GURA Mission Statement: To implement urban renewal projects, consistent with community values, that: • Improve the community’s physical presence within each project; • Promote each project’s desired character, and • Contribute to the economic stability and vitality of each project. Memorandum
To: GURA Board of Commissioners From: Steve Glueck, Executive Director Date: April 9, 2014 RE: Meeting Memo for April 14, 2014 meeting
This memo will provide background information on selected items to be discussed at the upcoming GURA meeting.
V.4.a. 8th Street Apartments Urban Renewal Project. The “West 8th Apartment” project is nearing completion with the occupancy of the western building in the next several weeks and the completion of the east building and clubhouse by this summer. Based upon the terms of the Owner Participation/Redevelopment Agreement, the next steps will include certification of completion of the basic and additional items required by the Agreement, as well as documentation of actual costs. The agreement also provides that the first TIF rebate is to be based upon the property tax year when the project is complete. According to the County Assessor, the 2014 assessed value of the project will be the valuation as of January 1, 2014, when the project was only about 1/3 to ½ complete. Accordingly, the first year of full increment and the first payment to the project will be the 2015 tax year, collected and partially rebated in 2016. Although the 2014 valuation is not yet known, there should be some level of property tax increment directed to GURA. While the board has adopted policies for the division of increment to the general fund and the special project fund, in this specific case it will be necessary for the board to determine how much of the increment to use for operations, and how much to use to fully or partially repay the loan from the downtown fund for establishment of the project URA plan.
V.4.b. Natural Grocers Project. The Natural Grocers project, within the Central Neighborhoods URA project is moving closer to construction with concurrent City review of the building permit plans and Council review of a final plat to adjust lot lines. In terms of the GURA agreement, the final steps are the execution of the façade and community garden leases. As noted in March, the developer has proposed that the community garden lease terms would be simplified by adding the Denver Urban Gardens (DUG) (as non-profit operator with a local committee) as a party to the lease. DUG is also the leaseholder for the Golden community garden near the City recreation center. The final version of the three party lease was referred for comment to Commissioner Gould as the most involved with that aspect. Staff and Commissioner Gould will update the board regarding whether there are any issues requiring board concurrence before execution of the leases.
Assuming a construction start later this spring, there will be no 2014 property tax year (2015 collection) increment for use by GURA or to begin property tax TIF rebates in 2015, however, it is expected that the sales tax increment and rebates will begin early in 2015. In this fashion, year one of the sales tax portion of the agreement will be 2015 and year one payments under the property tax portion of the agreement will occur in 2016.
1
V.4.c. Lots 2 and 4. ARES representatives continue to pursue ways to comply with parking requirements as the City’s parking study proceeds. There is no specific update.
V.4.d Banks Gate to Parking Structure. Staff has reviewed the situation near Prospectors Alley whereby the gate from the few spaces within the parking structure assigned for use by the Banks Agency property is not allowed to be locked by the City Fire Marshall and, as an unlocked gate, tends to facilitate trespass by the general public across land owned by the Banks family. Unfortunately, there do not appear to be physical solutions to the situation (under the current agreement) that do not involve the removal of a parking space. Such ideas could include creating a fenced corridor directing users to the alley so that they do not cross the private property. This could occur from the current gate location, or for a much higher cost could involve relocating the gate and exit. The creation of a defined path from the gate to the alley would be affordable for GURA, but the loss of a parking space is likely not desirable for the Banks’ property. Staff is beginning to think that the most effective solution may be a renegotiation of the agreement if the property owner pursues a redevelopment of the property, perhaps converting the designated spaces in the structure to undesignated public spaces, with “cash in lieu” credit for the project. Discussions with the property owner should continue.
V.4.e. City Cooperation Agreement. City Council reviewed the various agreements among the City, GURA, and DDA in recent weeks. City Council reviewed the co-operation agreements on April 10th, and was expected to approve them as written. At this time, it is appropriate for the GURA board to approve the agreement by the attached Resolution.
