Th e following members of the City Planning and Zoning Co .. ission were present: llr. Jorgenson, Mr. Ed Smith, llr. Tanguaa, llrs. Wade and Mr. Williams. The follo wing •embers of the Commission were absent: llr. Jones, llr. Parker, llrs. Pierson and Mr. Don Smith. FINDINGS OF FACT Upon review of the evidence taken in the form of testi11e>ny, prese nta t ions, repor~s and filed documents, the co .. iss ion •akes th e following findings of fact: That proper noti ce of the meeting to consider the proposed zoning was g~ven by posting and publishing. That th e area being considered is described as that area bounded on the north by the centerline of East Kenyon Avenue, on th e e ast by the centerline of the Sherman/Grant alley, on the s outh by the centerline of East Oxford Avenue and on the west by the centerline of the Broadway/Lincoln alley. That the area being considered was previously zoned R-2-A, Two-faaily Re side nce, which zone district was repealed by Ordinance No. 30, Series of 1975 . That the land to the north of the area which is being considered is zoned R-3, High Density Residence and R-2, Mediua Density Residence: to the east of the subject area, the land is zon e d R-1-C, Sing l e -family Residence; to the south, the land is zoned R-1-C, Single-family Residence and R-2, Mediua Density Residence; and to the west, the land is zoned B-2, Business . • • • • ... That the subject area includes eight blocks and is situated between a single-fa•ily residential develoi:aent on the ea9t and n bm:sinrRR rfiRtrict on the woAt. Flood Junior High School and a Hanll area of aediua-density residential dovolopmont .1H lo tho north, nnd the area to the south is a dovelo.-«'nt or prtaarlly Htnglo-faaily houses with some two- ta•ily residences interspersed throughout. That the sub.J•'Cl nroa was largely developed with •inale-faaily residences 11e>re than thirty years ago; how- ever, there were soae residences designed for two-family use throushout tho area. That within the subject area, there are now approximately 144 single-faaily units, 31 two-faaily units, seven three or four-faaily units, and one eight-faaily unit. That there are approximately three undeveloped sites within the subject area at this time. That the single-t'aaily and two-family units would be peraitted uses and would aeet the requirements of the R-2-C, lledlUll Density Zone District, and the units in excess of that density could continue to be used as Non-Conforming Uses. Tbat consistent with accepted Planning practice, the R-2-C, MediU11-Density Residence District zoning would serve as a "buffer" between the business district to the west and the aingle-faaily residence district to the east. That the proposed R-2-C Medium Density Residence District would be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. CONCLUSIONS That proper public notice of the Public Hearing was given by both posting the property and publishing in the official City newspaper. That the area which was the subject of Case No. 7-76, which area is proposed to be zoned R-2-C, Medium-Density Resi- dence, is one in which single-family and two-family units are and can be adequately accommodated, but a higher density develop- •ent would not be coapatible with the existing development. That the proposed R-2-C, Medium Density Residence District zoning would provide a suitable transition between the Business District to the west of the subject area and the single-faaily residential area to the east . • • • I 'I 'l'hael lh o 1•1 'ul"''""' If :~ c·, Mutlllam lh-111~1L,Y lttJ .. lctunou 018lrt c l would hnv., n Rf nlJllJ.~lntc and protective effect on the cixtAt tnar 1·c•ul1l.,ut lad 1l.,v1•lu1•mc•nf n111l, •• ,,.,, lhc1 va o unl ~llc.s w1th1n tta1H urea lo ~o dovulopcd under this zone classification, tho ueos would be co•paliblc with the existing developaent. That the proposed R-2-C, Mediua Density Residence District would exclude the construction of new dwellings in excess of a two-family density and would protect against encroachment of general co1mercial or industrial uses. That the proposed R-2-C, Medium Density Residence zone District will continue to conserve and stabilize the value of property, secure safety from fire and other danger, prevent un- due concentration of population and traffic and proaote the health, safety, •orals and the general welfare of the public and would i•ple•ent the Coaprehensive Plan of the City of Inglewood, Colorado, which plan was adopted by Resolution No. 28, Series of 1969 •
