COUNCIL MEMBER GARRETT MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED , TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING . Ayes : Counc ;I Members Nabholz. Garren. Brad sh.1w . Wolosyn Yurchick. Grazuli s. Bums Na ys: None The moli on ca rried and 1hc Public Hearing opened . All persons giving testimony were dul y swo rn . Planning Analyst [ianncmillcr presented Proo f of Publicati on of 1hc Notice of Public Hearing . which appeared in the Engle wood Herald on April 7, 2000 . She advised that staff is rec ommend ing amendments to the Englewood Mun ici pal Cude . whic h will provide iln opportuni ty for unique and crutivc signagc al ong Broad way in the 8 -1 and 8 -2 Business Zones . Input for the proposed amendment has been gathered from other City departrr!nts, from the So uth Broadway Merchants' Committee. the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce. Englewood Downtown Development Authority and the Englewood Planning and Zoning Comm issi on, she said . Th is nmcndment will create a process where busines ses. with input from a special re vi ew 1eam. will propose new signage . characterizing specific criteria in order to gain area , height . loca1ion or size bonuses for unique busine ss sig nagc. she advised . Specific cri teria guiding the signage will be provi ded from u policy crca1ed by the City Manage r in order to guide the review process . The criteria :ire lis1ed in 1he Council Communic a1ion. she added , and were di scussed wi lh Council al previous meetings . S1aff belie ves the proposed Jlmendmcnt will allow for the strengthening or the co mmercial signage along 1he corridor, as well as provi de an en fo rcc.i.ble ord inance for staff 10 implemen1 in cooperation with the business community, she said. Rather than going through , :1 the specifics or the changes. which arc quite length y. she sa id she wo uld like 10 spea k about three specific areas that co uld ch:mge with this ordinance . Th is would inc lude area . height and loca tio n change s fr om the current code . With appro va l from this comminee. a new sign cou ld gain an area bonus , mean ing the y would ha ve more signage area in order to loca te 1hcse creative signs, she said, but s1ill wi 1hin the signable area . There still is no change to where you can pUI a sig n. but additional area bonuses could be received . For eumplc, she sa.id , if yo u now have one hundred square feet of signablc area. if you ha ve a creative sign proposed. yo u could go to as much as one hundred twcn ty•fi \'e to one hundred fifty square fee t of signagc area . You :iil so could ga in heig ht bonuses. meani ng that. if you now h:iive :ii po le 1ha1 is all owed 10 go 10 twent y feet . it co uld now go 10 twenty-fi ve feet with approval from !his co mmittee. she: :ii dviscd . There arc also locati on bo nuses. We have added the possibility or adding roof si gns up to live feet above the parapet. We arc also recommending allowing mural s ;1nd wi ndow signs within o. seco nd fl oor or a business. where the business is different from the primary busi ness on 1he first floo r, she said . Also. ani mated signs. whic h we hope will lend to the creative aspects of some of :he bus inesses alo ng Broa dwa y. She snid one 1hing she would like 10 submit is that , subsequent to the publi shing of the ordinance . we were conlactcd by the Publ ic Work s Department regarding 1hc prop,Jscd ame ndment to the Sign Cod e. lni1iall y, we tried 10 include thin gs in the amcndmenl 1ha1 were rc late t.1 t J 1he crc:1.1ivc side of 1he code, bu1. as we progressed. we reali zed it would be more effici ent 10 clean up 1hc code as it was, if there were any ot he r chan ges. We we re co nt ac ted by Public Work s. who pomted ou t 10 us tha1 tilcrc wa s a co nfli ct be tween :ii Ci 1y polic y ha vi ng to do wi1h street banners. and the actual code. Ms . Dannemillcr submiued a proposed amcndmen1 to § 16-4-19-6(B). ch'lngin g the seco nd sen tence. whic h starts "S ui;h strec1 banners shall Ix insta lled. removed. and ma intained ..... clim1na1ing 1he rema inde r or thal se nte nce. she said. and insc nin g "p urs uan t 10 City Policy ." Th is brings the po li cy int o agreement with 1he cod e. she adv ised . Council Member Yurch1ck ask ed if 1here had been any commen 1s on how the size of the sign is determined . If yo u jump fro m the firs11icr. 1f yo u had a hund red feet . yo u can ha\·e a two hundred sq uare foot sign, he said . Ir yo u ha ve one hundred and one feel. yo u ca n only ha ve a hund red and twenty-six foo t square sign . Ms. Dannemillcr said the philoso ph y is the s.1 me in the creat ive code as 11 1s in the pn ur i.:odc. the more area • • • Englewood Ci1y Council M•y I. 2000 Page 5 you have. the less sig nage area. II is also proportion.11.le to the amount of frontage that you have, she uid. As you gel more frontage . you get additional square footage with that. The way it was initially inlerl)rcled. was that the firsl one hundred feel would be one hundred and fifty square feet of signagc, so from one hundred and one to two hundred and fifty is an additional one foot of square footage for that second amount of frontage . CC'uncil Member Yurchick said so th111 is additional . Ms . Danncmiller said thar is right. Bill Clayton. 