(a) Roxane Mock was scheduled to address Council. Mayor Bradshaw said she had a note
that Roxane Mock has rescheduled her presentation to July 7 ...
(b) Harvey Rothenberg said I'm here to ask you to take the high road regarding traffic
control. You sec .. .! received a ticket c,,1 May 21" at 10:2S p.m. in the 4SOO block offcdcral Boulevard.
Now, he said, this is the second't:,ne I have received a ticket in the same location. I can't believe I was
even speeding. I was beamed at 49 miles per hour in a 3S mile zone . I teach in the evening at Regis
University and come home frmil SO"' and Federal by taking Federal to Bowles. I believe the speed limit is
40 miles an hour from where J enter Federal Boulevard, heading south, to the Englewood city limits, south
of Oltford. In fact, heading south on Fcdcral right before Oxford, lhcrc is a bi& sign saying 40 miles an
hour. When you go down the hill there is another sign saying 3S miles an hour. You have a patrol car
sitting by the downgrade beaming the speed gun at the ones coming down the hill ... the officer actually told
me this. I was actually stopped at a red light at Oltford and Fcdcral . Therefore, I cannot believe that when
I started up again, that I was speeding right before I was stopped, which is only a few blocks soulh of the
stop light. Now, is this ticket legal? Of course it is. Is it ethical? Absolutely not. Why? If you uked the
officer who gave me the ticket, I'm sure he will tell you I was not driviq c.relcssly or too fut for traffic .
The location of the police car, sitting by the downgrade from Oxford, leads to speculalion u to the purpose
of this "traffic control." I know for a fact that on Federal from at least Evans to the Englewood city limits,
the speed limit is 40 miles an hour . In Englewood, on Federal, it is 3S miles an hour . Once you cross
Belleview it's back up lo 40 miles an hour . Why aren't you consistent with other municipaliticl, such u
Denver, Sheridan and Littleton? The last time I got a ticket, I was worried about my illllnllCC because
there was an ice storm the evening before and I had an accident with some major damap. No ticket was
issued, but I knew the repair on my car would be in the thousands. I took the option of no points and
attended driving school. This was an eltpcriencc. Most of the "students" were teenagers or youn1 adults .
They complained bitterly about the police. calling them names. not worth mentioning or rcpealin& here, and
calling the court system a kangaroo court. I thought just take your punishment and be quiet. Y ct. I am 66
years old and. because of this ticket, I feel the same as thole kids . Again , legally correct? Y cs. Morally
and ethically'/ No . Ethics is a higher standard than legal . You hear stories of individuals not
undcr~tanding the fine print of a contract and arc legally bound, even 1hou1h it is morally unethical and is
unju st. Has thi s ever happened 10 you ? How would you feel ? This is how I felt about this ticket. Now I
enjoy shopping in Englewood . South of Hampden, on Broadway, there arc some of the type of businesses
that make this country great . Small . independent businesses and hopefully they will continue to be
successful. I mentioned thi s, because how can I, as an individual, fipt back about somcthi111 I feel is
unju 1? I can quit shopping in Englewood and spend my money clacwhae. eliminatin1 providina sales
taxes 10 Englewood . I looked over my credit card purchases for the lul twel-.c mondls . I save them for
one previous year . I made purchases in 26 establishments within the Enalewood city limits. I made a li11
for you . This docs not include cash purchases from places like Buraer Kina, China HouK, Hamburaa
Stand and one of my favorit~. the All For the Better ice cream parlor. I'm sure I provided sales tax that
e,,ccedcd the $120.00 fine for this ticket, he said. En1lewood does a lot for its citizens ... cukunlly,
recreationally and for seniors. I marvel at the events listed in the Citizen. Kid's 1tuff, family nipts and
summ er concert s . You should be very proud of these efforts . The National Award for the rede-.clopment
of Ci nderella City is well , well deserved . I sec in a recent budget , you have the followin1 income for traffic

violations ... 2001 -$534,344.00 received, 2003 -$600,000 .00 anticipated. I'm sure, because of declining
sales tax revenue , this sum is very important. But how important is it? Why don't you review how this
money is collected, to sec how much of this was due to unsafe dri ving and really justified, rather than
tickets given on a downgrade from a posted speed limit of 5 miles greater just a few feet from the lower
Englewood speed limit, which lasts only a few blocks and is inconsistent with speed limits miles before and
after this shon stretch of road. So I am saying, please take the ethical and moral high road . Plcasc don't
use the excuse that other municipalities do it. You then sound like a lot of the teenagers, who I listen to
quite a bit. Utilize the fine reputation, based upon your accomplishmen.ts that you have achieved and
hopefully will continue ti, achieve . Utilize your public officers in a way that they can gain respect, and we,
as citizens can respect the law and the coun system . After all, a 66 year old person feels cheated bccau5c of
this ticket. But what is worse, is what you arc teaching young adults, who lose respect for what should be
extremely important to them ... laws and justice. Thank you for your attention, he said, and now I will
answer any questions or listen to any comments you may have .
Mayor Bradshaw thanked Mr. Rothenberg . We will take this under advisement, she said.
7. U-=beduled Vlllton
(a) Larry Wheeler, 3130 South Washington Street , said I have been an Ena!ewood home
owner for two and a half years . Before I lived in Englewood, I resided for 17 years in a downtown Denver
loft . I am very happy with my choice to relocate, having fi rs t een attracted by the Civic Center
improvements and the light rail station. I have been most fortunate to receive uaistance from the
Englewood Rehab Loan Program and have appreciated the excellent services of Janet Grimmett and Steve
Ozburn. Through their guidance. I have upgraded my property to include privacy fe11ein1 in my backyard,
sewer line upgrades and a new two-car garaae. My new home is situated bee-two propeniea whole
owners like to collect non-working vchiclcs. That is why I am here tonight to addreu lhe members of the
City Council. The Englewood Code Enforcemelll Deplrtmelll hu done wonden with my neipbor to the
south . A rusted Volkswaaen frame no lonp rc5IS within view of my dinina room window . Abandoned
tires, assorted car pans and non-registered automobiles have been moved away from the proltirnity of my
south boundary. thanks to the good efforts of Officer Caroline Fuauk of the Englewood Code
Enforcement Dcpanment. Unfortunately to the nonh of my property is a homeowner who hu not been so
cooperative. Shortly after I bou1ht my home, a new owner purchued the home north of me and hu since
stored non-registered, abandoned vehicles in the drive adjacenl to my from lawn . The owner has railled
instructions from the Code Enforcemelll Depanrnclll to rec:urely cover the vehicle . Often times on a windy
day , I have found the car cover on my lawn . The weeds under the vchiclcs arc seldom mowed, and a
variety of other objects arc often stored in the bed of the current truck and the adjacent driveway . I am
faced with the expense of building a boundary fence in my front yard , but under current code rqulations I
ma y be prohibited from building a fence suitably high enough to block the view of the abandoned truck. In
the copies that I gave 10 the people, I included a couple photos of the truck that sits ri1ht next to my front
yard . I am here to encourage the City Council, he said, to lim it the len gth of time any abandoned vehicle
may be stored under wraps. It is one thing to see k temporxry storage for a vehicle while it is in need of
repai rs. It is ano 1hcr thing to allo w abandoned vehicles to take up a permanent home, particularly when
the y ar c in the fro nt of a residence or within sight of neighboring property . Possibly the City Council could
consider a permit program where owners arc forced to pay a steep regisiration fee to keep abandoned
vehicles on the ir property . The re1iS1ration fee would pay for additional manpower ID enforce the permit
program and make further progress in already on-aoin1 projects. to bcauaify the city and improve lhe
nei ghborhood character . I thank you for your time, and I encourage continuin1 efforts to beautify our fair
ci ty. I tr us t yo u will find merit in my request to limit the time that abandoned vchiclcs may be IIOnld on
propen ies . I would encouraae you to consider additional measures , he said. to require o-. of
abandoned vehicle to accepc gre ater re sponsibility for the: storaae of non-workin1 , Ulft&illered vchic lcs on
the ir propcn y. Thank you .

Mayor Bradshaw suggcslcd they forward lhis 10 lhc Code Enforccmenl Advisory Committee, as they are
the ones who come up with changes like lhis.
Council Member Moore said doesn't our recent legislation cover it?
Mayor Bradshaw answered yes, ii should cover ii, if ii was in effect It is not in effect, yet It goes into
effect July 4•.
Council Member Yurchick said there will be no storage in the front yard and ii has to be behind a solid
fence in the back yard.
Mayor Bradshaw said they can have one tha1 they are working on. ls tha1 correct? City Attorney Brotzman
said that is correct.
Mayor Bradshaw said we will forward Mr. Wheeler's 1cttcr to Council Member Yurc:hick to take it to lhe
Code Enforcement Advisory Committee. Mr. Yurchick is Council's representative on the Committee, she
said.
(b) Peter Lawrence Vana said I am lhe attorney for Jerry Beach . Mr. Beach has lived at 2340
Wes1 Harvard Avenue for over live years. Unfortunately, !here is a vacant lot attached to lhe back oflhe
property. He recen1ly moved and in order to comply with IRS regulations, he wants to 1pli1 his lot. He
doesn'I want 10 develop the property. You illlpOICld a moratorium in May of2002 for development. He
doesn'I want lo develop his property. but ifhe can'I splil lhe lot, lhen he can't 11C1l the single-family
dwelling separatcly from this vacanl lot. Now, he has spoken with people from your Plannina Department.
He has spoken wilh Harold Stitt, who I believe, is sitting in lhe audience. Mr . Beach doean'I want to
develop lhe property and he doesn'I wanl to COlllat your moratorium, although your City Attorney, Mr.
Brotzman, has not been able lo speak to him yet. It is okay to ill!pOIC a moratorium and senenDy, leplly.
for six months ... 1hat's okay. But in this particular cue, this has been aoina on since May of 2002. We are
now in 2003 and you have extended lhe moratorium unlit, sllpplllcdly, May 24•, and now we undentand
that you have extended it again. What we would like to do, in relation to his partiadar problem ... because
of lhe lax issues ... is to simply sell !he lot. We would be more than willina to pul a deed rellriction on lhe
properly, tha1 the seller would not be able to develop it until the City Council of Enalewood has, in fact,
developed regulations for that development. But we simply want to split the lot for sale only, so that he
may proceed with his life and go forward. I'll let Mr. Beach speak to you about that.
{c) Jerry Beach said thank you for >•our lime .. .I appreciate it . I don't think my desires are in
conflicl with the moralorium. in that all I desire to do is sell. bcc1111C of my capilal pins i-ot,lem. I want
10 separate 1he lot from 1he home bcc1111C, of course. it would sell easier . And if I'm not able to sell the lot
in lhc interim, at least. I wouldn 'I suffer the complete loss. So, he said, I don'I believe my interests are in
conflicl wilh the moratorium and I hope that you find ii the same way.
Mr. Vana said. like I said, we would be willing to put a deed ICllriclion on the sale. What you have to
understand. is that. basically, he has a huge lot 1ha1 goes be1wcen lwo blocks. between Harvard and
Hillside. But when Jcrry bought the property. the Hillside portion, that split down the middle of the llrecC.
was vacant . So, he doesn'1 want 10 develop ii, he doean't want to sell it to any developer, he would simply
be asking if we could have a deed that would be restrictive.
Mayor Bradshaw said at this point. I will just direct this iSIIIC to our City Anomcy's office and let diem
look al ii .
Mr. \'ana said I will be more than happy to lalk to Mr. Brouman and I will call him tomonow.

Mayor Bradshaw ellpreucd concern about die resipationl.
Council Member Nabholz said I am rat conccmed, because all of 1hac coauniuioll members work so
hard. It winds up that there arc five or sill people wllo do lhe same thina o-ud -· We downmed lhe
commission. bul I think when thinp come up in their personal liva ud C01B111i11.-s hHe ID resip.
maybe we need IDIUC a loolt ... likc you aaidNrlier thiac---, ... if we know of.-wllo ii
imercslcd that we should be allowed to inlcrvicw al a Study Session. illllead of waili91 for a sill ..ti
period.
Director Simpson said one thing is that we actually didn't doWNizc lhe COllllllia&ion. We actally still
have a fifteen member commission and we have bc,en conccmed about this for IOllle lime . This ii a very
hard working commission. It is a volunlCCr aroup that works so hard . An idea miaht be ID ndul:c die size
of the commission down to nine members and actually allow lhole nine mctnben ID ICC up ~iaee•
with volunteer members throughout the community. It miaht keep a suon,er wortina COft a,oup and dlen
allow us to keep those people there a linle bit loqcr. It i1 an idea. he aaid.
Council Member Nabholz said I'm sorry but I thoupc we had downsized. Mr . Simp,on said ,.,, we had
talked about ii , we never actually accomplished that.
Ma yor Bradshaw said maybe we could downsizc it to nine.
Director Simpson said yes. either seven or nine. Nine would probably be a ,eat l--.blc IIIPllibs Uld
what we could do is we could brina forward a proposed ordinance ud talk about lhia.
Mayor Bradshaw said the other thina is Iha! this i1 a llllunl for die hip achool padullioa ~ of
community service or a middle school hour credit. I don't kmw why we rouldn't wort wilh die four
school d1sukts in our City.

Council Member Wolosyn said how many are still on the committee ... that haven't resigned? Council
Member Nlbholz said nine or ten .
Mayor Bradshaw said maybe one more resignation would drop it to nine. My conccm is that it is a vital
committee. Maybe we could advertise tlvough Neighborhood Watch, she said, that we have vacanr.ies or
something like that ... maybe that's a venue .
Council Member Garrett said if we get a core of nine, we could, u Mr. Sio.,son suggested, uk fur
volunteers for specific projects. They would not be named to the committee.
Council Member Nabbolz said they would commit to certain projects.
Mayor Bradshaw noted that some people will participate in a one time event.
Council Member Nabbolz said that is a good idea.

