A bill for an ordinance changing the zoning classification of 1901 Wazee Street in Union Station. Approves an official map amendment to rezone property from I-MX-8 UO-2 to PUD-G #19 (industrial, mixed-use to planned development), located at 1901 Wazee Street in Council District 9. The Committee approved filing this item at its meeting on 10-2-18.
Hi, Madam Secretary. Please. Because the voting announced the results 12 hours, 12 hours. Resolution one, two, four, six has passed. Council is now reconvene. Council will resume its regular session. Councilman Cashman, will you please put Council Bill 1006 on the floor? I'm working overtime here, Mr. President. I move the council bill 18, dash 1006 be placed upon final consideration and do pass. We appreciate your hard work. It has been moved and seconded. The public hearing for Council Bill 1006 is open. May we have the staff report? Good evening, council president and members of council. I'm Liz Weigel with Community Planning and Development and I will provide the staff report. This is an official map amendment for 1901 wasI Swasey Street from IMX 802 to Pdg 19. It is located in Council District nine in the Union Station neighborhood. The the subject site is bounded by 19th Street wasI Street and 20th Street. It's currently occupied by a surface parking lot and a walkway that we will be referring to as Wynkoop Promenade. The rezoning from I am x eight, which is an industrial mixed use district with a billboard use overlay to plan unit development 19 would facilitate development of the site with mixed uses. As I mentioned, it's currently zoned I am x eight to surrounding properties include the downtown lower downtown district. Light industrial zoning over Coors Field and adjacent pods. As I mentioned, the subject site currently has surface parking on it. Surrounding properties include the baseball stadium office, commercial mixed use and multi-unit residential uses. This is an image of the site looking southwest towards downtown. The site is outlined in yellow and these images show the site itself in the center at the top and the mix of buildings and building forms around the site. The purpose of a planned unit development or APD, is to provide an alternative set of regulations to a standard zoning district and unique and extraordinary circumstances. It allows for more flexible zoning than what would be achievable in a standard zoned district without putting in place multiple variances, waivers and conditions. In this case, the Pdg 19 is proposed to address several unique circumstances, including the site's location. In the downtown context, its adjacency is to lower downtown and to the baseball stadium. The site configuration, including the lack of a street connection along Wynkoop Street, the lack of an alley, and the grade change along 20th Street. Given the site's unique conditions, the PD uses the downtown Arapahoe Square 12 plus district as a base district with tailoring and incorporation of Cemex 12, which is our urban center context regulations as appropriate. Key elements include tailoring of the primary building form standards, alternatives and exceptions, including a height transition from 19th to 20th streets. The provision of wynkoop promenade as a pedestrian access through the site. The establishment of primary and side streets on lot lines, including the treatment of Wynkoop Promenade as a primary street. The provision of 20% private open space. Administrative design standards and guidelines, which are largely based on downtown Arapahoe Square and maximum vehicle parking. The public process is listed here on the site on the slide. The planning board heard this application on September 5th and recommended approval. We also have letters of support from the Downtown Neighborhood Association, the Downtown Denver Partnership and the one Wynkoop Plaza Condominium Homeowners Association, which is included in your in the staff report and also in speaking in support at the planning board. The Rocky Mountain Warehouse Lofts Homeowner's Association also submitted a copy of a memorandum of understanding that they have come to with the developer. In addition, the applicant also hosted a number of community meetings both before and during the application process, which is outlined in the application for the in terms of the rezoning criteria and the Denver zoning code, there are standard review criteria for all non legislator on legislative rezonings and additional criteria that I will walk through for a Pudi district. So first, the standard rezoning criteria of which we have five. The first is consistency with adopted plans, of which we have four in this area. First, staff finds that the application is consistent with a number of comprehensive plan 2000 strategies, and most of which deal with promoting infill development, mixed use and transit oriented development in Blueprint, Denver 22 The land use concept here is downtown and an area of change downtown is described as the centerpiece of the city where we want to direct growth and mix of uses. Also, we're looking for high quality urban design and to have special design standards in place. Blueprint Denver also speaks to the use of a planned unit to. It's generally discouraging them because they complicate administration over time and they are not very flexible over time. But it does say that they should only be used in extraordinary circumstances and in this case. Would you feel that this Pudi meets the requirement of these being extraordinary circumstances of the downtown area plan from 2007 includes this site in the lower downtown district. Most of the guidance in the plan for this area speaks to the historic district itself, but