Eng le wood can claim fo w buildin gs desig ned by architects with impon a nt nati onal repu tations. but , Ms. Wra y said. in 195 4. a yo un g arc hi1 ec t named William Much ow was co mmi ssi oned 10 de sign the Firn Nati onal Ba nk of Eng lewood at 33 11 South Broadwa y. l-l is firm was just fo ur years old , but he wa s already be ginn ing to make hi s mark in th e area . She stated 1he buildin g was a remarkabl e exa mpl e of interna 1io nal style. a strikingl y mode rn building of glass. steel and slune that set the to ne for th e Cit y's future . In 1962. hi s wo rk in the re gi on drew another banking establi shment , First Federa l Savin gs, to commi ss ion a ne w bank building a1 J8 1h and Lowd! in Denver. That same year. Fi rst Federa l Savings merged wit h the Fi rs: Fed eral Sa vings and Loan of Englewood at 3496 So uth Broadway. Ms. Wr ay said First Federal S···::1gs was a distingui shed in stitution founded in 1885 and according to their broc hure s, the assoc inti on se rved thro ugh 189 3. 1907 and the Grea t Depress ion of the 1930's, ne ve r failing to meet a withdraw :i \ reque st, never los ing a penny of sa vings . To accommodate 1he growing organization. M ..... how was co mmi ssio ned to design a se..:ond bui ld ing in Englewood at 4301 South Broadway. The new bank was si ted approxi mate ly at the end of the Cherrelyn Horse Car Linc, where the ca r turned and the horse, rode behind. on the trip dow n hill . De spite the hi storic loc ati on, the bank bill ed itself as "a mode rn Savings and Loan facili ty". The tex t of the Grand Openi ng brochure renec 1ed lhc spirit of the tim es, "It is with great pleasure that we dedicate fo r your use anothe r First Federal Savings office . This beautiful new building by W. C. Mu chow, Architect, was designed 10 serve Eng le wood, Little to n and so uth Denver areas . The entire project is set on a land sc aped plaza and will be an outstanding ::.ddition 10 the famo us Cherre lyn busine ss area . Through 78 exciting years, the Assoc iatio n, now over fifty mill io n strong, is plannin g olh cr adv ances for 1962 . T. c: installation of the Univac Darn Process ing Sy s1em will further improve the services of th e Associ:u ion." So thi s show s we arc at a c u~p whe n we are going int o a brand new period in o ur loc al hi story . Thu s the conve rgence of the Go ld en Age of Englewood pro speri ty, saw the constructi on of two di stingui shed bank bui ld ings by the man who wou ld become one of the most respected and honored architects of the post-wa r period in the Roc ky Mountain Regi on. Born in Den ver, Muchow studied at Notre Dame. the Universit y of Illin ois and perhaps most notabl y. und er Eli e) Snnrinen at the Cranbrook Academ y. Ms. Wray stated since the AIA was here 10 honor o ur ow n Director Simpson tonight. I will also menti on that Muchow was a promine nt figur e in the AJA se rvi ng as a member of the AIA Jury of Fellows, Chairman of their Natic111al Award s Commiuce, Chance ll or of the Co ll ege of Fell ows and Director of th eir Westci n Mouniain Regional office . In the 1hree decade s betwee n 1950 and 1980 , hi s work was al so hon ort ' by more AlA award s than can be mention ed here . Again. she said, from the opening brochure . the bui lcr .1 g 1s de sc ribed. "t he design of the building is unique in that the roo f stru cture is ca rrie1 on four colu mns whi ch ri se up 1hrough the lobby, exte nding verticall y through the roo f pl ane and termina1ing at skylight pyram id s nood irg the lobby with natural da ylig ht". Exlensivc use of brick, bot h interior and exteri or. along with th e d :s ign of rich walnut and acce nt co lorin g, cre ate s a pl eas ant environment. This kind of enginee rin g wor ks, spec ifi call y, in combi nin g the struc1ural plan of th e building with 1he appearance of it. la1 cr pla ye d o ut most fam ously in