wanted to pomt out that there are two part s to the request. He said th e reques t before o un c1l 1s to s,·t a
public hearing for December l S'h . The property owners and tenants in the area have alread y been noutied
of that date as required by the Urban Rene\\a l Statute . The second part of the reque st I the fin read111 g of
the ordmance that would establish the rban Renewal Area . Mr. Graham advi sed that the second part of
the request is about the documents that were provided to Council m the folder. which include a ond111 on
s urve y of north Englewood. a plan to remed y the co nditions that were found and a kner contactin g the
Count y about the expected impac ts of providing Count y se rvice s to the area . He expla111 e J that th e,e
doc uments are all required by State Statute in order to proceed with creatmg an l 0rb an Re nC\\al Area He
stated that establishing the area is necessary m order for Engle\\oo,r s I.Jrban Re ne"al Authont) to ta•e

he would like Counci l to notice that each of the documents ha been throu gh the L'rban Rem·"al Authont)
and the Planning and Zoning Conunission for their heanng and the y have prov,ded recomnll'ndauon 111 th,:
form of resolutions . Mr . Graham pointed out that thi s proce rea ll y started e, era! ) ear, ago. but most
recentl y, when RTD declared their mtention ofbutldmg a mamte nance fa tin y 011 till' ;ne . \\a "hen""
got involved agam . This is the path towards es tablt shm g th e cleanup of the contammated ,otl, m till' a1eJ

has struck a deal wtth Banon Brothers . He ad, t ed the) ha, e an agreement on th e purc ha ,e of th e cnttr,·
site at thi s point and we are lookmg forward to RTD sellmg a portion of the s it e bac k to the L·r ban Ren e"al
Authonty. s hould Counci l c reate the area and g ive th e Authont~ that o pti on .
Coun c il Member Bradshaw asked ifth1s 1s th e la st de,·elopable . large parcel 111 the C it y o f Engle \\OOd . Mr.
Graham said tht s is one of the last major de,·e lopment parce ls . The development that is anticipated in tl11 s
project. he advised. with the RTD development and the rede,·elopment parcels. is abo ut 25 acres . That ,s
enormous as yo u know, he said. and it 1s difficult to assemble land . and ne"t to C iryCe nter that 1s the only
one we know of.
Co un c il Member Nabholz asked that Mr. Graham correct her 1f she wa s wrong . but. as s he unders tand s 11.
th1 will not affe ct an y houses within the area boundaries. because at the prese nt time th ey are not a
conforming use. but 1fthis is instituted then the y will become a confornung use and the y will sta y n ght
where they are at. She a sked if that was correct. Mr. Graham explained the existing s11ua11 o n I that th ere
are approximately thineen single famil y house s that are non-conforming 111 the area and . depend111g on th e
langua ge in the overlay zone district . whi ch will come before the Planning Commi ss ion , probabl y in
January. and to the Council after that , that ordinance will determine how the houses will be handl ed un der
the ne " zonmg. One option is to treat them as non-conforming, another o pti on , to treat them a s
confornung. So I can ·1 answer it directl y. he said . it is an opt io n that the Plannmg and Zo n111 g Co mmi ss ion
\\'tll make a recornn1enda ti on on .
Mayor Bums. referrmg to Re so lution No . 5 from th e L'rban Renewa l Authonty. with regard to th e
acqu1 s 111on agreement between E RA and RTD. a ked 1fthat was gomg to go forward in ltght of the fact
that RTD ts acqumng thi s si te . He asked 1f thi s has been a uthori zed and exe c uted and s ho uld no \\ be
reformed somehow to reflect what RTD 1s domg . I am concerned that we ac tuall y have a wrinen
agreement with RTD , he said. Mr. Graham adv, ed that what we have is the draft of an acqu1sit1on
agreement that ha s been approved b y the Urban Renewa l Authonty for the Exec utive Direc tor to neg oti a te

yes.
Mr. Graham said he did get a question about the exhibits that are referenced Ill the Engle \\ ood lndustna l
Conditions Survey. At the public hearing. he said. we intend to make a more complete prese ntation of the
material. as would be appropriate to establish the record. In that pre se ntation we have three exh 1b1t s. one of
them is an aerial photograph. another is a map related to some photographs to show you where the y \\ere
taken and the third is the boundary area . Hopefully. he said, that will answer any que stion s about where the
exh1b11s are . There is a map in the survey. which shows the boundaries for the area. so that rnformation 1s

Mayor Bums said he would entenain l\\·O motions . One . to establi s h a publi c hearin g o n December 18'".

