CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the City Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order at 7:05 p.m. in the City Council Chambers of the Englewood Civic Center. Chair Krieger presiding. Present: Absent: Staff: Bleile, Brick, Diekmeier, Krieger, Roth, Welker Laga (Alternate) Hunt, Knoth, Mosteller (Excused) Tricia Langon, Senior Planner Nancy Reid , Assistant City Attorney II. CASE #ADM2005-00009 Craig Hospital 3401 South Emerson Street Ms. Langon stated the case is the mandatory review of Craig Hospital 's interim parking plan as conditioned by the Commission in 2002 in Case #PA2002-01 . The interim parking plan was a result in changes to Craig Hospital 's future parking plans . The plan that was approved in 2002 delayed the construction of a six-story parking structure which was approved in the Craig Hospital Planned Unit Development (PUD) earlier in 2001 . The plan provided 254 spaces of the 401 which were approved in the PUD. One forty-five of those spaces were provided off-site in a parking agreement with Swedish Medical Center. Craig Hospital is present to discuss the extension of the 2002 parking plan to continue the 145 spaces through their agreement with Swedish Medical Center as outlined in Mr. O'Malley's letter included in the Commission 's packet. Mr. O'Malley is present to address any questions the Commission may have . Staff recommends that the interim parking plan be continued based on the fact that parking requirements for both Swedish and Craig Hospital have not changed in the past three yea rs and the parking conditions have not changed in the past three years. Extending the parking plan does not affect the parking as it currently exists for either Craig Hospital or Swedish Medical Center. The parking plan maintains the flexibility that Craig Hospital would like to maintain based on their needs for whether they continue with the PUD and build the parking garage as they originall y indicated on their plan or develop another parking scenario to meet the PUD requirements . The Commission could require Craig Hospital to amend the PUD if they do not intend to build the parking structure. However, since the amendment process is exactly the same as - • • the PUD application and is a six-month process that would remove the flexibility opportunity which Craig Hospital is seeking. Staff recommends that the Commission continue the interim parking plan with the conditions the Commission review the parking plan if: 1. There are any changes to the parking conditions with either Craig Hospital or Swedish Medical Center; or 2. The parking agreement between Craig Hospital and Swedish Medical Center for the 145 spaces at the Emerson and Old Hampden lot is terminated. Further, if there are any changes in the parking plan that affect the parking the City be notified of those conditions and if the current parking agreement, which expires December 2006, is renewed, the City receive a new, updated parking agreement. Ms . Langon stated she would answer any procedural questions, and Mr. O 'Malley of Craig Hospital is available to answer an y questions regarding the parking agreement. Mr. Roth clarified the interim parking plan would b e extended indefinitely. Ms. Langon stated that was correct; the parking plan is identical to w hat was before the Commission in 2002 without the three y ear timeframe. It will have the condition that if something changes or the agreement is not continued that it moves forward with something else . Mr. Diekmeier asked his fellow members if they wanted a periodic review even if nothing changed , and if so when they wanted to look at it. Chair Krieger stated the reason the Commission originally put a timeframe on it was because Craig Hospital had an agreement with Swedish Hospital which ended in 2006. Craig Hospital felt it would take approximatel y 18 months to build a parking garage; the Commission wanted to look at their parking plan prior to that time to determine if the parking pl an was working and whether or not Craig Hospital was in fact going to build the garage or whether they felt the parking plan was working out. Chair Krieger stated that didn 't mean the Commission needed to continue reviewing the plan in the future. Mr. Roth moved; Mr. Welker seconded: - THAT IN CASE #ADM2005-00009, THE CRAIG HOSPITAL INTERIM PARKING PLAN , BASED ON THE PARKING AGREEMENT BETWEEN CRAIG HOSPITAL AND SWEDISH MEDICAL CENTER, BE EXTENDED WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. MANDATORY REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF THE INTERIM PARKING PLAN SHALL BE REQUIRED WHENEVER : a. A CHANGE IN PARKING CONDITIONS RESULTS IN INCREASED PARKING NEEDS , • • FOR EITHER CRAIG HOSPITAL OR SWEDISH MEDICAL CENTER ; OR b.
