AUDIENCE: Mr. Rice asked if any members of the audience had questions they wished to discuss with the Commission. Mr. Martin Deuth asked if the proposed Ordinance and Map was a supplement to the present Ordinance and Map; if it was an amendment to the present Ordinance and Map; or if it repealed and replaced tne present Ordinance and Map. Mr. Rice stated the proposed Ordinance and Map repealed and replaced the present Ordinance and Map. He further stated that most changes in the proposed Ordinance were minor, yet were very technical. Since the present 1955 Ordinance was adopted, Englewood has become a Home Rule City, and as such, must assume the responsibilities of a Home Rule City operating under a Charter. Suggested chang es made by the Commission, the Board of Adjustment and Appeals and others have been incorporated into the Ordinance. Detailed Land Use sTudies were used in the preparation of the proposed Comprehensive Zoning Map. Mr. Deuth asked if separate Hearings would be held on any areas that might be changed. Mr. Rice stated the Hearing would be on the Comprehensive Ordinance and Map as a ~hole. V. OLD BUSINESS: Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and Map Case #30-62L The Planning Director stated that several changes had been suggested by Mr. Touchton upon his review of the Ordinance, and she felt there was considerable merit to a number of them. For instance, the order of restriction in all Zone Districts but the business zones are that the zone "-1" is the most restrictive, etc. In the business classifications, B-3 is the most restrictive. It was suggested the Shopping Center classification be "B-1"; the Central Business District be "B-2"; and the General Business District be "B-3"; to conform with other district designations. This was discussed and it was suggested that it be further discussed at the Public Hearing. Another point of discussion was the inclusion of Hospitals and Sanitariums under "standards" instead of placing the restrictions to be met under "requirements". Also, the parking pro- visions originally included in the T-Zone had been omitted from the proposed R-4. It was suggested that this provision be included as a Conditional Use in the R-4 Zone District classi- fication. Several additional sections were discussed. The Planning Director was advised to ask the City Attorney's opinion on these matters, and have them clarified for further discussion at the Hearing on May 23 , 1963. I I I I I I Page 705 VI.

Hill moved: Touchton seconded: The minutes of May 9, 1963 be approved as presented. The motion carried unanimously. III. OLD BUSINESS A. Alley Vacation Englewood Methodist Church Case #3-63B Mr. Rice stated the proposed alley vacation in the 3800 block of the Broadway-Acoma alley had been tabled at the April 18th meeting to enable the Church representatives to work out problems posed by the proposed vacation with the City Engineer and Public Service Company of Colorado. Miles moved: Love seconded: The matter be raised from the table. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Malone, attorney for the Church, stated the original request had been for the vacation of the south 232 feet of the existing alley. The Church would then dedicate a new alley from Acoma east to the existing alley. Objections to this proposal were received, and an amended plan was submitted, whereby the proposed alley from Acoma was moved north 50 feet. All problems with the Public Service Company had been settled; the City Engineer's Office had been concerned with the existing sewer in the alley, as it was not feasible to move the sewer line. The Church has agreed to enclose the sewer line in cast iron pipe with a manhole at either end; and to pave the proposed alley with concrete. The legal description of the proposed vacation and new dedication are to be prepared by the Engineer's Office. Discussion ensued. Love moved: Kreiling seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council that the proposed partial vacation of the alley in the 3800 block of South Broadway - South Acoma be favorably considered. The motion carried unanimously. IV. NEW BUSINESS A. Alley Vacation Case #7-63 3500 Lincoln-Sherman Alley The following memo from the City Engineer was read:
