with
the City’s adopted design manuals.

1. Minor site adjustments may be required to the civil construction plans to
coordinate this development with surrounding infrastructure
improvements and the replat.
Motion approved 7-0.
8. OLD BUSINESS
9. NEW BUSINESS
A. Lutheran Legacy Campus Draft of Zoning Regulations
Ms. Easley and Mr. Cutler gave a presentation about the proposed Mixed Use-
Lutheran Legacy Campus (MU-LLC) zoning regulations. They went over some of
the key topics, then gave information about the process and next steps for the
creation of the zone district.
Commissioner GRAEVE asked how the developer will be encouraged to reuse
existing buildings on the site.
Mr. Cutler confirmed there are three buildings, including the chapel, the blue house
and the TB tent that are required to be addressed by the developer; the other
buildings were not identified in the master plan to keep.
In response to a question about Zone 4 and the lower density overlapping the
higher density, Ms. Easley and Mr. Cutler explained it is fuzzy on the map but
there will not be any overlapping and the first row will be lower density homes and
there will be transitions to taller structures as moving to the middle of the site. Mr.
Cutler also explained the uses that will be allowed in the different zones, and how
some uses are conditional and will only be allowed in certain zones.
Commissioner QUINN inquired if there will be access to Dudley Street from the
site.
Mr. Cutler explained there will be an alley for the homes along Dudley Street so
their access will come from the east. He added there will be some access to
Dudley Street, but it will be for emergency purposes.
Planning Commission Minutes - 4 –
November 7, 2024
In response to a question about vehicles cutting through side streets from 38th
Avenue to 44th Avenue, Ms. Easley explained that they are public streets and the
City cannot stop vehicles from cutting through, but hopefully once the Wadsworth
construction is complete the cut throughs should subside. She added there are no
plans yet with Public Works, but once the site is in the Concept Plan process there
will be traffic studies done.
Commissioner QUINN asked about the 20% of the site that will be dedicated to
open space.
Mr. Cutler confirmed that 20% will be publicly accessible open space which is
unprecedented. There will also be private open space such as yards and multi-
family amenity areas.
There was some discussion about West Pines and Ms. Easley said that due to the
interior conditions it will most likely not be repurposed.
In response to a question from Commissioner DISNEY, Ms. Easley explained that
the interested developers understand the intent of the adopted Master Plan and the
proposed rezoning. She added that if the developer wanted to change anything in
the Concept Plan then there would be a process to make the change.
B. Upcoming Dates
Ms. Easley mentioned there will be a Planning Commission meeting on November
21 and, unless we hear otherwise, also on December 5 and 19.
C. Project and Development Updates
Ms. Easley confirmed that the Outlook II apartments received their CO. She also
mentioned that ballot measures 2B and 2C were both passed by voters.
D. Commissioner Updates
Commissioner DISNEY said she is a member of the Art Spot and the member
show will be held on November 9 from 5-9pm at the Methodist Church on 38th
Avenue. She also congratulated staff on crossing the finish line for 2B and 2C. She
also thanked the City for involving the community.
10. ADJOURNMENT
It was moved by Commissioner QUINN and seconded by Commissioner KERNS to
adjourn the meeting at 7:39 p.m. Motion carried 7-0.

Planning Commission 2
Case No. WZ-24-07 / Prospect Park Place PCD
JURISDICTION:
All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this
case.
I. REQUEST
Case No. WZ-24-07 is an application for approval of an amendment to Phase II of the Prospect Park
Place ODP for property located at 11600 W. 44th Avenue. The purpose of the request is to amend the
existing ODP to allow RV camping uses on Lot 1, located on the northernmost portion of the site.
An amendment to a planned development in the City of Wheat Ridge entails approval of two
documents. The first is the amendment to the Outline Development Plan (ODP). The approval of the
ODP amendment establishes allowed uses and development standards for the property, and establishes
access configurations for vehicles and pedestrians. The second document is the Specific Development
Plan (SDP), which focuses on specific details of a development such as site design, architecture,
landscaping, and drainage design. The SDP must be found to be compliant with the ODP in order to be
approved.
Section 26-302 of the Municipal Code allows for concurrent or sequential applications for the ODP
and SDP. In this case, the applicant is requesting sequential review of the ODP and SDP. The ODP
document requires public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council, with the City
Council being the final deciding body. If the ODP is approved, the applicant can apply for SDP
approval. The SDP application will be heard at Planning Commission, who is the final deciding body
for SDP approval.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY
The property is located on the south side of W. 44th Avenue, just east of Tabor Street. (Exhibit 1,
Aerial). According to the Jefferson County Assessor, the site is approximately 271,640 square feet
(6.236 acres) in size and currently contains the Applewood RV Resort. There are multiple buildings
located on the property currently used for commercial/retail and offices in addition to the RV parking
spaces located on the southern portion of the site.
The site is zoned Planned Commercial Development (PCD) under the Prospect Park Place ODP.
Adjacent properties to the north are zoned Residential-Three (R-3), Commercial-One (C-1) to the west,
and Agricultural-One (A-1) to the south and east (Exhibit 2, Zoning Map). Uses in the vicinity include
residential, commercial, and parks/open space.
III. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Attached is a copy of the proposed amended Outline Development Plan for the site, which contains
one sheet (Exhibit 3, Outline Development Plan). The sheet includes certification and signature blocks
for the property owners, Planning Commission, City Council, and the Mayor. There is also a character
of development statement, development standards and other standard notes, as well as permitted uses
and conceptual layout of the property, including access, open space, and planning areas. As noted
above, the ODP is a property-specific zoning document that establishes the underlying development
standards. These are described below, would run with the land if approved, and cannot be changed
without going through a subsequent zone change process.
Planning Commission 3
Case No. WZ-24-07 / Prospect Park Place PCD
Allowable Uses
The original ODP listed an RV park as a permitted use on the southern half (Phase I) of the property
but did not contemplate an expansion of that use to the northern half (Phase II). Because the RV park is
not currently a permitted use in Phase II, an amendment to the existing ODP is required. Currently,
only commercial, retail, and residential uses are permitted in Phase II. The proposed amendment would
include an RV park as a permitted use in Phase II of the site.
Site Configuration
The ODP depicts the site broken up into two separate phases:
• Phase I (southern half of the site) – Originally entitled in 1989, this phase currently contains
RV campsites. No changes are proposed in Phase I; it is proposed to remain as is.
• Phase II (northern half of the site) – Contains main entrance onto site, situated along W. 44th
Avenue. The existing commercial buildings and house on the north side are proposed to be
demolished and the site will be redeveloped for more RV campsite spaces. One building along
the western property line is proposed to remain to be converted for restroom facilities.
Despite being labelled as two separate phases, the site will function as a whole with the proposed
expansion of the campground. Access into the site is still proposed off of W. 44th Avenue. Internal
roads will allow for circulation throughout the site, including between both areas. Onsite landscape
improvements are proposed, including a substantial landscape buffer along the frontage of the site to
screen RV parking from W. 44th Avenue and provide an amenity to guests.
Development Standards
The development standards do not align with typical standards because of the unique nature of the
development.
Setbacks, Building Height and Building Coverage –The following development standards are
proposed:
Standard Proposed PCD Current Zoning
Front setback (W. 44th Avenue) 10 feet 30 feet
Side setbacks (east and west) 10 feet 5 feet
Rear setback (south) 10 feet 10 feet
Building height 35 feet 50 feet
Building Coverage Max. 4,500 square feet (6.5%) 80%
The proposed development standards are a combination of existing standards listed in the original ODP
and new standards with the proposed land use in mind. The standards proposed with this amendment
will apply only to Phase II of the site. The intent for Phase II of the site is to use it for RV camping
sites, and most of the existing buildings on the northern portion of the site are planned to be
demolished. The setbacks proposed are in order to ensure the building that will remain on the site will
be in compliance with the development standards of the ODP. The lot coverage accounts for the
existing building that will remain and also provides a small amount of flexibility should a new building
be built, though no new buildings are proposed as part of this project at this time.
Parking – Both parking and drive aisle widths are proposed to be in accordance with Section 26-501 of
the municipal code. Vehicle parking is accommodated at each campsite. In addition, the applicant is
Planning Commission 4
Case No. WZ-24-07 / Prospect Park Place PCD
proposing eight guest parking spaces for standard vehicles which includes one ADA accessible space.
The parking will be located in front of the existing building that is to remain on the west side of the
site. EV parking requirements will be evaluated at time of SDP.
Architectural, Site, and Streetscape Design – Where applicable, architectural, site, and streetscape
design must be in conformance with the ASDM and Streetscape Design Manual. This particular
project is not proposing any new buildings, and streetscape improvements are not required at this time,
but compliance with the ASDM is required per the ODP amendment.
The code requires that any areas subject to wheeled traffic must be paved. The ODP proposes all
private roads/drives on the site to be paved with asphalt.
Landscaping – All landscaping is proposed to be in conformance with Section 26-502. The ODP is
proposing a 30% landscape requirement within Phase II. A 20-foot landscape buffer along W. 44th
Avenue will be required in conjunction with a fence to buffer the RV parking from the street.
Code compliance – In all other areas, the project is proposed to comply with the zoning code including
lighting, fencing, signage, and streetscape design.
Drainage
Full water quality will be required for Phase II redevelopment. A full drainage report and final design
will be required at the time of SDP application.
Traffic
A trip generation letter was submitted as part of the ODP application. Traffic from the proposed
development is not anticipated to have an impact on traffic in the neighborhood. Trip generation is
expected to be low given the proposed use. Specific trip generation rates will be further evaluated at
SDP review.
IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA
Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in Section 26-303.D. The applicant
has also provided a narrative (Exhibit 5, Applicant Letter). The Planning Commission shall base its
recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the following criteria have been met:
1. The change of zone promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community and
will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area.
The investment in the property contributes to economic growth by providing more RV campsite
spaces, which the city collects lodgers tax from. The development will likely add value to the area
through high-quality and thoughtful design.
The Planned Commercial Development zoning is expected to have a positive impact on the
neighborhood from a curb appeal perspective through increased landscaping and the removal of
aging structures. The proposed zoning complies with safety and access requirements of the fire
district. The project will not result in significant adverse effects on the surrounding area. The
proposed zoning would allow the site to become more uniform, integrating both Phase I and Phase
II.
Planning Commission 5
Case No. WZ-24-07 / Prospect Park Place PCD
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
2. The development proposed on the subject property is not feasible under any other zone
district, and would require an unreasonable number of variances or waivers and conditions.
The property was originally entitled in 1984 to allow a mix of uses including residential and
commercial uses. The site was originally conceived as a mobile home park which is required by
code to be zoned as a planned development. At some point, the use evolved into a campground
with more mobile RVs and less stationary homes and the site officially became a campground with
approval of a final development plan (FDP) in 1989. Because a campground is not a permitted use
in any of the City’s base zone districts, a planned development is required.
The customized PCD allows for the use to continue at the site. No reasonable number of variances,
waivers or conditions for alternative zoning options could achieve the same.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
3. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the types of uses allowed by the
change of zone, or the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are
under capacity.
All of the service providers and utility districts have indicated that they have no concerns with the
proposal and have indicated they can serve the property with improvements installed at the
developer’s expense, if applicable. Exact requirements will be imposed at time of the SDP and
subdivision plat review.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
4. The Planning Commission shall also find that at least one (1) of the following conditions
exists:
a. The change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with
the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies, and other
related policies or plans for the area.
Envision Wheat Ridge, the City’s 2009 comprehensive plan, is organized around six key values,
three of which are achieved by this project:
1. Create a Resilient Local Economy Based on a Balanced Mix of Land Uses.
2. Enhance Community Character and Accentuate Quality Design.
3. Ensure a Sustainable Future.
The ODP reflects allowable uses, development standards, and architectural requirements that
help with economic growth, promote quality design, balance compatible land uses, and retain
community character. Additionally, by way of improving the site and enabling more cohesion
between Phase I and Phase II, the proposal is likely to result in a positive future outcome.
Within Envision Wheat Ridge, the Structure Plan map provides high-level guidance for
achieving the City’s vision by designating development priorities and future land areas (Exhibit
4, Comprehensive Plan). The “Neighborhoods” designation encompasses this site, and a
majority of surrounding properties in the vicinity. Additionally, the site is located along a
Planning Commission 6
Case No. WZ-24-07 / Prospect Park Place PCD
Neighborhood Commercial Corridor. The proposed ODP amendment is consistent in
addressing the “Neighborhood Revitalization” designation where the property is being invested
in. The proposed amendment would allow for the site to become cohesive in use, would help
facilitate the removal of existing aging buildings, and increase curb appeal through site
improvements and increased landscaping. The proposed use on Phase II of the site, which the
proposed amendment would enable, would help achieve the goals of the “Neighborhood
Commercial Corridor” designation by providing a mix of diverse uses on the corridor.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City
of Wheat Ridge is in error.
Staff finds no evidence of an error on the official zoning maps.
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
c. A change of character in the area has occurred or is occurring to such a degree that it is
in the public interest to encourage redevelopment of the area or to recognize the changing
character of the area.
Staff finds no evidence of changing character in this specific area, however, with the recent
adoption of the 44th Avenue Subarea Plan, the vision and goals for the corridor have been
established. The investment and changes complement the diversity of land uses in the area and
strengthen the economic market.
Staff concludes that this criterion not applicable.
d. The proposed rezoning is necessary in order to provide for a community need that was
not anticipated at the time of the adoption of the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive
plan.
Staff finds no evidence of an unanticipated need. The proposed zone change responds directly
to goals identified in the comprehensive plan.
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
Staff concludes that the criteria used to evaluate zone change support this request.
VII. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING & PUBLIC INPUT
Pursuant to Section 26-109 of the Code of Laws, the applicant notified all property owners and
residents within 600 feet of the site of the neighborhood meeting. Neighborhood meetings are required
prior to submittal of an application for a zone change.
The neighborhood input meeting was held on November 1, 2023 in a virtual meeting format. Two
members of the public attended the meeting. A full summary of the meeting is attached in Exhibit 6,
Neighborhood Meeting Notes.
Planning Commission 7
Case No. WZ-24-07 / Prospect Park Place PCD
Public noticing is required prior to public hearings. If any comments are provided prior to the Planning
Commission public hearing on November 21, they will be entered into the record and distributed to
Commissioners at the public hearing. Comments collected on Wheat Ridge Speaks will also be
reviewed by Planning Commissioners and entered into the public record.
VIII. AGENCY REFERRAL
All affected service agencies were contacted for comment on the zone change request and regarding
the ability to serve the property. Specific referral responses follow:
Wheat Ridge Engineering Division: No concerns with the ODP.
Wheat Ridge Public Works: Comments regarding drainage have been noted and will be
addressed with SDP.
Wheat Ridge Economic Development: No comments.