it does call out this site as an opportunity, say it recommends a priority, pedestrian connection through it, and encourages neighborhood serving retail. There are also a number of general recommendations in the downtown area plan of which this application is consistent, including prioritizing pedestrian, strengthening connections, encouraging active ground forces, expanding housing opportunities, improving our design guidelines and zoning to realize the desired character of downtown, and enhancing the public realm to provide venues for outdoor activity. The Central Platte Valley Comprehensive Plan Amendment from 1991 also applies to this site, and this plan gave guidance around the redevelopment of the valley itself. This area is called our is general mixed use and specifically called out as an area where light industrial usage should not be allowed. It's also identifies it as part of what's called the mid-rise heights in the plan. There are not specific heights called out in this plan, but it points you to an appendix that talks about a height of about 140 feet that was discussed during steering committee meetings. This plan also calls out a priority pedestrian access point along the wine coop alignment, which is consistent with the proposed pedestrian access in the PD. And then lastly, this area is within what's called the upland area of this plan amendment, which said that new buildings should respect the scale and character of the downtown and provide or improve pedestrian and bicycle access and provide open space. So staff does find that the proposed idea is consistent with adopted plans will also result in uniform application of zone, district, building, form, use and design regulations. It will further public health, safety and welfare through implementing our adaptive plans and also encouraging a pedestrian friendly environment. Open space amenities in an appropriate use list of the application identifies and staff agrees that there has been significant development in around Union Station neighborhood that are justifying circumstances for the rezoning. And also the PD is consistent with the downtown neighborhood context as it uses the downtown Arapahoe Square 12 plus as a base with tailoring to ensure neighborhood compatibility. So now I will walk through the specific rezoning criteria of which there are five. The first is that the Pudi is consistent with the intent and purposes of Pdes, which are stated in Article nine of the zoning code. I'll walk through these. As I mentioned, unique and extraordinary circumstances is one of those criteria. We do feel that that given that the plan guidance for this area recommends the downtown context, but we do not have an appropriate downtown zone district at this pudi is appropriate. Our closest fit would be Cmax, which is the Urban Center District, but this would not address the lack of a public right of way or as an extension of Lincoln Promenade. It would not address the downtown location and regulations that we have in place for other downtown districts. And it also does not address the immediate context of the lower downtown historic district. So the Pudi uses our most recent downtown district, which is D as 12 plus as a as a base, together with urban center regulations as appropriate to address the site's unique features. The next criteria is that it should not be as few do. You should not is not intended to so solely as a veto vehicle to develop a site inconsistent with the applicable neighborhood context or to enhance economic feasibility and staff finds that, as I mentioned, the Pudi G 19 is consistent with the downtown neighbor could context and character and it is actually intended as a mechanism to ensure that development is consistent with our adopted plans. The beauty criteria also speaks speaks to the fact that in exchange for flexibility, there should be significant public benefit, which we do find that the beauty does provide, that first being the provision of one who. Promina and again, that would be a pedestrian public access way through the site. Along that the alignment of Wynkoop Street, the transition from 19th to 20th Street that addresses that LoDo adjacency, pedestrian friendly design and building forms. A provision of 20% of the site is private, open space and maximum vehicle parking requirements. We also find that the PD complies with all standards and criteria stated in Division 9.6 and that the beauty is necessary because there is no standard zone district available that applies downtown appropriate standards to this unique location and addresses the site's unique configuration with regard to Wynkoop, Promenade and 20th Street and not lastly to Moore. The PD establishes permitted uses that are compatible with existing land uses adjacent to the subject property. There are no use related changes proposed, so we'll use the D as 12 plus zone district use list. And then lastly, the PD establishes permitting building forms that are compatible with adjacent existing building forms. And again, we, the PD, will be using the DS 12 plus general with height, incentive building form and the CRM X12 General Building form with tailoring to vary heights from 19 to 20 20th Street and apply standards to the Wynkoop promenade to treat it as basically as a primary street in terms of its build to its transparency and its active uses. And the PD incorporates administrative design standards and guidelines that will ensure that it's tailored and addresses the LODO adjacency. So with that finding that all review criteria have been met, CPD recommends approval of the Map Amendment application. Thank you. Thank you so much. We have eight individuals signed up to speak