IV. REQUESTS AND/OR PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Case SUB 15-002 Top of Paradise Amended Master Plan Extension: Request for the City’s review
and approval of an extension of the Top of Paradise Amended Master Plan to August 4, 2020 that is
198.5 acres and is planned for a maximum of 190 single family homes. Top of Paradise Amended
Master Plan is located in a portion of the West ½ of Section 19, T12S, R68W of the 6th P.M., in the
City of Woodland Park, Teller County, Colorado; and generally located northeast of Thunder Ridge
Drive and southeast Majestic Parkway, as requested by Andrea Rodriquez, Paradise Estates, Inc., and
Kenneth Bauer, President of Call of the Rockies, Inc.
Director Riley explained the history and current status of the subject property’s ownerships. She
exhibited a projector slide presentation to enhance her Staff Report to the Commissioners, which
focused on the general location of this Suburban Residential zoned property. She explained the platting
requirements and thus the need for this Amended Master Plan extension, along with the evolution of
the Amendment to the original Master Plan. She elaborated on the delineated ownership of the property.
Director Riley concluded her presentation explaining the five-year renewal requirement for Master
Plans and Staff’s recommendation for approval. Commissioner Hartsfield inquired about the status of
the Preliminary Plat. Director Riley stated this was extended last year for two years. Commissioner
Rollinger asked why Master Plans are only extended in five-year increments. Director Riley responded
that the purpose is so timely and periodic reviews can be performed in case of changes in the
subdivision regulations which would affect the Master Plan.
Kenneth Bauer was the only subject property owner in the audience. Chairman DeVaux offered him
the opportunity to comment, which Mr. Bauer declined. Chairman DeVaux opened and closed the
public comment period since there were no citizens forthcoming for comment. He requested further
deliberation from the Commissioners, and with none forthcoming, he encouraged a motion for this
case.

MOTION: Move by Commissioner Propes to approve Case SUB 15-002 Top of Paradise Amended
Master Plan Extension to August 4, 2020 that is 198.5 acres and is planned for a maximum of 190
single family homes located in a portion of the West ½ of Section 19, T12S, R68W of the 6th P.M., in
the City of Woodland Park, Teller County, Colorado; and generally located northeast of Thunder Ridge
Drive and southeast Majestic Parkway, as requested by Andrea Rodriquez, Paradise Estates, Inc., and
Kenneth Bauer, President of Call of the Rockies, Inc. Seconded by Vice-Chair Watson. Approved
unanimously 8-0 with the case moving to City Council for Public Hearing on May 21, 2015 for final
action on this extension.
B. Case SUB15-003 Southwest Valley Subdivision Filing No. 1: Request for the City’s review and
approval of Southwest Valley Subdivision Filing No. 1 for the purpose of creating a single lot, final
plat containing 1.83 acres located at 1000 and 1050 County Road 231 (aka S. West Street) situated in
the NW¼ of Section 25, T12S, R69W of the 6th P.M., City of Woodland Park, Teller County, Colorado
as requested by Jay Baker, President of Materials Management Company, a Colorado Corporation.
Director Riley exhibited a projector slide presentation to enhance her Staff Report to the
Commissioners, explaining this is a simple subdivision combining five separate parcels into a single
lot. She displayed and described an Aerial View while explaining the development history, and that
one of the previous conditions for this development was to combine these separate parcels into a single-
lot subdivision plat. She also showed a Zoning Map of this Community Commercial zoned property,
along with photographs of the existing site conditions. She exhibited the Final Subdivision Plat
explaining the contents therein. She reviewed the subdivision regulations and design standards as
outlined in the Municipal Code, explaining that most of that criteria applies to major subdivisions,
rather than this minor subdivision, and that this plat complies with all pertinent criteria as reviewed.
Director Riley presented Staff Recommendation for approval and solicited questions from the
Commissioners. Commissioner Propes asked who monitors stormwater quality. Director Riley
explained the drainage process, and that it is not monitored directly on the site. Vice-Chair Watson
asked if this subdivision is a required action by the City Council, to which Director Riley confirmed it
is. Commissioner Hartsfield asked what is considered as the rear property line for the purpose of
easement definition. There was discussion regarding easements and the conclusion that this was
properly reviewed and approved. Commissioner Rollinger inquired about improvements on the
adjoining County Road 231, and Director Riley explained the financial agreement between the owner
and Teller County for these. Commissioner Penland asked how the waste and the recycling collection
center is retained in regards to drainage. Director Riley explained that waste is retained in the trash
trucks and does not interact with the drainage, so contamination problems are not anticipated.
Tim Siebert with NES Incorporated introduced himself as the owner’s representative stating his address
as 619 North Cascade Avenue in Colorado Springs, and he solicited questions from the Commissioners.
No questions were posed by the Commissioners to Mr. Siebert. Chairman DeVaux opened and closed
the public comment period since there were no citizens forthcoming for comment. He requested further
deliberation from the Commissioners. Commissioner Penland asked if there was any public response
to this request. Director Riley explained there were two separate neighbors she spoke with who did not
have any opposition to this particular action, but that the discussions were related to the Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) for the subject property. There was additional discussion between Chairman DeVaux
and Director Riley regarding conditions, maintenance and authority of stormwater prior to the
Page 3 of 3
Certificate of Occupancy pertaining to the CUP. Chairmen DeVaux then encouraged a motion for this
case.

