Englewood City Council
February 18,2020
Good evening Mayor Olson and City Council,
I am speaking again tonight on a small part of history and legacy ofJohn W.Madden Jr.
It would compile pages to tell his very unique,extraordinary and generous contributions to
Greenwood Village and what it is today.He has been a passionate supporter of Denver
University and many Denver art and cultural institutions,Colorado business committee for the
Arts (CBCA)and the Madden Merit Scholarships.
Real Estate Developer Mr.Madden is known for his timing and vision.The 1970's launch of
Greenwood Plaza office park kicked off four—plusdecades of nationally acclaimed Greenwood
Village development.He opened his own Madden Museum of Art from his world travels.Mr.
Madden and his daughter Cynthia Madden Leitner,founded Fiddlers Green Amphitheatre,
which I have mentioned before.
It was commissioned by the Museum of Outdoor Arts in 1982 and received a national award
for design.The amphitheater has grown to incorporate the Museum of Outdoor Arts mission
of artistic development concepts,and seating capacity of 18,000 people.Fiddlers’Green
Amphitheatre is operated by AEG Presents and MOA.With over 200,000 annual visitors
attending concerts,Fiddler's Green has developed into a popular setting for any music
showcase or event.AEG Presents has an international reach and the nation's second—largest
concert promotion and touring company.The Adjacent Park to Fiddler's Green;MOA owns
and hosts a variety of artistic art.
The Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club,renamed "Club Greenwood”is one of the beautiful
buildings with seven tennis courts inside the building five outside,heated swimming pools
inside and outside,golf,any type of athletics you can imagine.Please look it up.Club
Greenwood is named among the top ten clubs in the country with 156,000 sq.ft.inside the
building.
Mr.Madden has built other beautiful buildings in Greenwood Village,truly amazing.He
founded the Metropolitan Club,now renamed ”METROCLUB”a private club.The METRO
Club will be John Madden’s crowningjewel.It is a testament to a lifetime dedicated to creating
award-winning spaces that celebrate community and elevate living in Madden style,it is a
masterpiece of art,and architecture.
Page 19 of 359
In 1981 John Madden and daughter Cynthia Madden Leitner,founded the Museum of
Outdoor Arts fully accessible to the public in Greenwood Village,but they had to pay rent and
their lease was going up,but they also wanted to expand their art acquisitions.So,in 2000,the
Museum of Outdoor Arts opened its indoor galleries,studios and offices in the Englewood
Civic Center,Free from Paying Rent,which doesn't get mentioned.
I believe that people assume the MOA pays Englewood for the large space,because that is
what I have heard.However,a large number of our citizens do not even know about the
MOA,and the free gift the city has given all these years.
The MOA also gets funding from the National Endowment for the Arts,the Colorado Creative
Industries,SCFD Culture Fund,and other organizations over the years.However,our City has
been giving free housing for twenty years to the MOA.
In doing homework in today's market rate,in a building such as the Civic Center and space
the cost per year to lease could be around $150,000 per year plus utilities.I see now why the
Fast Rush the MOA and our City is engaged in;a new lease for MOA before the contract comes
up in May.Please Council Do Not Rush This.
The MOA has given our city a good name and experience in art that we appreciate,however,
this is not Greenwood Village and we are not wealthy.This little city of Englewood is drowning
in projects such as infrastructure and many other needs.
The Bottom Line Is:
Our Citizens need to know that Our City has been Renting for Free to the MOA for Twenty
Years.You Seven People Setting on Council are Responsible for Being Wise Stewart's of Our

Since 2016 I have been attending STR meetings,initially the Planning and Zoning meetings,and then
attending the publichearings.|n all of the meetings I have attended,I have not heard anyone address the
issue of affordabilityfor citizens in Englewood.When affordability has been mentioned,it has been that
STRs are needed as affordable alternatives for the visitors.
The National Housing Conference's (NHC)May 2019 report for Colorado found that not one of the
Denver metro areas (including Englewood)had housing affordable for the essential workers needed for
a community to thrive i.e.firefighters,Plumbers,Bank Tellers,Dental Assistants,and Childcare workers.
A firefighter and a plumber can rent properties in the Denver Metro area,but not one of the five
occupations can buy a home here.
Currently,1 in 4 metro area renters are paying more than half of their income on housing.|n the future
more people will face housing insecurity.The Colorado Department of Labor estimates that 88%of the
jobs created in the Denver metro area over the next 10 years will have starting salaries under the
national median wage of $45,000.
In 2019,to rent an apartment in Denver a minimum wage worker had to work 95 hours a week in order
to afford the $1,119.00 median monthly rent for a two bedroom apartment —per theNational Housing
Conference (NHC).
The impact STRs have on the local community is called the ”Airbnb Effect”.The National Association of
Realtors version is:Since Property owners can make more money on STRs than on long—termrentals,
there is a shift in favor of STRs decreasing the available stock of long—termrentals.The rents on the
available long—term rentals go up.The property values increase in the area due to demand for
properties to use as STRs driving up the costs of homeownership.
After publishing a paper based on Aribnb’s data and real estate indexes,David Proserpio of the USC
Marshall School of Business stated in an interview with Harvard Business Review in April 2019,”Overa|l,
Airbnb probably contributes about one—fifthofthe average annual increase in U.S.rents and about one-
seventh of the average annual increases in U.S.housing prices.”
A paper,SHORT TERM RENTALS AND HOUSING COSTS IN DENVERApril 2019,by Katherine O’Conner an
Denver Economic Development and Opportunity analyst,shows a negligible impact by STRs in the
Denver housing market since the passing of the STR ordinance in 2016.
Two weeks ago I was talking with a group ofelderly dog walkers in my neighborhood.Two people in
this group are facing housing insecurity as the people owning their homes are interested in the income
they can get changing from long—term rental to short—term rental.In another situation,the owner of
three units has already evicted one of his tenants (for cause)and has said he will use it as an STR.The
existing tenant thinks their lease will not be renewed.
All three ofthese people are retired long—term Englewood residents who face housing insecurity now.
Allthree live within two blocks of Floyd and Downing.Who else in Englewood will experience housing
insecurity with the passing of the STR Ordinance?

I invited Elena Wilken,director of Housing Colorado to speak tonight.Housing Colorado is an industry
association dedicated to serving professionals who are designing,developing and increasing
support for affordable housing in Colorado,funded in part by thecolorado Housing and Finance
Authority.No surprise,Ms Wilken is booked weeks in advance,as housing affordability is a dire situation
in Colorado not just the Denver metro area.She did state stated that she would be available to answer
any questions City Council members regarding housing affordability.She can be reached at
HousingColorado.org.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Margaret Brocklander
DEPARTMENT: Information Technology
DATE: February 18, 2020
SUBJECT: CB #9 - Mutual Aid Agreement with the City and County of Denver
DESCRIPTION:
CB #9 - Mutual Aid Agreement with the City and County of Denver
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a Mutual Aid Agreement between the City and County of Denver
and the City of Englewood to provide alternative work site facility to perform Information
Technology Services in the event of an emergency.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
There has been no previous council action.
SUMMARY:
The Mutual Aid Agreement provides a mechanism to quickly obtain emergency assistance in
the form of services and facilities to each other during emergency events which impact
information technology services.
ANALYSIS:
When the City of Englewood experienced a ransomware attack, fast-tracking recovery was only
possible thanks to strong relationships with technology leaders in the Denver metro area.
Technology experts from the City and County of Denver were one of several agencies that
responded quickly allowing Englewood to accelerate the recovery process. This Agreement
formalizes the reciprocal desire to assist with a cyber event now and in the future.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Mutual Aid Agreement does not create a multi-fiscal year direct or indirect debt or obligation
within the meaning of TABOR.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternative is to not participate in a mutual aid agreement.
CONCLUSION:
The City of Englewood Information Technology Department does not have sufficient resource
levels to handle extreme cyber events independently. The mutual aid agreement will provide a
means for Englewood and Denver jurisdictions to augment our resources when needed for high
demand incidents.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Nancy Wenig
DEPARTMENT: Police
DATE: February 18, 2020
SUBJECT: VALE Grant
DESCRIPTION:
VALE Grant
RECOMMENDATION:
The Police Department is recommending that City Council approve a Resolution authorizing the
Police Department to apply for and accept funding up to the amount of $22,750.00 from the
Victim Assistance and Law Enforcement Grant (VALE).
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
The VALE Grant finances approximately 40% of the salary for the Victim W itness Advocate
position which is assigned to the Englewood Municipal Court. The Victim Witness Advocate
provides services for victims of domestic violence. Council has approved the application for and
acceptance of this Grant since 1990.
SUMMARY:
Englewood Victim Assistance provides the Victim/Witness Advocate to assist victims of
domestic violence for the Englewood Municipal Court. The Victim/Witness Advocate for the
Englewood Municipal Court provides support for victims of domestic violence through the Court
process. The position also ensures that victims are informed of their Rights under the
Constitution and assists in providing those Rights. This position has been partially funded by the
VALE Grant since 1990. In 2019, the Grant funded $20,000.00 toward the position.
ANALYSIS:
If we receive full funding, the VALE Grant will fund up to $22,750.00 towards the Victim
Advocate position.
The funding for the VALE grant program comes from fees that are collected by courts in the 18th
Judicial District.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
If the application for the Grant is not approved, the City would be responsible for the remainder
of the salary.

to victims of crime in Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln Counties.
It is anticipated that approximately $1,300,000.00 will be available for 2020/2021.
Due to lack of funding, the Board will not grant any scholarship
requests. The budget will be reviewed again in April and if
finances allow, the Board may consider COVA scholarships.

scholarships will be sent, no later than May 1, 2020.

Maynard.The Victim/Witness Advocate position is designed to assist victims of domestic violence who
are seen in the Municipal Court.In 2018,the Englewood Police Department made 137 overall
domestic violence arrests and 115 of those cases were seen in the Municipal Court.From July 1,2017

2017 to June 30,2018 there were 98 arraignments ofdomestic violence crimes in the Municipal Court.
The Victim/Witness Advocate contacted 261 victims during that time and 80 were new victims.There
were 556 contacts with victims at arraignments,penalty hearings,probation reviews,motions
hearings,show cause hearings,and trials.Ms.Maynard also contacted victims through telephone
calls,personal appointments,and letters.These contacts were to answer questions,inform victims of
their Rights,and to discuss needs.Ms.Maynard also counsels family members who come to Court
with the victims.These numbers are average historically and we expect the need for services to
remain the same,or increase,for this upcoming Grant cycle.

and meets the immediate needs of the victim and informs her/him of Rights and the process.Each
victim is provided follow-up in person or through phone calls.
5.A.Address what problems,if any,you anticipate in implementing the program/project goals and
objectives.
We do not anticipate any problems in implementing the program goals.The program has been

Victim Assistance has an excellent working relationship with the Prosecutor's Office and the
Court.Victim Assistance is part of a collaborative effort to solve the problem and represent victims in
the solution.This includes constant conversations with all parties to ensure victims are being kept
informed and considered in the solutions.

in addition to providing information in native languages,the program strives to provide culturally
competent services by attending trainings and meetings to update the Advocates.Ms.Maynard and
Ms.Wenig have attended several trainings,provided by the Colorado Coalition Against Domestic
Violence,the University of Denver,and the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance,on culturally
appropriate responses and interventions.Ms.Maynard and Ms.Wenig take advantage of training
opportunities to further cultural competence and the conversation continues within the Victim
Assistance Unit and the Department as a whole.
3.A.What number of people is in need of the services as proposed by this project?
(Identify source of information).
From July 1,2017 to June 30,2018,there were 98 new cases and 261 total victims served in
the Municipal Court as documented by Court records.The Victim/Witness Advocate attempts to
contact all those whose lives are impacted by domestic violence,identified by either offense reports or
incident reports.During this time period,Ms.Maynard contacted 163 people affected by domestic
violence outside of the Court process.These victims made contact with the Police Department and
the incident did not rise to the level of an arrest;however,services were offered to these victims.
Historically,these numbers remain similar and we anticipate the same level of need forthe upcoming
Grant cycle.
B.What number of people are currentljgaing served in the 18th Judicial District and how?(Identify
source of information.)Explain how you report client numbers and service numbers.
At present,there are approximately 320 domestic violence cases active in the Municipal Court
and approximately 255 victims being served from 2018 and previous years.Each month,
approximately 10 cases are finalized;hence,the number of active cases is constantly changing.Ms.
Maynard keeps a written record of all client contacts.At any point during the case,a victim may
require notification or intervention.There are approximately 10 to 15 new cases each month.
Page 60 of 359
C.What percent of the victims you serve are monolingual Spanish speakers?
There are approximately 2%monolingual Spanish speaking victims.One afternoon per month
is designated as a Spanish—speaking docket.Allofthe Spanish—speaking domestic violence cases are
set on this docket.The Victim/Witness Advocate has access to an interpreter and is able to interview
victims.
D.How will your project diminish or eliminate any duplication of services?
There are no similar services in the Municipal Court.This program is designed to refer victims
to agencies that are providing services outside of the scope of this program to avoid duplication of
services.Each victim is matched with referral resources that meet her or his needs.
E.How will you coordinate services with similar or like programs?
The program is designed to refer victims to services that will respond to their specific needs.
Through appropriate referral,each victim is matched with referral resources that meet her or his
needs.Ms.Maynard continuously networks with other agencies and advocates in order to better
coordinate services when needed.Our working relationship with other agencies is excellent
4.Define the management plan for the program/project.Identify specifically who will:
0 be responsible for daily operations
0 be accountable for the expenditure of grant funds.
0 Include the resume of program/project administrator
The Victim Services Coordinator,Nancy Wenig,is the coordinator and supervisor of the project.
The Victim/Witness Advocate,Nicole Maynard,submits a daily record of court activity to Ms.Wenig,
which includes victim name,referrals made,victim compensation information,restitution requests,and
any other pertinent information.Ms.Wenig is responsible forthe expenditure of the grant funds under
the supervision of the Chief of Police,John Collins,and the Director of Finance,Maria Saboda.
5.In compliance with the American Disability Act (ADA)on providing access,nowdoes your agency
provide accommodations for crime victims or victim service providers?
The Englewood Municipal Court is fully accessible to persons with disabilities.We collaborate
with other service providers to address all areas of disability.
SECTION C:EVALUATION INFORMATION
1.How willyou evaluate whether or not this project has met its stated goals and objectives?Explain
how you evaluate the following:
-Process Evaluation —Did the program meet the project goals and objectives?
-Outcome/Impact Evaluation —Did the program achieve the stated outcomes or behavioral
changes?How did the delivery of services improve the life situation of your clients?
0 Overall agency success —How do you measure if your agency is “doing its job”well?
Page 61 of 359
Process Evaluation:The program will have met its goals and objectives by providing all
victims with ongoing support during and after his/her Court appearance.The program will
have provided all victims with information on their Rights as well as referrals to resources that
may assist victims with recovery.
Outcome Evaluation:Our goal is to provide safety and support for victims of domestic violence as
well as to educate victims of the Court process and services available.One measure of
success is the rate of acceptance of Victim Compensation applications for counseling.In
2018,77 victims contacted at arraignment took applications for Victim Compensation.We
constantly encourage victims to participate in counseling.We hope our efforts to encourage
counseling for victims will help them recover.It is difficult to quantify this measure of success.
It is noted;however,that many victims contact the Advocate months or years later when
facing a separate life crisis.It is a measure of success that the victim feels safe contacting
Ms.Maynard to receive counsel,advice,and knowledge of systems even after the case is
final.The program also refers victims to community resources to aid with financial recovery.
In particular,we refer frequently to Catholic Charites and Integrated Community Family
Services (IFCS)to assist those fleeing violence with financial assistance.In 2018,there were
45 referrals made to IFCS to assist domestic violence victims with various financial needs,
such as rent,cell phone replacement,bus tickets,and moving expenses.Additional referrals
were made to Catholic Charities.
Overall agency success:Our relationship with the City Attorney and Judge is excellent.The
process with which victims move through the Court process is efficient and informative.
Survey reports and follow up phone calls reflect a positive experience in the Court.Victims
are encouraged to keep in contact with Ms.Maynard to work through any rough spots in their
recovery.If a victim has a concern or complaint at any time during the process,it is
immediately staffed between Ms.Maynard and Ms.Wenig.The concern is then addressed
where the problem is concerned.This may be with Court,Prosecution,or Victim/Witness
procedures and the solution is always victim-centered and allows the victim to have a voice in
the process.
SECTION D:CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
1.A.Define how this program/project will address the guidelines for assuring the rights of victims
and witnesses as outlined in the Victim Rights Act (Section 24-4.1-302.5

