its usage and the lack of ace••• to that area which would be a serious prob-
1•• should the area be developed with large apartment houses ae was possible
under the preaent R-3-B zoning. He stated that zonin1 tbe entire tract
R-2-A would coaply with all the exiatin1 usage, would not represent spot
zonin1 as there i• R-2-A zoning i ... diately to the North, would provide
1reater benefit to land owner• and users in the form of an orderly develop-
aent. Discussion ensued.

turbance than duplexes and discussed other objections to the proposed R-2-A
zoning. Mr. Skerrill and bis son-in-law were present and spoke for tbe zon-
ing as it presently exists and requested that tbe R-3-B zoning be extended
to tbe entire area under consideration. Mrs. Body spoke in favor of leaving

sideration to the business district.

cbange to rise. Nine peraona indicated that tb9opposed tbe pl'epoaed zon-
ing cbange to R-2-A.

pro~1 ... with tbe nu•ber of peraon reaidin1 in that small an area.

RESOLUTION
WBBRBAS; there baa been placed upon the ballot for November 8, a proposed
conatitutional a .. nd .. nt for tbe County Local Option Sales Tax known as
A .. nd .. nt #5, and
223
Minute• of October 17, 1960
W&mlBAS; said constitutional a .. ndment provides that Colorado cities can
recapture revenue produced therefrom within their respective boundaries,
and
WllKllAS; The Englewood 11o .. Rule Charter, two successive citizens budget
co .. ittees, The Englewood City Council, The Inglewood City Administration,
The Englewood Planning and Zoning Coamission, The Englewood Chamber of
co ... rce as well as many individual citizens have urged that a substantial
prograa of Public Improve .. nta be inaugurated, and
WBBIBAS; such a Public laprove .. nt program in Englewood would bring for-
ward -looking results in: paving, parks and recreation, library facilities,
traffic flow and control installations; storm drainage, bridges, and public
buildings, and
WISIBAS; llany of our sister cities throughout the state, including the
City of Denver have similar preaaing needs, varing only in degree; and
WllBllBAS; such a revenue producing measure could bring a harmonious solution
to the Metropolitan question, "How shall a city in the area be reimbursed
for services and facilities rendered to citizens of another city", and
WBB•BAS; such a tax, paid only when items other than food or drugs are
purchased, would be a voluntary type of tax as distinguished from a man-
datory kind such as an incoae tax (which might produce revenue for only
one city), and
WHBRBAS; such a tax would be relatively easy to administor and would pro-
duce an adequate amount of revenue for the Public Improvement program
that is necessary, and
WllBRBAS; in addition to financing the Public Improvement program a
substantial reduction in property and special taxes would result, and
WISIBAS; a considerable portion of the revenue from such a tax would be
paid in Englewood by non-reaidenta, and
WllBRBAS; approval of aaend .. nt #5, provides that such a tax could not
beco .. effective locally without the right of the citizens of Arapahoe
County to vote on the queation,
NOW TBBRBFORB BB IT RBSOLVBD; that theEnglewood City Council in official
••••ion this 17th Day of October, 1960, hereby endorses the County Local
Option Sales Tax known aa a .. nd .. nt #5, and for the good and sufficient
reasons enumerated heretofore, reapectfully asks its citizens to support
tt•s proposal with their votes, and
BB IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT; should .this proposal finally become effec-
tive in Arapahoe County, the Englewood City Council would recommend and
work toward the following formula for use of the funds; one fourth of all
revenues generated within Arapahoe County would be used totally for a
county-wide reduction in property taxes. The remaining three fourths of the
revenue generated in Englewood would be re-captured by tbe city with an
additional one fourth of the original receipts used totally to reduce pro-
perty and special taxes inside the city. The remaining portion, one half
of the original receipts, would be utilized by the City of Englewood pri-
aarily for Public Improve .. nta.
Passed and adopted this 17th day of October, A.D. 1960.
