RECOMMENDED ACTION
Community D evelopm ent seeks Counci l support fo r a bill fo r an ordinan ce approvin g am endments
to Ti tl e 16 (Unified Development Code) of the Englewood Municipal Code pertai nin g to M edica l
Zone and O ve rla y Di stricts. Staff further re commends that Council sc hedule a public hea ring on
Jul y 6, 2009 to ga th er publi c i,1put on thi s issu e and another closely related ordina nce amending th e
Official Zoning Map (agenda item 11 a iii) .
BACKGROUN , ANALYSIS, AND DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
Background
The origi nal impetl!S fo r th e Medical Zone and Overl ay District Amendments to Titl e 16 of the
U nified Deve lopm ent Code and th e related but sepa rate ordin ance to ame nd the Official Z on in g
Map to rezone a portion of the Medical District to M-1 and M-2 Mixed Use Medical Zone D is tricts,
was Council's desire to pursue policies th at are more supp orti ve of potentia l economic and
community development p rojects. Counci l made economic deve lopment one of its stated c hi ef
goals in 2006, and has reaffirm ed this goa l every yea r since.
In order to support Council's econom ic development age nda, Community D eve lopment propose d
und ertaking a sma ll area pl annin g process focused on th e Engl ewood D owntown and M edica l
Distric ts . All residents, property owners, and busines s owners were in vited to become p artici pating
stakeholders in a seri es of m ee tings designed to foster discussion of planning goa ls and objectives
for the area. The res ultin g policy document, Englewood Downtown and Medical District Sma ll Area
Plan , was officially adopted in th e spring of 2007.
Soon after adoption of the Englewood Downtown and Medical Dis tr ict Small A rea Plan, Community
Deve lopment staff bega n an ana lysis of th e ex isting zonin g regul ati ons wi thi n th e Medical Distric t
area in order to gage how well th ey co nfo rm ed to th e goals and ob jectives of th e Englewood
Down to wn and Medical District Sma ll Area Plan. Staff concluded that th e exis tin g zoning regulati ons
pertai ning to th e M edi ca l District area were not conducive to the attainment of th e Medical District
visi o n. Staff then began identify ing possible alt ern ative directions to the ex isting Medical District
zoning regulati ons , debated the alternati ves intern all y, and finally arrive d at a prefe rr ed alt arn ati ve •
direction. The prefe rr erl alternative direction was th en deve loped further into more detail ed
regulatory conce pts .
Community D evelopment sta ff bega n to work close ly w ith the Plannin g and Zoning Commission to
tes t and refine th e origin al Medica l Zone and Overl ay District concepts through a series of fiv e
study sessi ons begin ni ng o n April 24, 2008 and endin g o n September 3, 2008. Additional study
sessions we re he ld in response to requ ests by City Counci l, as well as a private property owner to
consider exe mptions to the maximum retail size limit for ce rt ai n sizable pro perties w ith prim e
access to US Highway 285 on November 4 and D ecembe r 2, 2008. Pl anni ng Commissi on ',und
th e arguments for the se pro posa ls to be co mpelling and ag re ed to support both request s. fi nal
study session wa s held on January 21, 2009 in response to a reques t by a private pr?p erty owner to
m odify th e proposed boundaries of th e 145 foot i1 eig ht zon e to include th e wes t side of Emerson
Stree t, as well as expansion of th e ove rla y di stri c t boundary in order to include additi onal properti es
o n th e eas t side of Eme rs on Stree t. In this in stance, Pl anning Commission did not feel th e
argum ents made in sup port of th e proposa l were str ong enough to wa rrant revisions .
Soon after th e September 3, 2008 w rap-up st udy sess ion, Community De ve lopment staff invited
Craig Hospital and Swe dis h IAedical Ce nter executive staff to meet with u ty staff in ord er to hea r a
pres entation on the Medica! Zone and O ve rlay District concepts and giv e fe edback on October 14,
and October 29, res pec tively. Exec utive staffs from both hospitals expre ssed satisfaction w ith th e
p ropos ed regulati ons, ack n owledging that th e new reg ulati ons would give th em more fl exibility to
ex pand their cu rrent faci lities on properties th e hos pital s c urrently own.
At thi s time, Community D evelop ment staff also prepared to take th e proposed Medical Zone and •
Overla y Di strict amendments bac k to th e community stakehold ers for th eir reac ti ons. Once again,

