IV. STUDY SESSION
Unified Development Code
Chapter 16-2: Development Review & Approval Procedures
Ms. Langon distributed a chart describing the policy changes to Chapter 16-2 . She received
the revised Chapter the evening before packets were sent out and is aware that there are a
number of formatting issues to be corrected. She asked the Commission for their
comments.
The Commission went through Chapter 16-2 page by page identifying grammatical,
spelling, consistency, and formatting errors. To be consistent, Mr. Welker stated the lapsing
period for a PUD and TSA is 3 y ears , but the lapsing period for an Overall Conceptual Plan
is 5 y ears . He believes both lapsing periods should be the same number of years. Ms.
Langon stated it was originall y 10 y ears and that Overall Conceptual Plans can take longer
than PUDs or TSAs to develop .
Mr. Roth suggested adding a section were the acronyms are identified. Ms. Mueller
agreed . Ms. Langon stated it could be included in Chapter 1 or within the definition
chapter.
Mr. Waggoner pointed out that on page 28 there is a reference to 16-2-9-H which does not
exist.
Mr. Adams stated any reference to "Colorado State Highway Department" should be
changed to Colorado Department of Transportation.
Ms . Langon stated she found a gap in the annexation section ; no procedures were written.
Discussion ensued regarding the timeframe for continued public hearings. The Commission
agreed it should read " ... shall be within forty ( 40 ) days of the date on which the
continuation is initiated or to a date certain."
Ms. Krieger asked if the three acre requirement for a TSA was feasible for the Oxford
Station. Ms. Langon stated she would discuss the issue with Mr. Graham and seek his input
on the issue .

Mr. Welker asked that the Chapter distinguish between Zoning Site Plans and Building Site
Plans to avoid confusion.
Ms. Reid asked whether or not the Commission felt the document addressed the big
picture. The Commission agreed that it did. Mr. Welker stated it is very well organized.
Ms. Langon stated the goal is to provide an applicant with a complete packet of
information, including a flow chart, explaining the process and documentation that is
required.
Mr. Roth noted that the Englewood Urban Renewal Authority was not included in the
procedures for Boards and Commissions. Ms. Reid stated the Authority is a quasi-
governmental agency and is governed by State statutes. Mr. Roth also questioned the
Board of Adjustment's authority to appeal any City employee's decision. Ms. Reid stated
that has been revised.
Ms. Langon reviewed the chart outlining the policy changes. She stated that at the next
meeting the Chapter which describes the specific uses allowed in each zone district will be
reviewed.