Council Member Bradshaw stated the y ne eded to have so me discussion on thi s .
Mayor Bums advised that Council has discussed thi s at Study Session and the 4 X 4 has met . wlu ch
consists of four members of the EDDA board and four members of Counc tl . about the futme o f l:DDA and
what EDDA has been doing . He commented that they might remember a co uple o f ) ea r ago . s tarttn g 111
1996 and endmg Ill 199 8, that EDDA de,e loped a downto\\ 11 plan . "h1d1 "a;; o ne of the prtm:,pal thtn g,
that Colorado law provides for Downto_.,, Development Authonttes . He stated the plan ha s not been
brought before the Planning Commiss ion. nor ha s Cit y Co un ci l been asked to adopt 11. "ht h ea uses us a
good deal of concern. He pomted out that there wa a lot of \\Ork done on that plan. Co uncil al so looked at
their budget to see how they were spendmg their momes on personnel and projects \\'e hav e been
concerned as to how much ofthetr fund s are actually going mto projects for the commumt . he sa id . We
discussed other ways of tmpronng downtown , s uch as a business tmprO\·ement d1strt ct and using funds
dire ctly from the Ci ty"s budget for facade 1mprowments. all "ith the idea o f 1mpronng th e do "111 0 " n area .
perhaps more expedtt1ously than I bemg done at thts point by EDDA . Our thou ght . he said . with thi s
ordinance, is to pass tt on first readmg and hopefully there will be a scheduled meetmg bet"cen the four
EDDA members and the four Council members before this comes up agam . He explamed that we are
dealing with a shon timeframe . because we have a mill levy for EDDA 1ha1 ha s to be process ed this month .
He said we wish we had more time for thi s. but this ts just something that c ame up rerently and we havt'
had a difficult struggle with the relationship between EDDA and the C it y owr the pa t several }ears . The
improvements on South Broadway and the pa,·ing resulted in some conn1c1s this summer and EDDA . by
their own self-expression, ha s evolved into an organization that is also a bu iness advocac y group and 1ha1 .
in our mind, he said_ is not really what the Statutes contemplate . So we are JUSI 1ak1ng a lo ok at EDDA to
see whether the y can be reformulated. refocused ... whether there ,s a better "ay of do111g 1h1 s. He sa id "e
asked that an ordinance be drawn up to disso h ·e EDDA. 10 be pa ssed on fir s t reading. whi c h \\Ould lead to
fun her di sc ussion and see what comes of 1ha1.
Mayor Bums asked if anyone else would hke 10 make any funher conunem
Council Member Wolosyn said she wanted 10 thank Conme Sa nche z for the effort 1ha1 wem into colke1tng
the signatures on the petitions. That is \\hat ,s 1mpona111 10 me . she ,a,d. 10 h,·ar from members of 1ha1
district. She said she would also ask the 4 X 4. or EDDA. 10 honor tho se s ig natures by makin g a real effort
to meet between now and Christmas so that "e ca n at lea s t talk before "e proceed and hopefull y re solH· a
lot of the negative issues that have been n ying around and see ho " \\C can look at that plan in a pos111ve
way for everyone.
Council Member Yurch,ck advised that his concern is with the use of fund s and the group·s current focu s.
My vote . he said. is11·1 a renection of non-s upport of the business co mmun11 y: 1t is a reflection ofmy
concern about how taxpa ye rs · dollars are bemg used and how the organization itself is being used . I
encourage the Co uncil. if the EDDA is dissolved , 10 form an interim group to continue the facade program,
he said. He stated that his vote isn·t against the EDDA as much as ii is agamsl what he sees as EDD'.<\ ·s
current method of operation .
Council Member Bradshaw advised that she became concerned about this last summer and she asked for
information on the budget, a $1.6 million budget , and where it has gone . She said Council received that
information from staff and another iteration from EDDA . Ms. Bradshaw stated she has been on Council for
three years and has yet to receive minutes from EDDA, like we do from every other board and commi ssion
in this City. That concerned her, she said , and the use of funds . EDDA used to do more things for the
community and she understands . philosophicall y, why they switched, but she sttll thinks that by appl yi ng
for funds from the SCFD, and receiving those funds , it wasn't that huge of a deal to do the concen. For the
last two years the City has picked that up . EDDA used to be a pan of the fircworks ... thc y aren ·1 a part of
the fireworks anymore . In a way. she said. 1hetr philosophy has shifted . Instead of working hand-m-hand
with the City in a pannership, she sees it as a conflict . Ms. Bradshaw stated by no means is Council Bill
No. 92 cast in stone, that this is to bring it up for discussion, which is why we always have two readings on

