Introduction In 2016, RTD will open 62 miles of new light rail in the region. This dramatic expansion opens significant opportunities for development near stations along these new lines. The development that takes place around transit stations is most successful if it includes a range of housing options, including affordable housing, and community serving facilities, like quality child care centers, places to access healthy food, and services to support residents.1
Affordable housing and community benefit commercial uses are critical to combating displacement and enhance the quality of life for all residents in the region. In order to better understand what specific opportunities exist for development of community facilities, Mile High Connects contracted with Denver Shared Spaces to complete a Community Facility Scan in 2015. The scan was confined to Mile High Connects’ focus geographies: A (East)/R (I-225) Lines: 40th & Colorado, Peoria, Fitzsimons, and Colfax Stations G (Gold)/B (Northwest) Lines: 41st & Fox, Pecos Junction, Clear Creek-Federal, and Westminster Neighborhoods surrounding the W (West) Line: Sun Valley, West Colfax, Villa Park, Westwood
The scan draws together multiple sources of information to understand the implications for community- benefit commercial development along transit. The intent of this exploration was not to provide an exhaustive analysis of each focus area. Rather, the resulting analysis profiles each station area or neighborhood, draws out assets and gaps, and identifies specific recommendations for commercial uses that would best complement the communities surrounding each station area.
Method The methodology used for the scan included the following components: Document review of existing development plans, research publications, and market studies covering the focus areas o Findings and recommendations were synthesized with the specific filter of implications for commercial uses; complete list of documents reviewed in Appendix A. Development and analysis of ArcGIS Story Map for each focus area in partnership with the Data Initiative at Gary Community Investments; accessible at the link below2 Development of Community Benefit Org Catalog based on Colorado Secretary of State 990 data o Filtered record based on financial criteria, and sorted using zip code into the three target corridors. Resulting list included ~360 nonprofits located in and around the areas of interest to this study. Each record reviewed for: proximity to focus station areas, type of programming, space needs, and foot traffic. Accessible via the link below.3 Interviews with nonprofits serving residents in the three focus geographies o Nonprofits interviewed represent well-respected organizations with a track record of community-based work.

A & R Focus Area Summary Taken together, this focus area differs from the 7 County Metro average in several important ways. Broadly, the neighborhoods impacted by the development of the A and R lines are well-below the average household income for the region, have a higher percentage of immigrant families, slightly more residents over 65 and under 5, and a higher percentage of households below 100% of Area Median Income.6 This is true even when including Denver’s Stapleton neighborhood, an outlier on these indicators compared to all other neighborhoods impacted by the A and R lines.7 Northwest Aurora is the area of the city with the most diverse population.8 The variety of population characteristics decreases further south and east toward the urban edge. Both the A and R lines will provide connectivity for residents of Aurora and Denver to major activity centers like the Downtown Denver, Aurora City Center, Anschutz Medical Campus, and Denver International Airport. The lines comprise a range of station types. 40th & Colorado Station Station Area Profile Mix of industrial and residential Connectivity issues abound in this station area. Street grid is discontinuous and infrastructure for walkability is limited Compared to the Metro Average, residents have9: Significantly lower average income Lower levels of educational attainment Higher rates of children living in poverty More than double the unemployment rate

2015 Community Facility Scan │ 4 Existing Community Facilities + Assets There is only one nonprofit within the ½ mile TOD shed – Project Angel Heart. While this facility is within ½ mile, the barriers to walkability make it difficult to access from the station area. There are 4 additional nonprofits located just under a mile from the station, as well as a variety of other resources. If the lens is expanded to just over a mile from the station, you will find a much greater variety of organizations for community benefit. The map to the left, pulled from the Story Map, shows the health and recreation facilities, public libraries, and childcare centers within ~1 mile of the station. Residents likely travel outside the neighborhood to access needed services. Appendix B contains the Figure 1 - Legend: Medical Facility (Black Cross), Recreational Facility (Orange Diamond), Public Library (Black Pushpin), Childcare Center (Blue Star) Community Benefit Org Catalog, a database of all nonprofits in the vicinity of each station area. Northeast Park Hill has a strong track network of long-time residents and newer networks for community advocacy. In addition, both Northeast Park Hill and Clayton are home to long-standing, well- respected nonprofit partners and faith communities. These community institutions can support a framework for partnership and intentional development.