What is the approximate total number of notifications made by your agency each year?(N=#of
total notifications)
Each victim has on average 5 contacts with the Victim/Witness Advocate during the

1,305 contacts with victims in person,by phone,and by letter.Ms.Maynard also contacts
victims who have made a police report that does not result in charges filed to assess safety,
review Rights,and provide resources and support.These additional contacts are not reflected
in these numbers.However,163 additional contacts were made to victims facing domestic
violence outside of the Court process.

5.Does your agency receive victim assistance funding through the use of a municipal surcharge?If
yes,you must provide specific documentation outlining your agency’s surcharge intake for the last
two fiscal years and detailing how these funds were distributed.
In 2014,Judge Atencio granted a domestic violence fee of $50.00 to be assessed on each
case involving a domestic violence disposition.The Court has collected $7530.09 thus far.When
assessing the fee,the Judge indicated that the program may use it to benefit victims of domestic
violence orto offset costs ofthe program.The program has spent $350.00 on emergency assistance
for victims of domestic violence.There are not enough funds to supplement salary at this point.The
fund depends on payment from defendants and will most likely not see a significant balance for some
time;however,we are excited for this step.
6.If an increased amount of funding over this year’s grant award is being requested,please provide
written justification.Substantiate or quantify factually or with other supportive documentation.
The Grant request is reflective of 40%of the base salary for the position.It is an
increase in the request from last year to account for cost of living increases to the position.

8.Describe the volunteer and/or in—kindservices that will be used for this program/project.
There are no volunteer or in-kind services used for this program.
9.What percentage of your total budget is this request for VALE funds?
Approximately 40%of the base salary would be VALE funded.The City of Englewood assumes
all costs for benefits,retirement contributions,and insurance,which is $9,510.00 in addition to the
base salary.
10.If this program/project is to continue beyond the initial funding period,please identify how the
program/project will be funded in the future.Please be specific.
The City of Englewood is committed to the Victim/Witness Program in the Municipal Court.The
City is willing to provide the difference in the total cost of the program.
11.Have you applied for VOCA funding?If not why?
We applied for and received VOCA funding for an additional Part-Time Advocate to assist
with after-hours and Crisis Intervention.We were also awarded funding to attend the COVA
Conference.In both internal planning as well as with staff at the Department of Criminal Justice,it
was determined that applying for funding for this Victim/Witness Advocate position would be
supplanting due to the long—termsupport of both the VALE Board and the City of Englewood.For
this reason,we did not apply for VOCA funding for this position.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Maria DAndrea
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DATE: February 18, 2020
SUBJECT:
Approval of Contract Amendment with Keesen Landscape
Services for Snow & Ice Control Services
DESCRIPTION:
Approval of Contract Amendment with Keesen Landscape Services for Snow & Ice Control
Services
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends increasing the contract amount with Keesen Landscape Services, Inc. by
$150,000 to $400,000 to allow for snow & ice control services for the remainder of the 2020
snow season in the Englewood Environmental Foundation area.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
A contract amendment was approved by the City Council on December 16, 2019 which
increased the contract amount from $95,000 to $250,000.
SUMMARY:
Snow & ice control services and costs are highly variable based on the number, intensity and
duration of the storm events. The anticipated costs for snow & ice removal for the remainder of
the 2019-2020 snow season in the EEF area are expected to exceed the budgeted amount.
Therefore, staff is bringing forward a contract amendment to increase the contract amount from
$250,000 to $400,000. City staff has modified their practices to provide direction, prior to a
pending storm event, to Keesen regarding the amount of resources needed and to reach
agreement on expected level of effort. This will assist greatly in more closely managing the
contract expenditures.
ANALYSIS:
The city has experienced significant snowfall already in the 2019-2020 snow season. The snow
amounts for several prior seasons, in comparison, are detailed below:
Season Normal (inches) Actual (inches) Departure, from
Normal
2019-2020* 27.4 29.9 +2.5
2018-2019 57.1 48.1 -9.0
2017-2018 57.1 25.7 -31.4
2016-2017 57.1 21.8 -35.3
* through January 2020, per National Weather Service data
Page 69 of 359
A contract with Keesen Landscape Services, was established on June 10, 2019, after a formal
proposal process, with a not-to-exceed amount of $95,000. This amount was increased to
$250,000 in December 2019. At that time, the city had not yet received all of the invoices for the
significant storm event which occurred from November 25 - 27, 2019. A summary of storm
events in Englewood with total snow accumulation and cost data, for the 2019-2020 season, is
attached.
As this was a new contract, City staff has been working with Keesen to determine the correct
level of staffing and effort needed to respond to events for the EEF area. Keesen has expended
significant resources for prior events which has led to a higher level of service than needed.
Staff has discussed this with them and staff has modified their practices to provide direction,
prior to a pending storm event, regarding the amount of resources needed and reach agreement
on expected level of effort. This will assist greatly in more closely managing the contract
expenditures.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
EEF expenditures for snow & ice control over the past three years (by snow season) are
summarized below:
2016-2017 2017-2018 2018-2019 2019-2020
$172,008 $151,630 $239,345 $228,590
The proposed contract amendment would increase the contract from $250,000 to $400,000.
This is a not-to-exceed amount meaning that the contractor is required to submit invoices
detailing the actual hours worked and amount of materials expended. Staff monitors the work as
it is occurring and verifies the invoices for accuracy in accordance with the contract unit prices,
prior to payment.
$300,000 was included in the 2020 budget for snow removal.
Snow & ice control services and costs are highly variable based on the number, intensity and
duration of the storm events. Therefore, while the increased contract amount is anticipated to be
adequate to cover the remainder of the 2019-2020 snow season, another contract amendment
may be necessary, if the city experiences further significant snow & ice events.
ALTERNATIVES:
An alternative would be to have city staff provide these services. While this is possible, it would
defer them from staff's regular duties elsewhere.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends approving, by motion, a contract amendment to CFS 16-46, in the amount of
$150,000, for a total contract amount of $400,000.

FROM: Maria Sobota
DEPARTMENT: Finance & Administrative Services
DATE: February 18, 2020
SUBJECT: CB #6 - 2020 Storm Water Utility Rate Increase Ordinance
DESCRIPTION:
CB #6 - 2020 Storm Water Utility Rate Increase Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve an ordinance to increase Storm Water Utility Rates in

• January 27, 2020 - Storm Water Utility Raftelis Rate Study and Revenue Bond Update
Page 96 of 359
SUMMARY:
The Storm Water Utility fee increase is estimated to will generate approximately $1,183,000.00
in 2020 as compared to $846,500 in 2019. The $337,500 increase will fund expanded storm
drain maintenance and establish the first of three rate increases to finance the debt service from
the revenue bond issue to fund the $30 million estimated capital projects costs for S1, S2 and
S3 identified projects. Additional or future capital project costs will impact the current fee rate
schedule.
ANALYSIS:
The estimated December 31, 2019 Storm Water Fund balance is $924,000. This fee increase is
estimated to generated $337,500 incrementally in 2020 over 2019 or approximately $1,183,000
for the year as compared to $846,500 annually for 2019. This is the first of a series of rate
increases and future fee increases will be based on study results.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Staff recommends this fee increase to fund increased maintenance, complete the study, and
start building funds to cover expenses identified in the Calibre Study.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the fee increase in order to accumulate funds to finance the debt service for
the anticipated $30 million revenue bond issue in 2021 that will pay for projects S1, S2 and S3.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Maria DAndrea
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DATE: February 18, 2020
SUBJECT:
CB #7 - Approval of Intergovernmental Agreement with CDOT for
US 85 (Santa Fe Drive) Planning and Environmental Linkage
Study
DESCRIPTION:
CB #7 - Approval of Intergovernmental Agreement with CDOT for US 85 (Santa Fe Drive)
Planning and Environmental Linkage Study
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approving the ordinance on first reading.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
The City Council authorized the Mayor to sign a letter of support, including financial contribution,
towards the US 85 Planning and Environmental Linkage Study on October 1, 2018.
ANALYSIS:
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is undertaking a US-85 Planning and
Environmental Linkage (PEL) study on US-85, between C-470 and I-25/Alameda Avenue. The
cities along the US 85 corridor, including Englewood, have agreed to provide a pro-rate portion
of the funding towards the project.
A PEL study will assess the needs of US 85 and identify improvements for all modes of
transportation in and across the corridor. The study would focus on the issues identified to date
by various stakeholders along the corridor (Arapahoe County, Douglas County, City of Littleton,
City of Englewood, City of Sheridan, and the City & County of Denver) and develop alternatives
to address such issues. The study will be the first step in establishing a vision for improvements,
operations, and changes within the corridor and will prioritize such for further evaluation, level of
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) action required, design, and implementation. Another
goal would be for consideration of the results/recommendations to be included in various other
plans, (i.e. DRCOG 2050 Plan, CDOT statewide Freight Plan, etc.).
A project kick-off meeting was held on February 10, 2020. The Director of Public Works, Maria
D'Andrea, will represent the city on the multi-agency project management team. The study is
expected to be completed in mid- to late-2021.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding, in the amount of $68,000, for the city's contribution was included in the 2019 capital
budget. Capital allocations carry forward if not spent. So, this amount is available for the project.
The total contribution from the city will be $61,800.