V.4.f. Miners Alley and Washington Ave Projects. There is progress to report for each of these projects, however, no specific construction schedule. As the board will recall, you authorized up to $150,000 for Miners Alley repaving in March. In recent weeks, the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District has expressed strong support for choosing this location for their pilot project to evaluate porous block pavers that would best address our drainage concerns and provide a very attractive surface for both vehicular and pedestrian/business use, at a lower cost to GURA. In addition, City Public Works staff has asked to slow down the construction schedule due to heavy workload demands from private development and public projects. For this reason, the schedule for Council to authorize the change order to the City concrete contractor was delayed from April 10th to at least April 24th. Staff hopes to have additional information by the meeting.
The preliminary design work for the Washington Avenue from 14th to 18th Streets project continues with more detail to impacts of the vertical grade going up to 15th Street on the parking design for the first part of the block from 15th to 16th. Staff will present a sketch of current ideas at the meeting.
City Council did discuss the repaving project from 11th to 13th Streets on March 20th and determined that a final funding decision will be made in late summer or early fall (as better cost and revenue information becomes available) but that Council’s first choice is the flex space option that GURA agreed to partially fund in March, and that Council was thankful for the board position on “tactical urbanism” and the need to fund and install amenities to demonstrate the use of such flex space.
V.4.g. Review DDA Status and Board. City Council made appointments to the DDA board on March 20th, including four members of the prior downtown development task force. Staff is currently assembling information for the board to begin their process. The first scheduled meeting is April 21, 2014 (and it is expected that the board will continue meeting on the third Monday of the
2 month for regular meetings). In addition to electing officers and approving by-laws etc, the Board will begin to review documents related to their obligation to present a “Downtown Development Plan” to Planning Commission and City Council by fall. It will be necessary to address the GURA funding agreement with the DDA in coming months as well. The GURA board had suggested a joint meeting that could occur in May or June.
V.4.h. URA Legislation Update. As of the first week of April, a draft of a bill regarding urban renewal is circulating at the legislature. It has two main elements of concern. If enacted as currently drafted, it would require urban renewal authorities that adopt new urban renewal plans after the effective date (assumed to be August 2014) to include a board member appointed by the Board of County Commissioners in addition to the City Council appointed board members. The second element of the bill would limit the percentage of the property tax increment available to the URA to the percentage of sales tax increment pledged by the municipality, unless a separate agreement is reached with an individual taxing authority (such as the county or school district). While concerning, neither change would affect Golden unless another plan area is proposed, and even then may not prevent good URA projects. As of this writing, the bill has not formally been introduced. An update will be provided at the meeting.
VI.1. 5 Energy Efficiency/Tenant Improvements Grant request from 5 Star Bakery Company. Recently, the owners of the Windy Saddle Café announced that they have leased the prior dry cleaners space on 12th Street next to Miners Alley for a bakery under the name of “5 Star Bakery”. Pursuant to our energy efficiency grant program, the attached materials have been submitted identifying significant electrical and lighting upgrades as encouraged under the program. The cost estimate for these efficiency improvements is about $14,545.00 - $17,750.00. Based upon the total replacement of lighting alone, it clearly qualifies for the $2,500 energy efficiency grant, and is recommended by staff. In addition, if the board is particularly interested in encouraging the tenant renovations and improvements, the Board could consider a sales tax TIF agreement for the balance of this year (with the assumption that the business may ask the DDA to grant a short term extension of the agreement). Staff requests that the board discuss the details of the benefit of the proposed business and whether to consider any assistance beyond the standard energy efficiency grant. (The ongoing grant summary table is again attached)
VI.1. 5 Patio Grant Request from Blue Canyon/Foss Building. Also new in recent weeks is a proposal from the owners of the Foss Building and the Blue Canyon Bar and Grill to allow them to implement one of the ideas in the 2013 streetscape planning draft report to remove a portion of the planter at 13th and Washington and add restaurant seating for some or all of the year. City Council will discuss the idea on April 10th, however, there is no way to predict whether Council will take action, or what that action may be. Staff expects a good amount of discussion about the design itself, but also about letting the business take over the newly created public space. In the event that Council permits the change, the building owner (who would be handling the reconstruction) would welcome GURA support. One initial uncertainty is that it is very difficult to predict demolition costs and the cost and effort to achieve the design which retains the south end and east wall of the planter, but removes the north end and a substantial area of solid concrete. It may not be possible to design the reconstruction details at the interface of the removed and retained portions until after demolition. If Council approves the request, and the board also supports to project purpose, a discussion of whether GURA is conceptually inclined to participate financially is requested. In that event, further conversation about the overall costs and level of support could proceed.