Gaps 40th & Colorado lacks basically any community benefit facilities within the ½ mile TOD area. Each neighborhood surrounding the station has access to some measure of childcare, education, youth development, and employment supportive organizations. However, given the comparatively lower income, education, and employment rates of the surrounding neighborhood, this suggests significant gaps in the provision of supportive services and amenities focused on these metrics. If the intent is to develop this station area into a hub for employment and commercial activity, developers will need to be

Development Activity and Planning To the right is Denver’s characterization of this station area. Despite being categorized as “low” development opportunity, there has been significant development activity ahead of the 2016 opening. The Urban Land Conservancy has initiated the phased development of 9 acres adjacent to the rail line. The first phase is nearing completion with 156 affordable housing units opening in early 2016. The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is nearing completion of the Renaissance at North Colorado Station, which includes 103 units of supportive and affordable housing. Denver’s Elyria-Swansea Neighborhood Plan expanded on the development recommendations in the TOD Strategic Plan. Specific to this investigation, this plan Figure 2 - Station area analysis from City and County of Denver TOD Strategic Plan highlights the following priorities: Vision: Unique, Strong, Connected, and Healthy Elyria-Swansea New commercial space for new or expanding businesses, jobs, retail and services Infill development of light industrial flex buildings that are configured in a walkable setting Recommendations and Opportunities The need for additional health, education, and employment amenities is clear, if the vision for this station area is to be achieved. The City and County of Denver specifically call out opportunities for adaptive reuse of the light industrial properties to attract manufacturing, distribution, and research businesses. This analysis indicates that this should be just one part of the redevelopment strategy. Based on the gaps and opportunities in this area, we recommend the following strategies and uses.

2015 Community Facility Scan │ 6 Peoria Station (Peoria St & Smith Rd) Station Area Profile Compared to Aurora and Denver average, residents: Are slightly younger Have larger households Have lower levels of educational attainment Have lower average income Are slightly more likely to be foreign-born Peoria Station is situated in Aurora, and is bordered to the north by Denver’s Montbello neighborhood. There is growing resident and business engagement in Montbello and in Aurora’s Morris Heights southeast of the station area. When compared to all neighborhoods surrounding this station area, Montbello has the highest percentage of non-English speaking residents (25% in 201310). This reinforces the importance of retaining and recruiting culturally competent businesses and organizations to this station area. It is important to note, much like 40th & Colorado, Stapleton is one of the neighborhoods in the Peoria Station Area. The demographics of this neighborhood are incongruous with those of the other neighborhoods in the area, and skew the analysis. For example, the average household income in Stapleton is $133,000, while the average household income in North Aurora is $55,600. Existing Community Facilities + Assets Metro Community Providers Network has one clinic location within the TOD shed for Peoria station. A mile radius from the station pulls in several more healthcare, recreational, and childcare providers, as can be seen in the map to the left. There are about 20 total community serving entities in the vicinity, according to the Catalog. Organizations serving this market area focus on healthcare, mental health, wraparound family support, community engagement, and childcare. An additional community asset is the Sand Creek Park and Greenway, just outside the ½ mile TOD. Figure 3 - Legend: Medical Facility (Black Cross), Recreational Facility (Orange Diamond), Public Library (Black Pushpin), Childcare Center (Blue Star) The neighborhoods surrounding this station area, specifically Montbello and Morris Heights, have seen increasing levels of resident engagement in organizing, advocacy, and planning efforts. In addition, these communities are rich in ethnic and racial diversity. In addition, there are a number of vibrant faith communities that are anchors in the surrounding communities.