(a) Approval of Ordinances on Fin;t Reading
(i) Director Ross presenled a recommendation from the Public Works Department
to adopt a bill for an ordinance approving an Encroachment Permit and Indemnity Agreement for a
retaining wall at 4496 South Delawatt. Street. He explained that the property owner bu COlllll'IICled a
segmental block retaining wall that is immediately adjacent to the sidewalk on Stanford A venue. It is 20
inches high, but because of its close proximity to the walk. it is beyond our llllhority, or staff's authority, to
administratively approve this. This person bu a neighbor that is immediately to the eut on Stanford lhat
bu done euctly the same thing. This penon wanted to level out the lot to make the backyard more usable
for his kids to play. Also, he said, with this encroachment aareem,ent. he will build a fence that's going to
be about two feet behind the back walk on top of thia wall. It really ~·1 make much -to make him
lower it or to remove it at this stage, so staff is recommending that you approve this CIICIOICbment
ap-eement. If you have any questions, I will be happy to 1111wer them. he said, and the owner is in the
audience if you have any queations. •,
Mayor Bradshaw said she .. ..,; no problem with this.

interested in for its future . We believe this document ... as my Council Communication pointed
out ... embodies a collective vision of the community and it also provides for a policy decision making
guide for bodies such as the City Council, other land use vested authorities and the City Planning
Commission. among others. As a decision making guide, it is imponant to realize that this document is
very open-ended. While it is titled a road map, it gives us the general direction that the City is to move.
based on the eJtpressed vision of the community, but it does not supply the specific details, that comes later,
when we begin to create implementation or sttategy implementation plans, that shows us eJtactly how we
are going to get from point A to point 8. This has been a very long process for staff. It has been very
eJtciting to work through this and sometimes very frustrating becaUIC of the amount of time it has taken.
When we first started this, he said. I didn't believe it would take the beacr part of two years, almost three
yean, to get this accomplished. But. the fact of the matter is. the amount of time it has taken, has resulted
in. I think. a quality document and it will stand us in aood llead for 20 years. In fact. the success of this
document. is not the fact thal we actually have it in ow hands right now, but looking back in 10, 15 or 20
years and sayina that this document really did push us and focus us in the correct direction. So, I believe
that what this will give us, is a better handle on how to address development potential within the City,
redevelopment potential within the City and keep the vision out there in front of the Council, u well as the
community. That is about the elltcnt of my commeDIS, he uid. I would like to tum the rest of the
presentation over to John Voboril, who I have to compliment, because without his able bodied assistance,
we would not have this document . It's one thing for Council to sugat to the staff to create a
Comprehensive Plan. but to actually put that document into writins, takes a lot of work and without John,
you woukln 't have this in front of you. so I will tum it over to John right now.
Planner Voboril said tonight I have pt'Cpaml a presentalion to give to Council that will give an overview of
the Comprdlensive Planning document. if thal is agreeable with the Council . The C..14Nelwmiw: Plan
document is divided into two parts. Put I is the Framework and 1h11 buically gi-the philolophy and
rationale behind the plan. It consists of tine different leCtionl: Section 1-lnlroduction. Section 2-Cumnt
Conditions and Indicators. and Section 3-Comprehenliw: Plan Vision and Gou. under the ampicel of the
Comnx>n Themes. This sets up the sta,e for Pan II of the c1ocumem, which is the Compreltemive Plan
Elements themselves. These are individual cbaplen that consilt of regional c:oopention. housina, parts
and open space. business and employment. ll'llllpOl'lali environmental quality and cultural arts. Section
I-Introduction. begins with presenting the conccp( of community UIICfl and cballenaa. The City of
Ena le wood poucuca many assets. IOfflC of which include design and quality, CClllnlity and '10llvenienc:e
and infrasuucture and networks . The City alto faces a number of cballenp and !MN include fiacal SlresS,
aging infrastructure. aging homes. working families and fragmenled goVC111111CC . The point of this ICCtion
is to get across the idea that the City of Englewood .-la IO buikl upon the Uleb that it bu in order to
overcome the challenges that the City faces. And. he said, this document has put toaemer a three-prong
stra1egy thal will help the City buikl on its 8SliCIS and then overcome its challenges. These three suategies
are known as the three R • s. which are Revitalization. Redevelopmem, and Reinvention. Revitalization
strategies are characterized by the preservation. protection and stabilization of establilhed neighborhood
areas . Redevelopment strategies consist of a replacement of deteriorated commercial and residential
struelures, with new developments that bring new residents, new employment. new shoppina and
entcnainrnent opportuni1ies 10 the City. And finally. the third suategy is Reinvention. That is a process of
gradually transforming the image of the City ofEnglewood over time . This document puts fOJWard an
image 10 seek out and obtain over the neJtt 20 years ... moving Englewood towards an image that the City
will be known as a city with a strona pcdealrian and transit orienlation. It will be known u a city tbal baa
public outdoor spaces. known for aaractive aignage. artistic design elements and developmenta
characterized by multiple stories and milled uses . Moving on to Section 2 . Section 2 praen11 current
conditions and indicators for the community . Basically. he said. it is an invesciption of the socio-

terms of open space . Parks , open space and trails arc heavily used by Englewood citizens. Demand for
recreational services is highest among seniors and young families with children. In terms of Business
Employment, Englewood's economic strength is found in the health services and manufacturing sectors .
Between 1995 and 2000, sales tax collections in Englewood outpaced the figures for the metro area .
However, since 2001, sales tax collections have dropped precipitously due to national and regional
economic weakness . In terms of transportation, this is probably a no braincr, but Santa Fe Drive, U.S. 285
and Broadway arc all over designed capacity today. The most dangerous intersections in the City arc
typically found along Broadway and U.S.285. In terms of environmental quality, the region's air quality
has greatly improved since 1990. The City possesses adequate water and wastewater resources and
facilities to support a population of 50,000. The South Platte River/Santa Fe corridor suffers from the
existence of a number of Brownfields properties. And finally, he said, we come to Cultural Arts.
Englewood has benefited greatly from participation in regional funding for local cultural arts prog,ams.
The Englewood market for a regional cultural arts facility compares very favorably with the Arvada Center
market. And now,, would like to move on to Section 3, which is the introduction of the Comprehensive
Plan Vision and Goals. It first starts out with the Vision for Englewood. Many of the items for the vision
of Englewood arc very site specific . Also, lhcrc arc a few items that are not so site specific, and apply to
the greater city as a whole . This section starts out with the CityCcntcr Englewood project and holds that up
as a model for redevelopment projects within the City. Then moves on to General Iron Works as the next
step in Englewood's process of redevelopment. Future projects that the Comprehensive Plan envisions are
areas such as the Oxford Light Rail Station, areas adjacent to CityCcnter Englewood, the Broadway
corridor, neighborhood shopping centers, Swedish and Craig Medical Centers, industrial areas, residential
areas divided into areas of stability versus areas of change, the South Plate River open space corridor, and
then also lays out visions, in general, for recreation, transportation, environmental quality and cultural arts.
The next part of Section 3 is the Introduction of the Comprehensive Plan Goals for the first time and they
arc categorized under four common themes . These common themes include the Quality of Life,
Sustainable Development, Community Infrastructure, Networks, and Resources and finally Reponal
Cooperation. And so, this is where we arc today . We have Pan I and Pan U of the Comprehensive Plan
right here in front of Council and we hope that you will approve these two pllU lonipL I would like to say
though, that that is not the end of the story. After tonight, after the Council appro-the first two pans of
the Plan, we will then be moving into Phase 3, Pan Ill of the Comprehensive Plan which is the delineation
of the areas of stability versus areas of change. Basically, be said, our plan is to lake theac goals and
objectives out 10 the greater community ... to a series of neighborhood meetings and ask the citizens, given
these goals and objectives. where in their community do they sec areas that they would like to sec
preserved as areas of stability, and what areas in their neighborhoods would they like to sec a lot of change .
Then Community Development will take their input and depict, in a map , the areas of change and the areas
of stability . Th en that will lead Community Development to the fourth phase. which is implementation.
The areas of stability and areas of change will help Community Development to focus the right kinds of
strategies on these areas. For areas of stability, the strategics will mostly be revitalization strategics, such
as rehabilitation, expansion of homes, filling in missing sidewalks, things like that. For areas of chanae,
these will be strategics more along the lines of redevelopment of brand new developments in lhcsc areas .
Bas ically , for all the area s of change, the Community Development Dcpanmcnt will put together a series of
small area p"lans that will then be brought in front of the Council , approved and then they will be added to
thi s doc ument . In conclusion, I would just like to say that this process has been quite a lengthy process , it
has been almost three years. The last time Englewood had J Comprehensive Plan process was quite a while
ag o. about 24 years ago ... 1979 . I think this has been a very anticipated milestone in Enalcwood's journey .
The committee members that served on all of our committees, did a fantastic job. I think it has come
together very. very nicely , he said and I believe this document will help ~ rvc the City of Englewood very
well over the next 20 years . Arc there any que stions ?

In response to Mayor Bradshaw, Mr. Voboril said wc will probably take a look at four different

Bradshaw suggcatcd using Broadway and Hampden. Mr. Voboril said yes, Broadway and Hampden, that is

International Inc ., in the amoum of $7 I, 133 .00. He explained that this is a COlllrlCI for a cub
receipting/point of sale system. This is what we call one of the orphan capabilities of the financial system
that wu recently implemented here in the City. Through our proc:eu of procuring financial software, he
said, we were not able to find a vendor that provided a cub receipting system. This i1 the syatem that is
utilii.ed for taking cash over the counter, for 1CC01111ting, for utility bi Ila, rec:ration expenaa and
fees ... what have you . The staff just did not feel the capabilities ... in the software that we saw, where they
were able to provide an option ... met the needs. So we went OUI to a new procuremm1, a proc:eu in RFP,
and the vendor that is being recommended to Council, PCI, wu not only the low vendor, but wu alao the
vendor that wu felt to have the belt capabilities for the system. In terna of the enhancemenla that we
anticipalc, he said, the current system wu developed 20 years qo, like all of other applications ... by a
group of prosnmmer1, of which one is remaining. and that perDI will be recirina IOOII, and we ue apin
under the specter of loss of support for that system on the hardware side u well . The system will provide
new .:apabilities. Currendy the llllff bu to, realistically, double e111« ewry thins that comes o¥Cr lhe

al Mexico and Colorado. That was because they would not move in until King Soopcrs moved in and King
Soopcrs would not be released from their lease at Cinderella City by Kravco. So there was a six month
delay and we lost all the tenants, and the tenan1s we had are the ones you see now at Mexico and Colorado.
Al !hat time, she said, they promised that they would pul in a simple store, then they would upgrade it, and
they have never upgraded it. And the store that we have in Englewood is now being used as their store for
deliveries, because we don '1 charge a food tu. And so. we have a lot of people doing their shopping by
telephone in that King Soopcrs ston:. So my hope was that I had heard they were going to redo the store at
Federal and Belleview. I was talking to the manager today, because I was shopping out there. and he said
the renovation is on hold because of some tenant issues. I said, don't even go there. We bailed King
Soopcrs out, we bought their lease at 2.5 million dollars in 1983 to get them to move and now we are
having lease issues again. so they can't expand and our Englewood citizens have substandard King Soopcrs
stores. So, I have directed staff, on a Council Request, to look into this and see what is going on with King
Soopcrs. Ironically. the leasing agent out at Belleview and Federal is Trammel Crow retail . But my
concern is, I think that they have just given us lip service and I'm uplCI that we told Wal-Mart that they
couldn't put in a Super Wal-Mart because wc said no~ because wc wac honoring the promile we
made to King Soopcrs. and yet King Soopcrs has yet to honor any promises that they have ever made to the
citizens of Englewood. So, I am really disappointed and I do think our citizens dcscrvc a bet1er place to
shop. And if King Soopcrs can't provide it, she said, I think we need to find somebody who will.
Council Member Nabholz said I thank you for that . I was just thinking about thal the other day. We have
waited and waited and we've torn down parking structures. and been promised ... like you say. We didn't
have lhe Super Wal-Man, which a lot of people wanted because of the quality of grocery shopping. So. I
am glad you have done thal, Mayor. Thank you .
Mayor Bradshaw said this has been a concern for me.
(ii) Mayor Bradshaw said the other thins that came up was the shoolin1 aa the part.
I know that it just seems wc have had a bunch of them, when maybe we have only had two. But. I had
some citizens call and just wonder if our procedura are okay . Ale we jUII runnina into a bad poup of
people? I don't know . So, I would like to put that in the form of a Council Request. We bouaht tueB.
righl? And why weren't they used? I don't understand, she said.
Director Olson asked Mayor Bradshaw if she could be very apecific in what she wants. Pahapa if you
could pul it in writing. ii might help. he said . These thinp come randomly and these are two different
kinds of issues . The fint shooting by a citixn. where our officer was shot, is that what you are asking
about? Mayor Bradshaw answered yes. how Iona ago wu that? Director Olson said I think that was back
in March .
Mayor Bradshaw noted lhat within 90 days. we have had lwo different police incidents. Director Olson
said they were 1wo different situations. The 1uy lha1 was recently shot, had warrants OUI for him for a
varie ty of thing and he is under sedation ri1h1 now because every time he becomca COIIICiOUS. he starU
anacking 1he s1aff over al Swedish. We basically have an armed auard over there 24 hours a day, so this is
a bad individual 10 begin with. The other individual was IOfflCOlle who, basically. hid almost no record and
there was a domestic dispute. The laser wouldn'I have mattered lhae, becaule he hid blrricaded hillllelf
in the house . Mayor Bradshaw said he came out shootin1. Director~ said yea. he came OUI slloolina .
So I think our procedures are actually state-of-the-an. We maintain our llalldards and our model policies
arc way above lhe norm. II is jUSI lha1 these things happen . Sometimes you don't set anythina for an
cx1cnded period of time and then somethin1 like this occurs. So. he said, I'm not quite sure how 11> respond
10 yo u. Mayor Bradshaw said my concern comes from 1wo phone calls I received from diffenal citiaeal
asking if our trainina is adequate and wonderin1 1f this was an excessive way ID IDlve a problem. I clidll't
have 1he answers for them. he said. Director Olson said I'm not sure how we will iapond. but we will
come up with something.