US85 (Santa Fe) PEL Study, C470 to I-25/Alameda
Work to be performed by Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT):
The proposed project on the US 85 Corridor would be a focused Planning and Environmental
Linkage Study. The PEL is the correct choice as funding for the corridor has yet to be identified,
most problems or concerns have been identified, it completes the evaluation/recommendation of a
missing piece of US 85 between two studies (US 85 south of C-470 and Central I-25). The study
would focus on the issues identified to date by various stakeholders along the corridor
(Arapahoe County, Douglas County, City of Littleton, City of Englewood, City of Sheridan, and City &
County of Denver) and develop alternatives to address such issues. The study will be the first step
in establishing a vision for improvements, operations, and changes within the corridor and will
prioritize such for further evaluation, level of NEPA action required, design, and implementation.
Another goal would be for consideration of the results/recommendations to be included in various
plans (ie DRCOG 2050 Plan, Freight Plan, etc.). The project specifically, would include the following
in scope:
Project Management and Continuing Requirements
Establish Project Team, Technical Committee, Policy Committee and set meetings
--Public Involvement
Existing Conditions Evaluation (geometrics, crashes, travel demands, traffic ops, structures,
drainage/floodplains, bike/ped, etc)
Base Mapping, Property ownership
--Environmental overview
--Purpose and Need and Identifying goals for the Corridor
Alternative Development
--Screen Alternatives (3 levels likely, Qualitative and Quantitative)
--Test Alternatives
----Conceptual design layouts
----Financial Analysis (estimate costs and potential funding packages)
Alternative(s) Recommendations with report along with prioritization / phasing of improvements
Produce PEL Report
Answer FHWA 21 PEL Questions
Work to be performed by CITY OF ENGLEWOOD:
In order to advance this project, CITY OF ENGLEWOOD agrees to contribute partial funding of the
Study.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Wade Burkholder
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
DATE: February 18, 2020
SUBJECT: CB #10 Title 16 Housekeeping Amendments
DESCRIPTION:
CB #10 Title 16 Housekeeping Amendments
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council discuss and vote to schedule the Title 16 zoning text
amendments, as presented, for Second Reading on February 18, 2020.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council held a public hearing on the proposed amendments on February 3, 2020 and two
speakers addressed City Council regarding various development concerns. First Reading for
this Ordinance is scheduled for Wednesday February 18th, 2020.
A City Council Study Session was held on September 23, 2019 and January 21, 2020 to
discuss various Title 16 amendments.
SUMMARY:
Whenever public necessity, convenience, health, safety, general welfare, or appropriate zoning
practice justifies an amendment to any Section of Title 16, Unified Development Code (UCD),
and after amendments have been heard in a public hearing for consideration and
recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council may, after an
additional public hearing, change the text of this Title.
ANALYSIS:
Attached is a synopsis of proposed Code changes along with a draft Ordinance for review and
discussion in a public hearing related to the text amendments to Title 16. New language will be
found in yellow highlight, while language proposed for removal will be found with red strike-
through. Overall, the Planning and Zoning Commission began discussing the Title 16
amendments approximately a year and a half ago and have held multiple study sessions. The
amendments are found throughout Title 16 and proposed changes specifically occur in
Chapters 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 11.
At the January 21st Study Session clarification was sought regarding PUD District sizes and
property postings. With regard to PUD District Size, Staff has attached several maps showing
the distribution of parcels in Englewood based upon the size in order to clarify how many
parcels fall within the 1/2, 1, 3, and 5 acre categories. The average PUD District size in
Page 113 of 359
Englewood is 4.95 acres, the largest being the Englewood Town Center and the smallest being
the Logan Street Residences project. Research has indicated no standard district size
requirement for PUD applications within the metro region or the State of Colorado. District sizes
tend to be tailored to most appropriately meet the density and development patterns of each
specific community. Littleton has a one-acre district size, Greenwood Village requires 40,000
square feet and Lakewood requires five (5) acres; however, the Planning Director can reduce
the minimum district size if a project furthers the goals of the community through the
Comprehensive Plan. Several other communities require ten (10) acre minimums or even
larger and within these communities there are opportunities for development of greenfield
properties. Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended the following: PUD
applications shall only be considered for properties equal to or greater than one (1) acre when
the underlying zone of the property falls within the R-1-A, R-1-B, R-1-C, R-2-A, or R-2-B district.
PUD applications shall be considered for properties equal to or greater than one half acre (1/2)
when the underlying zone falls within any other zone district in the City.
Secondly, a question was asked about color-blindness and the ability to see a red sign with
white lettering. After reading a few websites about color-blindness it appears that with regard to
red, most color-blind persons will see the color as a shade of brown. Therefore, white lettering
should still be legible. While there may certainly be variations in individual persons, the
proposed signage color scheme shouldn't pose a serious issue in terms of public notice. Please
remember, there are also additional public notice requirements that must be followed, including
a direct mailing, publication in the Englewood Herald as well as on the City webpage.
The proposed amendments are intended to provide clean-up to areas of the Code that contain
errors, clarify parts of the Code to make procedures more effective and clear, address concerns
and objectives heard from the community, and to provide minor updates to the Code for better
planning practice.
The text amendments proposed in this amendment procedure are moving forward prior to the
larger comprehensive analysis of Title 16 as the proposed changes may be considered minor
amendments and do not have a cascading affect on other portions of the UDC or other City
Code language. The comprehensive analysis of Title 16 is a key feature of the 2020
Community Development Department work plan, and the project has been previously reviewed
with the City Council, particularly during the formulation of the 2020 City of Englewood budget.
The comprehensive Title 16 will be initiated by issuing an RFP for consulting services to assist
in the facilitation of a community dialogue regarding land use regulation options. Most of the
remainder of 2020 will focus on the community dialogue, with actual revisions to Title 16
commencing in late 2020 and into 2021.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no significant financial impacts associated with the proposed text amendments and
the associated ordinance. The 2020 Community Development Department's professional
services budget has allocated an expenditure of $50,000 for retention of a consultant to facilitate
community input during the comprehensive analysis of Title 16 throughout the remainder of
2020.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could elect to postpone the adoption of the proposed text amendments and fold
their consideration into the planned community dialog regarding the entirety of Title 16 in 2020,
or not consider the proposed text amendments at this time.
Page 114 of 359
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Title 16 text amendments have been reviewed and recommended by the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council reviewed the scope of the amendments
in a study session in September, 2019 and January 2020. The proposed amendments would
not likely conflict with the comprehensive assessment of Title 16. Therefore, staff recommends
that the City Council consider the proposed ordinance for adoption.

Staff of the Community Development Department did review the proposed amendments to the
Unified Development Code of the City of Englewood (UDC), and did prepare a report of its
recommendations for review by the Planning Commission and City Council; .
WHEREAS, In accordance with Englewood Municipal Code §16-2-6(D), the Planning
Commission did review the proposed amendments and the recommendation of City staff, and held
a public hearing on November 19, 2019, for public comment and review upon the proposed
amendments;

correct an error in the current text of that Code, consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan,
or events, trends, or facts evident after adoption of the UDC have changed the character or
condition of the community so as to make the proposed amendment inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, and the amendment is necessary to promote the public health, safety, or
welfare of the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS:

§16-2-3 (G)(2): Notice Requirements. 1. Posted Notice. The property shall be advertised by posting for not
less than ten (10) consecutive days prior to a hearing before the Council, the Commission, or the
Board; provided, however, that where the case does not involve a specific property, no posted notice
shall be required. A posted notice shall consist of a sign not less than twenty-two inches (22") by
twenty-eight inches (28") in size, located not less than four feet (4') above ground level in a
conspicuous place, with letters not less than one inch (1") in height in black paint, which letters can

dimensions as stated. The applicant shall be responsible for complying with posted notice provisions
and for providing evidence of timely posted notice at the time of the hearing or consideration. All
required posted notices shall remain in place until after the date of the hearing or consideration, and
shall be removed by the applicant within seven (7) days after the hearing or consideration.
§ 16‐2‐8: ‐ Planned Unit Development (PUD) Rezoning Process and Requirements.
A. Intent . The PUD Zone District is an alternative to conventional land use regulations resulting in the
creation of a unique zone district that offers the City and Applicant forms or qualities of development
Page 119 of 359
5
or amenities not allowed through existing base zone districts. The PUD Zone District combines use,
density, height, design and site plan considerations into a unified process. Each PUD Zone District
must include its own list of permitted and conditional uses and shall identify what development
standards will apply.
The PUD Zone District is specifically intended to:
1. Provide an opportunity for the developer and the City to review the type and intensity of
development being proposed, and to identify any elements of the proposed plan that may not
comply with existing City development standards.
2. Provide development opportunities not otherwise permitted within existing zone districts by
reducing or eliminating the inflexibility that sometimes results from strict application of zoning and
development standards.
3. Permit and encourage innovative design, flexibility, and diversity in land planning and
development.
4. Provide the opportunity for unified development control for a single parcel or multiple properties
in harmony with the environment and respecting the context of the surrounding neighborhoods
by establishing design and development standards for the general character of the properties
within the PUD.
5. Plan for the general configuration of land uses, common elements, major transportation and
pedestrian circulation elements, utilities and necessary easements to serve the site and to
connect to existing and planned transportation networks, pedestrian networks and utilities.
6. Plan for proposed amenities, such as parks, open space and recreational facilities.
7. Identify natural features of the site that should be enhanced, protected or remain undeveloped.
8. Ensure consistency with the Englewood Comprehensive Plan.
9. Provide for the public health, safety, integrity and general welfare, and otherwise achieve the
purposes provided in the Planned Unit Development Act of 1972 as amended (C.R.S. 24-67-101,
et seq.).
B. Applicability. The provisions of this Section shall apply to all lands, uses, and structures to be rezoned
to Planned Unit Development (PUD) Zone District. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to:
1. Planned Developments (P.D.) approved prior to July 1, 1996, which shall continue to be governed
by the respective development plans and the regulations of the underlying zone districts.
However, any major amendments to an existing P.D., as determined by the City Manager or
designee, shall require review and approval under the new requirements of this Section.
2. Any land currently zoned PUD, and partially developed prior to the date of the adoption of this
Section. Such approved PUDs may continue and complete such development under the terms
and conditions of approval for that PUD. However, any major amendments to an existing PUD,
as determined by the City, shall require review and approval under the new requirements of this
Section.
C. Initiation .
1. A proposed rezoning may be initiated by any party identified in Section 16-2-3(A) EMC. All
property owners within the boundaries of a proposed PUD zone district shall consent in writing to
the application for a PUD.
2. A PUD application shall expire one (1) year after submittal unless a public hearing on the
application has been held by the Council on or before that date; provided however, that the City
Manager or designee may extend the application for six (6) months if the reason for the delay
was due to circumstances beyond the control of the applicant.
Page 120 of 359
6
3. No application for substantially the same PUD shall be accepted within twelve (12) months
following a final decision on a prior rezoning application relating to all or any portion of that same
property. A "final decision" shall mean denial of a rezoning by the Council.
D. Permitted Uses. Uses permitted in a PUD zone district may include any use which is a permitted use
in any zone district of the City, or as may be permitted through the unlisted uses determination process
of Section 16-5-1(B) EMC Unlisted Uses. Each PUD application shall include its own list of allowed or
conditional uses and shall identify applicable design and development standards. A PUD District Plan
or a PUD Site Development Plan may vary the provisions of Title 16 EMC, but only to the extent
specifically shown on an approved PUD District Plan or Site Development Plan.
E. General Use and Development Requirements and Limitations. PUDs shall be subject to the following:
1. PUD applications shall only be considered for properties equal to or greater than one (1)
one-half (½) acre when the underlying zone of the property falls within the R-1-A, R-1-B, R-1-
C, R-2-A, or R-2-B district. PUD applications shall be considered for properties equal to or
greater than one half (½) acre when the underlying zone falls within any other zone district in
the City.
2. Requests for rezoning to a PUD zone district shall be filed on application forms provided by the
City, together with all plans, maps and any other information as may be necessary, reasonable
and relevant for review by the City. Applications shall be submitted with fees established by City
Council resolution.
3. Requests for rezoning to a PUD zone district shall be authorized in writing by the landowner(s) or
an authorized agent.
4. All PUD zone districts shall be established through a map amendment to this Title pursuant to the
procedures and criteria set forth in this Title.
5. The terms and conditions of each PUD zone district shall be based on negotiations between the
applicant and the City. However, all PUD zone districts shall be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and applicable provisions of this Title.
6. If a PUD proposal requires the creation of one (1) or more new lots of record, or amendment of
the boundaries of existing lots of record, then approval of a subdivision plat shall also be required.
7. The area of land for the PUD zone district may be controlled by one (1) or more landowners and
shall be developed under unified control or a unified plan of development.
8. Provisions shall be made for the establishment of an organization for the ownership and
maintenance of areas designated as private streets and/or common space unless other adequate
arrangements for the ownership and maintenance thereof are provided in a manner acceptable
to the City Council.
9. The PUD zone district shall be subject to all applicable use and development standards of this
Title unless otherwise waived or modified by the applicant and approved by City Council in the
terms of the approved PUD.
F. Approval Criteria . PUD rezonings shall be made in the interest of promoting the health, safety, and
general welfare of the community, and shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. In addition
the review or decision making body shall only recommend approval of, or shall only approve, a
proposed PUD rezoning if it finds that the proposed rezoning meets the criteria listed below:
1. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable use, development, and design
standards set forth in this Title that are not otherwise modified or waived according to the rezoning
approval. In addition, the proposed rezoning shall meet at least one of the following criteria:
a. The proposed development will exceed the development quality standards; levels of public
amenities; or levels of design innovation otherwise applicable under this Title, and the
proposed development would not be allowed or practicable under a standard zone district
Page 121 of 359
7
with conditional uses or with a reasonable number of Zoning Variances or Administrative
Adjustments; or
b. The property cannot be developed, or no reasonable economic use of the property can be
achieved, under the existing zoning, even through the use of conditional uses or a
reasonable number of Zoning Variances or Administrative Adjustments.
2. All PUD rezonings shall meet the following criterion:
a. The resulting rezoned property will not have a significant negative impact on those properties
surrounding the rezoned area and the general public health, safety and welfare of the
community will be protected.
G. PUD Approval Process Summary: The Planned Unit Development zone district requires three (3) two
(2) steps for PUD project review and approval: 1) Pre-application review and neighborhood meeting;
and 2) PUD District and Site Development Plan review and approval; 3) PUD Site Development Plan
review and approval. If an applicant provides site-specific development plans, the PUD District Plan
and PUD Site Development Plan steps may be combined.
The PUD rezoning may shall be processed in one (1) phase or two (2), at the option of the developer. A
complete and final PUD shall not take effect until and unless all of the information required below for both
a PUD District Plan and a PUD Site Development Plan have been reviewed and approved by the City.
The PUD District Plan is a general plan for the land within the boundaries of the application, and includes
general land uses and densities, building heights, general design intent, parking ratios, and a conceptual
layout of the site. Approval of PUD District Plan requires a later approval of a PUD Site Development Plan
prior to any development or issuance of a Building Permit.

§ 16-2-16: - Zoning Variances.
Two (2) different types of variance are available: (1) Zoning Variances and (2) Floodplain Variances.
Zoning Variances are addressed in this section, and Floodplain Variances are addressed in Chapter 16-4
EMC — (Floodplain Regulations). (Note that the Planning Commission is the decision-making body on
Floodplain Variances rather than the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.) The Board of Adjustment and
Appeals pursuant to the procedures in this Section may grant Zoning Variances from the zoning provisions
of this Title otherwise applicable to a property.
A. Jurisdiction/Scope for Zoning Variances.
1. Nothing in this Title shall be construed to empower the Board to change the terms of this
Title or to effect changes in the Official Zoning Map of the City of Englewood. The powers of
the Board shall be narrowly interpreted and strictly construed so that this Title and the Official
Zoning Map shall be strictly enforced.
2. The Board shall have the authority to require any reasonable stipulation or condition that
might be necessary to properly protect the general welfare when granting a Zoning Variance.
3. The Board's granting of Zoning Variances shall not result in any encroachment into a
recorded easement or right-of-way.
4. The Board shall not consider a Zoning Variance application relating to the use of property.
5. The Board shall not consider a Zoning Variance application to allow additional dwelling units
in residential districts above the maximum number permitted by zone district standards for
lot area and lot width.
Page 127 of 359
13
6. The Board shall not consider a Zoning Variance application relating to Temporary Use
Permits.
7. The Board shall not consider a Zoning Variance application relating to Conditional Use
Permits.
B. Initiation. An application for a Zoning Variance may be initiated by those parties identified in
Section 16-2-3.A EMC.
C. Notice. The City shall require that notice of required public hearings be given in accordance with
Section 16-2-3.G EMC.
D. City Review. The City Manager or designee shall review the Zoning Variance application, and
may refer the application to any department or agency for its review and comments.
E. Board Decision. The Board shall review the proposed Zoning Variance application and the report
of City staff, and shall hold a public hearing on the proposed Zoning Variance. Following such
hearing, the Board shall make written findings either approving, conditionally approving, or
denying the Zoning Variance. The decision on whether to approve or deny an application for a
Zoning Variance shall be in writing, based upon substantial evidence presented at the public
hearing. A copy of the decision of the Board shall be provided to the applicant.
F. Criteria for Considering a Zoning Variance.
1. General Zoning Variances. In passing upon Zoning Variances that do not involve provisions
of the Sign Code, the Board may vary the application of the regulations set forth in this Title
only if the Board finds the following:
a. That unique physical conditions exist, such as size, shape, location, topography or
surroundings, which are peculiar to the land or structure involved, which deprive the
applicant of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity; and
b. The variance is consistent with the intent of the zone district regulations to secure public
health, safety and welfare; and
c. The variance will not permanently impair the use or development of adjacent conforming
properties or alter the essential character of the neighborhood; and
d. The variance is not a self-imposed difficulty or hardship.
Page 128 of 359
14
2. Sign Code Variances. In passing upon Zoning Variances to the Sign Code, Section 16-6-13
EMC, the Board may vary the application of the regulations set forth in this Title only if it
determines that:
a. There are special circumstances or conditions such as the existence of buildings,
topography, vegetation, sign structures, or other matters on adjacent lots or within the
adjacent public right-of-way, which would substantially restrict the effectiveness of the
sign in question; provided, however, that such special circumstances or conditions must
be peculiar to the particular business or enterprise to which the applicant desires to
draw attention, and do not apply generally to all businesses or enterprises; and
b. The variance will not weaken the general purpose of this Title nor the regulations
prescribed for the district in which the sign is located; and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the district in which the sign is
located; and
d. The variance will not substantially or permanently impair the appropriate use of adjacent
conforming property.
G. After Approval.
1. All Zoning Variances shall be effective on the date of final action by the Board. For the purpose
of this subsection, final action by the Board shall be deemed to be the approval of the findings
of fact for the Zoning Variance request.
2. The City shall record all Zoning Variances with the office of the Arapahoe County Clerk and
Recorder.
3. Any Zoning Variance granted by the Board shall run with the land unless the Board specifies
otherwise as a condition of the Zoning Variance.
4. Any Zoning Variance granted by the Board shall automatically lapse within one hundred eighty
days one year of the date it was effective, or within such other time as the Board may prescribe,
unless a building permit for the action that was the subject of the variance is obtained and work
started.
H. Post Decision Remedies. Initiation of the following remedies must occur within thirty (30) days of
the Board decision. For the purpose of this subsection, Board decision shall be the vote on the
Zoning Variance request.
1. Rehearing. If the applicant or an interested third party finds evidence that was not available
at the time of the hearing that may materially bear on the case, a request for a rehearing
may be made to the Board. The request shall be in writing and contain the following:
a. A summary of the new evidence.
b. The reason the evidence was not available to the Board at the original hearing.
c. A statement as to why it is believed that the evidence will materially affect the decision
of the Board.
The Board shall hear the request for rehearing and shall vote on the issue of granting a
rehearing. The chairperson shall announce the Board's decision. If a rehearing is granted, a
new date will be set for a public hearing and all posting and publication requirements shall
apply and shall be the responsibility of the original applicant. If a rehearing is denied, the
original Board decision shall stand.
2. Reconsideration. If a Board Member believes that the Board would benefit from reviewing a
Board decision, a motion for reconsideration of the decision may be made. If the motion to
reconsider fails, the original decision stands. If the motion to reconsider is approved, the
original variance request shall be reheard by the Board. The Board may reconsider the
variance request immediately or may continue the reconsideration to a date certain.
Page 129 of 359
15
The reconsideration shall be limited to the facts presented in the original variance request
and no new evidence shall be taken. The Board may confirm, reverse, or modify the original
decision.
I. Appeals of Board Decisions. Appeals of final decisions of the Board may be made pursuant to
Section 16-2-18 EMC, "Appeals".
§16-2-17: - Administrative Adjustments.
A. Purpose. The City Manager or designee may vary, in minor ways, some provisions of this Title
otherwise applicable to a property pursuant to the procedures in this Section. Administrative
Adjustments are to be used when the small size of the adjustment requested, and the unlikelihood of
any adverse effects on nearby properties or the neighborhood, make it unnecessary to complete a
formal Zoning Variance process. In addition, the Federal Fair Housing Act, as amended, requires that
local governments be prepared to make "reasonable accommodations" in order to permit housing for
certain protected groups to occur in certain types of residential areas. Administrative adjustments may
be used when the City determines that an adjustment to the provisions of this Title is required or
advisable to comply with these requirements of the Federal Fair Housing Act.
B. Initiation. An application for an Administrative Adjustment may be initiated by those parties identified
in Section 16-2-3.A.
C. Notice. The City shall require that the applicant notify adjacent property owners and/or occupant(s) by
written notice of any application for Administrative Adjustment. The request for administrative
adjustment for the property shall be advertised by posting in conformance with §16-2-3(G)(2), Posted
Notice.
D. Permitted Adjustments.
1. General Rules.
a. Except when requested as a reasonable accommodation for Federal Fair Housing Act
("FFHA") purposes, a request for an Administrative Adjustment shall not be used to further
modify a development standard that, as applied to the subject property, already qualifies as
an exception to, or modification of, a generally applicable development standard required
under Chapter 16-6 EMC, (Development Standards). For example, the developer of a
residential project that qualifies for a special variation in the required side setback under the
residential design provisions in Section 16-6-10.B EMC, cannot seek an Administrative
Adjustment to further reduce the side setback allowed under the special variation.
b. Unless specifically stated in the Scope of Authority below, the City Manager or designee
shall not approve any Administrative Adjustment that results in an increase in permitted
maximum development density or intensity; a change in permitted uses; an increase in
Page 130 of 359
16
building height; or a decrease in the amount of common or dedicated open space required
by this Title or other City policies, standards, or regulations.
2. Scope of Authority—All Adjustments Except Reasonable Accommodations Under FFHA. An
application for an Administrative Adjustment that is not related to a request for "reasonable
accommodation" under the Federal Fair Housing Act may request only the following types of
adjustments:
a. Setbacks: Adjustments to any setback standard may be permitted as follows:
TABLE 16‐2‐17.1:
PERMITTED ADJUSTMENTS TO SETBACKS
Required Setback Permitted Maximum Adjustment
3 feet 6 inches
5 feet 1 foot
7 feet 1 foot
20 feet 2 feet
25 feet 3 feet
b. Principal Dwelling Unit Expansion: Adjustments may be permitted to the front and/or side
setback standards for one-unit residential dwellings to allow expansion of the principal
dwelling's habitable space to match an existing front setback encroachment as follows:
(1) The front and/or side setback encroachment existed on the effective date of this Title.
(2) The linear frontage of the facade of the expansion shall be less than or equal to the
linear frontage of the portion of the dwelling that already encroaches into the setback.
(See Figure 16-2(1): C must be less than or equal to B.)
(3) The addition or expansion shall not extend beyond the front and/or side building line of
the principal dwelling (not beyond the leading edge of the existing encroachment.)
However, no addition or expansion may encroach more than five feet (5') into the
required front setback. (See Figure 16-2(1): A may not be greater than five feet (5').
Page 131 of 359
17
c. Existing Front Porch: Adjustments may be permitted to existing, unenclosed, covered front
porches that encroach into the front setback, subject to compliance with the following
conditions:
(1) The porch encroached into the front setback prior to the effective date of this Title.
(2) The adjustment shall not increase the existing encroachment into the front setback;
and
(3) The porch shall not be enclosed.
d. Off-Street Parking: Adjustments of ten percent (10%) or less of the minimum number of
required off-street parking spaces, as set forth in Section 16-6-4 EMC, except such
adjustment is not available for one-unit or multi-unit uses containing two (2) dwelling units.
e. Minimum Lot Width or Lot Area: Adjustments may be permitted to the minimum lot width or
minimum lot area in the "Summary Table of Dimensional Requirements for Principal Uses
and Structures" in Section 16-6-1 of this Title, subject to the following requirements:
(1) The adjustment shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the required minimum lot width
or minimum lot area; and
(2) The adjustment in the minimum lot width or minimum lot area may result in an alternate
permitted land use in the base zone district where the property is located; and
(3) A development for which a minimum lot width or minimum lot area adjustment is
granted shall not be eligible for additional variances or additional administrative
adjustments based on the reduced lot width or area; and
(4) The result of an approved adjustment may result in an increase in the maximum
development density or intensity; for residential developments, the result of the
administrative adjustment shall not exceed one (1) additional residential dwelling unit.
3. Scope of Authority—Reasonable Accommodations Under the FFHA. In response to a written
application identifying the type of housing being provided and the portions of the Federal Fair
Housing Act that require that reasonable accommodations be made for such housing, the City
Manager or designee is authorized to take any of the following actions in order to provide
reasonable accommodations without the need for a rezoning or Zoning Variance:
a. Modify any facility spacing, building setback, height, lot coverage, or landscaping
requirement by no more than ten percent (10%); or
b. Reduce any off-street parking requirement by no more than one (1) space.
Page 132 of 359
18
c. The City Manager or designee may approve a type of reasonable accommodation different
from that requested by the applicant if the City Manager or designee concludes that a
different form of accommodation would satisfy the requirements of the Federal Fair Housing
Act with fewer impacts on adjacent areas. The decision of the City Manager or designee
shall be accompanied by written findings of fact as to the applicability of the Fair Housing
Act, the need for reasonable accommodations, and the authority for any reasonable
accommodations approved. Requests for types of accommodation that are not listed above
may only be approved through a Zoning Variance or rezoning process.
E. City Review and Decision.
1. The City Manager or designee shall review the proposed Administrative Adjustment, and may
refer the application to any department or agency for its review and comments.
2. The applicant shall provide a Site Improvement Plan, written request and justification for the
adjustment, proof of adjacent property notification, and any other document or materials
appropriate to the application.
3. Following such reviews, the City Manager or designee shall approve, conditionally approve, or
deny the application. Denials of Administrative Adjustments by the City Manager or designee may
be heard before the Board pursuant to Section 16-2-16 EMC, "Zoning Variances".
F. Criteria. An Administrative Adjustment shall only be approved by the City Manager or designee if it
meets all of criteria 1 through 5 below, or if it meets criteria 6 below:
1. The requested adjustment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the stated purpose of
this Title.
2. The requested adjustment meets all other applicable building and safety codes.
3. The requested adjustment does not encroach into a recorded easement.
4. The requested adjustment will have no significant adverse impact on the health, safety, or general
welfare of surrounding property owners or the general public, or such impacts will be substantially
mitigated.
5. The requested adjustment is necessary to either: (a) compensate for some practical difficulty or
some unusual aspect of the site of the proposed development not shared by landowners in
general; or (b) accommodate an alternative or innovative design practice that achieves to the
same or better degree the objective of the existing design standard sought to be modified. For
purposes of this provision only, determination of "practical difficulty or some unusual aspect" may
include consideration of:
a. The historic aspect and development of the subject property;
b. The use and development of the subject property compared to similar properties in the
vicinity and in the same zone district;
c. The property's use and development under previously applicable zoning, as relevant;
d. Any intervening public action (e.g., condemnation for public right-of-way); or
e. Other similar factors that support a finding of a practical difficulty or unusual aspect that is
not of the applicant's own making or under the applicant's direct control.
6. The requested adjustment is required or advisable to comply with the requirements of the Federal
Fair Housing Act, and does not create significant adverse impacts on the surrounding
neighborhood.

Section 3. Amendment of Title 16, Chapter 6, Section 1(A): Rules of Measurement, (3): Lot
Coverage; Section 1(B): Summary Table of Dimensional Requirements for Principal Uses
and Structures; and Section 1(C): Additional Dimensional and Development Standards(6):
M-1, M-2, and M-O-2 Districts (e): Zone of Transparency of the Englewood Municipal Code
shall be amended as follows:
§16-6-1: - Dimensional Requirements.
A. Rules of Measurement.
1. Residential Density.
a. Net Density. Net density shall be calculated by dividing the net acreage of a parcel by the
minimum lot area required for each dwelling unit. Net acreage is equal to gross acreage,
less land area devoted to public rights-of-way.
b. Gross Density. Gross density shall be calculated by dividing the gross acreage of a parcel
by the minimum lot area required for each dwelling unit.
c. Rounding. When applying a density standard to a parcel's land area, all resulting fractions
shall be rounded down to the next lower whole number.
d. Maximum Density Not Guaranteed. The number of dwelling units allowed on a site is based
on the presumption that all other applicable site development standards shall be met. The
maximum density established for a zone district in this Chapter is not a guarantee that such
densities may be obtained, nor a valid justification for varying other dimensional or
development standards.
2. Lot Area. Lot area is measured as the amount of gross land area contained within a horizontal
plane bounded by the front, side, and rear lot lines (but not including streets or rights-of-way).
3. Lot Coverage.
a. General Rule. Lot coverage is the percentage of total lot area which, when viewed directly
from above, would be covered by a structure or structures, or any part thereof, excluding
projecting roof eaves. It is calculated by dividing the square footage of structure cover by the
square footage of the lot. Unless specifically exempted by subsection (B) below, the term
"structure" includes private walkways, driveways, and other paved surface areas used or
intended for parking vehicles (e.g., parking pads). See Figure 16-6(1).
b. Exemptions from the calculation of lot coverage.
(1) Driveways, or portions thereof, twelve feet (12') or less in width;
(2) Private walkways, or portions thereof, five feet (5') or less in width;
(3) Areas covered by swimming pools, hot tubs, and ornamental ponds;
(4) Open (uncovered) decks or patios less than thirty inches (30") above grade; or
(5) Covered, unenclosed (open on at least two sides) porches.
Page 147 of 359
33
Commentary to Figure 16-6(1) Lot Coverage [above]: The cross-hatching shown represents total lot
coverage, including portions of the lot covered by the principal dwelling and an attached garage, but not
including the paved driveway (when the driveway width is twelve feet (12') or less) and not including an
unenclosed front porch or narrow front walkway.
4. Front Lot Coverage. Front lot coverage is the portion of the front setback or front yard area,
whichever is larger, of a residential lot covered by (a) an impervious material, including but not
limited to driveways, sidewalks and parking pads, and/or (b) any structure or portion thereof
permitted to encroach into the front setback area. Front lot coverage is expressed as a
percentage.
Page 148 of 359
34
Commentary to Figure 16-6(2) Front Lot Coverage [above]: The cross-hatching shown in this figure
illustrates those parts of this home's front setback area that are covered by impervious materials or
surfaces—in this case, the portion of the paved driveway within the front setback area and the front walkway
between the sidewalk and the home's front porch. The total area covered by those impervious materials or
surfaces, divided by the entire area of the front setback, equals the total front lot coverage.
5. Lot Width. Lot width refers to the horizontal distance parallel to the front lot line measured between
side lot lines at the front setback line, or if no setback line is established, the distance between
the side lot lines measured along the street line.
6. Setbacks. Setbacks are measured along a line at right angles from the lot line to a point equivalent
to the minimum setback. Setbacks shall be unobstructed from the ground to the sky except for
the projections specifically allowed in Section 16-6-1.F EMC.
7. Floor Area Ratio (FAR). FAR is measured as the total floor area on a lot divided by the land area
of that lot. "Total floor area" includes the total floor areas of the several floors of the structure, as
measured by the exterior faces of the walls, including fully enclosed porches and the like as
measured by the exterior limits thereof, but excluding:
Page 149 of 359
35
a. Garage space which is in the basement of a building or, in the case of garage space
accessory to a dwelling, is at grade;
b. Basement and cellar areas devoted exclusively to uses accessory to the operation of the
structure; and
c. Areas elsewhere in the structure devoted to housing mechanical equipment customarily
located in the basement or cellar such as heating and air conditioning equipment, plumbing,
and electrical equipment.
8. Building or Structure Height. Building or structure height is the vertical distance of a building or
structure, as measured from the average elevation of the finished grade at the corners of the
building or structure base, to the highest point of the building or structure. When referring to a
tower or other similar structure, height is measured from the average ground level to the highest
point on the tower or other structure, even if said highest point is an antenna.
9. Street Frontage. Street frontage is the horizontal distance between side lot lines along the front
lot line abutting the street. On corner lots, street frontage is measured along both lot lines abutting
streets.
B. Summary Table of Dimensional Requirements for Principal Uses and Structures. All principal
structures and uses shall be subject to the intensity and dimensional standards set forth in the following
Table 16-6-1.1. These standards may be further limited by other applicable sections of this Title.
Additional regulations for the residential districts, and special dimensional regulations related to lot
area, setbacks, height, and floor area are set forth in the subsections immediately following the table.
Rules of measurement are set forth in subsection 16-6-1.A EMC. Dimensional requirements for
accessory structures are set forth in subsection 16-6-1.I EMC.