Development Activity and Planning Denver’s TOD Strategic Plan characterized as a Suburban/Innovation TOD with “medium” development potential. The City of Aurora also adopted a plan focused on Peoria Station that intends to redevelop it as a catalytic site. The long-term vision is to transition this largely-industrial area to a “compact, mixed-use employment center that capitalizes on its proximity to the station and residential areas.”11 The City of Aurora is currently improving the sidewalks and bike lanes ahead of the A Line opening. Other than this infrastructure improvement, there is little development activity happening now. Aurora Housing Authority is in the planning phase of a new affordable housing development within the TOD shed. Though that project is ~2 years from completion, it is planned to include commercial space leased to community benefitting commercial tenants. Figure 4 - Station area analysis from City and County of Denver TOD Strategic Plan Gaps + Challenges This station area has little in the way of employment supports, education, or community development. There are few providers located in or near the TOD, and most community-based services being provided to the community are from nonprofits based outside. And while Denver residents have relatively convenient access to the East Office of Denver Human Services, Aurora residents in this area are a significant distance from City of Aurora services, police department, and other government offices. Despite the fact that a significant portion of residents are newcomers and/or non-English speaking, there are relatively few supportive services located in the immediate area. At this time, the station area has limited affordable office space which likely reinforces the limited presence of community benefit organizations. There are connectivity challenges associated with this station area. Currently, there is little pedestrian or bicycle infrastructure to promote access to the neighborhoods north and south of the station area.

Fitzsimons Station (Fitzsimons Pkwy & Peoria St)/Colfax (Colfax Ave & Fitzsimons Pkwy) Station Area Profile Analysis of these two station areas is combined as they share a primary focal point: the Anschutz Medical Campus. Fitzsimons station is situated with Stapleton to the west, Anschutz Medical Campus and the Fitzsimons Innovation District to the south, and the Sand Creek Greenway and North Aurora neighborhoods to the north. Colfax Station will be elevated, providing pedestrian access over Colfax Ave. This station is on the south side of Anschutz Medical Campus, with residential neighborhoods to the south and east of the station area.
The Stapleton neighborhood is within this station area. As highlighted previously, this neighborhood has significantly higher annual income, fewer residents of color, and higher educational attainment as compared to the other neighborhoods in this station area. Residents north of the Sand Creek Greenway and south/east of Anschutz have annual incomes at just over half the Metro average, with higher unemployment rates than the Metro average. In addition, these neighborhoods are generally more racially and ethnically diverse, with upwards of 135 language spoken.
Existing Community Facilities + Assets The most significant existing community facilities are those related to the Anschutz Medical Campus, one of the largest medical and bioscience developments in the country.12 As such, it is not surprising that nearly all the nonprofits located within these two TODs are healthcare-focused. In addition to
12 City of Aurora, https://www.auroragov.org/DoingBusiness/CityPlanning/Transit- orientedDevelopment/Fitzsimons/index.htm
2015 Community Facility Scan │ 9 health-related nonprofits, there are also a number of childcare centers within the TOD shed. Outside of these two groups of community providers, there are very few community facilities or providers of any kind within a mile of either station. The Campus itself is well-positioned to view itself as an anchor institution, using procurement, training, and hiring mechanisms to drive economic growth for the immediate neighborhoods and businesses.
Equity Indicators Health Education Employment While availability of healthcare The Education Index is Very This station area has the highest facilities is extremely high, the Data Low for this area, and all potential for middle skill jobs among all Initiative’s Health Index for the schools within a mile have 80% in the scope of this study.

Campus. Development Activity and Planning The City of Aurora completed initial station area planning in 2009, called the Fitzsimons-Colfax and 13th Station Area Plan. A new Fitzsimons Parkway Station Area Plan is underway that will expand upon the original concepts. Development of the station area coincides with that of the Anschutz Medical Campus and the Fitzsimons Innovation District. This area is conceived of as an employment center, and is planned to have ~45,000 employees working in the TOD when complete. Approximately 150 acres of developable land is owned by the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority (FRA). The FRA has an existing master plan for their property, and currently the City’s new planning process will coincide with this master plan. Colfax Station Area is envisioned as a higher density residential and office-use opportunity. Development activity is largely confined to the Medical Campus at this time, although there has been new residential development near the station area in the past two years.
Gaps + Challenges There is currently little permeability between the residential neighborhoods and the Anschutz Medical Campus. This tends to silo resources available on campus from residents in the surrounding neighborhoods. There is little infrastructure for local neighborhood organizing and advocacy. There are also relatively fewer youth development nonprofits and facilities as compared to elsewhere in this study area. While availability of healthcare facilities is extremely high, health outcomes are rated as low.
2015 Community Facility Scan │ 10 Recommendations and Opportunities Given the proximity of the stations to Anschutz Medical Campus and the planned Fitzsimons Innovation District, it is clear that these rail stations could bring significant opportunity, connectivity into the surrounding neighborhoods.