Mayor Bradshaw Aid we probably need to get the information out. We know that they are two sepanre
incident,. Director Olaon said this lut one is still beina inveatipted, so that hu to go to the District
Attorney. The other one 1w already gone to the Diltrict Attorney and the n,aults have come back on that, I
believe. So, Mayor Bradshaw said, we were fine and our police acted appropriately? Director Olson said
we have been cleared on just about every cue we have ever had involving us. We have stale-Of-the-an
equipment so, it is just one of those things and even with the tuers, we don't have enough to have
everybody have one for every ainale incident. So, it is aomewhat a voluntary acenario, but thia individual
just committed an usault, eaaentially, and he wu ready to take on anybody and IOllllda lilce he is atill that
way, because. like I said, he is being sedated right now over at the hoapital, until his other injuries are
cleared up. We will put something together and we will talk about it and come up with some way to do it,
even thouah we have an inveatigation going on with the second one.
Mayor Bradshaw Aid we need to gct the information out to the citizcna. Director Olson said we wiU do
what we can. but a lot of it is not for public dillribution. We will aee what we can do. Mayor Bradshaw
augeated he work with Neiahborhood Watch or aometbina lib that. Director Olton said we wiU discuas it
and get aomething back to Council.
Mayor Bradshaw said basically I wanted information about how many time5 we have had shootinp in the
lut five years and how it wu dealt with. Director Olson said statiatically we can gct that for you for sure.
We will get the results of the Dillrict Allorney'a investigation. Al a matter of fact. on thi1 lut one, Dillrict
Attorney Jim Peters was here until 11 :30 at night, being pan of the entire investigative proceaa. We will
get that all to you and results of each one. Mayor Bradshaw said thank you.

with South Suburban, there are isaues for the houses over there. with the tow lnlCU parkiq lhere and the
truh that is non-contained and it really overflows. Do we work with Soulh Suburban or do they jllll do it
all?
Mayor Bradshaw said it is their park. They pay us a payment in lieu of taaea every year. We received our
$8,000.00 check from Dave Lorenz apin. I have a concern. she said. about that whole aareen-i when
o ur water park opens . I want Englewood residents to be able to gct in. so we are p>ina to have to revisit
that with them.

Mr . Garrett sugeated that we could IIIC an adminialrative process lib we llllve for vuiancea.
Mayor Bradshaw said why not? Can that happen?
Director Simpson said we actually do have an administrative process in place !Oday. There are certain
criteria and it is a two-department proceu. Director R051i and I bod! sign off on encroachment agreements.
Mr. SimplOII ulced Mr. Rou about the criteria that brinp them forward to Council for approval.
Director Rou aaid we only have the audlority to approve f-. walls and liam. So, if we pl anythina
OUllide of thal, then we have to aUIOlllalically brina thole to Council. It has to be at leUl one fool back of
the sidewalk and then on encroachmellll lib signs. Ibey have to be eipt feet above the sidewalk. but they
can encroach all the way up to five feet to the back of the curt,. So we do have some adminillntive

Council Members Oarrea aaid what I want to aak ii thal we review thal.

the second time.

So. she said, I think we need to get the word out before summer gets away from us . I would appreciate a
meeting at Bishop, ll'h( 1 ver you can tit it into your calendar, so we can get it done as soon as possible. In
response to Director Olson, Ms. Nabholz said she thought one meeting would be enough.
(ii) Council Member Moore :
I. He said I have asked Gary Sears to look into a situation on Emerson. where the property has been
vacant for 25 years. Some neighbors have complained about it being used by transients for temporary housing.
2. He said the property at 3236 South Lafayette is a "for rent" place, it is empty and there arc
branches and everything just strewn about.
Mayor Bradshaw said that is by Charles Hay . Council Member Moore said yes.
City Manager Sears said we will do a follow-up on that.
(iii) Council Member Garrett said the last day I looked at this was Wednesday, but
the micro-surfacing on the street just west of Delaware on Quincy, on the south side, looks like it cracked open.
Council Member Nabholz said it is on my street too. It came down Cherokee in the 3000 block, and down
Cornell to Delaware. They have one huge scrape that they tried to patch with sand and more asphalt and it
is horrible. It is a bad stretch there, she said.
City Manager Sears said I will have Ken Ross take a look at both of those .
•••••
Mayor Bradshaw said the thing l forgot to mention was aoout the 2800 block of South Bannock. We do
have that mediation service and I think, probably, that is where that group needs to go.
City Manager Scars asked if this is in regard to Pat Archer. Mayor Bradshaw said yes.
Director Olson said Lieutenant Collins can talk about that, because as I understand it. so far she doesn't
want to mediate. Is that correct?
Lieutenant Collins said she has changed her mind , so we arc in the process of setting that up.
Mayor Brad shaw said she seems to be receptive to doing thi s in the futurc ... things haven 't changed, so you
are sett in g that up now. Lieutenant Collins said yes . Mayor Bradshaw said thank you very much .
13. City Manager's Report
(a) City Manager Sears said the two dates to look JI for the Public Forum arc the 24• and the
26"'. As the reception with the Chamber is the 26'", perhaps we should set the Forum for the 24'".
(b ) City Manager Sears said Council Member Moore did ask us to do a follow-up and we
ha ve listed it as a s hort-term. so the full Council will get the information on the Emerson property, bur 11 1s
a 1ery complex property. It goes back to the Project Build issues that we have had in the past. .. tluu we
don't hal'e aciymore . Bob Simpson is taking a look at some other alternatives for acquisition of that. bur
that wall probably be coming back to the Council. It is a pretty run down property that has some potential
to it. he ;Jid . but unfortunately, we don't have the revenue that we had ar one point in time.
Mayor Bradsllaw said maybe ,.e cm look al 1he Housing Audlori1y IO purchue ii. because !hey have lhe

City Council Meeting
Englewood, Colorado
Jwie 16, 2003
My name is Larry Wheeler; I have been an Englewood homeowner for two
and one half years. Before I lived in Englewood, I resided for seventeen
years in a downtown Denver Loft. I am very happy with my choice to
relocate, having been first attracted by the Civic Center improvements and
the new light rail station.
I have been most fortunate to receive assistance from the Englewood Rehab
loan program and have appreciated the excellent services of Janet Grimmett
and Steve Osburne. Through their guidance I have upgraded my property to
include privacy fencing in my back yard, sewer line upgrades and a new
two-car garage.
My new home is situated between two properties whose owners like to
collect non-working vehicles. That is why I am here tonight to address the
members of city council. The Englewood code enforcement department bas
done wonders with my neighbor to the south. A rusted Volkswagen frame
no longer rests within in view ofmy dining room window . Abandoned tires,
assorted car parts and non registered automobiles have been moved away
from the proximity of my south boundary, thanks to the good efforts of
officer Carolyn Faseruk of the Englewood code enforcement department.
Unfortunately to the north of my property is a homeowner who has not been
so cooperative. Shortly after I bought my home, a new owner pwcbased the
home north of me and bas stored oon-registaed, abandoned wbides in the
.,
..
• •
drive adjacent to my front lawn. The owner has resisted insbuctions from
the code enforcement department to ~ly cover the vehicles. Often
times on a windy day, I have found the car cover on my lawn. The weeds
under the vehicles are seldom mowed, and a variety of other objects are
often stored in the bed of the current truck and the adjacent driveway. I am
faced with the expense of building a booodary fence in my front yard.
Current code height regulations may prolubit me from building a fence
suitably high enough to block out the view of the abandoned truck . •
I am here to encourage the City C01111Cil to limit the length of tune an
abandoned vehicle may be stored untkr wraps. It is one thing to seek
temporary storage while a vehicle is in need of repairs. It is another thing
to allow abandoned vehicles to take up a pemument home. particll/arly
when they are in the front of a residence or within sight of a neighboring
property.
Possibly the City Council could consider a permit program where owners
are forced to pay a steep registration fee to keep abandoned vehicles on
their property. The registration fee would pay for additional manpower to
enforce the permit program and make farther progress in already
undergoing projects to bemuify the city and bnprove the neighborhood
character.
I thank you for your time, and I encourage continuing eft'ol1S to beautify our
fair city. I trust you will find merit to my request to limit the time that
abandoned ·vehicles may be stored on properties. I would encourage you to
consider additional measures to require owners of abandoned vehicles to
accept greata-responsibilities for the storage of non-working, unregistaed
vehicles on their property.
lbankyou.

ENGLEWOOD COLCRADO
Re : Resignation from Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission
Dear Samara:
I will resign from the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission (KEB) effective Tuesday,
June 10, 2003 . The effective date is one day after KEB's n• Anmw GolfToumament on
Monday, June 9, 2003 . I have opted to resign my commission at the present time so that my
vacaoc:y might be filled during City Council's upcoming series of commissioner interviews.
It has become clear to me in the put couple of months that I am unable to dedicate the
time necessary to adequately serve KEB . This is true especially in lipt ofmy responsibilities for
planning and orpoizing the KEB golf tournament. lo addition. I have recently taken a new job
and have become involved in other activities that will demand my time.
I have enjoyed my association with the Commission and hope to volunteer at future KEB

AGREEMENT FOR TEMPORARY LEASE AND/OR
RE-DIVERSION OF REUSABLE RETURN FLOWS OF WATER
Introduction; Parties and Purposes.
IXHIBIT A
Centennial Water and Sanitation District (Centennial) owns reusable return flows to the
South Platte River which consist of Centennial' s reusable WIier dilclwpd by Centennial' s Marcy
Gulch wastewater treatment plant (the return flows). The City of Englewood (Englewood) has a
means to re-divert the return flows at Union Avenue, and either retain them for use by Englewood or
redeliver same to Centennial . The parties intend that Englewood shall attempt to divert the return
flows, under the circumstances set forth below, and pay Centennial for the return flows if same are
retained by Englewood; and that Centennial will pay Englewood for re-directing the return flows, if
same are redelivered to Centennial . It is anticipated that Englewood will attempt to divert the return
flows at its Union A venue pump station, and either use same immediately in its Allen Treatment
Plant, or exchange same up City Ditch to Mclellan reservoir, in Englewood's discretion.
Therefore, the parties have agreed as follows.
2. Centennial to Gjvc Notice of Availabi)jty; frnglpogd Response.
Centennial will advise Englewood, on a daily buis, of the amount of available recum flows•
Englewood's Union Avenue pump station. Enpewood will advise Centennial, on a daily basis, of
available return flows Englewood will not be diverting.
3. Englewood to Attempt to Divert,
Englewood will make reasonable efforts to lawfully divert the return flows II ill Union
A venue pump station. Englewood shall have no obligation to divert: a) if diversion would impair
the necessary quality of water introduced into Englewood's war lnlalmelll plmt or inllOduced inro
City Ditch for exchange. u determined in Englewood's sole dilcRtion: b) except to lhe extent that
Englewood determines to use the return flows immediarely in ill Allen Treatment Plat. plm the
exchange capacity in City Ditch; c) to the excent that the capacity in Englewood's pumpin1 syaem
after supplying Englewood's demand is le5!1 than all of the available ftlbllll flows. Bnpwood shall
have no obligation to use the return flows immedialely in ill Allen Tl'elbDellt PlanL While
Englewood shall make reasonable efforts to divert the return flows, the pll1iel nmpize dull Vlrioua
factors may make diversion impractical, and Englewood shall ha,-e no liability to Centennial for
failure to divert . Englewood will account for return flows diverted II ill Union Avenue pump
station .
4 . Englewood 10 Exchange YR Cjtv Qirsb ,
Englewood will make reuonable effons to exchanp lbe diverted return flows up City Di1Ch
and into Mclellan Reservoir, via the pump station from City DilCh to Md.eUan Raervoir.
•
..
• •
5. Englewood's Option to Acquire Return Flows Delivered to Mcl.eUan Reservoir.
Englewood will account for the return flows delivered by exchange to Mclellan Reservoir.
Englewood will have the option to acquire the return flows delivered to McLcllan Reservoir (and
Englewood will acquire any return flows used immediately in Englewood's Allen Treatment Plant).
Within four days after the end of each week (ending Saturday at midnight) Englewood will notify
Centennial if it wishes to acquire all of the return flows delivered to Mclellan during that week.
Englewood will pay Centennial $85 per acre._ foot for all of the return flows which it acquires, and
pay the pumping costs associated with those return flows . Return flows so acquired by Englewood
shall be treated as Englewood's water for all purposes, and may be used by Englewood or delivered
to Centennial under any agreement between Englewood and Centennial .. Return flows delivered to
Mclellan as to which Englewood does not give such notice shall belong to Centennial.
6. CenteoDiaJ 's Payment for Return Flows Acgujred by Centennial.
Centennial shall acquire all return flows delivered to Mclellan Reservoir that are not
acquired by Englewood. Centennial shall pay Englewood $30 per acre foot of return flows acquired
by Centennial, plus all pumping costs associated with delivery of those return flows to Mclellan
Reservoir .
7 . Temporary Pumping Facilities from the Forebay ReserYQir Next to the Allen
Treatment Plant.
Englewood currently injects granular activated carbon (GAC) into the forebay adjacent to the
South Platte River, from which Englewood's Union Avenue pumping station pumps water to the
Allen Treatment Plant facilities. (The GAC is injected because of the current severe quality
problems in the South Plane River.) The water containing the GAC is blackened in color and
therefore cannot be directly introduced into City Ditch for exchange purpoees. 1bercfore, a
substitute supply of clear water to be exchanged up City Ditch must be pumped into City Ditch from
a forebay reservoir adjacent to the Allen Treatment Plant (not to be confuled with the forebay at the
river). (Pumping of this substitute supply will be unnecessary if the OAC injection at the river
forebay should cease.) Englewood has no pump and pipe to accomplish the pumping of this
substitute supply from the forebay reservoir. Centennial will provide and inlWl such a pump and
pipe , and hook it up to a power source, at Centennial' s sole expense. Enpwood and Centennial will
cooperate in determining the location. nature and installation of the pump and pipe. At the end of
this agreement, Centennial will remove the pump , pipe and power hookup ll Centennial's sole
expense , unless the parties otherwise agree. Centennial will restore any excavation or alteration of
the forebay and surrounding areas, at Centennial's sole expense.
8. Pumping Costs .
Englewood will re asonably determine pumping costs, which arc to include power, other
operation costs , and maintenance .

