Public Comment on Agenda Items 1. New Civic Center Campus design process 2. Civic Center Land Exchange Agreement Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Patrick Goff, City Manager DATE: March 9, 2026 SUBJECT: New Civic Center Campus Design Process ISSUE: During the 2022 budget process, City Council asked staff to prepare a Facilities Master Plan (FMP) to assess the current and future needs of City facilities. The City contracted with Stantec to develop a comprehensive FMP for all primary City functions, with the goal of developing a roadmap and living documents for facility decisions over the next decade. City Council consensus was reached at the February 5, 2024, study session to move forward with the recommendations of the FMP and to bring back next steps. One next step was to contract with an architectural firm to explore the potential reuse of the Lutheran Legacy Campus as a future home for the Wheat Ridge City Hall and Police Department. City Council approved a contract with Anderson Hallas Architects on September 23, 2024 for this scope of work. Representatives from Anderson Hallas will present an update on the planning process to date and recommended next steps at the March 9, 2026 study session. PRIOR ACTION: • City Council approved a contract with Stantec Architecture, Inc. on June 13, 2022 for the development of an FMP • Recommendations from the FMP were presented to City Council at the February 5, 2024 study session where consensus was reached to move forward with next steps • City Council approved a contract with Anderson Hallas Architects on September 23, 2024 to conduct a City Facility Feasibility and Planning Study • City Council consensus was reached at the June 16, 2025 study session to advance the Courtyard design alternative and contract for the next phase of design development and cost estimation BACKGROUND: The Lutheran Hospital comprises a complex series of twelve additions built around the original 1921 Pavilion, which served as the foundation of a former tuberculosis treatment center. These additions span nearly eight decades of development, ranging from a significant 1932 expansion to the final construction completed in 2008. Study Session Memo – New Civic Center Campus Design Process March 9, 2026 Page 2 The Campus additions vary significantly in scale and condition, from modest annexes to expansive multi-story wings. Each addition reflects the operational needs and construction practices of its era, resulting in a patchwork of building systems and architectural styles. Central heating and hot water are provided by a main mechanical plant, while ventilation is handled by individual units distributed throughout the various additions. This layered development poses both challenges and opportunities for adaptive reuse. Following evaluation of the existing conditions of the Hospital, four initial options were explored to evaluate potential adaptive reuse strategies and new construction opportunities across the Campus. Each option considered the architectural character and condition, structural feasibility, existing systems, program compatibility, and long-term suitability for a new City Hall and Police Department. The four initial scenarios included the reuse of two newer additions (from 1984 and 2008), a hybrid approach incorporating the historic structures with the 1960s addition, and an entirely new ground-up building. Following review with the City and E5X, further investigation was directed toward the Historic Preservation and Reuse Option. This approach offered the most promising balance between honoring the site’s legacy, supporting sustainable practices, and meeting programmatic goals. This resulted in two refined scenarios centered around the 1921 and 1932 structures: one scenario retaining and rehabilitating the 1960s addition, and another that removes most of the 1960s construction in favor of a new addition and courtyard to improve daylight access and workspace quality. Both reuse scenarios include preservation of the 1932 chapel—for potential community or commercial use—the adaptive reuse of the 1932 Women’s Wing, and the restoration of the remaining wall of the original Study Session Memo – New Civic Center Campus Design Process March 9, 2026 Page 3 1921 pavilion. Each scenario also proposes a re-imagined central pavilion, maintaining its historic shape while adapting it for contemporary civic functions and modern building materials. The study also evaluated each option for site planning, adjacencies, phasing strategies, and preliminary cost implications, recognizing the balance between preservation goals, programmatic needs, and long-term flexibility for city operations. The 1960s Rehab and Courtyard Alternatives both share a foundational commitment to preserving and celebrating the most significant historic elements of the Lutheran Legacy Campus. Central to both schemes is the rehabilitation of the 1932 Women’s Wing, the retention and restoration of the remaining 1921 Pavilion wall, and the preservation of the 1932 Chapel—though the latter is not currently programmed for City use. These elements are valued not only for their architectural character, but also for their deep ties to the site’s history as a former tuberculosis treatment center and longstanding healthcare campus. Careful surgical demolition of surrounding structures is required to protect the exterior integrity of these historic components. In both alternatives, the preserved masonry facades will be cleaned, repointed, and stabilized, with previously infilled openings thoughtfully reopened to allow for daylight and visual connection. These efforts aim to retain the original craftsmanship and presence of the historic buildings while adapting them for new civic uses that honor their legacy. Additionally, both alternatives include a re- imagined version of the original 1921 central pavilion, positioned between the restored west wing, and a re- imagined east wing to serve other community functions. The shared commitment to integrating green space, restoring historic Study Session Memo – New Civic Center Campus Design Process March 9, 2026 Page 4 materials and designing purpose-built environments reflects the City’s and design team’s shared vision: to create a civic destination that is respectful of its past, responsive to present needs, and adaptable for the future, all in service to the Wheat Ridge community. City Council consensus was reached at the June 16, 2025 study session to advance the Courtyard design alternative and contract for the next phase of design development and cost estimation. FINANCIAL IMPACT: To support early decision making a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate has been developed as part of this study. This estimate provides a high-level view of projected construction costs. It includes broad cost assumptions, built-in contingencies, and allowances to account for the preliminary nature of the design and unknown conditions typical at this stage. If the project progresses and the design is further developed, this estimate will be refined through more detailed quantity takeoffs, updated unit costs, and alignment with market conditions. Sq.

Authorize Continued Civic Center Design and Cost Validation Staff recommends Council direct continuation of design development and updated cost estimation for the New Civic Center in coordination with Anderson Hallas Architects to: • Confirm updated construction costs; • Validate project scope; • Refine site integration and infrastructure coordination with the Redeveloper; • Inform future financing discussions. This step ensures that Council maintains cost clarity before final construction authorization. 2. Direct Development of a Financing Strategy Staff recommends Council direct preparation of a comprehensive financing strategy for future consideration, including: • Evaluation of potential bonding options; • Phasing strategies; • Impact on long-term debt capacity; • Operating budget implications; • Timing relative to referendum risk and construction market conditions. No construction contract will be executed without separate Council approval. 3. Direct Development of a Public Engagement Plan Given the significance of relocating City Hall, staff recommends Council direct development of a structured public engagement and communication plan to: • Clearly explain the rationale for relocation; • Describe financial implications; • Highlight preservation of open space; • Address referendum considerations. Transparency will be critical to community understanding and trust throughout this process. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Anderson Hallas Presentation 2.

The City of Wheat Ridge owns and maintains multiple facilities across the community and currently faces an immediate need for additional space to support the effective operation of municipal functions. The primary goal of this project is to consolidate City functions into a single, centralized civic campus located within a historically significant site that both meets the City’s operational needs and honors the rich heritage of Wheat Ridge. The Lutheran Legacy Campus was identified as the preferred location to achieve this vision in the City’s Facilities Master Plan. This feasibility study evaluates the previously developed Facilities Master Plan, assesses the existing Lutheran campus for its suitability to accommodate City uses, and identifies which buildings can be adaptively reused for municipal functions. Originally developed in the early 20th century as a tuberculosis treatment center, the Lutheran Legacy Campus site includes several historic structures of architectural and cultural significance that have been obscured over time by successive building additions. Along with the City, the project team quickly identified several historic portions including a section of the original 1921 west wing, the 1932 chapel, and several mid to late 20th century additions that provide the potential for re-imagining a modern, efficient civic facility and community hub. EXPLORATION & PROCESS In the fall of 2024, the City of Wheat Ridge engaged Anderson Hallas Architects to lead the process of re-imagining a portion of the Lutheran campus as a new civic and community center for the City. The project kicked off with a high-level evaluation of the existing hospital campus, looking at existing conditions, existing documentation, challenges, and opportunities for potential reuse. In addition to analyzing the hospital and surrounding site, it was essential to understand the City’s operational needs and workflows. The team reviewed and validated information from the previous Facilities Master Plan and gathered additional data through walkthroughs of existing spaces, interviews with department leadership, and questionnaires. Additional site visits were conducted to the City’s existing facilities slated for relocation, accompanied by interviews and surveys with current staff to inform programming and operational requirements. 5FEASIBILITY STUDY Ex EC U T I vE S UM M A R Y 5 + Four initial scenarios (detailed within the Appendix) were developed, ranging from the reuse of two newer additions (from 1984 and 2008), reuse of historic 1921, 1932, and a portion the 1960 structures with a new addition, to completely new construction. Concurrently, the site’s selected developer was advancing the residential portion of the master plan, and several iterations of the City and residential boundaries and program elements were coordinated to ensure a cohesive and functional site. This resulted in two refined scenarios (detailed within the Appendix) centered around the 1921 and 1932 structures: one scenario retaining and rehabilitating the 1960s addition, and another that removes most of the 1960s construction in favor of a new addition and courtyard to improve daylight access and workspace quality. These preliminary design concepts were also presented to the City of Wheat Ridge City Council for initial feedback and support (refer to presentation slides in the Appendix). An additional meeting with City of Wheat Ridge and the developer confirmed a preferred layout (Refer to Preferred Layout section) that was developed after re- evaluating site planning, adjacencies, phasing strategies, preliminary cost implications, and recognizing the critical balance of preservation goals, programmatic needs, and long-term flexibility for city operations. The preferred layout is a combination of both refined scenarios in which the 1921 west wing, 1932 women’s wing, and portions of the 1960s addition structure are planned for adaptive reuse. Along with a re-imagined Central pavilion and East wing, reflecting the historic configuration while adapting it for contemporary civic functions and modern building standards. A new connecting structure to the south, dedicated to the Police Department, will provide strategic adjacency and future flexibility. The preferred layout also took into account the 1932 chapel and Blue House designated to remain on the site but beyond the City Hall’s programmatic scope. The City confirmed the decision to relocate the Police Department to the site and an additional master plan study was undertaken to address the department’s secure parking and operational requirements. Through this iterative process, several additional design concepts were developed in collaboration with the City’s selected developer as part of their accelerated development schedule. The team investigated the parking garage situated at the SW corner, SE corner, beneath the main structure; centrally accessed off of 38th ave, west access from Lutheran Pkwy W; single-level vs. multi-level; connected to the new building vs. disconnected, etc. These concepts were then refined to a preferred site layout (refer to Site Plan section & Parking garage conceptual layout within the Appendix). This effort required close coordination with both the developer and the City to define the portions of the site that could accommodate both entities programmatic needs. This report documents the full program, site plan, architectural block diagrams, concept narratives, and system design narratives, along with recommended next steps as the City continues to develop this integrated civic center. This civic transformation will involve selective demolition of large portions of the former hospital, and the preserved elements will offer a meaningful architectural anchor and a tangible connection between the community’s past and future. We look forward to continued collaboration with the City as we further develop these concepts into purpose-built, resilient, and inspiring spaces that support evolving municipal needs. CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS6 Ex EC U T I vE S UM M A R Y 6 + Lutheran Legacy Campus, Anderson Hallas Architects, 2024 7FEASIBILITY STUDY PUR P O S E & N EE D 7 + Purpose & Need EXISTING FACILITIES As outlined in the project description, the primary vision of this master plan is to consolidate City functions into a single, centralized civic campus that supports efficient municipal operations while honoring the rich heritage and identity of Wheat Ridge. Over time, the City of Wheat Ridge has outgrown its existing municipal facilities, creating space constraints that no longer support the full range of City services or anticipated future needs. As a result, several departments have been relocated to leased buildings to accommodate staffing and operational growth. The City’s primary municipal facility is the existing City Hall and Police Department located at 7500 W. 29th Avenue. However, this building does not provide sufficient space (approximately 36,523 interior net square feet) to co-locate all City Hall departments (refer to Program Needs Section), resulting in a portion of City staff being housed off- site at the PNSB North building located at 7490 W. 45th Avenue. This physical separation of departments has led to inefficiencies in day-to-day operations, including challenges with coordination, communication, and collaboration between teams. In addition, the ongoing cost of leasing supplemental office space places a continued financial burden on the City, reinforcing the need for a consolidated, purpose-built civic campus that can better serve both staff and the community. Reusing the existing City Hall and other offices would require a substantial addition and significant interior reconfiguration to accommodate the full range of the City’s operational needs. However, due to the construction type and configuration of the existing building, the flexibility to accommodate such an addition is not feasible. The existing City buildings present several additional challenges, including low ceiling heights, limited opportunities for daylighting, and insufficient on-site space to support current and future programmatic requirements. The Lutheran Legacy Campus was identified by the City as a prime site to consolidate City functions into a centralized civic campus with architectural opportunities that both meets the City’s operational and programmatic needs while honoring the rich heritage of Wheat Ridge.

