A bill for an ordinance changing the zoning classification for 3087 S. Sheridan Boulevard. Rezones property located at 3087 South Sheridan Boulevard from Former Chapter 59 B-2 with Waivers to S-CC-3x (from the former Chapter 59 business zoning code to suburban commercial corridor) in Council District 2. The Committee approved filing this bill at its meeting on 12-20-16.
I police lost voting and as a result, 12 eyes 12 eyes council bill 1166 has passed. Congratulations. Thank you. Okay, we have one more council. Well, Councilwoman Gilmore, will you please put Council Bill 13 zero nine on the floor? Yes, Mr. President. I move that council bill 1309 be placed upon final consideration and do pass. It has been moved in second in a hearing for Council Bill 13 zero nine is now open. May we have the staff report at lisa hall. Good evening, president and members of council on spoke with community planning and development here to present the case at 3087 South Sheridan. The existing zoning on the site is former Chapter 50 excuse me, former Chapter 59 B2 with waivers and the proposal is to go to SCC three X. Moving on to side two, you can see that the subject property is located in Council District two and in the Bear Valley neighborhood. On Slide four is a map of the subject property, location, aerial. And it is at the southwest corner of Colgate in South Sheridan Boulevard, near the Bear Valley Shopping Center. The property itself is a bit under one acre and it is currently used as a vacant surface parking lot. The request is to rezone from former Chapter 50 9b2 with waivers to a3x. The specific request is in the suburban neighborhood context. CC Standing for commercial corridor three is a maximum building height of three stories, and that X means that there's additional use limitations that are more stringent than those in, say, the SCC three. In the review of the existing context, the zoning of the property to the south is a3x with the property to the West as B2 with waivers, and the North is a former Chapter 59 PD and across the street to the east as assumed, which is a single unit zoned district. Bear Valley Shopping Center is primarily B3, which is a former Chapter 59 zoning as well as some other SCC three x. Specifically, though, what is currently on the site is two waivers. The first is leaving the right to allow for any sort of adult uses. It's important to note here that now adult uses are captured within a use overlay which cannot be mapped or expanded in the city of Denver. So it's currently not allowed on this site and the rezoning will not enable for any adult uses on the site. Secondarily, in the primary purpose of the rezoning is the waiver to construct anything within 100 feet of South Sheridan with a the zone lot of a depth of about 112 feet. It really prohibits any sort of development from occurring on the site. And through the evaluation of this, the intent to waive that really wasn't seemed to be important moving forward as all the rest of the area has developed since then, as this is very old waivers. The waivers were in play prior to the Bear Valley Shopping Center. So as we can see, more development has occurred. That is within 100 feet of South Sheridan and this is a remnant of it pardon. So from an existing land use perspective, the site is considered surface parking. There is an office tower and bank to the west and then we have some commercial uses to the north and south as well as quasi judicial to the east and single family residential to the northeast to acquire ourselves a little bit more with the suburban type of development. The top right photo is that of a Walgreens and the bottom is that of the site that you can see currently. So the process that has moved forward for this case has been standard with standard notification of notice to R.A., as well as sign posting on the property notifying of the planning board which recommended approval of the site. Notice for land use, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, as well as notifications of this hearing here tonight. As of the date of this report as well as this evening, we have not received any comments specific to this application. Therefore, as we move through the rezoning criteria, we do have two citywide plans to review Plan 2000 as well as blueprint done for the land use and transportation plan. Comp Plan 2000 provides a variety of strategies. Few that I'll just highlight are promoting infill development within sites that already have the infrastructure in place, focusing our development along arterial corridors to understand their importance for commercial activity and encouraging infill development that's consistent with the character. Moving on to Blueprint Denver. The subject property is considered a town center which is intended to provide uses that provide shopping, entertainment service, employment needs that not only serve the needs of the neighborhood but the larger region. It is an area of stability, meaning that we are wanting to maintain the current pattern of growth while accommodating for some reinvestment in the area. This is consistent with the street classification of South Sheridan Boulevard being a residential arterial, providing services for residences in the area and West Cole as an undesignated local. Moving further on to the other review criteria, we do find that this is uniform in the district regulations and application across the city. This application furthers the public health, safety and welfare through the implementation of city adopted plans. SAP has also conducted a review of the B2 with waivers to the West and concluded that no adverse impacts will occur by removing this portion out of the B2 with waivers. The justifying circumstances is that since the time of these waivers in the early seventies, there's undergone significant redevelopment of the Baer Valley Shopping Center, changing the character of the area, making the site appropriate for development. And we find that it is consistent with the neighborhood context zone, district purpose and intent of the suburban neighborhood district. And as such, CPD does make the recommendation this evening to approve the rezoning based on the review that other criteria have been met. Thank you. All right. Thank you. We have two speakers this evening. I loved him to come to the front. Troy Campbell and Lorraine Tucker. Campbell, your first 3 minutes. Good evening. My name is Troy Campbell.

Seeing none that the public hearing for Council Bill 13 zero nine is now close. Comments by members of Council Councilman Flynn. There we go. Thank you, Mr. President. I wanted to check to make sure this wasn't a mirage and that there actually was a reason requesting counsel to speak to my predecessor. Councilwoman Fox, I believe, had told me that there had not been a rezoning for the last six years, at least, of her tenure. So I imagine this is the seven year itch. I have had no concerns from any any constituents in my in my district or any other businesses. So I'm happy to support this tonight. Thank you. Thank you. Councilman Flynn, Councilman Espinosa. Yeah. I feel guilty not asking a question since you came all the way from Texas. But I just wanted to take this moment to congratulate Aunt Elise. She is now the lead role of the slot home task force. So since I have chosen this venue, I'm going to do it. So thank you for taking that on. So sorry. All right. Are you excited to take that? I'm just joking. Okay. Councilman Nu. I just want to congratulate Councilman Flynn on getting a rezoning in his district. We've been waiting many, many a day for this event, and we want to remember this was not as big as the Super Bowl last night, but this is a great event. And so we're proud of what you're doing. I also had a question, if this is the second highest point in your district. I want to. Share. Okay. Thank you. Mr. President. Yeah, no problem. Councilman Clark. Thank you, Mr. President. That was in the vein of I forgot to ask that during the questions. But is this the highest rezoning we've had since we've been on council? May I respond to the scurrilous comments? Yes. Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. No, it is not. It's in Bear Valley, so it's one of the lower points in the highest district in the city. If you can't have fun on council and can. Yeah. Hey, I want to just.

I want to thank everybody for for working hard on this. Councilman Flynn, congratulations on your first rezoning. May I make one more comment? Well, in a serious vein, when I said I've talked to some constituents, the business that's contemplated here, if I might, might I say. No. Okay. I've talked to some I've talked to some of the I've talked to some of the one of the in particular one of the business owners in the district who directly competes.