3 VI.1. 5 Grant Request from Golden Gallop. As noted in the overall grant summary, the GURA board authorized $2,500.00 grant funding for the Golden Gallop fund raising event in 2013. The event is a community level event that allows the Golden Schools Foundation to support local schools. While the event brings visitors and locals out to the area and may benefit downtown, the direct benefit appears limited. Staff recommends no contribution or measurably less than the prior approval.
VIII. Staff Report. A few other updates for the board’s information include:
• The annual audit is proceeding. The audit team received several documents and spent a portion of the week of April 7th at the office. We now have a final (or mostly final) revenue and expense budget report for the end of 2013 as attached. It shows anticipated levels and the substantial reserve balance in the downtown special fund, as predicted. Staff will send a more formal 2014 first quarter budget report with the next meeting agenda.
• The West Colfax URA Plan approval process remains on schedule, with City Council consideration scheduled for April 24th. Following that action, the only remaining step is the formal notice to the County shortly thereafter. There is some indication of an early request for an Owner Participation Agreement for the 12 acre industrial parcel referred to as “Area 4” in the land use and design part of the plan. Progress to start a light industrial project in this area later this year would be very positive.
• A Miners Alley Better Block project planning meeting, primarily for area businesses and property owners is scheduled for Thursday April 17, 2014 at 3 PM at 12th Street and Miners Alley. Board members are also invited to attend (and volunteer).
• The Golden Moon Speakeasy has been operational for a few months, and is now proceeding with the start of the Miners Alley façade and seating project. A building permit is under review for the roll up door to open the tenant space to the narrow outside area facing the alley. The loan advance for the code upgrades was made, and sales tax is being tracked to calculate partial forgiveness of the loan.

The Board returned to the regular agenda order.
Discussion/action regarding Miner’s Alley Paving Project – Glueck received a $150,000.00 cost estimate for the colored concrete that would be used in the Miner’s Alley Paving Project. He explained the changes that would happen to the Miner’s Alley Paving Project. He also informed the Board about a pilot program using porous concrete block proposed by Urban Drainage. He suggested moving forward with the paving project for this spring not to exceed $150,000.00 unless the black pavers project will be a better solution presented in the next couple of weeks. A discussion ensued followed by a question and answer period. Miller MOVED to give Glueck the authority to move forward with the concrete version of the Miner’s Alley Paving Project with authorization to spend up to $150,000.00 unless he presents another idea. Story SECONDED. Commissioner Eakes has concerns about the price increasing. A brief discussion ensued. All Commissioners present agreed.
The Board took a 2-minute break at 8:25 p.m.
Discussion regarding Washington Avenue projects update – Glueck updated the Board on the Washington Avenue project. The base material for the section south of 14th Street has not been delivered to Glueck yet. City Council will discuss whether they are in favor of the option A flex space for the 11th to 13th section on march 20th. If GURA makes a definitive decision on whether or not GURA is in favor of option A, then Glueck will pass it on to City Council at their March 20th meeting. Glueck suggest that GURA commit $600,000.00 - $800,000.00, but state that GURA’s top priorities are the Miners Alley Project and Washington Avenue from 14th Street to 18th Street. A discussion ensued on City Council’s views and what GURA would like to do. Commissioner Miller explained “Tactical Urbanism” to the Board. He feels that this would give everyone another view of downtown Golden. A detailed discussion ensued on tactical urbanism followed by a discussion on patios along Washington Avenue and flex space. Commissioner Miller asked Fejarang to email tactical urbanism information to the Board members. The Board would like to approach City Council with interesting out of the box ideas for downtown Golden space. Following are ideas for spending in the flex space:
The Golden Urban Renewal Authority 4/9/2014 - 2 -

The Board directed Glueck to approach City Council with the flex space idea.
