The proposal that was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission was for a Plamed Unit Development that would allow for a mortumy to be a pcnnitted use on the property located at doe northwest comer of South University lloulrvard and East Outmouth AVCftl!C. There are aa...U,. two pmcls in this proposal, localing approximately 2.38 acres. The nonhcm pa,a:I is a ,-acant pan:d d about one aac and the SCU1hc:m parccl is slightly over 2.25 aacs. The site is developed with a rtligiom institution and currently is occupied and ti,c property 10 L'ic nonll is vacant and bas been for qui IC a aumbc:, of yc:us.

Mayor Bwru clarified lhat Council 's normal procedure, when they have ~lie hearinp on U>"i"B iauea ... and this has been true or the Chy for many ycan ... is not 10 vole on the ordinance on lhc night or the public hearing. but 10 vole al the next meeting. And indeed, he said. the City Augmcy has advilcd Council !hat !he ordinance is not before lhern 1011ighl. So. he Sllllcd, Council will Like input al the Pub! c Hcarina and vole on this measure at lhcir next Council meeting in two wcck.s . Jim Zavist. 1900 South Oatbo •. Slrccl. Denver, said he is pas1 president and cwronUy the zoning chair nr the Wes,. Univcnily Communily AssociaUnn. which is a resistcn:d neishborbood organiz.ation in Denver. Their boundaries run l'lom Broadway on lhc west and li,>ivcrsity on the C3SI and from I lS down IO !he Denver city limill on lhe south. So, he pohued out, !heir boundaries do abul lhe proposed PUD . Mt. Zavist advised lhal !hey wcrc only nttnUy Ill.Ide aware oflhis being an issue in En&Jcwood lnd !hey have rcaliy had no colllael wilh either lhc applicanl or E'J1sJcwood Planning and Zonins-He said lhal since they ba,-. !IOI been made aware ofit w11il rcccnU y, they have not been able to take a formal pos\tlon on ii. What they normally do Is pass 0111 flye11 10 any nelgllbon Iha! would be afTCC1cd by any =•ning and ask for input al !heir meeting which they hold on a monthly basis . So. Mr. Zavist advised, they have not wkcn a formal position on !his. but he just wanted lo bring !heir historical viewpoint on issues loo: lhi~ We typically, he said. do !IOI suppon expansion or ccmmcrclal businesses Into residential areas . And on lhc face or ii , he maintained. this looks more like a cotrmcrcial use than a continuation o( an institu1ional or a church use. From v,h;,1 little he knows about lhe pl'0?0531 . he said , 11 seems like the prescnJ zoning is appropriale and going to a PUD would have significant im;,aCIJ on U1e r.:sidential uses in the SW1))Wlding parts of both Englewood and Denver and also ha,-. significant impaCIJ on lhe lrlllllc on SouU1 University. Whiqi is. he IIOlc:d, probably something nobody wanlJ 10 sec in eiU1cr En glewood or Denver.

Mr. Smid, stared Umt, like !he r,r., ge111leman. he loas nor been given the information. nor has lllere been any presen1ation given to either himself, their board or their neighborhood regarding this ,·cniurc thal is on the books . Therefore they were not able to properly address the spec ific issues that have been bro,·gh1 up 1onigh1. Bui , he said, based on U1e very brief information !hot has been preoenlCd lo them al their IIIOSI recent board mce,ing, they do feel strongly amo ng their board members nnd representatives orthc ncig)hiorhood that they arc against haYing any comm ercial venture exist in thi; residential.,.._ Again as ii has been nOlcd. he said. there an, three miles along University d1a1 exist without any commercial venture and they feel that there is no need 10 suddenly create a new precedence to establish this commercial venture here and now. They know the streets arc VCr)' busy and, he said, he personally can't see how a new commercial \COturc of any si7.C can help but increase the lrnffic now in that an:a . Whether you have SOOcars , a "ffl<· a monlh, a year ... he tl1ougl11 any kind ofvenlure would notw:illy increase uaffic now. They have Slavens School. which is just 1·wo blocks e:ist of that area and if}'OU ha,·c traffic flow increasing lhat WflY o; any kind of procession s going by the schoo l in tJ1c middle of the da), that may or may not have impact on the children. but it 1s cc nainly a consideration . Mr. Smitl1 said he docsn'I ha,.: any 01her specifics, he hasn't had time to nc111ally pe1ition his neigl1borhood . he would be happy to. in the next two weeks, just so Council could get a clear picture of how it is seen b~· lhc community al large . Dcn\'cr is maybe the n.licn nci ghbor 10 the cast. but tJ1cy do ha\'c concerns. While be has no objection 10 a new commercial vcn1urc existmg iu Englewood and having your ta.'( dollars inacasc, be \\Ould guess his question would be is this reall y lhc brsl loca tion fur such a vcniure . L:spccially , when you have oppommitics. pcl'Mps. only a few blocks 10 th e west on Broadwa y or on Hampden .
