M. Mr. Kelley presiding. Members present: Sam Hill, Rovert Kelley, Art Martin, Stan Miles, Maurice Pershing, Tymer Rice David Munns, Ex-officio I. KLZ Site Annexation and Zoning Case #8-61A Mr. Kelley explained that since the public hearing on May 11, 1961, the members of the Com- mission have jointly and ind ividually considered the points brought out at the public hearing on May 11; have review the reports, letters, studies and findings submitted by proponents and opponents of the proposal; have met with Mr. Sonny Perkins and Mr. Max Serafini from the firm of Meurer-Serafini-Meurer, (to study further the proposed drainage plan); and have con- ferred with the City Attorney. Mr. Munns reported that additional communications had been received fr om Mr. John Welles, 3602 South Gilpin; Frank Curran, 3295 South Williams; Mr. Harry Fleenor, 3383 South Corona ; Dr. Guard, 2616 South Downing; the owner of the Varsity Lanes, 2040 South University; and an article from Paul Wynne. Mr. Kelley asked for discussion from the Commission members. Mr. Hill stated he would vote in opposition to the annexation and zoning request for C-3 at the KLZ site for the following reasons: 1. Surveys made for the Chamber of Commerce and the City (before the KLZ site came into view) established no need for additional retail space in this area except for a major dry goods store in downtown Englewood. 2. Because there is already an extensive commercially-zoned area which is not fully developed, there should be no additional commercial zoning until such time as the existing Com- mercial area is developed . 3. A study by Dale Rea shows that Little Dry Creek is not adequate to carry the run off from a (large) storm and that there are three bridges that are, in Mr. Rea's opinion , inadequate. 4. Representatives of Meurer-Serafini-Meurer have mentioned that they are on a limited bud- get and have made a sketchy survey of the total Dry Creek area. There have been no plans submitted which show the developer will deepen the channel or build bridges. 5. The City Engineer has not approved the drainage plans submitted and has not said the proposed drainage structure will take care of the other problems created. 6 . There is a question as to where responsibility would lie if flooding resulted because the runoff from this site was diverted fr om o n e drainage way to another. Would liability lie with the developer or the City? Discussion followed. Rice moved: Pershing seconded: That the following facts and resolution be accepted. WHEREAS , THE FOLLOWING FACTS EXIST: A. On April 3, 1961, the City Council of Englewood referred to this Commission , for report and recommendation, the petition of Aladdin Broadcasting Corpo ration for annexa- tion and zoning of land owned by Aladdin, generally known as the KLZ radio transmitter site, which is bounded by Lafayette Street, Floyd Avenue, the 28-acre tract owned by Kent School, and by Hampden Avenue . I I I I I I Page 563 B. The annexation peti t ion requires that the land be zoned at the time of its annexa- tion , under use classification permit t ing the construction and operation of a com- mercial complex described as a regional shopping center; and the petition re f e r s to an attached Exhibit A which sets forth the definition of such a shopping center, and de- fines the permitted uses, restrictions, controls and requirements requested by the pe t itioner . C . In compliance wi t h Council's referral , and in accor ance with the applicable statutes of Colorado , Eng lewood ordinances , and the rules and regulations of this Commission, the Commission caused a public hearing concerning the p r oposal for zoning contained in the annexation petition t o be held on Thursday , May 11 , 1961 at which numerous persons appeared. D. In addition to wri t ten and oral materials and statements submitted and filed with the Council , the City Planning Office , and this Commission prior to and at the time of t he hearing , this Commission has included in its review and study the Commission's own assemblage of materials relating to planning for the City of Englewood and its environs . NOW , THEREFORE , Be It Resolved , that the City Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Englewood , ac t ing in regular meeting and pursuant to applicable s t atutes o f the State of Colorado , ordinances of the City of Englewood , and its own rules and regulations , for the reasons later set out in this resolution , advise , and recommend to the City Council of the City of Englewood as follows: (1) That , if annexed , there hereinafter described land should be ordinance be classified for use as a regional shopping center under the "C-3" (Commercial District) classification of Ordinance Number 45 , Series of 1955 , as amended , known as the "Zoning Ordinance o f the City of Englewood": A tract of land lying in Section 35 , Township 4 South, Rang e 68 West , in Arapahoe County , described as follows : beginning at a point where the East line of Block 50 , Evanston Broadway Addition , extended Southerly intersects t he ~ South line of Section 35 , Township 4 South , Range 68 West , said South line being the approximate center line of East Hampden Avenue ; thence Northerly along the East line of said Block 50 , to the North line of said Block 50; thence Easterly to the East line of South Lafayette; thence Northerly along said East line of South Lafayette Street to the center line o f East Floyd Avenue; thence Easterly along said center line of East Floyd Avenue to the East line of the SW 1 /4 , Section 35 , Township 4 South , Range 68 West; thence Southerly along said line to the Northeast cor- ner of the SE 1 /4 SW 1 /4 of Section 35 , Township 4 South , Ran g e 68 West ; thence Easterly along the North line of the SW 1 /4 SE 1 /4 Section 35, Township 4 South , Range 68 West, to the Northeast corner of the SW 1 /4 SE 1 /4 Section 35, Township 4 South , Range 68 West; thence Southerly along the East line of the SW 1 /4 SE 1 /4 Section 35 , Township 4 South , Range 68 West , to a point where said line intersects the North right-of-way of S.H . No. 70 (East Hampden Avenue), said point being approximately 90 feet Northerly of the Southeast corner of the SW 1 /4 SE 1 /4 Sec t ion 35 , Township 4 South, Range 68 West; thence Westerly along said North ri g ht-of-way line to a point where said line intersects the E as t · line of SW 1 /4 Sect i on 35 , Townsh~p 4 South , Ran g e 68 West , said point being approximately 90 feet north of the South Quarter corner of said section; thence Southwesterly along said right-ofway line o f East Hampden Avenue on t he arc of a curve to the left , the radius of which equals 783 feet , for a distance of 301 .4 f eet; thence Westerly along the North right-of-way line of East Hampden Avenue parallel to and 30 feet North of the South line of Section 35 , Township 4 South , Range 68 West , t o a poin t where the North right-of-way line of East Hampden Avenue intersects the East Line o f South Lafayette Street; thence Southerly to a point where the East line of South Lafayette Street intersects the South line of Section 35 , Township 4 South , Range 68 West; thence Weste r ly along said south line of said Section to the point of beginning, containing approximately 57.202 acres. Further , this Commission advise s the Englewood City Council that among the reasons , findings, and conclusions of the Commission leading to these recommendations are these matters: 1 . The property included in the petition of Aladdin Broadcasting Corporation consists of 57 .202 acres more or less of land currently being used , as it has been f o r many years past , for purposes o f radio broadcasting , which use was commenced p r io r t o the f irst zoning of the land , which was by resolution of the Board of County Com missioners of Arapahoe County enacted in January , 1940. The original zoning , whic h wa s p r epared and certified by the Cherry Hills District Planning Commis.sion , classified the Aladdin land for 'residential-agricultural" use , permitting single-family res i denc es on minimum lot areas of 20 ,000 square feet , but allowing alternative uses , some of whi c h we r e agricultural in nature and others of which were more intensive permitted uses. 2. Therefore , it is both appripriate and necessary, if the land area is to be annexed , t hat i t be designated and classified for a use or uses permitted pursuant to a district classification or classifications of Englewood's zoning ordinance as amended. In previous annexations of unincorporated areas east of Clarkson and West of University Boulevard which were under zoning of the Cherry Hills istrict Planning Com- mission, the action of Englewood has always been to zone the annexed areas for higher density and more intensive use , including commercial, than the uses provided by the Cherry Hills District zoning . 3. Annexation of the acreage covered by the petition would be consistent with sound principles of municipal planning in that , among other things , the action of annexation would eliminate a portion of the existing enclave made by the KLZ tract plus the land occupied by Kent School for Girls ; would extend the existing boundaries of the City o f Englewood along a uniform line of Hampden Avenue ; and t he land area itself can best be supplied with municipal services by Englewood. 4 . Since its original zoning as a part of unincorporated Arapahoe County , the subject land has been substantially affected by social , political and governmental changes and actions , changing the character of the site and its surroundings from rural to urbanized. Among these substantial changes are: construction by Kent School for Girls of its f acilities on approximately 28 acres abutting the subject land on the east ; the "build- ing-up" of the land to the north and northeast; annexation o f all these tracts either b y Eng lewoodor the City and County of Denver; the building -up of the land to the west and the northwest o f the subject land , and the annexation of thest tracts by Englewood; widening and reconstruction of Hampden Avenue into a major east-west arterial six-lane express way; and commercial type zoning by Cherry Hills Village of approximately 73 acres o f land in the village south and southeast of the intersection of Hampden Avenue and University Boulevard . Page 564 ,"{ In addition, of course, annexation to Englewood .also is a major change justifying a reconsideration of the zoning classification, with a view to determining the most ap- propriate use of such land as a part of the City of Englewood and in relation to the , general planning of this municipality. 