the propcny. 1.4 acres. a planned dc\-clopmcnt is n,quircd. This is a fairly typical medical office building.
there is nothing cxtrnord.inary about ii in lcnt\S of the siti ng or its amenities . He pointed out lha1 lhc
proposed landscaping is abo-,-c and bc:)·ond En glewood Code rcquin:menls . The Planning Commission
found in their review of the proposal th:ll two issues nocded n:solution before the)• prc;cnled it 10 City

"ith the Archdioocsc of Dem-er for an additional 25 parking spaces and. as n,quircd by the Vtilitics
DcpanmcnL they n:sol,-cd the is.sue of prolcction of the City Di1ch as it crosses lhe subjc:cc site by enl<ring
in10 a license agn:cmcnl. Mr. Sun szated that , as both issues wen: n:solvcd and the development docs noc
pose any extraordinary issues to the a,mmunily , staff is rncommending that a public hearing befo n:
Council be foregone .
Council Member Vonniltag asked "'hat the lraffie situation is going to be at Floyd and Broa,h,ny if 1he

10 the medical office buildings affilialed \lith Swedi sh Med ica l Cenler or the Kaiser Permancme Office in
the 2900 block of Sooth Brnadway. Discuss ion ensued.
Council Member Waggoner asked if it is the thinking betwttn the Church and the medical plaza that
lhosc parking lots \\i ll noc be used at the same time. Mr . Stitt \lated tha1 generally thal is the case . The
agrccmc nl with the Archdiocese in\'Ol\'CS the m-crilow parking lot and includes a stipulation that 1hcy
would ha\'C the right to ask the medical plaza to rcloc:uc some of their cars in the c\'c nt there was a
funeral or some other church acti\il)• during the day . Likewise then: is a reciprocal agn:cmcnt included
tha t al lows the church 10 use the medical center parking during non-business hours.
Mayor Bums asked why staff docs noc feel Council or.eds to hold n public hearing. Plnnnin g
Adntlnistra1or S1itt staled that this dc\-clopmcnl has posed no extrnordiscuy problems to the Chy in tenns
of the m'icw. He pointed out that the conditions th31 were imposed by the Pl ann ing Commission would
ha\'e been imposed by staff had then: noc been a public hearing or• required planned dcvclopme111. The
planned dc\·clopmenl pro,idcs for some Oexi bili1y in the siti ng of structures and the potenlial for
reduction in parking if a study can show lhat is ncccssary . But thi s dc\'clopmcnt foli o" the Zoning