the rccc mly demolished Currigan Hall . al so by Will ia m Mu chow, whi ch was internati onally recognized for its advances and sp ace fram e con structi on. But in additi on to be ing so ve ry ad va nced in th eir o wn ope rati on s and th ro ugh their arc hitect. the bank also proud ly featu red a coll ecti on o f photographs taken aro und 1885 by Jose ph Co llier and hi s son, 1l obert, one of the founders of the Associat io n who were pioneer Co lorad o ph otographer s. A uniqu e fea tu re of the bui ldin g was a co mmunit y roo m, whic h was availab le for 1hc use of cl ub s, orga ni zatio ns, ci vi c and educati o nal group s Pirst r'ede ral made no charge fo r the use of thi s co mmunity roo m. With !he redevelopment of the former Ci nderella City si te rea ching co mpleti on. it is na tura l that the City uf Engle wood has begun to examine ways 10 re vi tali ze 1he South Broadwa y Corrid or in Engl ewood. But redevelopment within n den se ly developed corridor is not as ea sy as the clearing and co ns1ructi on at the Cindere lla City site, as the foiled Trolley Square projec t demonstrat es . That project cle ar-c ut a key bl oc k, lea ving a visual gap and an an yw here subu rbia fe eling th111 ove rwh el ms our se nse of En gle wood as th e hi storic small town that it is.

She said it is the repea l in thei r entirety or Tit le 10 : La nd Subdi vision and Title ttj: Zo ning Reg ulations or the Englewood Mun ic ip al Code and the adopt ion or the Unifi ed De vel opment Cod e, the UDC, in the ir place . As reco mmend ed by staff, we req uest th at Cound l appro ve th e draft or the UDC with the att ac hed "R equested Amendment s" and set <l Pub lic Hearing for the UOC for January 5, 2004 . Those reque sted amendments arc ,mac hed in yo ur pac ket and they deal wi th fo ur key areas th at were di sc ussed at pre vious Study Se ss ions. First is an amend ment to l 6-2-7:8 3a . th at wa s the Transit St ati on Di stri ct thre shold red uci ng th at 10 1/4 mile radius or a tra nsit station along with a Englewood City Coundl December IS , 2003 Pt•gc '10 ¼ rmlc ex tension for comi~uous additions, The seco nd amendmcm was 10 !able 16-6-1.2 for ga ra ge co nversions; that existing drivewa ys would not have 10 be rcmo\'cd but wo uh..l be ab le 10 remain as parking pad s. The ncx 1 amendment was 16-6-10~5 ; that parking p:1ds in front sctb at'ks wou ld be pcrmill cd and they wo ul d be subj ec t to th '! fr ont lot coverage requirement s and would nu1 be able 10 ex ceed 20 fe el in widt h. The la st amendments were to the definiti ons, clarifi c:uio n on the definiti on of driveway and three ne w definiti ons. Those were for nna ched garage. de1 ac hcd garage and habitab le space . To give you so me background informati on. 1he fir st zo ning ordinance in the Cit y w:1s csrnbli shcd in 1940 . Rew rites 10 that ordinance occurred in 1he 1950's and 1960's. The la st maj or rewrite ocrurred in 19 85 . Ove r that time pe ri od numerous amendments have been ad :ed lo the ordinance and inco nsistencies and ou tdated refe rences have made the ordinance diffic ult to use and admini ster . Counc il direc ted staff to co-ord in ate the subdi vis ion and th e zoning regulations in to a single documcm and minimize Title 16, the zoning regula ~lo ns, inronsiste11cie s, and al so to !-lanJa.rd ize deve lop ment procedu res and provide flexible development opponunitics for devel opers and citizens, and also 10 provide dear standards . Along wit h 1hosc requ ests , there arc reque sts fr om citizens fo r de sign standard s for re si dential development 10 maint ai n ncighbcrhood quality or lire . To lhat end, an emergency moratur ium suspend ing building permits for new single .fa mily attached <1nd mu lti .family residential dwellings, in nonhwe sl Englewood. wns establ ished to allow staff the opponunity to de vcl J p design sta nd ards for nll residential zone di stri cts and the y could be coo rdinat ed \\,lh the UDC. That moratorium is sc hed uled 10 expire on February 27. 