Planned Development approved by City
Council by Resolution No. 30, on
Hay 15, 1989.
The Department of Community Development
Richard S . Wanush, Director of Community Development
Adopt a Resolution approving the amendment to the Swedish Medical Center Planned
Development. The Council may choose to hold a public hearing on this matter. The
hearing would be set for September 18, 1989.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
The City Council considered the Swedish Medical Center Pla:med Development at Public
Hearing on January 16, 1989, and February 21, 1989 on the recommendation of the
Planning Commission. The Council r em anded the Planned Development to the Commission
at the request of the c:wcdish Medi cal Center. The Commission reconsidered the
remanr\ed P:anned Devel.,.me nt on March 21, 198 9, and voted to refer it to the City
Council with a favorable ~·ec omm endati on; but also recommended that parking on South
Pennsylvania Street be short~term, and that special parking permits be issued to the
owners of the property at 3419 und 3430 South Pennsylvania Street.
The City Council reconsidered the Planned Development at a Public Hearing on M.1 y 15,
1989 and approved the Planne d Development, with a number of amendments, by
Resolution No. 30, Series of 1989 .
STAPP ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment to the Swedish Medical Center Planned Development has been
r equested to provide for the enlargement and modernization of the Intensive Care
Unit (ICU) by the addition of individual rooms for patients around a central
monitoring and nursing station . No additional personnel will be employed, and no
additional beds will be provided in the up-graded facility .
The amended Plan also reflects the changes imposed by the City Council at its
meeting on Kay 15, 1989 .
BAClGllOUIID
There hu been a health care faclllty at the locatlon of the Swedlsh Med i cal Center
alnce 190S, when a Sanatorium was opened for the r.are of p-trsons with Tuberculos is .
The c1111pua now lncludes a 328 b e d health care faclllty, Cralg Rehabilltatlon
Hoapltal (designated as the Rocky Mountaln Reglonal Splnal Surgery Center), and the
afflliated Spauldlng Rehabllitatlon Ho sp ltal, and tho Rocky Mountaln Multlple
Sclerosis facilitles . There will also be two medict.1 offlce buildings on the slte
wlth the completion of MOB II whlch ls lncorporated ln the orlginal Planned
Develo;,ment , A second parking structure is also ur.der construction as part of the
approved Planned Development.
Te ■timrmy ,11t the several public h ear ings on the Planned D.•ve lopme nt. established that
the existing Intensive Care Unit facilities ere grossly inadequate and d o not
provide the privacy and dlgnity that should be afforded crltlcally 111 patients, nor
can the necessary medical equipment be provided in the present fac ilities.
The propo·,~d addition will include individual patient rooms which are necessary for
each Intensive Care patient to be treated with the proper eqvipment, and to have the
priv acy that is so necessary for t he patient and the patient I s family . A central
nursing and monitoring station will provide the facilities "'hich are necessary for
the ICU staff .
The ICU addition will b e on th~ south side of the present facility and it will
extend 70 feet to the \<llest ut il izing the vacated right-of-way for South Pennsylvania
Street. The design "'ill permit at 25.8' setb ack from the Dunn property at 3430
South Pennsy lvania Street , rather than 15 f eet as sho"'n on the approved Plan.
The revised access approved by the City Co uncil on May 1 5, 1989, has been
incorporated in the revis ed Plan .
The financial benefi t to the City is lndirect. Swedi sh Medlcal Center and the
assoc iated specialized care health facilities provide a major emp loyme nt center on
the perimeter of the Central Business District, and draw t h ousands of patients and·
their friends and famil ie s to o ur community . Many professiona l people have located
their offices in Englewood beca use of the health care facilities and a number of
support services have loca ted in the area, Co ntac ts with the City staff by
developers indicate t hat the Swedish Me dical Center is a majo r anchor in the
economic d eve lopment of the City of Englewood and broadens t he t ax base and
increases City revenue through increased sales and provi des the benefits of
additional medical support businesses. There will be con tinuing opportunity in the
City for expansion of office s pace, s upp ort businesses, and housing for employees of
the health care facilities, famili~s of patie nts , and business people.