Mile High Connects prioritized Sun Valley, Villa Park, West Colfax, and Westwood as critical neighborhoods to examine and identify opportunities to support. The residents of these neighborhoods are predominantly Latino, with many bilingual Spanish-English or mono-lingual Spanish speakers. Each has strong neighborhood networks and grassroots advocacy groups that interface with development efforts in various ways. All four neighborhoods have been characterized by residents as “overlooked and neglected13 by the City.” In the years of planning for, building, and opening the West Line, these

Figure 6 - Sun Valley illustration from Decatur-Federal Station Area Plan, 2013 Station Area Profile When describing the context of Sun Valley, the leading descriptor is often that it’s the state’s poorest neighborhood. This is often followed by the characterization of the neighborhood as isolated, boxed in by industry, river, and highway. This is true. And in addition to these characteristics, the neighborhood is also home to a vibrant community of “children, single mothers, refugees, families who come and go, and families who have long called Sun Valley home.”14 Compared to the Metro average, residents in Sun Valley: Earn approximately one seventh the average annual income Are more likely to speak more than one language Are more likely to be born outside the US Are less likely to have a high school diploma or college degree Existing Community Facilities Compared to other neighborhoods and station areas in this study, Sun Valley is home to a large number of community facilities. As the map to the right indicates, there are several health clinics and childcare centers within the ½ mile TOD area. Through the analysis of the Catalog, there are also 17 nonprofit and public organizations within ½ mile, with 7 more within a mile of the station. These organizations provide a range of services and amenities Figure 7- Legend: Medical Facility (Black Cross), Recreational Facility (Orange that complement the needs and assets of the residents.

Development Activity and Planning Within the W Focus Area, the Decatur-Federal Station Area – and the Sun Valley neighborhood in which it is located – has received the most and most recent planning attention. Through a comprehensive planning process, the City and County of Denver approved the Decatur-Federal Station Area plan in 2013. This visionary plan set the stage for additional studies, planning, and analysis. At this time, the Denver Housing Authority, one of several primary landowners in the neighborhood, is in the midst of master site planning for the phased redevelopment of the Sun Valley Homes. Once DHA secures funding for this process, the intent is to triple the density of residential housing by adding workforce and market rate units. Additionally, DHA plans to include significant first floor commercial space within the master plan. Other landowners in the neighborhood include Xcel, the City and County of Denver, and the Stadium District. Gaps + Challenges Although this neighborhood is resource-rich, the residents of Sun Valley still experience significant challenges across health, education, and employment indicators. One of the main challenges highlighted by this scan is the mismatch between skills/education/interest of job seekers in Sun Valley with the jobs present in the neighborhood. Additionally, the population density and limited accessibility to the Figure 8 - Station area analysis from City and County of Denver TOD Strategic Plan

Increasing the density of the residential areas, bringing in additional business and nonprofit employers, and improving the connectivity are all proposed approaches to address this gap. A third critical challenge is the low health index for residents in Sun Valley. Recommendations and Opportunities The Denver TOD Strategic Plan labels this area as having “high” development potential. This analysis supports that assessment, as it relates to community-benefit commercial development. It is clear that housing affordability, quality, density, and diversity are all critical components of the redevelopment. However, the demand for intentional, community facilities as another piece of the redevelopment effort is equally clear. We recommend the following strategies be considered.