things with two weeks in between. so dialogues can take place . I'm saddened. s he said . at what I ha ve see n
the Downtown De ve lopment Authority turn into from it s inception when I was on Co uncil fr o m 19 80 to
1987 . A lot has happened in those ten years that has changed. I think . the philosophy and to some extent
the reason that Downtown Development Authorities were formed . She noted she s hares the conterns of
Mayor Burns, Council Member Wolosyn·s concerns and Co uncil Member Yurchick's concerns .
Council Member Nabholz said her vote reflects that she agrees with Council Member Yurchit k. that tlu s is
in no way against our businesses, this is to force dialogue between EDDA and the City Council. She said
she also agrees with Council Member Wolosyn. She is very concerned and she wants the~ X 4 group to
meet, the four Council members and four EDDA board members, and she wants us to get awa y from thi s
"us against them" mentality. I totally suppon our Englewood businesses. I am concerned with the way the
funds are being spent and my vote reflects concern and to force dialogue, s he said.
Council Member Yurchick said he wanted to ask a question. He said he understood that EDDA se nt o ut
cards asking businesses to show up . He asked if there were an y businesses prese nt th at came 111 re pon c to
those cards . Mr. Yurchick acknowledged the one that was present .
Mayor Bums asked if there were any other questions or comments. There \\ere no ne .

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION

December 4 , 2000 10 a i Southgate Supplement #150
INITIATED BY
Utilities Department
STAFF SOURCE
Stewart H. Fonda . Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Water and Sewer Board, with a phone vote conducted November 20 , 2000,
recommended Council approval of a Bill for an Ordinance approving Southgate Supplement
#150.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The City of Englewood provides sewage treatment to a population of about 70,000 people
outside the City through contracts with numerous connector districts . The area is defined by
the natural drainage and extends south and east from Broadway to the Valley Highway and
from Hampden to Lincoln Ave. excluding Highlands Ranch. By contract the City of Englewood
must approve any additions of land to be served by the districts . These are usually in-fill
situations that are within what the City considers to be the area it has committed to serve .
Adequate capacity has been provided in the treatment plant to accommodate all such future
inclusions. Annexation of this parcel of land will not increase the tap allocation of the
Southgate Sanitation District.
A request was made by the Southgate Sanitation District representing the owners , Nicholas
and Natalie Lyon , for inclusion into the Southgate Sanitation District. Supplement #150 is for
an area of slightly under 1 acre . The lot has a Single-Family Residential zoning and contains
a single-family residence. The property is located east of S . Monaco and south of Belleview .
The address is 5530 S . Newport St.
FINANCIAL IMPACT

COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Housing and Community Development
Previous Action:
City Council has approved resolutions to file Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) applications annually since 1977 . The City Manager has approved participation
in the Arapahoe County CDBG Entitlement Program for funding years 2001 through
2003 by the execution of Amendment Number Two that extended the Intergovernmental
Ordinance #39, Series of 1994 approved by the City Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that Council approve a resolution authoriz ing staff to apply for fiscal
year 2001 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds using its own set-aside
allocation and CDBG Pool funds .
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The Federal CDBG Entitlement Program provides grants to units of local government
and urban counties to meet housing and community development needs . The objective
of the program is to develop viable urban communities by providing :
• decent, safe , affordable housing , for example , housing rehabilitation :
• improved public services, for example, circulator shuttle, homeless prevention ,
Family Residential Resource Center, and a senior services coordinator;
• economic opportunities primarily for persons of low and moderate income, for
example, Family Self Sufficiency program ;
• preservation of historic places, for example, Skerritt House renovation .
The Federal Program objectives are achieved through projects developed by the local
government that are designed to give priority to those activities that benefit low and