this evening, so if you wouldn't mind coming up to this front bench so we can get through everyone quickly and efficiently. As soon as I call your name, step up to the podium as your time will start to elapse. First up, we have Hal Roth. Good evening, Mr. President, members of the council. My name is Hal Roth and the chief financial officer of the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club 2001 Blake Street, Denver. I'd tonight I'd like to explain to you why we are undertaking this project. When we were negotiating with the Denver Metropolitan Major League Baseball Stadium District here and after Stadium District on a new lease for Coors Field, the biggest issue was the capital needs of the stadium going forward. We had two separate engineering studies done, both of which came back that we would need $200 million over the next 30 years to keep the stadium in the shape that it is now. This is such things as replacement of steel, concrete seats, a lot of infrastructure, equipment, similar things that you deal with on city business buildings. The issue is that the tax that established Coors Field had expired. So there's still public money left. So one of the ideas of the stadium district was to go out with a request for proposal to developers, got back five proposals from the developers. They offered a 99 year lease from the stadium district and the problem with their proposals were in the first year they'd pay, as I recall, about two and a half million dollars. In year 99, it was 18.6 million. And we said, Well, gee, that's all good and great, except we need it in the first 30 years. So we came back with the proposals, the Rockies. What happens if we pay an amount over the first 30 years that exceeds the present value of what the developers offered? So we have agreed to pay 125 million for this ground lease, which we will then sublease to develop an entity. Many of the members of the development entity will be similar to the owners of the Rockies. So that's how we were going to proceed to provide the capital funding for the stadium. And I would like to thank the city, the city planning department, and particularly to Liz Weigel for all our hard work on the pad. I'd like to thank our neighbors and the neighborhood groups that have worked with us in planning this project. And finally, I'd like to thank City Council for your consideration tonight. Thank you. Next up, John and Shuki. Good evening. My name is Johnny on a shoe ski. I'm with Stantec Architecture, the architects for the project and we are at 1050 17th Street, Denver. When we started working with the Rockies in the neighborhood group we always start our project was trying to define a vision. Where does everybody want to be when we're done? And this was fairly unique vision that the Rockies had because they wanted to know what the neighbors thought and what the neighbors believe was the next best thing for Denver. And we kind of identified four big areas. Denver's next great, next, great place is where the biggest bang for our buck was no different than Union Station in Larimer Square that we wanted this area to be relevant year round. Right now it's relevant 81 days of the year. And every time you go down there, especially now, there's nothing going on. So we wanted it for family friendly and safe, and we want it to be a neighborhood gathering spot. So with all those criteria, we looked at the current zoning, which is IMX eight, 750,000 square feet. You could build within that envelope, but that envelope didn't accommodate the forms that we were looking for to really take action on those relevant goals. So we went the pod pulled out with the city and we kind of set up certain goals within the city that work not only with our design but within the city envelope of what we can create with the PD. One of those goals was to created something that fit into the downtown context but related to lower downtown. And how did we do that and how do you step up from lower downtown to the stadium side? And we did that within the PD with limiting at a setback that happens at eight storeys, which is typical for lower downtown, limiting everything along 19th street to 11 storeys and then working our way up to 20th Street where we can do 13 stories for the hotel and a residential. The project is currently said the way it works now with the neighborhood at about 660,000 square feet, so 90,000 square feet below the use by Wright that we had originally. So all we're doing here is looking for a massing change to accommodate all the goals that we're trying to get. The other goal we wanted to do is activation along line coupe. Right now, there's no activation on wine coop. It's a dead zone in the city. Anything that goes in there usually fails. And so the idea is to activate that no different than a public street. And we've accomplished that within this new duty. We also wanted to create a content plaza no different than Rockefeller Center in the center of this plaza. In order to do that, we looked at open space requirements within the zoning and none existed. This will have open space of over 20% and over 50,000 square feet. When you combine the two plazas, which will be a certain placemaking effort within the city, that it doesn't really exist within that neighborhood. And last but not least, relating back to the ball park and the LoDo context with site specific design guidelines, heavy articulation and masonry. Thank you very. Much. Thank you. Next up, Sean Reilly. Good evening, Mr. President. Members City Council. My name's Shaun Maley, CRL Associates 1660 Lincoln, Denver. We've been working with the Rockies and the architect on the West Lot PD and wanted to just briefly go