The current complex spans a century of development, ranging from a significant 1932 expansion to the final construction completed in 2008 and more recent tenant finish projects. Following the relocation of healthcare services to the new Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital at 12911 W 40th Ave, Wheat Ridge the campus has been predominantly vacated and awaits its next life as a community hub. The campus additions vary significantly in scale and condition, ranging from modest annexes to expansive multi-story wings. Each addition reflects the operational needs and construction practices of its respective era, resulting in a patchwork of building systems, structural approaches, and architectural styles across the campus. Seams of each addition can be identified in some locations with finish changes, ceiling height changes, and expansion joints. While the roofs and exterior walls generally appear to be in decent condition, a more in-depth analysis of existing conditions and review of available as-built documentation are recommended to fully understand long-term performance, maintenance needs, and potential constraints. Interior spaces are largely fragmented and compartmentalized, with dated finishes that limit flexibility and do not support contemporary workplace standards and healthy material practices. Structurally, the building appears to be functionally sound however, further evaluation would be required to confirm structural capacity for adaptive reuse and potential modifications. Central heating and hot water are provided by a main mechanical plant, while ventilation is handled by individual units distributed throughout the various additions (refer to the detailed existing conditions narratives within the Appendices). This layered pattern of development presents both challenges and opportunities for adaptive reuse, requiring a thoughtful balance between selective intervention, system upgrades, and strategic preservation.

Master Plan Boundary Finish Transition Ceiling Transition Expansion Joint CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS10 HIS T O R Y 10 + LUTHERAN LEGACY CAMPUSThe Lutheran Legacy campus exhibits a distinctive history of representing the evolution of medical care with incremental expansion over several decades, consistently serving as a facility for medical care (refer to chronological timeline graphics in the following pages). The original tuberculosis sanitarium building, constructed in 1921, consisted of a Central Pavilion flanked by two wings to the east and west, set within a rural landscape that drew patients nationwide seeking Colorado’s fresh air and restorative climate—an early architectural expression of principles that continue to inform contemporary health- and wellness-focused design. In 1932, two significant additions were completed: a chapel on the east side and a Women’s Wing on the west, both of which remain today. During the 1960s, a two-story addition was introduced to the south, and it is now enclosed by subsequent expansions. By 1967, a plain single story addition had been constructed in front of the original 1921 wing, followed in 1970 by a large seven-story Tower addition to the south. In 1972, a separate Medical Office Building was erected farther to the south and was later physically connected to the hospital. Between 1984 and 1990, another major seven-story addition linked the Medical Office Building to the main hospital complex, accompanied by three single-story additions constructed between 1985 and 1990 on the south side of the 1970s Tower. A two-story Emergency Department addition was completed to the west in 1992. In 2008, the original 1921 Central Pavilion and East Wing were demolished and replaced with a new six-story Tower. Over time, these incremental expansions resulted in a highly complex conglomeration of hospital structures. The central utility plant located to the west of the main hospital building is understood to have been constructed in the 1970s. Refer to the following pages for a timeline with diagrammatic images of the additions over time and a color-coded isonometric of the building construction. In August, 2024 the previous owners of the Lutheran Legacy Campus, Intermountain Health, vacated the site and the developer E5x Management Inc. Subsequently purchased the 100-acre site to begin the redevelopment process in conjunction with the City of Wheat Ridge Facility Master Plan Study.

The initial summary matrix focuses on City Hall departments and shared public spaces, establishing a baseline for departmental needs, public interaction levels, and internal relationships. The program provides a framework for understanding current operations and anticipated future growth. Core City Hall functions include Administration Services, City Manager’s Offices, Community Development, and Municipal Courts. Police Department spaces are documented using a parallel structure, with divisional space allocations aligned with the City Hall methodology in the following section. Public Works and Parks and Recreation departments are not proposed for relocation to the Lutheran Legacy Campus. The program was developed through a collaborative, multi-step process informed by prior planning efforts, walkthroughs of existing facilities, and direct engagement with City staff. Departmental questionnaires and leadership interviews clarified operational needs, workflow challenges, and desired improvements, enabling the project team to develop a holistic understanding of departmental functions, adjacencies, and opportunities for improved efficiency and collaboration. The program matrix includes both dedicated departmental spaces and shared functions and incorporates a 35% TARE (non-assignable square footage) factor to account for circulation, restrooms, walls, mechanical systems, and other support areas. Each department is evaluated by its level of public interaction (high, medium, or low), and preferred adjacencies are identified to support efficient operations. These relationships are further explored through diagrammatic layouts later in the report. Staff workspaces include a range of configurations to support varying roles, work styles, and schedules, including private offices, dedicated workstations, shared workstations, and hoteling or touchdown spaces for staff without permanently assigned desks. This mix of workspace types balances focus, collaboration, flexibility, and efficient use of space. Conference rooms are organized into three general size ranges to support varying meeting capacities and functions. Larger conference rooms accommodate formal meetings, trainings, and interdepartmental collaboration and may include amenities such as wet bars, cabinet storage, and space for supplies and refreshments. Medium and smaller conference rooms support day-to-day meetings, coordination sessions, and focused group work. Huddle rooms are small, informal meeting spaces typically accommodating four to five people and are intended for short meetings, quick collaboration, and virtual sessions, generally including a display screen or monitor. Phone booths are small, enclosed spaces for one to two occupants, providing acoustical separation for private calls, virtual meetings, or training sessions and minimizing disruption within open office environments. Wellness rooms provide private, quiet spaces that support staff well-being. This program matrix is intended to function as a flexible planning tool, guiding ongoing discussions related to space needs, departmental coordination, and long-term operational goals. The program will continue to evolve as the project advances and as the City refines its service model, staffing strategies, and civic priorities.

This approach allows for a clear understanding of the operational requirements, interdepartmental relationships, and levels of public interaction specific to law enforcement. Each division’s unique functions are considered individually while supporting an integrated and cohesive overall department structure. The program addresses a range of space types tailored to the needs of each division, including dedicated staff offices, secure storage areas, confidential printing and processing rooms, and specialized areas for public interaction. Shared internal support spaces for PD—such as break rooms, locker rooms, a gym, and a training room—are included to enhance functionality, promote wellness, and foster a sense of departmental cohesion. Additionally, the program identifies potential opportunities for shared space between the Police Department and the Municipal Courts. This program is designed as a flexible and evolving tool, supporting both current operational demands and future growth. It reflects an understanding of how physical space impacts police workflow, security, and community presence, while also encouraging collaboration and efficiency. As with the City Hall program, adjacencies, space types, and public access levels will continue to be studied and refined to guide planning decisions throughout following phases of design. CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS16 SPA C E A DJ A C E N C Y D IA G R A M S 16 + Space Adjacency Diagrams BACKGROUNDThe following adjacency diagrams illustrate the spatial relationships within City Hall and Police Department programmatic areas. These diagrams serve as an essential planning tool to inform the overall layout strategies for the proposed building scenarios. Adjacency diagrams are used to analyze how departments interact, ensure efficient workflows, and support operational needs. (Refer to Appendix for sub-department adjacency diagrams) By mapping relationships between spaces, the diagrams help identify opportunities for shared resources, improve circulation patterns, and enhance staff and public experiences. They also support early decision-making by visualizing priorities such as security zoning, public access, and staff collaboration. The goal is to create a building that is both functional and flexible—encouraging impromptu collaboration, streamlining interdepartmental communication, and supporting long-term adaptability. ADJACENCY DIAGRAMS LEGEND: Primary Adjacency A Primary Adjacency represents a critical functional relationship requiring a direct physical connection between two spaces or departments. This could include shared workflows, equipment, or frequent collaboration. These adjacencies typically guide key layout decisions in the planning process. Secondary Adjacency Secondary Adjacency reflects a desired proximity between spaces without requiring a direct connection. These areas should be on the same floor or within easy access to support occasional interaction or shared resources. This level of adjacency offers flexibility while maintaining operational efficiency. Tertiary Adjacency Tertiary Adjacency indicates a looser spatial relationship, where being within the same building or general area provides value. These connections are beneficial but not operationally critical. They support convenience, familiarity, and informal collaboration over physical proximity.

These spaces benefit from daylighting strategies to improve occupant comfort and reduce reliance on artificial lighting. Interior rooms adjacent to clerestories, skylights, or light wells may fall into this category, as well as areas where there are security concerns with views into the space. Exterior Access Exterior Access identifies main entrances and exits as well as opportunities to connect interior spaces with exterior program elements. These connections are essential for both public-facing functions, code required egress and operational efficiency. They also help integrate the building with the surrounding site and context. View This designation highlights spaces where visual access to the outdoors is preferred to enhance user experience, circadian rhythms and well-being. Prioritizing views can support mental health, reduce stress, and create a stronger connection to nature. These spaces are typically placed along exterior walls with minimal obstructions. Sight Lines Sight Lines call out visual connections between key spaces that support wayfinding, security, or functional oversight. These connections can improve intuitive navigation for visitors and reinforce departmental transparency or supervision needs. They are particularly important in lobbies, security areas, corridors, or open office zones. Private Private spaces are designated for departments or functions requiring acoustic separation, confidentiality, or limited public access. These areas often involve sensitive work or staff-only operations. Their location and access points are carefully controlled for security and discretion and/or may be located away from main public access and activity. Semi-Private Semi-private spaces serve internal functions but occasionally interface with the public, such as shared meeting rooms or service counters. These areas strike a balance between openness and controlled access. Their design supports limited engagement while maintaining staff focus and privacy. Public Public spaces are intended for general access, accommodating community engagement, customer service, and civic functions. These areas are designed to be welcoming, navigable, and inclusive. Placement often considers proximity to entrances, lobbies, and shared amenities.

Hub – creating an activated, central gathering space for the city. Habitat – a biophilic, healthy, & inspiring workspace. The design concept developed through conversations with the City of Wheat Ridge leadership prioritizes the key values of daylighting, adaptive reuse, unified City spaces, and a healthy, active, biophilic workspace. The preferred alternative proposes renovating the 1921 three-story west wing, the 1932 three-story women’s wing, and a portion of the 1960s hospital wing addition while re-cladding areas where adjacent structures have been removed, allowing for substantial improvements to the building’s thermal envelope and overall energy efficiency. Incorporating a re-imagined central pavilion and east wing inspired by the historic configuration, along with a new addition positioned behind the historic façade and organized around a central courtyard. To the east, the existing chapel is retained, with potential connections to the new east wing. (Refer to Site Plan and Block Diagrams in subsequent pages). The design optimizes an east–west axis for passive solar gain and photovoltaic integration, while courtyard daylighting introduces views to natural elements that prioritize occupant health, wellness, and a high-quality work environment. Key spaces that anchor the design include the lobby and entry plaza, envisioned as a civic beacon that will establish a clear and welcoming presence within the City Hall campus. Together, these spaces will guide arrival and orientation while evolving into active gathering places. The entry gallery will further elevate this experience, unfolding as an interpretive, visually compelling space that will celebrate the layered history of both the hospital and the City of Wheat Ridge (refer to the block diagrams in the following pages). Complementing these civic-facing elements, the interior incorporates collaborative and flexible work environments, developed in close partnership with the City, that can adapt and expand as the City’s operational needs evolve, fostering interaction, transparency, and a sense of openness. Access to nature is threaded throughout the overall design, with an usable roofdeck, a shared central courtyard, and landscaped connections that bring daylight, greenery, and biophilic elements into the daily experience of staff and visitors alike. All of these spaces will be designed through an overarching lens of efficiency, public service, and fiscal responsibility while balancing occupant well-being. 23FEASIBILITY STUDY SIT E P LA N 23 + Site Plan SITE PLAN The proposed site plan was developed with collaboration of the City and the chosen developer’s overall master plan for the adjacent residential campus. The direction to incorporate a parking garage into the overall master plan for the Police Department created additional challenges with the 5 acre boundary of the City Hall site. Several iterations were conducted to study the placement and orientation of a parking garage (additional studies located within Appendix) which ultimately resulted in a proposed two story below grade garage adjacent to City Hall. As represented within the site plan, the master plan design integrates multiple historic components slated for restoration to support future City Hall operations, including the 1921 West Wing, the 1932 Women’s Wing, and the 1960s hospital addition. These retained structures will undergo extensive rehabilitation and targeted demolition to preserve significant features for adaptive reuse. Refer to the block diagrams and Design Narratives for additional information on the scope of rehabilitation. A newly constructed central pavilion and east wing will house the remaining City Hall functions and be directly linked to the new southern Police Department Building, with all elements arranged around a unified central courtyard. The master plan organization is guided by the aim of supporting an active and visible City Hall presence along W. 38th Avenue, while also prioritizing efficient use of space. The re-imagined historic building configuration, paired with an entry greenspace, is envisioned as a civic focal point for the community. Parking positioned along the site perimeter takes advantage of existing parking and drive lanes as well as existing grading. The parking has been sized based on full-time employee counts in accordance with the City of Wheat Ridge Zoning Code (see parking analysis in the Appendix). Additional parking requirements will be validated during subsequent design phases. Located to the west a four-way stop and vehicular entry ramp provide access to the secure Police Department underground parking garage. Currently designed to maximize security and efficiency of circulation and construction, this site design will continue to be refined as the design progresses. Compatibility with the surrounding residential campus informed the overall site plan configuration. Landscape buffers of plantings are strategically located along the perimeter of the City Hall program to provide a measured separation between civic and residential uses. The buffer between the new Police Station and the proposed residential campus to the south is especially critical for maintaining appropriate security, privacy, and programmatic separation. An emergency access road is also integrated into this zone, further reinforcing the intentional spatial buffer. The area to the southeast of the new civic center will be designed in collaboration with surrounding development and is intended to provide public amenity space that allows for pedestrian connections to the surrounding residential development. CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS24 SIT E P LA N + 25FEASIBILITY STUDY PAR K I N G A NA L Y S I S 25 + Parking Analysis BACKGROUNDThe following parking count summary is a preliminary analysis based on available information to comply with the City of Wheat Ridge’s applicable development code requirements. Parking calculations reference the use-specific standards outlined in Table 3 of the MU-LLC Zone District, with assumptions based on anticipated building occupancy, programming, and operational needs. Where applicable, potential reduction options up to 25% were calculated for reference. Further parking analysis in future phases will determine the applicable parking reductions allowed. The analysis includes a breakdown by use type and includes the secure Police Parking located within the underground parking garage. In the chart below, the overall parking count based off the entire campus 88,420 SF along with the calculation for 25% reduction, and PD secure set amount. The inclusion of an underground parking garage appears to exceed the overall parking needs when calculating PD and City Hall office use types together. This is the overall gross square feet for the entire building not the interior floor area devoted to specific office use type due to the master planning level of this project. values are conservative to provide flexibility. PARKING COUNTS SUMMARY TABLE *Parking stalls provided for City Hall and Police Department spaces only include those located within the civic boundary defined per 12/12/2025 site plan. Adjacent Senior Center, Chapel, Blue House, etc. parking needs have been excluded from these calculations.

