De velopment Retrea~ Community Development created a proposal to conduct a community
planning and visioning process for Downtown Englewood and the Swedish-Craig Medical Center

idea of neighborhood plann in g for a better future, engage the stakeholders in the planning process
through a presentation on the current conditions In the two districts , and ask questions of the •
stakeholders designed to solicit feedback on Issues and desired outcomes pertaining to housing,
bus iness, urban design, transportation , and parks and open space. Stakeholder responses would
then be used to formulate goals and objectives .
Approximately 5,400 letters including an Invitation to register for the stakeholder meetings were
sent out to all residents, property owners, and business owners with personal Interests both within

policy statements that articulate the various key aspects of the vision. The next step in the planning
process is to develop potential strategies designed to achieve the goals and objectives. Funding for
the strategies will come from departmental budgets, federal housing funds , grants , capital

Planning Commis sion find s 1ha1 Amendment No. 6 meels th e five Planned Deve lopment
standa rds :
1. The use is a permilled use wilhin lhe zone dislri cl.
Hospital use is an allowed use within the MU•R•J Dis'.rict
•
•
•
•
•
•
2. That the propose d Amendment No. 6 is co nsist ent wi th th e Co mp re hensive
Plan -Ro.1dmap Englewood 2003 .
Englewood Comprehensive Plan recognizes Swedish Medical Center
is an anchor to the City's economy. It is the largest employer in the City. The Plan also
recognizes that the hospital is in a growth mode and is also a catalyst lo further
redevelopment in the City.
3. Th e pro pose d Amendm ent No. 6 ta kes int o co nsid erati on th e effec ts o n th e
su rro un di ng area .
The proposed expansion is located above the hospital's main
entrance, fully within the hospital campus, all set-backs are ma intained as they have
already been previously approved, the opportunity for public comment is being
presented through this process , and the hospital is aware of public sentiment favoring
upward development of the hospital rather than horizontal expansion into the residential
areas.
4. That th e L?.11d sca pin g requirement is met.
Under Amendment No. 5, in 2001, the landscaping was identified at
27.33%. The minimum requirement is 25 %. Since the expansion is upward other than a
small area for a stairwell, the degree of landscaping that will be removed is minimal .
5. Th at th e off-stree t parking requirement is met.
The City's minimum requirement for the hospital is based on the number
of beds and maximum number of employees on a shift. That number is 637 parking
spaces. The medical center provides 2,458 spaces.
Staff beli eves th at th e overa ll developm ent plan for Amend ment No. 6 is co nsistent w ith th e
intent o f th e Comprehensive Pl an and th e Plann ed Development Standards and th erefo re
see ks approva l.
Ms. Lang on o ff ered to answer any qu estion s th e Co mmi ssio n might have.
Ms. Mo,tell er as ked M s. Langon to clari fy th e height limitati ons in rel ati o n to th e height
exc~ption reg ul ati o n th at was in pl ace before. M s. Langon stated the current heig ht of th e
bu ilding wi th th e surgica l unit is 53 .5 feet. Th e Ordinance under whi ch thi s PD was
ap prove d was a ma ximum height of 60 fe et; however, th ere was an excep ti on th at allowed
for every foo t of add it iona l side se t-back provided beyond th e requirement , the building
co uld go up an additional foot. Th e buildin g is 53 fe et; th ey wa nt to go to 93 feet, a
difference of 40 fe et. O n each side se tback they have to me et th e initial 15 feet side set-
back pi~~ 40 fee t per sid e. Th at equals 65 fee t from th e side of the buildi ng to the side
property lines . Side proµerty line s are Cl ark son on the East and an adjoining property to the
West. The City considers the full campus as the property . They are providing from the
building in question more than 300 fe et o n o ne side and more than 600 fe et on the other.
Mr. Welke r asked if th e in cre,1se pertains to only this o ne building and not to oth er
bui ldings 0 11 th e ca mpus . M s. L.111go11 stat ed th at was correct. Amendment No. 6 is for ju st •
th e one building.

Mauree n White oi 327 1 S Grant Str ee t was sworn in. Sh e sa id she didn 't think th e wording
of the go als was very stro ng. She feels a lot of th em are grea t ideas, but don't say exact ly
how th ey are go ing to be accomplished. She stat ed her grea tes t co nce rn s ,ire with th e
attention that was paid to rental single-family ho mes and att empt s to eliminat e th ose as if
th ose were th e only big iss ues. She does 11 01 beli eve they are. Sh e beli eves if th e City is
go in g to crei'!e more apar tm ent buildings th e City should req uire th ey have o n-si te
m u1 ageme 11t. She sai d she woul d like to see the word "appropria te" changed to
"adequate " in rega rds to parking req uiremen ts. She said it would be ni ce to have a movie
theatre and clothing stores in th e Cit y. She stat ed she li ves in Englewood and is a te ac her at

Th ere was no one .
Mr. Welker aske d Staff is thev would like to co mm ent on Ms. White 's tes tim ony. Mr.
Voboril co mmented on th e goa ls not being that strong. Th e public did want to have more
prec ise answe rs as to w hat could be done in their neighborhoods . Th e way th e planning
process works is if you ge t down into th e details ri ght away you can get very bogged down
an d not get anywhere w ith that typ e of approach. First you need to take a very big view of
th e area and try to ge t pe"lp le to think in th e bigge r picture . Th e Goals and Objecti ves are
not as precise as man y of yo u would like, but th ey give a good guid eline of w here we go
from here. Thi s is a continual process that will go on fo r five to ten yea rs. Th e nex t step is to
tak e th e time to de ve lop more specific strategi es. He stated th ere will be a me et in g with the
stakeh old ers thi s yea r to beg in to slowly ge t more and more defi ned as we go.
Mr. Welker stat ed part of th e pro cess is defined by w hat City Council authorizes to happen.
Th ey have asked Staff to put it ou t o n th e tabl e as a small area plan. It is not th e la st step, it
is just th e beginning.
Mr. Brick sa id he Ii ed the sugges tion to change the word "a ppropriate" to "a dequ ate" in