Comcast: No comments.
IX. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff has concluded that the proposed rezoning and Outline Development Plan are consistent with the
zone change criteria. Because the requirements for an ODP have been met and the review criteria
support the ODP, a recommendation for approval is given.
X. SUGGESTED MOTIONS – ZONE CHANGE (ODP)

Case No. WZ-24-01 / CCC ODP Amendment 2
JURISDICTION:
All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this
case.
I. REQUEST
The property is zoned Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) and more specifically is subject to
the Clear Creek Crossing Outlined Development Plan (ODP) and Design Pattern Book (DPB) which
were approved by the City in 2018 (Case No. WZ-16-07).
The applicant is requesting to amend the ODP (specifically for Planning Areas 3 and 6) and to make
necessary and conforming revisions to the Design Pattern Book.
Per Section 26-307 of the municipal code, any change to a development parameter within a planned
development is processed the same as the original approval, meaning this request requires review at
public hearings similar to a zone change. Planning Commission will make a recommendation to City
Council who is the final authority for approval.
II. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING
The subject property is commonly known as Clear Creek Crossing, and is located west of Interstate 70,
south of Highway 58, and north of the existing development near 32nd Avenue. Properties surrounding
Clear Creek Crossing have a variety of land uses and zoning designations. To the north is Clear Creek
Trail. To the northwest are Coors water storage facilities; those within Wheat Ridge are zoned Planned
Commercial Development (PCD). The Applewood Golf Course and a large-lot single-family
neighborhood are located to the west and southwest in unincorporated Jefferson County (Exhibit 1,
Aerial).
Within Wheat Ridge, directly south of the subject property, land uses are generally highway oriented
and include a gas station, hotel, and restaurants, all zoned PCD. Interstate-70 abuts the property to the
east and across I-70 to the east is the Applewood Village shopping center with various retail/restaurant
uses (Exhibit 2, Zoning Map).
III. PROPERTY HISTORY
Property History & Development Status
Rezoning to a planned development in the City of Wheat Ridge involves a two-step process, and for
the subject property, the 2018 approval of the ODP and DPB comprised the first step. These two
regulatory documents establish the allowed uses and development standards for the property and
establish access configurations for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles. While rare in Wheat Ridge, a
design pattern book is common for developments of this size, for which formatting flexibility
including photos and graphics are necessary to explain substantive development standards. Links to
the current ODP, DPB, and Vision Book documents can be found at the following link:
https://www.ci.wheatridge.co.us/431/Guiding-Documents.
The second step for development in a Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) requires approval of
Specific Development Plans for each building, lot, or phase. SDPs are reviewed for compliance with
the ODP, DPB, and Vision Book. Several SDPs have already been approved at Clear Creek Crossing.
Case No. WZ-24-01 / CCC ODP Amendment 3
Past, current, and planned developments are detailed below. See Exhibits 1 and 2, Aerial and Zoning
Map.
Planning Areas & Development Status
The approved zoning documents organize the subject site into eight “Planning Areas” (PAs) each with
different permitted uses and development standards (Exhibit 3, Planning Areas). The master developer,
Evergreen Devco, has worked to develop the site and identify tenants for each planning area. The
purpose and use of each planning area is described below:
• PA 1 (Mill District): This planning area is reserved for employment uses. The new
Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital and Medical Office Building were recently constructed
here.
• PA 2 (Homestead District): This planning area is reserved for multi-unit residential uses.
(Outlook I) Apartments were constructed here. The second phase of apartments to the west,
under separate zoning, also recently completed construction.
• PA 3 (Vineyard District): The zoning envisioned this area as a walkable commercial area, to
include a mix of restaurant, retail, and entertainment uses across several buildings. With this
amendment, Evergreen Devco proposes 1) to relocate the pedestrian-oriented restaurant and
entertainment district to PA 6, and 2) to allow freestanding buildings with drive-thrus. This
planning area is currently vacant with SDPs in for review for a Home2 hotel, Birdcall drive-
thru restaurant, and Bank of America. Crossing Drive is planned to intersect this planning area
and be constructed concurrently with the development of these active applications.
• PA 4 (Vineyard District): This planning area is located on either side of the hook ramps and
envisioned to have more highway- or auto-oriented uses. Foothills Credit Union, Dutch Bros.
coffee shop, and Maverik (previously Kum & Go) gas station were developed here.
• PA 5, 6, and 7 (Harvest District): These planning areas were envisioned to have larger format
land uses, such as larger retail users, entertainment uses, and hotels. A Life Time Fitness
Facility resides in PA 5 and 6, and a Hampton Inn hotel is currently under construction in PA 7.
SDPs are in for review for a Primrose School and Bonfire Burritos drive-thru restaurant also in
PA 6. The vacant site between Life Time and Hampton Inn on the west side has an SDP in for
review for ‘The Lookout’ restaurant corridor that includes three buildings surrounding a 0.25-
acre park/plaza space, and this amendment would allow it to become the premiere, pedestrian-
oriented restaurant and entertainment space in Clear Creek Crossing. A trail connection along
the west side is currently under construction and will complete the gap from 32nd Avenue to
Clear Creek.
• PA 8 (Wagon District): This planning area abuts Clear Creek and is not developable. It includes
regional drainage facilities and will remain as open space.
IV. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
The amendments proposed in the ODP and DPB are described below, and staff’s analysis of these
changes are included in Section V.
ODP Amendment – Permitted Uses & Connectivity
The applicant is requesting to modify the underlying zoning within Planning Areas 3 and 6 to revise
allowed uses, setbacks/build-to, street, plaza, and multi-modal requirements. The intent of these
changes is to relocate the main restaurant and entertainment district that was originally anticipated in
Planning Area 3 to the farthest west side of Planning Area 6, and to create a premiere pedestrian
corridor or ‘paseo’ to connect users from W. 40th Avenue to and through these planning areas.
Case No. WZ-24-01 / CCC ODP Amendment 4
Sketch Plan
The sketch plan on page 2 of the ODP is proposed to be revised to specify that pedestrian connections
are required between PAs 3 and 6, in addition to required vehicular connections that were identified in
the original ODP. See amended ODP provided in Exhibit 4, Applicant Submittals.
Uses
Drive-thrus are currently allowed in PAs 1 through 7 without a limit on the quantity; however, they
must be attached to a multi-tenant building. The applicant is requesting to allow freestanding drive-
thru buildings in exchange for limiting them to a maximum of three in any single planning area and to
a maximum of five total between PAs 3 and 6. This is noted on page 3 of the ODP.
Design Pattern Book
The Design Pattern Book (DPB) contains the substantive standards for site design (including
development standards), building architecture, landscaping, lighting, and signage for each planning
area of Clear Creek Crossing. The key changes proposed relate to:
• The purpose and standards of Planning Areas (PAs) 3 and 6,
• The addition of Crossing Drive paseo street sections and standards,
• Expanding upon multi-modal requirements, and
• Revisions to plaza and gathering area requirements
See DPB with clouded changes provided in Exhibit 4, Applicant Submittals. Subordinate clean-up
items include the request to dissolve the Architectural Control Committee (ACC), adding references to
the Lutheran Master Sign Plan in the signage standards, and revising lighting requirements. Details on
each of the proposed changes is provided below.
PA 3 and 6 Standards
Planning Area 3 – Setbacks/Build-to
• The Clear Creek Drive build-to would only apply to a portion of this planning area, instead of
including the entire frontage of this roadway. This would allow the corner lot at Clear Creek
Drive and W. 40th Avenue to contain a single building fronted along W. 40th Avenue in lieu of
the original anticipation for multiple buildings fronting both streets. This will impact the
Home2 hotel site.
• Currently, per the DPB, no parking is allowed within 50 feet of the right-of-way at the
intersection of Clear Creek Drive and 40th Avenue. The applicant is proposing to allow parking
along with requirements for screening and pedestrian connections at this intersection. Plaza
space will still be required in this planning area and is proposed at this corner with the Home2
hotel SDP.
• The build-to requirement along W. 40th Avenue is currently 0-20 feet for at least 30% of the
street frontage. There are significant grade changes in this area. This is also the area where
drive-thru uses are desired. The proposal is to increase this to 0-50 feet for at least 50% of the
street frontage. This would help accommodate grade changes and allow for vehicular and fire
access drives on all sides of the buildings. A section view of the build-to is provided on page 32
of the DPB.
Case No. WZ-24-01 / CCC ODP Amendment 5
Planning Area 6 – Signage, Plaza, and Public Art Standards
• PA 6 standards on page 35 of the DPB have been revised to refer to the updated signage, plaza,
and public art requirements outlined in further detail below.
Crossing Drive Paseo Sections and Standards
When the applicant proposed moving the restaurant district to the west side of Clear Creek Drive, staff
required that an enhanced pedestrian connection between the hospital and the restaurant district be
provided. To that end and to increase visibility and create a comfortable pedestrian connection, the
applicant is proposing an enhanced Crossing Drive ‘paseo’ to prioritize pedestrians through these
planning areas and create a unique sense of place.
Street sections and standards for Crossing Drive have been added to the DPB (see pp. 47-49), to
require an enhanced connection that will comfortably get pedestrians to the primary restaurant and
entertainment district on the western side of PA 6 with the intent of prioritizing pedestrians over
vehicles, minimizing cut-through vehicular traffic, increasing visibility, attracting pedestrian activity,
and connecting uses. Crossing Drive will be required to provide the following:
• A raised intersection and enhanced crossings,
• Varied paving types to differentiate the roadway from sidewalks, crossings, and intersections,
• A minimum of 12’ wide pedestrian walkway on the west side for the length of the paseo with a
hardscaped amenity zone for the portion north of Clear Creek Drive,
• A minimum 6’ detached walk and 6’ tree lawn on the east side,
• An overhead gateway feature at ‘The Lookout’ restaurant corridor entrance,
• Overhead string lighting,
• Street trees, lighting, and amenities such as benches, and
• Private development will be encouraged to integrate with the paseo by providing adjacent patio
space and amenities, and minimize the view of parking adjacent to the street.
The Crossing Drive paseo sections and standards are further visualized in the attached Crossing Drive
Illustrative Plan and Perspective Renderings provided in Exhibit 4, Applicant Submittals.
Multi-Modal Standards
Multi-modal requirements have been expanded upon in the DPB and a new section has been added on
page 54 to reflect the ongoing partnership between the developer, City, and RTD with the goal of
accommodating bus service and a transfer station at Clear Creek Crossing. A bus stop was recently
added at the hospital site, and because Clear Creek Crossing is at the end of the service line,
accommodations are needed to appropriately serve RTD and the Wheat Ridge community. This will
create a truly multi-modal development and more comprehensively meet the intent of the original