income families or that aid in preventing or eliminating slum or blight. The request for
funds may also include activities that are designed to meet other urgent development
needs in the community that pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or
welfare of the community if other financial resources are not available. Local
governments determine the activities that best serve the objectives of the program .
Funds are appropriated annually by the Congress for this program and are allocated by
statutory formula to each entitlement area . Arapahoe County is an approved entitlement
area . The grant funds are distributed on a formula basis to participating cities within
Arapahoe County that incorporates each jurisdiction 's total population w ith its
low/moderate income population .
The City of Englewood must submit an application (s) in order to receive funds from the
FY2001 Arapahoe County CDBG Program . Since the local program is noncompetitive .
the County will evaluate the applications based on compliance w ith the National
Objectives . Funding levels for FY2001 are anticipated to be $225 .000 .
The FY2001 Local Program consists of six possible projects that meet current housing
and neighborhood needs . Beginning with FY2002 funds , CDBG projects wi ll implement
the Housing and Neighborhood Plan being drafted by Community Development staff for
review by the Planning Commission and City Council . Th is plan will be an amendment
to the City of Englewood's Comprehensive Plan that will identify housing and commun ity
development needs and their possible solutions .
All projects are subject to additional review by City staff, Arapahoe County CDBG
administrators and the County Commissioners. The listed projects and fund ing levels
may change . FY2001 CDBG funds are being requested for the following projects:
1) $85,000 for the Housing Rehabilitation Project that provides loans to
homeowners to finance the costs of major household repairs and
improvements ;
2) $10 ,000 for the Englewood Housing Authority's Family Self-Sufficiency
Project that provides comprehensive case management and support services
to participants to become self sufficient w ithin five years ;
3 ) $50 ,000 for the circulator shuttle that will provide transportation services from
the Englewood light ra il station to the Swedish/Craig Hospital areas ;
4) $10 ,000 for the Englewood Housing Authority's Homeless Prevention
Assistance Program that provides loans to low income families to prevent
evictions and foreclosures that could result in homelessness;

Assessment of Englewood Santa
Fe Depot
As part of its mission to preserve Eng lewood 's historic heritage , the City Counc il in 1998 purchased the land on
which the Englewood Santa Fe Depot currently res ides and assumed responsibil ity for the outstanding note held
by the Englewood Housing Authonty. The City then deeded the Depot building to the Englewood Historical
Society . In 1999. City Council authonzed S250 ,000 to assist the Englewood Historical Society in completing the
renovation of the Englewood Santa Fe Depot.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Library Department recommends City Council approval, by motion, the attached application for a grant award
of $10,000 from the Colorado Hiltorical Society for a Historical Structure Assessment of the Englewood Santa Fe
Depot.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
In 1994, the Englewood Santa Fe Depot was relocated from its original pos ,t,on at Santa Fe and Hampden to ,ts
present location at West Dartmouth and South Galapago. In its efforts to preserve this important piece of
Englewood history. the Englewood Historical Society secured a loan through the Englewood Housing Authority for
the land on which the Depot now rests , and the building was added to the Stare Register of Histor,cal Properties
that same year. In 1995. a grant for $100.000 was awarded to the Englewood H istorical Soc iety by the Colorado
Historical Society to restore the roof and exterior of the Depot building .
This current grant application. as developed in cooperation with the Englewood Historical Society , would provide
$10,000 in State Historical Funds towards a Historical Structures Assessment of the Depot . Such a study was not
required with the previous grants, but is now a requirement for all grants funded by the State Historical Fund/
Colorado Historical Society before it will approve any addit io nal monies towards restoration and renovat ion .
The total cost of this project is $16,000 of which $12 ,000 is for the HSA study to be conducted by Slater, Pau l &
Associates, Inc . who were chosen to conduct this survey based on their previous experience with similar proJects .
An additional $4,000 is needed for the required Hazardous Materials Survey which must be conducted along with
the HSA study .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
In addition to the $10 .000 in SHF funds , the Englewood Historical Society will provide S3 .000 in matching funds
with another $3.000 in matching funds from the City of Englewood . Th is latter amount w,11 be deducted from the
$250,000 approved by City Council in 1999.

On behalf of the C ity of Engl ewood and th e Englewood Historic al Society, I am sub m1tt1ng a grant
proposal to request 510 ,000 in SHF funds towards th e Historica l Structures Assessment of the
Englewood Santa Fe Depot. The to tal cost of this proJect rs projected to be $16 ,000 of wh ich S12,0 00 is
for the HSA study to be conducted by Slater , Pau l & Associates , Inc . with an additional $4 ,000 for the
required Hazardous Materials Survey . In add ition to the $10 ,000 in SHF funds , the Eng lewood Histo ri ca l
Society will provide $3 ,000 in match in g funds with another $3 ,000 in matching funds from th e Crty of
Englewood to cover the $16 ,000 .
D
In 1995, the Colorado Historica l So ciety approved Proj ect #95-02-001 in the amount of $100 .000 for the
Englewood Historical Societ y to handle the renovat ion and restoration of the Depot's exteri or. At that
time, the CHS did not require a Histori cal Structu res Assessment of the Depot . Subsequently, however , a
change rn ru les did require a HSA fo r all future requests . In fact, a second EHS proposal in 1999 for CHS
funds to reno vate the Depot's interi or was den ied , part ia ll y due to the absence of a HSA stu dy . A
Histor ical Structures Assessment of the Eng lewood Santa Fe Depot study w ill allow the En g lewood
Historical Societ y and the City of Eng lewood to best determ ine the eventua l reuse of th is hi s toric building
for Englewood and the surround ing community .