9. Jenninalion.
Either Englewood or Centennial may terminate this aareement after 5 days wriaen notice to
the other. party. If not so terminated, this agreement will terminate at the sooner of October 31, 2003,
or the cessation of flows in City Ditch below the Allen Treatment Plant. whichever sooner occurs,
unless the parties otherwise agree.
10. Payment.
Englewood will account for deliveries. Englewood will pay Centennial for return flows
acquired by Englewood within 30 days after the end of the month during which paticular deliveries
were made to Englewood. Centennial will pay Enp,wood wilhin 30 days after the end of the month
during which particular deliveries were made to Centennial.
11. State Engioeer.
Centennial will be respomible for any necesury nocice to the State 'Pagineer' s office,
as uring the State Engineer's office that its n:tum flows are indeed reusable and divenible by
Englewood, and reporting to the State Engineer's office, in coopendion with Enpwood,

Concrete Prop-am 2003
For the past several years, staff has worked towards developing a Citywide Concrete Program
addressing existing sub-standard concrete and complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) by constructing curb ramps. Due to budget constraints, the 2003 program has been greatly
scaled bad< in comparison to previous years. The 2003 program will only address locations where
citizens have communicated their needs to the city and to integrate ADA requirements with Sidewalk
Missing Links construction.
The cost of these improvements are borne by the City through monies budgeted in the Public
Improvement Fund (PIF). Costs include concrete construction, incidental storm drainage construction,
administration, englneerin& suiveyin& testin& and misceRaneous Incidentals.
Sidewall MiNlng Unb Propwn 2003
In 2001 staff iden'oifled and prioritized 16 Sidewalk Mlulng Links in the City of Englewood. The total
cost of constructing these segments was estimated to be $1,657,000. These linb represent wallcs that
have never been completed in a Paving District or by other means. Council concurred that these areas
do need walk and began appropriating funding in the 2001 Public Improvement Fund (PIF) towards this
goal.
All the funding this year for Missing Links will be used to match funding on the two TEA 21 sidewalk
projects (Belleview and University), approximately $230,000.00
FINANOAl IMPACT
Staff has combined aH three concrete projects into to one bid In order to take advantap of the
economy of scale. The City of En~ wil have the option of extencln11his contract for up to two
additional one-year periods. With Council approval each year this could dow the 0ty to take
advantage of quality work and favorable prices in future years wort.
Bids were opened on May 29, 2003. Twelve contractors obtained plans and spedftcations, and five
bids were received per attached Bid Tabulation:
Low bid received was $248,074.24 from Thoutt Brothers Concrete Contractors Inc.

COUNOL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
June 16, 2003 11 a i Encroachment Asreen,ent at 4496
South Delaware Street
Initiated By: I Staff Source:
Public Works Ken Ross Director of Public Works
COUNOL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNOL ACTION
There has been no previous Council action on this request.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that City Council approve the attached Encroachment Agreement.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTEINATMS IDENTIRED
The property owner desired to build a retaining wall along West Stanford Avenue in order
to level out the property and make it more usable for his child to play in the backyard. Staff
advised the property owner that as long as the segmental blocks were no higher than 12-
inches, staff could treat the wall as landscaping and no permits or encroachment agreement
would be required. But the 12-inches did not accomplish what ~e property owner wanted,
and the segmental block was built 20-inches high. Upon staff review of the encroachment
permit it was determined that the proposed encroadvnent exceeded staffs administrative
authority as provided in Tide 11, Chapter 3, Section 4 of the Englewood Municipal Code,
and therefore the request needed to be brought to City Council.
Encroachments for fences and retaining wa8s may be granted providing:
1. That the-wall and or fence are no closer than 12 inches from the back of wale.
2. That the wall and or fence are in compliance with aH other provisions of the Municipal
Code.
3. That the wall and/or fence are not aqacent to a street that is designated to be widened
or improved.
The proposed construction meets conditions 2 and 3 above, but fails to meet the first
condition. The wall as constructed is immediately behind the existing back of walk. This
type of installation is normaly prohibited beause:
• Pedestrians lose the ful benefit of the sidewal(, because they must shy away
from the wall, and
• Sidewalks fail over time and the dose prolCimity of the wal increases the
chance that wal may be damased In reconstrudion, and
• Retaining walls retain soil and as a result soil pressures behind the wall could
cause damage to the sidewalk.
• The Department of Justice is considering mandating that aU public sidewalks
be widened to a minimum of four feet in order to meet Americans with
Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines.
There is an existing wall that was built to the east immediately behind the sidewalk, and
since this wall is already built, it is staffs opinion that there would be little pined from
requiring the wal to be lowered or removed. We are therefore recommending City
Council approve the attached Encroachment Agreement that spells out the respunslbiltties
of the property owner from this day forth.
The attached encroachment agreement also wiN alow the property owner to construct a 6-
foot high cedar picket fence that wiU be placed about 2 feet behind the wall in the City's
ROW.

No financial impact to the City is identified.

area collections.
Since 2001, sales tax collections have declined, due to national and-regional

of each group's efforts was on a specific plan area but In the context of the community as a whole.
These committees reviewed the current Comprehensive Plan and worked with the Community
Development staff to draft goals and objectives.
The Plan Incorporates goals and objectives in seven areas: regional s_ooperatlon, housin1, parlcs and
open space, business and employment, transportation, environmental quality, and cultural arts. To
these were added introductory and background information to provide a context for the Plan.
A major ature of the Plan is the common themes section. This section demonstrates how various
goals under different topical areas relate to, connect with, and build upon one anocher, to present a
truly comprehensive guide to declsJon.malcing. This section of the Plan has been moclfled sliFIIY

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
As Englewood celebrates its 100th birthday we can't help but wonder
what the next 100 yean will bring. Clearly, Englewood has changed
significandy over the last one hundred yean. From a small settlement
Englewood has matured into a commercial, industrial and transportation
hub. More recently, there has been a reemergence of the residential
neighborhoods and the commercial core.
But what about tomonowl
While no one can predict exactly what Englewood's future will be like,
the community has taken the first steps to express a collective vision of
that future. That future is embodied in the new Comprehensive Plan.
This new Comprehensive Plan looks out twenty yean and estmlilhes
the goals and objectives that will move the community ever closer to
that vision.
How wil the new Plan accomplsh thatl
The new Plan does not paint a precise picture of Englewoocf1 future.
Rather, the Plan is a decision-making guide for officials that describes
the future in terms of quality of life, sustainable development.
community infrastructure, networks, and resources and resioflal
cooperation. Simply put, it aRows decision-makers to judge how closely
their decisions move the community towards the desired future.
Who created the Planl
The Englewood 2003 Comprehensive Plan is the result of the h.ird work
and dedication.of many individuals and groups within the community.

FOREWORD
RO DMAP ENGLEWOOD:
2003 ENGLEWOOD COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN
The 2003 Englewood Comprehensive Plan can be &kened to a
roadmap that travelers would refer to in the process of making
plans for a trip. A roadmap might help travelers to ponder a
number of possible destinations, as well as possible routes that lead
to each destination. Once a destination and a route have been
chosen, the specifics of timing and important milestones may be
determined. Roadmap Englewood citizens, stakeholders, and
decision makers, in the process of determining the future
destination forthe City, assessing options for getting there, and the
sequential steps that will lead to the achievement of Englewood's
objectives.
THE THREE R'S: REVITALIZATION,
REDEVELOPMENT, REINVENTION
The 2003 Englewood Comprehensive Plan lays out a three-part
strategy for the growth and development of the city. Collectively,
the strategies are formally entitled as The Three R's: Revbliution,
Redevelopment, Reinvention.
REVITALIZATION
Englewoods assets include established neighborhoocjs, a strong
downtown, existing community infrastructure, and ex cellent
transportation options. These assets need to be preserved,
protected, reinvested in, added to , and improved upon in order to
ensure the vitality of the city. A revitalization focus embodies all of
these strategies. The objective of revitalization efforts is to
st rengthen predominantly stable residential and commercial areas.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
Happy Birthday, Englewood! The year 2003 marks the 100th
anniversary of the incorporation of Englewood as an independent
city. The City of Englewood's birthday celebration has been
christened Englewood Jubilee II {50 years X 2). The official
Englewood Jubilee II slogan, "Old Century Chann, New Century
Vision", is a reflection of the city's philosophy of blending the city's
historical character with progressive and visionary redevelopment
projects.
As Englewood begins its second century, excitement concerning
the city's future is IPJJart!flL The Oty of Englewood has recently
completed a community-defining redevelopment project known as
CityCenter Englewood. OtyCenter replaced Cinderela Oty's
traditional, single use, retail center with a diversified, mix~se
project. The project incorporates multi-family housing. offices and
employment, a mix of smal and large retailers, and civic and
cultural uses. OtyCenter was designed with a strong pedestrian
and transit orientalion in order to tal<e advantage of the recently
completed Southwest Light Rail Transit Line and to reftect the
e>Cisting community character.
A NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR
ENGLEWOOD
The success of the OtyCenter Englewood project has generated
enthusiasm and interest in the city, and a strong desire to continue
the positive momentum towards redeveloping. revitalizing. and
reinventing Englewood. The Englewood community is intensely
interested in how other parts of the city may benefit from the
positive energy generated by the OtyCenter Englewood project.
In order to harness the exotement over the community's future, the
City of Englewood embarked on a mission to develop the 2003
Englewood Comprehensive Plan . The 2003 Comprehensive Plan
document is intended to serve as a visioning and decisiolHNlcing
guide for the City of Englewoocfs future planning efforts. The 0ty
of Englewood is pleased that the new Comptthensive Plan wll
serve the citizens of Englewood as well as the sunounding Denver
MetropoNtan Region .

ENGLEWOOD PAST AND PRESENT
In 18 58, gold was di scovere d near th e mo uth of Littl e Dry C reek
where it fl ows into th e South Plane Ri ve r at Dartmouth Ave nu e, in

prospectors. The area's fir st permanent senl e r, Thoma s Skerrill,
arriv e d in 186 4. In 1903, a larg e numbe r of scallered senlements
in th e area banded toge the r to form th e Ci ty of Englewood .
Industrial manufacturing a nd health care, re presen ted by Sw e di sh
Hospital , a nchored th e city's economy, just as th ey do today.
Today, Englewood is a ful~service community lo ca ted within th e
fir st ring o f suburban growth s urrounding th e Denver core centra l
ci ty. Th e majorit y of Engl ewood's land ar ea was developed durin g
th e post World War II e ra , b e tw een 19 45 and 1960. Th e ci ty's
residential areas in lude a mi x of hou sing styles as well as
establi she d schools, parks, recreati o nal facilities , and trail systems.
The Bro adway, U.S. 285, a nd Federal Boulevard corridors serv e th e

COMMUNITY ASSm AND CHALLENGES
A paper on aging suburban communities entitled Valuing America's
First Suburbs: A Policy "8enda for Older Suburbs in ~ Midwest.
was recently published by the Brookings Institution Center on
Urban and MetropOlitan Policy. Although the foms of the paper
was limited to flmring suburbs located in midwestem metropoltan
areas, many of the paper's findings are applicable to first-ring
suburbs located in other regions of the United States. This section
structures the review of community assets and challenges outlned
by the paper. As a first-ring suburb of the Denver MetropOltan
Area, the assets and chalenges facing first-ring suburbs outlined in
the paper can be directly related to the current situation in which
Englewood finds itself today.
COMMUNITY ASSm
The following areas are viewed as typical assets that are
characteristic of first-ring suburbs:
Design and Qualty
Centrality and Convenience
Infrastructure and Networb
First-ring suburbs tend to have mixecklse neighborhoods. with
sidewalks, stately trees, a!ld estabished parks; a b.unc:e of jobs.
services, and housing; good transit service; and houses and
buildings constructed with high quality materials and deligns.
Englewood possesses many of these smie characterisks:
W alk-ilble street layout
Established neighbomoods
Attractive downtown
Mixed-use developments
Strong balance between jobs and housing
Exceptional transit service
Conclusion: The City of Enslewood can build upon 1111d enhance the
attractive attribules and clw«:teristks of ~ c*Ys esublistted. qwllty