zoning inclusive of a design oriented towards vehicles, bikes, pedestrians, trail users, and transit users.
A bus transfer station is being designed along the eastern edge of PA 6 as shown on the connectivity
diagram on page 51 of the DPB. Once the transfer station is complete, RTD has committed to
reinstating additional bus service to the west side of the City, such as Routes 28 and 32.
Plaza and Gathering Area Requirements
In addition to the original requirement that PA 1, PA 3, and PA 6 provide plaza/gathering areas of at
least 5,000 square feet, a new requirement for a 10,000 sq. ft. plaza will be required in PA 6 as well to
further augment the relocated restaurant and entertainment district within Clear Creek Crossing and
integrate with the west side trail.
Case No. WZ-24-01 / CCC ODP Amendment 6
Subordinate Clean-Up Changes
Dissolution of the ACC. The master developer, Evergreen Devco, who is applicant on this proposal, is
additionally requesting to dissolve the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The Architectural
Control Committee (ACC) was established specifically for this Clear Creek Crossing development to
ensure compliance with the Design Pattern Book, third-party review, consistency across the project,
and to conduct schematic design review prior to the City’s planning review. The ACC is comprised of
6 members: 3 appointed by mutual agreement between the Developer and the City of Wheat Ridge
Community Development Director, 2 seats held by the Developer, and 1 seat held by a City of Wheat
Ridge Planning Division staff member.
The reason to dissolve the ACC is to remove what has become an extra layer of process that is no
longer benefitting the process as it was originally intended. Attendance has steadily declined after
initial anchor tenants and infrastructure was put into place and a critical mass of development reached.
Tenants have experienced confusion when the ACC expresses support for a design, but City staff
require modifications for compliance with the zoning. The City’s standard review process in
partnership with Evergreen is working well and will remain in place for all future development. There
is no precedent for an ACC in Wheat Ridge, and staff supports the dissolution of the ACC.
Sign Standards. References to the recently adopted Lutheran Master Sign Plan have been added in the
signage standards, which supersedes the DPB standards for the hospital campus.
Lighting Standards. Lighting minimums are proposed to decrease based on feedback on property
lumen levels from adjacent neighbors as well as current best practice.
Formatting. The document now looks different than the original because it needed to be reformatted
to be more user-friendly. Content remains the same except for the proposed changes detailed above
and clouded in red on the attached DPB with clouded changes provided in Exhibit 4, Applicant
Submittals.
V. REVIEW CRITERIA
As noted above, this amendment is processed in the same manner as the original approval, and as such
is subject to the planned development review criteria outlined in Section 26-303.D. Planning
Commission and City Council shall base their decision in consideration of the extent to which the
following criteria are met:
1. The change of zone promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community and
will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area.
The proposed changes to PA 3 and PA 6 uses and standards are not expected to have a significant
adverse effect on the surrounding area. The site has evolved from having a pedestrian core to
having a more vehicular orientation along I-70 and an increasingly pedestrian-scale towards the
western boundary. This is reflected in modified approach to drive-thrus and in the pedestrian paseo
that connects users to the restaurant district and regional trail.
To accommodate this evolution, the applicant has enhanced pedestrian connections to ensure safety
will be improved. The original designs that could have resulted in significant cut-through traffic at
high speeds and uncomfortable conditions for pedestrians. The wide pedestrian zones and
amenities in the revised design will offer areas of pedestrian respite, will calm traffic, and will
Case No. WZ-24-01 / CCC ODP Amendment 7
accommodate all types of transportation modes while increasing the variety of commercial
services. The revised design and relocation of the restaurant district creates a unique sense of place,
ultimately improving the health, safety, and welfare of the site and community.
When originally approved, the PMUD zoning was found to add value to the property and
surrounding community by enabling a more robust, economically sustainable, and vibrant
commercial center. These changes in use and standards do not affect that finding.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
2. The development proposed on the subject property is not feasible under any other zone
district, and would require an unreasonable number of variances or waivers and conditions.
The existing and proposed variety of uses at Clear Creek Crossing is allowed only within a planned
development or mixed use zone district. The proposed changes cannot be achieved through a
variance and may only be achieved through an amendment to the uses and development standards
within the existing PMUD.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
3. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the types of uses allowed by the
change of zone, or the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are
under capacity.
The applicant and master developer are responsible for installing and upgrading infrastructure to
serve the development. They have been working with the appropriate service providers, including
water, sanitation, and fire districts as well as dry utility companies. The changes to uses and
standards will improve the ability for West Metro Fire District to serve the property.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
4. At least one (1) of the following conditions exists:
a. The change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with
the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies, and other
related policies or plans for the area.
The PMUD zoning is consistent with the City’s adopted plans, which have long called for a
mixed used regional development on the site. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as
“mixed-use commercial” with a “regional commercial center” and employment uses.
The change of zoning to allow the relocation of the primary pedestrian-oriented restaurant and
entertainment district meets the goals of the comprehensive plan by serving as a regional
destination and primary employment hub.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
b. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City
of Wheat Ridge is in error.
Case No. WZ-24-01 / CCC ODP Amendment 8
There is no evidence of an error with the current Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD)
zoning designation as it appears on the City zoning maps.
Staff concludes that this criterion is not applicable.
c. A change of character in the area has occurred or is occurring to such a degree that it is
in the public interest to encourage redevelopment of the area or to recognize the changing
character of the area.
The character of the area is changing as the mixed-use vision of Clear Creek Crossing is being
delivered. The current zoning allows for a wide range of uses in Planning Areas 3 and 6. At the
time that the PMUD zoning was approved, multi-tenant buildings with drive-thrus were a more
achievable land use that is now less desirable by tenants and the market. Additionally, the
multi-tenant restaurant and retail market is proving to be more viable at locations farther away
from the interstate that have more prominent views and opportunities to integrate with open
space.
The stronger pedestrian connection provided by the paseo will enhance walkability in the area
between the hospital and other future users and the proposed restaurant and entertainment
destination near the open space on the west side of PA 6.
Based on subsequent planning work, Evergreen Devco has refined their needs for PAs 3 and 6
and refined their vision for the services and placemaking they are seeking to provide to the
community. It is appropriate to recognize this evolution and establish standards that respond to
market realities and actualized improvements while maintaining the original intent of the
PMUD zoning.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
d. The proposed rezoning is necessary in order to provide for a community need that was
not anticipated at the time of the adoption of the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive
plan.
The zoning still achieves the mixed use vision outlined by Envision Wheat Ridge. Neither the
comprehensive plan nor the PMUD zoning, however, were detailed enough to recognize the
unique needs of today’s market. It is appropriate to recognize the changing market while
reinforcing the unique place that was always envisioned for Clear Creek Crossing.
Staff concludes that this criterion has been met.
Staff concludes that the criteria used to evaluate zone change support this request.
VI. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
Prior to submittal of an application for a zone change, an applicant is required to hold a neighborhood
input meeting in accordance with the requirements of section 26-109.
A meeting for neighborhood input was held on January 24, 2024. Ten (10) members of the public
attended the meeting in addition to the applicant and staff. General questions were asked about how the
Case No. WZ-24-01 / CCC ODP Amendment 9
original intent of the zoning is being maintained. The applicant addressed concerns regarding timing of
development and the strong desire for parks and services. A complete summary of the meeting is
included in Exhibit 5, Neighborhood Meeting Notes.
VII. AGENCY REFERRALS
A referral was sent to service agencies who may be affected by the change in uses and roadway
standards. There were no concerns expressed by the City of Wheat Ridge Engineering Division,
Building Division, Parks and Recreation, Police Department, Economic Development, Urban Renewal
Authority, or the ACC. Referral responses from other City departments and outside districts follow:
Wheat Ridge Engineering Division: The ODP is approvable. Minor corrections remain on the
Crossing Drive construction documents and plats that are required to be approved prior to issuance of
building permit. Coordination is required between private developments and the master developer
managing the regional infrastructure improvements on Crossing Drive.
West Metro Fire District: Can serve. Crossing Drive will need to be within a fire access easement.
Coordination will continue through development.
Xcel Energy: Can serve. Utility coordination is ongoing.
Century Link: No comments. Utility coordination is ongoing.
Comcast/Xfinity: No comments. Utility coordination is ongoing.
Consolidated Mutual Water District: Can serve. Utility coordination is ongoing.
Applewood Sanitation District: No comments. Utility coordination is ongoing.
Longs Peak Metro District: No comments. LPMD will construct, own, and maintain shared
infrastructure.
Denver Water: No objections. Any new infrastructure or improvements in PA 6 would need to meet
the requirements of the existing Denver Water easements.
Jefferson County Planning Department: No comments provided.
Regional Transportation District: No comments.
Colorado Department of Transportation: No objections. There is an Access Control Line along the
western edge of the interstate ROW, which may not be violated
Prospect Recreation and Parks District: No comments provided. Prospect Recreation and Parks
District will maintain the west side trail in the long-term.
VIII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff concludes that the proposed amendment to the zoning promotes the health, safety and general
welfare of the community and will not result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area.
Case No. WZ-24-01 / CCC ODP Amendment 10
Staff further concludes that the change in uses and standards in PAs 3 and 6 does not affect the demand
on public infrastructure. Finally, Staff concludes that the zone change is consistent with the goals and
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and the existing zoning. It is appropriate to amend the zoning to
recognize the changing market and multi-modal needs of the development.