Discussion regarding Comprehensive Parking Study – Glueck updated the Board on the Comprehensive Parking Study. The request is for $20,000.00 for the study. A detailed discussion ensued.

Discussion regarding Colfax Urban Renewal Plan – Glueck informed the Board that the Colfax Urban Renewal Plan is on the City of Golden’s MindMixer web page and has been placed on the i-neighbors for ideas for the sidewalk.
Discussion/action regarding Patio Policy – Patio Policy will be discussed at the next GURA meeting.

Dear GURA Board of Commissioners,
Thank you for considering 5 Star Baking Company for the GURA energy grant. Below, we have briefly described our new bakery in downtown Golden and our plan for creating an energy efficient/green business.
5 Star Baking Company will be situated at 811 12th Street. Currently, the space is unoccupied. Within the next couple weeks, we will be starting the tenant improvements to the space. Because the space was left in very poor condition, we will be replacing or adding all lighting fixtures, HVAC, electrical, bathroom fixtures, exit signs, repairing holes and cracks in the walls, doors and roof in an effort to create a green business from day one. We have joined the Energy Star for Small Business program hope to make use of the DOE Rebuild America program.
Currently, we have two bids on the table for the electrical improvements. We can provide a copy of these bids if necessary. The bids range from $14,545-17,750. This does not include service upgrades, retail light fixtures, phone/data outlets, fire alarms and permit fees, amongst other things noted in the bid. In addition, it does not include water-saving fixtures for bathroom and kitchen area, HVAC equipment or other Energy Star equipment necessary to run the bakery. In addition to the electrical plan, also have also created a list of repairs for our contractors, which are necessary for energy efficiency.
Preliminary goals for 811 12th St. (not listed in order of importance): 1. Install all new energy efficient lighting fixtures and bulbs (CFL/LED) for retail, kitchen, storage, and bathroom areas 2. Install LED exit signs (3) 3. Install new Energy Star HVAC 4. Plug and fill cracks around windows, doors, switches, outlets, and roof. 5. Install blinds on west facing windows to control heat in warm months 6. Put a system in place to regularly maintain all equipment (use of thermometers, clean filters, repair seals, program thermostats, program times shut off of equipment not in use, etc.) 7. Install ceiling fans for air circulation 8. Purchase Energy Star rated equipment where possible 9. Install water-saving toilets and faucets 10. Provide recycling receptacles in kitchen and retail areas. Recycle all possible materials. 11. Use biodegradable packaging and products where possible. 12. Replace/add insulation 13. Stay connected with business support organizations for possible future improvements.
Sincerely, DeAnn Wieber, March 17, 2014
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO
AGENDA DATE: April 10, 2014 REPORT DATE: April 2, 2014
APPLICANT: Mesa Meadows land Co. and Blue Canyon Bar and Grill
REQUESTED Amended Outdoor Sales and Display Permit for outdoor seating, ACTION: And change to City streetscape
EXHIBITS: Resolution No. 2336 Vicinity Photos Chapter 4.90 Resolution No. 2057 Applicant Letter Site Plan Sketch 2013 Streetscape Plan excerpt re planters
PURPOSE OF AGENDA ITEM: This item appears before Council based upon a request from a property owner and business owner to consider an alteration to an element of the downtown streetscape and an associated change to an approved public sidewalk sales and display (outdoor seating) permit. Council will discuss the request and may provide direction.
BACKGROUND: Both the City’s downtown streetscape and the municipal code section related to sidewalk seating permits date to 1992. At that time when the new streetscape was under construction, City Council recognized the desirability of allowing certain private use of the downtown sidewalk areas, and enacted Chapter 4.90, creating a permit process. Several permits were issued and seating areas created in the 1990’s and then again from about 2005-2010.
In recent years after physical changes to the City infrastructure at Indulge, Table Mountain Inn, and Woody’s, and some additional suggested changes, Council in late 2012 directed staff to present a potential vision for future changes and evolution of the downtown streetscape. A consultant based community design process occurred in 2013, and a draft report was presented to Council in Fall 2013. This draft report has been discussed but not formally approved, but has generated several interesting design discussions. Among the ongoing design discussions are the Washington Avenue options A-D, the 14th – 18th Street Washington Avenue streetscape extension, and possible changes to one or more of the downtown planters.