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
Ccntralfty and Conwplcoce
First-ring suburbs have a strategic geographical edge. The
development of second-and third-ring suburbs on the metropolitan
fringe has put the first-ring suburb in an advantageous central
position, located between new employment centers on one side,
and the traditional metropolitan central business district on the
other. The first-ring suburb's locational advantage is becoming ever
more important to commuters, as well as people desiring
convenient access to culture, health care, sporting events,
shoppin& and entertainment Englewood e~oys the benefits of a
strategic location within the Denver Metropolitan Area:
located between Denver Central Business District, and
the Denver Tech Center
Good highway access (Santa Fe Drive, U.S. 285)
Good access to South Platte River Regional Trail
System
Excellent light rail transit and bus service
Conclusion : A crmrral lc,atio,i between the two larJfest metropolitan
employment centers, fofJe(her W#h excellent m~ transit, trail, and
hislrway access, make Ens/ewood illlrl/CtM to commutm and
businesses as place to live, work, and pl.ry.
Transportation networks, water and sewer systems, and convnunity
facilities such as hospitals, schools, and parks are well established in
first-ring suburbs. The existence of critical infrastructure and
facilities is an attractive factor for new developments. Englewood
has much to offer in terms of existing infrastructure and community
facilities :
Ample water supply and additional water system
capacity
Additional sewage system capacity
Established schools, hospitals, parks, and recreational
facilities
Excellent range of city services
Conclusion : En,;-ood possesses considerable capieity fo,

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
COMMUNllY CHALLENGES
The following challenges face first-ring suburbs:
Fiscal Stress
Aging Infrastructure
Aging Homes
Working Families
Fragmented Governance
First-ring suburbs often face the challenge of providing high levels of
service and maintaining community infrastructure and facilities. The
needs of first-ring suburbs are often great, yet the w base for these
communities is often quite low. Local fiscal stress is compounded
by the community's relatively lower capacity to secure srants,
capital, and flexible financing. Englewood's dependence on sales
tax generated by the Gnderella Gty Rep,nal Mal proved to be
detrimental to the Gty of Englewood's financial condition as sales at
the mal began to decline. In order to prevent a simii. ocamenc:e
of largHCale economic deterioration, the Gty of Enalewood must
not only increase, but also diversify the local w base throuah a
sustainable development model of economic growth.
Conclusion : The City of Enslewood needs to lnaNse and dillenily
its tax base in order to continue to provide e,cc;eptjonal munic:Jpa,J
services that contribute to the city's overall qui//lity ol life .
Aging lofulbvc:turc
Pri vate commercial, office, and industrial buildings require
maintenance or replacement over lime. Unfortunately, there is a
te ndency for private property owners to defer maintenance, leading
to the deterioration of the property's ability to generate income.
Englewood faces the following infrastructure and facility challenges :
Deteriorating office, commercial, and industrial
properties
Brownfield properties
Conclusion : The City of Enslewood must worlc wth privae p,opetty
owners in order to keep up with maintenance and repl«ernent ol
asing private infruro~ to avoid citywide deterioraion md
decline creillins disincentives for reinvestmerL

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
As people gain wealth, they tend to buy larpf, more eicpensive
homes. Unfor1Unately, the ma;ortty of the houting stock found in
first-ring suburbs is over fifty years old, undenized, or functionally
obsolete by today's standards. As a result, Int-ring suburbs face
challenges lo keeping upwardly mobile households in the
community. Englewood faces a number of slmllar challenges
stemming from the nature of the city's housing s10ck:
• Majority of homes under 1000 square feet
• Lack of homes with 2 or more balhl or page sulls
• Majority of homes bulk before 1960

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
Although first-ring suburbs enjoy many advantages of localized
control and responsiveness, there are a number of disadvantages
that work against first-ring suburbs. The small size of most first-ring
suburbs severely limits the ability of these communities to grapple
with problems that are regional in nature such as traffic. Secondly,
first-ring suburbs must compete against each other for favored
commercial, industrial, and residential developments that are
needed to support high-quality city services. Finally, the land area
of first-ring suburbs is constrained, which hinders the community's
potential for growth. Englewood shares many of these challenges:
Competition for quality office, industrial, commercial,
and residential investments
Need for cooperation with neighboring jurisdictions in
solving regional problems
Limited fiscal and land resources
Conclusion: In order to p,ovick amenities that contrlbutr to • ftisher
quality of life, as we// as pursue solutions to regional p,oblems. the
City of Englewood will need to wqrlc closely with nelghborins
communities to create win-win straesies for the city and the entire
region.
CAPITALIZING ON ASSETS AND MEETING
CHALLENGES
The Englewood community has many strong, positive charilcteristics
that make the city an attractive option as a place to live, work, and
play. However, issues that do not work in the city's favor also
affect the community. The challenges facing the community,
(including fiscal stress, an aging housing and building stock,
concentrations of struggling families, limited opportunilies for
expansion, and limited ability to deal with regional problems
independently of other jurisdictions), act as buriers that signi!ic.indy
affect the assets the city has to offer (established neighbomoods
and infrastructure, central location, etc.)
Over the last thirty years, Englewood has accomplished great thinp
for its ci tizens, yet it has been .i struggle for the city to maintain the

levels of population, employment, shoppin& and recreation that
defines the overall quality of life desired by Englewood citizens.
This struggle is born out of an economic life cyde that results in a
constant depreciation of value for public and private infrastructure
over lime.
The City of Englewoocfs mission is to attract new residents,
employers and employees, merchants, and service providers to the
city. If the City of Englewood fails to attract these groups, the city
will be unable to maintain the current level of quality services and
amenities that current residents now enjoy, nor afford any
improvements or enhancements to the city's overall quality of life.
THE THREE R'S: REVITALIZATION,
REDEVELOPMENT, REINVENTION
Although the economic life cycle cannot be repealed or avoided
entirely, it is possible to lessen the boom and bust effects caused by
the economic life cycle. The strategies that wil alow Englewood to
maintain and even increase the city's relative wealth, prosperity, and
quality of life indude the concepts of revitalization, redevelopment,
and reinventioll
REVITALIZATION
Englewoocfs assets indude established neighborhoods, a strong
downtown, existing community infrastructure, and excellent
transportation options. These assets need to be preserved,
protected, reinvested in, added to, and improved upon in order to
ensure the vitality of the city. A revitalization focus embodies al of
these strategies.
The objective of revitalization efforts is to strengthen predominantly
stable residential and commercial areas. Revitalization stratea,es for
residential areas include resi,lak>l"y tools and incentive prosrams
that encourage home e,cpansion, home improvements and
rehabilitation, home ownership, property maintffl.lnce, and civic
responsibility. Revitalization stratesies for convnercial areas include
fa cade improvement programs, enterprise zone tax creclts, and
brownfield loan programs. Revitaization stratesjes iimed at
preservation and improvement can also be applied IO public

infrastructure and community resources, induding reaeation
facilities, parks, trails and open space; street.scape improvements
such as &ghting. sidewalks, benches, trees, medians; road, sewer,
and water improvements; and new transportation improvements
including new streets, transit routes, and bicyde/pedestrian
connections.
REDEVELOPMENT
Englewood is beset with a number of challenges that need to be
addressed. These chalenges indude nwsirwly productive,
deteriorating. or contaminated commerdal properties; pockets of
b&ghted and obsolete housing; a relative lack of !Odo-economic
diversity; physical limitations to expansion; and limited abilty to
independently solve regional scale problems. In order to
successfuUy meet these challenges, the Oty of Englewood must
adopt strategies focused on redevelopment
The GtyCenter Englewood project serves u an example of
redevelopment of a deteriorated, single-use development Into a
quality, mixed-use, economically divenlfled da'elopmei11 that win
hold its economic value for the long term. Areu with *'111ar
prospects for redevelopment are located in dose proximity IO the
GtyCenter Englewood project site, as wen u at lght rill tranait
station locations, adjacent to downtown Broadway, and in the
vicinity of Swedish and Craig Medical Centers.
Englewood residents will benefit from the new opportunities for
housing. employment, shopping. and entertairvnent these new
developments will bring to the city. The additional residents and
businesses that will occupy these new developments wiU senerate
income that can be applied to programs and services desisned to
maintain and enhance the city's established neishborhoods,
benefiting all Englewood citizens.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
In order ror Englewood to successfully continue reinventing ibelr,
the City or Englewood must strive to attract high quality
development These developments will have a strong pedestrian
orientation, public outdoor spaces, attractive signage, artistic design
elements, and in most cases, multiple stories with active uses below
and residential and office uses above. Furthermore, these
developments will be transit-oriented, and pedestrian-mendly.
In the process or reinventing itself, Englewood strives to become
one of the premier suburbs in the Denver Metropolitan Area. In
the future, Englewood will be known as a place people go for
entertainment, nightlife, restaurants, and the cultural arts. The city
will be known as a place to Ive, work, and play due to high-quality
transit service and mi,ced-use developments. The city wil be
recognized as an envirormentally aware, clean, and visuaHy
attractive community. Finally, the city will become an essential part
of the Denver Metropolitan Area's regional trail, open space, and
recreational system.

SECTION 2: CURRENT CONDITIONS AND INDICATORS ,
Conclusion: Demand for "for-rent' apartments In Englewood remains
strong. with low vacancy rates, and rents that. have slightly /atI1Jed
behind median household income grovvth.
Aacucd Yilvations
Englewoods residen1ial assessed valua1ion was $104 mil&on in
1995 and $137 million in 2000, a 31% increase. Englewood
consistently accounts for five percent of the residen1ial assessed
valuation in Arapahoe County and one percent of the total Denver
Metropolitan Area. As more housing units are built in the
GtyCenter and General Iron Works areas, the city's residential
assessed valuation will continue to increase.
Conclusion : Ef181e'.vood property values have remained st.able in
comparison with coun(y and meflO property values.
HOUSING STOCK
Housing stock refers to the number and types of housing units
available to Englewood residents. Few new homes have been
constructed in the Gty of Englewood until recent residential
construction at the CityCenter Englewood project Redevelopment
plans indude 438 "for-rent" residenlial units.
RakfcntW llt+s rcanbl
From 1996 through 2000, an average of 21 residential building
permits for new construction has been issued each year by the City
of Englewood. Total valua1ion for building permits remained
relatively constant from 1996 through 1999, ranging from $1 .4
million lo $2 .l million. In 2000, the total valuation of residential
building permits jumped to $31 .3 milion. The increase in residential
building permit valuation in 2000 is primarily due to the 438 new

SECTION 2: CURRENT CONDITIONS AND INDICATORS
The average household size has deaeased s&ghtly in Englewood
from 2.19 persons per household in 1990 to 2.1 S in 2000. This
overall decline may be e,cplained by changing demographic trends
that show an aging population and more non-tracltional and one-
parent households. This trend may also explain why there is an
active market for smaller housing units in Englewood.
As a general point of reference, standard household size for a
single-family home in the western region of the United States is
3.25 people. The standard household size for a town home Is 2.18
people.
Conclusion : Relatively smaller-sized Englewood homes are more
likely to attract smaller household sills than the avetil(Je household
size fcx the western United States.
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
Intuitively, parks and open space provide many IOd.1I and
economic benefits to a community. Accumulating ewience
indicates economic growth occurs where there is a hiah qualty of
life and that green space is an investment that produces lona-1em1
economic benefits. Parks and open space serve as important
community assets for Englewood.
PARKLAND
Englewood possesses over 606 acres of parks and open space.
Thi s area includes 123 acres of active parks (ball fields and
playgrounds), 122 a c res of open space or undeveloped areas, and
over 296 acres for public facilities, including the 267-acre City of
Englewood Municipal Golf Course. The remaining 65 acres include
sc hool parks and other recreational facilities . Englewoo d parks and
open space land comprises 13.7% of the toi.l city land are a.

SECTION 2: CURRENT CONDITIONS AND INDICATORS
Englewood's active park land as a percentage of total land area
(2.8%) is slightly less than the same figure for Northglenn (3.3%)
but greater than the figure for Wheat Ridge (2.6%). Open space
land, as a percentage of total city land, !!(lUals 2.8% for Englewood,
4.2% for Northglenn and 4.9% for Wheat Ridge. Compared to
Northglenn and Wheat Ridge, Englewood has a comparable
amount of active parks but significantly less open space.
A. comparison of park and open space acres per 100 residents
shows Englewood with 1. 91 acres per 100 residents, Northglenn
with 1.14 acres per 100 residents, and Wheat Ridge with 1.39 acres
per 1 00 residents.
When the golf course is omitted from the calculation, Englewood
compares less favorably. Instead of 1.91 acres per 100 residents,
the resulting figure drops to 1.07 aaes per 100 residents, which
falls below the figures for Northgleoo and Wheat Ridge.
Englewood should have at least 317 acres of public recreation land
available throughout the commurity for resident's use, acconlng to
populatioM>ased standards. Englewood has e,cceeded this standard
with a total of 606 acres of land (339 acres not including the golf
course).
Conclusion : Of the two cateso,ies of pane lands (clC:tM par/cs and
open space), Englewood's relative /adc of open space is responsifM
for bringins the total park and open space ratio beluw simll• fisures
for the other two cities.
DEMAND FOR RECREATION
A.II communities face the challenge of providing recreational
amenities meeting the demand of local residents. The foUowing

determining today's recreational needs as well as future trends.
Eollcwood Population and Pcmemr+k Jnoch
Community demographic trends are an important element in
determining what types of recreation facilities and .amenities are
necessary to adequately serve the pubic. The 2000 U.S. Census
shows that a significantly larger senior population resides in
Englewood as compared to the Denver Metrop<>litan AIH u a

Ol'EN sr-'tCE FUNDING
Communities are using a variety of mechanisms to obtain funcing
for the maintenance and acquisition of open space land. Sales
taxes, user fees, and developer impact fees are a few of the many
ways open space programs can be funded . The City of Englewood
does not currently have any open space funcing mechanisms in
place but is exploring these options for future use.
PotcotW Eoslewood Sala 111 EYWI
Arapahoe County is considering using the Adams County Open
Space Sales Tax Program as a funding model for its own open
space program. The City of Englewood may expect to receive
approximately $298,000 in open space funding per year from
Arapahoe County.