Descrip tion of Preferred Alternative
M-1 : Mixed Use Medical, Office, and High Density Residential Zone District
This zo ne dis trict all ow s hosp it , .nd medica l uses, as we ll as ge neral office, high de nsity
res id ent ia l, and hotels as prim ary la nd uses . Th e di stri ct cove rs the ex ist in g main hospital camp us
areas . In order to pro tec t resi denti al neighborh oods to th e north , it does nol all ow re tail as a
primary use.
M-2: Mixed Use Medical , Office, High Density Res idential, and limited Retail Zone Di strict
This zone district allows hos pitals, and medi ca l uses, as well as general office, high density
residential , hotels , and limited retail as primary land uses. Retail us e; are restricted to no more th an
10,000 square feet , wit h exceptions made fo r st rategic properties located at th e intersections of
Loga n, Clarkson , and Hampden wi th US Highwa y 28S. The district wi ll not allow new auto-orient ed
uses to be established . The district covers the historical O ld Hampden business corri dor as we ll as
th e area directly south of the hospital campuses stretching to, and including the Clarkson and Logan
in tersections wi th US Highway 28S.
M-0-1 : Mixed Use Medical Overlay District
Th is overlay district cove rs a portion of the MU-R-3-B base residential zone distri ct from the
centerline of Girard Avenue to points 130 to 180 feet to the north . Under the M-O-1 Overlay
Dis tri ct regulations, properties must follow the existing MU-R-3-B regulations for land use, density,
and heigh~ but are allowed to follow the more flexible M-1/M-2 setback regul ati ons.
M-0-2: Mixed Use Medical Overlay District
This overlay district covers a portion of th e R-2 -B bas e resid ential zone district, cover ing th e first
residential lot adj, •1?1 to the histori ca l Old Hampden Avenue business corridor. Property owners
may develop thes o, ,1, und er the R-2-B base residential zone district regulati ons or may opt to
co mbin e the propc·,v with adjacent properties with frontage on Hampden Avenue in order to
create a de eper lot 1 ., a larger mi xed use, residen tial, or office development, or as a parking area
for a single use retail development.
Summary
Th e proposed Medical Zone and Overlay District text amendments and the related but separate
ordinance to amend the Offici al Zoning Map represent the achievement of the first implementation
step toward the realization of the Englewood Medical Dis tri ct visio n.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No direct financial cos ts are anticipated from th e adopt ion of the proposed amen dm en s.

M r. Vobo ril stat ed he ha s proo f of pub li ca ti on of th e publi c hea rin g noti ce , which was

Eng lewood: Th e 2003 Engl ewood Comprehe nsi ve Pl an. In support of th at visio n th e
Co mmunity De ve lop ment Sta ff, w itr. th e suppor t of City Council, began to deve lop a small

th e setbacks more flexib le and crea tin g a large r deve lopment enve lope o n a par ticular
property for more flexibility for deve lopme nt pur poses. Also, Staff looked at chan ging th e
way the City regulates th e numb er of reside ntial units on a property . Exis ting zoning
reg ulat es th e number of res ide ntial units by land area per unit . Staff sugges ts swi tchin g to a
system which wo uld reg ul ate the numb er of resid enti al units on a deve lopmen t by the
maximum height restrictions and minimum park ing req uirements. Staff also instituted a
number of d ifferen t heig ht zon es. Some area heights we re kept at th e current leve l in order
to protect th e neighborhoods to the north and the east. In other areas south of th e main
hospita l ca ~us, Staff creat ed a height zone of 145 feet to encoura ge a more in tens ive
resid entia l t f pe deve lopment in an area that would not affect th e si ngl e-fami ly reside ntial
neighborhoods to thP. no rth and east. As for land s.:api ng, Staff has transitioned away from a

CASE #ZON2009-01
Mr. Vobori l pres ented pr oo f of notifi ca tio n of the Publi c Hea ring pub li shed in th?