This narrative focuses on the area in and around the historic structures that will be adaptively re-used and converted into a City Hall building and a separate yet connected Police Department building. The narrative below identifies demolition, site grading & drainage, utility infrastructure, and potential drainage strategies that will be required for the new buildings. A more detailed description of the site improvements related to parking, vehicular & pedestrian circulation, site materials and ground covers, and site programming is provided in the landscape narrative. CODE AND DESIGN STANDARDS Design of this project will be guided by the following: • Wheat Ridge Architectural and Site Design Manual • Wheat Ridge Water District • Wheat Ridge Sanitation District • City of Wheat Ridge Municipal Zoning Code • 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design • 2024 International Fire Code (IFC) • Mile High Flood District, volumes 1-3 • Refer to individual discipline narratives for other applicable codes EXISTING SITE INFRASTRUCTURE The existing site is composed primarily of surface parking lots and various building wings of the former Lutheran Medical Campus. A majority of the site and building elements will be demolished in a phased construction approach to support the adaptive re-use project and site redevelopment. Asphalt parking areas are anticipated to be completely reconstructed. It is recommended that construction waste be diverted to facilities that can reuse materials where applicable. Water and sanitary sewer infrastructure for the existing building(s) is supplied from the south and east, respectively, in an area to be reconstructed as part of a private redevelopment project. This utility infrastructure is assumed to no longer be available for use and, therefore, new utility infrastructure is planned to support the city’s building functions. It is anticipated that existing water infrastructure in W Lutheran Parkway to the west (16-inch main), N Lutheran Parkway to the east (12-inch main), and W 38th Avenue to the north (12-inch main) will remain. Where feasible, existing utility infrastructure 27FEASIBILITY STUDY CIvIL E NG I N E E R I N G D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 27 + should be re-used or utilized to supply new water mains. Coordination of water main connections with the surrounding private development and associated infrastructure is recommended, where feasible. Sanitary sewer infrastructure may be available east of the site; however, it is understood that the local sanitation district requires new building services and sewer mains as part of the redevelopment. Therefore, it is assumed that new sanitary infrastructure will be required for the new municipal building uses and that existing infrastructure will be removed or abandoned. Where feasible, onsite and/or offsite storm sewer infrastructure should be utilized as an outfall for new stormwater facilities that are anticipated within the municipal redevelopment site. It is understood that an existing stormwater detention facility located east of the municipal redevelopment site will remain and that the municipal redevelopment will be accounted for in the broader redevelopment project sizing of this facility. SITE EMERGENCY ACCESSEmergency access will be provided on the north, west, and south sides of the building and will be required to meet the requirements of the International Fire Code (IFC), Appendix D, as well as any local jurisdictional requirements. Where proposed, emergency access routes are assumed to be minimum 20-foot wide, all-weather access, and able to support an apparatus of approximately 85,000 lbs. Pavement designs within the emergency access route will be confirmed in subsequent stages of the project to meet these criteria. Refer to the landscape narrative for additional information related to site circulation. GRADING AND DRAINAGE Site grading for the redevelopment should, to the extent practical, maintain existing drainage patterns and route stormwater runoff to the existing detention facility to the east. It is anticipated that site grading will primarily direct runoff away from the new buildings and that finish floor elevations will be set with a minimum 12-inches of freeboard above the 100-year water surface elevation of the adjacent public streets and the existing detention facility. Where required, accessible routes will be graded in accordance with the current edition of ADA design standards. Fire access roads will be graded in accordance with the requirements of Appendix D of the IFC. Site grading, specifically adjacent to the building, will also be in direct response to the geotechnical recommendations for the project. The proposed site layout offers additional landscaped and pervious surfaces that are anticipated to reduce the total site runoff from its existing condition. Improvements adjacent to the new buildings offer opportunities for maximizing Unconnected Impervious Areas (UIA) and implementing runoff reduction methodologies. Paved parking lots are anticipated to be collected in area drains or catch basins that will route stormwater to the existing detention facility. Where feasible, water quality devices such as a hydro-dynamic separator should be considered upstream of the existing facility to capture trash and large debris prior to runoff discharging into the detention facility. CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS28 CIvIL E NG I N E E R I N G D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 28 + Additional water quality strategies that should be considered within the project site include the following:• Receiving Pervious Areas (i.e. Grass Buffers and Swales)• Bioretention facilities (i.e. rain gardens)• Permeable Pavement Systems• Proprietary Treatment DevicesIn general, it is encouraged that future redevelopment prioritizes low impact design principles, green infrastructure, and related strategies to meet the sustainability goals of the project. EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL + DEWATERINGTemporary erosion control measures during construction shall follow the requirements of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for construction general permits, as well as local criteria specific to the City of Wheat Ridge. Best Management Practices are anticipated to be installed prior to demolition activities and remain throughout construction to protect the existing storm sewer system and adjacent water ways from pollutants and sediment that may result from construction activities. Specific erosion control strategies are beyond the scope of this narrative and additional information can be found within the MHFD criteria, volume 3. Construction dewatering shall also follow the requirements of CDPHE and additional field investigations will be required to determine anticipated ground water levels relative to the below grade parking structure. It is anticipated that, at a minimum, temporary dewatering may be required during excavation of the parking structure and further investigations will inform whether a permanent dewatering system will be required to alleviate pore water pressure on the structure. UTILITY INFRASTRUCTUREAs noted above, the utility infrastructure that currently supplies the building is assumed to no longer be available and that new utility infrastructure will be required for the building services. The paragraphs below summarize the anticipated water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer infrastructure proposed for the redevelopment. Where opportunities present themselves, and as feasible in response to the new site layout, consideration should be given to re-using existing utility infrastructure and subsequent design phases are anticipated to allow for in-depth studies related to the feasibility of reuse. Domestic water: Water infrastructure is anticipated to loop around the new buildings within parking areas and drive aisles to meet both domestic and fire water demands, as well as to provide fire hydrant coverage around the building consistent with IFC requirements. It is assumed that a 12-inch distribution main will loop around the buildings with connections to the existing 16-inch main to the west, as well as the 12-inch main to the east. If required, additional connections may be available at the 12-inch main within W 38th Avenue to the north. Where the water main is situated adjacent to or on top of the below ground parking structure, the depth of the main will need to be coordinated with the structure depth and the local water district’s easement regulations. 29FEASIBILITY STUDY CIvIL E NG I N E E R I N G D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 29 + Building services are assumed for both the city hall and police station buildings as a combined feed with each building being supplied by a common domestic tap/meter as well as a common fire service lateral. Fire hydrants shall be located to meet local jurisdictional criteria for hose-pull lengths, as well as the criteria set forth in the IFC, Appendix C. Total fire flow for the new buildings is a function of building construction type and the fire flow calculation area. For the purposes of this report, the total site fire flow is estimated to be 6,250 gpm for a duration of four (4) hours. Coordination with the local fire authority is recommended to determine if the reductions allowed within the IFC will be permitted for this project. Domestic water demands have not been evaluated at this master plan stage and are assumed to be addressed in subsequent design phases. It is anticipated that the Wheat Ridge Water District will impose System Development Charges on the municipal development for new taps/meters or connection to their infrastructure. At the time of this report, the fees are assumed using the current fee schedule and assumed meter size. It is possible that the water district may allow for credits for existing meters serving the parcel where the municipal development will occur and this will need to be coordinated and confirmed in subsequent design phases. Sanitary Sewer: Where feasible or allowed by the sanitation district, sanitary sewer may be routed into the existing collection system east of the project site. However, it is assumed for the purpose of master plan studies that a new private main will be constructed to tie into the northwestern portion of the city hall building and connect into the existing 8-inch main located in W 38th Avenue. Sanitary mains are assumed to be minimum 6-inch diameter, whereas building services will be a minimum 4-inch diameter pipe and will be confirmed in subsequent design phases.It is anticipated that the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District may impose Cost Recovery Fees on the municipal development for new taps or connection to their infrastructure. However, at the time of this report the fees are not quantifiable and will need to be coordinated and confirmed in subsequent design phases. Storm Sewer: Where feasible, re-using existing storm sewer infrastructure is recommended assuming adequate capacity and depth of the system that is currently located immediately north of the buildings. For master planning, it is assumed that a new storm sewer main will be constructed within the northern parking and this main will act as a “backbone” to collect building laterals and other site laterals that are anticipated south and east of the building. Future studies are anticipated in response to the site grading design to determine drainage sub-basins that will require additional inlets and storm sewer laterals.