Englewood Depot HSA
NARR.\TIVE.
a. Mi s1on statement, briei statement of organization·s goals, and/or objectives.
The City of Englewood is a small (6. 7 square miles) landlocked municipality of approximatel y 32 .000 residents, a
sizable ponion of whom are working-class middle-income families occupying about 13,000 households.
Please note: the City of Englewood does not encompass some of the more well-known areas within its mailing
address , e.g. the Denver Tech Center, Cherry Hills Village , Greenwood Village. etc .
b. Brief summary of organization ·s history.
As pan of its mission to preserve Englewood's historic heritage. the C ity in 19 9 purchased the land on which 1he
Englewood Santa Fe Depot now resides for S286 ,000 and assumed rcsponsib11it y for the out ta ndmg note held by
the Englewood Housing Authority. The City then deeded the Depot building to 1he Englewood H1~1 o ncal ociety.
The EHS originally rescued the Depot from threatened demolition in 1994, mo ved It to 115 pre seni sae . and received
State Register of Historic Places listing that same year. Also in 199-. the EHS received a SI 00.000 HF grant for
exterior closure of the building including consrrucnon documents. foundatton waterproofing, roof replacemen t. and
guners and downspouts . The EHS has planned to conven the Depot interior to a loc~J tustory mu seum. The City o f
Englewood appropriated $250,000 in 1999 to assist the EHS in this effon . However. o ne of the C1t y·s re q uirement s
was for the EHS to complete a strategic plan for operanon of the Depot/Muse um . The C ity contracted w11h irg,rua
Steele and Denver City Re storations to facilitate this plan and a fea ibility srudy for the DepoL 'Museum. The

City of Englewood
Englewood Depot HSA
Fe Railroad already had a depot by that name in Kansas. Through common usage , however, the building became
known as the Englewood Santa Fe Depot. Construction of this one-story, 22' x i5' building was in the '"County
Seat" style with stucco on wood frame construction common to the architecture of New Mexico. It is the only
surviving example of this "'mission style" depot in existence in Colorado. The Santa Fe Depot was in active service
for 40 years. It was particularly busy with military traffic during both World Wars, as it was the stop closest to
nearby Fon Logan. But passenger service declined in Colorado as elsewhere in the country, and the station was
finally abandoned in 1955 .
b. Description of the goals and objectives for the purpose of the grant .
Goal: Complete the exterior restoration and interior rehabilitation of the Englewood Santa Fe Depot.
Objective One: Complete a Historic Structure Assessment of the Englewood Santa Fe Depot
Objective Two : Evaluate the existing physical conditions and hazardous materials of the structure to
determine a program plan for its use
Objective Three: The City of Englewood and the Englewood Historical Society determine a work plan fo r
restoration and rehabilitation
Objective Four: Establish reasonable and accurate cost estimates for future work
c. Public benefit of the work proposed.
The Englewood Santa Fe Depot sits on a highly visible promontory at the intersection of Dartmouth and Galapago .
It overlooks the RTD Southwest Conidor line and the historic Santa Fe rail conidor in its historic relationship to the
railroad tracks as prescribed by the Colorado Historical Society as a condition of its listing on the State Register.
Major arterial access to the new Englewood CityCenter 's transit oriented development passes immediately in front
of the Depot and is adjacent to the Dartmouth underpass to Santa Fe Boulevard.
The Depot is a well-recognized and much-loved symbol of Englewood's role as an agricultural community and
supply center for Fort Logan and wartime industrial production. Railroad historians have long recognized the
importance of this Depot as a surviving remnant of rail's national economic and social importance.
Preservation of this structure will benefit the public as a means of interpretation of rail history in Colorado .