5. Consideration of all of the materials, pro and con, before this Commission sustains the conclusion that the subject land has unusual and peculiar suitability for development and use as a regional shopping center under the classification C-3 of the zoning ordinance of Englewood as amended, (which is identical with that requested in the annexation petition) particularly when the subject land is compared with parcels held now in single ownership within the present confines of the City of Englewood or reasonably capable of being assembled for such use in this municipality. This Commi s sion's conclusions on all of its studies and review are that it is adequately demonstrated that the public necessity and public convenience, the general welfare of the inhabitants of this municipality and adjacent and surrounding areas, and the objectives of the zoning ordinance of the City of Englewood all justify the recom- mended action of the Council to zone the subject land under the use classification "C-3" and that such action: (a) Would be in aid and support of the zoning plan and system of the City of Englewood, tending to accomplish a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development of this municipality and its environs; (b) would be in accordance with present and future needs and tend best to promote the hea ~th, safety, orderly comfort and convenience and the public safety a n d welfare of the citizens of Englewood; and (c) would be oriented toward efficiency and economy for the operation of this city, providing adequately for the movement and control of traffic, the pro- tection of persons and property against damage from fire, flood, and other dangers. 6. This Commission has deemed it appropriate and necessary to consider the prob a ble effects of regional shopping center use of the subject land upon the areas immediately adjacent to the land and those nearby. In doing so, the Commission has weighe d the possibility of injur y or damage, if any, which might by reason of use of the KLZ land result to adjacent and nearby areas, against the desirability, comfort, and public convenience which might result and accrue to the inhabitants of this municipality and the community as a whole. This Commission has also conside.red most seriously the written and oral statements furnished from outside sources from time to time prior to and during the public hearing of May 11 by neighboring Englewood residents, and others, who suggest or assert that having built or purchased homes nearby justifies their opposition to the changing of the zoning of the subject land to any other permitted uses than residential. However, I the Commission mus t recognize that such a restrictive theory as to action by any municipality I on zoning requests and problems i s inconsistent with and untenable under sound planning principles, because the logical result of such an approach to zoping would be to make zoning a fixed and static thing, arbitrary or unreasonable in a changing economy and society, which always brings increasing complexities which alter the "most appropriate uses" of land. 7. The c ~3 provisions of Englewood's zoning ordinance have requirements and restrictions which will be safeguards to provide esthetic and functional _ protection for the properties immediately adjacent to and nearby the subject land areas. These restrictions and con- trols are reasonably calculated to minimize damaging effects, if any, which would, in the absence thereof, result to such adjacent and nearby properties. The Commission recognizes that esthetic consideration enters into the matter of its study as an auxiliary consideration, but deems it evident that with appropriate controls as to new construction and use of open areas, the subject land can be rendered more compatible with the residential areas which partially adjoin its boundaries than the subject land is now, with its present buildings and the steel radio transmitter towers. Discussion followed. Roll call: Hill, naye; Marti~ aye; Miles, aye; Pershing, aye; Rice, aye; Kelley, aye. II. The minutes of the May 11th meeting were approved as presented. III. M-3 Planning Office #42-60E Mr. Munns reviewed the M-3 Ordinan ce, and recommended that the area bounded on the North by Iliff, the East by Pecos, the South by Harvard, and the West by Tejon be rezoned from M-2 to M-3 in order that the auto-wrecking yards might be confined within that one area. Hill moved: Martin seconded: That the area be posted, and the notice published for a hearing on the change of zoning from M-2 to M-3 on the 22nd of June. Hill, aye; Kelley, aye; Martin, aye; Miles, aye; Pershing, aye; Rice, aye. ¥otion carried. I I I Page 565 IV.