The design emphasizes connectivity, safety, and flexible use of exterior spaces throughout the year. VEHICULAR CIRCULATION & PARKING Direct vehicular access from West 38th Avenue is restricted due to steep grades. Primary vehicular access is from Lutheran Parkway West and from North Lutheran Parkway, a collector road shared with future development on the west and east sides. Two-way access drives lead to a series of surface parking areas arranged to maximize convenience for visitors and staff. Additional parking needs are met through underground parking on the west side of the building, reducing surface imperviousness and supporting site efficiency. Refer to Parking Analysis for additional information. An emergency access route wraps the southern edge of the building, providing unobstructed service and first-responder circulation while also shaping pedestrian paths and landscape areas. PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION & CONNECTIVITY A well-connected pedestrian network links parking areas to the primary building entry at the north. Walkways extend around the building, creating seamless access to outdoor seating areas, a central courtyard for staff members, and the southern amenity spaces. Pedestrian paths are intentionally layered with landscape buffers, seating nooks, and planting beds, improving comfort, wayfinding, and visual interest. BUILDING CONNECTIONS The design strengthens internal and external relationships between building wings. Sidewalks and landscape corridors provide clear, direct links to the courtyard, flex space, and outdoor seating areas, supporting both public and staff circulation. These corridors also integrate with pedestrian amenities provided by development at the east and south, enhancing overall site connectivity and walkability. CENTRAL COURTYARD A centrally located courtyard is situated between building wings and functions as an outdoor gathering and amenity space. The courtyard includes hardscape surfaces, informal seating areas, landscape beds, and shade trees. Planting around the courtyard perimeter provides screening for windows. CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS32 LAN D S C A P E A RC H I T E C T U R E D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 32 + OUTDOOR SEATING & FLEX SPACE On the north and east sides of the building, adjacent outdoor seating areas create a versatile extension of indoor program areas. These spaces are designed to accommodate a range of uses, including informal gatherings, small group meetings, outdoor work areas, and community programming. The open layout and proposed flexible site furnishings allows zones to be adapted to changing needs, while fixed landscape elements provide shade, comfort, and spatial definition. Proximity to building entries strengthens indoor-outdoor connections and encourages regular use by staff and visitors. MULTI-PURPOSE LAWN: AMPHITHEATER/ MOVIE LAWN/ WINTER ICE RINK To the southeast, a large multi-purpose lawn is designed for year-round adaptability. The lawn can function as an amphitheater for performances and community programs, a summer movie lawn, or a winter ice rink, offering seasonal activity and engagement. Design coordination will be required to ensure seamless integration with adjacent outdoor spaces provided by the developer and to support cohesive circulation, programming, and user experience. SEATING NOOKS & LANDSCAPE EDGES Along the south and southwest edges of the site, a series of seating nooks are integrated into the landscape. These quieter, more intimate pockets provide places for retreats, conversation, or small-group gatherings. LANDSCAPING Landscape planting beds featuring native, drought tolerant shrubs, ornamental trees, and groundcovers are incorporated along building edges, pedestrian pathways, and site perimeters to enhance visual character while supporting long-term water conservation. Plantings are thoughtfully arranged to create soft transitions between built and landscaped areas and improve the pedestrian experience. Particular attention is given to screening plantings near windows, buffering between program areas, and providing shaded spaces. Sustainable strategies prioritize low water use with efficient irrigation methods incorporating drip irrigation and rain sensors; plant selections adapted to the local climate; and organic mulch use to reduce evaporation and improve soil moisture retention. 33FEASIBILITY STUDY ARC H I T E C T U R E D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 33 + Architecture Design Narrative OVERALL CONCEPT The Lutheran Legacy Campus is planned to serve as the future home of the Wheat Ridge City Hall and Police Department. As detailed in previous report sections, the The preferred layout proposes renovating the 1921 three-story west wing, the 1932 three- story women’s wing, and a portion of the 1960s hospital wing addition while re-cladding areas where adjacent structures have been removed. These existing structures will require comprehensive rehabilitation and selective demolition to preserve key elements for adaptive reuse. A new central pavilion and east wing will accommodate the remainder of the City Hall program and will be physically connected to the new Police Station structure, all organized around a shared central courtyard. CODE AND DESIGN STANDARDS Design of this project anticipates the following: • 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) • 2024 International Building Code (IBC) • 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) • Model Colorado Electric and Solar Ready Code • City of Wheat Ridge Municipal Zoning Code • Refer to individual discipline narratives for other applicable codes • Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties • Colorado Building Performance Standards • ADA Standards for Accessible Design Total Area: 88,420 SF = 49,151 SF (City Hall) + (39,269 SF) Police Department Fully Sprinklered Building Construction Type: IvB Mixed Occupancy: Assembly A-3, Business B Number of stories: 3 Stories Structural Risk Category: Iv EXTERIOR BUILDING ENVELOPEThe existing structures to be adaptively reused are observed to be primarily composed of load-bearing buff brick masonry, as well as buff brick masonry veneer assemblies supported by CMU or steel structural backup systems. Comprehensive field verification, supplemented by a thorough review of available historical documentation, is required to accurately establish the existing construction types, structural behavior, and material conditions for all elements designated to remain. Rehabilitation of the historic masonry façades will necessitate a full-spectrum masonry restoration scope, including non-abrasive cleaning, selective brick repair, and comprehensive repointing. A mortar analysis is strongly recommended to determine CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS34 ARC H I T E C T U R E D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 34 + the material composition, compressive strength, and color profile of the original mortar, thereby ensuring that new mortar installations are technically compatible and historically appropriate. The 1932 existing roof systems are finished with ceramic terracotta tiles, which will be retained through targeted repair, replacement-in-kind, and restoration techniques. The 1960s existing roof consists of a membrane assembly that will need to be evaluated for condition. To meet current thermal performance and energy code requirements, all exterior wall assemblies will require interior furring to accommodate continuous insulation, and the roof assembly will similarly require rehabilitation to integrate additional insulation while maintaining appropriate moisture, ventilation, and preservation constraints for the historic envelope. The new pavilion, additions, and Police Station will employ exterior materials that are contextually compatible with the existing structures while remaining distinctly contemporary. Proposed cladding systems include low-carbon masonry veneer integrated with wood-framed wall assemblies and metal panel systems. Flat roofs on the new construction will be Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) with a high solar reflectance index to release solar heat for enhanced energy performance. To enhance sustainability and resiliency of the building, solar panels to be installed at each flat roof where appropriate. Continuous exterior insulation within exterior wall and roof assemblies will be optimized for maximum energy performance. High-performance glazing assemblies will be utilized extensively to enhance daylighting views, security, and optimize overall building energy performance. All exterior materials to be durable, cost efficient, environmentally responsible, and verified through third-party certifications for the absence of hazardous substances. Where feasible, salvaged masonry from demolition activities should be incorporated to reduce waste, save costs, reduce embodied carbon and support sustainable material stewardship. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CITY HALL AND POLICE DEPARTMENTThe Lutheran Legacy Campus includes a centralized public facing entry for City Hall that engages portions of the historic campus structures to create a welcoming and cohesive structure. A connected structure to the south will house the Police Department, creating a central shared courtyard. The conditioned connection element provides controlled circulation and critical programmatic adjacencies between the City Hall and the Police Department. The municipal facility is further supported by a two-level subterranean parking structure located beneath the proposed surface lot west of City Hall. This below-grade facility includes as secure Sally Port and a dedicated connection to the Police Station to accommodate secure staff access, in-custody transfers, operational efficiency, and efficient emergency response. Although the City Hall and Police Department buildings are physically linked through the multi-story connection piece, they are to be treated as distinct structural entities for code compliance and seismic/structural performance purposes. A code-compliant fire wall assembly will be required at the interface of the two structures to achieve the necessary separation, as the Police Station is classified as an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). 35FEASIBILITY STUDY ARC H I T E C T U R E D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 35 + This designation carries elevated performance criteria, including enhanced structural integrity, post-disaster operability, and increased Risk Category requirements. Refer to the Structural Narrative for detailed code classifications, risk category designation, and associated design implications. All penetrations and openings intersecting this fire wall including doors, mechanical/electrical pass-throughs, and any transitional elements within the connection volume must be protected with rated assemblies and equipped with dedicated fire-protection and suppression systems to preserve the integrity of the mandated fire-resistive barrier. INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTAt the new additions, heavy timber, glulam beams with CLT deck, exposed and celebrated, imbue interior spaces with visual interest and warmth. Where possible, exposed masonry on the interior to celebrate the historic character of the existing structures and save costs is recommended. Common finish throughout the existing and new spaces to be painted gypsum wallboard with select intentional areas for accent paint. Featuring an interior color palette that enhances the historic character of the original spaces while also blending seamlessly with the modern design of the newer areas. The use of an acoustic wood ceiling deck is recommended along with additional acoustic treatments in dedicated spaces to create a calm and effective environment. Public and staff restrooms to be finished with highly cleanable durable ceramic floor and wall tile that also sparks visual interest and maintains a cohesive interior finishes palette. Highly durable, proven longevity, cost-effective contemporary floor and wall finishes to be utilized throughout each space. These finishes should support the overall biophilic design concept by incorporating natural colors and textures that create a sense of connection to nature for both occupants and visitors. All interior finishes to contain low carbon values, and be third party certified for the absence of hazardous substances, and prioritize the use of high recycled content. The building design emphasizes abundant natural daylighting and a clear, legible spatial organization to enhance wayfinding and promote an inclusive, fully accessible environment for staff and visitors. Dedicated glass vestibules for entry and egress at select locations to guide the public visitors and serve as airlocks for enhanced energy performance and air quality. Strategically placed skylights and storefront glazing will optimize daylight into spaces while maintaining continuous visual connectivity aligned with programmatic adjacencies. This will also reduce energy costs of lighting throughout the building. Operable windows throughout private office and meeting rooms to promote natural ventilation and passive energy strategies. Non-operable curtain wall systems are proposed in select areas—such as courtrooms and Community Gathering spaces—to maximize natural light, frame exterior views, and reinforce a strong indoor–outdoor visual connection.

