ADJOURN The Estes Valley Planning Commission reserves the right to consider other appropriate items not available at the time the agenda was prepared. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 1 July 19, 2016 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall Commission: Chair Betty Hull, Commissioners Doug Klink, Nancy Hills, Steve Murphree, Sharry White, Russ Schneider, Michael Moon Attending: Chair Hull, Commissioners Murphree, Moon, Klink, White, Schneider, and Hills Also Attending: Community Development Director Randy Hunt, Planner Carrie McCool, Senior Planner Alison Chilcott, Town Attorney Greg White, Town Board Liaison Ron Norris, County Liaison Michael Whitley, Recording Secretary Karen Thompson, and Town Trustee Walker Absent: None Chair Hull called the meeting to order at 1:30 p.m. There were approximately eight people in attendance. Each Commissioner was introduced. Chair Hull explained the process for accepting public comment at today's meeting. The following minutes reflect the order of the agenda and not necessarily the chronological sequence. Chair Hull welcomed Director Hunt, who comes to Estes Park from Laramie, Wyoming, where he served the City as the Community Development Director. 1. PUBLIC COMMENT Johanna Darden/Town resident suggested the Commissioners consider making sure a developer has all funds available to take a project to completion prior to approving the projects. 2. CONSENT AGENDA Approval of minutes, June 21, 2016 Planning Commission meeting. It was moved and seconded (Schneider/Klink) to approve the consent agenda as presented and the motion passed unanimously. 3. METES & BOUNDS PARCEL 650 COMMUNITY DRIVE; ESTES VALLEY COMMUNITY CENTER LOCATION & EXTENT DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016-06 & MINOR SUBDIVISION PLAT Tom Carosello/Executive Director of the Estes Valley Recreation and Parks District (EVRPD) presented the application. The owner's representative, Chuck Jordan, was in attendance, along with Van Horn Engineering & Surveying Engineer David Bangs. He stated this project comes about as the result of a ballot item passed in November of 2015. The development review is for an approximate 65,000 square foot multi-generational community center on approximately 6.49 acres. The site is being conveyed to the EVRPD from the Estes Park School District. Since the election, consultants and architects were hired, and they have been in collaboration with Town and School District staff on designing the facility. The original square-foot cost of the center was approximately $290. The current costs are $412 per square foot, which has forced the EVRPD to put limitations on the original designs. The EVRPD will be staying within their budget to construct the proposed community center. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 2 July 19, 2016 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall Planner McCool reviewed the staff report. The site is located on the Estes Park Schools campus, surrounded by Stanley Park. The entire site is 43.5 areas. The applicant would like to create two lots to accommodate the proposed community center and the existing school building site. Proposed Lot 1 would accommodate the existing schools (37.86 acres), and Lot 2 would accommodate the Community Center (6.49 acres). Access to the site is from Manford Avenue and Community Drive. This is a Location and Extent Development Plan review, which gives the Commissioners the location and scope of the development plan. Key review criteria is compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC). Additionally, a Minor Subdivision Plat is requested to create two parcels of record from one existing parcel. Staff and the applicant have worked closely together to work through issues. The application was routed to all affected agencies and adjacent property owners, and a legal notice was published in the local newspaper. All agency comments have been addressed by the applicant and can be taken care of during the building permit process. Planner McCool stated there are three key issues: • Maximum lot coverage, where 71.7% is proposed, and the maximum allowed is 65%. The applicant is requesting a minor modification from the EVDC to allow the 71.7%. The Estes Valley Planning Commission (EVDC) has the authority to grant a minor modification to allow the proposed increase in lot coverage percentage. The Commission must find that the modification advances the goals and purposes of the EVDC, or relieve some practical difficulty in developing the site. Staff finds that allowing the 6.7% over the allowable limit would relieve difficulties and promote a more environmentally sustainable project. Planner McCool stated there were many design challenges, including but not limited to incorporating the existing aquatic facility into the design of the structure. • Building site, orientation, and materials requirements, where the applicant is requesting a minor modification to allow the main entrance of the community center front Manford Avenue. The EVDC requires the main entrance of all buildings in the CO—Commercial Outlying zone district be oriented to the front property line and to the maximum extent feasible long, flat or blank walls facing the street should be avoided. The front property line is along Community Drive, and the applicant prefers the main entrance front Manford Avenue. The applicant has proposed enhanced treatment to the building along Community Drive which would result in less visual impact (building materials, facade changes, windows, etc.). The existing aquatic center does not front Community Drive. • Screening and minimizing visual impact of rooftop mechanical equipment. The applicant mentioned design changes throughout the review process, and the final design for the rooftop mechanical equipment and screening of such has not been finalized. The applicant requested to defer that submittal to a later date to be determined. Therefore, staff has included a condition of approval for the rooftop screening. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 3 July 19, 2016 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall Staff finds the proposed development advances several adopted Community-wide policies, including community design, growth management, mobility and circulation, as well as economics. Planner McCool discussed the subdivision design standards. The EVDC states sidewalks on both sides of the street may be required if it is determined there are significant pedestrian uses, unless there are unusual topographical conditions. Sidewalks in this area get heavy use, as the schools are located nearby. It was important to look at code requirements and design challenges and how the applicant has addressed those challenges. The Commissioners can determine if sidewalks are required on both sides. The application has proposed sidewalks along Community Drive, but not on Manford Avenue. There are crosswalks directing pedestrian traffic to the north side of Manford Avenue, where sidewalks already exist. Planner McCool stated the drainage structure is proposed for the northwest corner of the site along Community Drive, which limits space for a sidewalk on Manford Avenue. The applicant is requesting more internal parking lot configurations to provide pedestrian access. Again, the design challenges of incorporating the existing aquatic center make it unfeasible to construct a sidewalk along Manford. Planner McCool stated adequate public services and facilities are available to serve the development. Approval of the minor subdivision would not be detrimental to the public welfare, injurious to other properties in the neighborhood, nor in conflict with the purposes and objectives of the EVDC. Planner McCool stated staff is recommending approval of the Location and Extent Development Plan, with the condition regarding the rooftop screening of mechanical equipment. Staff is requesting the condition be met within 30 days of the Planning Commission decision. Staff and Commission Discussion Commissioner Moon was concerned about the sidewalk issue. As a member of the Police Auxiliary Unit, he assists students crossing the streets and is concerned for their safety. He stated a better effort should have been made to relocate the detention pond in order to create sidewalks on Manford Avenue. Applicant and Staff Discussion David Bangs/applicant engineer stated there are three main connection points to the existing public infrastructure: (1) on the west side of the proposed community center that crosses at the intersection of Graves Avenue and Community Drive, where an upgraded crosswalk will be constructed; (2) at the northwest corner of the site which crosses Manford Avenue to existing sidewalk on the north side, heading west; (3) to the east, existing connections with the schools will be improved along the north side of Manford Avenue. The applicant feels these measures are adequate to getting pedestrians to existing sidewalks. There is no sidewalk proposed along the south side of Manford Avenue. The improved crosswalk at Graves Avenue and Community Drive will make the crosswalks line up perpendicular with the intersection, rather than the current angled design. Vehicular congestion will be greatly reduced with the reconfiguration of vehicle access routes. Mr. Bangs stated it would not be practical to relocate the drainage structure as there is a large vault in that area containing the mechanical equipment for the school's sprinkler systems. Commissioner Hills stated the peak traffic time for the community center will be RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 4 July 19, 2016 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall between 5:30 and 9 a.m., which is the same time students will be arriving to the schools. Many residents visit the existing health clubs during these early morning hours. She, too, was concerned about student safety as it related to sidewalks and traffic. Mr. Bangs stated the traffic study conducted by Delich Associates was valid and credible. Commissioner Klink stated the EVDC requires sidewalks and trails in places where there is very little pedestrian traffic, and now they are being asked to waive the standard for sidewalks in a very high traffic area. Chuck Jordan/project architect explained the school district has been a part of the design process, and did not request a sidewalk be placed on the south side of Manford Avenue. Commissioner Moon stated the situation at Graves and Community Drive would be much better, but thought asking students to cross an intersection twice is not acceptable when the addition of a sidewalk would eliminate one of the crossings. Other Commissioner comments included, but were not limited to: concern that the ballot stated the proposed community center could be used as an evacuation center during emergencies, but would be deficient in that area with the current plans to have only a caterer's kitchen; while a commercial kitchen is not part of the current plan, there are commercial kitchens located within the schools; impervious coverage is less than originally planned because the footprint has been slightly reduced, and some landscape islands in the parking lots have been redesigned to increase the amount of parking available; the development review pertains to the footprint of the building and the minor subdivision plat, not the specific uses of the proposed building. Mr. Bangs requested to reserve the right to provide closing comments, if needed. Public Comment Johanna Darden/Town resident stated the project does not meet the goals of the comprehensive Plan or the needs of the community. What was presented to the community prior to the vote for the bond is quite different than what is being proposed. A community center should be more than a recreation center. The senior center services that were proposed earlier have been reduced. She attended many meetings regarding this community center, and the current proposal is nothing like what the people voted for. Public comment closed. Staff and Commission Discussion Commissioner Hills reiterated her concern regarding the vehicle traffic early in the morning, and the safety concern for students. She was in favor of requiring sidewalks along Manford Avenue. It was moved (White) to continue the application to allow the applicant time to work on the traffic and sidewalk issues. The motion did not receive a second. Director Carosello stated the sidewalk could be worked in to the design without continuing the meeting and delaying the EVPC decision. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 5 July 19, 2016 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall Town Attorney White stated conditions could be placed regarding sidewalks and parking. The applicant is under a very fast track and is up against some very tight deadlines. If the review of the application is continued there is a very good chance the project would die. Staff Findings 1. The application is consistent with the policies, goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Adequate services and facilities are available to serve the development, if revised to comply with recommended conditions of approval. 3. If revised to comply with the recommended condition of approval, the applications will comply with applicable sections of the Estes Valley Development Code, as described in the staff report. 4. The requested Minor Modification to Maximum Lot Coverage requirements in §4.4, Table 4-5 of the EVDC relieves practical difficulties in developing the site. 5. The requested Minor Modification to the Building Orientation requirement in §4.4D, Additional Zoning District Standards of the EVDC relieves practical difficulties in developing the site and results in less visual impact while ensuring the character of the area is maintained. 6. Approval of the proposed Minor Subdivision will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare, injurious to other property in the neighborhood, or in conflict with the purposes and objectives of this Code. 7. The Planning Commission is the Decision-Making Body for the Location and Extent Development Plan and the Recommending Body for the Minor Subdivision Plat application. 8. Town Board of Trustees is the Decision-Making Body for the Minor Subdivision Plat application. Conditions of Approval 1. The applicant shall submit an amended Elevation Plan that identifies the final location of rooftop mechanical equipment and screening pursuant to EVDC §7.13 within thirty (30) days of Planning Commission approval. 2. The applicant shall install sidewalks on the south side of Manford Avenue from the intersection of Community Drive and Manford Avenue at the east end, to the intersection of Community Drive and Manford Avenue at the west end of the property. It was moved and seconded (Moon/Schneider) to recommend approval with the findings and condition recommended by staff, with the addition of Condition #2 by the Commission and the motion passed 6-1 with Chair Hull voting against. Commissioner comments included: most traffic will be between 5:30 and 9 a.m.; adding the sidewalk would reduce the number of crossings required from the middle and high schools from three to one; eliminating multiple crossings would improve student safety. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 6 July 19, 2016 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 4. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ESTES VALLEY DEVELOPMENT CODE REGARDING CONCURRENT REVIEW — TIMING OF BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT REVIEW Senior Planner Chilcott reviewed the staff report. She stated in 2014 the Town Board and County Commission amended the EVDC to require that in all cases, variance approvals must be the last entitlement approval obtained. Specifically, the code states "The Community Development Director shall require that BOA review occur after final action on related development applications by the Decision-Making Body..." This amendment was put in place in direct response to a specific development application. At that time, Trustees directed staff to revisit the code amendment during the next 18-24 months. In that time, Staff has found the code amendment to have more disadvantages than advantages. Specifically, the requirement creates longer review times for non-complex or non-controversial projects. For complex projects, there is additional financial burden on the applicant for engineering and design expenses that could be reduced if the BOA review occurred earlier on in the review process. Senior Planner Chilcott stated staff recommends the current code be revised to allow the applicant to request a particular processing schedule for their application, and forthe Community Development Director to have the authority to review and approved said schedule. This would provide more flexibility for the Director in regards to scheduling application reviews. This direction was brought forward at the direction Interim Director Karen Cumbo. The Planning Commission is the Recommending Body to both the Town Board and County Commission. Staff and Commission Discussion There was discussion about whether certain application processes could be circumvented if this code amendment passed. There was additional discussion about the definition of "concurrent". It was stated there are considerable costs involved in the design of projects, and if the BOA is the last of the review processes and the variance is denied, the applicant would have spent a significant amount on the project without a positive outcome. If the BOA could be one of first to review the project, those expenses could be minimized. Other comments included: this would be putting the code back the way it was; there is no problem with giving authority to the Community Development Director, but would like to see criteria that defines when the Community Development Director makes the decision for which process. This explanation of authority could be through a written policy. Director Hunt suggested having a known quantity for the applicant, e.g. a standard process with a calendar that allows the public, staff, and Board members to know if an application is filed on a certain date and is complete, it will reach certain milestones on certain dates. He would like to make sure that is transparent for the public and applicants. A calendar could be provided to Commissioners for review. A situation where this process would be relevant is when a potential buyer has a contract on a property, and the ability to have the variance heard at the beginning of the process would assist in determining whether or not the property could be developed as planned. Commissioner Klink suggested removing the text "whenever possible" from the proposed code language to add clarity to the amendment. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 7 July 19, 2016 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall Public Comment Johanna Darden/town resident stated the reason the BOA was asked to make their decision after the Planning Commission was for a very good reason, when the proposed performing arts center height variance was being determined. She was uncomfortable with having the BOA being the first decision-making body on a major project. All the facts should be considered on the project. She suggested not making a recommendation on this item today to allow time for additional thought on timing. She stated projects in the Estes Valley tend to be pushed through very fast. It was moved and seconded (Klink/Hills) to recommend approval of the proposed code amendment to the Town Board and County Commission as presented by staff, with the removal of the text "whenever possible" in addition to the other proposed text deletions and the motion passed unanimously. 5. REPORTS A. Estes Valley Board of Adjustment 1. Planner Chilcott reported the Maxwell Inn and Newberg Residence variances were approved July 12, 2016 B. Estes Park Town Board 1. Planner Chilcott reported the Annexation Request for Mountain Meadow Subdivision was continued to August 9, 2016 to allow staff and the applicant to work out an agreement for phasing the infrastructure improvements. C. Larimer County Board of Commissioners 1. Commissioner White stated the Planning Commissioners received a letter from Town Administrator Lancaster on July 1, 2016 regarding Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). It was brought to the attention of the Larimer County Board of Commissioners that workforce housing was needed due to the anticipated closing of Highway 34 between Loveland and Estes Park. Commissioner Donnelly and Commissioner Johnson did not support pursuing the topic of ADUs at this time. Assistant Town Administrator Machalek stated there is hope to meet with the County Commissioners to discuss ADUs and workforce housing in regards to the highway closure. There has not been any formal discussion about proposed code amendments. Administrator Lancaster provided advance information to the Planning Commissioners. Commissioner White stated she was concerned about the County Commissioner's comments regarding the Housing Summit and ADUs and processes. ATA Machalek stated at some point, there will be a public meeting regarding these items, and they will be noticed so the public is aware of them. Town Board Liaison Ron Norris thanked Commissioner White for bringing up the issue. This is a case where some concurrent review and communication would be prudent, and recommended ATA Machalek provide some background information to Town Trustees in his week-end report to help the Trustees get up to speed on this issue. RECORD OF rnOCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 8 July 19, 2016 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall D. Senior Planner Chilcott reported staff is continuing to work on an agreement with Winter and Associates to perform the Downtown Plan. Staff received a revised scope and budget late last week and will determine how to move forward. E. Environmental Planner Tina Kurtz reported she is now the Floodplain Manager for the Town of Estes Park. Regarding floodplain mapping, we are waiting for peer reviews of the hydrology study to be completed. As of today, no dates have changed. There was brief discussion about how mapping is related to bridge replacement. Ms. Kurtz stated the map creators will base their maps on existing conditions. Any projects taking place after those initial mapping studies can be addressed as needed. Changes can also be made after floodplain maps are formally adopted. The state has control over the mapping process. If approved projects are completed after the mapping is done, changes can be made to the maps to incorporate the changes. Town Attorney White stated the Environmental Assessment for the Loop project included the area from Riverside Drive downstream to Highway 36. This area may be further studied for possible channel widening. There being no further business, Chair Hull adjourned the meeting at 2:53 p.m. Betty Hull, Chair Karen Thompson, Recording Secretary SPECIAL REVIEW EXAMPLES IN OTHER COMMUNITIES City of Greeley. Colorado Uses by Special Review — Uses by special review (designated by "S" in the Table of Principal Land Uses) possess characteristics .that require a public hearing to determine if the uses have the potential to adversely affect other land uses, transportation systems, public facilities or the like in the surrounding neighborhood. Decisions on use by special review requests shall be made by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission may require conditions of approval necessary to eliminate, or mitigate to an acceptable level, any potentially adverse effects of the proposed use by special review. (See the illustration below for a description of the use by special review process.) 18.20.070 - Use by special review criteria. (a) Uses by special review are independent uses or accessory to principal uses which can be conducted in a manner that is not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or detrimental to the character of the surrounding area, but can be of such a nature as to require public review. The following criteria shall be used to evaluate use by special review requests, along with the criteria and requirements in Subsections (b) and (c) and design review standards in Chapter 18.46: (1) The proposed use shall be consistent with the Land Use Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan; (2) The location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed use shall be compatible with the existing and future land uses within the general area in which the proposed use is to be located and will not create significant noise, traffic or other conditions or situations that may be objectionable or detrimental to other permitted uses in the vicinity. Reasonable conditions may be placed on uses by special review to protect the public health, safety and welfare by mitigating impacts to achieve compatibility and complementary design, especially where a nonresidential use is located adjacent to a residential use; (3) The site shall be physically suitable for the type and intensity of the proposed land use; (4) The proposed land use shall not adversely affect traffic flow or parking in the neighborhood; and (5) The location of other approved uses by special review in the neighborhood shall be determined so that a concentration and/or cumulative effect of such uses can be evaluated. (b) Use by special review applications shall also be reviewed to ensure that all of the applicable development standards of Chapter 18.38, Zoning District Development Standards, have been met, as well as any applicable overlay district provisions. (c) In addition to those criteria and requirements listed in Subsections (a) and (b), special review applications shall meet all applicable General Performance Standards found in Chapter 18,40, Parking Standards in Chapter 18.42, Landscaping and Buffering Standards in Chapter 18.44, all applicable Design Review Performance Standards in Chapter 18.46 and if applicable, Overlay Districts in Chapter 18.34, Areas of Ecological Significance in Chapter 18.48, Accessory and Temporary Uses, Hillside Standards in Chapter 18.50 and Structures and Buildings in Chapter 18.52. (d) Applications for use by special review for oil and gas operations shall also be subject to the provisions of Chapter 18.56, Oil and Gas Operations 18.20.100 - Revocation of permit. (a) Use by special review approval may be revoked by the Planning Commission upon a finding of any one (1) or more of the following grounds: (1) That the use by special review was obtained by misrepresentation or fraud; or (2) That one (1) or more of the conditions upon which such approval was granted is not currently met. (b) The Planning Commission snail hold a public hearing to consider revocation of the use by special review permit. Notice of the hearing shall be given in accordance with Chapter 18.18, Notice. The applicant or property owner to whom the use by special review has been issued shall be notified of the hearing and shall have an opportunity to present information regarding the use by special review at the hearing. The Commission may take action to revoke the use by special review approval after conducting the public hearing. The applicant shall be notified in writing of the Commission's decision. Such decision shall be considered final, unless appealed under the provisions of Chapter 18.24, Appeals. (Ord. 65, 2002 §1; Ord. 27, 1998 §1) City of Boulder. Colorado 4-600 Uses Permitted by Special Review and Limited Impact Special Review A land use designated as a special use in a zoning district is one that — because of its inherent nature, extent and external effects — may be allowed to establish if subject to Special Review to assure the use is located, designed, and operated in harmony with neighboring development and the surrounding area and does not adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare. The purpose of the review process is to determine the compatibility of the use with the site and surrounding land and uses and the adequacy of services. Public review is necessary because the effect of a special use on the surrounding environment cannot be determined adequately in advance of the use being proposed for a particular location. During the review process, the county considers location, design, configuration, intensity, and impacts by comparing the proposal to the code criteria, intergovernmental agreements, established hazard areas, parcel specific conditions, site context and any other applicable regulations to assure that the use can operate in a sustainable way with minimal danger or impact to the users, the natural environment, or the developed environment. A. A use permitted by Special Review may be established in a zoning district only upon approval of the Board, after review by the Planning Commission, subject to conditions and mitigation measures. B. A use permitted through Limited Impact Special Review may be established in a zoning district only upon approval of the Board subject to conditions and mitigation measures. 4-601 Review Criteria A. A use will be permitted by Special Review or Limited Impact Special Review only if the Board finds that the proposed use meets the following criteria as applicable: 1. Except as otherwise noted, the use will comply with the minimum zoning requirements of the zoning district in which the use is to be established, and will also comply with all other applicable requirements; 2. The use will be compatible with the surrounding area. In determining compatibility, the Board should consider the location of structures and other improvements on the site; the size, height and massing of the structures; the number and arrangement of structures; the design of structures and other site features; the proposed removal or addition of vegetation; the extent of site disturbance, including, but not limited to, any grading and changes to natural topography; and the nature and intensity of the activities that will take place on the site. In determining the surrounding area, the Board should consider the unique location and environment of the proposed use; assess the relevant area that the use is expected to impact; and take note of important features in the area including, but not limited to, scenic vistas, historic townsites and rural communities, mountainous terrain, agricultural lands and activities, sensitive environmental areas, and the characteristics of nearby development and neighborhoods; 3. The use will be in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan; 4. The use will not result in an over-intensive use of land or excessive depletion of natural resources. In evaluating the intensity of the use, the Board should consider the extent of the proposed development in relation to parcel size and the natural landscape/topography; the area of impermeable surface; the amount of blasting, grading, or other alteration of the natural topography; the elimination or disruption of agricultural lands; the effect on significant natural areas and environmental resources; the disturbance of plant and animal habitat, and wildlife migration corridors; the relationship of the proposed development to natural hazards; and available mitigation measures such as the preservation of open lands, the addition or restoration of natural features and screening, the reduction or rearrangement of structures and land disturbance, and the use of sustainable construction techniques, resource use, and transportation management; 5. The use will not have a material adverse effect on community capital improvement programs; 6. The use will not require a level of community facilities and services greater than that which is available; 7. The use will support a multimodal transportation system and not result in significant negative impacts to the transportation system or traffic hazards; 8. The use will not cause significant air, odor, water, or noise pollution; 9. The use will be adequately buffered or screened to mitigate any undue visual impacts of the use; 10. The use will not otherwise be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the present or future inhabitants of Boulder County; and 11. The use will establish an appropriate balance between current and future economic, environmental, and societal needs by minimizing the consumption and inefficient use of energy, materiais, minerais, water, land, and other finite resources. 12. The use will not result in unreasonable risk of harm to people or property — both onsite and in the surrounding area from natural hazards. Development or activity associated with the use must avoid natural hazards, including those on the subject property and those originating off-site with a reasonable likelihood of affecting the subject property. Natural hazards include, without limitation, expansive soils or claystone, subsiding soils, soil creep areas, or questionable soils where the safe-sustaining power of the soils is in doubt; landslides, mudslides, mudfalls, debris fans, unstable slopes, and rockfalls; flash flooding corridors, alluvial fans, floodways, floodplains, and flood-prone areas; and avalanche corridors; all as identified in the Comprehensive Plan Geologic Hazard and Constraint Areas Map or through the Special Review or Limited Impact Special Review process using the best available information. Best available information includes, without limitation, updated topographic or geologic data, Colorado Geologic Survey landslide or earth/debris flow data, interim floodplain mapping data, and creek planning studies. B. If the proposed use is approved or conditionally approved, the Board may impose such conditions and safeguards to insure compliance with the requirements, standards, and conditions of this Section 4-600. Where development or activity associated with the proposed use cannot completely avoid one or more natural hazard, whether because no other site on the subject property can be reasonably designated or developed for the use or because the proposed site is the best location due to the need to avoid or minimize significant adverse impacts under other applicable review criteria, the use may be conditionally approved only if one or more measures will satisfactorily mitigate all significant natural hazard risk posed by the proposed use to the subject property and to the surrounding area. The violation of any condition, safeguard, or commitment of record shall be sufficient grounds for revocation of the Special Review approval by the Board, after a public hearing held in accordance with provisions of Paragraph 3-205(C). C. An application for a use by Special Review shall include a development agreement which must be submitted and approved by the Board. 4-138 Boulder County Land Use Code • April 2, 2015 Article 4 • 4-602 Special Provisions D. Where appropriate, in order to enable the proposed use to meet the standards set forth in (A) above, the Board may require the dedication of a perpetual conservation easement upon so much of the site as may be determined necessary to mitigate impacts of special uses. STATE CHILD CARE REGULATIONS A family child care home is required to be licensed when care is provided to two or more unrelated children at any one time. A child care center is required to be licensed when 5 or more children are in care at any one time. A child care license is not required for: • A special school or class in which more than 75 percent of the time that children are present is spent in religious instruction. Religious instruction is defined to include such developmentally appropriate children's activities as worship, singing religious songs, listening to religious stories, learning and practicing religious cultural activities, and participating in religious celebrations. Colorado law and state regulations do not exclude child care programs from licensing just because traditional religious values or philosophy are an integral part of the child care program.