over a few items from our public outreach process and work with the community. So starting in August of 2017, we started working with the neighborhood and community and having meetings with the RINO's and Archways was in the area. We held a span of neighborhood meetings, six in total where we talked about the project, its relationship to the ballpark, as Hal explained, and some of our initial goals and visions for the sites, we also presented a number of different public venues, including boards, ah, snowboards, Urban Design Committees, Public Realm Committees and quite a few others. We're honored to have support from the surrounding community here tonight, including the Lower Downtown Neighborhood Association, Downtown Denver Partnership, One Wine Coop Lofts and the Rocky Mountain Warehouse Lofts. Some members of the community are here tonight, and I want to thank them for taking time out of their personal schedules to attend this hearing. The process has been iterative and fortunately occurred at a time when we could make significant changes and include certain items within the party. That's before you. I want to thank all the neighbors for their time they've spent with us and meeting. And their openness to this site's redevelopment in a positive and transformative matter is critical to us being here tonight. Lastly, I also want to thank community planning development staff, in particular Liz Weigel, who spent a lot of time and helped us with guidance on the PD lessons, is an exceptional planner and want to thank her and all her colleagues at CPD. Thank you so much. And we're here to answer any questions. Thank you. Next up, Jerry, aka. And good evening. My name is Gerry aka. I live at 1863 Swazi Street and I'm the president of the Rocky Mountain Warehouse Lofts Homeowner's Association. Our building is directly across the street from this project on the 19th Street frontage, and I am here in support of the project and the proposed rezoning. We have had numerous meetings with representatives of the Colorado Rockies for more than a year now. They have consistently sought our input and have responded favorably to the majority of our issues. We have signed with the Rockies a memorandum of understanding which declares that there will be no outdoor speakers on any part of the building or on any of the businesses in the project that front on either 19th Street or Swasey Street. This document, along with the continued good faith efforts of the Rockies to work collaborative with the Neighborhood Lead us to conclude that this project will be of high quality, will be an asset to the neighborhood, and will be well received by those living around it. Therefore, as I said earlier, the Rocky Mountain Warehouse Lofts Homeowner's Association is pleased to support this project and the proposed rezoning. Thank you. Thank you. Next up, Andy Davis. Hi there. My name is Andy Davis. I live at 1801 chestnut place here in Denver. I'm the president of the Lower Downtown Neighborhood Association. Or LaDonna, as many of you know, I'm here on behalf of our organization to lend our strong support both to the rezoning as well as the project as a whole. And a big reason for our. Enthusiastic support is, is. Because of the process that we've been engaged in. As Sean mentioned, starting back in September of 2017, the Rockies reached out to La Dona, to the surrounding archways and other LoDo stakeholders for more than a year to engage us in an ongoing discussion about their plans. They weren't required to seek our feedback, but they did. They actively engaged all of our organizations, regularly start our feedback and integrated it in meaningful ways. So just to kind of elucidate that a little bit, we would get together. They kind of laid out their original plans. We provided some feedback. We get together maybe a month or two later. They demonstrate how they integrated, integrated that feedback from Here's what we heard, here's how we integrated it and then saw our reactions reacted to that next version. And then two months later we met again. That went on for several months. As Sean mentioned, we met over six times that that collaborative process produced some really important outcomes at the publicly accessible plaza. The cut through that goes from 19th and Wynkoop to 20th. And while C, which better connects the pedestrian traffic from Wynkoop to the stadium and now better addresses the service and delivery truck traffic in and out of the building, which was a concern of our our neighbors, takes into account the 50 to 80 loop and integrates it into its plans and again maintains the context and materiality of LoDo and the surrounding area. As Jerry mentioned, it's important to us too, because we were a cosigner to the memorandum of understanding which addresses the neighborhood noise concerns and requires that any commercial tenants or businesses applying for liquor license that they abide by the same. The Rockies could have pursued a very different project if they wanted to, but it was important to them to seek the feedback of local stakeholders and create a project that all of us could support. They made good on that that commitment with a thoughtful and deliberative process, and the project is better because of it. Not all projects work this way, and not all organizations engage our community in a way that the Rockies did. And frankly, what they did was is a model for community engagement, and they deserve to be commended for it. That active communication hasn't stopped the Rockies committed to maintain consistent communication throughout the construction process, and we've already met once since the construction started and they've put us in direct