Notes to Table:
[1] The minimum side setback stated in this table for one‐unit attached and multi‐unit dwellings shall
apply to the entire dwelling structure, and not to each individual dwelling unit located in the structure.
[2] The minimum side setback standard for principal residential dwellings in the residential (R) zone
districts, as stated in this Table, shall apply to such dwellings that existed on the Effective Date of this
Title. However, principal residential dwellings existing on the Effective Date of this Title, and which as
of that date are not in compliance with the minimum side setback standards established in this Table,
shall not be considered nonconforming structures due solely to the dwelling's noncompliance with the
minimum side setback. Such dwellings are "grandfathered," and shall be considered legal, conforming
structures for the purposes of sale and development under this Title and other City building and safety
regulations. See Section 16‐9‐3 (Nonconforming Structures), below.
[3] The minimum separation between principal buildings located on the same or adjoining lots,
whether or not the lots are under the same ownership, shall be fifteen feet (15').
[4] See Section 16‐6‐1.C for additional dimensional standards appropriate to the zone district.
[5] Small lot of record on or before February 23, 2004.
[6] Urban lot of record that contained or contains a one‐unit dwelling that existed on or before the
Effective Date of this Title (February 23, 2004). Vacant Urban Lots follow same process as
Nonconforming Lots, see Section 16‐9‐4.
[7] For Urban Lots with less than 3,000 sq. ft. of Lot Area or less than 25 ft. of Lot Width follow same
process as Nonconforming Lots, see Section 16‐9‐4.

Commentary to Figure 16-6(3) Bulk Plane (above): The shaded portion of the illustration above
depicts the defined bulk plane, which must contain the entire dwelling structure (with limited
exceptions for projecting dormers, chimneys, and railings). The bulk plane is measured at a
forty-five degree (45°) angle from a horizontal line located directly above each side lot line and
which passes through a point twelve feet (12') above the base plane in the R-1-A and R-1-B
zone districts, or seventeen feet (17') above the base plane in the R-1-C, R-2-A, R-2-B, MU-R-
3-A and MU-R-3-B zone districts. The maximum side wall height is the point where the side wall
of the structure intersects the highest roof framing member.
H. Requirements for Accessory Structures.

a. Purpose. This subsection authorizes the establishment of accessory structures that are
incidental and customarily subordinate to the principal use and structure on a property. The
City's intent in adopting this subsection is to allow a broad range of accessory structures, so
long as such structures are located on the same site as the principal use, and so long as
they comply with the performance criteria set forth in this subsection in order to reduce
potentially adverse impacts on surrounding properties.
b. Approval of Accessory Structures. A permitted accessory structure may be approved in
conjunction with approval of the principal structure.
c. Compliance with Title Requirements. All accessory structures shall be subject to the
dimensional regulations set forth in this subsection, including Table 16-6-1.2, below. In the
case of any conflict between the accessory standards of this subsection and any other
requirement of this Title, the standards of this subsection shall control.
2. General Conditions. All accessory structures shall comply with the following general conditions:
a. Be clearly incidental and customarily found in connection with the principal use;
b. Be located on the same lot as the principal use and structure; and
c. Be operated and maintained under the same ownership, or by lessees or concessionaires
thereof, and on the same lot as the permitted principal use and structure.
3. General Development and Operational Standards. The following general standards shall apply to
all accessory structures in all zoning districts, unless otherwise specified in this Title:
a. Time of Establishment. No accessory structures shall be allowed on the subject parcel until
all required permits and approvals for the principal use or activity have been obtained.
b. Location of Accessory Structures. Unless otherwise specified, all accessory structures shall
comply with the following general requirements:
(1) An accessory structure shall not be located within a required setback.
(2) No accessory structure shall be located within any platted or recorded easement or
over any known utility.
c. Residential Occupancy. No accessory structure shall allow residential occupancy, except as
permitted for approved accessory structures occupied by caretakers or watchmen, or for
approved accessory dwelling units on owner-occupied principal one-unit detached
properties.
d. Temporary Accessory Structures. Temporary accessory structures shall be governed by the
standards and Temporary Use Permit procedures set forth in Sections 16-2-14 and 16-5-5
EMC.
e. Materials. No accessory structures shall be constructed using cloth, canvas, tarp, plastic,

TO: Chair Townley and Planning and Zoning Commission Members
THRU: Wade Burkholder, Planning Manager
FROM: John Voboril, Senior Planner
DATE: March 5, 2019
SUBJECT: R-2 and R-3 Lot Width Reclassification Housekeeping Amendment
Through recent inquiries from private property owners, Community Development staff have
been made aware of a variation in how lot widths are classified in R-1-C zone districts versus R-
2 and R-3 zone districts. Community Development staff is providing an analysis of lot width
classification to the Planning and Zoning Commission in order to determine whether a Lot Width
Reclassification housekeeping amendment should be moved forward.
Historical Background
Beginning in the 1880’s, surveyed land subdivisions were created for agricultural lands south of
the City of Denver (at the time unincorporated Arapahoe County) for sales of future building
sites. The system of land subdivision employed at that time was developed for maximum
flexibility in meeting the needs of prospective land buyers, who after buying lots would typically
construct their own house on the property. To that end, a grid street pattern was laid out with
adjoining 25 foot wide lots. In this manner, lots were typically sold in 25 foot increments, which
allowed lot purchasers to customize the size of their property based on their budget and
preferences.
Fifty feet was the most commonly desired property width. In order to create a 50 foot lot, the
purchaser would buy two 25 foot lots. However, in many instances the purchase of two 25 foot
wide lots was too financially burdensome for some. In these cases, a purchaser often bought
one 25 foot wide lot plus half of another 25 foot wide lot, creating a 37 ½ foot wide lot.
The City of Englewood was established in 1903; when the first zoning ordinance was adopted in
1940, the 50 foot wide lot was recognized as the standard lot size for the R-3, R-2, and R-1-C
zone districts. This created a gray area for what would be allowed to occur on properties that
had been created in the past with less than 50 feet of width.
In 2004, a new Unified Development Code (UDC) was created with the assistance of a
professional code development consultant. The new UDC established the classification of Small
Lot for lots that were smaller than the standard lot size. Small Lots were given a minimum lot
width of 40 feet for all R-3 and R-2 zone districts, along with a minimum lot width of 37 feet for
the R-1-C zone district. Community Development staff believes that in 2004 the Small Lot width
was reduced from 40 to 37 feet in the R-1-C zone district due to the knowledge of multiple
properties in this zone district having a lot width of 37 ½ feet.
Page 243 of 359
2
The result of leaving the Small Lot minimum lot widths at 40 feet instead of 37 feet in the R-3
and R-2 zone districts was that a significant number of established properties of 37 ½ feet were
classified as Urban Lots under the 2014 Urban Lot Amendment to the Unified Development
Code. The minimum lot width for an Urban Lot is 25 feet. The range of widths for Urban Lots is
25 to 39.9 feet. Development of Urban Lots is subject to a Planning and Zoning Commission
hearing and approval process.
R-2 and R-3 Lot Width Reclassification Proposal
The following chart outlines minimum lot width sizes for Standard, Small, and Urban Lot
classifications:
UDC MINIMUM RESIDENTIAL LOT WIDTHS IN FEET
Lot
Classification
Zone District
R-1-A R-1-B R-1-C R-2 and R-3
Standard Lot
75’ 60’ 50’ 50’
Small Lot
50’ to 74.9’ 50’ to 59.9’ 37’ to 49.9’ 40’ to 49.9’
Urban Lot
25’ to 49.9’ 25’ to 49.9’ 25’ to 36.9’ 25’ to 39.9’
The R-2 and R-3 Lot Width Reclassification Proposal would change the Small Lot definition from
40-49.9 feet to 37-49.9 feet, effectively moving a significant number of currently classified Urban
Lots into the Small Lot category (137). This proposal would foster consistency for similarly
sized properties across residential zone districts (R-1-C, R-2-A, R-2-B, MU-R-3-A, MU-R-3-B,
MU-R-3-C) that had been platted as 25 foot lots in the late nineteenth century, resulting in less
confusion for both staff and the general public.
Analysis
Previously, analysis of lot widths was not feasible because lot width data had not been recorded
in a digital format. A number of years ago, Planner John Voboril had an opportunity to hire an
intern from Englewood High School to work on various GIS projects. One GIS project involved
the transfer of lot width information from Arapahoe County Assessor Maps to the City’s
Geographic Information System digital land parcel layer file. The City now has the capability of
efficiently querying lot width information.
The following chart analyzes single family and vacant lots by lot width classification. The chart
calculates the current number and percentage of lots classified as Standard, Small, and Urban
for each R-2 and R-3 zone district, and also provides combined totals for all 5 zone districts.
The chart also calculates the number and percentage of lots classified as Standard, Small, and
Urban for each R-2 and R-3 zone district that would result from reducing the Small Lot minimum
lot width from 40 to 37 feet.

Urban: 25‐39.9 253 (15.2) Urban: 25‐36.9 116 (7.0)
The data shows that there are significantly more lots classified as Urban Lots as opposed to
Small Lots in each R-2 and R-3 zone district. The current Small Lot classification applies to a
relatively narrow slice of the total single family/vacant lot universe. Lots with a width of 40 to
49.9 feet are not nearly as common as lots with a width of 37 ½ feet. The 37 ½ feet lot is by far
the most common lot size other than the Standard Lot (50 feet). Community Development staff
believe that the proposed Lot Width Reclassification produces a better balance between
Standard, Small, and Urban Lots, with Urban Lots representing the smallest lot size category
grouping.

On January 27, 2020, the City Council held a special meeting for the purpos e of studying the
recommendation by Planning and Zoning to allow and regulate Short Term Rentals within the
City of Englewood. At that meeting the City Council directed staff to:
1. Separate the land use provisions recommended by Planning and Zoning from the
recommended regulations for Short Term Rentals into two Ordinances, Council Bill #47
and Council Bill #4;
2. Amend draft Council Bill #47, regarding amendments to Title 16, to establish the zoning
districts within the City in which short term rentals will be an allowed use, in accordance
with the City Council's stated directives and return the bill for First Reading at the
February 3rd Regular Meeting;
3. Amend the draft Council Bill #4, regarding amendments to Title 5 to establish licensing
and regulations regarding the provision of short term rentals within the City, in

