STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC)
General Overview
This property is designated as Mixed-Use Community(MU-C) on the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM). The use of a financial institution and drive-through establishment is consistent with the
plan for MU-C designation.
The subject site is among several commercially zone properties fronting along Ten Mile in the
Mile High Pines Subdivision. The proposed use of a financial institution with a drive-through
aligns with the desired uses specified within the Mixed-Use Community designation in the
comprehensive plan, as noted above. In conjunction with the already approved medical office
directly to the north and the current residential to the west,the proposed use satisfies the general
Mixed-Use Community future land use designation for this area.
A financial institution is a permitted use in the C-C zoning district but the drive through is within
300 feet of a residential district therefore a conditional use permit is required. The proposed
financial institution and drive through are required to comply with UDC 11-4-3-11 and 11-4-3-
17.

Acreage 0.77 acre
History
The subject property is part of the Mile-High Pines Subdivision that was annexed with a concept
plan in 2020. The development agreement associated with the annexation currently governs the
site (DA Inst#2021-046525) and requires future development to be generally consistent with the
approved site/landscape plan. The building elevations are required to be generally consistent with
the approved concept elevations in size, form, scale and roof lines; at a minimum, at least(1) field
material and color that matches the residential portion of the site is required. See below for
analysis on compliance with the existing DA.
Site Development and Use Analysis
Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2):
The proposed use of a financial institution and drive-through establishment aligns well with
the Mixed-Use Community(MU-C) future land use designation,which supports a blend of
residential, commercial, and recreational uses. By offering service options within proximity
to both residential areas and existing commercial developments,this project contributes to the
community's overall livability and sustainability. Specifically,it adheres to Policy 3.06.02B,
which encourages and supports mixed-use areas that provide the benefits of living, shopping,
dining, and working nearby,thereby reducing vehicle trips. Additionally,the proposal is
consistent with Policy 3.07.02B,which recommends locating smaller-scale,neighborhood-
serving commercial uses in clusters that complement and provide convenient access to nearby
residential areas,while minimizing direct access to major roadways. The establishment's
location adjacent to N. Ten Mile Road and within the Mile-High Pines Subdivision enhances
its accessibility and supports the local commercial landscape, fulfilling the need for such
amenities in the immediate and broader community.

Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
Landscape buffers along streets
A 25-foot wide street buffer is required along N. Ten Mile Road, an arterial road. This
landscape buffer shall be landscaped per the standards in UDC 11-3B-7C. The proposed
landscaping does not meet the minimum requirements.Lawn and other grasses shall not

submittal of certificate of zoning compliance and design review.
Parking lot landscaping
Landscaping is required to be provided along all parking areas per the standards listed in
UDC 11-313-8. The proposed landscape plan does not meet the minimum requirements.
The west landscape buffer shall be widened to 7 feet and the parking stall shall be
reduced to 17 feet to provide adequate vehicle hang over. Additionally, the northern most
parking stall on the west buffer shall be removed and curbing shall be extended to the

CASENO(S). [H-2024-0051]
Page 8 F47
Storm integration
Storm drainage is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-18.
Drainage swales should not be within the landscape setbacks along N. Ten Mile Road.
Pathway landscaping
Landscaping is required to be provided along all pathways per the standards listed in
UDC 11-3B-12C. The proposed landscape plan appears to meet the minimum
requirements.
Parking (UDC 11-3C):
Nonresidential parking analysis
A minimum of one(1) off-street parking space is required per 500 square feet of gross
floor area. Based on the 2,435 square-foot building, a minimum of 5 spaces are required.
A total of 18 parking spaces are proposed exceeding the minimum requirements in the
UDC. However, staff is recommending the removal of one(1)parking stall on the
western buffer as it is encroaching into required open space for the neighboring multi-
family development.
Bicycle parking analysis
A minimum of one(1)bicycle parking space must be provided for every 25 vehicle
spaces or portion thereof per UDC 11-3C-6G;bicycle parking facilities are required to
comply with the location and design standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C.Bicycle parking
is depicted on the plans submitted with this application that meet the requirements.
Building Elevations (Comp Plan,Architectural Standards Manual):
Goal 2.09.03A of the Comprehensive Plan highlights establishing distinct, engaging identities
within commercial and mixed-use enters through design standards to integrate commercial,
multifamily,and parking areas with existing neighborhoods. In response,the developer has
submitted conceptual building elevations for the proposed structure as shown in Section
VII.C. Building materials consist of EIFS stucco, stone veneer, aluminum panels with the
appearance of wood,parapet metal wall cap flashing, and glazing.
The conceptual building elevations appear to meet guidelines set forth in the Architectural
Standards Manual. The final design is required to comply with the Architectural Standards
Manual for Commercial Design Guidelines.
Transportation Analysis
Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4):
Goal 6.01.0213 focuses on minimizing access points to arterial streets by implementing
strategies like cross-access agreements,access management, and developing frontage and
backage roads,while enhancing connectivity between local and collector streets. The site
plan includes a single access point via a private drive aisle(W. Treva Lane)on the southern
side,along with cross-access to the property to the north. Vehicles will enter from the south,
with parking available on the west side of the building and a drive-through option on the
eastern side. An escape lane is also provided on the east side(along Ten Mile)to meet
regulatory requirements.
Sidewalks and Pathways (UDC 11-3A-17):
The proposed plan includes a pedestrian walkway from the main walkway on the north side
of the building connecting to the main entrance on the west side of the building. Where
pedestrian walkways cross vehicular driving surfaces,they're required to be distinguished
from the vehicular driving surface through the use of pavers, colored or scored concrete, or

bricks as set forth in UDC 11-3A-19B.4. The site/landscape plan submitted do not reflect
compliance with this standard and shall be revised with the certificate ofzoning compliance
and design review.Additionally, staff recommends moving pedestrian connections on the
north portion on the site to the south to better align with the existing sidewalk to the west.
This will reduce the landscaping between the pathway and drive through exit.
Services Analysis
Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-15):
Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided as set forth in UDC 1I-
3A-15.
Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18):
Storm drainage is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-18. Drainage
swales shall not be within the street landscape buffer along N. Ten Mile Road.
Utilities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-21):
Both the Comp Plan and the UDC outline policies and regulations for extending and
connecting to City utilities. Goal 3.03.03G of the Plan requires that urban infrastructure be
provided for all new developments, including curb and gutter, sidewalks, and water and
sewer utilities. Additionally, all utilities for the proposed development must be installed in
accordance with the standards specified in UDC 11-3A-21.