contact with Hensel Phelps, the general contractor. And we're actually they're providing us monthly updates that we're including in our lower downtown neighborhood newsletters. So given all of that, we lind our enthusiastic support to the project, to the rezoning and the project as a whole. Thanks so much. Thank you. Next up, Rick Newman. Good evening. My name is Rick Penniman. I live at 1735 19th Street. I am here representing the One Wynkoop Plaza Homeowner's Association. I'm the president of that association and wanted to speak on behalf of the individuals who reside in our building and will be directly affected by this project. If you're not aware, our front door is directly next to Hollow at the moon, which is an auspicious occasion on its own periodically. But as we step out this front door, we are looking forward to seeing the project that is being proposed this evening. We are here. I am here along with the others representing our building and showing our support for the project and specifically for the process. It's been incredibly collaborative, as has already been stated. I think that the organizations involved have gone above and beyond what is normally required to engage in a project like this. The changes we recommended were taken to heart and considered, and if they weren't able to be put into process as part of the project, there was a great explanation as to why this is going to have a tremendously positive effect on our lower downtown community. In listening to the the dreams that the Rockies have for this site, they want it to be the first place that people come when they step off the train from the plains and come to our cities. They want to come to this project and be part of the lower downtown facilities on a year round basis. It's going to maintain, if not improve, the esthetics of lower downtown. They've gone out of their way to make sure that it looks like many of the other buildings in the area. And it's going to be drawing more families to lower downtown. This is going to be a family friendly environment. One of the things that we noticed as after we moved to lower downtown is there's just not as many strollers as there are other neighborhoods. And I think this project will change that. The Rockies in this project. Wanted to enhance the value of the stadium and. Which has been the cornerstone. And we. Believe. That this project. Will not only enhance. But actually propel the lower downtown area to be the number one draw in Denver. And so with that, we give our support to this project and look forward to seeing it develop. Although the dust might get to us for the next three years or so, but otherwise it's going to be a great event in our city. Thank you for your time. Thank you for your service. Thank you. Next up, Chairman A. Slapstick. I was Chairman Sekou the extraction movement for self-defense. Mayor. Candidate. City County of Denver, 2019. First of all, we want to congratulate the Rockies organization for bringing vibrancy and. Economic viability and also jobs. Two poor people in this town. So we support this because they're one of the few organizations that actually do outreach to help poor people in terms of being a part of the concessions in the town. Also, we're getting vendor space also helps high school teams to raise money for their teams in our neighborhood so that they can buy uniforms and shoes and stuff like that. And so they've been a good neighbor. They've been a very good neighbor. And. I am. I hated that I got gentrified out my neighbor. I live on 25th and Chavis Street and. I'd leave my neighborhood because the rent was too high, went from $600 to 1800 dollars overnight, and my Section eight wouldn't cover. And they told me that I wasn't wanted. And it was a 12 step program brought in by a Christian organization about building who said it wasn't going to do that, but they did it anyway. So it's okay. So I was born and raised here five points, six, seven years. We'll celebrate my birthday on Friday and I would be remiss to say that I forgot. I want to apologize for my tone and manner. My family want me to come down here because I just buried my wife on Saturday. And they think it was a good idea for me to come down here. And I told him that the only thing that helps me deal with my grieving is I get to get back to work. You know, because she's good to go. You know, I'm the one is in trouble. So thank you for putting this on the agenda at this time because I really need a break from the nine. I really did. And this one is really a no brainer. We're all in for it. And I love the city. I love the Rockies. And. Good luck. Thank you. Next up, Jesse Paris. Jesse Paris. Black Star Action Moment for Self-defense. Denver Homicide Law and Community Action Committee for Change. And also At-Large candidate for Denver and 2019. We are against this. This is just more planned gentrification in an already rapidly gentrified city. All parts of the city are being gentrified and there seems to be no stop in sight. By allowing this ordinance change, you are just filling the problem and not addressing the crisis at hand, which is homelessness and affordability in the city and county of Denver. This neighborhood in question is no no where by any means affordable. My question is, what is the army level going to be for this plan development? And who is going to occupy this plan and development. Because I've been in a movement profession for the past three years and I've moved several gentrifiers into these properties and into these areas. So I know firsthand this has become an all white enclave with no end in sight. You have to have big dollars to live, play and occupy this space. This public plaza is