PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The city has authorized and received funding from OEDIT to support enterprise zone administrative expenses annually since 2015. SUMMARY: The city receives an annual grant from OEDIT to fund expenses related to the administration of the South Metro Enterprise Zone The enterprise zone is a key element of the city's economic development program as indicated by approximately 100 Englewood businesses claiming valuable State of Colorado tax credits annually. As part of this year's redesignation process, city staff is working closely with Arapahoe County to identify a new zone administrator beginning in 2026. This transition will ensure effective management of the program as responsibilities expand across the region. ANALYSIS: Englewood currently administers the South Metro Enterprise Zone, which includes all of Englewood and portions of Littleton, Sheridan and the Town of Parker. The city's administration of the enterprise zone includes annual reporting and ongoing approvals of submissions, data input, marketing and outreach associated with the enterprise zone within Englewood. Englewood economic development staff promotes the enterprise zone exclusively in the community. Enterprise zone promotion outside of Englewood is the responsibility the cities of Sheridan, Parker, and Littleton. Englewood does not receive compensation from Sheridan, Parker or Littleton for enterprise zone administrative activities. The annual enterprise zone administrative grant supports staff time for Community Development staff members Nancy Page 43 of 259 Fenton, the South Metro Enterprise Zone administrator and Darren Hollingsworth, Economic Development Manager. In 2024, the state reimbursed the City of Englewood $18,423 for staff time associated with the administration and promotion of the South Metro Enterprise Zone, and $500 for travel expenses related to attending the enterprise zone annual meeting. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends city council approve a Bill for an Ordinance accepting South Metro Enterprise Zone - Administrative Grant POGG1, EDAA, 202500001116 in the amount of $18,923. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The grant requires that the city provide an in-kind match in the form of staff time and overhead. This match is included in Community Development's 2025 budget and will not be an additional expense to the city. CONNECTION TO STRATEGIC PLAN: To initiate business retention, revitalization and economic growth strategies and leverage city resources through grant funding. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Bill for an Ordinance 2.

Page 52 of 259 COUNCIL COMMUNICATION TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Pieter Van Ry, Sarah Stone DEPARTMENT: Utilities DATE: April 21, 2025 SUBJECT: CB 23 - Amend Englewood Municipal Code Regarding Extraterritorial Water Service and Lead Service Line Replacement DESCRIPTION: Consideration of a Council Bill to amend Englewood Municipal Code (City Code) regarding extraterritorial water service and lead service line replacement. RECOMMENDATION: Utilities staff recommends City Council approve amendments to Title 12, Chapter 1, Article C to clarify standards and establish requirements for extraterritorial water service. The Water and Sewer Board recommended Council approve the City Code amendments during its April 8, 2025, meeting. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. SUMMARY: Utilities staff is revising the City Code to refine ownership language for extraterritorial water service lines, clarify connection standards, and establish requirements for replacing lead and galvanized steel service lines. The proposed amendments to the City Code will align extraterritorial service line requirements with those for in-city customers, ensuring consistency and proactive compliance with federal regulations. ANALYSIS: In 2024, the City of Englewood (City) Utilities Department (Utilities) launched the Lead Reduction Program (LRP) to remove all lead and galvanized steel service lines from the City’s distribution system, reducing potential lead exposure and improving water system safety. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) require public water systems to inventory service line materials, and the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) mandate that all lead service lines be identified and replaced by 2037. This includes extraterritorial water customers outside Englewood city limits who receive service from Englewood Utilities. The proposed amendments to the City Code will align extraterritorial service line requirements with those for in-city customers, ensuring consistency and proactive compliance with federal regulations. Specifically, these amendments will clarify service line ownership responsibilities and establish replacement requirements, supporting the City’s efforts to meet the LCRR and future LCRI mandates. The updates apply to City Code Sections 12-1C-2 and 12-1C-4. Page 53 of 259 Utilities staff recommends amending these City Code Sections to clarify ownership responsibilities for water service lines and align replacement procedures for extraterritorial customers with those already in place for in-city customers. Since July 2024, previously adopted City Code amendments have enabled the Lead Reduction Program to successfully replace over 770 lead or galvanized steel service lines within City limits. Given the LCRI’s expanded requirements, all water utilities are expected to remove lead and galvanized service lines in the coming years. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion for City Council to approve, by Ordinance, the amendments to Englewood’s Municipal Code Title 12, Chapter 1, Article C to clarify standards and establish requirements for extraterritorial water service. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The proposed amendments to the City’s Municipal Code do not have direct financial implications for the Water Enterprise Fund. CONNECTION TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Safety:  Ensure safe drinking water is delivered to customers that meet State and Federal Regulations  Protect public health Infrastructure & Sustainability:  A city that stewards its resources for the benefit of current and future generations  Proactively and in a cost-effective manner invests, maintains, improves, and plans to protect water infrastructure OUTREACH/COMMUNICATIONS: The Lead Reduction Program's communications and outreach efforts, which began in 2022, focus on educating residents through direct mail, community meetings, online resources, and customer support, ensuring transparency and engagement in replacing lead service lines; more information can be found at www.englewoodco.gov/lead-reduction-program.

RECOMMENDATION: Utilities staff recommends City Council approve an amendment to Title 12, Chapter 1, Article B- 11, which currently references a repealed code section. This revision will ensure users can locate the correct information in the City of Englewood’s (City) Fee and Rate Schedule. The Water and Sewer Board recommended Council approve the City Code amendment during its April 8, 2025, meeting. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. SUMMARY: The City Council has directed a comprehensive review of the City Code to correct errors, remove obsolete provisions, and ensure consistency with current practices and laws. As part of this effort, staff identified an outdated reference in Section 12-1B-11 directing readers to EMC 11-3C-3, which no longer exists. The proposed update will instead direct users to the City’s Fee and Rate Schedule, ensuring they can easily find the applicable charges for street cutting services related to service pipeline installations. ANALYSIS: Utilities staff recommends amending City Code, Section 12-1B-11, to remove an outdated reference. By removing the reference to a repealed code section and directing users to the Fee and Rate Schedule, the City ensures that charges for street cutting services remain clear and accessible. This revision aligns with the City Council’s broader initiative to modernize the City Code and enhance usability.

If approved, staff will submit an application to the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office. RECOMMENDATION: The Englewood Historic Preservation Commission and Community Development Department recommend that the Engewood City Council adopt an ordinance authorizing the City of Englewood to submit an application to the State of Colorado Historic Preservation Office to become a Certified Local Government (CLG), and authorizing the execution of an agreement for CLG status. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Community Development staff, along with a member of the Englewood Historic Preservation Commission and a representative from the State Historic Preservation Society, presented information regarding certified local governments and the potential benefits of a CLG designation for both residents and the city during a study session on February 10, 2025. Council directed staff and the city attorney's office to draft and submit legislation for council consideration. SUMMARY: Achieving CLG status would enable property owners to obtain additional benefits through the landmark designation of eligible historic properties. Two of the steps related for designation of Englewood as a CLG were completed when the Englewood Historic Preservation Commission was established in 2017 and the historic preservation ordinance was adopted by council in 2023. If the ordinance is approved, staff will submit the Request for CLG Status to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for review and approval. Upon approval by the SHPO, the city will enter into a Local Government Certification Agreement with the State Historic Preservation Officer (see attached) to officially be recognized as a CLG. ANALYSIS: Certified Local Governments, or CLGs, are Colorado municipalities and counties that have demonstrated a commitment to local preservation and saving the past for future generations. The CLG program was initially federally mandated as a component of the National Historic Page 74 of 259 Preservation Act of 1966 and it is administered by the National Park Service (NPS). There are currently 2,100 CLGs registered nationwide. The City of Englewood's Historic Preservation Commission reviews historic landmark applications and makes recommendations to council on whether a property should be granted landmark status. There are currently limited benefits for a property owner to complete the landmark process since there are no additional benefits available, aside from being designated as historic and the preservation of existing structures. If Englewood is designated as a CLG, additional opportunities for commercial and residential property owners to potentially receive tax credits for renovation projects will be possible and the city could pursue historic preservation grants that do not have local fund-matching requirements. The first steps for Englewood to become eligible for CLG status are to create a historic preservation commission (completed in 2017) and establish a local preservation ordinance (adopted in 2023). The next step is for the city council to authorize Englewood to become a CLG through an ordinance. If the proposed ordinance is adopted by council, the next step will be for city staff to submit a completed "Request for CLG Status" to SHPO for review and approval (the request form is included in the attachments). Once approved, the city and SHPO will sign a local government certification agreement indicating the city's intent to maintain a preservation commission, maintain an inventory of historic landmarks, and provide an annual report to SHPO outlining historic preservation activities. A draft certification agreement is also included in the attachments. Finally, a current directory of Colorado CLGs is provided in the attachments. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: The Englewood Historic Preservation Commission and the Community Development Department are requesting that council approve the proposed ordinance for the city to become a CLG and, once the request for CLG status has been approved by SHPO, finalize the required local government agreement. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no adverse financial implications associated with the City of Englewood becoming a CLG. The CLG status provides access to both state and National Park Service (NPS) grants that do not have fund-matching requirements. CLG status also enables commercial and residential property owners who have been granted Historic Landmark status to apply for improvement grants. Certification also makes properties eligible for potential state tax credits. CONNECTION TO STRATEGIC PLAN: The preservation of eligible historic properties would address the following portion of the Community Wellbeing outcome area of the strategic plan:  Neighborhood Aesthetics - Promote and encourage beautification, cleanliness, and code compliance in the neighborhoods.