This allows for the care of older children with special needs. Each individual provider will determine the age range of children that he/she will enroll in the provider's child care home. The providers own birth, adopted, step or foster children twelve (12) years of age and older do not count in the provider's license capacity. The capacity for a Family Child Care Home (generally referred to within these rules as "the home") is determined by the amount of indoor and outdoor space designated for child care, as well as the following factors. A. A "Family Child Care Home" (FCCH) is a type of family care home that provides less than twenty- four (24) hour care at any time for two (2) or more children that are unrelated to each other or the provider, and are cared for in the provider's place of residence.

Care also may be provided for no more than two (2) additional children of school age attending full-day school. School-age children include children six (6) years of age and older who are enrolled in the first grade or above. A child enrolled in a kindergarten program is not considered a school-age child until the child begins attending kindergarten a year before they enter first grade. 2, Residents of the home under twelve (12) years of age who are on the premises and all children on the premises for supervision are counted against the approved capacity, except where specifically indicated otherwise. Residents of the home include, but are not limited to, birth, adopted, step or foster children of the provider. C. A three (3) under two (2) license is a type of license that allows a provider to care for six (6) children from birth to eighteen (18) years of age with no more than three (3) children under two (2) years of age, with no more than two (2) of the three (3) children under twelve (12) months; the capacity includes the provider's own children under twelve (12) years of age. This license type may be approved with the following conditions: 1. The licensee has held a permanent license to operate a family child care home for at least two (2) years in Colorado immediately prior to the issuance of the license that would authorize the care of three (3) children under two (2) years of age; and, 111 CODE OF COLORADO REGULATIONS 12 CCR 2509-8 Social Services Rules 2. The licensee has completed the State Department approved Expanding Quality Infant/Toddler course of training; and, 3. in the past two years, the licensee has had no substantiated complaints with a severity level of one (1) to three (3), consistent or willful substantiated rule violations of ratio, supervision, safety, or injury to a child observed during any licensing visit, or adverse licensing action. 4. Care of additional children of school age is not authorized; and, 5. Licensees issued a three (3) children under two (2) years of age license are approved for both the three (3) under two (2) and the regular license capacities and may switch between the two (2) capacities without notifying the State Department as long as they are in compliance with all licensing rules. D. An infant/toddler license is a type of family care home that provides less than twenty-four (24) hour care only for children who are between birth and three (3) years old. This license type may be approved with the following conditions: 1. if there is one (1) provider, there may be a maximum of four (4) children, with no more than two (2) of the four (4) children under twelve (12) months of age, including the provider's own children.

STAFF OBJECTIVE: 1. Review for compliance with the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC); and 2. Provide a recommendation to the Planning Commission. PLANNING COMMISSION OBJECTIVE: 1. Review for compliance with the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC); and 2. Conduct a public hearing to consider applicants' testimony, public comment, and Town staff's findings and recommendations. LOCATION: 995 Dry Gulch Road and 1950 Red Tail Hawk Drive. OWNER/APPLICANT: Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley, Inc. Plan De Salud Del Valley, Inc. CONSULTANT/ENGINEER: Primary Contact: Amy Plummer, Van Horn Engineering STAFF CONTACT: Carrie McCool, Planner REPORT SUMMARY: The Neighborhood Subdivision, which is almost completely built out, was originally platted and approved in 2005 with the intent that housing would be developed to accommodate local affordable housing needs of the community. The Salud Clinic, located at the intersection of Dry Gulch Road and Red Tail Hawk Drive (existing Lot 2) is in need of additional parking to accommodate increased demand for affordable health care services by local residents. Lot 1 is currently vacant. Access to the proposed single family lots lA and 113 would be accommodated via a shared driveway accessed from Gray Hawk Court. ';she Salud Clinic is proposing a second access off of Red Tail Hawk Drive to serve the new parking lot just west of the existing Salud alnic access. Enhancements to the site include the construction of a pubiic skiewalk along Red T& Hawk Drive, and the addition of landscaping along that street frontage. The applicant has received conditional Town Board approval of two requests: 1) replat portions of Lot 1 of the Neighborhood Subdivision to build two affordable single-family residences and a 29-space parking lot to meet the increased needs of the Salud Clinic as they expand their services to the community, and 2) rezone that portion of Lot 1 (for proposed Lots 1A and 1B) from 0 (Office) to R-1 (Single-Family Residential) for Habitat for Humanity housing resulting in two ow-income families provided the opportunity to work with labor of volunteers and partner families to build efficient modest-sized homes, and qualify for no-profit loans to purchase the habitat houses over time. The rezoning approval is contingent upon approval of a development plan by the Estes Valley Planning Commission. it is through this development plan application, the applicant proposes to build two affordable single- family residences for Habitat for Humanity housing and provide 29 parking spaces in addition to the 49 current spaces at the Salud Clinic. Staff reviewed the application for compliance with the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) and finds the application wEl comply with applicable reguiations once the conditions of approval are addressed. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the application, subject to conditions described in the staff report.

All written public comments received for this application package have been posted on the town's website at vvww.estes.oro/currentapplications and will be summarized in the staff presentation. STAFF REVIEW: The following staff review evaluates all aspects of the proposed development plan to ensure compliance with the zoning standards and provisions of the EVDC, while encouraging quality development in the Estes Valley reflective of the goals, policies and objectives found in the Comprehensive Plan as follows: ZONING DISTRICTS, CHAPTER 4 of the EVDC (§4.3 and §4.4) Use, Density and Dimensional Standards Use Two uses are proposed: Office (Existing Salud Clinic and associated parking) and Single-Family Residential (two Habitat for Humanity homes). Both uses are Permitted by Right in their respective zone districts of 0 (Office) and R-1 (Single-Family Residential). Lot Coverage Lot coverage represents those parts of the site that are covered by development that prevents or impedes the passage or absorption of stormwater (e.g. buildings, sidewalk streets). The Development Plan depicts less than 50% lot coverage for Lots 1A and 1B, which complies with the maximum standard of 50% for residential development. In regards to the non-residential component of the proposal, the Development Plan proposes 56% lot coverage for Lot 2A (includes the Salud building, existing and proposed parking lots), which exceeds the maximum standard of 50% for non-residential uses. However, the current lot coverage for Lot 2 is 62%. Therefore, this proposed development is increasing compliance with this standard. The applicant has requested a waiver from this standard. Considering the minor modification from the standard would advance the goals and purposes of this Code, not exceed the maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) deviation from the zone district standards, result in less visual impact of parking adjacent to Red Tail Hawk Drive and relieve practical difficulties in developing the site, the EVPC has the authority to approve 56% coverage for this project approval. Minimum Lot Size As proposed, Lot 1A will be 7,306 square feet and Lot 1B will be 7,535 square feet. With the zoning amendment to change proposed Lots IA and 1J Estes Valley Planning Commission, August 16, 2016 Page 5 of 10 Habitat for Humanity/Salud Clinic Development Plan 1B from 0 (Office) to R-1 (Single-Family Residential), both lots would comply with the minimum single family residential lot size requirement of 5,000 square feet. The proposed, Lot 2A will increase in size to 43,219 square feet which is well over the 15,000 square foot minimum lot size requirement in the 0 (Office) zone district. Setbacks This proposal provides platted building envelopes tor the residential structures on Lots 1A and 1B, which meet all setback requirements set forth in the R-1 zone district. The Salud Clinic is not proposing any development changes that require evaluation of setbacks aside from the landscape buffer standards discussed in the Landscaping and Buffers section of this report. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, CHAPTER 7 of the EVDC Grading and Site Disturbance Standards (EVDC §7.2) The grading plan demonstrates compliance with general grading standards such as limits on raising/lower natural grade and design of stormwater basins. The existing slope presents challenges when planning the site layout. The applicant made efforts to avoid steep slopes to the most extent feasible. Due to topography, the development plan does require retaining walls on some portions of the site, particularly along the shared driveway for Lots 1A and 1B as proposed. Landscaping and Buffers (§7.5) Perimeter landscaping is required and proposed on the north side of the parking lot along Red Tail Hawk Drive. The applicants have been advised and agreed to ensure plantings do not interfere with existing utilities on site. As such, a note has been included on the Preliminary Resubdivision Plan/Development Plan to keep trees at least 5-feet from utility lines. The site has areas of steep topography that provides natural screening between the existing parking area for the Salud Clinic on Lot 2 along the east side of Lot 1B as proposed. Due to the proposed zone district boundary that occurs along the southerly side of the proposed Salud parking lot, a landscaped buffer consisting of eight (8) evergreen trees and eleven (11) shrubs per every 100 feet is required between a commercial district and a residential district. The applicant has submitted a revised landscape plan that depicts additional buffering; however, it is solely on the residential Lot 1B. Staff recommends the dedication of a landscape easement on Lot 1B to ensure the installation and maintenance of the required landscape buffering be the responsibility of the owners of Lot 2A. A condition of approval is provided for the Commissions' consideration. Exterior Lighting (EVDC §7.9) The new parking lot area on proposed Lot 2A, consists of four (4) new parking lot light poles that are consistent with the existing parking lot Estes Valley Planning