2015 Community Facility Scan │ 15 Gaps + Challenges As West Colfax continues to undergo redevelopment, it is critical to consider key gaps within the community. The neighborhood has only one healthcare clinic, the West Side Health Center. This is the only clinic serving West Colfax and the 4 surrounding neighborhoods. While the economic health of the neighborhood is strong, especially compared to some surrounding areas, the high unemployment rate, low annual household income, and high percentage of low- wage jobs in the neighborhood suggest that there are gaps in employment and workforce supports. An additional area that is underrepresented in this neighborhood is arts and cultural facilities. These kinds of amenities support a vibrant community and can foster economic opportunity. Currently, there are no studios, performance spaces, “maker spaces”, or galleries in the neighborhood. Figure 9 - 3D Aerial Rendering of ULC's Mile High Vista site plan Development Activity and Planning West Colfax is seeing significant development activity as well as infrastructure improvements.

The commercial district provides an economic base for the community. To complement these strengths and address some of the challenges facing the residents of West Colfax, additional community-benefit development is recommended. Specifically, we suggest focusing on commercial uses that provide quality jobs, employment-supportive services, and locally-led arts and culture. Additional healthcare options, youth development, and childcare would also enhance the mix of services and amenities.

2015 Community Facility Scan │ 16 Villa Park Neighborhood Profile Bounded by Sheridan and Federal, Lakewood Dry Gulch and 6th Predominantly single-family homes, most built in the mid-1900s Few commercial uses or activity centers Demographics align with those of the surrounding neighborhoods The neighborhood has below-average percentage of owner occupied homes compared to the Metro. However, Latino homeownership – as a percentage of total owner-occupied units – is nearly 6 times that of the Metro average. Pride of ownership characterizes much of Villa Park. Homes and lawns are well-cared for, and there are many residents who have lived here for decades. The aging resident base in the neighborhood is coinciding with the spike in housing prices. As a result, the neighborhood is beginning to shift as long-time owners sell and new, mostly white, residents buy. This result is a rapid shift in age and ethnicity within the neighborhood. Existing Community Facilities Although there are few commercial activity centers in the neighborhood, Villa Park is home to several nonprofits and community facilities. Currently, there are 8 nonprofits in the neighborhood, with 10 additional nonprofits within 1 mile. These organizations provide a range of services and amenities, from youth development to affordable housing, mental healthcare to religious education. To see the full list, filter the Community Benefit Org Catalog to view the Knox, Perry, and Sheridan station areas. In addition to these providers, the Story Map16 highlights the following resources in the neighborhood: 2 schools with access to DPL’s Bookmobile No medical facilities 5 childcare centers, 2 of which are ECE programs No recreational facilities or youth development in the neighborhood Equity Indicators Health Education Employment There are no healthcare facilities Education indicators for the The Economic Index for the in the neighborhood, aside from neighborhood are less- neighborhood is Moderate, with 3 dentists on Federal Blvd. This promising.

2015 Community Facility Scan │ 17 Development Activity and Planning The last City planning effort for Villa Park was completed in 1991. While the demographics reported in that plan have continued to shift, much of the neighborhood’s land use, density, and physical infrastructure remain the same. There has been no new commercial or multi-family development in the neighborhood in recent years. The two large-scale development efforts over the past 5 years are the W Line and the related improvements to Lakewood Dry Gulch. There have also been infrastructure improvements for bike access throughout the neighborhood. In addition to these large-scale changes, the neighborhood is seeing its first handful of residential scrape/new build projects. Gaps There are 3 gaps in community facilities and services that are important to note. The first to highlight is the lack of a neighborhood healthcare clinic. There are two main health clinics serving West Denver - the West End Health Center at 5050 W Colfax Ave and the Westwood Family Health Center at 4320 W Alaska Place. It may be that these are sufficient for the population, but this is an area to explore further. Another area for growth is in neighborhood-based youth development programming. While there are programs within 1 mile of the neighborhood, young people still have to leave the area to access these services. The final area to highlight is the limited neighborhood gathering spaces, aside from the schools and the nearby library. Local meeting and event spaces provide opportunities for neighbors to connect, celebrate, and grow. The neighborhood schools are great partners and make space available; however it could be beneficial to have additional community space within the neighborhood. Recommendations and Opportunities Villa Park’s residential character limits the options for creating additional community-benefit commercial space within the neighborhood. Whereas significant redevelopment projects are or will be underway in neighboring Sun Valley and West Colfax, little new development is being planned for Villa Park. That said, there are some recommended strategies for integrating community facilities into the residential fabric of the neighborhood