It includes guidelines for accessibility, public and private open space, patios, activation, parking and trash. • Guidelines for Existing and New Buildings – this section applies to all buildings - old and new. Any projects that include a change in building use or changes to the exterior of an existing building (including additions) as well as any development that includes new structures shall apply. Intent The South Broadway Design Guidelines are intended to assist in implementing the vision for South Broadway as identified in the city’s Comprehensive Plan, Downtown Plan, and South Broadway Public Realm Action Plan. This document aims to guide new investment in a way that aligns with the future vision while maintaining the traditional scale and character of the district. This vision includes enhancing the Downtown District by: • Reinforcing the traditional main street character of South Broadway. • Creating a vibrant 360-degree district that is “uniquely Englewood”. • Creating a district that is walkable, inclusive, safe and welcoming to all. Applicability These guidelines apply to any proposed project in the area identified in Exhibit A (Eastman Ave. to Little Dry Creek and Acoma to Lincoln Streets) that include: • Changes to a site, such as adding out- door dining or open space, enhancing streetscape, or modifying parking; • Changes to an existing building, such as exterior upgrades, additions, or a change of use; and/or • Redeveloping an existing lot with a new structure(s). The guidelines were funded by the Englewood Downtown Development Authority (EDDA) as part of the 2025 South Broadway Public Realm Action Plan. A partnership between the EDDA and the City of Englewood was formed to execute the design guidelines. See “Compliance and Process” on pages 4-6 for more information. 1 Introduction & Intent Page 150 of 259 2 South Broadway Design Guidelines E. Girard Ave. E. Floyd Ave. E. Eastman Ave. E.

Page 152 of 259 4 South Broadway Design Guidelines Compliance and Process Each applicable project in the South Broadway Design Guidelines Area (see Exhibit A) must comply with the design guidelines that apply to each project. Compliance will be reviewed and determined by Plan Review staff in Community Development in concert with other required development applications before final approval of a project to apply for necessary permits. A general outline of the process includes: STEP 1: PRE-APPLICATION MEETING WITH DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TEAM Prior to submitting a formal development proposal, applicants are encouraged to meet with the Development Review Team which is a free service provided by the City of Englewood that allows applicants to meet with staff from a variety of departments to present their conceptual project, ask questions, and receive feedback. At this step in the process, the Design Guidelines will be given to the applicant and they will be encouraged to meet with the EDDA for more information about projects occuring around their site and for potential funding that may be available. STEP 2: SUBMIT APPLICATION FOR REVIEW Required application(s) are then submitted to the city. Required development checklists are located on the city website. In addition to required development checklists, the applicant shall also submit a South Broadway Design Guidelines checklist to ensure the applicant has reviewed and complies with the guidelines herein. Staff will provide consolidated comments back to applicant within the required timeframe with regards to any desired changes to the project to better adhere to the design guidelines. STEP 3: REVIEW AND APPROVAL Applicants will then go through the city’s review and approval process before issuing building or other necessary permits. Timing and process will depend on the scope of a project. STEP 4: PERMITS AND CONSTRUCTION Once an application is approved and all necessary requirements have been met, permits will be issued and construction on the project may begin. Which Guidelines Apply? Which guidelines apply depends on a particular project. In general, a project only needs to follow the guidelines that are applicable - i.e. if a project does not include public art or modifications to parking, they may skip sections 4.5 and 4.6. A list of common anticipated projects and which guidelines apply are listed below for reference. PROJECT TYPE 1: OUTDOOR PATIO ONLY • 4.1.C + 4.2.A + 4.3 (whichever applies) +4.4 (if patio is located along alley or paseo) PROJECT TYPE 2: FACADE IMPROVEMENTS ONLY • 4.1 + 4.3/4.4 (If applicable) + 5.1 + 5.2 + 5.4 PROJECT TYPE 3: MAJOR RENOVATION OF EXISTING PROPERTY (BUILDING + SITE) • Same as above + 4.5 PROJECT TYPE 4: CHANGE OF USE (INTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS ONLY) • Guidelines do not apply unless applicable as part of the change of use requirements.

Now known as the “Father of Englewood”, Thomas Skerritt is said to have plowed the road to get to Denver faster to sell his produce in the 1860s. By the 1880s, settlements from the Gold Rush were established and Denver began to grow to the south. The original settlement around South Broadway was known as Orchard Place. Citizens voted in 1903 to incorporate the new town as Englewood, which means “wooded nook” after the abundance of trees and orchards. A map from 1919 shows how development in Englewood originated along South Broadway on what is now the 3500, 3400, and 3300 blocks. Tuileries Garden, a large amusement park modeled after Coney Island in Kansas City and named after La Tuileries Gardens in Paris, was located on the west side of South Broadway in the early years. The amusement park operated from 1906-1913. The archway shown here was modeled after the Arch d’Triumph and was located just north of Hampden Avenue (#15 on map.) Above: 1919 map of Englewood. Left: Tuileries Garden entrance archway modeled after the Arch d’Triumph in Paris.

Key structures are noted on Exhibit B. More information on these buildings and their history can be found by searching “Englewood, CO Downtown History Tour.” These buildings are considered notable to the history of South Broadway. There is not currently a designated historic district for the area, but three buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places: • Englewood I.O.O.F. Lodge No. 138 • Englewood Post Office • Key Savings and Loan Association Building (aka “flying saucer”) The Gothic Theatre was built in 1929 in an Art Deco style. It has been modified overtime but continues to serve the community as an entertainment destination. The Englewood Post Office was built in 1938 in a Colonial Revival style. It still serves the community in its original use as a post office. The “Flying Saucer Bank” was designed by Charles Deaton and completed in 1967. It still serves the community in its original use. The Englewood International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) Lodge was built in 1928. 3299 S. Broadway was built in 1919 as Miller’s Supermarket. Page 158 of 259 10 South Broadway Design Guidelines South Broadway “Main Street” Characteristics New projects should seek to emulate the traditional “main street” character of South Broadway. These characteristics include: • There is no particular architectural style. Some of the stand alone build- ings like the Post Office, The Gothic, and the Charles Deaton Bank are out- liers. The rest of buildings on South Broadway tend to be simple one to two-story “main street” buildings built to the property line on the front and sides with a rear setback to allow for parking. • Brick is a common material. Brick de- tailing is apparent, but not too ornate, accentuating elements like roofline, windows, storefront bays, and signage locations. Most original brick has been painted, though there are some build- ings that still display their original red brick. • Building heights vary, but most are one to two stories and less than 35- feet in height. The beginning and ends of different buildings can be seen along the street by their building heights be- ing slightly differentiated. This building displays common “main street” characteristics, such as simple form, storefronts on the ground floor and individual windows on the upper floor, and modest brick detailing. Some original brick buildings have been painted and some also include artistic murals like 3398 S. Broadway. Awnings are also common, as shown here. Building heights vary (as seen in the red dashed line above), but most are one to two stories and less than 35-feet in height. Page 159 of 259 11South Broadway Design Guidelines • Buildings widths range from 12.5-feet to 100-feet for traditional buildings which offers a diversity of storefronts and retail business opportunities. • Buildings include storefronts with active uses on the ground floor. Most storefronts include a kickplate and transom windows. • Buildings are typically built to the property line, and most entrances are recessed. • North-south alleys that parallel South Broadway are typical. The only devia- tions are on the King Soopers lot and 3200 block where the Century Link building is located that blocks the alley. The 3400 block alleys are often used as pedestrian passageways as they con- nect to public parking lots. • The 3400 mid-block paseos are a unique characteristic that allows for permeability within the long block and provides greater pedestrian access to the district and opportunities to gather. The 3400 Block mid-block paseos are a unique characteristic that allow for pedestrian access and gathering space. The north-south alleys that parallel Broadway are typical. The 3400 Block alleys are often used as pedestrian passageways as they connect to public parking lots. Some storefronts are as narrow as 12.5’ wide and most have recessed entrances to provide more space for entering a building. Page 160 of 259 12 South Broadway Design Guidelines South Broadway Today South Broadway has seen a resurgence of economic activity in recent years. Redevelopment of the Cinderella City shopping center in the early 2000s brought new residents and commuters to the area and additional pending redevelopment will add to the local customer base, along with expansions of two major medical centers and nearby multifamily residential development. New Millennial and Baby Boomer residents, a business-friendly culture and attainable rents are attracting new commercial investment along South Broadway. This area is served by regional bus, light rail, and BERT - Englewood’s microtransit service - connecting commuters from the light rail station to other downtown destinations. New residents have increased the local customer base. Special events help build South Broadway’s identity as a destination. Small, local businesses are the heart and soul of South Broadway. Page 161 of 259 13South Broadway Design Guidelines 3 South Broadway’s Future Vision Future Vision The 2017 Englewood Comprehensive Plan imagined South Broadway as an “emerging node” around the Gothic Theater with a primary focus of local and independent businesses that is walkable and includes a critical mass of residents to support the retail and entertainment district. It also recommended the creation of a special financing district to support revitalization efforts. In 2021, the Englewood Downtown Plan and the Englewood Downtown Development Authority (EDDA) were established to further this vision. South Broadway is one of three subareas that the EDDA focuses on. Key recommendations to achieve the vision include: • Maintaining South Broadway’s authen- tic feel as a “traditional main street.” • Filling vacant storefronts, reusing exist- ing buildings, and supporting existing businesses so they can remain. • Enhancing the streetscape and make pedestrian improvements and better access to the district. • Supporting transit and multimodal op- portunities to reduce car use and park- ing needs. • Attracting high-quality, small-scale development on key sites along South Broadway that include a mix of uses and active ground floors that maintain the small-town main street character. Page 162 of 259 14 South Broadway Design Guidelines Inclusive Design Downtown Englewood is a diverse place with diverse offerings. There is a higher concentration of low-income households, seniors, and disabled community members in the area which requires unique solutions to meet the needs of all ages and abilities to enjoy downtown. Many businesses on South Broadway cater to this audience. Nearby Craig Hospital is a rehabilitation facility where patients typically have longer stays and more visits than other hospitals. It is also a major employer with multiple health and wellness supportive businesses in the area. There are several senior communities and a senior recreation facility nearby. Many residents and employees rely on public transportation and the ability to walk, bike, or roll to destinations requiring a safe and accessible pedestrian realm. Millennials and Baby Boomers also see Downtown Englewood as an opportunity to live in and nearby, as it is centrally located and offers a quality of life and walkable lifestyle attractive to families and located near daily goods, services and entertainment. Recently acquired and managed by AEG Presents, the Gothic Theatre caters to a metro-wide clientele offering live music and events. All of these elements make Downtown Englewood special. These guidelines, the Englewood Downtown Plan, updated zoning regulations, new streetscape and infrastructure improvements, public space enhancements, and transit improvements all seek to create an economically vibrant, energized, mixed use main street that is accessible to everyone. This district has a higher concentration of low-income households, seniors, and disabled community members and many businesses cater to these audiences.