Commission, August 16, 2016 Page 6 of 10 Habitat for Humanity/Salud Clinic Development Plan lighting at the Salud Clinic. Although a note is included on the Development Plan stating that "new light posts will comply with the EVDC," the note should be revised to state that all lighting shall comply with the EVDC lighting requirements to ensure that measures to reduce impacts on the adjacent residential uses to the south will be maintained. Staff has provided a condition of approval for the Commissions' consideration. Off-Street Parking and Loading (EVDC §7.11) The Salud Clinic has 49 parking spaces on their existing site. The applicant has submitted a Parking Study that justifies the need for additional parking which stems from documented use of the existing parking lot as well as projected patient and staff parking needs as services are expanded. The Public Works Department noted driveway distance concerns from the proposed access at Red Tail Hawk Drive to the Salud Clinic driveway. The applicant has adequately addressed the Public Works Departments concern by revising the plans to ensure there is at least 150-foot spacing between the driveways. There were also concerns about the distance between the access for proposed Lots 1A and 1B. The revised plans depict 74-feet between the proposed access at Gray Hawk Court to the intersection of Crabapple Lane. As such, the driveway distance spacing concerns from Public Works has been adequately addressed. Adequate Public Facilities (EVDC §7.12) Adequate services and facilities are available to serve the development. The design for public facilities will be finalized with construction plans. Sewer Private lateral sewer mains will be extended to serve this development. The Upper Thompson Sanitation District did not have notable concerns with the proposal. Water and Electric Service Adequate water and electric service are available to serve the site. There were no concerns expressed by the Estes Park Utilities Department. Drainage. The applicant submitted a Stormwater Management memo prepared by a registered Engineer with respect to proposed drainage and coordination with the original drainage report for the Neighborhood Subdivision dated July, 2005. A Drainage Plan is required in order to demonstrate compliance with the 2005 report as well as to evaluate the new drainage infrastructure, sizing of proposed swales and inlets, confirm that developed runoff will not negatively impact the Salud Parking lot and that g Estes Valley Planning Commission, August 16, 2016 Page 7 of 10 Habitat for Humanity/Salud Clinic Development Plan historical drainage patterns will be maintained. Staff has provided a recommended condition of approval accordingly. Fire Protection. The Estes Valley Fire Protection District reviewed the submitted materials describing the proposed project and expressed no concerns regarding the plans. ESTES VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Chapter Six of the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan includes Community- Wide Policies that address issues such as land use, community design, scenic and environmental quality and economics. Staff finds the proposed development advances several adopted Community-Wide Policies, including: • 5.1 Encourage a variety of housing types and price ranges. • 5.2 Encourage housing for permanent residents of all sectors of the community that is integrated into and dispersed throughout existing neighborhoods. • 5.10 Establish a linkage between new development and the provision of affordable housing. • 2.2 Locate and design buildings to fit the land. STAFF FINDINGS: Based on the foregoing, staff finds: 1. The application is consistent with the policies, goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Adequate services and facilities are available to serve the development. 3. The minor modification to exceed the maximum lot coverage standard from 50% to 56% on Lot 2A would advance the goals and purposes of this Code, not exceed the maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) deviation from the zone district standards, result in less visual impact of parking adjacent to Red Tail Hawk Drive and relieve practical difficulties in developing the site. 4. If revised to comply with recommended conditions of approval, the application will comply with applicable sections of the Estes Valley Development Code, as described in the staff report. 5. The Planning Commission is the Decision-Making Body for the proposed Development Plan. g Estes Valley Planning Commission, August 16, 2016 Page 8 of 10 Habitat for Humanity/Salud Clinic Development Plan RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Development Plan, subject to the following conditions: 1.

April 27, 2016 Attn: Town of Estes Park Community Development Staff Subj: Estes Park Salud Center Parking Needs This is a request for a waiver of the Town's 50% maximum coverage of a lot by impervious surfaces, The transfer of property from Habitat to Salud and the subsequent development of this property by Salud for additional Salud parking will result in impervious coverage of the expanded Salud lot greater than 50%. This is a request to waive this 50% requirement. Attached please find an analysis of the current parking spaces available for Salud staff and patients (and Summit Stone) at the Salud Family Health Center on Red Tail Hawk Drive. In summary, there are as few as thirteen spaces available to patients of Salud and Summit Stone on those days when snow must cleared from the parking lot and moved to "out-of-the way" parking spaces. This thirteen spaces must accommodate the patients of ten providers at Salud and Summit Stone (as weil as voiunteer Salud providers) each with overlapping schedules. With number of providers, there can easily be more that thirteen patients receiving services or waiting to receive services at any one time. Additionally, Estes Park Salud is expanding its services via a $750,000 grant and will be offering radiology services including X-ray and ultra- sound. This will result in an increase in patient traffic for the radiology services. The proposed parking lot (via the purchase of land from Habitat and its subsequent development as additional parking for Salud and Summit Stone) is needed to accommodate the current patient traffic as well as the anticipated increases in staff and patient traffic. Please contact Stephanie Whitfield, Business Manager for any additional clarification a swhitfieldPsaludclinic.ore Thanks you for your consideration. Eileen M.

(H4H) owns Lot 1, Block 3 of The Neighborhood Subdivision with an area of 0.827 acres and Plan de Salud Del Valley Inc. (Salud) owns Lot 2, Block 3 with an area of 0.992 acres. Lots 1 and 2 are situated west of Dry Gulch Road, south of Red Tail Hawk Drive, northeast of the intersection of Gray Hawk Court and Crabapple Lane, and north of Vista Ridge Condominiums (zoned RM). Houses with R-1 zoning lie to the west, and across Red Tail Hawk Drive to the north lies a platted open area and property having RM- Multi Family Zoning. H4H wishes to rezone the upper (southern) portion of Lot 1 from 0- Office to R-1 Residential and subdivide that area into 2 residential lots for the purpose of constructing two single-family, affordable houses. (Lot 1A proposed area = 7306 square feet and 1B proposed area = 7535 square feet). Salud is purchasing the lower (northern) portion of Lot 1 in order to expand the size of their parking area. This property will be combined with Salad's Lot 2 (Lot 2A proposed area --- 64,397 square feet). Lot 1 has a drop in elevation from its southwest corner to its northeast corner of 26 feet. The lower (northern) portion of the lot is relatively level and can accommodate additional parking spaces for the existing Salud Clinic. The upper (southern) portion of the lot is also relatively level and can accommodate two houses of typical H4H size. The steep portions of Lot 1 are being added to Lot 2 (removed from the residential lots) in order to comply with EVDC section7.1.A.2.a which states that residential lots must be a minimum area of 5000 sf in the R-1 zoning plus 1000 additional sf for each percentage point by which average slope exceeds 12%. A proposed shared drive will serve both upper lots. Building envelopes for the residential lots will assure that the buildings fall within the non-steep portions of the property and also honor the required setbacks along the streets. A private access easement and driveway agreement will be created to serve the proposed driveway. Per EVDC Appendix D.III.B.8.c., the distance between a street intersection and a proposed driveway must be at least 30 feet. The distance between the intersection of Gray Hawk Court and Crabapple Lane and the proposed driveway opening onto Gray Hawk Court is approximately 70 feet. There are no hazard areas identified by the Estes Valley Development Code that impact these properties. No utility main lines will need to be extended. Existing and proposed utilities are located as shown on the preliminary plat and development plan: Buried electric, communication, gas and water main lines run along the southern property line, an 8" diameter sanitary sewer main line is easily accessed on the downhill northern side of the property, and an 18" diameter CPP storm sewer pipe runs along the westerly and northerly lines of the property. An easement is being created to allow the sewer service lines and any drainage to run from the H413 lots across the proposed Lot 2A. A storm water management plan was prepared for the Neighborhood Subdivision in July of 2005. Per this plan the 18" culvert described above was installed to drain to Dry Gulch. Drainage plans for this subdivision will include directing storm water runoff along the surface swales shown on the preliminary plat and then capturing the flow in a type C inlet which will direct the runoff into the existing culvert. Buffering landscaping is required between the proposed Salud parking area and the adjacent residential lots as well as along the street. Existing disturbed surfaces and un-vegetated steep slopes will be stabilized, seeded and landscaped. This project requests a waiver from the requirement that the type of trees that must be planted along the southerly side of the proposed Salud parking lot be coniferous. Winter shading is a concern in keeping the parking area clear of snow and ice. Another waiver request is to allow the edge of the proposed Salud parking lot to be a minimum of 3.5 feet from the northerly line of proposed Lot 1B. Some of the required landscaping can be planted on proposed lot I B in the wide, shallow drainage swale. The property is within the Town of Estes Park and the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley has completed affordable houses selling for prices that cannot be reached by the purchase of market rate land in the Estes Valley. The rezoning of property and the incentives for affordable housing in the Estes Valley Development Code are critical to the continued construction of affordable housing in the Estes Valley. As an additional request, Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley, Inc. and Plan de Salud Del Valley Inc. ask that the review fees for this development be waived. Both are non-profit organizations dedicated to serving this community, and the effort of building affordable housing and limiting health care costs for low income families necessitates finding ways to reduce the costs of development. 04-16-2016 ESTES VALLEY DEVELOPMENT REVIEW APPLICATION Submittal Date: /t C1 -7 7 c L.4 •-•-• 7- 7 71- • Create 2 SF res.