at the February 3rd Regular Meeting.
At the January 21, 2020 regular meeting, the City Council tabled the First Reading discussion
until January 27th, 2020.
On January 6, 2020, City Council held a public hearing on Short Term Rentals; staff presented
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation; and Council heard from 40 speakers
(30 favoring and 10 opposing short term rentals). City Council closed the public hearing and
moved the item to the January 21st City Council regular meeting for First Reading. City Council
directed staff to:
1. Create draft ordinances separating the land use provisions of CB #47 from the
recommended regulations for Short Term Rentals.
On October 21, 2019, the City Council tabled the action and referred the matter back to the
Planning and Zoning Commission to provide additional recommendations regarding:
enforcement provisions, permitting short term rentals in accessory dwelling units, and review for
conflicts with other provisions of Title 16.
Page 247 of 359
On October 7, 2019, the City Council held a public hearing on Short Term Rentals to receive
public testimony.
On August 26, 2019, professional staff presented information regarding the enforcement of the
STR regulations and discussed the potential of hiring a third-party monitoring and compliance
company. The City Council, by consensus, approved of staff's plan to hire a third-party
monitoring and compliance company to begin enforcement of the existing provisions of the
zoning code regarding Short Term Rentals.
On July 15, 2019, the City Council held a study session to discuss Short Term Rentals. Staff
presented the recommendations approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission which
included both modifications to the zoning code to expand those zone districts in which Short
Term Rentals would be a permitted use, and draft regulations and licensing for Short Term
Rentals.
SUMMARY:
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Short Term Rentals (STRs) are dwelling units, or a portion thereof, which are rented to guests
nightly, weekly, or for a duration of less than 30 consecutive days. Over the past few years, it
has become a popular practice nationwide for individuals to rent out rooms, condos, or entire
houses for short durations to visitors and vacationers. STRs are common in areas where hotels
are expensive or other quality lodging options do not exist. In response to this increasing
popularity homeof -citimany sharing, STR created have Front Range es throughout the
ordinances as a way to better regulate the time, place, and manner of such uses and to provide
a potential city to impacts adverse and means address effectively more to nuisances
neighborhoods.
The availability and popularity of STRs in Englewood have been on the rise in recent years,
especially with the advent of home-sharing websites such as AirBnB, Turnkey, HomeAway, and
several others. Due to the increasing popularity of STRs, the use and operation of residential
dwelling units as lodging for temporary stays (especially within neighborhoods zoned for low-
intensity residential uses) can potentially create impacts not anticipated by the City’s current
zoning regulations. While the current Unified Development Code (UDC) regulates visitor
accommodation uses such as bed and breakfast establishments, hotels, and extended stay
hotels, there are no regulations which apply to STRs in residentially zoned districts.
Following several years of study, and applicable public hearings, the Planning and Zoning
Commission of the City of Englewood recommended expanding where Short Term Rentals are
a permitted use to R-1-A, R-1-B, R-1-C, R-2-A, R-2-B, MU-R-3-A, MU-R-3-B, MU-R-3-C, MU-B-
1, MU-B-2 zone districts, all subject to regulations aimed at limiting potential neighborhood
impacts. Please note that Title 16 currently allows various visitor accommodation uses within
M-1, M-2, M-O-2, MU-B-2, and I-1 zone districts. [*Visitor accommodation uses are uses which
permit stays of less than 30 days in duration.]
The Planning and Zoning Commission based their recommendation in part upon recognition
that short term rentals currently exist in an unregulated manner, both legally and illegally,
throughout the City of Englewood. Allowing for, and regulating, Short Term Rentals would
support the general health, safety, and welfare of the City by regulating the manner of provision
of such services and providing the City with the means to collect sales/lodging taxes on lawfully
Page 248 of 359
established STRs to underwrite the costs associated with regulation and enforcement of
established standards.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
On June 4, 2019, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended, by a vote of 7-1, to
forward the proposed language amendments to City Council with a favorable recommendation
and the following Findings of Fact:
• That Case No. 2017-03 was brought before the Planning & Zoning Commission at a
Public Hearing by the City of Englewood Community Development Department on June
4, 2019; and
• At the June 4, 2019 Public Hearing, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted 7–1 to
forward a favorable recommendation for adoption of the draft STR regulations to City
Council; and
• That notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Englewood Herald on May 22,
2019 and was posted on the City’s website May 22, 2019 through June 4, 2019; and
• That the participants in the September 20, 2018 STR Open House and the April 2, 2019
STR Forum were notified of the Public Hearing directly by email; and
• That the Planning and Zoning Commission held 14 study sessions on STR regulations
since May of 2017, and an STR Open House was held on September 20, 2018, from
which 21 surveys were collected and analyzed; and
• That the proposed STR regulatory text amendments establish permitting and operating
requirements for Short Term Rentals and identify the R-1-A, R-1-B, R-1-C, R-2-A, R-2-B,
MU-R-3-A, MU-R-3-B, MU-R-3-C, M-1, M-2, MU-B-1, MU-B-2 zone districts as suitable
for the operation of Short Term Rentals; and
• That the proposed STR regulatory text amendments conform to the vision, goals, and
objectives outlined in Englewood Forward: The 2016 Englewood Comprehensive Plan.
On December 3, 2019 the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing to discuss
Short Term Rentals; more specifically the items City Council asked to have reviewed. By a vote
of 7-0 the Commission voted to recommend the following language amendments to the existing
Council Bill #47:
A. That the previously identified and practicing short term rentals be grandfathered, as has
been the long term practice of the City.
B. That Staff's recommendations be adopted, to include that a bed and breakfast use be
synonymous with a short term rental.
C. That Accessory Dwelling Units be permitted to be used as short term rentals.
Page 249 of 359
D. That the revised short term rental text amendments include the enforcement section
agreed to by Community Development and the City Attorney's office and reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
E. That City Council instruct Staff to send a letter of apology to everyone who received a
cease and desist Notice of Violation (NOV) letter.
The Findings of Fact from this Planning and Zoning Commission meeting are attached.
A summary of the information found in the existing Council Bill #47 is as follows:
The Planning and Zoning Commission have developed, reviewed and submitted at public
hearing these draft regulations. Following careful consideration the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommends adoption by the City Council.
ANALYSIS:
In establishing new business licensing and operational regulations, the City must operate in
conformance with applicable law. Under the Colorado Constitution, home rule municipalities
have all powers necessary, requisite, or proper for the government and administration of its
local and municipal matters. Englewood Municipal Charter Sections 3 and 30 provide that the
City Council shall have all municipal legislative powers as conferred by general law. Both
common law and C.R.S. 31-15-103 empower the City Council to establish laws necessary and
proper to provide for the safety, preserve the health, promote the prosperity, and improve the
morals, order, comfort, and convenience of such municipality and the inhabitants thereof.
STR Permit Requirements
All STRs would be subject to licensing and regulations. Step 1 requires obtaining an Operating
Permit. Permit applicants would be required to provide the following information to the City and
meet the following requirements prior to being issued a STR Permit:
• Application and Fee;
• Premises Inspection
• Proof of ownership (a signed and notarized affidavit);
• Signed and notarized acknowledgement of property compliance with all City Codes and
Ordinances, safety checklist, and an acknowledgement that the City has the right of
inspection at any reasonable time;
• Waiver of liability and indemnification of the City;
• Certificate of insurance;
• A scale floor plan of the STR, including all levels;
• A scale plan for the property showing all parking areas;
• Primary owner/manager contact information, including phone numbers and addresses
(both physical and email); and
• A valid State of Colorado Sales Tax License and City of Englewood Sales and Use Tax
License, and an Englewood Lodging License.
If an STR Operating Permit is approved, it would be valid for one year and subject to renewal
and reinspection on an annual basis.
Page 250 of 359
STR Operating Standards
All STRs must adhere to specific operating requirements. These include:
• A residence used as a STR shall be the primary residence of the legal owner, except if
granted a waiver to operate in a commercial/medical district;
• STRs shall not exceed two adults per bedroom and may not exceed a maximum of eight
occupants;
• STRs shall not be rented to more than two parties under two separate contracts;
• Anyone who operates a STR shall be required to obtain an Englewood Lodging License
and Englewood Sales and Use Tax License pursuant to Title 5, Chapter 30, of the EMC;
• All STRs will be required to comply with established life safety, noise, and property
maintenance requirements; and
• STRs will be required to provide one parking space per bedroom leased. STRs lacking
a paved parking space in a driveway, garage, or carport would be limited to two on-
street parking spaces which would not be allowed to be reserved for STR guests,
thereby limiting the number of bedrooms that could lawfully be leased to two.
Posting of Information within STRs
The owner(s)/operator(s) shall post the following information inside the STR in a conspicuous
location for any renters/lessees:
• A copy of the regulations and requirements regarding Short Term Rental Operating
Permits;
• The name, address, and telephone numbers of the primary contact person,
management company, or owner of the STR that can be reached on a twenty-four hour
basis;
• The maximum number of persons allowed to occupy the STR;
• The maximum number of vehicles allowed to park on, or in front of, the STR property;
• Information regarding trash/garbage storage and removal, recycling storage and
removal, including the days and location of pick-up. Clearly defined garbage and
recycling areas shall be provided;
• The property address, including house number, street name and city;
• A list of non-emergency numbers, including the non-emergency number of the police
department; and
• The location of all fire extinguishers and exits, including egress windows.
Revocation of STR Permits
The proposed Ordinance will also grant the City the ability to revoke STR permits for properties
found to be non-compliant with the STR Ordinance or in violation of other EMC regulations.
STR permits are subject to revocation proceedings following:
• Violation of any term or condition of the operating permit, or for any violation of any
provision set forth in this Chapter;
Page 251 of 359
• Violation of any provision of the Englewood Municipal Code, City Ordinance, or state law
relating to the maintenance of the permitted property operating as an STR, or a failu re to
remain in compliance with all city or state sales tax regulations;
• The existence of any condition, or performance of any act, which the City determines
constitutes a nuisance or causes a condition endangering the health, safety and welfare
of any individual(s), or damage to the STR dwelling unit identified by the operating
permit, including damage caused by fire, flood, wind, or other natural disaster.
STR permits will also be terminated upon the sale of the property or if the property is transferred
to another owner (STR permits are non-transferrable). STR permits will expire if the operator
fails to obtain a renewal of the operating permit before its annual renewal date. If a permit has
been revoked, there is a mandatory 18-month waiting period before a new STR permit
application may be submitted to the Community Development Department.
Enforcement
The City has entered into a contract with LodgingRevs to monitor and provide staff assistance
with enforcement of Short Term Rentals.
Specific enforcement language and procedures related specifically to short term rentals are
included within these regulations.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
If approved, the Short Term Rental process would establish a permitting/registration system
which staff recommends being set at $150 per registration annually. Additionally, the operation
of a short term rental would require the owner to obtain a State Sales Tax License, an
Englewood Sales and Use Tax License, and Englewood Lodging License and would also
require the collection and remittance of sales, use and lodging tax to the City. At this price
point, the permit/registration fee would cover the City's financial cost of the third-party
enforcement agency assisting with monitoring and enforcement activities.
Additionally, each registered STR will collect both the sales and lodging tax rates on each rental
sale transaction in the amount of 5.5% (lodging tax at 2% and sales tax at 3.5%). The
registered STR is responsible for remitting use tax in the amount of 3.5% on purchases for the
STR where the local sales tax paid is less than 3.5%.
ALTERNATIVES:
THE CITY COUNCIL ALTERNATIVES ARE:
Approve Council Bill #4. Such action would impose licensing requirements and operating
regulations upon all Short Term Rental businesses.
Deny Council Bill #4. Such action would prevent the licensing and regulation of Short Term
Rental businesses.

