Counctl la requested to Introduce an Ordinance for the rez.ontng of a portion of the A area bounded by Eastman Avenue, South Acoma Street,. F1oyd Avenue, and South
-Lincoln Avenue fro m B-1 , fJuslne. to B-2, Business, and to set January 20, 1992 as

PREVIOUS COUNCD, AC'l10N
There has been no previous Council action on this matter.
STAFF ANALYSIS
TIils rezoning request came b efore the Planntng Commlsslon at the request of the
Department of Community Development whlch had received mqulre regarding
zoning and land use In the 3200 block of South Broadway. After further discussions
at the staff level, a request for a Publlc Hearing for rezoning was presented to the
Planning CommJsslon. The Planning Commlsslon scheduled the Public Hearing for
. ovember 19, 1991.
Prior to the Public Hearlr.g, staff Invit ed all businesses and property owners In the
affected area to an lnfomiational meeting to dlscuss the pro posed re zoning and Its
Im pact. Staff also presented the proposed r ezoning to the EDDA and the Chamber
Gove rnmental Affairs Committee. As a r esult of these meetings, the boundaries of
the proposed r ezoning were modifi ed. The new boundary ls described as follows :
BeglDn1ng at the Centerlines of South Broadway and Eastman Avenue :
then west along the centerline of West Eastman Avenue to the
ccnterllne of South Acoma Street; then south along the centerline
of South Acoma Street a d!~tance of 452 .43 feet, more or less:
then east to the centerline of South Broadway; then south along
the centerline of South Broa dway to the centerline of Floyd
Avenue : the east along the centerline of East Floyd Avenue to the
centerline of the South Broadway • South Lincoln Street Alley;
then north along the centerline of the South Broadway• South
:.. 'ncoln Street Alley to the centerline of East Eastman Avenu e :
then west along the centerline of East Eastman Avenue to the
centerline of South Broadway.
nus revised area provides the needed v rotectton for the adja cent resldtmtial &Teas
while enhancing the business zone In tlrn 3200 block of Soutl, Bro adway.
BACKGROUND
The area proposed for rezoning has been z .. ned f11 r commerL,;l or business use sin.cc
the early 1950's. The propos~d c hange from B-1 to 8 -2 does uot represent a
slgllfflcant change In. zoning f..,, t.he area. The 8-2 zone district allows all the uses of
the B-1 as well as 14 addltio;,•11 uses. The major difference IS In the conditional uacaa
allowed In the 8-2. w,
These conditional uses are: adult entertainment and/or service faclllty, automobile
service stations, Motor vehicle repair, motor vehicle laundry or polishing, and
amusement establishments. Of these, amusement establishments ts the only
conditional use pennJtted In the 8-1. The auto-related conditional uses generated
the most debate In terms of Its appropriateness near the ce ntral business dlstrlct.
This debate was tempered by the fact that the Planning Commission does have more
control over condltlonal uses than p emu,ted uses .
FINANCIAL
Approval of the proposed rezoning will not ·tlnanctally Impact the City In a negative
manner. There ts some potential that the rezoning may spur development or
redevelopment of some of the parcels In the area to b e rezoned . If property that ts
c urrently vacant ls thus d evelop ed . additional r evenue co uld b e ge n erated for the
City.

The lmpetua f or the proposed z.ono change came after staff diacuaaio n ■ on the
nature, conditio n, and extent o f the downtown area and various land u ■a and
zoning inqulriea fr om p r o perty owr-oro in t he area . To determine the approprl-
atenaaa of the proposed zo ne change there are several i aauea that must be a d-
dreaaed . These issues are:
What defines t h e downtov , or Central Bualneaa Di11trict?
Have there been cru, ,qel! ln the :,&l ura CL' character of the downtown and
adjacent B-2 areft that aubata ntiato the proposed rona r-h1.1 nga1
!! thi• re:,:,. la? !,. n prov-ad, wh t impact ■ will it have o n t he downtown
area and adjar• ,.: t 1t .:i dential area?
Theaa iaauea can her.it he addres sed by first reviewing the six finding• me n-
tioned above.
1. That the proposed rezoning promotes the health, safet y, or welfare of the
i nhabita nt ■ of the City of Englewood and the purpose -,f thia Ordinance.
The change from 8-1 to 8-2 does not change the general nature of the area , -
that ia commercial. The B-1 zone District specif i cally permits ninety -four
u ■as as wall aa one Conditional Use. These uaaa for the moat part are intend-
ed to promote an u :-ban cha racter through the ir mixed use n ature . The B-2 Zone
Diatrict , while allowing 11 uses al lowed in t he B-1 Zone , also permi t ■ four-
teen additional uses aa well as five Co nditional Uses. These additiona l uae ■
are more oriented toward s vehicular traffic than pedestrian traffic aa in the
B-1 Distr let .
Clearly, the proposed rezo n i ng will not generate the t ype of change in use
that might occur i f the proposed rez.oning were to ind u strial or s i ngle-fami ly
res identi al .
2. Th at the pro posed rezoning i '" .:onsiste nt. with the Com pL·ehensive Plan:
The ComprchensLve Plan i dentif ies this area as the Central Business District.
The Com prehensive Pla n states:
Generally, it (the downtown a rea/ is b ounded on the no rth by Floyd ~venue
and by Eastman Avenue. To the no rth of these street s, there well es-
t abli shed residential areas ;.Jh i c h shou ld be protected fr om comm ercial en-
croachment. White some a ccess must be provLded from Dartmou t h Ave nue to
the downto\.J n , F loyd Avenue and Eastman Avenue should be stre ngthened as
b arr iers to any f ur-ther expansio n o f the business z.o ni.ng to the north.
These t\.JO streets should be a permanent buffe1: between down t ow n ac t i vi t y
and the res ident.Lal environment.