2004. Senior Planner Langon slat ed the UDC is a co mprehen sive revi siL,l of the land subdivision and the zon ing regula1ion ~ nd it reorganizes and updates th ose two ord inances and regu latio ns into a si ngle coo rdinnt ed doc ument. I he goa ls of the UDC are to main1 nin the esse ntia l chara cte r of the di str ict s, to update th e Code, to simplify adminisirntion and procedure s and to establish fl ex ib le developm ent opponuni1ie s ba sed on cl ear standard s. Phase I of the project started in 2000, although , it actually Sldrtcd many year s before th11. but, finally in 2000 we reall y got going on it. That began with the hirin g of Clarion Assoc iate s, a land finn that cond ucted interviews and did a Code analysis, and recom mended a re fo rm atted Code. They produc ed an outline of proposed changes and a draft There were internal reviews, staff re writes, scconc! Jrafts. lhird • draft s, Planning and Zoning Commission meetings for weeks on end. design standard ope n house, meetings wi th ACE, the Chamber, Code Enforcement Advisory Co mmittee, discus sions with th.>se groups. more re writes and finally, this year, anothe r Planning v d Zoning Co mm ission draft. The Commi ssion considered that draft at a Public Hearing on Septe111bcr 16. 2003 at whic h only one citizen spoke. That citizen spo ke concerning the auto use mora torium . The Commissi on reco mm ended approva l of the UDC by a vote of 7 to 0, Cily Co unci l has reviewed th e UDC , as approved by th e Planr· :ig and Zo ning Commission, at three se parate Study Sessions and requested the allachcd amendm cl'ts Thi s ha s ac1ual\y bee n. as I said, thre e years, but probably m()re like six or seven yea rs of work in th e making. Under the UDC there is no land that is to be rezo ned. There !lre no sub stantive change s 10 the land sca ping, to the parking, the signs, hi sto ri c pre scr va1ion . nood plain, tele co mmunicati on or non-confo rmin g use sec ti ons of the ordin ance. The reform atted dcrnmcnt preclude s a line -by•line compari son . Therefore . an ove rvi ew ha s been attached to yo ur packet. Therr.: are four main types of chan ges in the ordinance . There arc techni ca l cha nge s, tho se are to the fo rmat. the re arc now-c harts :rnd tab les that were ne ve r included in ihe previous ordinance. There is new material and that wo uld be material that is not in the current Code . Those arc some new definitions. s1andards fo r storm water drainage and erosio n control ... th ings of that nature . There arc minor update s, for clari1y and. 10 rndify pw,.ed ures th at were 110 1 in the Code pre viously. such as; when a subdivi sion plat beco me s effcctive ... that was 11ever elem ly s1.1 1cd in the previous ordi nan ce Then the la st type of chan ges are sub stanti ve cO anges and those arc probab ly a few ke y areas . The y are eslabli shm ent of the new Residential De sign Standards cst .!bl is hm cnl of a Limited Re view Per mit. c!-tab\1shmcnt of a Temporary Use Permil. establi shment of Adm ini strati ve Adju stment s, and es tab li shment nf th e Transi t Stati on Area Zone Dis trict. Again, n<; land is be ing rc w ncd, onl y creation of th e di stri ct. There urc also so me policy changes to land sub<li • 1sio n procedure s and to tt'i'.! v.1 riancc crit eria . Also, th e oth er major chan ge is the deletion or remov al ufthc unused R-2-C/S PS Re sidence Zo ne Di strict. In the years it was on 1he books . it was never l 11 ili zed . The planned pub lic ou treach wi ll have the UDC avail able or. the Web. it wil l be ava ilable in the Library . avai lab le from 1hc City Cicrk on CD and then we plan additi onal public outreach through the Citizen and Channel 8, and notices :11 the Building co unter .
