COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Maria DAndrea
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DATE: October 7, 2019
SUBJECT:
CB 36 - Encroachment License and Indemnification Agreement for
3145 S Sherman Street
DESCRIPTION:
CB 36 - Encroachment License and Indemnification Agreement for 3145 S Sherman Street
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approving a bill for an Ordinance for an Encroachment License and
Indemnification Agreement to the property owners at 3145 S. Sherman Street.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
N/A
SUMMARY:
The property owner for 3145 S Sherman Street submitted a request for a license to encroach
approximately 5.20 feet (at the widest point) into the City Ditch in order to construct a detached
garage on the property. The Water and Sewer Board approved the license at their July 9, 2019
meeting. The Board of Adjustments and Appeals approved a variance to allow an encroachment
of the garage into the rear setback at their July 10, 2019 meeting.
ANALYSIS:
The City Ditch easement transects the parcel for 3145 S Sherman Street. This limits the amount
of available land on the parcel where a garage could be constructed. The property owner has
worked with staff to place the garage in a location that minimizes encroachment on the
easement and also meets zoning criteria, except for the rear yard setback.
A 6-foot rear yard setback is required in the R-2-B zone district. The garage would encroach 3
feet into this setback distance. A variance to allow encroachment into the rear yard setback was
brought before the Board of Adjustments and Appeals on July 10, 2019. The variance was
approved by the Board.
The Encroachment License and Indemnification Agreement was considered by the Water and
Sewer Board at their July 9, 2019 meeting. The Board recommended approval of the agreement
as this section of the ditch drains through a pipe installed in 2016 and the encroachment should
not affect operations and maintenance of the ditch by the city.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
Page 16 of 137
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends approving a bill for an Ordinance for an Encroachment License and
Indemnification Agreement to the property owners at 3145 S. Sherman Street.

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.
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 -STR created have Front Range cities throughout many sharing, the
ordinances as a way to better regulate the time, place, and manner of such uses and to provid e
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
Page 46 of 137
hotels, there are no regulations which apply to STRs. Short term rentals are not currently
allowed in Englewood, however, at any given time of year there are a number of Englewood
properties listed on short term rental websites.
The draft regulations to permit STRs to operate within the City, while limiting potential
neighborhood impacts, are attached. It should be noted that under the current Englewood
Municipal Code, STRs are defined as visitor accommodations and are not permitted in the
following zone districts: R1A, R1B, R1C, R2A, R2B, MUR3A, MUR3B, MUR3C, MUB1, MUB2.
The proposed regulations would allow for STRs in all of those districts. Certain updates to
language within the existing Chapter 16 would be necessary to avoid conflict between these
proposed regulations and existing portions of the Englewood Code, including sections 16-11-
1(D)(3)(c); 16-11-1(D)(1)(d); 16-11-1(F)(18) and 16-11-2.
If an STR Ordinance is adopted, staff recommends current STR operators be given a grace
period in which to become compliant with the new Ordinance. No existing STR operation would
be exempted from complying with these regulations. All STRs lawfully established within the
City of Englewood would be required to become compliant with these regulations through the
established process. The Ordinance would also grant the City authority to revoke STR permits
when properties are not in compliance with the approved and adopted regulations.
Finally, it should be noted that a Short Term Rental Ordinance would provide the City with the
means to monitor the number of lawfully established STRs.
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 to Mid Density Single and Multi -Dwelling Unit
Residential
• MU-R-3-A, MU-R-3-B,MU-R-3-C: Mixed Use Low to Medium Density Residential
and Limited Office
• M-1, M-2: Mixed Use Medical, Office, High Density
Residential, Limited Retail
STR Permit Requirements
All STR 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;
• 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;
Page 47 of 137
• 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, City of Englewood Sales and Use Tax
License, and an Englewood Lodging License.
If an STR permit is approved, it would be valid for one year and subject to renewal on an annual
basis.
STR Operating Standards
Once an operating permit is obtained, all STRs must adhere to specific operating requirements
set forth in the STR Ordinance. These include:
• A residence used as a STR shall be the primary residence of the legal owner;
• Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) may be used as an STR. However, only the residence
OR the ADU may be granted a STR permit; both structures may not be permitted
concurrently;
• 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 one party under 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 all life safety, noise, and property maintenance
requirements set forth in the approved Ordinance; and
• STR’s would be required to provide one parking space per bedroom. 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.
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:
Page 48 of 137
• 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 may be revoked after three sustained violations of the following:
• Violation of any term or condition of the operating permit, or for any violation of any
provision set forth in this Chapter;
• 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 failure 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
Page 49 of 137
The City will be entering into a contract shortly with LodgingRevs to monitor and provide staff
assistance with enforcement of Short Term Rentals.
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.
Obj. Live-1.1: Allow for housing that meets the needs of all income groups, including
appropriate type and location of housing.
Obj. 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.
Obj. Work-2.2: Create and maintain workforce housing meeting the needs of both employers
and employees.
ANALYSIS:
The City's Zoning Code was adopted prior to the advent of short term rentals. While those
provisions of the code detailing visitor accommodation can be understood to prohibit the
existence of STRs within some zoning districts within the City, there are no regulations detailing
health, safety and welfare standards for those STRs which are operating lawfully.
Amendments to the text of Title 16 are appropriate when "[e]vents, trends, or facts evident after
adoption of the text of this Title 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."
EMC 16-2-6(F)(2).
Additionally, EMC 16-2-6 provides that "[w]henever 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."
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
If approved the Short Term Rental process would establish a permitting/registration system
which city 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
Page 50 of 137
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%.

collective capacity to deliver quality city services, enhance public safety, and reinvigorated our
existing city infrastructure. Despite our fiscal challenges, this budget maintains our commitments
through 2020. However, continued long-term planning and prioritization with the City Council
