ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSI ON MEETING
December 13, 1956
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Jones at 8:00 P. M.
Members Present: Barde, Guilford, Jones, Rapp, Rudd
Members Absent: Braun, Romans
Horace and Ivan Jones 4600 Block South Broadway
2265 Fair Ave., Littleton, Colo.
PAGE 167
Hearing No. 53
The Messers. Jones appeared to request Planning Commission consideration for change of
zoning of property along the East side of the 4600 Block South Broadway from p r e s ent C-2
Zone District to an R-3 District for the purpose of construction of an apartment house.
The description of the above property known as 4690-94 South Broadway is Lots 19-22, Inc.,
Block 57, South Broadway Heights. It is presently being used for a motor court.
The petitioners stated that they felt that, due to the increased amount of commercial
business being situated in outlying localized shopping centers, the possibility for such
development along South Broadway south of Cherrelyn is being greatly retarded and tha
apartment house use would be more beneficial both to them and the City.
It was explained that in arriving at the present Zone Map, through the efforts and planning
of both the Planning Commission and the retained consultants, it was anticipated that it
would be a number of years before the full values in various zones would be attained and
the commercial strip which is South Broadway was planned for such development and certainly
there has not been enough lapsed time, since passage of the 1955 Zoning Ordinance, for this
full anticipated commercial development to be realized.
Rudd moved:
Guilford seconded: That the reque s t for rezoning from C-2 Zone District to R-3 Zone
District be denied.
Ayes: Barde, Guilford, Rapp, Jones, Rudd
Nays: None
Absent: Braun, Romans
Mrs. Rose Lorenzo
3700 South Logan
See Below Hearing No. 50-A
November 29, 1956
Mrs. Lorenzo, having attended the meeting of November 29, 1956, again appeared to discuss
further the possiblity of rezoning property along the West side of South Logan Street in
the 3700 Block South Logan Street. She presented a petition signed by five property owners
in the block requesting the zone change from R-1-D to R-2 zoning. The addresses of the
petition signers were all along the West side of the 3700 Block South Logan and it was again
pointed out to Mrs. Lorenzo that an area not lessthan that bounded by South Logan Street,
East Lehigh Avenue, the South Grant-South Sherman alley and East Kenyon Avenue should be
considered in order to avoid spot zoning.
It was also felt that, inasmuch as the Englewood Public Schools anticipate securing the
property directly across the street, the School Board should be contacted by the Planning
Commission to discuss the possible effects o f a zone change from their point of view.
Mrs. Lorenzo was advised that it might be t o her advantage to contact property owners
throughout the above described area in order to determine what degree of opposition might
exist.
Rapp moved:
Guilford seconded : That this matter be tabled for future reference.
Ayes: Barde, Guilford, Rapp, J o nes, Rudd
Nays: None
Absent: Braun
Eldon L. Lee See Below
731 Crestline Drive, Littleton
Hearing No. 54
Mr. Lee appeared to request Planning Commission consideration for rezoning of property
along the East side of the 3500 Block, South Pearl Street which property begins at the
junction of present C-2 Zone District, South of East Hampden Avenue, and R-2-A Zone District
and extends 150 feet South along South Pearl Street. The present Zone District is R-2-A
and Mr. Lee stated that, due to terrain and necessary expense in land filling of his site
along with several others in the area, the costs prohibit consideration of construction of
anything but multi-family units.
Mr. Lee stated that he realized that s p ot zoning of a single property could not be considered
and suggested that if the Planning Commission would consider it beneficial, he would petition
the area bounded on the North by the present C-2 Zone, the East by the Pearl-Washington alley,
the South by Jefferson Avenue and the West by the Logan-Pennsylvania alley, for the purpose
of rezoning from present R-2-A Zone District to R-3 Zone District.
The discussion which followed brought out the feasibility of consideration of a much hrger,
semi-circular area which might also include other properties, the owners of which also are
interested in R-3 Zoning (See Hearing No. 50-A). This area would be described as follows:
PAGE 168
Beginning at the point of intersection of the South line of the C-2 Zone District South of
East Hampden Avenue and the center line of the Washington-Clarkson alley; thence South
to the center line of East Kenyon Avenue; thence, West to the center line of South Logan
Street; thence, South to the center line of Eas t L ehigh Avenue; thence, West to the center
line of the South Broadway-Lincoln alley; thence, North to the center line of East Kenyon
Avenue; thence, East to the center line of South Sherman; thence, North to the center line
of East Jefferson Avenue; thence, Southeasterly along the center line of Erickson Drive
to the center line of South Logan; thence, North to the center line of East Jefferson Avenue;
thence, East to the center line of the Logan-Pennsylvania alley; thence, North to the South
line of the C-2 Zone District South of East Hampden Avenue; thence, East along the South
line of the C-2 Zone District to the point of beginning.
It was agreed that further consideration and study should be given this type of Zoning
change.
Mr. Lee stated that he would prefer that no action be taken on his request at this time
awaiting the outcome of the above mentioned study.
Don Cludray 4600 Block South Acoma Hearing No. 55
4690 South Lincoln
Mr. Cludray, owner of property with 125 foot frontage along South Acoma Street at the
Southwest Corner of the intersection of South Acoma and West Tufts Avenue appeared and
presented a petition si gned by owners of propert y ~in the 4400, 4500 and 4600 blocks,
South Acoma Street, requesting consideration of rezoning from present R-1-D Zone District
to R-2-A Zone District from the Broadway-Acoma alley to the Acoma-Bannock alley and from
West Radcliffe Avenue to West Union Avenue for the purpose of construction of a two family
dwelling on Mr. Cludray's building site. The area petitioned was the minimum size which
could be considered to elim inate the element of spot zoning.
After discussion,
Rapp moved:
Guilford seconded: That, based on the fact that the City of Englewood now has a greater
area designation of R-2-A and R-2-B Zoning than do other cities of
similar characteristics, and it is considered that the City is now
adequately provided, areawise, with such zoning classifications,
the request be rejected at this tiire.
Ayes: Barde, Guilford, Jones, Rapp, Rudd
Nays: None
Absent: Braun, Romans
Mr. Jack Sakdol, Attorney
Mrs. Alice M. McKinley
3472 South Cherokee
See Below Hearing No. 49-A
November 15, 1956
Mr. Sakdol, who appeared at the Planning Commission meeting of November 15, 1956, appeared
again to request final action on his petition for rezoning of the South Half C!) of Lot
Eleven (11), all of Lot Twelve (12) and the fractional part of Lot Thirteen (13) not now
occupied by West Hampden Avenue, all in Block On e (1), McKinley Subdivision (Located at
the Northeast Corner of the intersection of West Hampden Avenue and South Cherokee Street),
from present C-1 Zone District to C-2 Zone District for the purpose of construction of a
service station.
Guilford moved:
Rudd seconded: That, for the reason that a C-2 Zoning would permit drive-in type
operations which would unduly increase existing traffic hazards at
this point of merger between Highway No. 70 and West Hampden Avenue,
the request for rezoning be denied.
Ayes: Barde, Guilford, Rapp, Jones, Rudd
Nays: None
Absent: Braun, Romans
There being no further business to come before the Plannin g Commission, the meeting was
adjourned at 11:00 P. M.
Approved:
