INTER-OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
To: The Englewood City Council Date: November 15, 1957
From: The Englewood Planning Commission
Subject: Analysis of ICRPC Report No. 2 "Work and People in the Denver Re gion"
This report differs from previous ICRPC preliminary plans in that it consists mainly of
historical and factual data presented to reasonably forecast future regional trends rather
than a specific plan. The sources of the statistics and the methodical presentation leave
little room for questioning.
ENGLEWOOD PROPER:
However, certain points and assumptions justify specific mention. One assumption (Page 40)
indicates particular agreement with Englewood's Planning. It is "The social implications
of human association within small communities are many. The continued existence of community
areas within larger areas of urban development is essential".
A second basic consideration lending practical value to the report is the placement of
emphasis on balanced community development. A section in the Forward-Summary on Page VII
reads as follows: "Principal consideration was given to the development of individual
communities within the Region . Proposals to accomplish this include the location of
industrial areas in or near communities to provide the necessary community tax base, and
the physical separation of communities by open areas of agricultural land, flood plains,
parks and low density residential development. Proper spacing of highway .interchanges
will also facilitate community development."
Another phase of the report which should prove valuable to Englewood in its current
planning problems are sections dealing with the nature and requirements of industries in
the present day Denver region. Points listed on Page 24 illustrate the changing nature
of industries in this area and point to trends we should consider in laying out our
future industrial zones. A discussion on Page 32 presents some valuable considerations
on the planning of industrial park developments.
The accompanying map showing future Englewood industrial areas is very close to our own
present plan, particularly for such a general regional map. Only two (2) changes might be
made to make it more realistic:
(1) Decrease the industrial zone north of Hampden Avenue betweeri South Elati Street and
South Huron Street in favor of commercial and park use, and
(2) Increase the industrial area westward in the Scenic View area.
I can see no basic controversy between Englewood and the ICRPC in this particular report.
It seems very well done and should prove very valuable to Englewood.
PAGE 238
ARAPAHOE COUNTY AREA:
On Page 33 of the report , seven (7) major industrial areas are listed. No. 4 in the list
is "South and southeast of Littleton".
In referring to this site on the map we see that the present Ramo-Wooldridge area is marked
for industrial use and the Ohio Oil Company area due west of Ramo-Wooldridge as industrial.
However , the two areas are separated by open or agricultural land including a tract proposed
for an executive airport site.
The area surrounding the airport site to the north is presently being developed at a fast
rate into residential use. It would seem lo g ical that if this area is to become one of the
seven major industrial sites in the region as indicated in the study, that th e Ohio Oil
Company area and the Ramo-Wooldridge area should join each other putting the present proposed
airport site and surrounding vacant land to the south to industrial use.
An alternate airport site may well be on the higher ground in the flood basin behing Cherry
Creek Dam. Buildings such as the terminal, hangars, and control towers could be located on
adjacent property not endangered by flooding with the runways in the basin itself. The
chance of the runways being flooded would be somewhat remote and even if they were flooded
temporarily , it would not affect them seriously .
If for any reason the Cherry Creek Basin site would prove impractical, there is substantial
vacant area due south of the presently proposed airport site in which the airport could be
located without materially affecting its usefulness to the metropolitan area.
At any rate it appears from actual usa g e and known plans of land owners and developers in
the Ramo-Wooldridge and Ohio Oil Company area ~hat this area is destined to become a lar g e
industrial ~rea and make development of the present airport site very unwise.

Mrs. A. F. Bailey appeared to renew a request originally made February 14, 1957 for re-zoning
of the area surrounding 3565 South Emerson from R-1-D to R-2 Zoning. In discussion follow-
ing, it was pointed out that her original request had been carefully studied with other
similar requests in the area and that all had been denied as a result of Planning Consultant's
recommendations. It was determined that the basic zoning factors in the case had not
changed subsequent to the original request.
Braun moved:
Barde seconded: That the renewed request for rezoning of the above described area be
denied.