Re: Project Narrative, Block 2 ODP Amendment
TBD Clear Creek Drive, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033
Clear Creek Crossing – Block 2
Dear Ms. Stevens,
On behalf of our future tenants and buyers, Evergreen – Clear Creek Crossing, L.L.C. is excited and
pleased to present a new ground up development project within Clear Creek Crossing for review by City
staff, Planning Commission, and City Council.
The primary purpose of this ODP Amendment is to revise the allowed uses, setbacks, build-to, street
sections, and multi-modal requirements impacting Planning Area 3 (PA 3: Vineyard District), and
Planning Area 6 (PA 6: Harvest District) with the intent of relocating the main restaurant and
entertainment hub from PA 3 to PA 6.
We are proposing to amend the allowed uses to permit freestanding buildings with drive thrus in PA 3.
The original ODP only allows drive thrus attached to multi-tenant buildings in this planning area. This is
based on a major change that came of the retail and restaurant environment from the COVID pandemic,
where traditional sit-down restaurants have needed to evolve to offer drive thru options. Another
change to the overall development was the lack of market interest in the approved Harvest Village SDP,
originally designed and approved on Block 2, which was for 3 multi-tenant restaurant/retail buildings
designed at the hard corner of 40th Avenue and Clear Creek Drive, and never came to fruition. The
entertainment and restaurant cluster, now named “The Lookout” is proposed to be relocated to
Planning Area 6. An SDP application has been submitted for the Lookout and is currently under review.
In exchange for allowing drive-thru uses in PA 3, we are proposing to limit the number of overall drive
thrus in Clear Creek Crossing overall to 5 total. Currently, there is no limit where they are permitted.
By moving the main retail and entertainment hub from Planning Area 3 (PA 3) to Planning Areas 6 (PA 6)
and allowing freestanding buildings with drive-thrus in PA 3, it makes it even more critically important to
provide enhanced connections. Crossing Drive is planned to be the main pedestrian route between the
hospital, PA 3, and PA 6. Our objective within Crossing Drive is to design this thoroughfare with
pedestrians in mind first and vehicles as secondary users. Crossing Drive should only be used by vehicles
that are directly visiting a parcel within Block 2 and not to be used as a short cut. The main pedestrian
route will be on the west side of Crossing Drive. Enhancements on this drive include:
A repea�ng pa�ern of colored concrete and banding
12-20’ wide sidewalks as opposed to 6’ everywhere else in the project
Raised & enhanced crosswalks to provide easy and safe access to all adjacent businesses
Benches located in the treescape for sifting and enjoying the outdoors
Overhead ligh�ng that provides a unique nigh ftime experience
Other proposed changes to the ODP include:
• Revisions to the lighting requirements as lighting minimums have decreased to reflect feedback
on property lumen levels and current best practice.
• Build-to requirements in PA 3 are proposed to be revised along Clear Creek Drive to just be
calculated from Crossing Drive to the PA4 entrance instead of all the way to 40th Ave. The Build-to
requirements along 40th Ave. are proposed to be revised from 0-20’ to be 0-50’ but the percentage be
revised from 30% to 50% in order to meet the intent but allow for vehicular circulation and fire access
on all sides of the buildings. Additionally, with the 5-7’ grade change from the retail pads to the 40th Ave.
sidewalk it is important to provide more distance in the build to calculation.
• Removing the limitation on parking at the corner of 40th and Clear Creek Drive. Since the
entertainment hub is no longer planned for this parcel the elimination of parking was to enhance the
public gathering and plaza space originally intended for this corner. With the new hotel use coming in
plaza space is spread throughout the parcel in smaller but multiple areas. This amendment retains the
5,000 sf plaza requirement in PA 3 and increases the plaza requirement to 10,000 sf in PA 6 as a trade
off.
• Incorporating street standards for Crossing Drive with the intent of creating an enhanced
pedestrian experience.
• Expanding upon multi-modal requirements to acknowledge the conversations that have been
had with the stakeholders at RTD, Intermountain Health, City of Wheat Ridge, and Longs Peak
Metropolitan District about the need for bus service.
ODP clean-up items include:
• Absolving the ACC since the main infrastructure and anchor tenants are now complete and
opened. The time commitment by the volunteer committee has proven to be too great given the
minimal impact on remaining parcels. Attendance in meetings and subsequent feedback to the user
applications has steadily declined in recent years as build out has reached a critical mass of
development. The standard city process in partnership with Evergreen on all future development will
remain in place.
• Adding references to the Lutheran Master Sign Plan which was approved in March of 2024 and
supersedes the Design Pattern Book requirements for tenant-related signage.
The Zone Change criteria (as outlined in Section 26.303.D) states that the planning commission and city
council shall base their decision in consideration of the extent to which the applicant demonstrates the
following criteria have been met:
1. The change of zone promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community and will not
result in a significant adverse effect on the surrounding area. By enhancing the pedestrian walkway of
Crossing Drive this will greatly increase the health and safety of pedestrians traversing the connection
between the hospital and The Lookout. While simultaneously has no adverse effects on the surrounding
area from what was originally planned.
2. The development proposed on the subject property is not feasible under any other zone district, and
would require an unreasonable number of variances or waivers and conditions. The original Harvest
Village plan that was approved for PA 3 did not work in reality on this site. By moving it to the west into
PA 6, it has been much improved from the reception of the market and the quality of buyers/tenants will
be of a greater impact to the City and the community.
3. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the types of uses allowed by the change of
zone, or the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity. The
existing infrastructure is not impacted by this zoning change as the utilities in place are adequate for the
revised proposed uses. The proposed uses that are requesting drive thru lanes will be constructed with
those individual SDP’s and the main roadway connections are deemed sufficient for these uses.
4. At least one (1) of the following conditions exists:

EXPLANATION OF AMENDMENTS
Case No. WZ-19-09
REVISION DATE: DECEMBER 2019
Administrative amendment of the ODP and DPB to modify the boundary between PA 1 and PA 2. The revised boundary reflects the
parcel and ownership boundaries and coincides with the SDP boundary for PA 1. The boundary was revised on all pages depicting
PA 1 and 2 including on all full site diagrams, planning area diagrams, and key maps. In addition, the planning area connectivity icons
were shifted to straddle the modified boundary and to maintain two connections.
CASE # WZ-19-10
REVISION DATE: JUNE 2020
The purpose of this (non-administrative) amendment is to increase the allowable height of hospitals to a maximum of 102’ in the Mill
District and to allow elevators and entry vestibules on hospital rooftops to a maximum height of 135’ for the purpose of transporting
patients to and from rooftop helipads. The maximum area of the vestibule and elevator is limited to 2,500 SF of building footprint.
CASE # WZ-22-03
REVISION DATE: OCTOBER 2023
The purpose of this amendment of Section 7.0 Signage is to:
• Revise/modernize brand design.
• Update the signage map to redistribute the signage locations in response to actualized improvements.
• Allow 1 additional primar y monumentation sign in PA 1 in lieu of 2 secondary monumentation signs in PAs 4 and 7, with a net
decrease to the number of signs overall.
• Allow trailhead signs in PAs 6 and 7 which will contain the Prospect Trail.
• Revise sign standards to match subsequent sections and to clean up conflicting language throughout.
CASE # WZ-24-01
REVISION DATE: MAY 2024
The purpose of this (non-administrative amendment) is to revise the allowed uses, setbacks, build-to, street, plaza, and multi-modal
requirements impacting PA 3 (vineyard District) and PA 6 (Harvest District) with the intent of relocating the main restaurant and
entertainment hub from PA 3 to PA 6, and in turn creating a premiere pedestrian corridor to connect users from 40th Avenue to and
through PA 3 and PA 6.
Subordinate clean up items include revisions to Section 6, Lighting, and Section 7, signage, Lighting minimums have decreased
to reflect feedback on property lumen levels and current best practice; and signage plans have been updated to conform with the
Lutheran Master Sign Plan specific to tenant-related freestanding signs in PA 1.
Additionally, this amendment marks the dissolution of the ACC (Architectural Control Committee). As the existing proposed and
realized improvements have already set a clear foundation, and as the existing build out shall be completed, further over-sight and
review by such a committee shall not be required. The standard city review process in partnership with the master developer shall
take over any formal or informal review roles.

1.0 - PROJECT OVERVIEW
10 CLEAR CREEK CROSSING
1.1 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Located at the southwest quadrant of Hwy 58 and I-70 in Wheat Ridge, Clear Creek Crossing is an 100-acre Planned Mixed-Use
development, including retail, entertainment, hotel, multifamily residential and employment land uses. With the site’s proximity to
Clear Creek, the Project will include a strong connection to the creek with its trail networks to and through the planned development.
Clear Creek Crossing’s community-driven approach will embrace simplicity in its design, taking cues from the natural beauty
and history of the location while taking advantage of visibility and direct accessibility to a major freeway corridor, providing the
community with exciting new opportunities to live, work, shop, dine, stay and play.
Clear Creek Crossing Outline Development Plan (ODP) includes eight (8) planning areas, each with unique development standards.
The site’s location at the junction of I-70 and Hwy 58 offers an opportunity for a wide mix of uses within the planned development,
given its superb visibility and accessibility, via planned ramps directly into Clear Creek Crossing. The site envelopes a significant
portion of Clear Creek and its associated trail, providing existing connections to regional trails and surrounding communities. Refer
to the Clear Creek Crossing ODP for the allowable use chart and a depiction of the individual planning areas. Specific Project
guidelines and land development standards are detailed in the Clear Creek Crossing Design Pattern Book, intended to provide clear
and consistent direction for the future development of the Project.