(photo credit: City of Englewood) Page 163 of 259 15South Broadway Design Guidelines Design Principles The following Design Principles were created to provide a framework for future projects. They are representative of the community’s vision. Each project should include a statement for how their project meets the following principles: 1. SAFE AND WELCOMING FOR ALL • Utilize Universal Design principles to ensure that each building and public space is safe and accessible and meets the needs of people of all ages and abil- ities. • Increase safety in the district with bet- ter lighting, more “eyes on the street”, and better access to and through the district. 2. DISTINCTLY ENGLEWOOD • Include unique, authentic designs that cannot be replicated elsewhere. • Reinforce the traditional main street character and scale in new buildings with similar building heights, materials, details, and architectural features. • Save and repurpose old buildings and reveal original architectural elements when feasible. • Incorporate a site feature that nods to the history of a significant site • Incorporate small retail spaces that make room for more local businesses to reinforce and grow our local identity. 3. VIBRANT AND ACTIVE • Add new storefronts, restaurants, sig- nage, patios, plazas, or other active ground-floor uses to bring more pedes- trian life to the streets. • Include housing for new residents that will increase foot traffic in the area. • Utilize alleys as an opportunity for add- ing interest and activity to the district. 1. Safe and Welcoming for All. 2. Distinctly Englewood. 3. Vibrant and Active. Page 164 of 259 16 South Broadway Design Guidelines Future Design Considerations The following pages identify unique design opportunities and considerations for future projects. These concepts were developed and created by designers with input from the public. They are not necessarily the vision of private property owners. 3200 BLOCK ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT This concept reinforces the Comprehensive Plan’s vision to create an Entertainment District around the Gothic Theatre. Key elements include: • A mix of new and old: existing build- ings/uses, new uses in old buildings (adaptive reuse) and new uses in new buildings (redevelopment). • A mid-block crossing across South Broadway that connects with mid- block passages through each block to break up the scale and enhance con- nectivity. • Engaging and activating the alleys and reintegrating a full north-south connection through the building at 3277 S. Broadway (if relocation were to occur.) • Creating a network of interesting outdoor spaces, paseos, and patios that create an active and safe nighttime environment. • Connecting parking lots and reducing curb cuts onto public streets. • Streetscape improvements along South Broadway and in the median.

THE GOTHIC Existing Buildings with Active Uses Existing Buildings with Potential for Active Uses Development Potential to Support Entertainment District Page 165 of 259 17South Broadway Design Guidelines 3300 BLOCK ACTIVATION This concept seeks to put more activity and “eyes on the street” of the 3300 Block where there is currently a parking lot and loitering issues. Future development on this block should: • Attract uses that will draw in more activity like restaurants and retail. • Consider incorporating a publicly accessible plaza or open space, much like the paseos offer on the 3400 Block. • Consider a kiosk or design element that pays homage to the history of the site as the former Tuileries Garden Amusement Park and former site of the Anderson Industries, City Hall, and the Miracle Mile. Existing Conditions Reconfigure parking to be oriented to serve pad buildings. Provide clear and direct pedestrian connections between buildings. Reconfigure entrance with median and architectural arch feature. Activate S. Broadway frontage with small, landscaped plazas and outdoor dining areas. Page 166 of 259 18 South Broadway Design Guidelines 3400-3500 BLOCK FESTIVAL STREET AND LITTLE DRY CREEK ACTIVATION The Downtown Plan envisions beautifying and activating Little Dry Creek Plaza and West Hampden Avenue as a primary connection to the plaza. The EDDA Public Realm Action Plan envisions turning W. Hampden from South Broadway to Acoma into a “festival street” that can be used for festivals and special events in the district. New projects should seek to: • Activate Little Dry Creek and West Hampden Avenue with patios, active ground floor uses, windows, and en- trances. • Elevate the design of the public realm to encourage economic prosperity and discourage negative behavior. • Create a seamless connection be- tween the City Center, South Broadway, and Wellness District subareas. • Enhance trail access to Little Dry Creek Trail. • Encourage multimodal activity with amenities like improved bus stops and bike parking/charging.

People with mobility issues, sight and hearing impairment, neurodivergent, and other special needs should be considered when designing a project. Projects should embrace the Universal Design Principles and Six Feelings Framework when designing spaces surrounding a building. Seven Principles of Universal Design: 1 - Equitable Use - the design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities. 2 - Flexibility in Use - the design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities. 3 - Simple and Intuitive Use - use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user’s experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level. 4 - Perceptible Information - the design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambiant conditions or the user’s sensory abilities. 5 - Tolerance for Error - the design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental and unintended consequences. 6 - Low Physical Effort - the design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue. 7 - Size and Space for Approach and Use - appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use regardless of user’s body size, posture, or mobility. credit: https://universaldesign.ie/about- universal-design/the-7-principles Six Feelings Framework for Autism-Friendly Spaces: 1 - Feel Connected - the design helps users perceive ways in which to engage with their environment. 2 - Feel Free - the design provides spaces that are flexible and offers a desired spectrum of independence. 3 - Feel Clear - the space is easily understood and not confusing. 4 - Feel Private - the space offers boundaries and includes secluded and relaxing environments for sensory breaks. 5 - Feel Safe - the design diminishes the risk of someone being injured. 6 - Feel Calm - the design reduces sensory pollution of excessive noise or other sensory distractions. Page 168 of 259 20 South Broadway Design Guidelines GUIDELINES: A. Universal Building Entrances and Frontages. Design building entrances to be accessible. Approaches to building entrances should be free of obstructions and have an accessible path into the building. i Utilize push button entrances when feasible. Doors should include lever handles over knobs. ii ADA-required ramps and railings should be designed to fit in with the architectural style of the building and be permanent. iii Anything placed adjacent to a building (benches, planters, signs) should be detectable with a mobility cane and outside of the accessibility route on the sidewalk. iv Rear accessible entrances located from an alley are desired. B. Universal Signage. Site and building signage should be clear, concise, and universally accessible. i To focus on universal accessibility, keep content of signs to a minimum, use high contrast between fonts and background, and avoid too many visual details that would distract from the sign’s legibility. ii Place signage at heights so that people of all ages and abilities can read them. iii Incorporate braille on address signage, at a minimum, and other signage when possible. C. Universal Outdoor Spaces. When identifying and designing outdoor spaces on a site, consider the needs of all users and design the space to be inviting with clear rules for entry to the space. i When an outdoor space is accessed from a public right-of-way, include an accessible route to the space. ii Incorporate furnishings that are movable, when appropriate, to allow for flexibility in seating arrangements. iii Consider different “zones” for people with different sensory needs, e.g. quiet zones that feel more private/calm vs. open zones for people to hear, touch, feel, and roam. iv Consider Englewood’s climate and design outdoor spaces that are sunny in the winter and shaded in the summer, when location is controllable. v Utilize the five strategies of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) to provide defensible and safe outdoor spaces. vi Provide ample lighting for outdoor spaces and use full cutoff (light projected downward) lights to reduce light pollution. A ramp provides an accessible primary entrance and clear signage is provided. Page 169 of 259 21South Broadway Design Guidelines 4.2 Streetscape Design INTENT: Creating a consistent and inviting streetscape in the South Broadway subarea is important to reinforce Englewood’s traditional main street character and celebrate the South Broadway subarea of the Downtown District. Some improvements will be made through capital projects while other improvements will be the responsibility of the developer to provide. Reference the descriptions below to understand the intent of each street (in order of significance) in the study area. Each project should contact the City and Englewood DDA for updated information on potential capital streetscape projects before beginning a project. 1. South Broadway is categorized as an arterial and carries significant traffic, a major regional bus route (planned for future bus rapid transit), and most importantly serves as the primary retail street for Downtown Englewood. Streetscape design on South Broadway should include the highest degree of design and detail within the design guidelines study area. 2. Old Hampden is categorized as a collector (east of S. Broadway) and a local street (west of S. Broadway.) E. Hampden is undergoing a “complete streets” reconstruction in 2025 that includes underground utility upgrades, widening sidewalks, transit stop amenities, and landscaping. West Hampden is envisioned as a future “festival street” that embraces and activates Little Dry Creek. Old Hampden should serve as a secondary retail street to South Broadway. 3. Acoma and Lincoln Streets are categorized as a local streets. They are streets that parallel South Broadway and have potential to be activated by future development and private investments that could expand the vibrancy of the South Broadway district. New projects should focus on this aspect of activation and treat these streets as secondary retail streets to South Broadway with sensitivity to adjacent residential uses. 4. Englewood Parkway is categorized as a collector and is the primary route to the City Center subarea and light rail. This street should prioritize pedestrians and tree canopy. Additional above curb/ sidewalk space may be available in the future to provide more space for streetscape amenities and outdoor dining. 5. Floyd Avenue is categorized as a collector and is a major bike route for the city. Floyd has limited space above the curb. Future projects should focus on providing consistent sidewalks and adding landscaping and trees wherever feasible. 6. Eastman Avenue is categorized as a local street and should serve as a pedestrian route into the South Broadway district from adjacent residential neighborhoods. Streetscapes should include consistent sidewalks and street trees. Page 170 of 259 22 South Broadway Design Guidelines STREET CLASSIFICATIONS Arterial Collector Local Study Area E. Girard Ave. E.