SCALE: 1" = 20'-O" TOWN OF ESTES PARK Staff Report COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT •p; Estes Valley Planning Commission From: Randy Hunt, Community Development Director Alison Chilcott, Senior Planner Date: August 16, 2016 (Public Hearing Date) Proposed Text Amendment to Estes Valley Development Code: Long Term Rental of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) Planning: Commission Objective: Review of a proposed text amendment to the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) for compliance with EVDC §3.3.D Code Amendments, Standards for Review. Code Amendment Objective: The objective of this proposed code amendment is to revise the code to allow long-term rental of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to increase the supply of workforce housing in the Estes Valley, specifically the supply of rental housing. During the August 9, 2016 Town Board Study Session housing discussion, Trustees directed staff to draft code amendments removing the 1.33 times multiplier to minimum lot size and the 800 square foot minimum for an ADU. Trustees also directed staff to draft a mechanism that could enable this ADU code amendment to be effective within town limits, if the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners elects not to approve the amendments. These amendments are included in the package of amendments for Planning Commission review. Present Situation: The Estes Valley Development Code currently regulates new accessory dwelling units in accordance with certain limited situations. ADUs: • Cannot be rented, short-term, i.e., for stays of less than 30 days, or long-term, i.e., for stays of for more than 30 days; • Can be no larger than 800 square feet, or 33% of the habitable size of the principal dwelling unit; and • Must be on lots with 1.33 times the minimum lot area of the zoning district, e.g., in the Rural Estate RE-1 district, the minimum lot size is 10 acres, so at least 13.33 acres is required for an ADU. An accessory dwelling unit is a second dwelling integrated with a single-family detached dwelling, typically smaller and always located on the same lot as the single-family detached dwelling. it does not include mobile homes, recreational vehicles or travel trailers. Prior to 2000, detached accessory dwelling units were allowed in some cases. While current regulations prevent both sort-term and long-term rental of accessory dwelling units, removal of this prohibition for long-term rentals may help relieve a critical shortage of workforce housing in the Estes Valley. The proposed accessory dwelling unit amendment is one of several possible code amendments that may be considered by the Planning Commission, Town Board, and Board of County Commissioners to address the workforce housing shortage. A primary goal within the Town Board's strategic plan is to serve as a catalyst to develop available housing solutions for ail segments of the community. The Estes Park Housing Authority's Housing Needs Assessment is available at www.esteshousina.orq. Public Process: • On Aug. 1, a news release informing the public of the code amendment was posted on the Town website, shared via the Town Facebook webpage and delivered to the Estes Park Trail Gazette and Estes Park News for publication. o Draft proposed regulations will be available for review by Aug. 4 at www.estes.org/EVDCamendments. They wii: also be included in the Estes Valley Plannhg Commission meeting packet at wvvw.estes.oro/boardsandmeetings by Aug. 12. • Public oulbwdarit oari bt submitted to achilcottpestes.org. Public comineilt be posted online, and provided to Panning Commission, Town Board and County Commission for consideration. • Public comment can also be provided daring be Planning Commission, Town Board, and County Commission public hearings. • The public will have the opportunity to provide input hirougrhout the public process, which is anticipated to last approximately three-months. Meetings and public hearings are tentative!v scheduled as follows: Date Review/ Decision-Making Bodies Meeting Type Purpose Aug. 16 Planning Commission Public Hearing Review for compliance with EVDC §3.3.D and forward recommendation to Town Board and County Commission Sept. 19 County Commission Work Session Project Update Sept. 27 Town Board Public Hearing Review for compliance with EVDC §3.3.D and consider adoption Oct. 17 County Commission Public Hearing Review for compliance with EVDC §3.3.D and consider adoption Revision #2 Page 2 of 8 Revised August 10, 2016 Public Hearing Legal Notice Requirements The legal notice requirements for the Estes Valley Planning Commission public hearing have been satisfied. The legal notice for the public hearing was published in the Estes Park Trail-Gazette on July 29, 2016. Prior ADU code amendment proposals and Accessory Kitchen Code Amendment Planning Commission, Town Board, and County Commission have considered several previous proposals to revise the ADU regulations; however, prior ADU code amendment proposals were broader in scope, e.g., the amendments addressed unit type (attached, detached, and integrated) in addition to the ability to rent long-term, minimum lot size, and unit type. With the prior proposals there was both opposition and support for rental of ADUs. For all practical purposes accessory kitchens allow accessory dwelling units by another name. However, there has been very limited use of the accessory kitchen regulations. Staff assumes this is because few people are either aware of, or understand, the regulation. There now appears to be much more vocal and broad based public support for addressing the housing needs of our workforce due to the current housing crisis that has resulted in community-wide negative impacts. Staff would suggest the option of a "sunset" provision in this code amendment. Sunset provisions serve to make a code section expire on a given date, so that unless further action is taken, meanwhile, the section is effectively temporary. The option always exists to amend the code further to remove the sunset provision (i.e., make the amendment permanent), or to extend the sunset date. It is understood that ADUs have been a topic of great public interest. One possible advantage of a sunset provision is to allow the community and the decision-makers time and opportunity to see the amendment in action, and perceive what may be working well and what may not. It also provides effective notice to landlords that lease arrangements beyond the sunset date may be problematic. Administration Administration of ADU code provisions is proposed to remain on a code compliance complaint basis. Other options that could be considered if the amendment were to be permanent include developing a permit process for ADU long-term rentals. Proposal: Amend EVDC Section 5.2.6.2.a Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) as per the elements discussed above.as stated in Exhibit A, attached. Revision #2 Page 3 of 8 Revised August 10, 2016 Staff Findings: The text amendment complies with EVDC §3.3.D. 0.3.D Code Amendments, Standards for Review "All rezonings and text amendments to the EVDC shall meet the following criteria:" 1. "The amendment is necessary to address changes in conditions in the area affected;" Staff Finding: The amendment is necessary to address changes in conditions in the area affected. The 2016 Housing Needs Assessment describes those changes in depth and quantifies the worsening of the housing problem since last measured in 2007, the peak of the economic period prior to the recession (refer to page 11 of the Housing Needs Assessment). 2. "The development plan, which the proposed amendment to this Code would allow, is compatible and consistent with the policies and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and with existing growth and development patterns in the Estes Valley;" Staff Finding: The proposed text amendment is compatible and consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and with existing growth and development patterns in the Estes Valley. A development plan is not required. The code amendment aligns with both the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan housing policies and the 2016 Estes Park Housing Needs Assessment recommendations. The Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan established housing policies for the Estes Valley. The comprehensive plan states, "The success of a community depends upon the continued availability of adequate housing for all income groups. Promoting a balance of housing opportunities will assist residents and businesses within the community." "Policies include: 5.1 Encourage a variety of housing types and price ranges. 5.2 Encourage housing for permanent residents of all sectors of the community that is integrated into and dispersed throughout existing neighborhoods. Revision #2 Page 4 of 8 Revised August 10, 2016 5.3 Establish a balanced program of incentives, and public and private actions, to provide affordable housing. 5.6 Encourage housing infill within the existing urban area. 5.7 Identify affordable housing opportunities on an ongoing basis. 5.8 Regularly evaluate regulations and eliminate unnecessary requirements." 3. "The Town, County or other relevant service providers shall have the ability to provide adequate services and facilities that might be required if the application were approved." Staff Finding: The proposed code amendment was discussed with providers of public water, sewage disposal, electric services, fire protection, and transportation services. Providers expressed no concerns with the proposed amendment. If a new accessory dwelling unit is proposed on a property with a well or an on- site wastewater treatment system, review and approval of the Larimer County Health Department will be required during building permit review. The Health Department has the authority to determine if the connection to public water or sewer will be required. Also, the Colorado Division of Water Resources may not allow accessory dwelling units to be served by a well. Advantages: • Complies with the EVDC Section §3.3.D Code Amendments, Standards for Review. • Is another step towards addressing the workforce housing shortage in the Estes Valley, one of the community's most pressing problems. • There appears to be a broad base of public support for addressing the workforce housing shortage, including support from employers in need of workers, local residents that are homeless or part of the hidden homeless, and commuters that would prefer to live in the Valley if rental housing were available. • From Oct. 2016 through June 2017, travel on Highway 34 travel in the Big Thompson Canyon will be limited. Employees commuting to the Estes Valley will need to use US 36 and CO 66 to travel to the Estes Valley (CDOT, 2016). The entire corridor rebuild is anticipated to last three years from construction start. During this time there will be additional travel delays. In addition to addressing the long-term workforce housing shortage, this code amendment could help some commuters relocate to the Estes Valley in the medium-term. Revision #2 Page 5 of 8 Revised August 