CURRENT REQUEST: Council may recall that the sidewalk seating permit for the current location of the Blue Canyon Bar & Grill did not include alcohol sales and consumption due to the limited sidewalk width, and inability to reasonably provide a contained seating area. In 2012, the Blue Canyon business owners conceptually proposed options including a second story balcony over the public sidewalk and the removal of the planter in front of the Foss Building. These suggestions helped stimulate the community design discussions.
At this time, the Foss Building owner and Blue Canyon Bar and Grill owner have submitted the attached letter and sketch asking Council to authorize a change to the planter at the northwest corner of 13th & Washington in a manner consistent with one of the design ideas presented in the draft streetscape design report. These owners are not asking the city to fund the physical change, but will likely be seeking GURA financial support, if the design change is approved by Council. The property and business owner are also requesting that, if the planter change is supported, Council also approve a change to the current seating permit.
DESIGN COMMENTS: The current proposal presents a question and opportunity that Council may or may not be ready to address at this time. A few points to consider:
• The question of whether there may be a desirable alternative use of space for the current planter areas was initially raised by City Council at the start of the 2012 discussion. That initial discussion included the fact that the planters take up a lot of room, that might be otherwise utilized, but that they are well liked by many folks, and are handy seating areas for parades and events. It was also noted that we are not totally certain about the level of effort (and cost) necessary to alter or partially remove them. • As a result of the above, the 2013 streetscape project did include discussions of possible changes to the planters. Three concepts were presented ranging from full to partial removal of the planter for either additional outdoor seating, or general public space. Community input on the ideas was mixed, with about half the comments opposed to any changes and half generally supporting the conceptual designs (attached at the end of this packet). • The proposed design is essentially the middle version (labeled Option B on the streetscape plan excerpt) where the south end of the planter (closest to 13th Street) and the wall along the street would remain and the north end and wall closest to the building would be removed. The entire area would be resurfaced as brick pavers, creating a larger open area. • Concurrently, however, the request is to allow the newly created space plus the brick paver area north of where Peak Cycles displays bicycles to be converted (at least seasonally) to outdoor seating for the Blue Canyon operation. This approval would still leave a generous sidewalk under the covered overhang in excess of the minimum horizontal clearance, due to the extra width on the west side.
POLICY COMMENTS: There are several policy questions inherent in this request. A few of them include the following:
Page 2 of 5
• Is now the time to authorize a change to one of the planters – a very visible part of the public spaces. Staff has believed that there is enough variation in the individual corners to support trying some changes, but it is unlikely that the planter would ever be replaced if removed. • Dedicated use vs public space; It is difficult to estimate the cost of demolition for part of the planter and the masonry reconstruction to achieve the proposed area, however, not surprisingly, the business and property owner do not wish to invest in the streetscape alteration without (at least) a defined period of exclusive use each year. Conversely, there has been some discussion in recent years both by Council and the GURA board recognizing that our public spaces are just that and that the streetscape areas are not just for restaurant seating. Is Council inclined to consider this type of request, gaining the atmosphere and vitality of desirable space, but allowing it to be treated as the exclusive use of the adjacent business (at least part of the time)?
CODE PROVISIONS
Since City Council does not handle such requests regularly, the relevant code chapter is reprinted in total. City Council should particularly note the following sections:
• Section 4.90.060 indicates that permits issued under the Chapter are limited to the sale of food and beverages.
• Section 4.90.060(c) contains minimum clearances for sidewalk areas. The standard for this area is six (6) feet.
• Section 4.90.040(e) addresses the use of sidewalks for temporary display by retail merchants without a permit. This section authorizes “limited display of items offered for sale by the adjacent retail establishment, and only when in conformance with the minimum clearances listed in Section 4.90.060(c), and not to exceed one square foot of display area for each one linear foot of store frontage on a street, provided that the maximum display area for any store will be fifty (50) square feet.” This is the section that relates to the adjacent business’ display of bicycles.