Hub – creating an activated, central gathering space for the city. Habitat – a biophilic, healthy, & inspiring workspace. SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY The design approach for the overall Lutheran Legacy Campus Wheat Ridge City Hall and Police Station master planning effort places a high priority on innovative and creative solutions that advance sustainability, site resiliency, which in return reduces overall operation and maintenance costs. Sustainable and resilient design approaches help future-proof the building, supporting adaptability and long-term fiscal responsibility. As stated by the City of Wheat Ridge stakeholders sustainability is viewed not as an additive feature but as a core framework guiding decision-making for the overall campus. The graphic on the following page illustrates a set of sustainable design strategies tailored specifically to the programmatic requirements and site conditions of the proposed City Hall and Police Station. These strategies are intended to: • Mitigate climate impacts by reducing energy demand, incorporating renewable energy systems, and implementing climate responsive design strategies. • Promote occupant health and well-being through enhanced indoor environmental quality, access to daylight and views, and the integration of biophilic design elements. • Support long-term adaptability and resiliency by creating flexible building systems and structures capable of responding to evolving operational needs and environmental challenges. • Future-proofing the building and site supports reduced long-term operating and maintenance costs. By integrating these strategies into the master planning process, the City of Wheat Ridge has the opportunity to create high-performing municipal facilities that prioritize energy efficiency, reduction in carbon emissions, improved water quality, and supports staff health and wellness—all while minimizing environmental impacts on the surrounding community, and lowering the life cycle costs to the City. This project will have progressive sustainability and resiliency goals but does not anticipate a formal green certification at this time. The following table is organized per the AIA framework for Design Excellence with select categories chosen as: Design for Well-Being, Design for Water, Design for Resources, Design for Energy, and Design for Change. The table is organized on the vertical axis by cost with darker shade cards representing an additional cost to the project for more advanced strategies. Each individual card within the table is recommended by the design team after evaluating the existing conditions of the site and the current design, tailoring these initiatives to the overarching goals of the Civic Center. 42FEASIBILITY STUDY DES I G N A PP R O A C H + 43FEASIBILITY STUDY STR U C T U R A L E NG I N E E R I N G D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 43 + Structural Engineering Design Narrative PROJECT DESCRIPTION Refer to the Architectural Narrative for more detail on the building makeup and how adaptive reuse will combine components of the existing building with the new Police Department building. DESIGN CODES AND LOADS Design of structural elements and systems will be based on the requirements of the 2024 International Building Code (IBC), 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), and Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-22) with City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado amendments. Structural elements and systems will be designed for the following: Occupancy: Assembly A-3, Business Group B Risk Category: II (City Hall), Iv (Police Building & Parking Garage) Live loads: Offices: 50 psf + 15 psf Partitions First floor corridors: 100 psf Corridors above first floor: 80 psf Public spaces: 100 psf Stairs and exits: 100 psf Ground snow (ultimate): 58 psf (City Hall), 91 psf (Police Building & Parking Garage) Wind (ultimate): v = 135 mph (City Hall), 151 mph (Police Building & Parking Garage); Exposure C Seismic: Design Category = B (City Hall), C (Police Building & Parking Garage) IE = 1.0 (City Hall), 1.5 (Police Building & Parking Garage) Site Class D (assumed) STRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS Since the existing 1960 Hospital Addition will only be partially demolished, new gravity and lateral support elements will need to be installed to maintain the integrity of the remaining structure. The south side of the remaining building will need to be enclosed with new cladding. The historic roofs may need to be reinforced to support new insulation as well as snow drifts and sliding snow from adjacent roofs. If building foundations for the surrounding existing buildings are not fully demolished, they may conflict with new foundations for the new Central Pavilion, East Wing, Police Building and the Parking Garage. Foundation drawings for the existing surrounding buildings, if available, can be used to identify and avoid these conflicts during design. CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS44 STR U C T U R A L E NG I N E E R I N G D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 44 + Permanent shoring will be required to construct the underground Parking Garage and prevent it from undermining the existing historic buildings. Perimeter foundation walls for the Parking Garage will be shotcreted against the shoring system and bear on eccentric foundations at their base. A drainage layer will be sandwiched between the shoring system and foundation walls to route water to a perimeter drainage system. The elevated parking levels will be constructed with mildly reinforced cast-in-place concrete slabs spanning between the perimeter foundation walls and interior cast-in- place concrete columns located between the parking stalls. Options to protect slab areas exposed to weather include: surface-applied traffic coatings or sealers, corrosion inhibiting admixture and epoxy-coated reinforcing. The at-grade parking level will support landscape areas. A geotechnical study will be required for this project. New foundation systems are expected to consist of grade beams, grade walls and drilled piers. New interior first floors are expected to be slabs on grade. Post-and-beam superstructure framing will be suitable for the new Central Pavilion, East Wing and Police Department buildings. Shearwalls and/or braced frames will provide lateral stability. Steel post-and-beam construction would consist of steel deck on steel beams and joists at the roofs, and concrete slab on deck on composite steel beams at the floors. Wood post-and-beam construction would consist of wood cross- laminated timber panels on heavy timber and/or glulam beams at the roofs and floors. Exterior cladding will consist of glazing and non-load-bearing cold-formed steel studs backing brick veneer and other finishes. An expansion joint and firewall will occur at the interface between City Hall and the Police Building. 45FEASIBILITY STUDY MEC H A N I C A L & P LU M B I N G E NG I N E E R I N G D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 45 + Mechanical & Plumbing Engineering Design Narrative OVERALL CONCEPT This narrative describes the high-level mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection systems recommended for the new Lutheran Legacy Campus for the City of Wheat Ridge. Refer to the architectural narrative for more information on the breakdown of the existing and new portions of the building to be utilized in the preferred alternative. The final building will be three stories plus a basement, spanning an estimated 88,420 square feet. CODE AND DESIGN STANDARDS The following codes will be utilized for the design basis with the City of Wheat Ridge Amendments: • 2024 International Building Code (IBC) • 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) • 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) • 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) • 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC-Performance Path) • Model Colorado Electric Code • NFPA 13 Design Conditions (Per client design guidelines and ASHRAE) Wheat Ridge, CO, USA: 5,460’ Outside ambient temperatures Summer DB: 93.9 F Summer WB: 60.7 F Winter DB: -16.3 F Occupied room temperatures Cooling: 75.0 F Heating: 70.0 F Commissioning will be required for the mechanical and plumbing system as required by the 2024 IECC. EXISTING CONDITIONS MECHANICAL The existing Lutheran Hospital Campus has a central plant with cooling towers, chillers, and boilers to produce chilled water and steam for the buildings across the campus. The chilled water and steam are routed through tunnels and the basement to individual systems serving the buildings based on when they were constructed/added. Below is a summary of the existing systems serving the 1921, 1932, and 1960 portion of the building that is in the scope of being renovated within the preferred alternative: • There is (1) AHU located on the roof next to the 1932 building that serves the 1921, 1932, and 1960 buildings. The AHU was likely installed in 1992 and is 33 years old. • Patient rooms are served from induction units. CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS46 MEC H A N I C A L & P LU M B I N G E NG I N E E R I N G D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 46 + • Controls are pneumatic. The central plant building will be demolished as part of the developer’s scope of work, which will remove the chilled water and steam systems serving the campus. All portions of the buildings that are being reused will lose their primary heating and cooling source, so new central systems, such as chillers and boilers, will be required. In the 1921, 1932, and 1960 portions of the building, the systems are past their useful life and will require full replacement. EXISTING CONDITIONS PLUMBING The existing domestic water and sanitary sewer services serve different portions of the campus. The exact utility routing and entry point are currently unknown and will need to be verified. Domestic hot water is generated locally in each building from the steam served from the central plant. The exact domestic cold water and sanitary sewer entry locations and sizes into each building shall be confirmed to ensure the services are adequate for the new needs of the building. Due to the high usage in a hospital occupancy, it is assumed the service sizes are sufficient, but the entry locations may need to be altered to match the exact footprint of the maintained portion of the building. Due to the removal of the steam service from the campus, new domestic hot water systems must be provided for the building. EXISTING CONDITIONS FIRE PROTECTION An 8” Fire Sprinkler Main enters the basement of the central plant building and routes to the backflow preventer, accessories, and pumps to service the campus. The facilities staff noted that there is a second fire sprinkler entry/main that enters on the other side of the campus as well, this will need to be confirmed. The central plant building will be demolished as part of the developer’s scope of work, removing the fire protection system serving the campus. A new fire protection service will be required for the new building. APPROACH The approach to the mechanical and plumbing system recommendations for the outlined options is to ensure the building has complete systems that can be reasonably maintained for a typical office/municipal building use within the City of Wheat Ridge’s facilities constraints. Additionally, the city’s sustainable preferences have been taken into account with enhanced sustainable measures outlined in the recommendations section below. RECOMMENDATIONS MECHANICAL • The existing AHU, induction units, ductwork, piping, and controls serving the existing structures to be rehabilitated are all beyond their useful life and should be demolished. • Provide a completely new mechanical system for the building, including heat rejection equipment, heat-generating equipment, air handling units, terminal units, 47FEASIBILITY STUDY MEC H A N I C A L & P LU M B I N G E NG I N E E R I N G D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 47 + ductwork, piping, and DDC controls. It is estimated that a 90,000-square-foot building will require 350 tons of cooling and 4,500 MBH of heating. Examples of systems that can be considered in the future Schematic Design Phase are as follows: • Chiller and boiler plant to serve centralized air handling units, dispersed fan coil units, or dispersed chilled beams. • Multi-zone variable air volume (vAv) heat pump rooftop unit with energy recovery. • Geothermal heat pump system with water source heat pumps and a dedicated outside air system (DOAS). • Systems common to all sections of the building: • If a central system is designed for the building (chiller/boiler, geothermal), then meters shall be provided on the mains serving the courthouse and police department for billing and tracking purposes. • Provide dedicated cooling-only split systems for all electrical and IT rooms. • Provide dedicated heat pump split systems for elevator machine rooms or shafts, pending elevator requirements. • Heaters will be provided in all vestibules. • Systems Specific for Police Department: • Provide a dedicated outside air system for holding cells. • Provide a dedicated exhaust system for any Sally port spaces. • Provide a dedicated exhaust system for any gun maintenance or narcotics storage rooms. • Systems Specific to Parking Garage: • Provide a complete garage ventilation system controlled by Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Dioxide sensors, including exhaust fans and makeup air louvers. RECOMMENDATIONS PLUMBING • The existing plumbing fixtures, as well as the existing domestic cold-water, hot- water, sanitary waste, and sanitary vent piping and systems, are beyond their useful life and should be fully demolished. • Provide a new domestic cold-water service for the building, sized for the required plumbing fixtures. At the new water entry, provide a water meter, shutoff valve, pressure-reducing valve, and reduced-pressure backflow preventer. Route new domestic cold-water piping to all new plumbing fixtures throughout the building. • Provide a new sanitary waste line for the building, sized for the required plumbing fixtures.

RECOMMENDATIONS FIRE PROTECTION • The existing fire protection system is beyond its useful life and should be fully demolished. • Provide a new, dedicated fire sprinkler water line to the building with backflow prevention and fire pumps (as needed). Route new fire sprinkler piping throughout the building to sprinkler heads, spaced per code requirements. SUSTAINABILITY CONSIDERATIONS • Provide fully electric systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. • Provide all outside air and recirculating air with MERv 13 Filters • Explore ventilation optimization through increased ventilation efficiency using systems such as sorbent gas filtration. • Explore displacement ventilation • Explore passive cooling measures to reduce cooling loads in the building at night or in shoulder seasons. • Specify low-flow plumbing fixtures to reduce water consumption. • Provide water meters on the landscape water supply and water serving domestic hot water systems. • Explore grey water system options and effectiveness based on plumbing fixture types and quantities. NEXT STEPS/FUTURE STUDIES NEEDED • A mechanical system selection process shall be completed in the pre-design or schematic design phase of the project to determine the final mechanical system that meets the City of Wheat Ridge’s needs regarding sustainability and maintenance. • Full building energy modeling is recommended for performance path energy code compliance and to help inform the mechanical system option in the SD phase. • If geothermal is a feasible consideration, test bores shall be completed to determine the feasibility of a future bore field at the project site. 49FEASIBILITY STUDY ELE C T R I C A L & T EC H N O L O G Y D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 49 + Electrical & Technology Design Narrative OVERALL CONCEPT The Electrical Systems narrative for the Lutheran Legacy Campus is intended to provide a descriptive outline of the existing and proposed electrical systems for the campus. Refer to the Architectural Narrative for more detail on the building makeup and how adaptive reuse will combine components of the existing building with the new Police Department building. CODE AND DESIGN STANDARDS Design of this project will be guided by the following: • 2024 International Building Code (IBC) • 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) • Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code • 2023 National Electric Code EXISTING ELECTRICAL CONDITIONS The campus is currently fed by (2) redundant 13.2kv xcel electrical services. These services terminate within a primary switchgear located at the Utility Plant, which feeds (4) 480/277v utility transformers. The Utility Plant will be demolished as part of the campus redevelopment, along with (3) of the (4) utility transformers. The remaining transformer currently serves the North Pavilion and could potentially be reused/ repurposed to feed the new building service. A new electrical service is anticipated to distribute power throughout the City Hall and Police Department. Refer to the section below for an anticipated load summary and service size. There are (4) existing generators on site which could be repurposed for various loads across the campus, depending on the building needs. Reuse of any of the generators will require a redesign of enclosures, fuel storage, and connections to the building service. Much of the existing lighting appeared to be fluorescent with older controls. It is anticipated that all new lighting, lighting controls, and fire alarm system will be required to meet the current codes and building program. CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS50 ELE C T R I C A L & T EC H N O L O G Y D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 50 + ELECTRICAL RECOMMENDATIONS- ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION The electrical density design criteria are based on estimated volt-amp per square foot allowances for interior lighting, exterior lighting, mechanical systems, and miscellaneous power systems. The estimates are based on historical data for similar facilities. The following watts/sf estimates are used for preliminary electrical service sizing. It is anticipated that this facility will be designed with efficient mechanical and electrical systems causing these preliminary estimates to be on the high side and specific equipment sizing is to be adjusted as the design progresses. The anticipated electrical density load estimates are as follows: The overall square footage for the scope of work is 88,420 square feet. Based on the overall building use and the associated electrical loading, at a distribution voltage of 480/277 volts, 3-phase, the estimated calculated additional NEC demand load associated with the building is 2872 amps. Therefore, a 4000 Amp, 480/277v, 3-phase, 4-wire electrical service is projected to feed the building. RECOMMENDATIONS- LIGHTING AND LIGHTING CONTROLS All new lighting shall be LED, with wireless lighting controls. New lighting shall include emergency egress lighting along the path of egress, as well as exit signs. RECOMMENDATIONS- FIRE ALARM The fire alarm system shall be a completely new, fully addressable, voice evacuation type fire alarm system for the building per NFPA requirements. 51FEASIBILITY STUDY ELE C T R I C A L & T EC H N O L O G Y D ES I G N N AR R A T I vE 51 + RECOMMENDATIONS- TELECOMMUNICATIONS, SECURITY, AND A/V It is anticipated that the low voltage voice/data and cable systems distribution will utilize a new, centrally located main distribution facility that feeds various satellite intermediate distribution facilities. New backbone and horizontal cabling, along with all pathway and infrastructure, will be provided to distribute communications throughout the building. New security systems (access control, video surveillance, and intrusion detection) and Audio/visual systems are anticipated. It is anticipated that completely separate Telecom and security systems will be designed for City Hall and the Police Department. SUSTAINABILITY OPTIONS • On-site (e.g. solar) renewable energy. Infrastructure will be provided per the Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready code. • Ev Charging. Charging stations and future Infrastructure will be provided per the Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready code. • Re-purpose/recycle any existing devices, fixtures and equipment as part of this adaptive use project. • Wireless lighting control system. • Specify products by manufacturers with sustainable manufacturing processes. • Utilize wireless telecommunications to the greatest extent possible. NEXT STEPS • Work with mechanical engineer to refine system selection and electrical loads. verify electrical service(s) planned are sufficiently sized for Day 1 and future electrical needs. • Determine which pieces of electrical equipment can be repurposed for this campus. The North Pavilion contained some existing equipment that could potentially be reused, including panelboards and transformers.

CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS53 PRO J E C T P HA S I N G 53 + Project Phasing TIMELINE The phasing of this project presents unique challenges due to the careful balance required between demolition, historic preservation, and new construction. The removal of surrounding elements of the Lutheran Legacy Campus must be executed with precision—particularly in areas adjacent to the historic 1921 and 1932 structures. This delicate demolition may involve multiple contractors and must account for time- sensitive requirements related to protecting, structurally stabilizing, and conditioning the remaining historic elements between demolition and the start of new construction. This transitional period will require a highly coordinated effort between the design team, the city, and the developer to balance hazardous material remediation, structural shoring, and the nuanced rehabilitation of historic materials. If a future library is introduced along the eastern edge of the re-imagined pavilion, additional coordination will be necessary to align its footprint, interface, and phasing with the new civic buildings—whether as an integrated expansion or a phased addition. These considerations will be critical to maintaining design continuity and long-term campus cohesion. Sustainability is also a key consideration in the phasing strategy. For example, the 2008 addition’s brick—originally selected to match the historic masonry—may be salvaged and reused in the new buildings to reduce demolition waste and embodied carbon. The design team will continue to explore opportunities for material reuse that align with current codes and performance standards. An initial phasing timeline is included in this report as a starting point for discussion, and the team looks forward to collaborating closely with the developer and the City to refine this schedule as the project advances and design details are further developed. 54FEASIBILITY STUDY LUT H E R A N C AM P U S P HA S I N G T IM E L I N E + Lutheran Campus Phasing Timeline Recommended project timeline 55FEASIBILITY STUDY NExT S TE P S 55 + Next Steps Future Project Phases NEXT STEPS The following is a list of next steps and additional information gathering needed to inform the next phase of design: • As-built measuring of existing buildings to remain • Geotechnical report • Revisions to site survey (accurately locate historic portions to remain) • Zoning study • Parking analysis • Dedicated department meetings to review and confirm programmatic needs for City Hall & Police Department• Conduct community engagement activities throughout the City to gain feedback from citizens that could inform design• Develop conceptual renderings to assist in gathering community/City Council feedback and support• Collaboratively work with the city and the developer to develop and implement preservation, demolition, and stabilization strategies and complete due diligence tasks• Develop conceptual designs for new City Hall and Justice Center• Advance design through construction documentation and permitting CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS56 APP E N D I C E S 56 + Appendices Appendix A.

Exploration of Alternatives 79FEASIBILITY STUDY APP E N D I C E S 79 + Exploration of Alternatives LUTHERAN LEGACY CAMPUS ALTERNATIVESFollowing evaluation of the existing conditions, four initial options were explored to evaluate potential adaptive reuse strategies and new construction opportunities across the Lutheran Legacy Campus. Each option considered the architectural character and condition, structural feasibility, existing systems, program compatibility, and long-term suitability for a new City Hall and Police Department. The 1984 Brutalist Addition was examined in three distinct segments after it was discovered that this wing had been constructed over a span of more than a decade, potentially allowing for selective reuse. Its robust materiality and secure character made it an intriguing option for housing the Police Department. However, the disconnected construction phases and the complexity of integrating civic functions into its deep, opaque floor plates presented notable challenges. The 2008 Tower Option focused on the upper, vacant floors of the campus’s most recent addition. These floors offered generous views and more adaptable floor plates conducive to daylighting. Despite these advantages, the overall square footage far exceeded the City’s needs, and the presence of necessary additional tenants and circuitous circulation issues complicated both security and public wayfinding. Establishing a distinct civic identity along 38th Avenue within this configuration was also considered less than ideal. The New Construction Option offered the greatest flexibility, allowing the team to tailor a purpose-built civic facility precisely to the City’s current and future needs. However, the team weighed this opportunity against the site’s capacity constraints and the sustainability concerns related to full demolition. Issues of embodied carbon, construction waste, and loss of architectural heritage influenced the decision to look elsewhere. Ultimately, the Historic Preservation and Reuse Option was selected for deeper exploration. This approach offered the most promising balance between honoring the site’s legacy, supporting sustainable practices, and meeting programmatic goals. The design team was particularly drawn to the layered way the historic additions had been constructed—making selective retention and reinvention a feasible path forward. The following slide summarizes this alternative and its three sub-options; the full presentation of the four initial options can be found in the appendix.

Central to both schemes is the rehabilitation of the 1932 Women’s Wing, the retention and restoration of the remaining 1921 Pavilion wall, and the preservation of the 1932 Chapel—though the latter is not currently programmed for City use. These elements are valued not only for their architectural character, but also for their deep ties to the site’s history as a former tuberculosis treatment center and long-standing healthcare campus. Careful surgical demolition of surrounding structures is required to protect the exterior integrity of these historic components. In both alternatives, the preserved masonry facades will be cleaned, repointed, and stabilized, with previously infilled openings thoughtfully reopened to allow for daylight and visual connection. These efforts aim to retain the original craftsmanship and presence of the historic buildings while adapting them for new civic uses that honor their legacy. Additionally, both alternatives include a reimagined version of the original 1921 central pavilion, positioned between the two preserved wings as a symbolic and functional anchor for the new civic campus. The shared commitment to integrating green space, restoring historic materials, and designing purpose-built environments reflects the City’s and design team’s shared vision: to create a civic destination that is respectful of its past, responsive to present needs, and adaptable for the future, all in service to the Wheat Ridge community. OPPORTUNITIES FOR CIVIC ENRICHMENT As part of ongoing conversations, the team has also identified the potential for expanding the civic campus with a future public library to serve as a connecting element between the reimagined central pavilion and the existing chapel. This concept introduces exciting programmatic alignment between City Hall functions and library services, reinforcing the idea of a cohesive, community-centered civic campus. The integration of civic administration with educational and cultural resources would promote greater public engagement, accessibility, and shared use of space. In this vision, the preserved chapel could be adaptively reused as an event center or community hall—providing flexible gathering space for programs, ceremonies, or public meetings, and reinforcing the site’s legacy as a place of care, connection, and civic identity. *06/2025 Preliminary - Master Plan Alternatives 87FEASIBILITY STUDY ALT E R N A T I vES I NT R O D U C T I O N + PLAN VIEW ALTERNATIVE 2: COURTYARD ALTERNATIVE 1: 1960S REHAB NORTH 3D VIEW North View 3D View 19321932 1932 1932 Chapel 1932 Chapel 1921Wall 1932 Chapel Re-Imagined Pavilion Re-ImaginedPavilion Re-Imagined Pavilion 1960s N N Potential Library Potential Library Potential Library 1960s 1921 Wall 1921 Wall Courtyard New Addition Partial 1960s 1932 1921 Wall 1932 Chapel Re-Imagined Pavilion New Addition LEGEND LEGEND BY OTHERS EXISTING NEW/ RESKINNED BY OTHERS EXISTING NEW/ RESKINNED Potential Library CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS88 ALT E R N A T I vES F LO O R P LA T E S + Alternatives Floor Plates FLOOR PLATE ALIGNMENT AND VERTICAL CONNECTIVITYThe historic buildings on the Lutheran Legacy Campus—comprising the 1921 Pavilion wall and the 1932 Women’s Wing—are all three stories in height. However, due to the construction standards and systems of their time, the floor-to-floor heights in these structures are significantly lower than those typical in modern civic buildings. These compressed vertical dimensions pose limitations for integrating contemporary HvAC systems, achieving an open spatial character, and incorporating modern ceiling and lighting design elements. To address these constraints while preserving the integrity of the historic structures, the new buildings have been strategically designed to complement rather than mirror the historic floor levels. The first floors of both the historic and new buildings are aligned to allow a continuous and accessible public level, supporting key functions such as lobbies, reception areas, public-facing departments, and shared amenities. The second floor of the historic buildings, however, does not align with the second floor of the new construction due to these height differences. Instead, the first floor of the new buildings is designed as a vaulted space—creating the vertical clearance necessary to align the new second floor with the third floor of the historic buildings. This stepped approach to floor level transitions introduces complexity in circulation but also creates opportunities. By intentionally connecting only specific floor levels, the design supports public movement across departments—such as the critical relationship between Community Development and the Permit Desk—while allowing for greater security and controlled staff access throughout the remainder of City Hall. This balance of openness and access control reflects the City’s operational needs and promotes an efficient, welcoming civic environment. The vaulted spaces on the first floor of the new buildings are also programmatically beneficial. Higher ceiling volumes in areas like the lobby, community room, and courtroom accommodate special design elements, greater daylighting potential, and allow space for concentrated building systems. While the interplay of floor levels can be difficult to visualize, a series of diagrams have been included in this report to clearly illustrate the spatial relationships and points of connection. The overall approach ensures that the historic character of the existing buildings is preserved, while the new construction remains flexible, functional, and expressive of a modern civic identity. *With the updated program reduction there is also the opportunity to remove the second floor of the historic floor plates. This ~10,000SF portion could be fully removed or partially removed allowing flexibility for the HvAC systems to run beneath the third story of the historic building feeding down to the first story and up to the third story. This could allow for higher ceilings within the first story, and the potential to open up the plenum and/or attic area of the historic third floor for more ceiling space there as well. 89FEASIBILITY STUDY ALT E R N A T I vES F LO O R P LA T E S + Historic First FloorNew First Floor Vaulted Space New Basement New Second Floor New Third Floor Historic Second Floor Historic Third Floor Occupied Historic Rooftop ALTERNATIVE 2: COURTYARD FLOOR PLATES DIAGRAMS ALTERNATIVE 1: 1960S REHAB CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS90 ALT E R N A T I vE 1 - 1 9 6 0 S R EH A B + 1932 1921 Pavilion 1960s Depart.11,400 6,000 36,500 27,200 81,100 AD & CC 8,000 8,000 CD 5,000 5,000 CMO 3,200 3,200 MC 5,000 2,600 7,600 PD 7,600 2,000 5,300 16,800 31,700 Shared 2,000 2,200 3,500 7,700 Support 600 600 7,000 3,800 12,000 Public 1,400 4,000 500 5,900 81,100 BASEMENT FIRST FLOOR SECOND FLOOR H CH & PD HVAC STORAGE EVIDENCE BOOKING PD LOBBY RECORDS PUBLIC CAFE GALLERY MEETING SECURITY PUBLIC LOBBY FRONT DESK CH COMMUNITY COURT SECOND FLOOR DOES NOT CONNECT TO PAVILION PD OFFICES PD PATROL MC OFFICES CH CM OF BOOKING H Alternative 1 - 1960s Rehab REHABThe 1960s Rehab Alternative explores the adaptive reuse of a portion of the existing Lutheran Legacy Campus, incorporating the 1960s hospital addition along with key historic elements—the remaining 1921 Pavilion wall and the 1932 Women’s Wing. This approach retains the largest footprint of existing structures among all studied options, focusing on the transformation of the 1960s addition into a civic facility while honoring the historic legacy of the site. The strategy aims to balance preservation with pragmatic upgrades, aligning with the City’s goals of sustainability, civic presence, and responsible development. To meet contemporary standards, the 1960s building would undergo a full exterior and interior rehabilitation, including hazardous materials abatement, recladding with a new thermal envelope, and systems upgrades. To address natural lighting needs within the deeper floor plates, the design could incorporate rooftop openings that bring daylight into core areas and improve interior quality. An occupied rooftop terrace, accessed from the third floor of the 1921 wall structure, is also envisioned—offering unique views and outdoor space for staff respite or informal gatherings. These enhancements would bring vitality and connectivity to the re-purposed facility, turning a former institutional building into an active civic hub. In this scheme, City Hall is accessed from a new formal entry on the north, while the Police Department has a dedicated entrance on the south, allowing for clear orientation and functional separation. A reimagined central pavilion serves as a symbolic and physical anchor to the site, framed by a formal civic green that enhances public gathering opportunities and reinforces the historic footprint. Additional green spaces surround the building, offering moments of respite for staff and the public while tying the civic campus back to the landscape.

One-way vehicular circulation around the building supports emergency vehicle access and clear site flow. Parking structure allows for secure parking, sally port and below grade access to the police department for secure entry and in-custody transfer. • Infrastructure and System Efficiency: Retaining the majority of existing site infrastructure and some utility connections helps reduce disruption and construction costs, with only targeted relocations anticipated. The design leverages a significant portion of the existing structure, potentially reducing the project’s embodied carbon. A fully connected building layout may also reduce the need for extensive duct and pipe routing between program areas. • Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse: This alternative preserves the 1960s addition along with the 1921 wall and 1932 Women’s Wing, providing a greater level of architectural continuity and historical context. Adaptive reuse supports sustainability and aligns with preservation goals. • Enhanced Outdoor Spaces: The design introduces new landscaped areas, flexible outdoor gathering spaces, and a larger amphitheater, all of which reduce impervious surface and enrich the civic experience. The historic north entrance is reactivated with improved pedestrian circulation and a clear civic arrival sequence, while the south side offers a more informal, semi-public open space. • Spatial Efficiency with Modern Enhancements: The first and third floors of the historic and new buildings align for functional connectivity, while vaulted first-floor spaces in the new construction allow for key programmatic elements like the lobby, community room, and courtroom to feature higher ceilings and more robust building systems.