Gaps Most of the neighborhood experiences significant gaps in pedestrian infrastructure – incomplete sidewalks, poor lighting conditions, no crosswalks. These issues impact health outcomes for the community. Also, as residential density increases in the neighborhood, there may be need for additional healthcare centers. While the unemployment rate is not shockingly high, it is higher than the Metro average. This suggests that there may be additional need for workforce development, job access, and/or employment supports. Also, the availability of middle- and high-wage jobs in this neighborhood is limited. This suggests that quality employment options are missing. Development Activity and Planning The last formal plan for neighborhood development was adopted in 1986. Denver City Planning and Development is in the midst of leading a new planning process with community input. That new plan will likely be approved in 2016. After decades of disinvestment and neglect from the City, the last several years have seen significant focus being paid to Westwood. Nearly $3 million in public and philanthropic capital has been invested or promised to neighborhood redevelopment efforts. Three affordable housing projects are underway in the neighborhood. Resident-led community development and organizing continues to influence the planning processes of the various developers working in
2015 Community Facility Scan │ 19 Westwood. And as the City works toward finalizing the community plan, it is likely that additional funds will be allocated for streetscape improvements along Morrison and other targeted redevelopment projects. Recommendations and Opportunities All indications are that the investment in community development will continue into the coming years. With several multi-family projects planned or in progress, it is very likely that there will be (or could be) commercial space created as part of these developments. Westwood residents are well-positioned to influence and direct development efforts in the coming years. In partnership with effective nonprofit collaborations, resident-led groups are active and attentive to the changes coming down the pike for their neighborhood. To community leaders and developers, we recommend the following approaches for integrating community-benefit commercial space into Westwood.

The limited connectivity and pedestrian access impacts health outcomes. Development Activity and Planning The City and County of Denver approved the 41st & Fox Station Area Plan in 2009. The plan identifies several key elements that relate specifically to commercial development priorities near the station.
2015 Community Facility Scan │ 21 High-intensity activity node on station’s east side Pedestrian shopping corridor along Fox Street Mixed-use @ former Denver Post site Ties between academic institutions, student populations, and incubator employment uses Mixed-use node at 38th and Navajo Aside from the station development itself, there have been few large-scale projects around the station. The area has seen the development of student housing, and small redevelopment of residential and commercial areas has accelerated throughout Sunnyside and Highland. Gaps + Challenges Figure 12- Station area analysis from City and County of Denver TOD Strategic Plan Due to connectivity issues through the station area and differences between the surrounding neighborhoods, redevelopment is uneven. Sunnyside and Highland have seen greater investment and development. Thus the challenges faced in these neighborhoods relate more to mitigating the impacts of displacement on residents and businesses/nonprofits. The portion of Globeville that is part of this station area is largely cut off from the rest of the Globeville neighborhood by the Union Pacific/BNSF rail lines. This lack of circulation and connection is a challenge, and the gaps in this area are more related to this isolation – limited retail opportunity, limited services of any kind. There is an opportunity to address a number of gaps in services and amenities through the redevelopment of the station area. Across the three neighborhoods, there is a need for additional healthcare centers and youth development opportunities. The economic and employment challenges faced by many in this station area highlight the need for workforce development and employment supports, small business development and support services, and additional economic empowerment resources. As additional residential units are added, the area may also see increased demand for childcare and ECE programs.
Recommendations and Opportunities This station area is essentially sandwiched between the rapid, market-rate (or higher) redevelopment of Highland and Sunnyside to the west and the explosion of projects along Brighton to the east. If the development of the station area is truly able to address some of the east-west connectivity and circulation issues, then this area has the opportunity to capitalize on the development energy of its neighbors to attract new commercial uses and provide a home for the high-quality businesses and nonprofits that get pushed out.