BACKGROUND OF PREVIOUS ACTION RELATING TO THE PROPERTY :
The area within the Swedish Medical Center Campus, west of South Clarkson Street,
was part of the original City of Englewood. Th e portion east of South Clarkson
Street was annexed in 1946. The original zo ning was R-3, Multi-family Residence
District, and C-1, Commercial Di strict . The zoning was changed in 1963 to R-3-B,
Multi -family Residential District , and B-2, Bu s iness District .
Swedish Medical Center began as Swe di s h Tube r culos is Sanatorium in 1905 . A1 the
need for a primary tube r cu losis tre atment cente r diminished, it became a general
.Ahealth care faci lity. In 1968 u land len sc with Crai g Re habilitation Hospital
W brought neurological core to the Swedish Mcd ic.il Center Cam pus . I n 1972, the
Federa l Government named Cr a ig Hosp ital as the Rocky Mo untain Regiona l Spinal Sur-
gery Center . Mo re recently, Swedish Medic al Centt:r h,1s aff iliated with Spalding
Rehabilitation Ho s pital , a nd the Roc ky Mountain ~lult ip le Sc l e ros is Foundation has
relocated to the Swe dish Medi c a l Cam pu s.
The staff and Board mem b ers fr om t he Swedish Medical Ce nter hav e met with the City
Planning and Zoning Co mmission , the Bo ard of Adjus tment and Appeals , and City Coun-
cil and t he staff nume r ous t imes over the past 30 years in an effort t o keep the
City informe d of t h ei r expnndi 11 g me dica l p rogram a nd the faciliti es n ecessary to
accommodate that p r ogram . A decision was m.i de s eve r a l years ago to orient the
health ca r e f ac ilities to t he west portion of th£: c ampus.
The City Plann i n g a nd Zonin_s Comm ission c..:o nside red t he or i gina l Planne d Development
at Public Hea ring on 1'0 ·1cmbcr 1 5, 1968 , a nd December 13, 1988, Afte r hav1ng weighed
the evi denc e submitted at :.:he Public II C'a ri ng , t he Planning Co mmis s ion voted to refer
the Swedish Medical Cc•n t c r Plann(>d De velopment to the City Council with a favordble
recomm e ndation ,
The City Counc il considered the matter at a Public Hear i ng on January 16, 1989; and
the He aring was c on tinued t o February 2 1 , 1989. At the February 21, l.989 City Coun-
cil meeting , the Planned De velopment . as well as t h e right-of-way vacation requests,
were remanded t o Planning Commi ssion c.,t t h e request o f Sw e di s h Medical Center .
On March 2 1, 1989, the Planning Commis s i on reviewed the original Planned Development
A:s remanded from City Council. At th d.t meeting, the Planned Development was ap -
w;roved by Planning Commission with tne c ondi tion that parking on South Pennsylvania
-Street be for short-term parking , or Mr . and Hr s . Dunn be granted
pemits . At the meeting of Hay 15 , 1989, after n Public Hearing ,
proved the Planned Developme nt with a mendments . 1hese amendments
on the Planned Development submission .
ULATION TO 'lHE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN :
special parking
City Council ap-
are all reflected
The 1979 Comprehensive Plan does not address the main campus of Swedish Medical Cen-
ter; but it does, however, make reference to areas south, west and east of the
Svediah Medical Center campus . The area sou th of the Swedish Hodlcal Center Campus,
between East Hampden Avenue a nd U.S. 285 is referenced as the "East Hampden Corri-
dor--mixed use/medical" area. Sw e dish Medi ca l Center expansion plans are seen as a
catalyst for rev italization in the area . The a r e a directly we st of the Swedish
Medical Center campus was r e ferenced in the Co.nprehensiv e Plan as "Medically•Related
Development ", and the Comprehensive P lan recomrre nds support of medically•related
office space for the n cea .
The proposed a111endment will not alter the re lationship of the approved Planned
Development to the Comprehensive Plan .

The items detailed above have b e en addres sed by the applicant, and the amended
Planned Development meets the requirements o f a ll City Oe partmonts .
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION :
A• mentioned previously , this Pl anned Development amendment wn s necessitated by a
new design for the Swedish Me dical Center I CU . The new design will allow for indi-
vidual rooms around a central monl tori n& ,'.md nursing station,
The amended building design wil l enlarge the facility, but it will not increase the
number of beds or employee s . The parking require ments for hospitals are based on
net beds and employees. Therefore , this amendment will not increase the parking
requirement. Approximately 14 spa ces that ""ere previously in the loading dock area
and in the parking area in front of the main hospital facility have been replaced
with 14 spaces under the new designed addition .