Streetscape Zones. Streetscape zones are different areas within the sidewalk or above curb area of a street. These “zones” should be clearly defined through paving patterns and other elements. Maintaining an accessible route is of utmost importance. The streetscape zones include: 1. Curb zone is the space between the curb and the accessible route. This zone varies depending on the street right-of- way and curb to curb dimensions. i The curb zone should serve as a protective buffer between cars and pedestrians. ii It should include street trees, when space allows (refer to street trees guidelines.) iii When space does not allow for street trees, place other streetscape elements in the curb zone to provide a buffer (refer to table on page 23). 2. Accessible Route is the part of a sidewalk that should be free and clear of obstructions and primarily used for walking and rolling. i Maintain a minimum dimension of five feet for the accessible route. Six feet is preferred where space allows. ii The accessible route should be as straight as possible. iii The accessible route should be free and clear from any vertical obstructions. Maintain an accessible route that is free and clear of obstructions and as straight as possible. The curb zone is the space between the curb and the accessible route. Page 172 of 259 24 South Broadway Design Guidelines 3. Building Zone is the space adjacent to a building (within the right-of-way) and typically activated by the adjacent tenant. It is most typical on South Broadway as other streets are limited in space. i The placement of elements in this zone is optional and would be the responsibility of the tenant or building owner to provide (refer to guidelines for specific elements on following pages.) 4. Setback Zone is space located on private property between the right-of-way/ property line and the building face. The required setback dimensions depend on the zone district. Most existing buildings are built to the property line and do not include a setback zone, so this applies to new structures primarily. i When commercial uses are fronting the street/sidewalk, the setback zone should serve as a continuation of the streetscape and appear more public than private. ii When residential uses are fronting the street/sidewalk, this area should be used as a transition from public to private. It may include entrances or private open space such as a private stoop, porch, or balcony. Landscape elements are more appropriate in this context to provide privacy for residences on the ground floor. The building zone may include elements like outdoor sales or seating areas provided by the tenant or building owner. The setback zone is the space located on private property between the property line and the building face.

Private Developer Responsibility. When a new development requires streetscape improvements, developers shall replace and/or reconstruct streetscape improvements to “like or better” condition as documented at the start of the development project. i All projects shall refer to the EDDA’s design documentation for South Broadway streetscape to meet the streetscape vision for South Broadway and intersecting streets within the design guidelines boundary. Which Streetscape Elements are Appropriate in Each Zone? Use the following table to know what streetscape elements are appropriate within each streetscape zone and reference the following guidelines: Maintain free and clear of obstructions. Curb Zone Accessible Route Building Zone Setback Zone (where applicable) Page 174 of 259 26 South Broadway Design Guidelines B. Paving. Sidewalk paving in the South Broadway Area should be designed to provide a consistent ground plane for the area. All sidewalk areas should be made of concrete for ease of maintenance and patching. i Concrete scoring patterns should be used to define the streetscape zones. Use greater spacing between score joints to define the Accessible Route and tighter spacing to define the Curb Zone and Building Zone. ii Artistic features stamped into the concrete are allowed in high-traffic areas, such as prominent street corners, as a public art element. iii Colored concrete is not recommended in the right-of-way due to inherent challenges associated with maintenance. The scoring patterns should be used to define the streetscape zones, like this sidewalk in the Tennyson Street district in Denver. Artistic features may be used in high-traffic areas as a public art element. Page 175 of 259 27South Broadway Design Guidelines C. Street Trees. Street trees are required on city streets to reduce urban heat island and to increase air quality and overall aesthetics and walkability. i Street trees should be evenly spaced, approximately 30-feet apart, to provide a cadence along the streetscape and serve as a buffer between the accessible route and roadway. ii To maximize usable sidewalk space, tree grates are preferred on streets with high pedestrian traffic. South Broadway grates should be four feet wide with a length ranging from eight to sixteen feet. iii Landscaped beds may be appropriate on streets other than South Broadway and depend on the context and maintenance considerations. iv Desired trees that can withstand urban conditions are listed to the right. Large trees should be a minimum of 2.5” caliper when planted; ornamental trees may be 2” caliper. v Irrigation is required to ensure establishment and proper tree growth in urban conditions. Desired Street Tree List: Acer miyabel - State Street Maple Celtis Occidentalis - Western Hackberry Ginko Biloba - Magyar Ginko Gymnoclydus Dioicus - “Espresso Coffeetree” Quercus x Macdanielii - Heritage Oak Quercus Schumardii - Shumard Oak Styphnoloblum Japonica - Regent Pagodatree Ulmus x Pumila - “Triumph Elm” Street trees in tree grates will be the typical condition to extend walkable area and ADA space. Street trees should be evenly spaced to provide a cadence along the street and provide a buffer between the accessible route and roadway. NOTE: all selected varieties must meet state and local requirements first. Page 176 of 259 28 South Broadway Design Guidelines D. Landscape Beds. Landscape beds should be used sparingly on South Broadway and placed in prominent locations such as at gateway intersections, mid-block crossings, and other “bulb-out” locations that provide ample space. i Refer to the 2025 EDDA South Broadway Public Realm Action Plan for desired placement of landscape beds. ii Use native, xeric plants in landscape beds. iii Irrigation is required to establish healthy plants. Irrigation system may be programmed in response to changing and/or cyclical weather patterns. iv Mulch shall be limited to shredded cedar mulch. Dyed mulch, cedar chips, and pebble rocks are prohibited. Desired Shrub, Groundcover, and Perennial Groupings: Species:A:B:C: Hemerocallis Species - “Stella de Oro” Daylily X X Lysimachia Nummurlaria - Common Moneywort X X Mahonia Repens - Creeping Mahonia X X Sedum hybridum - Oakleaf Stonecrop X Euonymus fortune - Purpleleaf Wintercreeper X Forsythia viridissima - Dwarf Forsythia X Hemerocallis sp. - Happy Returns Daylily X Mahonia repens - Creeping Mahonia X Native, xeric plants should be used in strategically placed landscape beds that are easy to maintain while adding color to the streetscape. Integrated “seat walls” may be provided along landscaped beds to offer additional seating opportunities. Page 177 of 259 29South Broadway Design Guidelines E. Other Streetscape Elements. Other elements may be required or desired to be provided by the developer within the public right-of-way. i Refer to 2025 EDDA South Broadway Public Realm Action Plan for pedestrian lighting, benches, bike racks, and trash receptacle placement and specifications. ii All pedestrian lamps in the curb zone shall match existing lights in 3300 and 3400 Blocks. iii Benches should include arm rests and backs for comfort. A center arm rest is desired to prevent sleeping. iv Streetscape elements should be easy to maintain and clean while adding warmth and color to the streetscape. v Any additional elements placed in the building zone may be specified and shall be maintained by the building owner or tenant and should complement the character of the streetscape. Planter pots placed in the curb zone shall be selected and maintained by the EDDA and planters in the building zone shall be specified and maintained by the building owner or tenant. Pedestrian lamps in the curb zone should match those in the 3300 and 3400 Blocks. South Broadway Streetscape Palette: Note the final streetscape palette is still being determined. Contact the EDDA for more information on the South Broadway Public Realm Action Plan. Page 178 of 259 30 South Broadway Design Guidelines 4.3 Outdoor Dining INTENT: South Broadway is, and should continue to grow, as a destination for a vibrant daytime and nighttime scene with a wide variety of dining establishments to choose from. Visible dining areas in the public realm signals that this area is safe and inviting, as it puts more “eyes on the street” and naturally detracts from loitering and negative behavior. GUIDELINES: A. Sidewalk Dining. Sidewalk dining areas should be designed to maintain a clear and straight accessible route, be visible and inviting from the public ROW, and follow necessary permitting requirements from the city, in addition to the following: i Small “bistro set” seating is allowed in the Building Zone where space allows and may also be allowed in the Curb Zone if on-street parking is provided to protect diners. ii More formal dining areas are also appropriate where space allows. A minimum of 7-feet shall be provided from back of curb to the dining area (railing or seating.)Sidewalk dining areas are encouraged in the South Broadway area where space allows and an Accessible Route can be maintained. 7’ min. Accessible Route Bistro set seating located in the building zone that provides accessible route. Formal dining area adjacent to the building that provides accessible route. Page 179 of 259 31South Broadway Design Guidelines B. Parklet Dining. Parklet dining areas are in the public right-of-way, typically replacing an on-street parking space(s). Parklets are not appropriate on South Broadway or any Collector Streets, but may be appropriate in other locations on Local Streets in the area. Refer to Exhibit C for Street Classifications. i Parklets should match the elevation of the sidewalk to create a level, continuous surface. ii Parklets should not block ADA parking spaces, flow lines, curb inlets, or other drainage infrastructure. iii Vertical barriers should be provided on all street-facing sides and shall be located a minimum of two feet from adjacent travel lanes.2’ min. Travel Lane Vertical Barrier Parklets shall match the elevation of the sidewalk to create a level surface and provide vertical barriers on all street-facing sides. Parklets shall not block ADA parking spaces, flow lines, curb inlets, or other drainage infrastructure. (credit: Design Concepts) Page 180 of 259 32 South Broadway Design Guidelines C. Dining on Private Property. Dining areas that are located on private property are encouraged and should be designed to be visible from a public right-of-way while providing protection and privacy to diners. i For new buildings, utilize the “frontage area” to accommodate dining fronting a sidewalk when feasible. ii For existing buildings near the property line, consider incorporating roll-up doors to accommodate “al fresco” dining inside the building facing a sidewalk. iii Rooftop dining is encouraged in the district. Consider visibility from the street as well as maximizing views of the mountains, when feasible. iv Rear dining is also encouraged to help activate alleys. Utilize fencing that has some transparency to allow greater visibility to and from the space. Example of dining in the “frontage area” or setback. Example of dining indoor that acts like outdoor dining with roll-up doors. Rooftop dining example (credit: Izayaka Denver) Example of rear dining to help activate an alley.Example of private courtyard dining. Page 181 of 259 33South Broadway Design Guidelines 4.4 Off-Broadway Activation INTENT: A primary goal of the South Broadway subarea is to create a 360-degree main street experience that is unique and non-linear. While South Broadway is the main “corridor”, there are other unique site features in the district that should be celebrated (refer to Exhibit D.) Projects should embrace these features and make them more pedestrian-friendly, well-lit, safe, and vibrant. New projects adjacent to these spaces should consider them as secondary frontages, rather than “back” sides and seek to include design elements that embrace and activate them in unique ways. Off-Broadway Activation spaces include: 1. Alleys running parallel to South Broadway present unique opportunities to expand the district’s activation area into more quiet zones and “discovered” places. The alleys are close to parking areas that patrons and employees use and therefore, they are already being used for pedestrian passageways to businesses and South Broadway. 2. The Paseos are located mid-block on the 3400 Block. Connections to these as well as the addition of new paseos on other blocks should be considered. It is desired that adjacent buildings “turn the corner” to activate these spaces as well. 3. Little Dry Creek and Park is a unique natural site feature to the district. New projects on the 3400 and 3500 Blocks should include design elements and permeability in building designs that encourage more “eyes on the creek.” 4. Festival Street(s) are a potential for this district. In particular, West Hampden from South Broadway to Acoma Street is envisioned as a future festival street. Others may be possible. Projects should consider these opportunities in future designs. 5. Enhanced Connectivity is desired to break up the blocks and create mid-block passages for pedestrians to and from South Broadway. Example of alley activation.Example of mid-block pedestrian passage.