10, 2016 • Removal of the 1.33 times multiplier to minimum lot size removes a potentially unnecessary regulation and allows for more equal regulation of ADUs across zoning districts. • Removal of the 800 square foot size limit for accessory dwelling units removes a potentially unnecessary regulation. • Pre-existing accessory dwelling units that comply with the ADU code requirements could be rented. • The proposed sunset provision in the regulation means the amendment will automatically expire, unless renewed through a public process with public hearings. This provides for the opportunity to evaluate how the amendment is working and whether is it appropriate to retain the code amendment. Disadvantages: • Allowing rental of ADUs is likely to produce a fairly limited number of units at first, as compared to development of new workforce housing; however, as noted in the Needs Assessment "some strategies may only produce a few units, but in combination with other efforts are key for a diversified inventory of workforce housing that meet a wide spectrum of needs." • The proposed code amendment will not result in one unified set of ADU regulations, i.e., the amendment does not fully reconcile conflicts between the ADU and Accessory Kitchen regulations, at this time. • Numerous reasons to not allow long-term rental of ADUs have been provided by the public. Reasons include, but are not limited to: Rental will result in an increase in land use nuisances (noise, parking, lighting, and more), and change the character of neighborhoods. Concern has also been raised that ADUs will be rented as vacation rentals and the Town and County either cannot, or will not, enforce the short-term rental prohibition of ADUs. Action Recommended: Review draft text amendment for compliance with Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) §3.3.D Code Amendments, Standards for Review and forward a recommendation the Estes Park Town Board of Trustees and Larimer County Board of County Commissioners for approval, denial or approval with conditions to the Estes Park Town Board and Larimer County Board of County Commissioners for a final decision. Revision #2 Page 6 of 8 Revised August 10, 2016 Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider the following questions. • Should long-term rental of accessory dwelling units be allowed to help address the Estes Valley's workforce housing shortage? • Should the ADU long-term rental provision sunset? If so, when? • Should the 1.33 times multiplier to minimum lot size be removed? • Should the 800 square foot size limit be removed? • Should the code language be adopted as proposed? The Planning Commission may also wish to discuss and comment on the issue of the amendment being effective in Town if the County does not approve the amendment and may forward their collective position on this issue to the Town Board and County Commissioners. Level of Public Interest: High: Addressing housing shortage in the Estes Valley High: Code amendment The level of public interest in this code amendment is anticipated to be high. Proposed ADU code amendments have been discussed in depth, at and length, over a five-year period from 2008 — 2012, with a significant amount of public comment in support and opposition. The end result was that no amendments to ADU regulations were adopted; however, in 2010 accessory kitchen regulations were added to the code. Sample Motions: APPROVAL I move to recommend that the Estes Park Town Board of Trustees and Larimer County Board of County Commissioners approve the text amendment to the Estes Valley Development Code and proposed sunset clause as presented in Exhibit A, and with the findings recommended by staff. CONTINUANCE I move to CONTINUE this agenda item to the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting because... (state reason(s) for continuance - findings).

Exhibit A August 16, 2016 Page 2 of 2 Draft #2 Planning Commission Public Hearing Chapter Six - Community Wide Policies 5.0 HOUSING The success of a community depends upon the continued availability of adequate housing for all income groups. Promoting a balance of housing opportunities will assist residents and businesses within the community. Policies include: 5.1 Encourage a variety of housing types and price ranges. 5.2 Encourage housing for permanent residents of all sectors of the community that is integrated into and dispersed throughout existing neighborhoods. 5.3 Establish a balanced program of incentives, and public and private actions, to provide affordable housing. 5.4 Encourage redevelopment of existing substandard areas. 5.5 Provide for mixed use developments which integrate commercial, housing, employment, and service needs. 5.6 Encourage housing infill within the existing urban area. 5.7 Identify affordable housing opportunities on an ongoing basis. 5.8 Regularly evaluate regulations and eliminate unnecessary requirements. 5.9 Support the creation of public and private funding sources for affordable housing. 5.10 Establish a linkage between new developments and the provision of affordable housing. 6.0 SCENIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY The quality of life for residents and the visitor experience within the Valley are, in large part, determined by the natural setting and relatively unspoiled environment Many components of the natural environment have attracted the tourist and resident alike. They include dean water, a pristine landscape and beautiful views. Environmental resources and scenic quality are the foundations of the economy and critical livability factors for residents. Protecting these important environmental assets is necessary to maintain a high quality community. 1ESTES VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN), 6-5 Chapter Seven • Action Plan A. Action Plan INTRODUCTION This section includes specific recommended actions for implementing the plan. Some of the actions also include a series of sub-tasks. Many are project related, while others are focused on developing additional information for a specific area of interest. The actions are organized by categories. Government departments and many organizations often have specific needs and wish to have the recommended actions presented together for their specific area. In reality, however, many of the recommendations overlap categories, and it could be argued that some of the recommendations could easily be presented in a different category. It is important to understand that the categories have been utilized only to provide a more convenient access to each of the recommendations. This portion of the plan is meant to be regularly updated and modified. The actions, funding recommendations, and implementation organizations or agencies were developed over an eighteen-month period leading up to June 1995. Over time, new ideas will be developed, new options presented, and individual recommendations will be refined. New projects will arise and organizational capacity will be modified. It is suggested that this action plan be reviewed and modified on an annual basis. The intent of preparing the document has not been to draw a map for the next decade that provides detailed directions for each department. Instead, we have chosen to utilize the broader community vision and community values to act as a rrimpass, always pointed toward "true north." Therefore, reviewing the recommended actions on an annual basis will allow the vision and the actions to be regularly aligned. There are substantially more short-term recommendations than mid- or long-term recommendations. The document was structured in this fashion to insure that it focused on creating enough momentum in the short term to begin the implementation process. Unless this occurs, the plan has little chance of success, and mid- or long-term recommendations become less meaningful. In addition, given current fiscal realities and funding opportunities, it is difficult to provide detailed information related to funding agencies, estimated costs and realistic implementation time frames for many of the long-term action items. Therefore, long-term concepts — such as creating outlying parking with transit facilities -- have been identified without defining the specifics for each action. The resulting action plan therefore identifies a long-term direction, but also creates the initial momentum necessary to make the plan a reality. For each of these six categories, there follows a brief discussion of needs and a series of recommendations: • Land use, • Growth management, • Mobility and circulation, • Urban Renewal Authority, • Housing, and • Intergovernmental cooperation. -4ESTES VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN> 7-1 Chapter Seven • Action Plan A.5 Housing - Recommended Actions Maintaining the supply of affordable housing within the Estes Valley continues to be a significant issue. Part of the solution will include the identification of land for affordable housing development, which may include utilizing some Town or County owned properties. Other solutions are likely to include a combination of incentives and/or linkages with new commercial or lodging developments. There may also be opportunities to modify zoning classifications to allow accessory units that serve as affordable housing units. Providing incentives for the development of second floor apartments in the commercial core or in new commercial developments may create additional opportunities. It should be remembered that the overall solution is likely to be the result of a comprehensive set of strategies being implemented together. While the community as a whole has not been supportive of large-scale subsidies, they would like to address the issue incrementally, using a variety of tools. Speczfic actions include: 1. Completing existing Estes Park Housing Authority (EPHA) project. The Lone Tree Apartments are under construction. This project will assist local residents and employees to access affordable housing options. 2. Define residential infill areas and strategy. Within the downtown core and a number of neighborhoods immediately adjacent to the core, significant infill opportunities exist. By identifying these areas and creating a special incentive zoning overlay, these opportunities and the associated density incentives would be made apparent. It may also be possible to work with local lending institutions to coordinate the use of Community Reinvestment Funds in these areas. 3. Evaluate accessory structure options. Within the core and in a number of outlying areas, it may be appropriate to allow accessory structures such as Garage Apartments or Attached Units. Specific criteria should be created to define more specifically where such development should be encouraged. 4. Evaluate commercial residential linkages and incentives. Because a substantial portion of impacts associated with employee housing can be correlated with development of commercial or lodging uses, it may be appropriate to link these uses to the creation of affordable/employee housing. Programs could be incentive-based or tied to a direct requirement based on the number units or square footage developed.