The Police Department’s south-facing entry has less visibility and civic presence from 38th Avenue and is located near future multifamily residential development. • Structural and System Integration Complexity: Retaining the 1960s structure may necessitate added structural supports, shear walls, or bracing to meet current seismic and snow load codes—especially where the new pavilion connects to existing structures. Routing ductwork and conduit may be challenging due to lower ceiling heights, limiting flexibility for HvAC and lighting systems. • Infrastructure Constraints: Existing electrical and mechanical room locations may not align with the new floor plan, complicating conduit routing, photovoltaic system integration, and future maintenance access. The higher percentage of reused building area increases the risk of unforeseen conditions during construction. • vertical Circulation Complexity: Due to differing floor-to-floor heights, the second floor of the historic building does not align with the second floor of the new construction. While circulation between levels is maintained through strategic design interventions, this misalignment may present wayfinding and accessibility challenges that require careful resolution. 94FEASIBILITY STUDY OPP O R T U N I T I E S & C HA L L E N G E S + 1932 1921 Pavilion 1960s Depart.11,400 6,000 36,500 27,200 81,100 AD & CC 8,000 8,000 CD 5,000 5,000 CMO 3,200 3,200 MC 5,000 2,600 7,600 PD 7,600 2,000 5,300 16,800 31,700 Shared 2,000 2,200 3,500 7,700 Support 600 600 7,000 3,800 12,000 Public 1,400 4,000 500 5,900 81,100 BASEMENT FIRST FLOOR SECOND FLOOR PAVILION SECOND FLOOR PAVILION THIRD FLOOR HISTORIC THIRD FLOOR CH & PD HVAC STORAGE EVIDENCE BOOKING PD LOBBY RECORDS CH BREAK ROOM SHARED MEETING PUBLIC CAFE GALLERY MEETING SECURITY PUBLIC LOBBY FRONT DESK CH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CH ADMIN SERVICES CH COMMUNITY COURT SECOND FLOOR DOES NOT CONNECT TO PAVILION PD OFFICES PAVILION ��s �� PD PATROL MC OFFICES CH CMO OFFICES BOOKING HISTORIC THIRD FLOOR CH 1932 1921 Pavilion 1960s Depart.11,400 6,000 36,500 27,200 81,100 AD & CC 8,000 8,000 CD 5,000 5,000 CMO 3,200 3,200 MC 5,000 2,600 7,600 PD 7,600 2,000 5,300 16,800 31,700 Shared 2,000 2,200 3,500 7,700 Support 600 600 7,000 3,800 12,000 Public 1,400 4,000 500 5,900 81,100 BASEMENT FIRST FLOOR SECOND FLOOR PAVILION SECOND FLOOR PAVILION THIRD FLOOR HISTORIC THIRD FLOOR CH & PD HVAC STORAGE EVIDENCE BOOKING PD LOBBY RECORDS CH BREAK ROOM SHARED MEETING PUBLIC CAFE GALLERY MEETING SECURITY PUBLIC LOBBY FRONT DESK CH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CH ADMIN SERVICES CH COMMUNITY COURT SECOND FLOOR DOES NOT CONNECT TO PAVILION PD OFFICES PAVILION ��s �� PD PATROL MC OFFICES CH CMO OFFICES BOOKING HISTORIC THIRD FLOOR CH P O PDCH Pu b l i c Ou t d o o r Po l i c e De p a r t m e n t Ci t y H a l l PROGRAM MASSING DIAGRAMCOLOR LEGEND FLOOR PLATE DIAGRAM FOR 1960S REHAB CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS95 ALT E R N A T I vE 2 - C OU R T Y A R D 95 + 1932 1921 Pavilion Addition Depart.11,400 15,000 37,000 35,000 98,400 AD & CC 8,000 8,000 CD 2,300 4,000 6,300 CMO 3,800 3,800 MC 2,000 4,500 6,500 PD 3,800 27,000 30,800 Shared 1,000 4,400 5,000 2,500 12,900 Support 500 1,600 17,000 1,000 20,100 Public 5,000 5,000 10,000 98,400 BASEMENT FIRST FLOOR SECOND FLOOR HISTORIC FLO CH HVAC STORAGE PD LOBBY RECORDS PUBLIC CAFE GALLERY MEETING PUBLIC LOBBY FRONT DESK CH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CH CMO OFFIC PD BOOKING EVIDENCE STORAGE CH COMMUNITY ROOM + COURT SECOND FLOOR DOES NOT CONNECT TO PAVILION PD PATROL MC OFFICES FLO Alternative 2 - Courtyard COURTYARDThe Courtyard Alternative presents a more transformative approach to the Lutheran Legacy Campus by removing the majority of the 1960s addition and introducing a new civic structure that thoughtfully integrates with the remaining historic elements. While the full extent of demolition is still under evaluation, the current concept considers retaining up to two structural bays of the 1960s building to help stabilize and support the preserved 1921 Pavilion wall—an approach that will be further explored in future phases. This alternative prioritizes the long-term functionality and design integrity of the new civic campus while celebrating and preserving key historic components. By opening up the site between the historic 1921 and 1932 buildings, this scheme creates a central courtyard—bringing daylight, views, and landscape into the heart of the civic environment. This green space acts as both a physical and psychological connector, supporting biophilic design strategies that enhance staff well-being, improve public experience, and provide intuitive orientation throughout the facility. The removal of the deeper, daylight-restrictive 1960s floor-plates also improves design flexibility, enabling a purpose-built Police Department that better responds to their operational needs and security requirements. Both the City Hall and Police Department entries are located along the north façade, fronting 38th Avenue, to establish a unified civic identity and prominent public presence. The shared entry sequence and surrounding landscape reinforce the importance of civic accessibility while activating the exterior with community-oriented green space. This alternative offers an exciting balance between historic preservation, environmental quality, and thoughtful new construction—shaping a civic destination that is functional, forward-thinking, and rooted in place.

This configuration supports a strong civic identity and improves visibility for both City Hall and Police Department entrances. Parking structure allows for secure parking, sally port and below grade access to the police department for secure entry and in-custody transfer. • Infrastructure and System Efficiency: Retaining existing parking lots and some utility connections minimizes disruption to existing storm, water, and sanitary systems, with only selective relocations anticipated. The elimination of the 1960s addition allows for more flexible structural and programmatic planning unencumbered by legacy column grids, and enables more efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) routing. A central courtyard improves access to daylighting across both historic and new building areas. • Optimized Program and Circulation: This alternative supports a more purpose-built Police Department layout, with better control of secure areas and tailored adjacencies. The separation between new and historic buildings allows for distinct public and staff circulation, with intentional intersections for key functions like permit processing, maintaining security while enhancing transparency and user experience. • Enhanced Outdoor Areas: The central courtyard and surrounding green spaces reduce impervious surfaces, improve stormwater drainage, and provide access to views, daylighting, and informal gathering spaces. Landscaped areas support wellness, biophilic design strategies, and future integration with a potential library or additional civic functions. • Sustainable Design Opportunities: By removing less adaptable legacy structures, this scheme offers opportunities to design high-performance building envelopes and maximize energy efficiency. Carefully curated demolition may allow for salvaging materials like historically matched brick from the 2008 addition, contributing to waste reduction and lower embodied carbon. CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE - LUTHERAN CAMPUS98 OPP O R T U N I T I E S & C HA L L E N G E S 98 + CHALLENGES• Utility and Infrastructure Conflicts: Site modifications such as the new drive cut may require relocating a bus stop, fire hydrant, and electrical infrastructure. Existing transformers may need repositioning, introducing added coordination and potential costs. • Site Circulation Limitations: The two-way access road and no angled parking may impact traffic flow and limit flexibility, particularly for service and emergency vehicles. • Construction and Demolition Impact: This alternative involves more extensive demolition, resulting in increased construction waste and potential loss of embodied energy. Additional structural interventions—such as new supports at demolished interfaces, added shear walls or bracing for seismic and snow load compliance, and roof reinforcement for the new pavilion—will be required. • Thermal and System Efficiency Challenges: The central courtyard introduces additional building envelope area, which may increase heating and cooling loads and complicate MEP system layouts due to longer runs for ductwork, piping, and conduit between the new and historic structures. • Site Planning and Aesthetic Constraints: The amphitheater in this option is smaller than in the 1960s Rehab scheme and is oriented toward a utility area and southern access road, which may detract from its public appeal. These placements may also impact the development density and desirability of adjacent multifamily housing on the south end of the site.

Lutheran Campus Existing Conditions Narratives WHEAT RIDGE FACILITY SITE REPORT January 3, 2025 P a g e 1 | 3 CIVIL ENGINEERING Introduction The following narrative is provided as documentation of the existing site and utility infrastructure at the previously used Lutheran Legacy Campus site located at 8300 West 38th Ave in the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado. General Site Description The Lutheran Legacy Campus site is located at 8300 West 38th Avenue. The campus extends between West 32nd Avenue and West 38th Avenue, bordered by Allsion Street to the east and Dudley Street to the west. The Lutheran Campus is approximately 100 acres in size and is surrounded primarily by single family residential homes. It is understood that 38th Avenue is owned and maintained by the City of Wheat Ridge. Primary access to the campus is from West 38th Avenue to the north of the site and via North Lutheran Parkway on the east side of the campus building. There is additional campus access off 38th Avenue to the west of the campus via Lutheran Parkway West. The campus can also be accessed from the south via West 32nd Avenue via North Lutheran Parkway. The site includes three large asphalt parking lots on the eastern side of the campus. There is a drop off lane located on the east side at the main entrance to the building. In addition, there is an additional smaller lot located on the north side of the building along West 38th Avenue. This parking and drive lane provides access to the previously used emergency entrance. Drive access continues around to the west side of the building with limited parking available for campus facilities. There are multiple concrete sidewalks and pedestrian pathways to direct pedestrians from the parking lots to the main building. There is a multiuse path to the south of the building that runs along the Rocky Mountain Ditch connecting Lutheran Parkway West and North Lutheran Parkway. The buildings range from one to six floors in height. The larger main building is understood to have had multiple additions and renovations over the years, while still maintaining historical structures such as the Blue House and Chapel. The site is bifurcated into a northern and southern section by the Rocky Mountain Ditch that is owned and operated by Rocky Mountain Water Company. The Ditch runs through the middle of the site from the northwest to the southeast edge. For this report, the focus of the site observation will be the parcel of land to the north of the Rocky Mountain Ditch. WHEAT RIDGE FACILITY SITE REPORT January 3, 2025 P a g e 2 | 3 Figure X. Lutheran Legacy Campus Layout Recorded Surveys The site is located within Section 26, Township 3, Range 69 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, Jefferson County, Colorado. The parcel identification number is 39-262-00-045 and the site is currently zoned PHD (Planned Hospital Development). A recordation number of the Subdivision Plat was not available at the time of this report. Soil Data The site is made up primarily of hydrologic soil types C and D as reported by National Cooperative Soil Survey by the USDA and NRCS. Flood Zone Data The site is situated in within Zone “X”, an area determined to be outside the 2% annual chance floodplain as indicated on FEMA Flood Rate Map 08059C0214G, dated August 2, 2022, and is located outside of the 100- year floodplain. WHEAT RIDGE FACILITY SITE REPORT January 3, 2025 P a g e 3 | 3 Site Topography and Drainage Patterns The main hospital building is situated at the base of a hillside that slopes up in a southwesterly direction. Onsite drainage sheet flows across the parking lots until it is channelized within concrete pans or curb and gutter. Onsite flows are then directed into inlets that connect to the overall stormwater collection system. There are two small ponds located in the southwest corner of the site near the Rocky Mountain Ditch. It is understood that these ponds may be used for irrigation throughout the campus. The campus has a topographic relief on the order of approximately 30 feet from south to north. The ditch and Lutheran Parkway West are located at the high end of the site with a rapid decent to the southern and western sides of the building and parking lots. The remaining approximate 20 feet of fall occurs gradually across the site with the intersection of West 38th Avenue and North Lutheran Parkway located near the northeastern portion of the site being the lowest area. The site is comprised of grass lawns around the historic building and parking lots with larger trees and vegetation located near the ditch. Rocky Mountain Ditch is a significant physical constraint on the campus. Any adjustment to the ditch will need to be coordinated with the ditch provider. Existing Utility Systems Water Distribution System The existing water distribution system is owned and maintained by Wheat Ridge Water District. There are public mains located on all four sides of the campus within West 38th Avenue, 32nd Avenue, 35th Avenue, and Dudley Street with private connections on campus. The size and material of the private mains are unknown at the time of this report. Wastewater Collection System The Wheat Ridge Sanitation District maintains the wastewater collection system. There is an existing 8-inch public main located in West 38th Avenue that services the campus site. There are private sanitary mains on the campus to the east and west of the building. The size and material of the private mains are unknown at the time of this report. Electrical, Gas and Communication Systems Existing electrical distribution and communications lines exist in and around the campus. Xcel Energy provide the electrical and gas services. CenturyLink provides telecommunications to the site. Study Area/Site Boundaries • North of the Rocky Mountain Ditch and south of W. 38th Avenue. West boundary is Lutheran Parkway W. and east boundary is N. Lutheran Parkway and the parking immediately east of the parkway. Refer to the civil narrative for additional site description. Demolition • Select building demolition is slated for Fall 2025. • Site walls and retaining walls should be reviewed for structural integrity. Figure XX – Existing chapel to remain and be re-purposed. Topography & Vegetation • Generally, the site is lower in elevation in relation to W. 38th Ave to the north and the Rocky Mountain Ditch to the south. • The Rocky Mountain Ditch creates the southern site boundary for the project. Coordination with the ditch provider will be needed and it is understood that the ditch will likely be piped. There is an opportunity to enhance open space and multi-modal connectivity at the ditch. • Mature tree canopy is primarily along the Rocky Mountain Ditch, onsite detention ponds and W. 38th Avenue. o Data need: Tree study understood to be underway by the developer. • Irrigation is through surface water and possibly from the onsite detention ponds. • Throughout the site, there are opportunities to create networks of open spaces, pocket parks or courtyards, etc. Pending building concepts, an outdoor amphitheater/seating area or space for seasonal outdoor markets could be created for city functions. Figure XX – Mature vegetation and degraded asphalt walks at the ditch. Vehicular, Transit, and Bicycle Circulation • Access to the site is either from the north or south along North Lutheran Parkway and Lutheran Parkway West. Numerous parking lots exist throughout the site. It is understood that a future stop light may be constructed at the intersection of W. 38th Ave. and Lutheran Parkway W. • There is a bus stop at W. 38th Ave between North Lutheran Parkway and Lutheran Parkway West. • There is an opportunity on W. 38th Ave. to enhance the road corridor and create nodes or a gateway for the Wheat Ridge community. • Designated bicycle routes within the project boundary were not observed. There is an opportunity to create a route within the site boundary. • Multiple sidewalks connections exist throughout the site. They are primarily concrete, range in width and are both attached and detached. Walks could be maintained and enhanced as part of the pedestrian or multi-modal circulation network. There are also opportunities to protect and re-utilize existing courtyards and gathering areas. Figure XX – Example of existing parking lot. Striping is faded. Site lighting within rock mulch landscape islands. Figure XX – Opportunity for outdoor gathering space at the Blue House Figure XX – Existing courtyard/contemplative space. • There are deteriorated asphalt walking paths adjacent to the Rocky Mountain Ditch. Walk accessibility was not reviewed as part of the scope of this project, however, the ditch walk generally does not comply with current ADA code requirements due to deterioration, cracks, select longitudinal slopes, and gaps. o Data need: GIS data or 1’-0” topographic survey information from the 2021 Lutheran Legacy Campus Masterplan. It is also understood that the developer will be providing a utility survey. Signage and Site Amenities • Existing art sculptures are understood to be removed prior to demolition and will not be re-installed on- site. • Historic elements and portions of the building character could be incorporated into the immediate site amenities (plaza, courtyard, site amenities, etc.), along streetscapes (signage, lighting, wayfinding, etc.), and potentially throughout the City.