Pecos Junction Station (62nd & Pecos) Station Area Profile The Pecos Junction station area is largely industrial use at this time. In fact, the density of nonresidential uses in this area is 7 times the Metro average. The landscape near the station is dominated by the Union Pacific and BNSF rail lines and warehouse uses. The station area is planned to retain its industrial character, functioning as an employment destination.
The nearest neighborhoods impacted by this station area are Twin Lakes, Berkley, and West North Washington. However, the residential areas of these neighborhoods are far-removed from Pecos Junction Station.
Existing Community Facilities As the map to the right depicts, there are no childcare facilities, healthcare centers, libraries, schools, parks, or recreation centers within the TOD shed. Just beyond the ½ mile radius there is 1 nonprofit and 1childcare facility. The nonprofit is the Ironworkers Local 24’s training facility and is located near the childcare facility. This reflects excellent given that childcare access can support workers' participation in the training and apprenticeship programs offered by the Local 24.
Outside of these uses, we did not identify any additional community facilities or organizations.

Gaps The station area is home to the Ironworkers Local 24 training facility, but there are no other employment supports, training, or workforce development. If it becomes an employment center, as planned, then additional supports will be needed. Amenities for employees such as banks, childcare, and adult education may be in demand. It is possible that small food vendors or other retail uses could have a market with the expanded employment base. If density of employees increases, it may also highlight the lack of healthcare options in the area.
Development Activity and Planning Pecos Junction Station is included in the Adams County Clear Creek Valley TOD Plan, approved in 2009. The stated vision for the station is to maintain the area as an employment center for Adams County and serve as a regional access point to the FasTracks rail system.19 Key goals for the station area that relate to the purpose of this scan are: ceate new connections with surrounding residential and commercial areas, and revitalize older commercial and industrial areas20 It appears that the current development focus is on the Clear Creek-Federal Station Area, with the hope that momentum from that redevelopment effort will carry over to Pecos Junction in the coming years.
Recommendations and Opportunities Pecos Junction Station Area is planned to continue as Figure 14 - Proposed station area plan from Adams County Clear Creek Valley TOD Plan an employment center for Adams County.

Figure 15 - Rendering of art for the retaining wall at Clear Creek-Federal Station – Artist: Addison Karl Clear Creek – Federal Station (60th & Federal) Station Area Profile The Clear Creek-Federal Station Area is largely a light industrial area at this time, although Clear Creek and Lake Sangraco are natural areas located within the ½ mile TOD. The area to the north and west of the station is planned for redevelopment as a mixed-use, community amenity called Clear Creek Transit Village. Much like the Pecos Junction Station, Clear Creek-Federal Station is not adjacent to residential.
Existing Community Facilities There are no existing amenities or services within the ½ mile TOD area. Just over a mile from Clear Creek-Federal Station there is a health center, recreation center, and a childcare facility.

2015 Community Facility Scan │ 25 Gaps + Challenges There is nothing supportive currently in the vicinity of this station area. As redevelopment begins to create the new Clear Creek Transit Village, attention will need to be paid to ensuring access to healthcare, mental health services, and recreational facilities. As jobs are added, or current employers preserved, there will likely be a gap in childcare centers and ECE programs within the area. As with any neighborhood, the Clear Creek Transit Village will likely also need places to gather, religious communities, arts and culture, and educational facilities. Currently, none of these uses are represented in or near the TOD shed. The creation of a new community in this station area presents another challenge. The existing industrial uses will become increasingly incongruous. Planning efforts should address relocation or integration of existing employers as development gets underway to make sure that those jobs are not permanently lost.
Development Activity and Planning The redevelopment of the Clear Creek-Federal station is guided by the Adams County Clear Creek Valley TOD Plan and the vision for the Clear Creek Transit Village set forth by The TOD Group. From the TOD Plan, the vision for the Clear Creek at Federal Station “is to create a new, vibrant, transit-oriented community amenity within walking Figure 16 - Concept design massing from Clear Creek Transit Village Plan distance of the transit station. New retail, employment, entertainment and living opportunities within the new Village Center will serve the needs of the existing community, and maintain the area as an employment center for Adams County.”21 The Clear Creek Transit Village is the largest component of this plan, though there are other opportunities to the south and east of the station area for additional development efforts. This is a many year, many phased plan for development of this new community. The TOD Group is currently reviewing RFPs for the first round of vertical development on the Village site. As development takes place, there will be significant commercial space available. This is planned to include retail, office, and community use space. Given that this will be, essentially, a from-scratch community, there could be demand for all community-benefit services and amenities. Recommendations and Opportunities Clear Creek Transit Village will be developed as mixed-use, amenity-rich community. The other areas around the station will also see redevelopment as momentum gains. The scale of commercial space planned for the site is significant. As buildings come online, there will likely be ground floor commercial space that is difficult to lease or offices that will be available a below-market rates for pioneering businesses and nonprofits. This redevelopment plan presents a significant opportunity for integration of affordable commercial uses that will activate the space, enhance the appeal of the residential areas, and help actualize the vision set forth by TOD Group.