zoning code regarding Short Term Rentals.
On July 15, 2019, the City Council held a study session to discuss Short Term Rentals. At this
study session professional staff presented the recommendations approved by the Planning and
Zoning Commission which included both modifications to the zoning code to expand those zone
districts in which Short Term Rentals would be a permitted use, and draft regulations and
licensing for Short Term Rentals.
SUMMARY:
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Short Term Rentals (STRs) are dwelling units, or a portion thereof, which are rented to guests
nightly, weekly, or for a duration of less than 30 consecutive days. Over the past few years, it
has become a popular practice nationwide for individuals to rent out rooms, condos, or entire
houses for short durations to visitors and vacationers. STRs are common in areas where hotels
Page 276 of 359
are expensive or other quality lodging options do not exist. In response to this increasing
popularity homeof -citimany sharing, STR created Range Front have es throughout the
ordinances as a way to better regulate the time, place, and manner of such uses and to provide
a potential city to impacts adverse and to address effectively more means nuisances
neighborhoods.
The availability and popularity of STRs in Englewood have been on the rise in recent years,
especially with the advent of home-sharing websites such as AirBnB, Turnkey, HomeAway, and
several others. Due to the increasing popularity of STRs, the use and operation of residential
dwelling units as lodging for temporary stays (especially within neighborhoods zoned for low-
intensity residential uses) can potentially create impacts not anticipated by the City’s current
zoning regulations. While the current Unified Development Code (UDC) regulates visitor
accommodation uses such as bed and breakfast establishments, hotels, and extended stay
hotels, there are no regulations which apply to STRs in residentially zoned districts.
Following several years of study, and applicable public hearings, the Planning and Zoning
Commission of the City of Englewood recommended expanding where Short Term Rentals are
a permitted use to R-1-A, R-1-B, R-1-C, R-2-A, R-2-B, MU-R-3-A, MU-R-3-B, MU-R-3-C, MU-B-
1, MU-B-2 zone districts, all subject to regulations aimed at limiting potential neighborhood
impacts. Please note that Title 16 currently allows various visitor accommodation uses within
M-1, M-2, M-O-2, MU-B-2, and I-1 zone districts. [*Visitor accommodation uses are uses which
permit stays of less than 30 days in duration.]
The Planning and Zoning Commission based their recommendation in part upon recognition
that short term rentals currently exist in an unregulated manner, both legally and illegally,
throughout the City of Englewood. Allowing for, and regulating, Short Term Rentals would
support the general health, safety, and welfare of the City by regulating the manner of provision
of such services and providing the City with the means to collect sales/lodging taxes on lawfully
established STRs to underwrite the costs associated with regulation and enforcement of
established standards.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
On June 4, 2019, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended, by a vote of 7-1, to
forward the proposed language amendments to City Council with a favorable recommendation
and the following Findings of Fact:
• That Case No. 2017-03 was brought before the Planning & Zoning Commission at a
Public Hearing by the City of Englewood Community Development Department on June
4, 2019; and
• At the June 4, 2019 Public Hearing, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted 7–1 to
forward a favorable recommendation for adoption of the draft STR regulations to City
Council; and
• That notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Englewood Herald on May 22,
2019 and was posted on the City’s website May 22, 2019 through June 4, 2019; and
• That the participants in the September 20, 2018 STR Open House and the April 2, 2019
STR Forum were notified of the Public Hearing directly by email; and
Page 277 of 359
• That the Planning and Zoning Commission held 14 study sessions on STR regulations
since May of 2017, and an STR Open House was held on September 20, 2018, from
which 21 surveys were collected and analyzed; and
• That the proposed STR regulatory text amendments establish permitting and operating
requirements for Short Term Rentals and identify the R-1-A, R-1-B, R-1-C, R-2-A, R-2-B,
MU-R-3-A, MU-R-3-B, MU-R-3-C, M-1, M-2, MU-B-1, MU-B-2 zone districts as suitable
for the operation of Short Term Rentals; and
• That the proposed STR regulatory text amendments conform to the vision, goals, and
objectives outlined in Englewood Forward: The 2016 Englewood Comprehensive Plan.
On December 3, 2019 the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing to discuss
Short Term Rentals; more specifically the items City Council asked to have reviewed. By a vote
of 7-0 the Commission voted to recommend the following language amendments to the existing
Council Bill #47:
A. That the previously identified and practicing short term rentals be grandfathered, as has
been the long term practice of the City.
B. That Staff's recommendations be adopted, to include that a bed and breakfast use be
synonymous with a short term rental.
C. That Accessory Dwelling Units be permitted to be used as short term rentals.
D. That the revised short term rental text amendments include the enforcement section
agreed to by Community Development and the City Attorney's office and reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
E. That City Council instruct Staff to send a letter of apology to everyone who received a
cease and desist Notice of Violation (NOV) letter.
ANALYSIS:
The City's Unified Development Code (UDC), Title 16 of the Englewood Municipal Code, was
adopted by the City of Englewood to provide for the uniform regulation of land development in
the City, in accordance with a Comprehensive Plan and established standards, procedures, and
enforcement provisions to encourage and facilitate land use and the division, transfer and
conveyance of land by designating and regulating the distribution and location of buildings,
structures, and land for residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, or other appropriate
uses. The Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Englewood, as lawfully appointed by
the City Council, recommends expanding the uses permitted within certain zoning districts to
allow for short term rentals if, and only if, such short term rentals are well regulated and properly
licensed.
Amendments to the text of Title 16 are appropriate when "events, trends, or facts evident after
adoption of the text of this Title have changed the character or condit ion of the community so as
to make the proposed amendment consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and the
Page 278 of 359
amendment is necessary to promote the public health, safety, or welfare of the community."
EMC 16-2-6(F)(2).
Additionally, EMC 16-2-6 provides that "whenever the public necessity, convenience, health,
safety, general welfare, or appropriate zoning practice justifies an amendment to any section of
this Title, and after the amendment has been submitted at a public hearing for consideration and
recommendation by the Commission, the Council may, after a public hearing on the proposed
text amendment, change the text of this Title."
The following proposed amendments were developed, reviewed, and presented at two public
hearings:
Allowed Zone Districts
STRs would be allowed in the following Residential, Multi-Use, and Medical zone districts:
• R-1-A, R-1-B, R-1-C: Single Unit Residential
• R-2-A, R-2-B:
Low/Mid Density Single & Multi-Dwelling
Residential
• MU-R-3-A, MU-R-3-B, MU-R-3-C:
Mixed Use Low/Medium Density
Residential/Limited Office
• M-1, M-2:
Mixed Use Medical/Office/High Density Res./
Limited Retail
Enforcement
The City has entered into a contract with LodgingRevs to monitor and provide staff assistance
with enforcement of Short Term Rentals. Additionally, mandatory licensing provisions and health
and safety regulations, as developed and revievwed by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and set forth in Title 5 of the Englewood Municipal Code, will be enforced through a specific
enforcement plan set forth in that Title.
Bed and Breakfast Uses - In order to address potential conflict between bed and breakfast
uses and short term rentals, the Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended that the
two uses be synonymous with one another. The two uses are nearly identical in terms of land
use, and it is recommended the same licensing provisions apply to both uses. Therefore, at
First this reflect to amended be to need would #47 Bill Council existing the Reading,
recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, as well as a change to Section 16-5-
1 Table of Allowed Uses changing the zone district permissions of Bed and Breakfast to match
that of Short Term Rentals should City Council direct those changes be incorporated into the
bill..
The current definition of Bed and Breakfast states: "A specific type of visitor accommodation
use. A commercial establishment operated in an owner-occupied, one-unit dwelling unit, or
portion thereof (including an accessory building), that provides short-term visitor lodging
Page 279 of 359
(generally stays of thirty (30) days or less), with or without the service of a morning meal only,
and where the operator lives on the premises. No more than six (6) guests may be
accommodated at any one time. See definition of 'Visitor Accommodation'. "
The recommended definition of Bed and Breakfast states: "A Short Term Rental and specific
type of visitor accommodation use. The nightly or weekly rental of a residential dwelling unit, or
portion thereof (including an accessory building), ancillary to a primary living use, with or wit hout
the service of a morning meal and where the operator lives on premises, excluding hotels and
motels for less than thirty (30) days, including but not limited to, a single family dwelling, duplex,
townhome, condominium, or similar dwelling. No more than eight (8) guests may be
accommodated at any one time. Bed and Breakfast uses must comply with the regulations
stated by EMC 16-5-6."
Furthermore, note that the current definition of Bed and Breakfast and the recommend definition
would permit said uses in an accessory building to include accessory dwelling units (ADU's).
Currently there are no business licenses for a bed and breakfast use within Englewood.
Conformance with Englewood Forward Goals and Objectives
The STR code amendment is in conformance with the goals and objectives found in Englewood
Forward: The 2016 Englewood Comprehensive Plan: Some of the specific objectives in the
Comprehensive Plan include:
Goal Live-1: Promote a balanced mix of housing opportunities serving the needs of
current and future Englewood citizens.
Objective Live-1.1: Allow for housing that meets the needs of all income groups,
including appropriate type and location of housing.
Objective Live-1.2: Allow for housing investments that improve the housing mix and serve
different life cycle stages and groups with special needs in appropriate locations, including
both smaller and larger unit sizes and a wider range of housing types, including single-
family, duplex, townhome, condominium, multi-family, and accessory dwelling units.
Goal Work-2: Build, attract, and retain a quality workforce.
Objective Work-2.2: Create and maintain workforce housing meeting the needs of both
employers and employees.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
If approved, the Short Term Rental process would establish a permitting/registration system
which staff recommends being set at $150 per registration annually. Additionally, the operation
of a short term rental would require the owner to obtain a State Sales Tax License, an
Englewood Sales and Use Tax License, and Englewood Lodging License and would also
require the collection and remittance of sales, use and lodging tax to the City. At this price
point, the permit/registration fee would cover the City's financial cost of the third-party
enforcement agency assisting with monitoring and enforcement activities.
Page 280 of 359
Additionally, each registered STR will collect both the sales and lodging tax rates on each rental
sale transaction in the amount of 5.5% (lodging tax at 2% and sales tax at 3.5%). The
registered STR is responsible for remitting use tax in the amount of 3.5% on purchases for the
STR where the local sales tax paid is less than 3.5%.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Maria DAndrea, Pieter Van Ry
DEPARTMENT: Utilities
DATE: February 18, 2020
SUBJECT:
City of Englewood's Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility Rate & Fee
Study Consultant Selection
DESCRIPTION:
City of Englewood's Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility Rate & Fee Study Consultant Selection
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends that Council approve, by Motion, an agreement with Stantec Consulting
Services Inc., for the City of Englewood's Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility Rate & Fee Study, in
the amount of $122,710.00. Staff also recommends the approval of a 10% contingency in the
amount of $12,271.00, for a total project cost of $134,981.00.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Council approval of the 2020 City of Englewood's Water and Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund
Budgets.
There has been no previous Council action on the 2020 City of Englewood's Water and Sanitary
Sewer Utility Rate & Fee Study, however South Platte Water Renewal Partners (SPWRP)
completed a Cost of Service Analysis in 2019, the results of which are integral to this project.
SUMMARY:
Englewood is a community of approximately 30,000 residents, founded in 1858 and
incorporated in 1903. Much of Englewood’s water and sanitary sewer infrastructure was
installed in the post-World War II era of the 1940’s, 1950’s, and 1960’s. Due to the age of this
original infrastructure and as a result of several years of deferred maintenance, the City initiated
a planning process in late 2019 to address the water and sanitary sewer infrastructure needs
well into the future. This Water and Sanitary Sewer Master Plan, which has been in
development since the fall of 2019, provides the basis upon which rates and fees are
developed.
The purpose of the City's Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility Rate & Fee Study is to provide
defensible, industry standard rationale for the establishment of Water and Sanitary Sewer
Enterprise Fund rates and fees. Establishing accurate rates, fees and charges is an important
component of a well-managed water and sanitary sewer utility. The primary purpose of rates
and fees for a utility are to recover sufficient revenues to cover costs. Understanding the full
financial needs of a utility allows for development of accurate rates and fees which provides
sufficient funding for the City to operate, maintain and reinvest in water and sanitary sewer
infrastructure. This in turn, leads to a strong and sustainable community.
Page 305 of 359
It has been several years since a comprehensive rate and fee study for the water and sanitary
sewer utilities has been completed and as a result several aspects of the charges are out of
date. By completing this study those charges can be updated to current industry methodology to
ensure that the City is capturing the required revenue to operate the water and sanitary sewer
utilities effectively.
Currently, the City of Englewood is completing a Water and Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. The
results of this plan are important to understanding how the capital and operational needs over
the next 10 years translate into revenue requirements from the rate payers. Using this
information and investing in the rate and fee study will ensure that the City has a complete
picture of enterprise financial needs, as well as a system of rates and charges that can provide
a long-term solution to the unique financial challenges ahead.
Finally, the South Platte Water Renewal Partners (SPWRP) utilizes the City of Englewood to
charge connector districts for wastewater treatment services. In 2019, SPWRP completed a
Cost of Service Analysis to establish the required rate and fee revenue to be charged to all of its
customers. The results of that analysis will be incorporated into the comprehensive rate and fee
study for the City of Englewood's Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund. Completion of this study is
critical to ensuring that the appropriate charges are being passed on to connector districts in a
fair and equitable manner and that adequate revenue is received.
ANALYSIS:
In 2019, SPWRP in coordination with the City of Englewood Finance Department, solicited for
consultant services to complete the SPWRP Cost of Service Analysis by issuing a request for
proposal (RFP) on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing website. Stantec Consulting Inc.
responded to that RFP, provided the lowest bid, and was selected to complete the project. The
results of the SPWRP Cost of Service Analysis are integral to the City’s Sanitary Sewer Rate
and Fee Study since the SPWRP budget is by far the largest component of the City’s Sanitary
Sewer Enterprise Fund budget. Additionally, a significant focus of the City's Sanitary Sewer
Rate and Fee Study is to further evaluate and standardize, where possible, the sanitary sewer
connector agreements which were also analyzed as part of the SPWRP Cost of Service
Analysis.
Stantec was originally selected through a competitive bidding process and to date, has
performed well on the project. Since a significant amount of the work on the City's Sanitary
Sewer Rate and Fee Study builds upon the SPWRP Cost of Service work, Stantec is being
selected as an optimal source for the City's Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility Rate & Fee Study.
City staff subsequently requested a proposal from Stantec for these additional services. The
results of that proposal are listed in the table below.
Stantec Proposal Proposal Cost
Water Enterprise Fund Rate & Fee Study $60,730.00
Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund Rate & Fee
Study $61,980.00
Total: $122,710.00
The SPWRP Director along with the City of Englewood Finance Director, reviewed the proposal
and recommend the selection of Stantec as the consultant for the City's Water and Sanitary
Sewer Utility Rate & Fee Study. Stantec provided a clear understanding of the City of
Page 306 of 359
Englewood’s needs, established a timeline of deliverables, provided competitive pricing, has
foundational knowledge of the project through their prior work with SPWRP and has extensive
experience conducting similar studies.
In their proposal, Stantec demonstrated their ability to meet the project objectives, which
included:
• Preparing detailed cost-of-service analyses and design of proposed water and sanitary
sewer rate and fee requirements
• Preparing a long-term financial plan
• Preparing water and sanitary sewer tap fees
• Evaluating and recommending modifications to Sanitary Sewer Connector Agreements
• Preparing a miscellaneous fees/charges analyses
• Participating in the public process
• Preparing draft and final reports
• Creating financial models
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds for this project are available in each individual enterprise fund budget as outlined in the
Contract Approval Summary attached to this council communication.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternative to not completing this study, is to continue to perform short-term, one-year rate
and fee adjustments in an ad-hoc manner. As a result, the City of Englewood will lack the
necessary analysis and documentation required to properly adjust water and sanitary sewer
rates and fees in a more strategic manner. This will result in the City continuing to operate
without long-term financial planning models necessary to adequately fund the required
improvements to the water and sanitary sewer utilities.
CONCLUSION:
The City of Englewood Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility Rate & Fee Study is crucial to the
ongoing financial stability of these two enterprise funds. Given the significant required
investments anticipated to address the aging infrastructure and ongoing deferred maintenance,
this Rate and Fee study is critical to allowing the City to establish a long-term plan to fund these
needs. This study will provide the City with the necessary financial plan to operate these utilities
in a fiscally responsible manner well into the future. Therefore, staff recommends an award of
contract to Stantec to complete the City's Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility Rate & Fee Study for
the City of Englewood. Stantec has the experience, approach, and expertise to complete the
scope of the project and meet all project objectives.

obligations of City are expressly dependent and
conditioned upon the continuing availability of
funds beyond the term of City's current fiscal
period ending upon the next succeeding
December 31. Financial obligations of City
payable after the current fiscal year are
contingent upon funds for that purpose being
appropriated, budgeted, and otherwise made
available in accordance with the rules,
regulations, and resolutions of City and
applicable law. Upon the failure to appropriate
such funds, this Agreement shall be deemed
terminated.
(f) Return of Property. Upon
termination of this Agreement, both parties
agree to return to the other all property
(including any Confidential Information, as
defined in Section 11) of the other party that it
may have in its possession or control. The only
exception to the above is that the Consultant
may retain one copy of the Confidential
Information for archival purposes, under the
same confidentiality conditions as described
herein.
9. City Obligations. City will provide
timely access to City personnel, systems and
information required for Consultant to perform
its obligations hereunder. City shall provide to
Consultant’s employees performing its
obligations hereunder at City’s premises,
without charge, a reasonable work environment
in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations, including office space, furniture,
telephone service, and reproduction, computer,
facsimile, secretarial and other necessary
equipment, supplies, and services. With respect
to all third party hardware or software operated
by or on behalf of City, City shall, at no expense
to Consultant, obtain all consents, licenses and
sublicenses necessary for Consultant to
perform under the Statements of Work and shall
pay any fees or other costs associated with
obtaining such consents, licenses and
sublicenses.
10. Staff. Consultant is an independent
consultant and neither Consultant nor
Consultant’s staff is, or shall be deemed to be
employed by City. City is hereby contracting
with Consultant for the Services described in a
Statement of Work and Consultant reserves the
right to determine the method, manner and
means by which the Services will be performed.
The Services shall be performed by Consultant
or Consultant’s staff, and City shall not be
required to hire, supervise or pay any assistants
to help Consultant perform the Services under
this Agreement. Except to the extent that
Consultant’s work must be performed on or with
City’s computers or City’s existing software, all
materials used in providing the Services shall be
provided by Consultant.
11. Confidential Information.
(a) Obligations. Each party hereto may
receive from the other party information which
relates to the other party’s business, research,
development, trade secrets or business affairs
(“Confidential Information”). Subject to the
provisions and exceptions set forth in the
Colorado Open Records Act, CRS Section 24-
72-201 et. seq., each party shall protect all
Confidential Information of the other party with
the same degree of care as it uses to avoid
unauthorized use, disclosure, publication or
dissemination of its own confidential information
of a similar nature, but in no event less than a
reasonable degree of care. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each party hereto
agrees not to disclose or permit any other
person or entity access to the other party’s
Confidential Information except such disclosure
or access shall be permitted to an employee,
agent, representative or independent consultant
of such party requiring access to the same in
order to perform his or her employment or
services. Each party shall insure that their
employees, agents, representatives, and
independent consultants are advised of the
confidential nature of the Confidential
Information and are precluded from taking any
action prohibited under this Section 11. Further,
each party agrees not to alter or