STAFF COMMENTS
As noted above, the municipal code chapter to regulate the use of public sidewalks in the downtown area was first enacted in 1992 at the time of the construction of the downtown streetscape. It is intended to provide reasonable economic use of the sidewalk areas and encourage downtown vitality while preserving the pedestrian access functions of the sidewalk areas. An initial request at this location was considered and eventually approved in May 2010, but without alcohol service due to the limited area and difficulty creating a defined premise. Notable concerns with the location were primarily based upon the fact that the Blue Canyon is clearly a late night use, which had already raised noise concerns about persons on the sidewalk
Page 3 of 5 smoking and at closing time. With the restriction of hours (10 PM closing) attached to the current sidewalk seating approval, the seating area has not appeared to increase the periodic neighbor concerns about noise and behavior later in the evening.
Staff’s primary concern with the new proposal is that the combination of proposed seating and current bike display creates a de facto exclusive use for the two businesses when Council seems to be looking to create more “public spaces” within this public infrastructure area.
RESOLUTION LANGUAGE AND OPTIONS
Most recent seating permit requests include additional conditions beyond the municipal code minimums. The 2010 approval (attached) for this area includes a 10 o’clock closing time for the sidewalk seating and a prohibition against exterior music or loudspeakers similar to the restrictions at Indulge. The attached new Resolution maintains these restrictions and adds the following suggested condition for Council consideration.
• Demolition and construction plans for the planter must be approved by both the City Engineer and Chief Building Official, prior to the start of work. • The railing for the enclosed seating area shall be free-standing such that it can be removed when the seating area is not in use. • If feasible, permanent seating shall be included along the retained street side planter wall for general use when the restaurant seating is not in use. • The approval is only valid from April 1st to October 31st annually. For the balance of the year the defined seating area railing will be removed and the space made available for other public uses. • The building owner will work with the Peak Cycles business to reduce the amount of bicycle display for the months when restaurant seating is not occurring to further increase the available public space.
Accordingly, while Resolution 2336 has been drafted for a approval of the proposed use, Council has several actions:
• If Council does not support the project as presented, Resolution 2336 should be defeated.
• If Council supports the project as requested, Council may wish to consider the resolution as written.
• Council should also consider the need for any additional conditions.
Staff will be happy to address any further questions at or before the meeting. Council will note that the action under Chapter 4.90 does not include a public hearing.

Dear GURA Board of Directors,
Thank you for your 2013 sponsorship of the Golden Gallop. Your support of $2,500 was invaluable to making the race a success. The 2013 Gallop saw a significant increase in numbers with almost 900 participants and approximately 200 volunteers. Downtown Golden was bursting with runners, walkers, volunteers, parents, children and School of Mines’ students. We are now seeking sponsors for the 2014 Golden Gallop.
With funds raised from the 2013 Gallop, the Golden Schools Foundation continued its mission to promote improvement in student achievements and teaching excellence through collaboration, innovation, and strategic investment. This year the Golden Schools Foundation provided enrichment grants to Golden area schools to encourage k-12 programs in science, technology, engineering and math. Grants were awarded to support robotics programs, techbooks, iPads, computer math programs and science packages. In addition. the Golden Schools Foundation rewarded and encouraged excellence in teaching through its 2013 Golden Teacher Recognition Awards. We hope to continue these programs and more in 2015.
Please consider continuing your sponsorship of the Golden Gallop. The Gallop is a fantastic community event and Golden's premier running event. On September 28, 2014, the Gallop will offer a 10k, 5k and an expanded kid’s fun run. The race will start beneath the City of Golden's famous "Welcome" arch in the center of historic downtown Golden and finish in leafy Parfet Park beside the rushing Clear Creek. For more information on the race, please visit www.goldengallop.com.
All funds raised at the race will benefit Golden's local neighborhood schools including Kyffin, Mitchell, Shelton, Welchester, Pleasant View, Ralston, Bell Middle and Golden High. The Golden Schools Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) and 100% volunteer based. We have many sponsorship opportunities and are willing to discuss any sponsorship level in which you are interested. We are open to discussing ways we can promote your business.
Please make checks payable to Golden Schools Foundation and mail sponsorship monies to Golden Schools Foundation P.O. Box 17311 Golden, Colorado 80402. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for your consideration.