Alleys and Paseos. The improvement of alleys and paseos (new and existing) is desired to create a 360-degree main street that is safe and inviting. Consider the following for activating alleys and paseos in the district: i Provide secondary public entrances to a building from these spaces whenever feasible and ensure that secondary entrances are well lit. ii Screen utilities such as trash containers, electric meters, and transformers adjacent to or attached to a building. iii Maintain a clean and composed alley and paseo facade. iv Enhance the alley/paseo facade of a building to include a higher degree of design detailing and materiality. v Include building signage along alleys. vi Consider adding planters or other landscaping (on private property only) to add greenery to soften the alley experience. Rear building entrance on South Broadway with landscaping and windows for activation. A clean and composed alley/paseo facade with public realm improvements such as seating, planters, and enhanced lighting creates a safe and inviting atmosphere. Include building signage and secondary entrances from the alleys. Page 184 of 259 36 South Broadway Design Guidelines B. Other Considerations. Consider the following for all Off-Broadway activation areas: i Enhance safety of these areas by activating them with outdoor uses, such as patios or seating areas and/or by providing “eyes on the space” with windows and doors overlooking the space. ii Public art in these spaces are encouraged. Refer to public art guidelines for more information. iii Provide enhanced lighting, either on a site or on a building, that increases visibility to these spaces at night. Reference Table 4.4 in of Municipal Code section 16-4-5. CASE STUDY: Longmont, Colorado (above photos) has made improvements to their downtown alleys and paseos. The paseos, shown in the photos above, are activated with pedestrian-scaled lighting, breezeway structures, landscaping, public art, outdoor dining, and seating areas. Page 185 of 259 37South Broadway Design Guidelines 4.5 Parking and Trash INTENT: Parking, loading and trash are necessary utilities. They are primarily accessed from the alleys. Due to the desire to have multipurpose alleys that are utilitarian as well as pedestrian-friendly, it is important to consider the placement and screening of these utilities. GUIDELINES: A. Parking. Private parking areas should be designed to enhance the experience of the district. Parking should be easy to find, easy and safe to access, well- lit, and the perimeter of the parking area should include screening. In addition to code requirements, consider the following: i Provide access to a parking area via alleys whenever possible. A local street is desired if alley access is not feasible. ii Locate surface parking areas to the rear or sides of a building (not in front.) iii When repurposing an existing lot that includes parking in front, consider repurposing the parking area as a patio first. If the area must be used as parking, design the parking area to be screened from public streets with landscaping, low walls/fences, or a combination of the two. iv Ensure that any screening or walls do not provide opportunities for people to hide. A parking lot is screened from the adjacent sidewalk with landscaping and a decorative metal fence. A former parking lot is repurposed as outdoor dining facing the public street. (credit: Joshua Zinder Architecture + Design) Page 186 of 259 38 South Broadway Design Guidelines v If structured parking (above-grade or podium) is being provided and is visible from a public street or alley, wrapping the structure with an active use is desired. vi When an active ground-floor use cannot be provided for structured parking, use high-quality exterior materials and construction techniques and consider the following: • Screen the ground floor parking bays so that light from cars does not spill onto public streets. • Include punctured openings and details that look like windows on the facade. • Include other screening techniques such as architectural screening, public art, vines, green walls, or other appropriate and visually interesting technique. • Ensure the parking structure is well-lit. This is especially important for primary pedestrian circulation routes such as staircases and elevators. A parking structure that is designed to look like a building with active uses on the ground floor and punched openings in the rear to look like windows. A parking structure that is wrapped in an artistic screen and well-lit for enhanced safety. Page 187 of 259 39South Broadway Design Guidelines B. Reduce Parking Demand. Utilize transportation demand management (TDM) strategies when designing a new project to decrease private vehicle trips and parking demands. Consider the following: i Provide on-site bike parking and storage areas that are convenient and easy to use. ii Provide free or discounted transit passes as a perk to residents/ employees. iii Provide space on-site for car sharing and ride hailing services. iv Contribute to a mixed-use, walkable environment where daily needs can be met by walking, biking, or taking transit. C. Trash/Recycling. Incorporate into a site plan a dedicated location for secure trash/recycling receptacles - either inside the building or within a fenced enclosure with access from an alley. i Consider creative expression for trash enclosures that may be visible from an alley or other public way. ii Choose fencing materials that complement the architecture and avoid surfaces that can be easily vandalized. iii Consolidate trash locations, when feasible, with nearby neighboring properties. iv Ensure proper ventilation and lighting of these spaces. A building provides its own bike parking for patrons and employees. A consolidated trash enclosure that is shared by multiple businesses/buildings. Page 188 of 259 40 South Broadway Design Guidelines 4.6 Public Art INTENT: Place-based public art is highly encouraged in this district to contribute to South Broadway’s unique identity, history, and sense of place. It can act as a gateway, destination, landmark, or sanctuary within the public realm. It should also project the values of the South Broadway district and tie people to the district physically, socially, and emotionally. Public art can also have great economic benefits to a downtown district such as this. Increasingly public art is planned, designed, sited, and managed by multiple interested organizations and partners. These include parks and recreation departments, public works offices, environmental and economic development agencies, neighborhood organizations, health departments, transit agencies, real estate developers, and many others. It is desired that the South Broadway district maintain a unique and eclectic artistic vibe without becoming too cluttered or overwhelming that the art distracts from the place. Each unique piece of art in this district should be coordinated and thoughtfully integrated. This document utilizes guidelines from the Project for Public Spaces as considerations for public art in the South Broadway district. Note that works of art are generally exempt from permitting under Title 16, which exempts city review. However, applicants are encouraged to use these guidelines as a framework for decision- making when placing and creating public art as part of their building or site. Please consult with the Englewood DDA before beginning a public art contribution. GUIDELINES FROM PROJECT FOR PUBLIC SPACES FOR PUBLIC ART SELECTION AND PLACEMENT: A. Review Guidelines. i Suitability of the work for its immediate environment, including its maintenance and conservation requirements. ii Relationship of the work to the site and the host community, especially how it serves to activate or enhance public spaces. iii Appropriateness of the scale of the artwork. iv How closely the proposed artwork meets the goals set out in any RFP (or RFQ) and envisioned by the community. “The Carnation City” mural in the alley of the 3400 Block is an example of public art that is placed on private property. Page 189 of 259 41South Broadway Design Guidelines B. Site Selection. i Artworks should not block windows or entranceways, nor obstruct normal pedestrian circulation in and out of a building (unless such alteration is specifically a part of the experience or design of the artwork). ii Art should be sited so as to be either immediately visible or in a location where it will be visible by the most people. iii Art should be sited where it will create a place of congregation or in a location that experiences high levels of pedestrian traffic and activity. iv Art should be located in a site where it will effectively enhance and activate the pedestrian and streetscape experience. C. Placement Criteria. i Art should not be placed in a given site if the landscaping and maintenance requirements of that site cannot be met. ii Art should be placed in a site where it is not overwhelmed by nor competing with the scale of the site or adjacent architecture, large retail signage, billboards, etc. iii Art should be placed in a site where it will enhance its surroundings or at least not detract from it (for example, creating a “blind” spot where illegal activity can take place). iv Art should be placed in a site where it does not compete with or detract from nearby artworks, and where it can enhance or compliment adjacent art and design features. Consider the placement of artwork and ensure the scale of the piece matches the scale of the space around it, i.e. larger pieces require more space. Locate artwork where it will enhance and activate the pedestrian and streetscape experience.