not public, especially if you are homeless. I would like to see a study done on how many tickets, how many harassments and how many arrests occur in this plaza. Denver. We have a crisis at hand. It's even bigger than the opioid crisis. It's the fact that people cannot afford to live in this once affordable town abode city. You want to turn this into a New Amsterdam? That's really what it boils down to. In the cities in these studies. Are all predominantly white. You want to keep this an all white enclave? There's nothing has changed except a year. This is a modern day Jim Crow. The people are support of this are part of the problem. They have funded and fueled the urban camping ban, which was passed in 2012 that members of this council approved on. So, yeah, this is not helping anybody except to openly rich and those that can afford to live and LoDo around the stadium, around Coors Field. Yes, I am a Rocky fan, but I am not a supporter of this. Thank you. Thank you. That concludes our speakers. Are there any questions from members of Council Councilwoman Ortega? Thank you, Mr. President. I first wanted to ask about the open space, and I'm not sure, Mr. Young, to see if you're the best person to address that. What what that looks like, how that will feel to the. Not just the. Development itself, but for the public. Can you just speak to that? So again, part of the idea was to have a content plaza. Again, as I said, similar to Rockefeller Center, where it's not a really about the buildings in this project, it's about what's between the buildings. And so in order to get an area of about 25,000 square feet in the center of this block, we carved out an area for this content plaza. And within doing so, we had to reallocate some of that square footage. And the idea for the Content Plaza is to be a counterpoint to what's happening on the plaza at Wynkoop. So we have all this activity. Think of the activity in one as a stream and the Content Plaza ad is eddy off the stream and this eddy is there for neighborhood gatherings. It's there for performances. It's just another way to showcase what Denver has, but do it in a relevant year round format. That'll be a benefit to the city. Thank you. I'm not sure. Maybe, Mr. Roth, you might be the next best person to address whether or not there is any proposed city resources expected to go into the development. Is there a look at tax increment financing or any other public financing tools to help make this project become a reality? We've established a metro district actually to I am plan to use the bonds that will be issued under that Metro District districts to improve the Wynkoop walkway and also the improvements to the sidewalks on 19th NYC. Okay. Thank you. I have no other question. Thank you. Councilwoman Ortega. Councilman Brooks. Yeah, thank you, Mr. President. Liz, quick question. There was a one lone one no vote opposed. Can you explain their planning board? Yep. The concern there was with the height that's allowed in the powder and whether that was consistent enough with the LoDo adjacency. So the PD allows from 110 at 19th street it goes up to 150 and then 165. So one planning board member had concern about that. But that's it's consistent with the Arapahoe Square. It's so the only high guidance that we have is from the CPV Amendment Plan, which is from 1991, that talks about mid-rise heights that didn't have a specific allotment for that. But we do feel that that is consistent in terms of making that transition together with the design standards and guidelines that come along with the pad of making sure that it's addressing LoDo appropriately. Interesting. All right. Can you can you talk about parking demand again? This says this is a parking demand site. What is the do you have the ratio for retail in the. So there are no minimum parking requirements. So that's consistent with our downtown standards. But you have. Maximum. There's a maximum. What we did was establish a maximum number overall for the site, for the ease of administration. You don't have administering that. We do have ratios that are I can pull them up that we use to get to that number. But we felt that for administration over time it would be complicated to put the ratios into the paddy itself and that we established. Okay. I'm going to ask a couple of other questions for you just to look at those real quick and then tell me and then Sean, may I just have a quick question for you? Obviously, it sounds like a lot of the neighbors concerns were met. There is one around, you know, affordability in the neighborhood. You this is under under the linkage fee. So what is the amount that the linkage fee will contribute to our housing fund? Yeah, I just checked with how we're off on that and it's approximately 1.13 million. Okay, great. Does that give you enough time list. So that the ratio that we use to get to the maximum was one space per thousand for commercial uses? Okay. And there's 107 condos. I believe so. And it's we use 2.8 per residential unit for that. And this maximum though in the PUTU can be used for any of the uses and it's a number overall that they can get to. Wow. Okay. That's a good number. All right. Mr. President, I. I just have one more question, Liz. I just want to make sure. Last one. You didn't get any letters of opposition from any neighbors? No. Thank you. Thank you. Councilman Brooks. Councilman Flynn. And famous for president. Mr. Roth, maybe you be the best person to address this in capturing the amount of value that you are over the 99 years and your capturing it in the first 30. The stadium, I'm assuming, will need some attention in years 31 through 16. Have has the team or the district thought