lta abov o po int• are al so re iterated in the "Policies for En glewood Downtown
L.twlt lop•ent " aection o f the Comp reheneive Plan ado pted by the Planning Corrvnia-
1ion i n 1981. Clea r l y, thie area haa been viewed iU a part of tho downtown
a··.._,-'·
J . That ther a haa b een a material c hange i n the c haracter o f the neighborhood
or in the City Cj1&nerally, such that the pro posed re1o n ing would be in the
p ub lic intare ■t and consistent wi th the change.
There h as not been any aubata ntial chang1:1 in the cha-:a ctar or mix of u ■e• in
thia area over the l aat ten years, Historical ly, the auto related nonconform-
inq uaea have changed own ersh i p much more frequently than t he permitted u ■e ■
!n t he a r ea . Thia ar&a ha ■ exhibited more ■tabi l ity relative to the downtow n
.,. a whole . Saeed on the Comprehen ■iva Plan, if changeo in thi11 area take
pl11 1,:.e , they should be to uae ■ that are more downtown oriented than lea ■ down-
tow" oriented .
4 . That the property to be rezo ned wa s previously zoned in error .
Th 1, h-1 zoning ot thi1 area haa bean in pl a .;,e since 1963, and was baaed o n
similar zoning in place for many y ears prior . Therefore, there l a no evidence
t h at the zoning was placed on this area in e rror.
s. That the property c annot t--e developed under the exist i ng zoning .
Thia ia perhaps the mo at problematical findi ng to make. It ia important that
the Pl11nn ing Commia ■ion differe nt i ate between tho inability o f a property or
area to be developed or redev e loped because of condit i ons i mposed by zoning o r
the zon ing itoelf, and the ina bilit y o f a p roperty or area t o develop becauae
o f market o r real estate condit ions . If the latter b ecom es ct legitimate r ea-
son to rezone prope rty , zoning tecome a simply ~ne ther marketing t oo l for real
estate devel opment and spec ul at ion rathe r than a proces s by which long t8rm
development can be guided and controlled.
6. Su ch other cond1tion a as are expressly permitted by law .
Cu rrently , there are no o cher conditions expressly authorized by Ordi na n ce
upon which a rezoning may be grantE.d.
The downtown area has, f or many years, been defined as beginning at East.man
Avenue. This i s reflected 1n bo th the City's comprehen"Jive planning and
zoning efforts. In fact, i t u reasnnable to assume that these ef f o r t s were
based more on the desire to preserve the existing n at u re and charact er of the
area rather han force a c ha nge to downtown type area throug h zo ning and land
use planning. This 10 further supper ed by the Dc"':-:tc· ... n Redevelop:re n t efiorta
which, whi le f ocusing fnmar1ly on the )JOO and 34C0 blocks of the downtown,

South Broadway, i.t La more des irable that, over t im e, the development or re -
development o! the 3200 Bl ock o f South Bro adway and adjacent areaa be a c o n -
t i nuation of the dow n town and not the strip convnercilll that cha racterizes
South Broadway farthe r north.
In terms o f changes in tho nature or character of thi.a area, it La clear that
there hava been l i. t t le Lf any c:~ :t n"!e. Beyond the publ!.c lmprovem&nt a of
atreatacapi.ng carried out t hrough ne d .:,wntow n redevolopm ent effort ■, little
or no change as a result of private development activity haa taken i;,Lt.ce, un-
1 Lke the reat of t he downtown a rea.
The salient question to then ask is: .. ts the lack of new devol opment or re-
development o f thia area somehow a result of the z.oning?" The an&wAr i:o th ia
queation La a qualifl-:d "No". Qualif ied in the sense th-'\t in thi• area there
ara many other factors boeidea z oni ng that influence the decision of ft p roper-
ty owner to develop C'l r ..-e develop a i:,roperty. The question then bec °'1,J -:t1 "To
what degree Coea z.on i ng affect the potential for redevelopr:1ent?" Th .. answer
to this question, while difficult to answer, must be framed in t u rma c.•~ indi-
vidual propert ies rather than the area aa a whole. Howe·.iar, it a ~ould be
clear from the findings above that the change from B-1 to B-2 will n ot ■ub
stantially encourage or discourage deve lopment or redevelopment.
