TITLE
A RESOLUTION FINDING THE EXISTENCE OF BLIGHT IN THE
VICINITY OF THE 38tl> AVENUE CORRIDOR BETWEEN
SHERIDAN BOULEVARD AND WADSWORTH BOULEVARD
WHEREAS, the Urban Renewal Law of Colorado (931-25-101 et seq
C.R.S ) authorizes the analysis and consideration of factors within the City of Wheat Ridge to
determine if blight exists within certain areas of the City to utilize the provisions of the Urban
Renewal Law to eliminate and prevent blight and to develop and/or redevelop such areas for the
economic and social well being and public health, safety and welfare of the community. and
WHEREAS, such analysis has been undertaken to determine whether factors of blight
exist within the vicinity of the 38"' A venue Corridor between Sheridan Boulevard and
Wadsworth Boulevard, which study area is depicted on Exhibit 1 hereto (hereafter the "Study
Area"), and
WHEREAS, following requests for proposals and responses thereto, HNTB,
Corporation was chosen to conduct such blight analysis, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of the Wheat Ridge Urban Renewal
Authority (the Authority) was presented with such analysis, and reviewed and considered the
evidence and factors of blight presented to it at its public meeting on April 17, 200 I by HNTB,
Corporation representatives, and
WHEREAS, based upon the blight analysis and information presented to it, the
Authority enacted Resolution No 01-01 advising the City Council of its opinion of the
existence of factors of blight in the Study Area, recommending that City Council hold a public
hearing to consider evidence and determine if such factors of blight exist in the Study Area: and
that if Council makes findings of blight, that it establish an urban renewal area, and
WHEREAS, m compliance with ~31-25-1 04 C R. S of the Urban Renewal Law, notice
of a public hearing was provided to hear evidence and determine if factors of blight existed in
the Study Area, and
WHEREAS, in accordance with ~31-25-104 C R.S of the Urban Renewal Law. a
public hearing was held on April 23, 200 I, at which public hearing a full opportunity to be
heard was provided to all residents and taxpayers of the City of Wheat Ridge and all other
interested persons, and
WHEREAS, at such public hearing the City Council was presented evidence of the
existence of factors of blight within the Study Area.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Wheat
Ridge as follows
(\1
Section 1. Based upon the blight analysis by HNTB, Corporation, which analysis
and document was presented to Council at the public hearing and is incorporated In this
Resolution as Exhibit 2, the testimony of persons at the public hearing, the evidence presented
at the public hearing; and consistent with S3l-25-103(2), the City Council hereby finds that the
following factors of blight, as defined by such law, exist in the 38th A venue Corridor between
Sheridan Boulevard and Wadsworth Boulevard, within the City of Wheat Ridge, Jefferson
County, Colorado
A Slum, Deteriorated or Deteriorating Structures Of the properties ')
surveyed in the Study Area, nearly one-quarter (t,4) had some form of secondary or
exterior deterioration, including finishes. windows, doors, soffits and fascia, loading
areas, mechanical equipment, fences, walls and gates
Except for the residential properties in the entire Study Area and the
new development at 38"' Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard, all properties have some
forms of deteriorated site conditions
B Predominance of Defective or Inadequate Street Layout Substandard
parking layout is the most obvious example of this legal factor of blight. Many parking
lots require vehicles to back into traffic or use the sidewalk for parking Many parking
lots did not have curb stops along the sidewalk or marked/defined parking spaces,
causing dangerous conflicts with/between vehicles, bicycles, pedestnans and traffic
movement.
C Faulty Lot Layout In Relation To Size, Adequacy, Accessibility
or Usefulness Many of the lots are outdated because of age, are narrow or shallow
and not adequate to provide safe and accessible parking or pedestrian access and
movements
D Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions At least 25 properties and locations
within the Study Area had conditions such as severely cracked and uneven sidewalks.
existence of excess weeds, trash, and debris and contained some junked and/or
abandoned vehicles Inadequate drainage of storm water and water runoff (causing
dangerous ice accumulation in cold weather), graffiti and evidence of vandalism and
property destruction exists throughout the Study Area. There is a lack of adequate
provisions for the disabled.
E Deterioration of Site or Other Improvements Nearly one-half (50 %)
of the properties analyzed exhibited deterioration of the sites and improvements Such
legal factors of blight included parking surface deterioration (in some cases severe
deterioration of parking lots). significant lack of landscaping, unscreened Junk. trash
and trash containers and unscreened mechanical equipment in/on commerCial facilities
F The Existence of Conditions that Endanger Life or Property By Fire or
Other Conditions Because of the old age of most of the Study Area, many buildings
and improvements had severely and dangerously outdated fireproofing or fire
suppressant facilities, dangerous and inadequate fire escape mechanisms and no
sprinkler systems Such lack of fire safety facilities causes a danger of fire to the
tenants. businesses and users of the buildings The integration and use of sidewalks as
part of the parking lots and parking facilities creates a danger to pedestrians Many of
the sidewalks have become part of the paved parking area for businesses and are not
2
clearly delineated as sidewalks Most of the properties have unsightly and heavy
overhead utilities throughout the Study Area. There is a lack of adequate provisions for
the disabled.
G Inadequate Public Improvements or Utilities. There is a significant lack
of useable sidewalks throughout the Study Area, particularly in the winter with the
existence of snow and ice, which also creates a danger to pedestrians With the
integration of former sidewalks into the narrow, inadequate parking areas for
businesses within the Study Area, pedestrians are without adequate public facilities for /1..1.'1.
access and use Overhead utilities exist on the majority of properties in the Study Area. /j
Section 2. The City Council finds that the 38th Avenue Corridor from Sheridan
Boulevard to Wadsworth Boulevard, in its present condition and use and by reason of the
presence of the foregoing factors of blight, substantially impairs the sound growth of the City of
Wheat Ridge, constitutes an economic or social liability and is a menace to the public health.
safety and welfare of the community
Section 3. An urban renewal area within the City of Wheat Ridge in the general
vicinity of the 38th Avenue Corridor from Sheridan Boulevard to Wadsworth Boulevard as
depicted on Exhibit 1 hereto is hereby created and to be known as the 38"' A venue Corndor
Redevelopment Area.
Section 4. The staff is hereby directed, with the assistance of the Wheat Ridge
Urban Renewal Authority, to commence the process for the preparation of an urban renewal
plan, to be known as the 38th Avenue Corridor Redevelopment Plan, to be eventually
considered for approval by the City Council.