1.2 PURPOSE AND GUIDELINES
The Clear Creek Crossing Design Pattern Book, (the “CCC-DPB”) serves as a complementary document to the Clear Creek Crossing
Planned Mixed Use Outline Development Plan, (the “CCC-ODP”) approved pursuant to Case No. WZ-16-07. The purpose of the
CCC-DPB is to establish design and regulatory guidelines adopted by City of Wheat Ridge, intended as a guiding document that
works with the CCC-ODP. Included with the CCC-ODP submittal, the Clear Creek Crossing Vision Book articulates the conceptual
design direction of the planned mixed use development, whereas the CCC-DPB and ODP provide the framework for guiding the
development requirements and design direction through the various Specific Development Plan approvals that will be processed
throughout the duration of Project’s development.
The CCC-DPB establishes guidelines as well as standards for Clear Creek Crossing, through the application of rules and regulations
with the intention of creating a unique mixed-use environment optimally suited to its location at the confluence of a state highway
and interstate freeway. These guidelines will establish a framework to guide developers, users, tenants and their respective design
teams through the process of creating a clear and consistent design aesthetic that will work in unity with each of the Project’s
Planning Areas, while contributing to the greater whole that is the City of Wheat Ridge. While the goals established in the CCC-
DPB are meant to provide a clear and consistent direction for the initial and future development, they are also intended to be
reasonably flexible. As market conditions change and building uses and types evolve over time, these guidelines are intended to
encourage a level of design creativity that contributes to the uniqueness and sense of place envisioned for Clear Creek Crossing.
The guidelines and standards set forth must strike a balance between flexibility and predictability as follows:
1. Recognize that the Project will be developed over time;
2. Create and maintain a standard of quality that will sustain value;
3. Promote a cohesive development pattern, while allowing for diversity and variety in the design and construction of individual
Projects; and
4. Guide city planners, designers, developers and users/owners in making consistent choices that reinforce the Project goals.
13DESIGN PATTERN BOOK
PROJECT GOAL:
The overall goal for Clear Creek Crossing is to create a thriving mixed use environment that creates a strong sense of place and
provides the community with a gathering place in an environment that is safe, comfortable, casual and enjoyable to visitors of all
ages. The development plan will guide the combination of a variety of uses such as retail, restaurant, hospitality, entertainment,
multifamily residential, office and/or employment into a cohesive Project with strong patterns that are walkable and easily
identifiable, with well-balanced groupings of buildings that work together to enhance not only the overall character of the Project,
but its surroundings as well. The character of Clear Creek Crossing will be defined by its unique architectural style, pedestrian plazas,
multi-use trail connections and cohesive unifying elements that integrate its varied land uses into one Project that enhances the
community with its unique identity.
CORE DESIGN OBJECTIVES:
The core architectural and urban design values in the Clear Creek Crossing Development Plan should be implemented through the
following objectives:
• Create a diverse, mixed use context that creates a strong sense of place and a destination for the surrounding communities.
• Develop a master site plan that encourages connectivity of uses through vehicular and pedestrian circulation where possible
given the constraints present within the site.
• Provide a rich and diverse network of streets and pedestrian walks and bike ways that connect the Project both internally and
externally to surrounding neighborhoods, in a meaningful way providing the user with a unique experience not found elsewhere.
• Create a walkable outdoor experience that extends the hours of activities and provides the community with a central gathering
space that offers a variety of activities for everyone to enjoy.
• Establish an architectural theme that connects to the history of the site and community, while encouraging progressive design
with high quality and efficient materials.
1.3 PLANNING GOALS
1.4 DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION
The Clear Creek Crossing Design
Guidelines are organized into six
categories:
• Site Design
• Building Design /
Architectural Elevations
• Product Standards
• Landscape
• Lighting
• Signage
Each of the topics are then comprised of
three major components that shall provide
a guide for developers and designers
through the process.
• Design Intent
• Design Standards
• Design Guidelines
DESIGN INTENT
The Intent Statement serves as a big
picture goal with objectives establishing
principles for the design topic. In areas
where there may not be a specific
Standard or Guideline, the Intent
Statements are used to provide the design
team with direction in resolving any
questions or lack of clarity that the Outline
Development Plan does not address.
These Intent Statements should not be
used, in and of themselves, as Standards
or Guidelines.
DESIGN STANDARDS
Design Standards are prescriptive criteria
that provide specific directions based on the
Intent Statements. These Design Standards
denote issues that are considered essential
and will use the term “shall” to indicate that
compliance is required.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Design Guidelines provide the designers
with additional considerations and
alternative ways to accomplish the Intent
Statements. The Design Guidelines are not
mandatory criteria but will be considered a
strong desire of the development. Design
Guidelines use the term “should” or “may”
to denote direction considered appropriate
rather than mandatory in accomplishing
the Intent Statement.
14 CLEAR CREEK CROSSING
When developing the Clear Creek Crossing site plan, consider physical characteristics and surrounding interests.
1. First and foremost , recognize the impacts of traffic to and through the site, outside of any site design, but given the uses being
requested based on relevant market demand. Limit allowable development based on what “Phase Two I-70 Improvements” can
support.
2. Consider the relative peripheral location of the site, and how it connects to surrounding established neighborhoods as well as to
the region/city.
3. Consider physical characteristics of the site including topography as well as set public street and freeway ramp connections
and their related constraints such as A-line, the Colorado Department of Transportation “access control line” is used to regulate
the “control of access” to interstate rights-of-way and designated frontage roads for both transportation and non-transportation
purposes. All land owners adjacent to “access control lines” are restricted from each and every right of access, from or to any
part of Clear Creek Crossing Drive and the west-bound Interstate 70 off and on ramps, including the ability to ingress and egress
properties adjacent and abutting the access control. Recognize that there are two streets in the Project, connecting offsite to
the east and south and terminating in the Project where they connect to create a signalized intersection within the Project.
4. Ensure that site planning efforts on this phase of CCC will not constrain future phases, including Molson Coors land as well as
proposed extension/connection of Clear Creek Dr to Hwy 58, neither of which are included in this ODP.
Set site planning priorities to guide successful Project outcomes.
1. Create marketable parcels to support the feasibility of CCC:
a. Parcels, especially retail and hotel, should maximize opportunities of an interstate location, focusing on accessibility as well
as visibility to broaden market as much as possible, capitalizing on “drive-by I-70” traffic, whether as commute or mountain
trip.
b. Multifamily residential and hotel parcels should capitalize on view corridors as well as connections to other parcels for
working and shopping.
c. Employment parcel should respond to a user’s likely site design requirements to maximize marketability, including:
i. Multiple buildings with varying functions and required interconnectivity,
ii. Large parking fields to accommodate parking-ratio requirements and optimize access to buildings from parking lots,
iii. Ring road providing access to parking fields as well as building entrances,
iv. Allow walls, fencing, security gate, etc. depending upon Employer’s operational needs.
2. Recognize that retail sales tax revenues from future users/tenants support the overall feasibility of this Project.
3. Meet parking requirements of users as a peripheral location is vehicle-oriented.
Design circulation networks (vehicular/pedestrian/bicycle) to be effective onsite as well as offsite
1. Consider ‘who’ will be visiting CCC and facilitate where they need to go, both with the Project and in terms of access to/from CCC:
a. Employees and Employment Campus Visitors
b. Apartment residents
c. Hotel guests
d. Retail shoppers
e. Local and “Regional Traffic” Diners
f. Drive-through customers, whether to bank(s), fuel, restaurants or “other” such as pharmacy, car wash, package pick-up, etc.
g. Traffic with no intentions of stopping at CCC, including local traffic as well as “bypass” traffic avoiding I-70 issues.
h. Visitors to Clear Creek Trail, whether driving, walking or cycling to and through the site, potentially with an intention of
shopping or dining.
2. Maintain pedestrian/cyclist connectivity. Safety should be a high priority in design.
1.5 SITE PLANNING APPROACH
15DESIGN PATTERN BOOK
Determine the overall approach to site planning for the Project, from which development standards will be established.
1. Walkability and connectivity are high priorities for this mixed-use development.
2. Interstate visibility corridors are significant factors in marketability of parcels and drive value for many parcels. Given this
consideration, view corridors must be maintained and in many locations along both Clear Creek Dr. and 40th Avenue, the
street-oriented building placement is not the best approach to developing an effective master site plan.
3. Natural amenities define the uniqueness of the site and should be embraced whether through view corridors to the mountains
and creek, or through a circulation plan that integrates on the on-site multi-use trail and sidewalk system with existing sidewalks
and regional trails.
Planning Area (PA) access points should respond to Circulation Plan as well as likely uses within each PA and adjacent PAs.
1. PA site design should respond to street and pedestrian circulation system (see Sections 2.2 Streets & 2.3 Pedestrian
Connectivity) as well as future users’ site requirements in a way that supports parcel marketability but also promotes the Project
vision, connecting the proposed land uses within the Master Plan as well as to the community.
2. PA site design should consider requirements and constraints of physical characteristics of each respective area.
3. PA site design should facilitate connections between planning areas as well as throughout the Project in order to encourage an
optimally functioning mixed-use development.
The site planning approach for Clear Creek Crossing is influenced by several key opportunities as well as constraints presented
by the existing site conditions that drive the development plan. The proximity to Clear Creek as well as its regional trail, and
spectacular views of Green Mountain and South Table Mountain are significant to the site as a whole and especially to Planning
Area 2’s multi-family residential use; its location directly adjacent to this corridor aims to embrace the Creek and associated views
and to provide convenient access for the residents to the Clear Creek Trail. The I-70 visibility corridor drives the location of all the
site uses, especially as it pertains to visibility of retail and commercial uses. The CDOT “access line” or “A-Line” which restricts any
access drives in this defined area associated with the freeway ramps, limits access point flexibility to several parcels also directing
the overall traffic patterns in the development. Also, the steep slopes throughout the site drive where access points can be placed
along public roadways and influence opportunities for cross access between planning areas. The Denver Water easement that runs
through the site constrains land use options given the restrictions on various elements within that easement. Lastly, the 100-year and
500-year flood plains further constrain the site overall.

1.6 CONCEPT DESCRIPTION & SITE PLAN
Clear Creek Crossing will focus on creating a strong sense of place, protecting the area’s heritage while introducing a wide array of land
uses to a site located at a key confluence of a major traffic corridor. The planned development will celebrate the intrinsic values that define
the City of Wheat Ridge, embracing the simple beauties of the landscape in an authentic gesture. Through a community-driven approach,
Clear Creek Crossing has been planned around the priority of connecting the surrounding neighborhoods and the Clear Creek Trail. The
unified design elements will connect the various uses within the planned mixed use development particularly at the ground plane, with site
signage. Pedestrian circulation, and landscape elements providing common visual cues across the development.
Through the use of unifying design elements, including architectural style, landscape design, urban design with special attention
paid to its public spaces, this Project is envisioned to be unique and authentic in its uses and architectural style, while still providing
a cohesive experience for the user. The overall design theme for the Project is a modern agrarian design aesthetic that blends
traditional agrarian forms and materials with modern architypes and users. The Project is envisioned to be one grown from the
earth with a strong emphasis on the base plane and the buildings integration with the site and surrounding context. With the site’s
proximity to Clear Creek, along with the rich history of the area, the overall character of the Project will focus on a strong connection
to the creek through the trail networks, signage, wayfinding graphics, and other site amenities.

2.1 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
2.2 DISTRICTS
The CCC-ODP includes eight (8) Planning Areas. Each Planning Area has a distinct set of development standards, providing
an overall foundation upon which all future development shall be built. In the CCC-ODP, employment uses abut the interstate
within PA-1, providing maximum visibility and access from high traffic corridors, specifically I-70 to the east and Hwy. 58 to the
north. Residential uses are thoughtfully placed to the south of Clear Creek and west of the employment uses in PA-2, providing
opportunities for beautiful, unobstructed mountain and creek views, as well as excellent trail access. The balance of the planned
development allows various commercial uses including retail, office and hotel uses. Refer to the CCC-ODP map for the permitted
uses chart by Planning Area.
The Districts have been created to define groupings of the eight (8) Planning Areas in the Project. The Districts are intended to
provide design direction unique to the use and character of these defined areas, while still maintaining cohesive theming through the
use of architecture, landscape, urban design and signage within the Project. There are five unique District types within the Project:
MILL
Employment uses, encouraging medium to high density development, with uses including corporate campus-type uses such
as office, research & development, hospital, and university/education uses. Parking is likely to be a combination of surface and
structure. Building height, density and setbacks reflect the site’s location at the junction of a State highway and on an interstate
freeway.
VINEYARD
Commercial uses including stores, shop buildings, banks, hotels, offices, and restaurants including both full-service and quick-serve
and entertainment including theater and gaming. Buildings shall be placed according to the requirements of the respective use
and in consideration of the characteristics of the site, while placing a priority on circulation, walkability and common site amenities.
Parking will be in surface lots, with potential for a structure to serve entertainment uses. Site design at the pedestrian level, will take
an urban approach in that the site will encourage walkability, connecting Planning Areas and various tenants/users/owners within
them. Where possible, siting of buildings should prioritize fronting to public or private streets with parking located behind to help
establish placemaking.
HOMESTEAD
Multifamily residential uses, including apartments and/or town home formats. Buildings shall be placed according to the
requirements of the use and in consideration of the characteristics of the site, while placing a priority on circulation and walkability to
other Districts including the adjacent Clear Creek Trail. Parking will be in surface lots; with above-grade garages tucked under units
in buildings or in separate buildings allowed as well.
HARVEST
Retail and Entertainment, in the form of large-format retail with accessory small retail, restaurants and hotel uses will create
the Harvest District. Buildings shall be placed according to the requirements of the respective use and in consideration of the
characteristics of the site particularly its shape and vehicular/pedestrian connections to other Districts. Parking will be in surface
lots with potential for a structure to serve more intense retail or hotel uses. Signage will be “brand-forward” as required by national
operators but will meet the requirements of the Clear Creek Crossing Master Sign Package.
WAGON
Multi-use trail and sidewalk networks connect to all other Districts, as well as locations off-site to the north at Clear Creek Trail and
to the south, at the planned trail by Prospect District connecting to the existing Applewood Golf Course and adjacent neighborhood.
The trails will include common surface design, wayfinding signage, trash receptacles, benches and other amenities. Landscape will
be natural and native to the region. Shade will be provided by trees and a small structure near a small surface parking lot located at
the end of Clear Creek Dr. Additional street parking will be located along Clear Creek Dr, near Clear Creek and for convenient access
to the existing regional trail system.

2.3 STREETS
Access to the surrounding thoroughfares will provide multiple opportunities to enter the development including connections planned
for the Project density and trips produced. Four access points are planned to accommodate the development, including a direct
access to and from Interstate 70 through the use of planned hook ramps, a 40th Avenue underpass connection to Youngfield Road,
a connection to the south to 32nd Avenue and a future extension of Clear Creek Drive to the north of Clear Creek Crossing and
connecting with Highway 58.
There are two primary streets within Clear Creek Crossing, both extending and connecting to existing streets adjacent to the Site. Clear
Creek Drive is a planned four-lane street with a dedicated turning lane extending southerly to its alignment with the existing Youngfield
Service Rd, where it connects to 32nd Ave at a signalized intersection, just west of the existing I-70 freeway bridge. To the north, Clear
Creek Drive will cross a planned signalized intersection with the planned I-70 ramps, aligned at approximately 38th Ave, after which
the collector street will cross the Site diagonally to the northwest, intersecting with 40th Ave. Clear Creek Drive will terminate near the
northwest boundary of the Site in a cul-de-sac near a planned trailhead and trail, which will connect to the existing Clear Creek Regional
Trail, along the creek. A future phase of the development to the north and west future phase eventually will extend the street beyond the
cul-de-sac to its proposed connection with Hwy 58. The other planned primary street which runs east/west within the Site, 40th Avenue is
a two-lane street with a dedicated turning lane aligned to connect to existing 40th Ave, just east of the Site boundary at its intersection with
Youngfield Service Rd. The existing 40th Ave is also a two-lane street with a dedicated turning lane, extending westerly, under the I-70 40th
Ave bridge where the street intersects and terminates at Youngfield Rd.
The Project will require a variety of intersection types and design to enhance safety and connectivity throughout the site. Within
Clear Creek Crossing, there are four signalized full movement (primary) intersections and five additional full movement and two
limited movement intersections at various planned drive locations, primarily along Clear Creek Dr. Treatments of the planned primary
intersections, including the I-70 ramp entrance to Clear Creek Dr, as well as the 40th Ave and Clear Creek Dr intersection may utilize
design enhancements to include, raised crosswalks, change in pavement pattern and/or materials and additional signage.

2.3.1 PUBLIC STREET DESIGN AND CIRCULATION
DESIGN INTENT
• Introduce a street and sidewalk
pattern, orientation, and hierarchy that
encourages walkability between and
through the Districts.
• Design and construct streets that
support a multi-modal environment,
including vehicular, pedestrian and
bicycle traffic.
• The streetscape treatments should be
an element that provides continuity
throughout the Project.
• Maintain pedestrian safety at primary
intersections within the Project.
• Signage on streets should be a
cohesive design element that clearly
identifies the Project and its users
from the streets
DESIGN STANDARDS
• Ensure clear sight lines are maintained at public street intersections to provide for
vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle safety.
• Public street design shall follow the appropriate street section templates included
in 2.3.3 Public Street Sections in this document.
• Clear lane marking and signs for bicycle and vehicle travel shall be maintained
throughout the Project’s public streets.
• Vehicle access driveways on public streets shall meet the following requirements:
a. No vehicle access driveways may be closer than twenty-five (25) feet to any
property line except when used for joint access for two (2) or more parcels
within a planning area. Flexibility in this requirement is allowed should the
Planning Areas be further subdivided in the future.
b. Vehicle access drives on the same parcel shall be spaced at not less than 100’
intervals.
c. Curb cuts in commercial districts shall not be more than 35’ in width when
serving an individual parcel and shall not in any instance be less than 20’.
d. All curb cuts and driveways shall be not less than 10 degrees off
perpendicular to the street it serves.
• Any potential vehicular traffic conflicts with users of multi-use trails shall be
minimized.
• Tree lawns (area between sidewalk and street) shall be landscaped with street
trees and sod, or in lieu of sod a combination of shrubs, ornamental grasses, and
perennials.
• Street tree selection and planting design along public streets shall be designed to
unify the project through consistent application of landscape patterns.
• Landscape design within tree lawns shall not interfere with walkability, accessibility,
or safety along public streets.
• RTD Bus Transfer Station to be designed and constructed within Clear Creek
Crossing to provide connectivity to the remainder of the Wheat Ridge networks
and greater metro area. There is a collective commitment from both the public and
private stakeholders to make this a reality, refer to Multi-Modal section 2.4.4. for
more details.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
• Shared curb cuts and driveways are encouraged between multiple parcels. Where
access points are shared or where adherence to these standards would leave a
parcel without vehicular access, curb cut setback or spacing requirements may be
adjusted.
• Use of wayfinding signage to communicate access to trail connection amenities
is highly encouraged. Provide wayfinding signage at key locations along public

50 CLEAR CREEK CROSSING
2.4 PEDESTRIAN AND MULTI-MODAL CONNECTIVITY
A major component of Clear Creek Crossing is pedestrian connectivity, both internal to the site, as well as externally to existing
adjacent neighborhoods and the Clear Creek Trail. This connectivity is intended to serve the needs of the community encouraging
use of the trail. Access to the Clear Creek Trail will be of importance in site planning efforts for the Development, as Clear Creek
and its associated trail not only drives the design inspiration of Clear Creek Crossing, but also provides a regional connection to the
community that should be celebrated.
Special emphasis placed on quality and functionality of the pedestrian environment improves social interaction, connects the
existing fabric of the adjacent neighborhood and encourages travel from destination to destination within the larger community
without the use of a motor vehicle.
Crossing Drive Paseo has been identified as the main pedestrian connection between the main hospital entrance at 40th Ave to
the other main entrance to “The Lookout”. The stretch of privately maintained roadway will be distinctly different from the other
roadways within Clear Creek Crossing and is identified as the premiere pedestrian corridor in the development.
Multi-Modal transit is crucial to the overall pedestrian connectivity of the site to the surrounding region. Integrating multiple methods
of transportation such as, walking trails, bike lanes and public transit enhances accessibility and fosters a vibrant urban environment
where residents and visitors can navigate between work, leisure, and community spaces with ease.

texture to maintain scale of the facade.
• EIFS or Synthetic Stucco: Allowed on the ground floor,
street facing facades directly abutting the R.O.W. in a limited
amount (20%) and should only be used as ornamental
details such as parapet caps, cornices, belt courses, window
details, etc.

Development (southeast and southwest of the Clear Creek
Drive and W. 40th Avenue intersections)
Property Owner(s): Evergreen Clear Creek Crossing LLC
Property Owner(s)
Present?
Yes
Applicant: Derek Lis
Applicant Present? Yes
Existing Zoning: Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD)
Existing Comp. Plan: Regional Commercial Center, Mixed-Use Commercial
Existing Site Conditions: Clear Creek Crossing is located on the west side of Interstate-70 at W. 40th
Ave. just west of Applewood Village. The Clear Creek Crossing site is currently under development
and will contain a variety of uses, ranging from residential to retail and will include the new location of
the SCL Health Lutheran Hospital Campus. To the west is unincorporated Jefferson County, including
Coors Brewing Company water storage facilities and a residential neighborhood. To the south of Clear
Creek Crossing is the 70 West Business Center, including a La Quinta, Denny’s, Good Times, and a
gas station.
The properties of focus include Lot 1, Block 2 of Clear Creek Crossing Subdivision Filing No. 3 at the
southeast corner of W. 40th Avenue and Clear Creek Drive; and Lot 1, Block 4 of Clear Creek
Crossing Block 4 Replat at the southwest corner of W. 40th Avenue and Clear Creek Drive. Pursuant
to the Clear Creek Crossing Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) zoning, these areas are
identified as Planning Areas (PA) 3 and 6 respectively. PA 3 falls within the “Vineyard Commercial
District,” intended for commercial uses including retail, restaurant, and entertainment; and PA 6 falls
within the “Harvest District”, intended for large-format retail with accessory small retail, restaurants
and hotel uses. Crossing Drive is planned to intersect PA 3 and extend through PA 6 connecting to the
western spine road. Lot 1, Block 2 measures approximately 10.5 acres in size; and Lot 1, Block 4
EXHIBIT 5: NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING NOTES
Case No. WZ-24-01 / CCC ODP Amendment 16
measures approximately 10.7 acres in size. The Lifetime Fitness Facility is currently under
construction at the south portion of PA 6.
The property is zoned PMUD and is regulated by the Clear Creek Crossing Planned Mixed Use
Outline Development Plan (ODP), Design Pattern Book, and Vision Book. The original Clear Creek
Crossing ODP was approved in 2018 with subsequent amendments in 2019, 2020, and 2023.
Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal: The applicant is proposing to amend regulations and
development standards currently listed in the ODP for PAs 3 and 6.
The ODP amendment proposal aims to:
• Relocate the primary pedestrian retail district that was originally anticipated in PA 3 to the
farthest west side of PA 6.
• Add free-standing buildings with drive-thrus as a permitted use in PA 3.
• Amend PA 3 setback and build-to requirements.
• Memorialize pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, to include Crossing Drive enhancements
within PA 3 connecting through PA 6.
Tenants interested in developing sites within PA 3 after the ODP is amended currently include Home 2
Suites, Birdcall, and Bank of America. The master developer is interested in developing a portion of
PA 6 as a pedestrian-oriented retail district (aka “The Lookout”), with 3 tenant retail buildings
surrounding a park and the trail on the west side. Prospective tenants of the Lookout include Recess
and Prost. The subject ODP amendment will impact prospective tenants of PAs 3 and 6.
The following is a summary of the neighborhood meeting:
• In addition to the applicant team and staff, 10 members of the public attended the neighborhood
meeting. The participant list is below, which serves as the virtual sign-in sheet.
• Staff discussed the site, its zoning and potential future land use.
• The applicant discussed their proposal.
• 5 members of the public spoke at the meeting.
• The applicant and members of the public were informed of the process for the ODP amendment.
• The members of the public were informed of their opportunity to make comments during the
process and at the public hearing.
The following items were discussed:
• How will the original intent of Clear Creek Crossing vision be maintained? We were promised
that Clear Creek Crossing would be reminiscent of Wheat Ridge history and encompass
pedestrian & bicycle-oriented spaces. The community wants a sense of place, central gathering
spaces, and local businesses/restaurants. There is a trail planned on the west side of Clear Creek
Crossing that will connect to Clear Creek trail to the north, and a park/plaza in between which
will include an amphitheater, gaming areas, and live music. The trailhead and public art that
are in now are reflective of the original theme and tenant architecture is reflective of the vision.
The internal street will also be enhanced to create a walkable and pedestrian-friendly
environment. The applicant spoke to the prospective tenants and goal to bring in local
businesses. Staff noted that enhancement of the corridor will be required and standards will be
Case No. WZ-24-01 / CCC ODP Amendment 17
incorporated in the ODP, and the original vision book and design pattern book will remain in
place.
• The changes feel vehicular-oriented, car-focused, and non-essential. The applicant spoke to
their desire to maintain the original intent of the zoning and minimize vehicular-focused and
franchise uses.
• How big will the park area be on the west side? The park will be about a ½ acre in size and will
be designed around bike and pedestrian routes.
• Attendees emphasized the need for accessibility to green space.
• What is the timing anticipated for these areas to be developed? The applicant spoke to their goal
to be open in Spring 2025, subject to city entitlements.
• Will there be any more residential? Are they all rentals? No additional residential is planned
and all are rentals.
• Are there any car washed planned? There are no car washes planned at this time.
• How many hotel rooms and residential units are there that we will be competing with for
services? The hospital is also a factor. There are currently 310 apartments in the first phase of
apartments and 250 being constructed now. The Hampton Inn hotel being constructed on the
west side has about 130 hotel rooms, and the new hotel planned in PA 3 will have approximately
120 rooms.
• Residents spoke to the desire for a larger park space.
• Residents spoke to the Hwy 58 connection. Staff stated that they have been analyzing traffic
and each development is required to provide traffic generation analysis which is reviewed with
each application. The connection to Hwy 58 is still a possibility, depending upon when traffic
warrants are met, but we have not reached that point yet.