SECTION 2: CURRENT CONDITIONS AND INDICATORS ,
Conclusion : As the national economic picture slowly improves over
the longrerm, the City of Englewood's difftaJlt. f,sca/ situation will
lessen. It is impo,tmt that the City of Englewood continues to
actively plan now so that the City will be ready to seize oppo,tunities
to solidify its lon~erm fiscal condition when the economy fully
recovers.
TRANSPORTATION
Englewoods transportation infrastructure include roadways shared
by motorized vehicles, public bus service, and bicycles; light rail
transit; and off.street trails, paths, and sidewalks dedicated to the
exclusive use of bicyclists and pedestrians. Ensuring mobility while
mitigating the adverse effects arising from the transportation system
is a difficult balancing act that presents many challenges to the
community.
New Sbffl Clwfflqllqn Sgtpn
The Oty of Englewood adopted an official street classification
system in 1985 that has been continuously used up to the present
time. A number of changes have been made to the oflidal street
classification system as a result of the transporUtion study
conducted as a part of the comprehensive planning process.
North-south arterials serving Englewood include from west to e.ut,
Federal Boulevard, Santa Fe Drive (U.S. Highway 85), Broadway,
and University Boulevard. East-west arterials serving the city
include from north to south Evans Avenue, Hampden/Jefferson
Avenues (U .S. Highway 285), and Belleview Avenue. No changes
have been made to the 1985 arterial street system designations.
Lowell, Logan, and Downing Streets, have been classified as north-
south major coUector streets. East-west major collecton include
from north to south, Dartmouth, Old Hampden Avenue between
Broadway and U.S. 285, Oxford and Quincy Avenues between
Broadway and Santa Fe Drive, and Union Avenue from Santa Fe
Drive to the entrance to Centennial Park, respectively. Urion and
Q uincy Avenues, and Lowell and Downing Streets are new
additions to the major collector street grouping.

SECTION 2: CURRENT CONDITIONS AND INDICATORS .
A number of changes have been made to the 198S minor collector
street system. North-south running Fox Street between U.S . 28S
and Belleview Avenues and east-west running Tufts Avenue
between Broadway and Windermere Street have been redallified
as local streets due to low traffic volumes and frequently required
stops. Windermere and Navajo Street have been reconfipred ID

General Iron Works Site. New streets may be de11eloped atona the
South Platte River Corridor in order to offer better feCl'Ulional
access to the river, as well as improve access to industrial
properties in the area.
Conclusion: Changes to the transpo,tation S)'Stem occunin, between
1985 and the present and anticipated future changes have required
the City of Englewood to re-evaluate street dassificaion desistJatjons.
and make appropriate changes based on cum!nt conditions and

nevertheless severely congested.
By the year 2000, yearly Increases in AADT vol\,mes had resulted in
an expanded Mst of roadways at or over capacity. In addition to
Downing Street, millOI' collectors above ma,cimum capacity
included Windennere and Lowel Streets. Although Logan and
Dartmouth Streets had beCXJme more severely conlf!Sll!d during the
1990's, future capadty increases were 1tll poulble. Adcitionally,
Oxford Avenue had allo bea>me severely congested.

in 1990. TraHic volumes have continued ID lnaease, resultJns In an
expansion of~ rush hour time frame. Trafflc volumes have also
lnaeased on collecto, streets, resultlna In severe rush hour

A large amount of traffic apeed data has been collected for
colector and residendal streets within the Oty of Englewood
between 199S and the present. Speed data is normally analyzed
using the 85th percentlle apeid u a benchmark ID determine the
speed at which 85,C, of driven feel comfortable driving on a

Colector and residential streets with more than one ocwrrence of
85th percentile speeds of 3S miles per hour include FrankMn,
Dartmouth, Oxford, Logan, Oilkson, Prentice, and Union. Streets
with one oca,rrence include Zuni, Delaware, Huron, and
Windermere.
Crash data indicates that arterial intersections primarily serving
adjacent commercial land uses are the most dangerous in the dty.
Intersections with the highest number of allhes tend to be
dustered along Broadway in the vicinity of downtown between
Danmouth and kenyon Awnues, and US 285, between Clarkson
Street and Santa Fe Drive, serving the OtyCents area. The worst
of these intenections are Dartmouth/Broadway, US 28S/Broadway,

OtyCenter Englewood via the Little Dry Creek Trail.
The City of Englewood also recognizes the need to update the off.
street bicycle trail system with additional routes, improved signage,
and bicycle signal detector loops. Additional needs indude bicycle
parking raclcs and associated infrastructure in commercial areas and
adjacent to LRT stations.
Englewood offers a reasonably good system of pedestrian
infrastructure and connections through a system of sidewallcs that
compliment the predominant grid pattern of streets found in the
city. However, major arterial ~ays present unattrave banien
to pedestrian traffic. A number of connections to OtyCenter
Englewood across U.S. 285 and Santa Fe Drive •e envisioned.
The City of Englewood will continue its program of filling in missing
sidewalk segments. Other potential sidewalk Improvement
opportunities indude widening sidewalks, and prollicing pedestrian
amenities such as medians, ighling. benches, landscape planters,
bus shelters, and garbage receptacles.
Conclusion: The City of Englewood is committed to a quality of Ule
transportaoon philosophy that fflll)hasizes the development of a
comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian system.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALllY
Envirorvnental quality issues are usualy regional in scope. However,
improving envirorvnental quality also depends on actions at the
local level. The City of Englewood aclcnowledges and accepts its

problems.
Air Duality
Over the years, the Denver Metropoitan Area frequently violated
standards for carbon monoxide, ozone, and particulates. In order
to effectively deal with the problems associated with the resi<>n's

Englewood residents have often complained about noticeable tastes
and odors emanating from the city's tap water. The City of
Englewood Utilities Department is committed to improving water
quality . The Utilities Department recently installed a new system
that absorbs compounds responsible for the tastes and odors that
are most noticeable during low river flows.
The City of Englewood is committed to water conservation. The
Utilities Department is currently engaged in a program to replace an
non-metered water accounts with metered accounts by the year
2009, in accordance with Colorado State Statutes. Non-metered
accounts charge customers with flat rates for water, while metered
accounts charge according to the amount of water used. Metered
accounts will provide an incentive to conserve water. The Utihties
Department also engages in water conservation education through
the City's website. The department currently publishes a voluntary
watering schedule, allowing landscape watering to occur every third
day . Englewood residents responded to the drought concltions that
occurred in 2002 by decreasing water usase by twenty percent,
avoiding the need for mandatory watering restrictlom.
Conclusion : Conservation p,osrams and the volunt.aty eHort5 of
Englewood citizMS ha~ resulted in a twenty PffCffll ,eduction in
water usage durins the recent drousht A combination al senior
water rights, adequate supply laciliaes, and conse,vation

Cmrldd
The City of Englewood hilS t.lken a leadenhip role in developing
brownfield remecialion and revitaution prog,ams. Over lime, a
large number of properties lilUated in the Soulh Platte River/Santa
Fe Drive corridor have been de)raded by environmental
contMllination from industrial and c:ornmefCial operalions, which
hinder the prodUCM use of these properties. A 1999 pilot study
entitled Review of Known Erwironmental Concitions fo, lhe South
Santa Fe Drive Corridor re-vealed 30 instances of adverse
environmental c:oncitions located on a total of 23 ,epante
properties. Soil contamination WilS found to be perva!lve
throughout lhe corridor. Le.aling above-and below-poun storap
tanks fo, petroleum-based products comprombes soil and
groundwater. Finally, ··lhere are a number of chlorinated solvent
plumes that Row in a variety of directions away from lhe corridor .
. In 1997, the City began a program fo, brownAeld remeciation and
revi talization efforts using grants from the Environmental Protection
Agency. Funds were used to conduct site assessments fo, three
high profile projects, which included the General Iron Worb site,
Centennial Park expansion area,, and the ThomilS Plating lite.
oluntary Cleanup Plans were developed fo, General Iron Worb

annual Leaf and Tire carnpaip began in 1993 and has colected a
total of 6,620 cwic yards of leaves, and 1,277 dres from 2, 172
participants. Good Neighbor Days provides Englewood retidents
with an opportunity to dispose of oversized and unwanted trash at
a reduced rate, with an average annual participadon rate of 105
households. The multi-jurisdictional South Platte River Cleanup
project focuses on cleaning up a twenty-five mile stretch of the
South Platte River. The Photometric lnde,c, sponsored by the

Englewood Cultural Alts Center Association in order to realize the
goal of developing a regional cultural arts institution and cultural arts
center fadlity.
Mad!ct Alu Anlbw for an Eodewood Cultural A111 Center
The Englewood Cultural Arts Center Association, with the assistance
of the Englewood Oty Council, commissioned a study through BBC
Research and Consulting in the Fall of 2000 to determine whether
the potential market for an Englewood cultural arts center would be
strong enough to help support the facility . The study used the
market for the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, a similar
sized facility in the Denver Metropolitan Ana. as a direct
comparison for the potential Englewood market The study
projected the size of a potential Englewood market, and compared
this market with the Arvada Center market in terms of total
population, population over age 40, total households, median
household income, and educational attainment.
Usi ng data collected by the Arvada Center to determine primary
and secondary market size, the primary market area for the
potential Englewood market indudes Southern Jefferson County,
South Denver, Southwestern Arapahoe County, and northern
Douglas County, with the secondary market expanding to
encompass the entire southern half of the Denver Metropoitan
Area. These areas have historically shown high rates of attendance
at cultural events throughout the metro area.
The combined primary and secondary Englewood markets include a
total population of 1.4 million , compared with 1.6 million for the
Arvada Center market The Englewood primary market (794,054) Is
larger than the Arvada Center primary market (710,192). The

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN VISION & GOALS
INTRODUCTION
Community assets present opportunities that Englewood can
improve upon and use in efforts lo increase new private
investments in the community. Community deficiencies present
challenges lo the community that require strong determination and
a willingness lo take risks, in order lo guarantee successful change,
and a better quality of life for Englewood citizens. Such
opportunities and challenges also require imagination, the ability lo
see beyond what is, lo what could be. The ability to see into the
fu ture is far from perfect, but signs of tomorrow can often be found
in the present, sometimes in neighboring communities, sometimes
in other regions, in cities large and small.
The purpose of this section is to imagine a vision of the future for
the Englewood. The vision for the Oty must be grand enough to
inspire the community, yet be rooted in the reality of the place,
time, and conditions that e>cist today. The famous quote of Dmiel
Burnham, author of the Plari of Chingo, and father of modem
planning. speaks to the need for a vision that is large enoush to
provide the necessary inspiration for accomplishing great tl)ings :
~Make no little plans. They have no rMak to stir men's blood and
probably wiN themselves not be reaized. •
THE VISION FOR ENGLEWOOD
Durin g the last three dendes, Englewood began a
long 1ourne that would profo uncly change the Gty
from what it had formerly been defined by, and give
rise to a potentiall y different, yet brighter future . By
the start of the 19 O's, Englewood was no longer a
new uburb al the o utskirts of a large central city.
-subu rban areas ha d sprung up further south,
drawing in t erest and investment. Older, first-ring cities,
including En glewood, w ere o h en overlooked in tenns
o f new investment or int erest as ill place to live, and
the Englewood was no exc epbOn. Many c:omrnemal

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN VISION & GOALS
CllYCENTER ENGLEWOOD: FORERUNNER OF
ENGLEWOOD'S FUTURE
The city's journey into the future began a few short years ago in the
passing of an era and the subsequent struggle to find the city's
future. Finding that future was not easy. It is often difficult to
imagine a new vision for a place that we have penonally known for
so long. Early ideas for the rebirth of the former Onderella Oty
Regional Mall site involved a continuation of a single-purpose retail
use, but in a form that reflected present day retailing trends.
However, a number of city leaders dared to dream and demand
more for the site. These visionaries could foresee the opportunity
associated with the corning of the Southwest LRT Line, as well as
the prospect of turning a key structure of the former site into a new
asset for the city. They believed the redeveloped site should not
resemble a typical single-use retail development found in every
American city, but instead should be something unique. The city's
leadership dreamed of a full.service, mixecklse center that would
generate activity both day and night They looked to aeatl! a sense
of place, a place where people wanted to be, and a place that was
alive with activity.
The eventual concept for the site caled for a mixecklse
development that would take adv-. of the opportunity
afforded by the adjacent light r• inveslmenl This idea had been
utilized in a number of American cities with heavy investments in
mass transit, but was completely new for the Denver Metropolitan
Alu. The entire metro are;a watched the pioneering effort closely.
The c onc ept induded muhi-farnily housing. office space, a
tr ansi tional commerci al streetscape, civic uses, and a public piazza
that would serve as a pubic gathering and performance space.
To day, CityC nt r Englewood is complete. The multi-family
ho using has filled up. A diverse collection of smal restaurants and
re tailers has set up shop along Englewood Parkw;ay . The large retail
stores a re e11oying large numbers of shoppers. Every day, the
pro Ject seems to attract a few more people than the day before,
increasing the liveliness of the plice .