PSA # 20-13
remove any identification, copyright or other
proprietary rights notice which indicates the
ownership of any part of such Confidential
Information by the other party. A party hereto
shall undertake to immediately notify the other
party in writing of all circumstances surrounding
any possession, use or knowledge of
Confidential Information at any location or by
any person or entity other than those authorized
by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall
restrict either party with respect to information or
data identical or similar to that contained in the
Confidential Information of the other party but
which (1) that party rightfully possessed before
it received such information from the other as
evidenced by written documentation; (2)
subsequently becomes publicly available
through no fault of that party; (3) is subsequently
furnished rightfully to that party by a third party
without restrictions on use or disclosure; or (4)
is required to be disclosed by law, provided that
the disclosing party will exercise reasonable
efforts to notify the other party prior to
disclosure, if the terms of the order allow it.
(b) Know -How. For the avoidance of
doubt neither City nor Consultant shall be
prevented from making use of know-how and
principles learned or experience gained of a
non-proprietary and non-confidential nature.
(c) Remedies. Each of the parties
hereto agree that if, their officers, employees or
anyone obtaining access to the Confidential
Information of the other party by, through or
under them, breaches any provision of this
Section 11, the non-breaching party shall be
entitled to an accounting and repayment of all
profits, compensation, commissions,
remunerations and benefits which the breaching
party, its officers or employees directly realize or
may realize as a result of or growing out of, or in
connection with any such breach. In addition to,
and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event
of any breach of this Section 11, the parties
agree that the non- breaching party may suffer
irreparable harm
and that the total amount of monetary damages
for any such injury to the non- breaching party
arising from a violation of this Section 11 may
be impossible to calculate and may therefore be
an inadequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the
parties agree that the non-breaching party shall
be entitled to apply for temporary and
permanent injunctive relief against the
breaching party, its officers or employees and
such other rights and remedies to which the
non-breaching party may be entitled to at law, in
equity or under this Agreement for any violation
of this Section 11. The provisions of this Section
11 shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Agreement for any reason.
12. Project Managers. Each party shall
designate one of its employees to be its Project
Manager under each Statement of Work, who
shall act for that party on all matters under the
Statement of Work. Each party shall notify the
other in writing of any replacement of a Project
Manager. The Project Managers for each
Statement of Work shall meet as often as either
one requests to review the status of the
Statement of Work.
13. Warranties.
(a) Authority. Consultant represents
and warrants that: (1) Consultant has the full
corporate right, power and authority to enter into
this Agreement and to perform the acts required
of it hereunder; (2) the execution of this
Agreement by Consultant, and the performance

hereunder, do not and will not violate any
agreement to which Consultant is a party or by
which it is otherwise bound under any applicable
law, rule or regulation; (3) when executed and
delivered by Consultant, this Agreement will
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation
of such party, enforceable against such party in
accordance with its terms; and (4) Consultant
acknowledges that City makes no
representations, warranties or agreements
related to the subject matter

the foregoing indemnification obligation shall
not apply to any infringement or

prejudice in the proceeding of any matters in
respect of which the indemnity may apply and of
which the notifying party has knowledge.

annual revenue requirements and alternative rate adjustments. As part of the analysis, we will
examine historical operating expenses, growth and water use trends, alternative capital
spending levels, debt service coverage ratios, levels of operating and capital reserves, and
other financial policies that drive the revenue requirements of the utility. Through meetings
with City staff, we will evaluate alternative capital funding scenarios for each of the Water and
Sewer Funds.
Water Fund: The Water Fund financial management plan will allow for an independent review
of the water system revenues and expenses. Alternative rate plans will be developed in
conjunction with City staff to propose adjustments to the City’s water rates that are needed to
maintain a sustainable Water Fund.
Sewer Fund: The Sewer Fund financial management plan will include the City’s share of
treatment component costs estimated by SPWRP. In addition, the City’s sewer collection system
costs will be incorporated to develop a full understanding of Sewer Fund obligations. We will
include the City’s revenues and cost obligations for its connectors. The analysis will enable the
City to determine its ability to fund its share of SPWRP capital improvements as well as the
City’s own Master Plan improvements.
Task 3: Cost-of-Service Analyses
A cost-of-service analysis for each of the Water and Sewer Funds will be completed to
calculate the cost of providing service to each of the specific customer classes served by the
City, including connector sewer customers. Cost allocations will be developed based on the
City’s systems and customer characteristics. This understanding will allow for a cost-of-
service-based evaluation of the current and proposed rate components.
Water Fund: Cost allocations for the City’s Water Fund will follow the American Water Works
Association (AWWA) methodologies and will be based on the City’s system characteristics.
When this task is complete, the City will be able to compare the current revenue recovery
levels by class of customer to cost-of-service allocations. The findings will influence our
recommendations on rate adjustments.
Sewer Fund: Cost-of-service allocations for the Sewer Fund are expected to be based on
treatment (the City’s share of costs from SPWRP), collection, and administrative. We will
discuss details with City staff to determine the level of information needed to determine
appropriate costs to be recovered from the City’s different rate components. Allocations will
also identify costs to be recovered from Sanitation District customers as well as permitted
industrial users.
Task 4: Rate Development
The rate development task combines the proposed rate adjustments from Task 2 with the
cost allocations findings in Task 3. Our first step is to evaluate the current rates and rate
structures in terms of common evaluation criteria such as legality, equity, customer
understanding, and administrative burden. We will suggest alternatives to the existing rate
structures if small changes improve these criteria. The intent of our web-based meetings with
City staff is to evaluate proposed adjustments to specific rate components (i.e. fixed charges
vs. volume rates). We will prepare customer bill impact graphics for any proposed
adjustments.
Page 324 of 359
Water Fund: Current water rates include a quarterly administrative fee, a minimum charge by
meter size, and a two-tiered usage rate structure for inside versus outside metered
customers. The City also serves unmetered water customers and charges a flat rate based
on household characteristics such as number of rooms, baths, and cars per family. This rate
development task will evaluate the sufficiency of each rate component in recovering the costs
of serving customer types and possible adjustments to the City’s rate structure that may
better meet the City’s goals for rates.
Sewer Fund: The City’s sewer customers are billed either quarterly or annually. Rates vary
based on location inside or outside the City, as well as level of service such as treatment only
or treatment plus sewer collection. Additional charges are assessed based on the City’s
connector agreements. After a review of how well the current rates and rate structures meet
the City’s goals, we will propose adjustments to the rates to recover the Sewer Fund revenue
requirements. A review of the City’s current policy for surcharging permitted industrial users
is part of this task. We will also recommend adjustments to the connector rates if needed,
based on the findings of Task 6 in the Sewer Fund study.
Task 5: Comparative Rate Surveys
Stantec will prepare rate surveys of the existing and proposed rates and rate structures and
connection fees, for each customer class for the City and up to 12 neighboring communities.
We will review the findings of the survey during the second interactive work session on rates.
Task 6: (Sewer Fund): Review & Development of Connector Agreements, Rates, & Fees
The Sewer Fund’s connectors are integral to the operations of the City’s sewer collection
system and SPWRP treatment. This task in the Sewer Fund study will require a review of all
11 agreements and a work session to coordinate understanding of the agreements’ content,
services provided, and rates and fees. The goal of the first work session is to work with
knowledgeable participants to prepare a summary table of all agreement elements. We aim to
reach a consensus regarding the connector agreements and discuss the potential for
improving consistency among the agreements. After the first work session, Stantec will
prepare recommendations for areas of improvement in the agreements. Our second work
session will review proposed changes with City staff and result in action items for
implementing agreed-on recommendations.
Task 6/7: Review & Development of Connection Fees
While this task is listed as Task 6 (Water Fund) and 7 (Sewer Fund), Stantec will review
existing connection fees in conjunction with Task 2. We will review the City’s recent capital
improvement programs, existing ordinances, master planning documents, and other
necessary data to update the water and sewer connection fees. We have already reviewed
the treatment connection fees for the City during the SPWRP treatment rates and fees study
and will use the model and information gathered for this task.
Task 7/8: Models & Training
We will prepare the City’s financial plans using Stantec’s FAMS financial modeling platform to
model operations of the City’s water and sewer collection systems. The model allows for side-
by-side comparisons of scenarios and will allow for quick and easy review of all aspects of the
study. We will develop customized user manuals to accompany the models and provide one
day of on-site model training for City staff.
Page 325 of 359
Task 8/9: Draft & Final Reports
A consolidated Draft Report and Final Draft Report will be prepared for the City that
documents the findings and methodologies for both the Water and Sewer Funds. A summary
of the connector agreements task will be provided as an appendix to the reports.
We will prepare a summary presentation of the final results and recommendations and present
the findings at a meeting with City Council, City Manager and staff no later than September
2020.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Dan Poremba
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
DATE: February 18, 2020
SUBJECT: Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with SkanlanKemperBard (SKB)
DESCRIPTION:
Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with SkanlanKemperBard (SKB)
RECOMMENDATION:
In accordance with a recommendation from the Englewood Environmental Foundation (EEF)
Board, approved by motion at the February 4, 2020 EEF Board Meeting, Community
Development staff recommends that the City Council approve by motion the execution of an
Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) between the City/EEF and SkanlanKemperBard of
Portland, Oregon (also referred to as SKB). The City and EEF are each parties to the ENA
which reflects the selection of SKB as the preferred master developer for the City to partner with
in redeveloping the “City Property” at Englewood CityCenter. This is the property owned or
controlled by the City and EEF as shown in blue on the attached site plan.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff and Council initiated exploration of the redevelopment of the City Property in connection
with the August 2018 foreclosure of the former Weingarten Realty property by C-III Asset
Management of Dallas, Texas (C-III), also previously referred to as the “C-III Property,” as
shown in red on the attached site plan.
At the April 22, 2019 City Council Study Session, Council authorized Community Development
staff to issue a Master Developer Request for Proposals (RFP) pertaining to redevelopment of
the City Property at CityCenter. Council has been briefed at key points throughout the overall
procurement process.
SUMMARY:
This ENA recommendation represents the culmination of a formal competitive procurement
process authorized by City Council and managed by staff to identify a preferred master
developer for the City to partner with in redeveloping the City Property at Englewood CityCenter.
The ENA will be the first of three anticipated agreements between the City/EEF and SKB, each
requiring Council review and approval.
Staff presented its recommendation of SKB as the preferred master developer at the December
16, 2019 Council Study Session. At that time, Staff also recommended the preparation of the
Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with SKB for Council’s subsequent review and approval (as
also addressed in prior Study Session updates). During the January 27, 2020 Council Study
Session, SKB was introduced to Council and several members of SKB senior management

team presented SKB’s qualifications and initial CityCenter redevelopment ideas to Council.
Council indicated its consent to the completion of the ENA for Council’s subsequent
consideration.
ANALYSIS:
To recap the Council discussions over the past year regarding CityCenter redevelopment, the
key points are included here for Council’s reference.
• CityCenter currently represents a dated and fading concept with low-density uses and
excessive surface parking.
• The need for CityCenter redevelopment has been well documented in the City’s recent
planning studies, and in two recent independent studies of the Urban Land Institute.
• Due to the strength of the Metro Denver real estate market, Englewood has a timely
opportunity to guide the redevelopment of CityCenter to re-establish it as Englewood’s
“central place” with a more viable and sustainable financial future.
• Redevelopment can significantly improve CityCenter’s mix of uses, activity levels,
walkability, financial sustainability, property values and related City revenues.
• Englewood is receiving no current income from its significant CityCenter property
interests and, in fact, the City is incurring substantial costs to maintain these interests.
Redevelopment will enable Englewood to generate new revenues from these property
interests.
In addition to staff’s positive assessment of SKB’s experience, values, creativity and long-term
willingness to collaboratively partner with Englewood, specific factors that support the selection
of SKB for the master developer role on the City Property include:
• SKB’s specific experience partnering with municipalities on complex, mixed-use and
transit-oriented projects, including redevelopments.
• SKB demonstrated the highest level of continuing interest in both the City Property and
the former Weingarten Property.
• Due to SKB’s interest in also acquiring the former Weingarten property, the selection of
SKB preserves the possibility that the City Property and former Weingarten property
could be combined under common ownership, which would be a favorable scenario for
the City.
• SKB has demonstrated a commitment to the high level of public outreach that
Englewood desires.
• SKB has extensive real estate finance capabilities including relationships with
institutional investors and Opportunity Zone financing experience.
• The SKB team includes Tryba Architects, which has been performing conceptual
planning work for the City, and Tryba Architects was involved in the original CityCenter
redevelopment planning – this level of continuity will be valuable for Englewood.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The continuing steps to select and contract with a preferred master developer for the City
Property at CityCenter require that certain professional consultants’ fees be funded from the
approved 2020 Community Development professional services budget. As previously approved
by the EEF Board and Council, EEF is funding related Special Counsel legal fees from its
Central Cash-Unrestricted Balance account ($90,000 approved in 2019 and up to $150,000
approved for 2020).

These expenditures should allow Englewood to generate new net revenues from its CityCenter
property interests as redevelopment takes place in the coming years. These pre-development
expenditures also support the City’s proactive efforts to protect and enhance property values,
property taxes and sales taxes within and adjacent to CityCenter.
CONCLUSION:
Subject to approval by Council, the ENA will guide the subsequent process of negotiating a
Predevelopment Agreement (PDA) between the City/EEF and SKB, which will also be subject to
EEF Board and Council approval. This is expected to take approximately 90 days. The PDA
would govern the subsequent process of formulating a mutually-acceptable Master
Development Agreement (MDA) between the City/EEF and SKB.
Subject to EEF Board and City Council approval, the MDA would govern the parties’ long-term
public/private partnership relationship. It is expected that the MDA could be completed by year-
end 2020. According to the Special Counsel advising EEF and the City Council in these matters,
these are the steps customarily followed by municipalities in structuring master real estate
development agreements.