ahead as to how to capture any value afterward? No, councilman. The the main issue is to solve for 30 years. The question is then the stadium will be 52 years old. Will will still be viable, you know, hopefully. So we can point to a couple stadiums. And I know you're a fan that have like Fenway and Wrigley in Chicago that have lasted that long, but those are the only two out of 30. So I hope my successors can keep that going. And but we'll need a new funding source at that point in time. Okay. Thank you. Because it does seem like we're going ahead to your 99 and capturing that value and bringing it into the first 30 years. Yes. Just for the West slide. Yes, it's the 99 years. And then after 30 years, you know, obviously the stadium district, I should say, the taxpayers will still own the land and the stadium. Of course. And then you also have the lots to the east and it. Right? Yes, sir. And one other question that John, maybe you could address this, Mr. Jankowski. What is the what is the plan? And forgive me if I missed it since the last time you're in committee, what is the plan for relocating the artwork, the evolution of the ball? Where is that going to end up? Sure. It was complicated. The we have dismantled the arch right now currently and it's stored in at the Rockies lot. What we're going to do next is in order to kind of solve a lot of problems for a lot of people, we had to move it because of the fire access issues that we had around the building and to keep fire all access all the way around the new complex. Since it's just a parking lot now, it's not an issue with buildings there become an issue with the fire department. And then the next thing we wanted to do was put it in the entrance way to the bridge. And so that's where it's going to locate. It's going to move about 20 feet towards the field and be the archway that would be over the bridge. And in order to accomplish that and keep the Rockies mass from coming through the bridge and not necking down too much, we're going to stretch the arch slightly. So it's the same width of the bridge. Okay. It's because it was kind of at the threshold of the bridge already, but it was in the it was on your on your property. Correct. This is actually going to be in the right of way because it's right right now it's on the property and it's right on the edge of the property. In order to get it out of the fire zone, we have to move it into the right of way. That'll be the right at the entrance to the pedestrian bridge as it goes over 20th. I'm looking at it here. Okay. Thank you very much. That's all this president. Thank you, Councilman Flynn. Seeing no other questions. The public hearing for Council Bill 1006 is closed. Are there comments by members of Council Councilman Brooks Yeah. I would love to make a comment, Mr. President, if that's okay. You go right ahead. Thank you so much. You look you look good today, by the way, I am excited about this because I feel like this is this is textbook of how you bring a community together and do it right. I think at a time when we are at a height in growth, in activity and people getting really concerned about construction activity all over my district, but especially in the center of it right here. You know, the Rockies had a plan and decided to spend the time necessary to do it right. And I just really want to thank you all for doing that. And I think the neighborhood for engaging and, you know, I think, you know, going to some of these meetings when you're not getting paid to do it is really tough and it's very complicated. And this is not just a, oh, we're going to put some condos up. This is an entertainment development and it's very complex. But talking to the neighbors, talking to the Rockies team, all the suggestions were taken in and really changed. I mean, from the ingress egress of the trucks, which is really important, this the speakers, the lights, all of these folks who've invested a lot of money in their lives right there are all supporting this. And at a time when there's a lot of controversy over Larimer Square with the same neighborhood, this neighborhood is getting behind it and supporting it. And so I'll just let you know that it was a good move and great relationships. I I'm always concerned about affordability in this city, you know, not just not just folks who are low income or or poor, but folks who are working and actually making $90,000 a year. They can't afford to buy a house anywhere around this area. And so it's a real challenge to address this issue. And I'm grateful that in 2016, we passed an ordinance to make sure that developments like this invest into the future of our city. And and a $1.1 million is a lot of money to invest in this area. And so I'm I'm excited about that. And I'm you know, you see the Rockies have presented what this would look like. And I just can't wait to see it, because if you all have not seen the design, you have to, you know, and the other thing I would say is take money for being a part of this whole process. He's not here tonight, but I think that's big. To have the owner at the meetings sitting down with neighbors is really big in his vision. He gets a lot of respect for me because sometimes the vision, the visionary doesn't want to do the hard work to get in the rooms with the people who actually live in the neighborhood. And he did it all. So hats off to everybody involved. This is a successful project. Thank you, Councilman Brooks. Seeing no other comments. I'll just add quickly. I think you do staff for the great presentation. I think this clearly meets the legal criteria for rezoning. And happy to support tonight. Madam Secretary, roll call. Black. Hi, folks. Hi.