An accessory dwelling unit is a second dwelling integrated with a single-family detached dwelling, typically smaller and located on the same lot as the single- family detached dwelling. It does not include mobile homes, recreational vehicles or travel trailers. Prior to 2000, detached accessory dwelling units were allowed, in some cases. While current regulations prevent rental of accessory dwelling units, removal of this prohibition for long-term rentals may help relieve a critical shortage of workforce housing in the Estes Valley. The Planning Commission meeting takes place Aug. 16 at 1:30 p.m. in the Town Board Room of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Ave. Draft proposed regulations will be available for review by Aug. 4 at www.estes.org/EVDCamendments. They will also be included in the Estes Valley Planning Commission meeting packet at www.estes.oreboardsandmeetings by Aug. 12. The Planning Commission is charged with reviewing the proposed code amendment with the standards for review in the Estes Valley Development Code, which includes determining whether the amendment is compatible and consistent with the polices and intent of the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission will forward a recommendation for approval, denial or approval with conditions to the Estes Park Town Board and Larimer County Board of County Commissioners for a final decision. At the Aug. 16 meeting, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing and is expected to make a formal recommendation to the Town Board, which is tentatively scheduled to review the recommendation and draft regulations at its Sept. 20 meeting. Next, the recommendations will be scheduled to be reviewed by the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners, tentatively Oct. 17. The proposed accessory dwelling unit amendment is one of several possible code amendments that might be considered by the Planning Commission, Town Board, and Board of County Commissioners to address the workforce housing shortage. A primary goal within the Town Board's strategic plan is to serve as a catalyst to develop available housing solutions for all segments of the community. The Estes Park Housing Authority, with support from the Town of Estes Park, conducted the 2016 Estes Park Area Housing Needs Assessment. The assessment identified strategies to address MORE CONTINUED workforce housing needs, calling for partners to first convene a Housing Summit to prioritize those strategies. A top priority identified at the May summit is to amend codes to allow and encourage workforce housing. Another recommendation was to allow accessory dwelling units in all residential zones provided that they are rented long-term to employees. The Estes Park Housing Authority's Housing Needs Assessment is available at www.esteshousing.org The Estes Valley model for land-use regulations is unique in Colorado. The Town of Estes Park and Larimer County partnered in the mid-1990s to develop the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan — a unified vision for land-use planning in both the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the Estes Valley. In 2000, they jointly established the Estes Valley Development Code. The Planning Commission reviews development and subdivision proposals and proposed code amendments within the entire Estes Valley, though the final decision-making authority lies with the County Commissioners and Town Board for their respective jurisdictions.

END "Towns, cities, and counties across the country have done the right thing by proactively amending local zoning ordinances to allow ADUs" American Planning Association Making Great Communities Happen Pk-4711Mla,ftl.I klan IC.r; tell5 (Or pi/ Off1(.4-.6 oni:f Accessory Dwelling Units Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are small, self-contained living units that typically have their own kitchen, bedroom(s), and bathroom space. Often called granny flats, elder cottage housing opportuni- ties (ECHO), mother-daughter residences, or secondary dwelling units, ADUs are apartments that can be located within the walls of an existing or newly constructed single-family home or can be an addi- tion to an existing home. They can also be freestanding cottages on the same lot as the principal dwelling unit or a conversion of a garage or barn. The benefits to the home owner and the ADU occupant are many. For the home owner, ADUs provide the opportunity to offer an affordable and independent housing option to the owner's grown son or daughter just starting out or to an elderly parent or two who might need a helping hand nearby, The unit could also be leased to unrelated individuals or newly established families, which would provide the dual benefit of providing affordable housing to the ADU occupant and supplemental rental Income to the owner. Supplemental income could offset the high cost of a home mortgage, utilities, and real estate taxes. Finally, leasing an ADU to a young person or family can provide an elderly home owner with a sense of security and an opportunity to exchange needed work around the house and yard for a discount on rent. Despite the benefits, some communities resist allowing ADUs, or allow them only after time-consuming and costly review procedures and requirements. Public resistance to ADUs usually takes the form of a perceived concern that they might transform the character of the neighborhood, increase density, add to traffic, make parking on the street more difficult increase school enrollment, and put additional pres- sure on fire and police service, parks, or water and wastewater. However, communities that have allowed ADUs find that these perceived fears are mostly unfounded or overstated when ADUs are actually built. ADUs are a particularly desirable option for many communities today considering the current econom- ic climate, changes in household size, increasing numbers of aging baby boomers, and the shortage of affordable housing choices. They provide a low-impact way for a community to expand its range of housing choices. LOCALITIES AND STATES GET INTO THE ACT Towns, cities, and counties across the country have done the right thing by proactively amending local zoning ordinances to allow ADUs.This is typically done either as a matter of right or as a special or con- ditional use. In either case, reasonable conditions may be imposed. Some states, including California, have enacted legislation that limits the ability of localities to zone out ADUs. In 2001 AARP retained APA's Research Department to write a guidance report for citizens interested in convincing local and state officials of the benefits of allowing ADUs and showing them how to do it. Entitled Accessory Dwelling Units: Model State Act and Model Local Ordinance, the monograph provides alternative statute and ordinance language useful to implementing all forms of ADUs. The Model Local Ordinance suggests recommendations for communities. Additionally, the intent of the ordinance describes the permitting process for eligibility and approval, and further outlines standards for ADU approval pertaining to lot size, occupancy, building standards, parking and traffic, public health, and how to deal with nonconforming ADUs. The Model State Act provides findings and policies encouraging the approval of ADUs and names local governments as the entities entitled to authorize A Publication of the American Planning Association I MS QuickNotes No. r9 for a complete list of references visit http://www planning.org/bas/quicimotes/ REFERENCES 1.

WHAT ISSUES ARISE WHEN A PROPOSED ADU ORDINANCE IS CONSIDERED? ADU ordinances offer a variety of ben- efits to local communities but the road to implementation may not be an easy process. While ADUs are more widely accepted now than in years past, skeptics still remain and some still oppose ADJ zoning. The foliowing describes some issues or decision points that communities must address in order to successfully navigate the perilous waters of public acceptance. The approach that is right for your city or town will be unique, ioseu On local pnysical: political, social, and economic conditions. By-right Permitting. Should permits for ADUs be issued as a matter of rght (with clear standards built into the ordinance) or should they be allowed by discretion as a special or conditional use after a public hearing? Occupancy. Should ordinance language allow an ADU only on the condition that the owner of the property lives in one of the units? Form of Ownership. Should the ordirance prohibit converting the ADU unit into a condominium? Preexisting, nonconforming ADUs. How should the ordinance treat grandfathered ADUs? How do you treat illegal apartments that want to apply for an ADU permit? Unit Size: Should the ordinance limit the square footage of the ADU to assure that the unit is truly accessory to the principal dwelling on the property? kerlhaquazit-7 &Water and Sewer Services. How do you guarantee there is enough capacity in sewer lines, pumping stations, and treatment facilities to accommodate ADUs? These are not easy issues. However, communities would do well to seriously consider adopting an approach that: allows ADUs by right with clear written conditions; does not require owner occupan- cy; prohibits condominium ownership on the basis that a condo could not be considered accessory; provides a simple procedure for legalizing preexisting or formerly illegal apartments provided the unit is inspected; provides a generous size standard; and provides a water and sewer adequacy stan- dard.

The same survey is now available for broad participation on the Town's website www.estes.org through August 31. Town Administrator Frank Lancaster encourages everyone to take the opportunity to weigh in on Town and community programs and services, including residents outside the Town limits. "The Town understands many people who weren't included in the scientific sample also rely on our services, and the online survey is a convenient way for all citizens to tell us what they think," he explained.

The code amendment that would allow for the long-term rental of attached ADUs is being brought to the three bodies by staff as an option to help address the affordable housing issues in the Estes Valley. The consideration of this amendment will be a public process (Planning Commission, Town Board, County Commission) with ample opportunity for public comment and feedback. We do recognize that the timeline, while wholly within our procedural requirements, is faster than usual. This decision was made in an effort to address this potential code amendment prior to (or soon after) the Highway 34 road closure. The thought behind this is that the change might assist employees in the community who commute to Estes Park from other Front Range communities cope with the highway closure. Planning Commission is the first stop for discussion on this item. Of course, they always have the prerogative to continue an agenda item if they do not feel comfortable making a decision/recommendation. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns. Best, TM Travis Machalek Assistant Town Administrator Town of Estes Park 970-577-3707 [Quoted text hidden] From: Art Messal Sent: Thursday, August 4, 2016 1:20 PM To: Travis Machalek Cc: Todd Jirsa; Frank Lancaster; Michelle Hiland; Randy Hunt Subject: Re: Long-term rental of accessory dwelling units considered; CitizenSurvey online through August 31 Happy Thursday Travis, I don't follow the logic for pushing this so quickly. The 34 closure starts around the time when many daily or weekly rentals historically shift to longer term and I fmd it unlikely many will break their leases just to move into an ADU. My concern with the public process is that many in our community are starting to notice that this board has some strong agendas and that participation isn't really worth the effort. We need staff to slow things down.:) I have some specific questions that I sent to Randy. Thanks, -Art-
