A COUNCIL COMMUNICATION DATE: November 4, 1996 AGENDA ITEM SUBJECT: Brookridge Shopping CenterPUD 11 a i.v INITIATED BY: J. Michael Spriggs, STAFF SOURCE: Harold J. Stitt, Brookridge Shopping Center, Inc. Planning Community Coordinator COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Previous Council Action : The subject property was annexed into the City of Englewood by Ordinance 13, Series of 1964 and was zoned B-2, Business District. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends that a Public Hearing be scheduled for December 2, 1996 to consider the proposed Brookridge Shopping Center PUD . BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED: The City Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing on October 8, 1996 on an application for Planned Unit Development (PUD) filed by J. Michael Spriggs, Brookridge Shopping Center, Inc . The applicant had filed a request for rezoning of the subject site from B-2, Business District, to PUD District. The proposed PUD will facilitate the build-out of the Brookridge Shopping Center by permitting the development of self-storage units on the under- utilized eastern portion of the shopping center site. The proposed PUD differs from the current B-2 Business District zoning of the site only in that self storage is proposed as a permitted use. During the Public Hearing, testimony in the form of a letter that had been distributed to adjacent unincorporated Arapahoe County residents was presented to the Commission. This letter was intended to represent the views of the adjacent unincorporated Arapahoe County residents. The letter presented eight concerns associated with the self-storage use proposed in the PUD. Those concerns follow, along with staff discussion on each issue: 1. Industrial Use in a residential area should not be allowed. \\ENG _ CH\SYS\DEPT\NBD\GROUP\BOARDS\PLANCOMM\COUNCIL COMM\PUD960 I CC.DOC . I~\ Printed on Recyc led Paper."-;;::; 1 The proposed PUD, which would include self-storage, ;is not an industrial use, nor is it a residential use. As the self-storage business has evolved over the past twenty years it has e become integrated into commercial and residential areas. The purpose of the PUD is to permit greater land use flexibility while controlling use impacts. This proposed PUD meets the intent. 2. A large amount of traffic will flow through Brookridge Residential Area from the storage units. An example could range from Cars, Pickups, U Haul Trucks and Moving Vans. These vehicles will access the storage units on the east driveway off of Centennial Avenue into the storage units. As you know that street is already heavy with traffic from the Burt Chevrolet Dealership on Broadway and Centennial. The service garage entrances are located on that north side of Burts. Also, there is already considerable traffic using Centennial Avenue to avoid the light on Broadway and Belleview. Institute of Transportation Engineers trip generation rates, presented by the applicant, show that self-storage generates significantly fewer trips than any other commercial use already present on- site. The rate for self-storage is 0.26 trips/1,000 sq. ft as compared to: 2.68 trips/1,000 sq. ft. for general office ; 4.93 trips/1,000 sq . ft. for retail; or 36.53 trips/1,000 sq. ft. for fast food restaurants. This proposed use will generate less traffic and less impact than present zoning . 3. I have been told from various sources that Storage Areas breed crime . No evidence has been presented to support this claim . Testimony from a police officer who owns adjacent property did not support this assertion. 4. There will be storage units on the south end of the shopping center. These storage units will back directly to the homes on the south end of Brookridge. This statement is correct: storage units will be on the south end of the shopping center. The storage units on the south side of the shopping center property will abut East Centennial A venue. Storage units on the east side of the shopping center property will be set back ten feet from the adjacent property line. All units are buffered from the residential area · with a wall and landscaping. 5. There will be unfenced storage units in back of the center that would be an easy gathering place of undesirables which would have to be paroled (sic) by the City of Englewood. Testimony from the police officer indicated that the unfenced storage area has only one point of access and therefore would not be an attractive "gathering place for undesirables." 6. Most storage lockers are built in a Business Zoning with a large grassy area on both sides of the property plus lots of grass behind and attractive landscaping in the front of the buildings. \\E NG_ CH\SYS\DEPT\NBD\GROUP\BOARDS\PLANCOMM\COUNCIL COMM\PUD960 I CC.DOC 2 The proposed PUD complies with, and in many instances exceeds, the City's landscaping requirements. It is interesting to note that the use is considered by the residents to be both e industrial and business. The PUD does not specify but rather controls impacts. 7. More than likely these storage units will be leased on a long term leases by and (sic) out of town management company. The residents will have no owner to turn to. As you know this shopping center will probably be sold once renovation is complete. For zoning and land use purposes, use should be controlled with the land. This issue will not be relevant since the property will be regulated by the PUD. The applicant has, however, stated that he will be the property manager for the proposed self-storage facility. 8. One of the biggest problems that I see is people who are purchasing property do not want a wall such as this in their back yard and it will create a large reduction in the present owners valuation. The proposed self-storage units will be residential in scale. They are one story in height whereas the maximum height permitted in the B-2 zone district is 60 feet. Adjacent property owners will see only one story structures with gable roofs rather than taller structures or the present parking lot behind the shopping center. The Assistant Fire Marshal identified two concerns with respect to Fire Department access to the proposed self-storage facility. These issues have been resolved and incorporated into the PUD Site Plan. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development application by a vote of 3 -2, with 3 absent and 1 vacancy. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed PUD will allowed for the build-out of the shopping center generating building permit fees and additional property tax.

