I'd like to begin as I di d a coup le weeks ago thanki ng yo u guys, the Planning and Zoning Commissi on , for the work yo u do to protect th e co mmun ity and continu ing to reg ulat e zoning to prese rve this community. My wife and I have been proud reside nts of Englewood for 4 ½ ye ars . We bought our ve ry fi rst home here in Englewood. When we we re consid ering where to buy a home a number of im portant is sues came up for us. Pri ce was obvio usly an important factor, but there were other equa ll y import ant fac tors th at we considered in cluding th e look and fee l of th e neighbo rh ood, the perceived safety of the neighborhood and our potential fo r happiness in that neighbo rh ocd. We rul ed out homes that w~re in neighborhoods of R-2 and hi gher density despite th e lowe r cost of th ese home s. Multi-unit dwell in gs ;.nd apa rt ment co mpl exes int er mi xe d wi th sin gle fa mily homes change th e whole look and feel of th e neighborhood. The avai lability of less per manent more tr ans ient populatio n, peop le don't always get a chance tn know th eir neig hb ors and w ith higher density hous ing th ere is mo re foot tr affic, aut omot :1., traffi c an d other traffic th ro ughout th e da y and night. We spent a grea t dea l of tim e, ITT\ ,vife and I, eva lu at in g th ese thin gs as we looked for hous es. Once we found a neig hbo rh ood we th o ugh t we would like w ith homes in ou r price range we woul d wa lk th ro ugh th e neighbo rhood at different times of th e day and ni gh t to see who was out and how we we re gree ted by th e reside nts. Fortuna tely, through this process we found a home tha t we live in now on Pearl Stree t. All of thi s wo rk we did 4 '/, years ago is not in vain. I like to say that when we moved into Engl ewood we moved into a Norm Jn Roc kwe ll painting. Our block has deve lo ped a strong sense of co mmun ity; we regu larl y sha re mea ls together, play in the park toge th er and look out for one another. To a large ex tent this se nse of co mmunity has bee n fos tered by the ex istence and enfo rce men t of zon in g regu latio ns in our neighborhood, zoned R-1. Allow me a minute to talk about zo nin g. As you guys kno w, zoning has a ve ry im po rtant purp ose in the City. According to Tit le 16 of the Eng lewood Mu ni cir.ia l Code Chap ter 3 Sec ti o n 2 I quote "One of the goals of th e City is to enco ura ge a varie ty of ho usi ng types to mee t th e needs of diffe ren t incom e leve ls and vary in g fa mily struc tur es. The regu lati ons for th ese dis tri cts are des i gned to stab il ize and protec t the esse nti al charac teris tics of th e districts and to promote a compa ti ble neighb orh ood envirc nment". Chapter 3 Sec ti o n 2 goes on to speak specificaliy to R-1 zo nin g. An R-1 zone is zo ned to b e I quote "Si ngle dwelling unit resid en ti al dis tr icts. Multi- unit dwe lli ngs are not all owed in th ese distri cts". Th e spirit and intent of zoni ng laws and reg ul ations are clearl y laid ou t in th ese sectio ns o f th e foglewood U nifi ed Deve lopment Code. Zoning is I quote "Designed to stabiliz e and protec t the esse~tial cha ra cteri sti cs and to provide a co mpa tib le neighbo rh ood and environment." The esse ntial char acteristics of our neighb orhood, zoned R-1-C, are being un de rm ined and vio lated by thi s id e?. of a boardi ng ho use which has in vade d o ur com mun ity. As I mention ed ea rl ier, my wife and I we re very intenti ona l abo ut w here we bo ught our fir st ho me 4 1/, years ago. Lik e I said, w~ spe nt months of research in thes e neighborhoods and were very deliberat e ?.bo ut buyi ng in ar ea s zoned R-1. Th ~ iggest and mo st importan t reaso n is th at a nei ghbo rh ood zoned R-1 is ma inly for fa mili f•s, a sense of pe rm anence and a true co mmunity.