The total landscap ing to r the Planned Dev e l o pme nt , ""hich is in excess of 301 , (251
is required) will not be affected by t his amendment. The area under the expanded
facility had b ee n p aved area on t h e ap proved Planned Development.
The proposed a me ndme n t will no:: cha nge traffic patterns fo r the hospital facility ,
or for the entire Me dic a l Ccntc:r. Se r vice nnd commercial vehicles will still enter
and exit the l oad i ng dock a re.:i via Ea st Hampden Ave n ue. Other veh icular patterns in
the arva will b e unaffec ted by this amendment.
Th e efi ec t of thi s a me ndme nt or the s urrounding area wil l be two.fo ld. The amended
facility will b e 25.8 ' f r om t he Dunn prope rty rather t han 15' as p r ev iously ap-
prove d , and the facility will extend a pprox im ate ly 70' fa rther ;.o t h e west . The
h e igh t of the facility will rema in t he same .
In conclusion, t h e proposed Planned De velopment ame nd .ne nt for Swedish Medical Center
will not impac t the s urround ing area, La nd s caping, parking, and .. !1'i cular and
pedestrian flow will be unalte red by this amcndme n i:. At t h e same time, internal
patient flo"" and an improved connection with tl1e Ope rating Room will be accomplished
""1th the reconfi g u ration o f the ICU f.icility.
The Departme n t of Community Developmen t rec omme nds that t h e Pl a nning Commission ap-
prove the Swedi sh Medic., 1 Cent<' r Planned Devc lopment a mendment , and chat it be sent
to City Counci l for their cons ideration.

V. PUBLIC PORUII
Councllnan Clayton stated that he would not be able t o attend City Council/
Planning Co•laaion dinner on July 31, inas11Uch as he wlll be ln Snowm ass on
offlclal business.
Kr , Clayton discussed the issue of trash and waste managP.ment with the Com.111s .
sion. He stated that City Council has considered this issue for at least two
year•, and have tried to come up with solutions to this problem . Mr. Clayton
stated that two issues of paramount importance that have to be con ■ldered are
(1) Liability , and (2) Coat , The City of Englewood is a contributor to the
Lowry Landfill, and the City could be assessed a considerable amount to assist
ll) the clean-up of this lsndflll , even though what the City hauled to Lowry
was not polluted . The City of Englewood does not have a ncity•system" of
trash removal, but depends upon private haulers : the cities that do have a
city•ayatem of trash removal are facing massive expenses on the clean •up of
the landfills. Hr . Clayton d i scussed the current costs for trash removal and
disposal, notlng that in Colorado it is still $11 or $12 per ton, whlle in the
eastern United States the costs may be as high as $100 per ton . Incineration
expenses can be $85 per ton , and there is the matter of the disposal of the
ash after incineration . Hr. Clayton discussed recycling of waste materials
such as newspapers , aluminum cans, glass, plastics, etc . Ag a in, the iss ue of
cost mu st be considere d. There is no marke t for recycled products . Hr . Clay •
ton stated that he understands Minneapolis/St . Paul has instituted a charge
for containers that cannot be recycled . Hr. Clayton stated that Mayor VanDyke
i s inltiating a program of office paper recycling in City Hall.
Discussion ensued . Hr . Schultz stated that he would agree something should be
done to promote recycling . Ho ■uggo ■ted tho possibility of dividing the City
into several areas, and have a specific private trash hauler responsible for a
apeciflc area . The aervice would atlll be privately provided, and the con-
tracts would be awarded on the baala of blda . Kr , Clayton stated that this la
belng explored vith the Clty Attorney at the present time.
Kr , Schultz aaked Kr , Clayton lf, in hl ■ oplnlon , the Councll vlew■ the lssuo
-.i,ith the same urgency as do es the Co11111l11lon . Hr . Clayton stated that in his
• 5 •
opinion the Council doea view traah removal aa an urgent matter . Mr. Clayton
diacusaad on-going change ■ in technology, and pointed out thnt incineretion 1a
very "capital lntenalve,"
Ha . Tobin atated that aho would hava a problem with a governmental trash sys-