Planning Commission Agenda Item 4. A.
July 9, 2015
STAFF REPORT TO: Chairman DeVaux and Planning Commissioners FROM: Sally Riley, AICP, Planning Director RE: Ordinance No. 1243 to delete the minimum one-acre lot size and the 100-
foot setback to any single-family residential district for development and operation of a nursing home, convalescent home, rest home and home for the aged, and add this use to the Multi-family Suburban and Multifamily Urban Residential Districts.
DATE: July 2, 2015
Introduction In accordance with Section 18.09.090 J.3. of the Municipal Code, the development and operation of a nursing home, convalescent home, rest home and home for the aged (i.e., assisted living facility) mandates a minimum lot size of one-acre and a 100-foot setback to any single-family residential district. Staff believes that these requirements are excessive and unnecessary. The zoning regulations already require approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) if a project is proposed within the zone districts of Neighborhood Commercial District, Community Commercial District, Service Commercial District, and Central Business District. If located within a Planned Unit Development then it is permitted conditionally which is reviewed as if it were a CUP. A CUP must comply with all 11 standards of Section 18.57.040, site plan review requirements and design standards. Over time, the Planning Staff has been approached by developers and retirement agencies of senior care facilities who have expressed some concern about the minimum lot size and setback requirement. In staff’s opinion and based upon research of other jurisdictions, the setbacks and minimum lot size is not typical. As a result, attached is Ordinance No. 1243 which removes the 100-foot setback and minimum lot size requirements and adds this use to the multifamily zone districts. Justification There are several reasons why the staff believes this setback and lot area is unnecessary, limits the possible supply of senior housing options, and is potentially onerous to the developer and business owner:
1. Senior care facilities are reviewed and scrutinized on a case-by-case basis through the conditional use process. The standard setbacks for most commercially zoned sites are 25 feet in the front, 25 feet in the rear and 8 feet on the sides. If additional mitigation is necessary to create larger setbacks for a particular proposal then a larger setback buffer can be justified through the public hearing process and application of the 11 CUP standards.
2. Senior care facilities tend to function similar to a multifamily apartment complex which are often located adjacent to single family developments. Moreover, senior care facilities are likely to create fewer impacts because older adults tend to drive less and are more quit than multi-generational apartment dwellers. The setbacks for a multifamily project are 25 feet in the front, 25 feet in the rear and 8 feet on the sides which are the same as most commercially zoned properties.
3. The minimum lot size limits the potential number sites within the City. Commercially zoned lots that could accommodate senior living facilities maybe less than 43,560 square feet in size.
4. Staff has researched several communities’ zoning regulations and found no comparable standard existing in the Municipal Code of Colorado Springs, Cañon City, Fountain, Monument and Steamboat Springs. Therefore, we believe the one acre lot size and 100 foot setbacks to any single-family residential district for development of a nursing home, convalescent home, rest home and home for the aged are not typical.
5. With 76.4 million baby boomers reaching retirement age, the need for senior care facilities in the USA has increased dramatically. Currently, Woodland Park has no senior facilities within the City. The 80 bed skilled nursing facility, under construction and adjacent to the Pikes Peak Regional Hospital, will begin to address the need for senior care in the area but will not service all seniors who desire different options.
6. The proposed amendment to the zoning regulations is consistent with the Woodland Park Comprehensive Plan Housing Objective to provide a wide range of housing options and the Guiding Principle to sustain economic vitality without compromising Woodland Park’s high standard of design.
In conclusion, a nursing home, convalescent home, rest home and home for the aged with a minimum lot size and 100-foot setback is no longer relevant and does not further any legitimate governmental purpose. It should be changed. Recommendation Move to recommend approval of Ordinance No. 1243 deleting the minimum lot size of at least one-acre and the 100-foot setback to any single-family residential district for development of a nursing home, convalescent home, rest home and home for the aged as required by Section 18.09.090. J.3. and adding this use to the MFS and MFU Residential Districts as a conditional use.

ORDINANCE NO. 1243, SERIES 2015
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 18.09.090 J.3. OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO

Conditionally in the Planned Unit Development; and
WHEREAS, senior care facilities are similar to multi-family projects and are compatible
uses in the Suburban and Urban Multi-family District; and
WHEREAS, the City’s Design Standards in accordance with Section 18.33.180; the
Condition Use Permit Standards in accordance Section 18.57.040, and all site development
standards associated with a particular zone district (i.e., heights, yards, frontage, parking, fencing,
signage and landscaping) will apply to any site development or change in use proposal; and
WHEREAS, the setback is considered both excessive and potentially limits the opportunity
to develop senior care and housing facilities in Woodland Park; and
WHEREAS, staff researched several communities’ zoning regulations and found no
comparable regulation in the City of Colorado Springs, the City of Cañon City, the City of
Fountain, the City of Monument, and the City of Steamboat Springs; and
WHEREAS, there is a demographic trend and need for senior care and housing faculties
due to the increasing senior population as the baby boomer generation ages; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment to the zoning regulations is consistent with the
Woodland Park Comprehensive Plan Housing Objective 1.1 to provide a wide range of housing
options inclunding those that support senior citizens; and

compromising Woodland Park’s high standard of design and appearance.
