CITY OF ENGLEWOOD PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MAY 19, 1970 The regular meeting of the City Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order at 8:05 P.M. by Chairman Carlson. Members present: Woods; Walsh; Senti; Lentsch; Carlson Romans, Ex-officio Members absent: Lone Also present: City Attorney Berardini II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES.

The motion carried unanimously. III. R. G. CUMMINGS Lo ts 5, 6 , 7 , 8 Block 1, Bell .Isle Gardens Second Filing REZONING R-4 to I-1 CASE #12-68 Mr. Carlson stated that a Public Hearing has been called for the purpose of considering the application to rezone the property at the northwest corner of West Thomas Avenue and the Beverly Drive intersection. The property is presently zoned R-4 (Residential-Professional) and the request is for I-1 (Light Industrial) zoning. Woods moved: Senti seconded: The Public Hearing be opened. The motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Romans stated that the property has been posted the required length of time, and that public notice was in the official City newspaper, the Englewood Herald, on April 30, 1970. Mrs. Romans then indicated the area on the official zoning map and reviewed the R-4 (Resi- dential /Professional) Zone District restrictions, which will permit single and two-family residential uses on 50 ft. frontage, while office buildings, parking lots, public buildings, educational institutions and religious institutions are required to have a minimum of 100 ft. frontage. Mrs. Romans pointed out that non-residential uses are required to screen their property to shield that use from adjoining residential property owners. Mrs. Romans also noted the zoning on property which abuts the site. ·To the south, the land is in the City of Englewood and is zoned I-1, (Light Industrial). In Arapahoe County, there is R-3 (Single-family Residential) zoning to the north and east of the site; light industry ad- joining the property on the west, and across Pecos Street there is heavy industrial zoning. Mrs. Romans then gave a resume' of permitted uses in the I-1 (Light Industrial) Zone District in the City of Englewood. Mrs. Romans noted that the height in this industrial district was controlled by the "Gross floor area" in that the gross floor area could not exceed two times the lot area. She noted that again, screening is required when an industrial development abuts or adjoins a residential zone district. Off-street parking is also required. Mrs. Romans also reviewed the limitations on "external effects" which govern industrial uses, such as limitations on soot, vibrations, odors, noise, glare, etc. I I I