Page 191 of 259 43South Broadway Design Guidelines 5 Guidelines for Existing and New Buildings 5.1 Street-Level Activation INTENT: A primary goal for this district is to provide a vibrant traditional main street environment with active uses on the ground floor that provide multiple options for dining, shopping, working, and entertainment. GUIDELINES: A. Visual Interest. The street level of a building should utilize human-scaled architectural features and provide visual interest. Consider incorporating: i Awnings that provide protection from the elements (sun, rain, etc.) above street-level windows and doors. Awnings should provide at least an eight foot clearance from the sidewalk to bottom of awning. ii Architectural lighting that provides visual interest and increased safety at night. Note all lighting should point down and be full cutoff fixtures. iii Materials that are durable and modular, such as brick, tile, or panels. iv Architectural detailing such as unique brickwork patterns. v Planters and benches or similar furnishings can also create human scale along the street level. Awnings, storefront windows, durable base materials and brick detailing provide visual interest at the street level. Utilize architecturel lighting, planters, bay definition and materials to provide visual interest. Page 192 of 259 44 South Broadway Design Guidelines B. Commercial Storefronts and Entrances. Storefronts and entrances to commercial uses should be designed to be transparent to showcase goods and services as well provide a unique identity for the business and overall district. i The majority of a storefront should provide visibility into the commercial space. Minimize permanent and temporary window signage to avoid visual clutter. ii Window displays are allowed, and should be curated to celebrate the uniqueness of a business and provide visual interest for passersby. iii Avoid interior window shades on the street-level of commercial frontages. iv Design a storefront to be in line with the commercial branding. Creative, fun, eclectic storefront designs are welcome. v Recessed entrances as part of a storefront are common in the district and encouraged. Keep a storefront as transparent as possible to showcase goods. Awnings and signage contribute to this bakery’s branding. Window displays should be curated to celebrate the uniqueness of a business. Recessed entrances are common and encouraged. Page 193 of 259 45South Broadway Design Guidelines C. Ground Floor Residential. When residential uses are allowed and provided in new construction on a ground floor, the frontage should be thoughtfully designed to provide a transition space between the public sidewalk and internal private space. i Note that in MU-B-1 zone district, residential uses can only be placed on upper floors of mixed-use buildings or behind a non-residential use that is at least 40-feet deep. ii Non-residential uses are desired facing South Broadway whenever feasible to add to the vibrancy and traditional main street character. iii Utilize the frontage building line (build- to range) to provide an adequate transition space and buffer from the public sidewalk to a unit or residential building. Landscaping is desired in the build-to area. iv Individual unit entrances are desired when a residential building is facing a public street. Elevated entrances are desired to allow for more transition space and privacy, except for ADA- required units. Utilize the frontage area to provide an adequate transition space and buffer. Individual unit entrances and private patio space activate the ground floor while also providing privacy for residents.Elevated stoops and private courtyards provide with fencing and landscaping provide privacy and protection for residents while also engaging the street. Page 194 of 259 46 South Broadway Design Guidelines 5.2 Modifications to Existing Buildings INTENT: Reusing existing buildings has environmental benefits, helps maintain the authenticity and history of the district, and helps retain and attract local businesses. Modifications to existing buildings may be required by code, by functionality of a new use, or aesthetically- desired. Building modifications should be done in a way that celebrates the original architecture and/or materials while breathing new life into the building. Reference South Broadway “Main Street” Characteristics section of this document and conduct further research as information is available to fully understand the history of a particular structure. GUIDELINES: A. Exterior Facades. Restoring notable buildings and revitalizing old buildings, in general, is a preference for the district. Consider the following when planning for exterior modifications: i Identify, reveal, and restore any original or significant architectural features or historical facade elements that contribute to the character and identity of a building. ii If restoration is not an option, consider reconstructing significant features of a traditional main street building. iii Revealing painted brick is preferred. Before removing paint, conduct a test to determine detrimental effects. Do not use sand blasting or chemicals that could damage the original brick. iv Embrace creative reinterpretation and innovative design solutions that celebrate a building’s history while modifying it to accommodate contemporary uses. Identify, reveal, and restore any original or significant architectural features that contribute to the character and identity of a building. Reusing existing buildings can help maintain the authenticity of the district, tell the history of the place, and retain and attract local business. Page 195 of 259 47South Broadway Design Guidelines v Introduce new elements, modifications, and additions with sensitivity to a building’s character and context. Design interventions should respect the scale, proportions, and materials of the original structure while enhancing the functionality for new uses. vi Additions to existing buildings should be subordinate to and distinguishable from the original structure. vii Avoid designs that completely cover an existing building’s traditional architecture. Introduce new elements, modifications, and additions with sensitivity to a building’s character and context. Additions should be subordinate to and distinguishable from the original structure. Design interventions should respect the scale, proportions, and materials of the original structure while enhancing functionality for new uses. Page 196 of 259 48 South Broadway Design Guidelines 5.3 Building Massing and Scale INTENT: The South Broadway area includes the majority of Englewood’s traditional “main street” environment. The majority of the 3400 and 3500 Blocks as well as the east side of 3300 Block and southwest corner of 3200 Block all include buildings that are considered “contextual” to Englewood’s original downtown. New structures should respond to any original main street structures in a context-sensitive manner and blend in rather than stand out. GUIDELINES: A. Respond to Context. Design a new structure to reflect elements of adjacent traditional structures so they blend in. i Align floor plates, roof lines, accent lines, and windows to respond to adjacent existing buildings. ii Use similar proportions as the adjacent building(s). iii Take cues from any significant architectural detailing, like unique brickwork, column spacing, balconies, awnings, window details, lighting, etc. This new building matches the height and proportions of adjacent buildings. This new building aligns floor plates of adjacent buildings and “steps down” to the lower scale structure. This new building provides a relief for the entrance and steps back the taller portion of the building to respond to the adjacent building.

Street Scale. In general, new buildings should appear similar in height, mass, and scale to other buildings in the area. Taller structures should reflect the traditional street scale of one to two stories. A step back after 40-feet, or the 3rd floor, is required in MU-B-1. Consider the following guidelines to further respond to lower street scale buildings: i Plan step backs on upper floors of a building to align with and respond to adjacent buildings of lower scale. ii When a building is more than two floors taller than an adjacent building, step down the massing of the building to be no more than two floors taller than an adjacent structure. iii Avoid situations where the ground floor is recessed further than upper floors. This is not a traditional pattern and makes the building appear out of proportion. Bay windows or smaller projecting elements may be appropriate. A step back is provided after the 3rd floor and an entrance court provides relief in the sidewalk. A step back is provided after the 3rd floor on part of the building breaks up the massing of this building to look like multiple buildings with a varied roofline. A step back after the 2nd floor creates a traditional scale along the street. Page 199 of 259 51South Broadway Design Guidelines C. Building Massing, Scale and Proportion. Break up the scale of large buildings to appear like multiple, smaller structures and accommodate smaller retail spaces that are similar to traditional floor plates. i Massing and modulation elements are required every 50-feet in this district per 16-6-5. Utilize as many of these criteria as feasible in an architectural design without appearing too “busy” – find a balance and utilize proportion and purpose when instituting massing and modulation techniques. ii The maximum wall length of a singular structure along South Broadway should be no more than 300-feet in length before a mid-block passage or open-air courtyard is provided with access from South Broadway. iii Design a building with a large floor plate to appear like multiple individual structures or storefronts and moderate building heights. iv Traditional floor plates typically consisted of 25-foot wide (or less) retail storefronts. Follow this pattern in new structures when feasible to create a more interesting ground floor experience that accommodates a wide variety of retailers. This building utilizes bay windows and balconies to create a purposeful rhythm to the facade. A modest brick box building is modulated with recessed entrances and windows and brick detailing. A large floor plate building is made to look like two separate structures with material changes. Page 200 of 259 52 South Broadway Design Guidelines D. Windows. Window design should follow traditional patterns of punctuated openings that create a rhythm to the façade. i Avoid wall faces that do not include windows, even on upper floors and on the rear sides of structures. ii If windows cannot be provided due to the interior function of the building, incorporate public art, vertical wall landscaping (structure with vining plants), or decorative features that add architectural interest. iii Incorporate solar control features such as sunshades, light shelves, awnings, louvers, etc. on south or west-facing windows to add visual interest and control solar exposure. iv Also refer to Table 6-4 in the Municipal Code section 16-6-4. E. Private Outdoor Space. Balconies and rooftop patios are encouraged to add visual interest to a façade, provide private open space for tenants, maximize views of the Colorado landscape, and provide more “eyes on the street” to allow residents and employees to self-monitor the district and increase safety. i Place balconies to overlook public spaces such as streets, parks, and plazas. i Ensure ample space is given to balconies and private open space. Large contemporary windows follow traditional “punched” opening patterns and include solar controls. Balconies overlook the street and provide additional surveillance while also contributing to the facade rhythm. Page 201 of 259 53South Broadway Design Guidelines 5.4 Materials and Color INTENT: New building materials in the district should relate to the history of the place and context and create a visually cohesive traditional main street district. Materials standards are listed in 16-6-5.F and Table 6-5 of the Unified Development Code. In addition, the following guidelines apply. GUIDELINES: A. Materials. Use durable, high-quality materials that are properly installed and designed to last. i Brick is the predominant material in the district today and is desired as a primary material for new buildings. ii Contemporary materials are also appropriate as long as they are durable. iii Keep material palettes simple - do not overcomplicate a facade with multiple materials. iv Unique material detailing is encouraged. v Stucco should be avoided on the ground floor, especially near high- traffic areas and building faces oriented to a street. B. Color. Colors should be primarily earth- toned and natural and respond to the surrounding context. i Bright and primary colors should be limited to accent elements such as for windows/storefront trim, awnings, or to highlight a special architectural feature. ii Avoid changing colors or materials on the same plane. Use a designed projection or recess of a building to change colors and materials. iii Only change colors at internal corners of a wall plane change, not external. Keep material palettes simple. Bright and primary colors should be limited to accent elements, such as this red awning that matches the brand of the restaurant. A pop of yellow is incorporated on balconies and decking to an otherwise neutral architectural color palette.

The efforts and vision of the Englewood Downtown Development Authority have been widely embraced by both local business owners and community members, and we are excited to see how these plans will shape the future of our downtown. The Chamber has a deep interest in Englewood’s future and recognizes the critical need for a vibrant, welcoming downtown area. These proposed improvements are essential to retaining and growing our existing businesses while attracting new ones to the region. We believe these guidelines will help foster a thriving commercial district for years to come. South Broadway is a unique and beloved part of our community. As the original downtown of Englewood, it is home to a large number of local businesses and holds a special place in the hearts of residents. This area exudes a small-town feel that many people appreciate and cherish. The proposed plans ensure that this character is not only preserved but celebrated, while still allowing for thoughtful development. The plans strike a careful balance between encouraging development and preserving the qualities that make South Broadway special. New investments are already taking place on South Broadway, and we welcome the continued renovation and development of buildings. These guidelines—reasonable and not overly restrictive—will play a crucial role in attracting businesses and developers who align with our vision for the area and want to be part of Englewood's ongoing growth. The Chamber has a deep interest in Englewood’s future and recognizes the critical need for a vibrant, welcoming downtown area.

