a . Memo Lot Coverage Standards
Mr. Bell reviewed the previous discussion of current dimensional
standards. At the prev ious meeting , it was agreed that the bulk plane
and height regulations are acceptable . With regards to lot coverage , the
Commissioners had previously requested information on the actual lot
coverage of recent developments in the city . He supplied information to
the Commissioners for several duplexes and a triplex that were built in
2015 and 2016 . The primary jurisdiction used for comparison was
Denve r because the development and neighborhood patterns are
similar and contiguous to Englewood's northern border where the
redevelopment act ivity has been greatest. Discussion regard ing
different methods of determining lot coverage included an explanation of
floor area ratio (FAR) versus actual lot coverage.
After examining the examples presented , it was determined that recent
developments in northeastern Englewood , specifically duplexes , did not
utilize the 60% maximum lot coverage . The average lot coverage of the
properties developed in 2015 and 2016 is approximately The
Commissioners reached consensus that staff will report to Council that
the Commission exam ined the bulk plane and height regulations and
does not recommend any changes . Staff would also report that the
Commiss ion d iscussed lot coverage and would find a slight reduction
acceptable. Mr . Bell stated that he will consult with staff to determine
how to proceed .