Planning Commission 2
Case No. WZ-23-11 / Home2 at Clear Creek Crossing
JURISDICTION:
All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this
case.
I. REQUEST
Case No. WZ-23-11 is an application for approval of a Specific Development Plan (SDP) for the
purpose of developing a 101,215 square foot, 4-story hotel containing 119 guest rooms. The subject
site is located on the east side of Clear Creek Drive and south of the W. 40th Avenue and Clear Creek
Drive intersection, within the Clear Creek Crossing planned development, known as Planning Area 3
of Clear Creek Crossing. It is a part of Lot 1, Block 2, Clear Creek Crossing Retail Subdivision
which is being resubdivided from one lot into three lots concurrently with this SDP.
This request for SDP approval is the second step in a two-part approval process pertaining to planned
developments. The first step occurred in 2018 when Planning Commission and City Council
approved the Clear Creek Crossing Planned Mixed Use Outline Development Plan (ODP) which
established zoning (Case No. WZ-16-07). The zone change also included approval of a Vision Book
that establishes the intended design and architectural themes and materials, as well as a Design
Pattern Book (DPB) that includes the more substantive development regulations.
The second step is approval of the subject Specific Development Plan (SDP), which focuses on
specific details of a development such as site design, architecture, landscaping, and drainage. Section
26-302 of the Municipal Code allows for concurrent or sequential applications for the ODP and SDP.
This is one of many SDP applications to be heard before the Planning Commission for the different
phases or “Planning Areas” as the mixed-use project at Clear Creek Crossing is developed. SDPs
must be found to be compliant with the ODP and supporting documents in order to be approved.
Each SDP application must be heard at a public hearing before the Planning Commission, who is the
final deciding body for SDP approval.
Architectural Control Committee
An Architectural Control Committee (ACC) was established specifically for this Clear Creek
Crossing development to ensure compliance with the Design Pattern Book, third-party review,
consistency across the project, and to conduct schematic design review prior to the City’s planning
review. The ACC is comprised of 6 members: 3 appointed by mutual agreement between the
Developer and the City of Wheat Ridge Community Development Director, 2 seats held by the
Developer, and 1 seat held by a City of Wheat Ridge Planning Division staff member.
The ACC has fulfilled the requirement to review this SDP two times: first, prior to the City’s pre-
application meeting and second, as part of the City’s referral process. The ACC has provided written
approval of the subject SDP as their referral response, provided in Exhibit 7.
Planning Commission Review
As previously noted, the Planning Commission is the final authority for approval of a SDP. The
intent of the public hearing is to allow a publicly appointed body and the public at large to verify
staff’s conclusion that the project meets the intent and standards of the underlying zoning. The plan
sheets and exhibits relevant to this purpose are included. Construction details, such as final utility and
Planning Commission 3
Case No. WZ-23-11 / Home2 at Clear Creek Crossing
grading plans, are not included for review by Planning Commission and are under review by the
Engineering Division.
II. PROPERTY HISTORY
Property History & Development Status
Rezoning to a planned development in the City of Wheat Ridge involves a two-step process, and for
the subject property, the 2018 approval of the ODP and DPB comprised the first step. These two
regulatory documents establish the allowed uses and development standards for the property and
establish access configurations for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles. While rare in Wheat Ridge, a
design pattern book is common for developments of this size, for which formatting flexibility
including photos and graphics are necessary to explain substantive development standards. An ODP
amendment is currently under review, which includes proposed changes to standards in this planning
area, and must be approved in order for the subject SDP to be developed (see conditions of approval).
Links to the current ODP, DPB, and Vision Book documents can be found at the following link:
https://www.ci.wheatridge.co.us/431/Guiding-Documents.
The second step for development in a Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) requires approval
of Specific Development Plans for each building, lot, or phase. Several SDPs have already been
approved at Clear Creek Crossing, including the Outlook apartments (Phases I and II) and
Intermountain Health Lutheran hospital campus, Hampton Inn hotel, Life Time Fitness Facility,
Foothills Credit Union, Maverik (previously Kum & Go) gas station, and Dutch Brothers coffee shop.
Related Application
Planning Commission is also reviewing Case No. WZ-24-01, an application which amends some of
the development standards for the Clear Creek Crossing zoning and Design Pattern Book. The
location of Home2 was originally conceived as a restaurant/retail district, but that district has been
relocated to a more appropriate location on the west side of Clear Creek Drive. The hotel is a
complementary use for the hospital and will now be well within walking distance. The zoning
amendments proposed in Case No. WZ-24-01 accommodate this evolution of the overall plan for
Clear Creek Crossing. The Home2 SDP relies on the approval of these specific zoning amendments:
Modifying the build-to/setback requirement, and
Modifying the permitted locations for parking.
Land Uses and Zoning
The site is currently vacant. To the north across W. 40th Avenue is the newly constructed
Intermountain Health Lutheran hospital and medical office building. To the west across Clear Creek
Drive, a Hampton Inn hotel is under construction; and there are applications in for review for a
Bonfire Burritos drive-thru restaurant, Primrose School, and ‘The Lookout’ restaurant corridor.
There are also applications in for review for a Birdcall drive-thru restaurant and Bank of America on
the vacant sites to the east, and Crossing Drive is planned to border the subject site along the east side
and be developed concurrently with the Home2 site. The lot to the south is vacant. See Exhibits 1
and 2, Aerial and Zoning Map.
Planning Commission 4
Case No. WZ-23-11 / Home2 at Clear Creek Crossing
III. SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The site is located in Planning Area 3 (PA 3) which is also called the Vineyard District denoting this
area as a commercial subdistrict in the development (Exhibit 3, Design Pattern Book Excerpts). This
area is slated for retail and complementary commercial uses, and hotels are permitted uses in this
area. Key components of the site design are described below. The site data table on the cover sheet
confirms the SDP complies with the development standards provided by the ODP (Exhibit 4, Specific
Development Plan).
Site Design & Internal Circulation
The vacant, 2.32-acre site is proposed to be developed with a hotel that is approximately 101,215
square feet in size and four stories tall. One vehicular access point is proposed into the site from
Crossing Drive to the east, which is planned to be constructed concurrently with the Home2 site and
will intersect PA 3 connecting W. 40th Avenue to Clear Creek Drive. Crossing Drive will feed into
signalized intersections and will extend southwest across Clear Creek Drive to connect to future
commercial development. Pedestrian connections are proposed to the north, west, south, and east to
tie into surrounding streets and planning areas.
Parking
The SDP reflects 117 proposed parking spaces, including five accessible spaces and 37 EV parking
spaces, plus 36 bike parking spaces. The parking is located west and south of the building and is
screened from W. 40th Avenue by the building and from Clear Creek Drive by landscaping. Bike
parking is split between multiple locations: at the building entry on the south side, at the Crossing
Drive access on the east side, and at the proposed intersection plazas to the west and south, to provide
a convenient location for customers, trail users, and general users of the overall Clear Creek Crossing
Development. Hotels are required to provide one parking space per room plus one space per
employee, and vehicular parking reductions of up to ten percent of required parking are allowed
contingent on extra bike parking being provided in lieu, which the applicant has elected to use here.
The amount of parking provided complies with the Design Pattern Book for the use and size of the
building.
Building Orientation
The Design Pattern Book (DPB) establishes setback and building orientation requirements specific to
each development district within Clear Creek Crossing. For PA 3 within the Vineyard District, there
is a build-to requirement along W. 40th Avenue, which is proposed to be amended under separate
application, and if approved will result in a build-to requirement of 50% of the buildings along W.
40th Avenue to be located within 0-50’ of the property line. As proposed, 55% of the building will be
within 0-50’ of the property line along 40th Avenue.
There is a current prohibition on parking at the W. 40th Avenue and Clear Creek Drive intersection,
which is also proposed to be eliminated through the ODP amendment under separate application.
The ODP must be approved in order for Home2 to be developed as proposed, and this has been added
as a condition of approval of this SDP.
The proposed building orientation will result in an enhanced pedestrian experience along W. 40th
Avenue and allow for easy pedestrian access to the three surrounding signalized intersections and to
the future commercial development within Clear Creek Crossing to the southwest. The hotel
complies with setback and build-to standards of the proposed ODP and DPB.
Planning Commission 5
Case No. WZ-23-11 / Home2 at Clear Creek Crossing
Architecture
The architectural style is driven by the Clear Creek Crossing Design Pattern Book and Vision Book
which call for a modern agrarian aesthetic that blends traditional agrarian forms and materials with a
modern feel. It also requires strong attention to be paid to the pedestrian realm. The applicant has
evolved the building design based on feedback from staff and the ACC over the past six months
resulting in building form, massing, and materials that are consistent with the vision of Clear Creek
Crossing and surrounding development.
The building is proposed to be approximately 56 feet tall and the architecture is comprised of
primarily stone, fiber cement, glazing, and EIFS with metal and wood accents. The materials carry
over to all sides of the building resulting in four-sided architecture. The building contains stone and
wood base elements to enhance the pedestrian realm, and awnings with wooden corbels to enhance
the entries and tie into the modern agrarian theme. The porte cochere is proposed to be constructed
primarily of wood and enhanced to accentuate the modern agrarian theme. The north elevation
incorporates similar stone elements and wood accents as the front (south) to improve the view from
W. 40th Avenue, even though this is technically back of house. Overall façade transparency on the
street facing façades meet requirements of the Design Pattern Book. An analysis of proposed
architecture and compliance with standards of the Design Pattern Book can be referenced on the
elevation sheets 9-10 in the SDP (Exhibit 4, SDP), and architectural perspectives can be found in
Exhibit 5.
Landscaping, Open Space, and Amenities
The project meets the minimum requirement for 20% of the gross lot size to be landscaped by
utilizing perimeter landscaping, corner plazas, parking lot landscaping islands, streetscape trees and
planting beds near the building with a variety of trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses and perennials. A
low retaining wall and exposed foundation with architectural treatment are proposed on the north side
of the building with the wall extending east of the building and transitioning to the W. 40th Avenue
stair access to avoid steep slopes and enhance the view and access to W. 40th Avenue. Enhancements
to Crossing Drive are proposed along the east side of the site, to include additional landscaping, and
to be constructed by the master developer under separate application. The project is providing for
more trees and shrubs than required.
The Design Pattern Book includes plaza requirements for PA 3, with a minimum of 5,000 sq. ft. of
plaza required in this subdistrict. Home2 is providing two plaza spaces, one at the Clear Creek Drive
and W. 40th Avenue intersection and the other at the Clear Creek Drive and Crossing Drive
intersection, which fulfills the PA 3 requirement and includes 15% landscaping and amenities.
Grading, Utilities, Drainage and Traffic
This SDP complies with all grading, utilities, drainage, and traffic plans for the overall Clear Creek
Crossing development. Sanitary sewer and water service will be provided by Applewood Sanitation
District and Consolidated Mutual Water Company, respectively. All internal site utilities will be
privately owned and maintained by Longs Peak Metro District and will be placed in utility
easements. The utilities are generally located beneath the streets and drive aisles.
Planning Commission 6
Case No. WZ-23-11 / Home2 at Clear Creek Crossing
IV. SDP CRITERIA
Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria outlined in Section 26-305.D. The
Planning Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the
following criteria have been met:
1. The proposed specific development plan is consistent with the purpose of a planned
development as stated in section 26-301 of this article.
The purpose of utilizing planned development zoning is to provide flexibility while
accommodating well-designed, innovative developments that demonstrate efficient use of land
and may not be feasible under a standard zone district. The SDP achieves these goals and
proposes a high-quality building product in close proximity to the interstate, residential, and
commercial facilities, supporting the mixed-use and interstate-oriented vision for the area. The
site and building were designed to reinforce the character of Clear Creek Crossing as established
in the Design Pattern Book.
Staff concludes this criterion has been met.
2. The proposed specific development plan is consistent with the design intent or purpose of
the approved outline development plan.
The SDP is consistent with the intent and character statements of the outline development plan.
The site incorporates quality landscaping and places of respite for site and trail users and follows
architectural guidelines to fit the modern agrarian theme of Clear Creek Crossing.
Staff concludes this criterion has been met.
3. The proposed uses indicated in the specific development plan are consistent with the uses
approved by the outline development plan.
The SDP is consistent with the use standards of the outline development plan. Hotels are
permitted uses in PA 3 or the Vineyard District of Clear Creek Crossing which includes the
subject site.
Staff concludes this criterion has been met.
4. The site is appropriately designed and is consistent with the development guidelines
established in the outline development plan.
The site and buildings were designed to adhere with development standards for the Vineyard
District. This includes the setback and building placement requirements applicable to PA 3,
landscaping coverage, vehicle and bicycle parking, and gathering space. It integrates with the
existing and planned development sites to the north, west, south, and east, and takes into
consideration vehicular and pedestrian circulation.
Staff concludes this criterion has been met.
Planning Commission 7
Case No. WZ-23-11 / Home2 at Clear Creek Crossing
5. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the subject property, or the
applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity.
All responding agencies have indicated they can serve the property with improvements installed
at the developers’ expense. All required infrastructure and services are provided for within this

VI. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff has concluded that the proposed SDP is consistent with the planned development regulations,
with the goals and policies of the City’s guiding documents, and with the proposed ODP and
supporting documents. Because the review criteria support the SDP, staff recommends approval of
the Specific Development Plan.
As noted above, the Planning Commission is compelled to review the application against the SDP
criteria for review. The intent of the Planning Commission’s review is to allow a publicly appointed
body and the public at large to verify staff’s conclusion that the project meets the intent and standards
of the underlying zoning.

Specific Development Plan Request
The proposed Specific Development Plan (SDP) is for a 119-unit hotel, Home2 Suite by Hilton, on a 2.32-
acre site located within Planning Area 3 (Vineyard District) of the Outline Development Plan (ODP) of the
Clear Creek Crossing PMUD.
This SDP application include a specific site plan, building elevation, and landscape plan consistent with the
character of the approved ODP. The proposed site improvements include the extension of utility
infrastructure from the proposed Crossing Drive, grading and small retaining wall and associated parking
for the hotel use.
Project Description
The section below provides an overview of the proposed development as shown on the Specific
Development Plans.
Site Layout
The proposed Home2 Suite hotel is situated on a 2.32-acre site in the central region of the Clear Creek
Crossing master development. To enhance the public view and prioritize walkability, the 4-story,
71,017-square foot building is located on northeast portion of the site occupying the street frontage
of W. 40th Ave. and future Crossing Dr. The primary guest entrance will be located on the southside of
the building towards guest parking. Hotel amenities, including indoor pool and outdoor patio, are
located on the north side of the building to create an inviting experience at the pedestrian level.
The associated parking, a total of 117 spaces, are located at the rear of the building and further
buffered from the street by a minimum 10-foot landscape area. An additional 36 bicycle parking will
be provided and located near public street but visible from the public entry. Sidewalks will be provided
around the building to all the point of entry and to the public sidewalks.
Crossing Drive, proposed public street located on the east frontage, being approved and design under
a separate application. Driveway access is proposed from this new street and will provide the
necessary connectivity for vehicular and pedestrian access for the overall development.
Landscape
The proposed landscaping is intended to enhance the overall design of the site with 28.3% of the site
area being landscaped. While landscaping is provided within the parking areas, in the parking end
islands, the majority is provided along the street frontages and major street intersections.
Two enhanced open space areas, generally at intersections of 40th Ave and Clear Creek Drive and at
Clear Creek Drive and Crossing Drive, will be provided. These open spaces will have seating and
increase landscape to serve as a public amenity for the overall development, will be accessible from
the public sidewalks, and serve as a buffer between the public area and the hotel. Along 40th Ave,
landscape will enhance primary corridor of the development with large landscape areas consisting of
trees and shrubs.
3 | P a g e
The proposed planting consists of a total of 38 trees (including ornamental) and over 478 shrubs and
perennials of various varieties that are consistent with the CCC Design Standards and Guidelines.
Architecture
The building is proposed to be 4-stories, with an overall height of 56 feet. The primary entrance to the
building is to the south for ease of access for visitors from the surface parking lot. The primary public
entrance is emphasized by a porte cochere made of timber for visitors can drive up for check-ins. The
north elevation, along 40th Ave that serves as the primary frontage of the property, proposed an
enclosed pool area and outdoor patio. This section of the building is an overall height of 16.33 feet,
with the main hotel portion of the building being stepped back from the public street, to create a
comfortable walkable experience for the pedestrian along the sidewalk.
The building exterior incorporates various materials that will create a unique architectural design that
will enhance the overall development and complement the natural environment. The materials
include primarily EIFS (various textures and colors) and nichiha fiber cement siding in the upper stories
of the building. The ground level will be primarily natural stone to provide human scale in the lower
portions of the building. Accent colors and materials are proposed throughout the building to further
create visual interest.
The overall design of the building follows the Clear Creek Crossing Pattern Book as it provides varying
exterior materials and architectural expression with the use of canopies and wall plane projections
throughout all elevations. Furthermore, the overall design values the human scale at the pedestrian
level while also maintaining practical function for the use.
Specific Development Plan Criteria for Review
The section below provides a response to the SDP criteria review outlined in Code of Ordinance Chapter
26, Section 26-305.D.
1. The proposed specific development plan is consistent with the purpose of a planned
development as stated in section 26-301 of this article; and
The proposed SDP is consistent with the purpose of the planned development given that the site is
designed to conform with the Clear Creek Crossing ODP and Design Pattern Book. This includes
furthering the goal to create a thriving mixed-use environment that creates a keen sense of place
for visitors, which will enhance the overall goals of this planned development.
2. The proposed specific development plan is consistent with the design intent or purpose of the
approved outline development plan; and
The proposed SDP is consistent with the design intent of the ODP as the proposed use is allowed
within the Vineyard District (Planning Area 3) and the site is designed so the building is pushed
towards the primary street frontage (40th Ave) to encourage walkability and sense of place.
Furthermore, the proposed hotel building proposes an enhanced architectural design that creates
a welcoming experience at the pedestrian level to create a sense of place and encourage walkable
outdoor experience.
4 | P a g e
3. The proposed uses indicated in the specific development plan are consistent with the uses
approved by the outline development plan; and
The proposed use is a Home2 Suite, a 119-unit hotel, which is a permitted use in the Vineyard
District (Planning Area 3) as outlined in the Clear Creek Crossing ODP.
4. The site is appropriately designed and is consistent with the development guidelines established
in the outline development plan; and
The proposed site improvements are design to be consistent with the development standards
established in the Clear Creek Crossing Design Pattern Book (CCC DPB) for the Vineyard District. The
building is placed towards 40th Ave. to establish the primary frontage corridor and character within
the overall development. All surface parking will be located away from 40th Ave. and towards the
secondary street frontage (Clear Creek Drive).
The overall design of the building is consistent with the urban design in the development by
providing an enhanced building base that creates a sense of place. The landscape plan further
enriches the pedestrian experience and overall site design by providing plantings along the street
frontage, creating a buffer the sidewalk and surface parking. A large open greenspace with seating
will be provided at the intersection of 40th Ave & Clear Creek Dr, which is consistent with the
Vineyard District design standards.
5. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the subject property, or the applicant will
upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity; and
Under a separate entitlement package, Crossing Drive is proposed to be constructed between 40th
Ave and Clear Creek Drive, which include additional pedestrian connection between this section of
the development. Water and sewer service connections are shown from the existing mains within
Crossing Drive that will be adequate for the proposed development.
6. The proposed specific development plan is in substantial compliance with the applicable
standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual, Streetscape Design Manual,
and other applicable design standards.
The proposed specific development plan is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards
for the PMUD, including the development standards established in the CCC DPB. The overall
intention of standards is to ‘create a unique mixed-use environment that creates a standard of
quality while allowing for diversity and variety in the design and construction of projects.’ The Clear
Creek Crossing design standards are based on objectives of creating a strong sense of place that
encourages a connectivity of uses that provides a rich and diverse street and pedestrian network
that is walkable and progressive architectural design.
The proposed SDP achieves these goals with the overall design of the project. The building proposes
to use of quality exterior material and establishes architectural design that takes into consideration
the human scale and maintains the architectural theme established for this development.
Additionally, the site layout and proposed landscape maintain the view corridor along 40th Ave with
the street-oriented building and enhanced landscaping along the street.