The campus is fed from two redundant Xcel Energy feeds: one from Arvada and one from Lakewood. a. Power comes in at 13.2kV. 2. Summary of Electrical Distribution a. Incoming power from Xcel feeds a primary switchgear located at the Boiler Plant. This switchgear includes seven sections: two incoming power bays, one metering section, and four sections serving step-down utility transformers to 277/480V 3-Phase power. i. 2500kVA Transformer #2 feeds Distribution Panel ‘D2’ serving the Emergency Room and Operating Room distribution. ii. 3000kVA Transformer #3 feeds a transition board that serves Distribution Panel ‘D1’ and I.T.E. Distribution Switchgear ‘D1’. iii. 2500kVA Transformer #1 feeds I.T.E. Distribution Switchgear ‘D1’ iv. 3000kVA Transformer #4 feeds the 4000A ‘MSG-NP’ at the North Pavilion. 3. The campus electrical design includes the following generators: a. (1) 2MW Generator #1 feeding Generator Distribution & Control Center ‘GDCC’. b. (1) 750kW Generator #4 feeding Chiller Plant ATS. c. (1) 750kW Generator #2 feeding Generator Distribution & Control Center ‘GDCC’. d. (1) 1250kW Generator #3 feeding Generator Distribution & Control Center ‘GDCC’. e. All generators operate at 480V-3Ph. f. All generators utilize diesel fuel from (2) 10,000 gal tanks underground. 4. The hospital building contains (2) fire pumps, one for the north and one for the south. 5. Construction History a. Observed various phases from 1932, 1960, 1970, 1984, 1992 and 2008. b. Particular attention was paid to the 2008 North Pavilion and Tower, which are anticipated to remain under this conceptual plan. Note that the North Pavilion is fed from Transformer #4, and much of the existing infrastructure may be available for reuse. i. Levels 4 and 5 are still in a Core & Shell state. Refer to Specific Observations for a summary of existing conditions on these levels. G2 Opportunities: 1. The City has indicated plans to demolish the entire Boiler Plant. There is a tremendous amount of power allocated to the campus through the three utility transformers located at the Boiler Integrated Lighting, Technology, & Electrical Solutions | Project Name | Page 2 OBSERVATION REPORT GENERAL OBSERVATIONS Plant (transformer #1, #2 and #3), and it is anticipated that these transformers and the equipment they serve could be demolished. 2. Much of the North Pavilion is planned for reuse, and Transformer #4 (exact location unknown) could be fed from a new primary line to continue serving the existing 4000A North Pavilion service. 3. Some or all of the existing generators could be reused across the campus, depending on the needs. 4. The North Pavilion contains some existing equipment that could be reused, including panelboards, transformers, light fixtures, fire alarm devices, and electrical outlets. However, the majority of the space would need to be redesigned downstream of the main service to meet the new building needs and current code cycles. G3 Challenges: 1. The City is concerned about maintenance requirements and would prefer to keep it simple. The existing campus distribution is complex, and even reusing a portion of the distribution for the North Pavilion would require some rework and simplification. 2. If any of the generators are reused, it will require redesign of enclosures, fuel storage, connections to the building service(s), etc. 3. The utility building (boiler plant) with the incoming power from Xcel is sitting on the location where a future apartment complex is proposed. It is likely the campus infrastructure will need to be reworked or demolished and all existing primary infrastructure relocated. 4.

Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Patrick Goff, City Manager DATE: March 9, 2026 SUBJECT: Civic Center Land Exchange Agreement ISSUE: The purpose of this staff report is to request City Council consideration and approval of an Agreement for the Exchange of Land between the City of Wheat Ridge and The LLC, LLC (the “Redeveloper”) for the exchange of: • The portion of the City-owned property at 7500 W. 29th Avenue currently occupied by the municipal building (the “Existing Civic Center Site”), and • Approximately 4.5 acres located on the north end of the 89-acre Lutheran Legacy Campus (the “New Civic Center Site”). This agreement establishes the terms and conditions under which the City would acquire property at the Lutheran Legacy Campus for a new municipal facility. This structure allows the City to reposition its City Hall without a direct land purchase. PRIOR ACTION: • City Council approved a contract with Stantec Architecture, Inc. on June 13, 2022 for the development of a Facility Management Plan (FMP) • Recommendations from the FMP were presented to City Council at the February 5, 2024 study session where consensus was reached to move forward with next steps • City Council approved a contract with Anderson Hallas Architects on September 23, 2024 to conduct a City Facility Feasibility and Planning Study • City Council consensus was reached at the June 16, 2025 study session to advance design for a new civic center and contract for the next phase of design development and cost estimation. BACKGROUND: The City owns approximately nine acres at 7500 W. 29th Avenue. Roughly half of the property is subject to Jefferson County Commissioner’s Deed restrictions requiring the land to remain in public open space or park use. The remaining portion, where the current municipal building and parking lot are located, is not deed restricted. The existing municipal building is functionally obsolete and no longer meets the City’s operational, technological, accessibility, or spatial needs. While the facility has been Study Session Memo – Civic Center Land Exchange Agreement March 9, 2026 Page 2 maintained responsibly, renovation is constrained by structural limitations and long- term cost considerations. The Redeveloper owns approximately 89 acres known as the Lutheran Legacy Campus (former Lutheran Hospital site), which has been rezoned as a mixed-use district. The site is being redeveloped into a walkable neighborhood incorporating residential, commercial, medical, and civic uses. Approximately 4.5 acres at the north end of the campus have been designated as a potential civic site (the “New Civic Center Site”). The location provides regional access, visibility, and integration within an emerging activity center. Overview of the Land Exchange Agreement The agreement provides for a direct exchange of land: • The City would convey the portion of its property currently occupied by the municipal building and associated parking (the “Existing Civic Center Site”) to the Redeveloper. • The Redeveloper would convey the New Civic Center Site to the City. The City would retain approximately four acres of park/open space at 7500 W. 29th Avenue in compliance with Jefferson County deed restrictions. The parties acknowledge that the developable characteristics, location, and restrictions affecting the parcels render them of roughly equivalent value for exchange purposes; thus, the Land Exchange Agreement provides that neither party will pay the other any money for the exchange. Due Diligence and Termination Rights The agreement provides meaningful protections for both parties. • Redeveloper will have 180 days from the execution of this agreement to conduct due diligence on the Existing Civic Center Site. • The City will conduct a two-phase due diligence process on the New Civic Center Site: o Immediate document review upon execution of this agreement; and o A 60-day physical inspection period following demolition of the former Lutheran Hospital (except any historic structures the City elects to preserve). If additional environmental study is required, either party may extend its diligence period by 120 days. Either party may terminate the agreement during its due diligence period if findings are unsatisfactory. Site Preparation Responsibilities A significant benefit of the agreement is the allocation of site preparation costs to the Study Session Memo – Civic Center Land Exchange Agreement March 9, 2026 Page 3 Redeveloper. Redeveloper will fund and construct approximately $13.5 million in improvements to the New Civic Center Site, including: • Demolition and abatement • Grading • Stormwater and detention facilities • Wet and dry utilities • Shared parking areas • Landscaping and irrigation The City will retain sole authority over architectural design and vertical construction of the New Civic Center building. Leaseback and Continuity of Operations To ensure uninterrupted municipal services, the agreement includes a leaseback provision allowing the City to remain in the existing building until: • A Certificate of Occupancy is issued for the New Civic Center; and • City operations have fully relocated. During this period, the City will pay nominal rent of $1.00 per year and maintain insurance coverage [The issue of rent is still being negotiated with the Redeveloper]. Conditions Precedent to Closing The land exchange will not close unless all required conditions are satisfied, including: • Subdivision and plat approvals for both properties; • City Council approval of an ordinance authorizing the sale pursuant to the Home Rule Charter; • Expiration or resolution of any referendum period on the ordinance to sell property; • Final land use approvals for redevelopment of the Existing Civic Center Site; • Completion of demolition and site preparation requirements; • Finalization of the Leaseback Agreement; • Approval of a construction contract for the New Civic Center; • Negotiated water and sewer rights transfers at fair market value. These safeguards ensure that both projects are viable before property transfers occur. Public Benefit The proposed exchange advances long-term public objectives by: • Replacing an obsolete municipal facility; • Preserving deed-restricted open space; • Anchoring civic presence within a growing mixed-use district; Study Session Memo – Civic Center Land Exchange Agreement March 9, 2026 Page 4 • Leveraging private infrastructure investment; and • Enabling redevelopment of the Existing Civic Center Site to enhance economic vitality. This represents a strategic repositioning of City-owned property aligned with community growth and fiscal stewardship. RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on staff’s review of the proposed Land Exchange Agreement and prior Council direction, staff respectfully offers the following recommendations for City Council consideration: 1. Approve the Land Exchange Agreement Staff recommends that City Council approve the Agreement for the Exchange of Land between the City of Wheat Ridge and The LLC, LLC, subject to final legal review and completion of negotiated terms. The agreement provides a balanced allocation of risk, meaningful due diligence protections, and clear conditions precedent to closing. 2. Direct Staff to Finalize Outstanding Negotiation Items Staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to finalize remaining negotiated items prior to execution, including: • Final leaseback rental amount and terms; • Final form of the Leaseback Agreement; • Cell tower lease 3. Direct Staff to Initiate Required Charter Process Approval of the exchange will require adoption of an ordinance authorizing the sale of municipal property pursuant to Section 16.5 of the Home Rule Charter. Staff recommends Council direct preparation of the required ordinance and initiate the formal Charter process, including compliance with applicable public notice and referendum provisions.