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN VISION & GOALS
GENERA! IRON WORKS: THE NEXT STEP TOWARDS
THE FUTURE
The energy of OtyCenter Englewood has begun to spill out into
other areas of the city. The old General Iron Works site located in
north Englewood is currently being deaned up for a future Ngllt rail
maintenance facility, a new light rail station, and a mixed-use,
transit-oriented viHage. The success of the General Iron Works
project will demonstrate the desirability of Englewood as a place to
live, work, and play. The project will serve as a catalyst for
redevelopment to occur in areas cirecdy adjacent to LRT stations.
The success of the General Iron Works project represents the next
step in the renaissance the Oty is now experiencing. which began
with CityCenter Englewood. However, the story does not end
there. The CityCenter Englewood and General Iron Works proiects
are precursors of opportunities for adcitional redevelopment
projects throughout the Oty. In general, these opportunities wiH be
near the Oxford LRT Station, in areas invnediately adjacent to
OtyCenter Englewood, and along the Broadway Corridor.
FUTURE HORIZONS FOi lEDEVELOPMENT
Oxfon( LIJ SWioo
The prospects for development in the areas around
the Oxford LRT Station are promi,ing. Land uses
and properties that have been stagnant or in decline
for a number of ye ars may give way to vibrant new
commerci al uses attracted to the area due to the
pro xi mity of a light rail transi t station and the
presence of the Englewood Recreation Center and
En gle wood Golf Course.

and the disbict west of OtyCenter Englewood from Santa Fe Drive
to the South Platte River. Single land use and automobile-oriented
highway developments that offer lttle more than the aervice of
basic functions, may give way to a development pattern timilar to
the mixeckise type found in QtyCenter Englewood.
Future projects in these areas wiR likely include higher-density
residential, office, retail, .nd other employment uses that will
reinforce the pattern set at QtyCenter Ensfewood and bring new
residents, employees, and busineaes to the city. Of the three
dlsbicts, the cflStrict located east of OtyCenter Englewood ranks as
the Qty of Ensfewoocls highest priority due to its strategic location
between OtyCenter Englewood and downtown Broadway and
corresponding potential to strengthen both of these conunerdal

Broadway corridor wil see a transitioning to businesses that provide
quality goods and services, generating sales tax revenue for the Oty
of Englewood, and employment opportunities and shopping
amenities for Englewood citizens.
The City of Englewood also envisions the
revitalization of neighborhood shopping centers
throughout the city. Examples of neighborhood
shopping centers in Englewood include Centennial
Shopping Center located at Belleview Avenue and
Federal Boulevard, and the Shops at Hampden
Avenue and Logan Street The Oty ~vors to
·study current conditions found at the city's various
neighborhood shopping centers in order to identify
opportunities for cosmetic upgrades, improved retail
mix, fiscal enhancements, and center e,cpansion. The
Oty will work with shopping center owners to mue
revitalization efforts feasible.

The area surrounding the Swedish and Craig Medical Centers alto
presents opportunities for the city. Areas with high redevelopment
potential include the district south of the medical complex from
Old Hampden Avenue to U.S. 285, the area west of the medical
complex from Logan Street to Broadway, and properties currendy
controll ed by Swedish and Craig Medical Centers. The City of
Englewood wiA work together with both Swedish and Craig Medic.ii
Ce nters to develop plans for new improvements to the medical
facilities, as well as for the mix of housing and services surrounding
the area. The City encourages new bio-rnedical rel.ated businesses
that will benefit from a location near the two hospii.ls. The Oty
also sees a potential for adcitional businesses that wil provide
goods and services to hospital employees, patients, and visitors.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN VISION & GOALS
Residential areas that have not fared as well over the
years in terms of property maintenance will require
the development of comprehensive neighborhood
revitalization and redevelopment plans. These plans
will target more substantial inveslments in housing
rehabilitation as well as new neighborhood housing.
The creation of a new Unified Development Code
will give owners, developen, contractors, and
planners' greater predictabitity in designing residential
plans.
Englewood citizens feel strongly about the character
of their existing neighborhoods. It is important that new residential
investments and housing rehabs are designed to be compatible and
consistent with surrounding residential neighborhoods. Residential
designs should reflect the existing character of the neighborhood.
Design features that enhance Englewood's residential character
include front porches, garages located in the rear, and walk-able
pedestrian ways.
rw and PPCD Serr South Plttte llycr
The City of Englewood is poised to move forward
with visionary plans to restore lands adjacent to the
South Platte River in order to increase the amount of
regional open space and trail connections. The South
Platte River corridor provides a number of
opportunities for the development of amenities such
as additional trails, wildlife viewing areas, and active
recreational parks. Other lands along the corridor will
benefit from a restored river habitat and may attract
new office, employment, and residential
developments to this corridor. The city's entire
inventory of parks and open space wiD be tied
together through the use of connecting commuter and recreational
trails wherever possible.

extensive off-street bicyde route system, as weH as infrastructure
conducive to bicycling such as signal detector loops, detailed route
signage, bicyde parkin& and air stations.
New pedestrian connections will play an important role in the
transformation of areas adjacent to OtyCenter Englewood,
particularly the areas across U.S. 28S and Santa Fe Drive from
CityCenter. These connections may take the form of bridges or
tunnels that will allow easy access to the Englewood LRT Station.
The area across Santa Fe Drive from OtyCenter Englewood could
potentially become the site of a regional cultural arts fadlity, along
with office, and residential uses. The site would open GtyCenter
Englewood to a revitalized South Platte River open space and
recreational amenity. A connection to the south side of U.S. 28S
would allow direct access to GtyCenter for the employees of the
new Gart Sporting Goods headquarters, as well as set the stage for
attracting similar new employers to Enp!wood. A number of
surface parking areas and highway-oriented uses may give way ID
intensive office, retail, and residential uses.
Englewood wil strive to become the most enviionmenldy rNlft
and groundbreaking convnunity in the metro ara in terml of the
envirorvnent Programs designed to elrninate household hu.ardous
waste, regular household debris and trash, promote recycina and
compostin& remove unsightly graffiti, reduce lght po1ution.

will create a positive image of Englewood as a green community,
and inspire other nearby communities to join Englewood in efforts
to provide solutions to regional environmental problems.
Cultural Arts
Englewood has a strong cultural arts leadership that is quite aw
in the community and heavily involved in the success of OtyCenlef
Englewood. The Englewood cultural arts community detires lo
elevate the status of cultural arts in Englewood to a major playef

cultural arts in the Denver Metropolitan Res,on. The centerpiece of
the cultural arts community's goal is the establishment of a

REGIONAL COOPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The Denver Regional Council of Goverrvnents (DRCOG), of which
the City of Englewood is one of forty-nine members, adopted the
MetroVision 2020 Regional Plan to serve as a regional context for
local govenvnent decision-making. The plan identifies the following
interdependent core elements that will have a broad effect on the
region's quality of life.
1. Extent of Urban Development
2. Open Space
3. Free-standing Communities
4. Balanced, Multi-modal Transportation System
5. Urban Centers
6 . Environmental Quality
The City of Englewood Planning Commission adopted four of the
six core elements that directly applied to Englewood, as an
amendment to the 1979 Comprehensive Plan. The four core
elements adopted indude open space; a balanced, multi-modal
transportation system; urban centers; and environmental quality.
The City of Englewood recognizes the need to cooperatively wotk
with other local goverooients in the Denver Metropoltan Rep to
ensure that the entire metropolitMI area maintains and continues to
enjoy a high quality of life. The City is committed to taking
advantage of opportunities to attract quality urban development
near transit stations !Mt wil help achieve goals to preserve open
space, provide economic development potential and greater
housing choice, and reduce air poHution. The City is also
determined to take a proactive approach to efforts to preserve ;and
restore the natural ecology of the South Platte River corridor as an
open space amenity and an envirorvnental water resource.
In order to meet its regional obfigations and responsibilities, the

SECTION 5: HOUSING
INTRODUCTION
A home is as basic in our lives as food and clothing. Our homes
provide us with protection and privacy and often much more. A
home in a community like Englewood provides a sense of
belonging. perhaps the common ground for our connection to
other people who live with us or nearby. Whether large or small,
functional or flashy, our homes are varied to meet our needs.
As our housing needs change during our lives, we may choose
different types of housing. We may want to maintain our
connection to the community even while moving to a home that
better matches our needs. Providing the variety of housing
required to meet the needs of singles, couples, and families with
children is important to maintaining community. Likewise, the
encouragement of home ownership, as well as property
improvement and maintenance, is aitical in fostering civic pride
and community well-being. Efforts to ensure sensitive, hisfHluuty
neighborhood designs, including both architectural elements and
public improvements, will help to increase community quality of
life. Finally, providing opportunities to live and work at the same
location wiN result in tangible benefits to individuals as well as the
local and regional community.
Englewood is one of a number of older, first-ring suburbs 111.t grew
up around the metropolitan core city of Denver. Originally, these
ci ties were primarily bedroom communities with local retail centers
that attracted a population of families with children looking for
a ffo rdable housing in a less dense, urban setting. Over time,
however, the role of first-ring cities began to change as new
co mmunities developed on the outer urban fringe and took on the
fi rs t-ring s uburbs' previous role.
To d ay, maturing first-ring suburbs, induding Englewood, have
d eveloped into more diversified, full-service , urban centers, with
housmg. employment, and a ful array of commercial goods and
serv ices. The Englewood community includes both stable
neighborhoods where little change is expected in the foreseeable
futur e, and areas that are either presently experienci11g or likely to
undergo transition due to a variety of factors. These factors may
mclude physically aging and deteriorating structures, obsolescent

SECTION 5: HOUSING
ownership levels in the city, as well as assisting airrent
homeowners with home improvements. Understanding housing in
Englewood requires looking beyond housing type to housing tenure
and maintenance. About two thirds of Englewood homes are
single-family dweHings of which about 85% are owner-occupied.
Of the one third that are multi-family homes, less than 3% are
owner-occupied. Taken together, 50% of Englewood homes are
occupied by their owners. Nationally, about 66% of homes are
owner-occupied. The City is committed to increasing Englewood
owner-occupancy rates to more closely reflect national rates.
Whether owned or rented, houses built more than forty years ago
require major renovations to major systems, including electrical
service, plumbing, furnaces and major appliances. Maintaining the
community housing skid requires investments in roofin& windows,
fixtures, flooring, and insulation.
The City of Englewood's encouragement of mixed-use, residential
neighborhoods with business and employment opponunities is
e,q>ected to enhance the quality of life localy and regionaly by
reducing commuting times and road congestion, and improving air
quality. As worlcplace and housing needs change, so too must the
notion of strictly separating those actiwties. The Oty desires to
ellpand the• range of appropriate worli/ive opportunities throughout
the community.
Reinforcing convnunity identity using historical, cultural and
architectural references in new development contributes to
community quality of life and sense of place. Community pride is
enhanced with both private and public effort Encouraging
homeowners to maintain or add on to their homes for their
comfort, safety, and convenience will help the city to maintain its
image as a desirable place to ive and wort. Owe pride is fostered
when local designs are emulated in new buildings. As public
investments are made in infrastructure, Englewood should identify
opportunities to include materials, designs, and historical or cultural
th emes. Perhaps the greatest opportunities for awe lfe in
Englewood wil be in the public spaces: the plazas, squares, partcs
and streets that get daily use as the community strengthens the
pedestrian orientation that in turn encourages interaction between
ci ti zens.

PARKS AND
OPEN SPACE
SECTION 6: PARKS & OPEN SPACE
INTRODUCTION
Parks and open space arguably provide the greatest amenity for the
greatest number of people than any other public lands or facilities
for highly urbanized areas. Parks and open space provide citizens
with recreational opportunities as well as places of rest, relaxation,
and natural beauty. The dedication of parks and open space is also
instrumental in protecting sensitive habitats for wildlife and native
plant species. Community facilities such as recreation and senior
centers help to complete a full, comprehensive range of
recreational activities. Finally, a complete system of bicyde and
pedestrian trails enhances all of the other elements of the park
system, by connecting each element or facility to the others. An
extensive, high-quality park and open space system is an asset that
increases property values and adds to a community's quality of life,
which in turn will attract new residents, retail businesses, and major
employers to Englewood.
Englewood has historically embraced and acknowledged the
importance of parks and open space. The present-day site of
OtyCenter, and formerty the site of the Onderela Gty Resional
Mall. was originally developed as the city's only public park.
However, this large park was not conveniently located to serve all
parts of the city. In the mid 1960's, a shopping mall developer
approached the Gty of Englewood with a proposal to purchase the
strategically located park in order to build the Onderella Gty
Regional Mall. The city's voters approved the sale, with the
proceeds to be used to acquire and develop parkland in each
residential area of the city. In addition to the development of the
current neighborhood park system, the City also invested in
community facilities such as the Malley Senior Center, the
Englewood Recreation Center, the Oty of Englewood Municipal
Golf Course, and a number of athletic fields. The Northwest and
Southwest Greenbelts were developed as open space drainage
ways .
TI1e City of Englewood recogmzes the need to oontinualy monitor
and assess the City's relative success in providing an optimum level
of recreational pillk facilities and services to its citizens. The
demand for types of services changes over time with the wtes and
interests of the general public. New parks and recrutional fdties

should be designed with flexibility in mind, in order
to more easily adapt them to new uses that are in
demand in the future. Additionally, the Oty should
pursue a wider variety of park dassifications for the
community's park and open space system.
Because the vast majority of the land in Englewood is
fully developed, the City of Englewood faces
constraints to acquiring new parklands within the
city's boundaries. The Qty recognizes the need to
work closely with other jurisdictions in providing land
for parks and open space beyond the city's borders.
It is necessary for the Oty to view both current
resources and needs for recreational facilities on a regional scale, in
order to meet its regional responsibilities and obligations as well as
avoiding duplcation of services.
Funding considerations also dictate that the Oty of Englewood
should take a more imovative and cooperative approach to parks
and open space acquisition. The Oty recogrwzes the necessity to
seek alternative funclng methods and ~ in order to make the
acquilition of land lor new pans and open ..,ace more feasible.
The Oty is aso com11ined to the use of aeaM IDOis to forge
cooperative agreements wi1h public and private parties that
effectively reserve new lands for open lf)Ke.
Perhaps the Oty of Englewood's most ambitious and
important parks and open space goal is to preserve
the South Platte Ri ver corridor as an urmn greenway.
The corridor has historically suffered from
envirormentaly degrading uses ~cent to the river.
Many of these propenies are not utilized to their
highest and best use, and have left a lepcy of
brownfteld conwrinalion. It is in Englewoocfs
interest to restore the river as an open space and
wildlfe tuibi~t conidof, R~ ·toralion wil enable the
South Platte River corridor t l serve as a lipiunt
amenity In Enatewood's park and open space ~tern,
and as a catalyst for the aene,al rede'lelopment and
cleanup of the a4acent au.