The Medica l Distri ct area was initiall y iden tifi ed in Roadmap En glewood: The 2003
Engl ewood Compreh ensive Plan as a po tential area of cha nge for the City of En glewood. In
sup po rt of that vision the City of En glew ood Communit y Deve lop men t Depar tm ent b,•ga n

hundr ed peop le r,~ •istered to pa rti cipat e and appro ximat ely 150 peop le att ended the
meetin gs. At th e stak eholders meetin gs Staff gave a prese ntati on on ex istin g iss ues and
conditions found in the Medica l Distri ct area Staff th l'n posed a se ri es of ques tions lo th e
stakeholders co nce rn ing the areas they felt we re areas of stab ility and th ose tha t we re area s
of change. Staff took th at feedback and deve lop ed the vision, goa ls, and obj ec ti ve s th at
we re th en incorporat ed into th e Sma ll Area Pl ann in g Poli cy doc ument wh ich was th en
brought befo re th e Plannin g Co mmi ssion in a Public Hea ring . It was reco mm ended for
approva l to City Council and City Cou ncil appro ve d the doc um en t by Reso luti o n in th e
sp rin g of 2007. Soon aft er tha t Staff began lo work on developing a rewn ing boun dary
area fo r th e medic al distri ct.
Staff had ori gina ll y di vide d the area into six differe nt sub-a reas. Stake hold ers we re as ked to
fo cus on each sub -ar ea, look at the ex istin g co nditio ns and then co mmen t on what ar eas
th ey fe lt we re app roe ria te fo r change .nd whi ch areas they did not wan t lo see significan t
chang e in . Staff then deve loped a se ri es of goals and objecti,es for each sub-area . Staff then
us ed tho se goa ls and obj ec ti ves to crea te the boun daries for the rezo ning ar ea. O nc e tho se
bo undari es we re de ve lop ed Staff held a se ries of Pl annin g Comm ission study sess;')ns
wher e those bounda ries we re discus sed and sli ght mod ifi cati ons were made. On ce the

Med ical Sub -area 3 Goal B states "Encourag e limit ed cha nge to Sw edish owned properties
immediately adjacent to Girard Aven ue". This area is desig nated in blu e o n th e map and as
M-O-1 O ve rlay . Th ese prope rti es ar e owned by Swedish an d Cra ig and th e in te nt was to
a llow limited change in th ese properti es in suppo rt of the mai n hospita l use , but at th e
same tim e to limit th e e ncroachme nt within th e rest of th e Sub-area. The bo und ary was
drawn to inclu de on ly th e fir st 100 to 150 feet of th at Sub-area. Medica l Sub-area 5 Goal B
stat es "Promote Sub-ar ea 5 as an area of chan ge along the O ld Hampd en Ave nu e
corrido r". Mr. Vobor il pointed out th e area on th e disp lay map. The st akeho lders were very
amenable to chang e occ urrin g along th e O ld Hampden Corridor but wa nt ed to pro tec t th e
majority of th e reside nt ia l area to th e so uth. For th e area the y suppor ted , Staff rezon ed the

M-O -2, as an ove rla y dist ri ct that w0u ld serve as a trans iti on zone . Maxim um height in th is
ove rl ay distri ct wo uld be 32 feet creating a ni ce tran si tion between th e busin es s co rrid or

Mr. Vo boril said at thi s time th at is co rr ec t. He stated th e plan , at thi s time, is that a Phase II

Mr. Fi sh said he has li ve d in th e area for 25 yea rs an d wa lk ed th e stree ts man y, many times,
mostly for pleasure . He sta ted he is excited to see these zo nin g changes take place because
he feels th e area ha s stagnated in some areas . This wi ll pro vide the opportunity for

we need to st imu late deve lopmen t in that area .
Mr . Welke r stated it is a goal of his to create new life in that area and some viability. One of
th e reasons the Commission has not been able to deal with the parking issue ye t is that we
do not w3 nt to inhibit de ve lopment there, but stru cture it in such a way th at it ca n be
successful and not destro y th ose thing s that need to be ma intair.erl in th e surr oun din jl area.