Thank you for your time and consideration, Sincerely, Lindsey Runyan Executive Director Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce Page 205 of 259 Matt Crabtree Historic Englewood 1000 Englewood Pkwy Englewood, CO 80110 February 18, 2025 Subject: Letter of Support for South Broadway Design Guidelines On behalf of Historic Englewood, we are pleased to offer our support for the South Broadway design guidelines project. South Broadway is not only the heart of our historic downtown but also remains a vital part of our community. We are happy to see the Englewood Downtown Development Authority (EDDA) working to preserve and enhance the unique character of this important corridor. South Broadway is home to numerous historic buildings, landmarks, and long-standing businesses that contribute to the diverse and distfnctfve character of Englewood. The proposed guidelines help implement the community’s vision for the downtown sectfon of South Broadway as set forth in the Englewood Comprehensive Plan, Englewood Downtown Plan, and the South Broadway Public Realm Actfon Plan. They reinforce traditfonal main street characteristfcs, encourage the adaptfve reuse of older buildings, and promote the enhancement of original materials and details. By integratfng historic elements into new design, these guidelines ensure that the district’s rich heritage is preserved while fostering thoughtiul growth and development. Importantly, these efforts will support small and local businesses, enhance walkability, and strengthen the sense of community in this district—qualitfes that have been the backbone of South Broadway since its inceptfon. In Englewood, historic preservatfon has not always been a city priority. Over the years, city-led development efforts have often favored large-scale redevelopment projects over the needs of local businesses, divertfng attentfon to City Center and "big box" stores rather than our Main Street. We are encouraged to see the EDDA’s plan refocusing attentfon on South Broadway and highlightfng its unique charm and historical significance. Historic Englewood supports the adoptfon of these design guidelines and urges the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council to approve them. We appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this important initfatfve and look forward to seeing South Broadway thrive for generatfons to come. Sincerely, Matt Crabtree President, Board of Directors Historic Englewood Mjcrabtree21@gmail.com Page 206 of 259 Page 207 of 259 February 24, 2025 On behalf of Vibrant Englewood, we offer our support for the Englewood South Broadway Design Guidelines. Vibrant Englewood is a new community organization on a mission to bring people together to support policies and ideas that make Englewood a great community to live, work, shop, play, and grow. We believe these Guidelines will make the corridor between Englewood Station and the Wellness District more appealing, active, and welcoming, drawing both Englewood residents and visitors from beyond our city. Below are our reasons for support followed by recommendations to further strengthen South Broadway as a thriving destination that benefits businesses and builds community. Why We Support the Guidelines 1 Designs We Can Be Proud Of The Guidelines support high-quality architecture, alley improvements, and unique features that give Englewood a distinct personality and establish our city as a memorable destination. 2 Vibrant, People-Friendly Spaces We appreciate the emphasis on wider sidewalks, outdoor dining, and other “third spaces” that encourage spontaneous social interaction. Activating alleys and mid-block paseos also enrich the pedestrian experience, creating unique nooks and gathering spots that draw people in. Together, these improvements invite neighbors and visitors to linger, explore, and support local shops while forming stronger community bonds. 3. Safety Through Design We appreciate the attention given to slowing vehicle speeds and improving pedestrian infrastructure, most notably the idea of a mid-block crossing near the 3200 block of South Broadway. This would connect mid-block passageways, reduce long distances between safe crossings, and encourage drivers to be more mindful of pedestrians. Together with carefully planned sidewalks, lighting, and potential curb extensions, these measures help ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable spending time in Englewood’s core. 4. Park and Festival Street Activation We support efforts to revitalize Little Dry Creek and its adjacent park, which is currently underused. Making this space more inviting will encourage neighbors and visitors to gather, benefiting both community life and local businesses. Completing the trail connection to the South Platte River adds a new activity to the area, allowing families to bike, shop, and dine in one outing; right now, that loop is not feasible. Transforming West Hampden into a festival street will also create a versatile setting for everything from large celebrations to casual weekend markets, giving people more reasons to stop Page 208 of 259 and enjoy. Meanwhile, activating nearby alleys supports smaller businesses by creating safe, pedestrian-friendly pathways, a strategy that has worked well in other towns. Altogether, these improvements will entice more people to explore and linger in our area, strengthening both our community and local economy. Recommendation: Repurpose Some On-Street Parking for Pedestrians, Quick Drop-Offs, and Traffic Calming Although a busy store might have only one or two on-street spaces in front, those spaces can be monopolized by the first person to arrive, even though there is already plenty of off-street parking nearby. Often, these lots are hidden from South Broadway, and better signage could help direct drivers to the available public parking. Converting part of this curb space into wider sidewalks, curb extensions, or short-term drop-off areas benefits more people overall: 1 Welcome More Patrons Additional sidewalk seating can accommodate a larger number of diners or shoppers, rather than one or two parked cars. This boosts foot traffic and helps local businesses prosper. 2 Calm Traffic While Supporting Pedestrians Curb extensions naturally slow vehicles, making the street safer and more welcoming. When drivers move at a gentler pace, pedestrians feel comfortable strolling, shopping, and dining—ultimately building community and sustaining local stores. 3 Improve Accessibility Short-term drop-off zones allow rideshares, deliveries, and those who need to walk shorter distances to come and go easily, rather than competing for a single curbside spot. By embracing these Guidelines, South Broadway can become a safer, more engaging, and more vibrant destination that draws both residents and visitors, benefiting local businesses and strengthening our sense of community. We are excited about this vision and look forward to seeing it realized. Thank you for all your efforts to make this important part of Englewood an even better place to be. Vibrant Englewood Page 209 of 259 February 13, 2025 Dear Ms. Portell, On behalf of Brewability, I am pleased to offer our strong support for the proposed South Broadway Design Guidelines. As a business dedicated to inclusivity and accessibility, we recognize the critical importance of creating a main street environment that is welcoming, safe, and truly accessible for all individuals, regardless of age or ability. Brewability is built on the foundation that every person, including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, should have meaningful employment and an inclusive space to enjoy their community. We applaud the thoughtful approach taken in shaping these guidelines, incorporating input from individuals with disabilities, business leaders, and accessibility advocates. It is heartening to see universal design principles and frameworks like the Six Feelings Framework for Autism-Friendly Spaces incorporated into the planning process. The accessibility-focused elements of the guidelines will have a direct and profound impact on community members we serve daily. Features such as accessible building entrances, universal signage, wide and obstruction-free sidewalks, consistent ground paving, and universally designed outdoor spaces will ensure that South Broadway is easy to navigate and safe for all patrons, including those who use wheelchairs or other mobility devies, have sensory sensitivities, or require additional support when engaging with their environment. Furthermore, the proposed South Broadway Public Realm Action Plan introduces critical traffic-calming measures, such as bulb-outs at intersections and button extenders for mid-block crossings. These elements will enhance pedestrian safety and promote independence for individuals with disabilities who need additional time or assistance when navigating crosswalks. For a community to thrive, it must be accessible to all who wish to engage with it. By adopting these guidelines, Englewood will set an important precedent for how cities can create truly inclusive public spaces. Brewability is proud to stand in support of this initiative, and we encourage the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council to adopt these guidelines without hesitation. Thank you for your continued efforts in making Englewood a model of accessibility and inclusion. Please do not hesitate to reach out if we can provide further insight or support. Sincerely, Tiffany Fixter M.Ed. Morgan Forsyth Founder & Owner Operator Director of Innovation Brewability Brewability Page 210 of 259 Letter of support proposed South Broadway Design Guidelines. I am a blind senior who lives on Old Hampden and Sherman. I moved here from my Habitat for Humanity home (Vassar and Tejon area) eight years ago for the purpose of walking to grocery stores, the bank, and restaurants independently-without the assistance of friends and family. I love walking the streets of Englewood with my Seeing Eye dog. With that said, according to the trainers at the Seeing Eye Inc., in Morristown, New Jersey, “Englewood has the worse pedestrian crossings in the country.” When I heard of the opportunity to get involved with this project, I jumped on board. I did this for my own safety plus the safety of others with disabilities and seniors who live in the area. And, wouldn’t it be nice to be recognized as having the best crossings in the country, instead of the worse? I’m excited to be part of the proposed guidelines to support a traditional main street that is welcoming, safe and easier for everyone to get around, regardless of age or ability. Did you know 14% of Englewood’s community members live and walk our streets with disabilities? In particular, I’ve advocated for: 5-6’ wide accessible route on sidewalks, free and clear of obstructions Sidewalk paving with a consistent ground plane Street trees with grates flush with the ground-no tripping hazard or obstacle for wheelchairs or blind Bulb-outs at lighted intersections to enhance pedestrian visibility to oncoming traffic A s hortened crossing distance for those who need more time to get across the street. Overall traffic calming In addition, important to me were and are: #1. Hawk lights at Sherman and Old Hampden to enable getting across the street without always going to Logan or Broadway to cross. #2. Aligned accessible cross walks. #3. Out bumps to slow the traffic and to make pedestrians more visible. Many times, I’ve feared for my life and the life of my guide dog crossing Old Hampden. I’m praying that this design and project will enhance my life and that of seniors and others with disabilities who live in the area for years to come. This is not only the right time for this project, it is the right thing to do for our community. Though my thoughts are slanted towards blind people, all people, regardless of their abilities, will benefit enormously from these improvements and enhancements. Infinite Blessings Gail Hamilton 3500 S Sherman Street, #143 Englewood, CO 80113 (720) 377-7682 gail@SoaringIntoGreatness.com Page 211 of 259 February 19, 0225 To whom it may concern: I’m writing to express my support for the EDDA’s Design Guidelines. I truly appreciate the care and thoughtfulness that went into these guidelines—they reflect the spirit of our community. Since 2019, they have been meeting and listening to many businesses and neighbors about how much they love our main street. Especially how much they admire its walkability, the unique storefronts, and that unmistakable, funky vibe that sets Englewood apart. Many in our community have shared concerns about the new development just north of South Broadway. There’s a real fear that our beloved main street might lose its unique character and become too “Denverized.” We all want South Broadway to remain distinctly Englewood, much like the charming streets in Golden, Fort Collins, and other similar cities. I believe these guidelines offer a balanced path forward—preserving what makes our downtown special while welcoming new investments in a way that honors our history and identity. I believe they’re designed to ensure that South Broadway remains a vibrant, safe, and accessible space for everyone. Thank you for considering this vision for our community. I look forward to continuing to work together to keep South Broadway as the heart and soul of Englewood. Warm regards, Trace Brummet Tracey Brummett Director of ZAG Project/One Good Turn/Cafe 180 3315 South Broadway Englewood, CO 80113 Page 212 of 259 In Support of Downtown Englewood Design Guidelines Dear Council, As an Englewood resident, business owner, and professional designer, I fully support the adoption of the proposed design guidelines for the Englewood Downtown District. In my experience studying human interaction with and designing retail spaces, digital experiences, and interactive furniture, I’ve found a few things to be true: Constraints are good for designers 1. Style guides / design guidelines / visual design languages (many names for quite similar documents) serve to jumpstart design and building projects, saving time and effort as compared to projects started from zero. 2. Designing with accessibility and inclusion in mind makes things better for everyone involved. 3. While no design guidelines or government policy will be perfect, the document that Hilarie and her team have created are as close as I would expect, and quite honestly even better than I may have hoped. The thoughtful combination of time-tested and scientifically-based design principles (ex: Six Feelings Framework and Seven Principles of Universal Design), community engagement and feedback, and consideration for what makes, and will make, Englewood unique, makes me confident and excited about the direction businesses like mine and others will take downtown Englewood moving forward. As a relatively small town with limited budget and an intentionally rotating cast of elected and appointed leaders, I believe that the existence of design guidelines for downtown Englewood will do two things that I’m grateful for: Maintain a consistent visual and experiential style for downtown Englewood even after we’ve elected new councils and other related boards. 1. Save time and effort for our elected and appointed leaders when they consider new development proposals, by giving them a starting point rubric for evaluation. 2. Thank you for everything you do for our town, including and beyond the downtown revitalization efforts.

