The City Council reconsidered the Planned Development at a Public Heartng on May I 5, 1989 and approved the Planned Development on by Resolution Number 30, Serifs of 1989. In July 1989, Swedish Medical Center requested an·amendment to the Planned Development to change the footprint of the lCU as proposed In the ortgtnal Plar·· ~d development. The Planning Commission held a Public Heartng on the proposea amendment on July 18, 1989 and voted to refer It to City Council with a favorable r ecommendation .

In May of 199G , Swedish Medi cal Center again r equested an amendment to the Planned Development to add a six story, 61 1, space parking structure to accommodated the n eeds of Medical Offi ce Building III and other users. The Planning Commission considered this request at a Public Heartng on Augus t 7. 1990, end voted to refer It to City Council for approval with conditions . City Councl\aa.. considered the proposed amendment on October I, 1990 end approved the ... amendment by Resolution Number 78, Serles of 1990. STAff ARAL YSIS The proposed em , dment to the Swedish Medical Center ts to add Medical Office Building IV. The ortglnal Planned Development noted that such a facWty was proposed, but no footprtJ>t or details were specified. This will be a 83,000 square foot office building end parking w1ll be provided through the addition of two and one- half floors to the South Logan Street parking structure. The Planning Commission Included fourteen conditions as part of their approval. These conditions have been agreed to by Swedish Medical Center. At the April 20, 1992 City Council meeting, concern was expressed that Items 11 through 14, of the Planning Commlllslon recommendation were not spedflc as to Implementation date. Dtscuss!ons between the Community Development and Public Works staff following this meeting have concluded that these four conditions will be Included with the preceding ten conditions, which are tx> be completed by the time MOB IV ts completed . BACKGROUND -- There has been a hea,th care facility at the location of SWecllsh Med1cal Center atnce 1905, when a sanatortum was opened for the care of tuberculosis patients. The campus now Includes a 328 bed health care facWty, Craig Rehabilitation Hospital (designated as the Rocky Mountain Regional Spinal Surgery Center), and the Rocky Mountain Multiple SclerOSls Facillties. Additionally, there are three medical office buildings on the main campus. FINANCIAL The financial benefit to the City ts Indirect. Swedish Medical Center and the associated specialized health care facilities provide a major employment center on the pertmeter of the downtown area. These facilities draw thousands of patients and their fri ends and families to our community. Many professional people have located their offices In Englewood because of these health care facilities and the number of support services located In the area . Contacts with the City staff by developers Indicate that the Swedish Medlcal Center ts a major anchor In the economic d eve lo~mr nt of th,. City of Englewood . The presence of these facilities helps to broaden the tax base, Increase City revenue through tncreasrd sales and provide the benefits of add1ti0t1al medical support businesses.

The one-way connection trom the garage to the de-A.. livery do c k a raa, used by the valet per onnel when 9" retriev ing cars , shall be controlled b y t h e gate (see revi sed Site Plan ). J . Due to signit i cant increase in the traftic activ- ity at the intersection ot East Hampden Avenue and South Logan Street, the radii .at the NE corner and the SE corner (presently 15 teat or 20 fee t re- s pect i vely) should be improved. New radiusus shall be in the range of approximately 35 teat . This will require the acquisition of additional r i ght-of-wa y at both corners. Furthermore , t h e costal gas station s ign at the NE corner need s to be re l ocated. These im pr ovements should be coord i nated with the cur r e nt s ignal upgrad e proj ect by SMC . 4 .

D!PllTMn·r or CQMKUNITY DfflLOPQHT NfALYSI8: The proposed amendment to the swedi ■h K■dical C ■nt ■r i ■ to allow for the relocation of a medical office building that vu ini- tially proposed to be located ea ■t of the new South Clark ■on Street parking structure onto the main campu ■ _proper. The Medi- cal Center view ■ thi ■ a ■ a more effective u■e of ■pace on the main campus while providing for a more efficient circulation pat- tern with in the campus. In reviewing a Planned Development the following ■tandards are to be applied. l. Uses permitted. The use of the p~opkrty which is the subject of the Planned Developaent, ■hall be a Permit- ted Principal Use in the Zone Di ■trlct in which the De- velopment i ■ locatad, or a u■e · permitted pursuant to other provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed medical office buildinq is a pel"ltitted u ■e ir. both the R-3 and B-2 zone district ■. 2 . The Planned Development sha ll !:Se consi ■tent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the policies therein . This pro posed Planned De velopment amendment i ■ consistent wi th the goals of the comprehensive Plan for the East Hampden Commer- cial c orridor . These goals are: To create a ·balance of commercial uses to reflect the charact e r nf the ne i ghborhood in which the corridor is locat e d. To improve t he v isua l aspects along these commercia l areas . To encourage ■ajor redevelopment and a varif1ty o! uses ~- in these ar ,as. ~ Furthermore, the consistency o! the ov,a rall Planned Development has been established through the approval o! the original P.O. and the two subsequent amendment ■• The Comprehensive Plan r~cog- nizes the long range expansion o! the Medical Center and notes that it would be a catalyst for further revitalization o ! the area . 3. The Planned Development'• relationship to it ■ surround- ings shall be considered in order to avoid adverse ef- fects to the existing and ·possible future development caused by traffic circulation, building height or bulk, lack of screening or intrusion• of privacy. Ona of the ■tated purposes of the Planned Development procedure i ■ to provide flexibility in de ■ign , A~ao, tha propoaed amend- ment must be viewed in the context of. the entire campus develop- ment. Given these parameters for analysis, the proposed Planned Development amendment i ■ compatible with th"I existing area in terms of the height, bulk and density of the development. 4. Minimum requirements for usable open apace shall be set through the overall design and amenities proposed for development. Since the majority of the site ia in the R-3 Zone District, the R-3 landscaping requirements for 25t of the total site to be landscaped are applied to the entire development. With the addi- tion of the Medical Office Building IV, the percentage of land- scape coverage is reduced from 29t to 27t of the total site. 5 . The number of off-street parking spaces in the proposed development shall not be leas than the requirement of comprehensive Zoning ordinance . In anticipating the need for additional parking, the original Planned Development provided for six floors of parking in the Lo- gan Street Parking Structure . currently there are three floors with 306 spaces in the structure . Three floors will be added to this structure 1.o provide !or a total of 615 spaces on six floors. The parking requirements for office buildings is one space for each 300 square feet o! net rentable area. Since no estimate for the net rentable are» i ■ available, applying this 300 square foot standard to the gross floor area reveals that the required parking would be 277 spaces. This is less than what is be i ng provid ed in t he addition to the Logan Street parkin~ struc- ture. 6 . Si te Plan. The a pproving ag~ncies shall be satisfied Ill that the site plan for the Planned Development meets A.. a ll the fo llowing req ui rements: 'W" 5 a. I! the propo ■ad development include ■ aulti-tami.y or nonresidential building ■ or structure ■ and ia adjacent · :o a single family residential 11 ■• dis- trict, th• development shall contain a butter.

Bicycle or pedestr i an t r ails are not proposed for the subject s ite . e . The site plan shall provide !or the maximum preservation of natura l drainage areas, vegetation and other desirable features. Since this is essentially a redevelopment o f a portion of the Swed ish Medical Center campu s, the drainage plan developed as a part of the original Plan~ed Development, will be modified to ac - co unt for the addition of MOB IV. 6 In terms of th• overall development plan this amendment i ■ con-A. ■i ■tent with the intent o! the Comprehensive Plan and the Planned ..
