COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that Ciiiy Council accept !he recommendation of !he Planning an~ Zoning
Commission and appro'le Somh Broadway ConceplS , Strategies and Ac tions by resolution .
SUMMARY AND BAO.GROUND:
Su mmary
City Council directed stzff to study Soulh Broadway in Spring, 1996. Staff learned from mer-
chants and residents tball itbey arc concerned with negative impaclS of some businesses and wilh
!he quality of life in otigfuborboods near South Broadway. The Soulh Broadway Action Plan
identified issues and primriries . The document is summarized . Once !he ConceplS, Strategies
and Actions are approved by City Council , staff will begin to bring forward proposa ls imple -
menting !he Plan .
Back gro und
Th~ South Broadway Camcepts. Strate gie s and Acti ons pr ov ide a lhree to five year work pro -
cram fo r imp roving Sotlill Broadway in Englewood . While Englewood ha s a le ader.;hip role in
the redevel opment pr=s. imple menting !he Plan also requires supp on from the comm unity.
Staff worked closel y 111 1CJ !he communi ty to de velop !h e Co nc eplS. identify and pri oritize !he

lic he arin gs in 1997 staff has wo rked to be re sponsive to stake holde , groups . Staff be lieve s
!hat th e re sult ing ACl!on Plan is ba lan ced and practi ca: By identi fy in g ac ti ons in the Plan and
wo rk ing to implem ent d:i..'"m O\'e r !h e next severa l years we have bot h orga ni zed !h e work and

The South Broadway Action Plan expands on Ille vision of ~•s 1979 Comprehensive •
Plan that identified the potential for revitalization of the Dowawwn portion of Broadway. The
South Broadway Action Plan 1997 suggests creating three new dislricts each with a unique
identity but also including elements unifying all of the Englewood di.strias. The Piao recom-
mends creation of development standards thal r~otribute to area cluracu:r as well as enforcing
existing regulations equitably and worlcing , JUSinesses to miliple their impacts on adjacent
busineases and n:sidenccs to improve South Broadway.
Legal Revi~w
The City Attorney's Office bas ~!tended the meetings and reviewed die draft South Broadway
Action Plan .
Planning Ccmmissior Action
Englewood's Plannini; and Zoning Commission accepted public aJIIIIIIClllS on the Plan during
three public hearings, provided direction to staff, and reviewed each of three successive drafts
of the South Broadway Action Plan . After considering the testimoay and reading the revised
South Broadway Action Plan, the Commission unanimously appro~ the Pl an.
FINANCIAL IMPACf;
The South Broadway Action Plan : Concepts , Strategies , and Aaiam irsclf bas uo fina11e1al im-
pact. The Plan is a policy document that guides other actions that cou ld ha ve furure f.nancial •
implicati ons. The se future implications requiie an on-going COIDIIllmity discussion each Action
ste p. Installing pedestrian amenities , constructing landscaped IIICldims , de ve loping civic fea-
tures , and providing technical assistance for facade renovations would all have financial im-
pact. There are also on-going financial impacts with ass igning mff ;o 'the South Broadway Ac-
ti on Plan acti vities such as encou rag in g business associations and mncting neighborhood
serving businesse~. Implementati on of Broa dway activities will depend on Council 's and the
community's willingness to make three to five year commlrmeDIS t.o anplemeotin g the ide nti -
fied activitie s.
