Mr. Venard stated that the notice of the Public Hearing for the proposed
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance was published in the official City newspaper
on January 30, 1985. He noted that no Public was in attendance.
Dorothy A. Romans, 3600 South Bannock Street, the Assistant Director of
Conununity Development in the Planning Division was sworn in for testimony.
She entered into the record a copy of the proposed Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance, a document identified as "Proposed Title XVI" which gives a
sununary of the proposed changes, and a document titled "Proposed Amendments to
the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Title XVI of the Englewood Municipal Code."
She noted that the copy of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance entered into the
record is a complete Ordinance, including sections already adopted: R-3, B-1,
B-2, South Broadway Incentive Area, Design Guidelines, I-1, and the Planned
Development. It also includes sections already considered by the Planning
Commission, but not considered by the City Council: R-1-A, R-1-B, R-1-C, R-2,
R-2-C, R-2-C S.P.S., R-4, and I-2.
Mr. Allen asked if the document was ready to go to City Council. Mrs. Romans
said that upon approval by the Planning Commission, it will be referred to
the Council, and Council will have to hold a Public Hearing on the Ordinance.
Mr. Beier asked where rooming and boarding houses are permitted. Mrs. Romans
said they would be permitted in two-family areas. He asked about the difficulty
of enforcing the laws against junk. Mrs. Romans said that this has been a
problem, and the Code Enforcement Officer had urged the inclusion of a new
section which has been proposed as Section 16.4-1, Restrictions, which will,
it is hoped, be an aid to enforcement. Mr. Beier asked if the people in
Cinderella Gity were aware of the new requirements for the provision of areas in
which to store snow removed from parking lots, rather than in the required
parking spaces. Mrs. Romans said that this provision would apply to new
development.
Mr. Beier noted the existence of an auto repair at 3291 South Cherokee which
moves over onto the parking lot. Mrs. Romans said she would refer this com-
plaint to the Code Enforcement Officer.
Mr. Venard asked if the Officers respond only to complaints or if they do
inspections themselves. Mrs. Romans said the Inspectors cover their
territory every two weeks, and also respond to complaints.
Mr. Venard suggested that, in view of the problems connected with the parking
for the Conditional Use which was considered at the previous meeting, a
clause permitting some flexibility to the Conunission be added to the Ordinance.
Mrs. Romans stated that this had been done in Section 16.5-21 e (4).
The Conunissioners acknowledged the many hours of work which Mrs. Romans and
Mr. DeWitt had given to the development of the Ordinance. Mrs. Romans
acknowledged the contributions of the entire staff.
v. PUBLIC FORUM. None.
VI. DIRECTOR'S CHOICE.
Mr. Vargas noted that Mrs. Romans would receive her pin for 30 years of service
to the City on the 21st of February. He stated that City Council approved the
Campden Place P.U.D.