Westminster Station (71st & Federal) Station Area Profile Westminster Station is located in the southeastern-most section of the city, the historic heart of Westminster. The area has seen consistently increasing investment in redevelopment ahead of the planned opening of the light rail station.
This is a predominantly Latino neighborhood, with lower-than average income, and slightly larger household size than the Metro average. Over the past two decades, the City of Westminster and other government entities have incrementally invested in improved infrastructure, parks, and cultural facilities in Figure 17 - Westminster Station rendering the neighborhood. This process of redevelopment has been in response to the neighborhood lagging significantly behind the rest of the City in terms of population and economic growth.
Existing Community Facilities South Westminster is home to many nonprofit and government organizations. Within a half-mile of the station, there are: 3 recreational facilities 4 childcare centers 4 schools 1 dentist 3 nonprofits focused on community development, 1 focused on legal advocacy for immigrants, 1 family support and education There are 2 additional nonprofits less than a mile from the station, and another 11 just over a mile away. Residents can access to a school based health clinic and a family healthcare center just over a mile from the station as well.

Development Activity and Planning The City of Westminster has focused its transit-oriented development investment on infrastructure projects that “set the table” for developers in and around the Westminster Station TOD. This includes bridge replacement, drainage and district-level storm water management, and pedestrian accessibility. As a result, the station area is primed for mixed-use development. Ahead of the light rail opening, the area around the station has seen a rising level of investment. The result has resulted in improved perceptions of the area both within and outside Westminster. The hope is that the new parks, apartments, and retail areas will transform this area into a vibrant city asset. Development action is already taking place at 71st and Federal as the Adams County Housing Authority plans a new mixed-use
Figure 18 - Westminster Station conceptual drawing affordable housing project in partnership with Gorman, Inc. Gaps The City’s investment in infrastructure appears to be paying off in the form of development activity and interest in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, there are still significant gaps in the kinds of amenities and services provided in and near the station area. Given the dim outlook on the job front, it is striking that there are no organizations focused on workforce development and support. There are also very few youth development or ECE options in the neighborhood. As density increased and more families move into the area, these kinds of services will be in greater demand. The neighborhood also lacks robust physical and mental healthcare. Given the high level of connectivity planned for the station area, this kinds of community uses could make a greater impact if located in the station area.
2015 Community Facility Scan │ 28 Recommendations and Opportunities Westminster Station presents an exciting opportunity for intentional integration of community facilities into the fabric of the mixed use transit community. The City is invested in revitalizing the neighborhood, and has been willing to take an active, out-of-the-box approach to catalyzing development. The have indeed set the table for developers. It is our recommendation that the City also encourage specific commercial uses that will serve both the existing residents of the neighborhood as well as those who will move into the new housing developments.

Conclusion Metro Denver is undergoing a dramatic transformation. The unprecedented expansion of our transit system is changing the face of our region, and remaking many of our long-standing neighborhoods. As these maps demonstrate, these new transit lines cut through some of the most vulnerable communities in our region. This exploration emphasizes that each station area has different assets to build on and different needs to address. Broadly speaking, station areas create an opportunity to draw in the best of our local business, nonprofits, and public sectors to support residents and other retail uses. We conclude that the connectivity, infrastructure investment, and development attention that comes with transit can - and should - be leveraged to create vibrant commercial spaces that support the surrounding community. Further, it is clear that we have a strong base of community-benefit organizations to draw on to lease commercial spaces, partner with communities, and support the vision of the redevelopment.