These guidelines are overseen by the Downtown Design Advisory Board and aim to ensure compatibility with the city's unique contexts. Design Guidelines for Lower Downtown Historic District are used for proposed development in “LoDo” and are overseen by the Lower Downtown Design Review Commission. LITTLETON Littleton adopted the Downtown Littleton Design Standards in 2018 which are intended to “improve the quality of design for new development, rehabilitation of existing buildings, additions to existing buildings, and signs within downtown Littleton.” In addition, they also have Historic Preservation Design Guidelines for properties within the Main Street Historic District designated as “contributors” as well as other individually landmarked structures. BOULDER Boulder uses Downtown Urban Design Guidelines to provide a framework for assessing the design quality of preservation, renovation, and new construction projects within the downtown area. They are staff administered with oversight from different boards and commissions, depending on the location and type of project. GOLDEN Golden has specific Downtown Standards and Guidelines embedded in the municipal code that address various qualities of downtown development. FORT COLLINS Old Town Historic District Design Standards apply to Fort Collins’ Old Town historic district and landmarked properties. They are reviewed and approved by staff and the Landmark Commission. ARVADA Design Guidelines for Olde Town Arvada apply to Arvada’s historic “Olde Town ” when new development, preservation, restoration, signs, or site work occur. They are staff administered with advice from a citizen Design Review Advisory Committee. Page 216 of 259 LOVELAND Loveland adopted their Guide to Downtown Design Standards in 2020 to “provide direction for the construction and rehabilitation of downtown buildings, particularly focusing on exterior appearance of existing buildings, along with the design of new structures and additions.” GREELEY Design Guidelines for Downtown Greeley focus on preserving historic character while accommodating new development that complements the existing urban fabric. BRIGHTON The City of Brighton Downtown Historic District Design Guidelines aim to preserve the city’s rich agricultural history and architectural heritage through thoughtful design practices.

RECOMMENDATION: Consider ordinance updating Title 1 to reflect today's work force, update references to Municipal Code, correct typographical errors, and clarify time calculations for ease of understanding. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: 2022: City Council directs the City Attorney's Office to review Englewood Municipal Code from beginning to end and propose revisions to code to comprehensively review Englewood Municipal Code to ensure it reflects current City practices and applicable law, and to propose revisions for clarity and ease of understanding.

In the last 40 years, Englewood City government and operations have evolved and improved with technology, legal changes, and Page 241 of 259 operational best practices to meet the needs of the City. Because of this, City Council directed the City Attorney’s Office to comprehensively review Englewood Municipal Code to correct typographical errors, remove obsolete dates, ensure it reflects current City practices and applicable law, make gender silent to reflect the makeup of today’s work force, and to propose revisions for clarity and ease of understanding. As part of this project, City staff identified necessary updates to municipal code Title 1, to make gender silent, update references to Municipal of for calculations time clarify ease errors, typographical correct Code, and understanding. The proposed ordinance makes the following Municipal Code changes in Title 1: Eliminate gender references to reflect today's workforce Updates Municipal Code references Clarifies how time is calculated to allow for ease of calculation and remove unnecessary language, to establish deadlines expire at the end of the City workday of 5 p.m., and to mirror time calculation under the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure Eliminate duplication of Charter and Bob’s Rules of Order, and eliminate blanks and obsolete procedure regarding the City Map Eliminate obsolete date and gender references regarding associate Municipal Court judges Pursuant to discussion and direction on April 7, Council Bill 16 was amended to remove the proposed repeal of the Mayor's power to pardon; and updated to remove gender references to align with the State of Colorado Legislative Drafting Manual. The manual's section on gender- neutral language is copied and pasted in pertinent part in the "Analysis" below, and generally directs that legislation be drafted in a gender-neutral style and avoiding gender-specific pronouns. While there was some discussion among Council Members as to whether this manual should be applicable, and which pronouns are appropriate in Municipal Code, it appears the provisions of this manual align with the positions of all Council Members that weighed in on the issue. ANALYSIS: As referenced in the above "Summary" section, the State of Colorado Legislative Drafting Manual provides for gender-neutral language in legislation. This section, which will be followed in drafting municipal code revisions going forward, states in pertinent part: 5.8 Gender-Neutral Language The Executive Committee of the Legislative Council has directed that gender-neutral language be used for all legislative measures. The Committee on Legal Services has formally approved guidelines for the use of gender-neutral language. The guidelines are summarized in this section. The Committee on Legal Services guidelines provide that "All bills, amendments, resolutions, memorials, and proposals for legislation to be introduced in the General Assembly shall use gender-neutral style, avoiding male or female gender terms except in those instances in which a gender-specific term is applicable only to members of one sex or in instances where an exemption is provided for in guidelines or standards." The guidelines state that the use of or failure to use gender-neutral language does not prevent a legislator from offering a measure or an amendment. If the drafter has a question about specific language or about the application of the guidelines, the drafter should discuss the matter with the member sponsoring the measure or amendment. Page 242 of 259 5.8.1 General Considerations and Cautions When changing language to make it gender-neutral, the drafter should never sacrifice clarity or intent. The drafter should make every effort to follow accepted principles of grammar, punctuation, and usage and any applicable rules of statutory construction. The drafter may exercise considerable discretion in selecting alternatives for gender-specific language. However, if the drafter adds a new provision to existing law, the drafter should check the portions not being amended to assure that the gender-neutral language is consistent or compatible with those unamended portions. For example, if an article contains a general definitions section defining the term "policeman" and the drafter adds a new section to the article that uses the gender-neutral alternative of "police officer", an ambiguity could result. 5.8.2 Avoid the Use of Gender-specific Nouns The drafter should avoid using nouns that are gender-specific and instead use substitutes that are generally accepted by recognized authorities on correct English usage. The following is a list of gender-specific nouns and possible substitutes: brother, sister: sibling businessman: business person, executive, member of the community, business manager chairman: chair crewman: crew member daughter, son: child, children draftsman: drafter enlisted man: enlisted personnel, enlisted member, enlistee father, mother: parent, parents female: person, individual fireman: firefighter foreman: supervisor, foreperson grandfather, grandmother: grandparent, grandparents husband and wife: married couple, spouses journeyman: journeyworker (only for plumbers; continue to use journeyman for electricians, linemen, and wiremen) mailman: mail carrier male: person, individual man: person, human, human being, individual man hours: person hours, hours worked, worker hours manmade: artificial, of human origin, synthetic, manufactured manpower: personnel, workforce, worker, human resources midshipman: cadet ombudsman: Ombudsperson or ombuds (see https://federalombuds.ed.gov/s/faq) per man: per person, per individual policeman: police officer seaman: sailor, crew member serviceman: service member six-man commission: six-member commission trained manpower: trained workforce, staff, personnel widow, widower: surviving spouse wife, husband: spouse workmen: workers, employees Page 243 of 259 5.8.3 Avoid the Use of Gender-specific Pronouns The most difficult aspect of drafting measures in gender-neutral language is avoiding gender- specific pronouns. This manual suggests several alternatives, and some work better than others in given circumstances. The drafter should evaluate each alternative, keeping in mind that the goal in drafting any measure is to assure clarity and avoid ambiguity. In general order of preferred use, the alternatives are: 1. Repeat the subject of the sentence or the antecedent (the noun, etc., that the pronoun refers to). In some instances, repeat the possessive noun. 2. Substitute a noun for the pronoun. 3. Omit the pronoun or the phrase that would include the pronoun if the pronoun or phrase is not essential. 4. Use an article such as "a", "an", "the", or "that" instead of the pronoun. 5. Restructure or rewrite the sentence to avoid the need for a pronoun. 5.8.4 Do Not Change Gender-specific Language That Applies to Only One Sex Words that denote or connote gender distinctions may be used in a statute that specifically applies to only one sex. The drafter should be careful to not change gender-specific language in an existing statute when that statute specifically applies to only one sex.