958 East Cornell Avenue. advised that he is co-chairman of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, and was speaking on behalf of the Chamber, in suppon of these cha nges to the Sign Code . He noted that we would not be speaking to 1he basic sign code. but it wo uld be an attempt to add .111 overlay di strict He said we could probably debn1e whether the Sign Code itself is a good idea or not. However. he said, a good sign is not jus1 utilitarian or informalional, but attracts your anention and invites you. evokes memories. entices you. informs you :md gives you a reason to slop at 11 business . He said, as he was driving down here tonight. he drove by the Gothic Theatre, and noticed all the new chrome, and the way the marquee has been redone. He said he could remember when he was a child at the Gothic, and he felt good sig ns do that sort of thing . He said he also drove by the new Hollywood Video sign. which he feels is one of 1he mosl exciting signs in the Denver metro area. He said he can oot help but wish we bad more exciting signs like that in Englewood. and fewer signs that arc just the business name painted on board. hidden behind a trc:e. Personally, havi ng been a businessperson for about thirty years, and owned business with signs. he sai d he felt this was one of the most exciting ordinances that has come before Council in a long time . He personally urged Counci l·s support, and he felt the Chamber of Commerce and the businesse s in Englewood would also urge their support . It gives more opportunities fat creative, innovative and aurac 1h ·e signs. We can find lot.s of things we would like to cha11ge . he allowed, but lhe bottom line is that ii gives more opportunities for businesses to be creative. Mr . Clayton said. if yo u tum loose the creative minds of designers an,:! sign companies and individual businesses. you \\'OUld just haven wonderful ple1hora of new signs. He urged CoWlCil, once they sec how successfu l this is. to revisit it and extend it to lhe other business areas in Englewood. This is only along Soulh Broadway , he said, and docs not do anything for Hampden. and there are a lot of businesses west of Broadway on Hampden. he said. It docs nol do anything for the businesses over at Federal and Belleview, they are in Englewood, too. He repeated 1ha1 he would like to sec Council pass thi s. Ma yo r Burns asked if anyone else would like 10 spc:ik to thi s issue . No one came forward. COUNCIL MEMBER GARRETT MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED , TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Also . th:11 snmc C\'cning. the vested rights time frames were considered for Trammell Crow Residential. Those vested righls and the site plan were appro ved by lhe Englewood EnvironmenlDI Foundolion , as well os by Trammell Crow Reaiden1lal, he said. §24•68 of Colorado Revised Statutes provides for vesting of ccnain development approvals 111 certain po ints in the development process . What we arc saying here . he said. is that vesting 1s simply providing assurance of stability and that ongoing conditions that arc approved at this time will continue for a designated period of time for the developer. It provides stability that is the bottom line . Within this vested rights resolution. we have a three year vesting provision, he advised. that is provided by State Statutes . Ves1ing is not somelhing lhe Ciiy of Englewood has 1ypically done , allhough ii is nol an :inusual process. It is very common with development projects: of this kind of magnitude . Since we a.re talking a fifty million dolla.r project . it would be expected to have a requcs1 for on-going assurances of development approvals. There are no changes from April 3"'. this simply is I procedure that is in accordance with State Suuutes, he said. and this fonnalizes what you have already approved on April 3n1, Mr. Simpson said the Englewood Environmental Foundation urges Cc,uncil's approval of this vesting right. City Anomey Brotzman Jid thi s is an unusual circumstance and we a.re still working the kink.I out . This is a new State Statute. he said . The ordinance is actually on first rending this evening under the Consent Agenda, he advised . Mayor Bums said the statute states that a vested poperty right is established with respect to propeny upon approval or conditional approval of a site-specific development plan foll owi ng public hearing and notice by the local government. He asked if the si te plan has been approved . City Attorney Brotzman responded affinnativcly . Mr. Simpson said it was approved on April 3"'.

It shows that we arc cooperating with the business community. she said. This could have been a condemnation, but it was a cooperative solution, and she thought that was grut. Mr. Simpson agreed that :1 was a positive process . Staffha.s been trying to acquire right-of•way for the extension and straightening of Englewood Parkway between Elati and Cherokee, he said. This exltmsion is a new road that will accommodate traffic into the new CityCenlcr project. Currently. along Englewood Parkway, it is kind of a series of curves thnt really do not fociliuuc trartic. There will be a large amount of traffic from busses, because this will be a ponion of :i bus rou1c into the project. until it turns on Elati and goes up 10 Floyd. The way it is currently configured. it simply would not \I.Ork. he asserted. We have been working on this for several months. and Capital Projects Manager Ko.hm has been doing a terrific job of negotiating with Situs. he said. Situs has been a greal property to work wi1h throughout the last several years, he said. and they have a lot of development interes1 in this area. They own the Wells Fargo building and the Bank One building. and there is a lot of development potential within this area. Mr. Simpson said lhis begins 10 offord lhe Bonk One building, specificolly. n 101 of polential fulure flexibilities. The aood news is. as we proceeded with this. we were able to come to a mutual agreement without condemnation of these parcels . for a total pUichasc price of $400,CXX>.00, he said. !ll1d this allows us to begin construction on lhe parkwoy in order to be ready for opening day in July .