P UD applications shall only be considered for properties greater than one- half acre. 3. PUD applications shall generally be in accordance with the Standards for Zoning or Rezoning provisions of the Englewood Municipal Code (E.M C.), Title 16, Chapter 3 of the E.M C.. C. PROCESS The Planned Unit Development zone district requires three stages for PUD project review and approval: 1) Pre-application Review; 2) PUD District Plan review and approval; and 3) PUD Site Plan review and approval. 1. Pre-application Review: Staff shall review preliminary proposals and provide written recommendations to potential applicants. No project approval is implied or granted at this early review stage. 2. PUD District Plan : The Planning and Zoning Commission shall recommend to City Council for final action on a Planned Unit Development District Plan zoning request. 3. PUD Site Plan: PUD Site Plans may be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning commission with a recommendation for final action by the City Council or may be reviewed and.final action taken by the City's Development Review Team (DRT) if such authority is granted to the DRT by the City Council as part of the PUD District Plan Approval. 4.

The DRT shall be responsible for reviewing applications. The DRT is also responsible for referrals ~s appropriate to: government agencies, utilities, neighborhood organizations, other interested or affected persons or organizations. The Planned Unit Development is a rezoning process that establishes specific zoning and site planning criteria to meet the needs of a specific development proposal that may not be accommodated within the existing zoning scheme. The PUD is composed of a District Plan which is the set of zoning regulations that will apply to the proposed development project. This District Plan is coupled with a Site Plan that specifies the general site design characteristic of the proposed development. As with any rezoning , the PUD proposal must be consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. ANALYSIS: The proposed Brookridge PUD will apply to both existing development and new dev_elopment. The District Plan and the Site Plan have been combined and submitted as one document for concurrent review, as provided for in the PUD Ordinance .

Testimony was received from staff, from the applicant, and from members of the audience. The Commission received notice of Public Hearing, and the Staff Report, which were incorpo- rated into and made a part of the record of the Public Hearing . After considering the statements of the witnesses, and reviewing the pertinent documents, the members of the City Planning and Zoning Commission made the following Findings and Con- clusions. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. THAT the matter was brought before the Commission upon application filed by J. Mi- chael Spriggs, of Brookridge Shopping Center, Inc. 2. THAT notice of Public Hearing was published in the Englewood Herald on September 26, 1996. 3. THAT the property was posted by the applicant for a minimum of 15 days, which posting included the date, time, location, and purpose of the Public Hearing. 1 4. THAT staff presented testimony regarding the Brookridge Shopping Center in general: The site is approximately 7.9 acres, is zoned B-2, Business, and is developed with a 59, 175 square foot shopping center/office complex. The proposed mini-storage use is not a permitted use in the B-2 Zone District, but can be permitted if the rezoning to PUD is approved, which process provides specificity on permitted uses and site ameni- ties. 5. THAT staff directed the attention of the Commission to a concern raised regarding fire protection, insufficient turning radii to accommodate large equipment, and the fact that some storage units could not be provided fire protection under the present configura- tion. 6. THAT staff also read into the record a communication from Ms. Gretchen Watkins setting forth several concerns regarding the proposed storage units. 7. THAT J. Michael Spriggs, applicant, presented testimony regarding his acquisition of the long-term lease on the shopping center, improvements that have been accomplished since he assumed control, further improvements he has proposed for the Center in- cluding construction of new restaurants, and the proposed mini-storage . A resident manager's unit will be included in the proposed project to oversee the mini-storage op- eration. Applicant Spriggs also testified regarding the neighborhood meeting held on October 1, and his efforts to notify members of the neighborhood of that meeting and the proposed development plan. 8. THAT applicant Spriggs discussed issues such as fencing, lighting, and landscaping with members of the Commission as these issues apply to his proposed development. 9 . THAT David Metzler, property owner at 5101 South Sherman, testified in favor of the proposed development, and did suggest that placement of landscaping be scrutinized to alleviate the possibility of "hiding" opportunities for individuals who may not have le- gitimate business in the area. 10. THAT Ms. Babette Sangster, Ms. Margaret Hoaglund, Ms. Gretchen Watkins, Ms. Ethel Womochil, and Mr. Don Hetts all presented testimony in opposition to the pro- posed PUD, citing concerns regarding increased traffic congestion, strangers coming into the neighborhood, use of storage units for storage of toxic materials and other contraband, insufficiency of landscaping , restriction of uses, and a perceived devalua- tion of property values. 11. THAT Mr . Chris Forrest testified that he represents the owner-in-fact of the shopping center , and requested an extension of time to contact the owner and prepare a position statement. 2 .. • CONCLUSIONS 1. THAT proper notice of the Public Hearing was given by posting of the property and publication of the Notice of Public Hearing in the Englewood Herald on September 26, 1996. 2. THAT J. Michael Spriggs has established his interest in the property by way of a long- term land lease on the shopping center. 3. THAT the Commission determined that a mini-or self-storage development on the south and east of the Brookridge Shopping Center is a logical, viable, use of this land, and that the mini-or self-storage units are a low-impact use. DECISION THEREFORE, it is the decision of the City Planning and Zoning Commission that the Planned Unit Development for Brookridge Shopping Center, which will allow development of mini-or self-storage units on the south and east portion of the site, should be recommended to the City Council for favorable consideration.