SECTION 6: PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
The City of Englewood recognizes the added value to be gained by
each park or civic facility through their comprehensive connection
to the larger park and open space system. These connec:1ions will
be accomplished by way of bicycle and pedestrian trails, green
belts, and waterway corridors. The general development patterns
of the exisling city will often prevent the ful achievement of 11iis
goal. However, a number of gaps in the system of trail connedons
can be innovalively developed and designed to connect major
parks and civic facillies.
Parks, open space, and recrealion planning must become more fuly
integrated with all aspec15 of future city plans. The Oty of
Englewood recognizes the opporturilies for both project and park
system enhancement derived from the early consideration,
evaluation, and incorporation of parks and recreational facili~ into
future development plans. A conscious effort must be made to
evaluate development plans for housin& transportation, utilties,
environmental remediation, economic development, and a,hural
facilities in tenns of enhancing the overall park system.

SECTION 7: BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT
INTRODUCTION
Regional commerce has an enormous influence on how, where,
when, and why cities develop. Healthy urba., communities are
driven by vibrant and diversified business sectors. Businesses
provide goods and services for both export and local consumption,
opportunities for personal profit or fulfil&ng employment, and an
economic base for public services, which all contribute to a higher
quality of life in the community.
Englewood is a full-service city with a large and dynamic base of
businesses relative to its size and status as a first-ring suburb of the
Denver Metropolitan Region. The primary business secton of the
city's economy have historically included reuil trade, industrial
manufacturing, and healthcare goods and services. These three
economic sectors will continue to play a strong role in Englewoocts
economy into the foreseeable future. However, it is highly
probable that Englewood's three chief economic sectors will
undergo pressures for change and adaptation in an inausingly fast-
paced, hig~tech, post-industrial economy. During the last twenty
years, many pressures for change and adaptation have affected
both the business community and the convnurity at large. The
retail sector witnessed the decline and death of the Onderella Oty
Regional Mall, as well as its rebirth as the rnixeckise OtyCenter
Englewood development Large international industrial operations
such as General Iron Works and Alcoa have disappeared, while
smaller-scale, loca&zed industrial firms have continued to thrive.
Swedish Medical Center has been transformed from a non-profit to
a for-profit enterprise, and the overall healthcare secta, has
continued to grow.
The City of Englewood recognizes the important role business
c ontinues to play in the overall success of the community. The Oty
is committed to providing an economically viable environment that
will support a diverse base of businesses. Active economic analysis
on the Oty's part will allow the Oty to develop stratesjes to rec.in
competitive businesses, and a ttract new types of businesses that H
a vac ant niche in the community in order to create a more
balanced mix of complementary goods and services.

TRANSPODATION
SECTION 8
TRANSPORTATION
SECTION 8: TRANSPORTATION
INTRODUCTION
Transportation can be most simply defined as the movement of
people, goods, and services. People move between their homes
and places of work, education, shoppin& services, and
entertainment to fulfill their needs. Goods and services must be
moved through the city to various locations, as wel as to and from
other communities. Goods and services not produced within the
community must be imported into the community as well. The
manner in which the transportation system is designed to function
yields both positive and negative impacts on the livability of the
community and qualit, of life. The Oty of Englewood is committed
to identifying ways in which negative aspects of the transportation
syst1::m can be diminished. The City also seeks to capitaze on
opportunities to positively enhance both the transportation system
and the physical form of the community as a whole.
The Oty of Englewood's ability to affect the ,esional transportation
system is limited. Freeways i'ncluding Santa Fe Drive and U.S. 285,
as well as principal arteriills such as Broadway, Univenity, and
Belleview, serve as high volume convnuter routes through
Englewood. These commuter routes are already at peak capacity
, during the morning and evening rush hour. Scarce federal and state
transportation dollars are allocated through the Denver Regional
Council of Governments, of which the Oty of Englewood is but one
of forty-nine communities represented. The majority of these
corridors cannot feasibly be expanded through widening due to the
limited, ellisting right of way, and the fully developed land uses on
either side. Automobile traffic volumes are forecasted to increase
substantially over the next twenty years due to regional population
growth . Increasing traffic volumes are already appearing on
collector streets and will continue to worsen in the absence of
mttigating actions.
Although the ability of the Oty of Englewood to finance and
construct large-scale road capacity improvements is relatively
~mlled, the city enjoys the advantages of the recently completed,
regional Southwest Light Rail Transit (LRT) Une. l.Jght rail has the

tines afford. The generalized future land use plan for the city calls
for the location of pedestria~ented, mixed-use redevelopment
projects along primary mass transit routes. The Oty also recognizes
the need to maintain traffic patterns that are compatible with
existing land uses in areas of stability, encourage land uses that
reduce dependency on automobiles in new developments, and
maintain an adequate parlcing supply for all mixed-use cistricts.
Key to the relative health of the transportation system and
community in general is the goal of promoting a quality of life
transportation philosophy. This philosophy seeks to create an
envirorvnentally attractive, pedestrian-friendly community. The Oty
of Englewood recognizes the potential benefits derived from the
creation of continuous transit and non-motorized connections
between various business and mixed-use and residential cistricts. In
order for such connections to draw people, they must be designed
with physical attractiveness and safety in mind. Furthermore, the
incorporation of high-quality, aesthetic design elements in al MW
transportation facilities wiU add to the community's quality of life.
Finally, the conceptual vision of Englewood as one convnunity,
seamlessly connected through the design of the transportation
network is established as a major tenet of 1he transportation plan.

SECTION 9: ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
INTRODUCTION
The concept of environmental quality has evolved over time to
encompass a wide range of ideas, practices, regulations, and values.
Fundamentally, the environment refers to the earth's natural systems
that surround us and sustain our very existence. These systems
include the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land from
which our daily food comes. The concept of resource conservation
developed to address the use of natural resources in ways that sustain
or replenish the natural resource over time. The notion of the
romantic beauty of nature and the unspoiled qudties of pristine
wilderness has provided inspiration for the efforts of envirorvnentalists
and local citizens to preserve special places and keep local streets,
waterways, parks, and neighborhoods in a dean and orderly state.
The concept of envirorvnental quality can argwibly be traced to the
ideas of a number of renowned American thinkers, including. but not
limited to, George Perkins Marsh, Henry David Thoreau, John Muir,
Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot and Aldo Leopold. Durina the
1960's, the seeds planted by th ese figures began to take root in the
American !)Ide consciousness. In the decades that folowed,
landmark lqjslalion setting standards for water and air qualty, and
formal review of federal projects for the mitig,ation of adverse
environmental impacts, was passed into law. At the same time, pass
roots efforts to beautify neighborhoods and improve environmental
quality at the local level also took hold across the country. The trend
toward local environmental awareness and activity was manifested in
Englewood through the establishment of the Keep Englewood
Beautiful Commission (KEB). Over the years, c:onvnunity volunteers
have committed countless hours to ICEB activities, including
household hazardous waste round up,, tire and leaf drop offs, South
Platte River cleanups, and tree plantings. Today, the Oty of
Englewood recognizes the contributions and valuable community
service rendered by KEB as well as the value and benefit of
emnronment.v planning for the future .
KEB and the City of Englewood recognize the iq,ortance of
conbnu.llly re•chmg out to the community in order IO increae
envirormental awareness and commumy panc:ipatlon. llolh ICE8
and the City of Englewood desire to est.lbhh ~

SECTION 9: ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Although energy conservation and air quality are issues that are
regional in scope, the City of Englewood recognizes that solutions
to these problems must start at the local level The Oty wiU
continue its policy of promoting and encouraging transportation
alternatives to the automobile, inducing mass transit, bicydin& and
walking. Teleconvnuting and home-based employment will be
encouraged as a way to reduce traffic congestion resulting in air
pollution. Methods and programs designed to reduce street dust
and motor vehicle and wood-burning emissions will be explored
and implemented. The City is committed to worlcing with state and
regional air quality organizations in order to continue meeting the
Gty's obligation to improve regional air quaity.
The City of Englewood recognizes that a commitment ID improved
land planning and urban design wiN lead to a more envifonmentaly
friendly dty. Higher densities and mixed-use developments along
transit corridon and at transit nodes wi• be encouraged. The Oty
is also supportive of pedestrian, and bicyclHiencly comrnerml
developments with appropriately reduced or lhared parlcing
requirements.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item:
June 16, 2003
INmATEDBY:
Department of Information Technology
Department of Finance & Administrative Services
Subject: System Procurement
Agreement -PCI, Inc. for Cash
Receipting System
STAFF SOURCE:
Don Ingle, Director of Information Technolo@
Frank Gryglewicz, Director of Finance &
Administrative Services
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
In the 2001 Multi-Year Capital Plan (FYCP), Council approved a program to replace the city's
critical financial, payroll, and human resources systems. The city's financial system finalists could
not meet the cash receipting requirements of the city. A separate RFP was published in August of
2002 for cash receipting/point-of-sale software for the city's Finance department, resulting in this
selection recommendation.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
In 2002, the city selected and began implementation of a new integrated financial, payroll and human
resources system . Three system sub-modules were not offered as integrated elements of the four
finalists ' software packages: cash receipting. sales tax accounting and construction loan management
The work-around options presented by the vendors could not adequately meet the Finance
de partment's needs and were considered too costly.
Cash recei pting/point-of-sale software was identified as the highest immediate priority among these
outsta nding finan ci al software sub-modules. As with other remaining systems, the current software was
de e lo pe d in-h o use many years a go and is subject to rapidly fading hardware and software support.
The curre nt lega cy program is al so limited in its ability to automate several "manual" functions such as
interface to the new Oracle general ledger, bar code scanning. and reakime credit card validation. The
new sys tem must handle all forms of cash handling and customer payment Ktivities (e.g. utility biUs,
co urt fi nes, permit fees, etc.).
A separate cash receipting sys tem RFP was issued in August 2002 . The RFP lnduded 188 functional
and techn ical req ui re ments separated among such categories as revenue accounlin& interfaces to
oth e r s stems, query and pr ocessing capabilities, reporting. and worldlow manqement (e.g. bar code
scanning. real-time c re dit card auth orization and processing).
..
t

Three proposals were received of which two met pre-qualification requirements:
* Based on the detailed evaluation criteria defined in the RFP and applied by the review committee
during their analysis, PCI was felt to provide the best mix of systems, services and costs. The referenced
evaluation criteria induded:
Functional Flt· 40%
• Fit with functional strategic direction
• Application software functionality
• Flexibility to support changing business needs
• Ability to customize
• Report writer, query, and other tools provided
Technical Flt· 10%
• Fit with technical strategic direction
• Migration capability
• Life cyde management
• Compatibility with expertise of current staff
• Availability of technical support
• Level of effort to upgrade
Buslness hl1ner Flt· 30%
• Stability of respondent
• Designation of Prime Contractor
• Stability of product
• Relevant respondent experience
• Customer service/support
• Availability, relevance, quality and schedule of training
• Quality of current customer references
• Level of agreement with the City's proposed terms and conditions
Cost-20%
• Software
• Hardware
• Total cost of ownership
• Training (as applicable)
• Support/maintenance
PCl 's list of installed sites include jurisdictions such as the City of AleDlldria, Virginia. the City of
Detroit, Montgomery County, Maryland, Cook County, IUinois, and the City of Richmond. Virginia.
Reference checks affirmed the city's positive assessment in each of the major evaluation categories.
In addition to integrating with the new Oracle financial system, the PCI product will use the latest in bar
code scanning technologies to improve the efficiency and accuracy of payment processing and
accountin& and will include features such as secure, real-time, web-based credit card verification. The
system wiR also facilitate the automated allocation of revenues to the new Oracle Project Accounting
system -a task that currently involves a great deal of manual effort with the legacy cash receipting
system.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total firm, fixed-price cost for the PCI contract is $71,133, composed of the following cost
components:

Hardware (bar code scanners, $3,934

Sub-total -PCI Contrad $71133
An additional cost of approximately $4,500 will be incurred outside the PCI contract to purchase a
small application server and associated Microsoft SQL Server licenses. These systems can be procured
more cost-effectively via State of Colorado purchasing agreements.

outside PCI contract estimat
Total -PCI Conlrad and
"Outside" Costs
$75,633
The original project budget estimate included in the Multi-Year Capital Program (MYCP) was $85,550.
Approximately 36% ( or $27,228) of the project cost will be funded in a lump sum contribution by the
Utilities department based on a review of transaction data for past years (e.g. approximately 36% of the
processed re<seipts have historically been associated with Utility transactions). The renwning project
costs ( or $48,405) will be borne by the 'financial Systems' MYCP project budget as both direct capital
outlays (implementation services) and hardware/software covered by a proposed five-year
lease/purchase agreement The estimated annual lease/purchase payments for the MYCP portion of
these hardware/software costs will be approximately $8,520 (assuming a five-year retirement at 4.10%).
(See the table below for a summary of project funding sources).
Again, the both lump sum capital contribution and lease/purchase commitments are already included