Dear Ms . Contiguglia .
PO Box 12
Englewood. CO 80151
,.
November 19 , 2000
This letter is sent in support of the City of Englewood 's application to the State Historical Fund
for a mini-grant in the amount of $10,000 to fund a Historic Structure Assessment of the Englewood
Santa Fe Dep ot As the legal owner of the building, the Englewood Historical Society stron gl y
supports this grant request and has voted to commit up to $3,000 of Society funds to complete the
project
The Society became in vo lved in the effort to save the building, the o nl y one of it s type in
Colorado, in I 993 when it was threatened by demolition because of its location in th e path of the South
Santa Fe Boulevard realignment and the Southwest light rail line . The Society stepped in and saved
the structure and relocated it to its present location at Dartmouth and Galapago o n a parcel of land now
owned by the City of Englewood . It was subsequently listed on the State Register \\ e have raised
community funds for its partial restoration and rehabilitation and were successful in ob ta ini ng a SHF
grant for exterior work in the past
However, no comprehensive Historic Structure Assessment has ever been conducted to
adequatel y assess the building 's existing conditions, hazardous materials conditions, pro grammat ic
uses or reliable cost estimates for future rehabilitation . The time is ripe to rectify this s ituation now
because we have the combined financial resources of the Society and the city to match our request to
you and a strong desire on the part of Englewood citizens to see this very prominent landmark become
a functioning resource in our community once again .
We hope yo ur agency will look favorably on this request and look forward to working with the
Colorado Historical Society to preserve our shared heritage.
Sincerely,
~ s-~-q-
Cindy Scott, President
Englewood Historical Society

condition assessment will include a recommended repair or maintenance strategy.
Preservation Plan: The physical repair. maintenance and rehabilitati o n need s o f the
structure will be o rganized into a pri o ritized approach will allow the building·s owner to
anticipate and plan for repair and major maintenance costs . Ea ch deficiency discovered
during the condition assessment will be evaluated and prioritized acco rding to its everity and
impact on the long term preservation o f the structure. the safety of its occ upants and the
building's continued use . Each deficiency will have a recommended repair trategy an d a
conceptual cost estimate . The plan will show the recommended wo rk fo r the building
organized into a schedule with rehabilitation and repair expenditures coo rdinat ed with the
anticipated use o f the State Historic Fund as a potential source of building preservation
funding .
Deficiency correction and rehabilitation work will be prioritized int o ca tegories according to
their urgency and importance relative to the conservation of the structure . The categories
are : critical deficiencies. serious deficiencies. minor deficiencies and routine rep:ur and
maintenance items . A fifth category includes discretionary items . such as . resto rat io n of
architectural finishe s, etc . Definitions of each category are as follows :
0
0
Critical Deficiencies : This category includes deficiencies that should be o rrected as
soon as possible . If repairs are nm completed very soon. serious damage to th e
building or potential injury to the building's occupants is likely lO occu r h ems
which would be classified as critical deficiencies include mas o nry componems which
have deteriorated to the point where pieces could fall and injure the building ·s
occupants and/or passersby , serious active roof leaks that could quickly damage the
building and its contents , hazardous electrical conditions. hazardo us building egress
conditions and the like .
Serious Defi ciencies : This category include s deficienc ie s that hould be co rrected as
soon as possi ble after all critical deficiencies have been co rrected . This category
includes items where continuing damage to the building is likely unless the problems
are corrected . Serious deficiencies could become critical deficiencies if not co rrected
and resolved in the next 2 to 5 years . Deficiencies which would be classified as
serious include repair of roof leaks and conditions likely t0 result in roof leaks. repair
work which will prevent significant and rapid deterioration of building co mp o nents
and systems, etc .
o Minor Deficiencies : This category includes deficiencies that should be co rrected but
not before all critical and serious deficiencies have been corrected . So me minor

areas it was welcomed . After the General Iron Works property was sold to an industrial user .
efforts to market the property for res idential/commercial redevelopment were discontinued .
The Planning and Zon ing Comm iss ion cont inued to discuss land use issues re lated to the
substantial publ ic investment in transportat ion in the Santa Fe corridor . Englewood 's
Comprehensive Plan was amended to inc lude a recogn ition that the long planned mu lti -moda l
transportation center has been establ ished in the Santa Fe Corridor . and further , that the pub li c
investment in transportation infrastructure in the Corridor changed earlier assumpt ions about
land use . MetroVision 2020 was adopted by Council as the reg ional element to Englewood 's
Comprehensive Plan on the recommendation of the Planning and Zon ing Comm iss ion . The
Mile High Compact , adopted by Council in 2000 , directs that comprehens ive plans be
consistent with MetroVision 2020 . The Core Elements of MetroVision 2020 support
development patterns that take advantage of ex isting service system capacity , complement the
existing transportation network , and prov ide high-capital transportation fac ilities where
development actions support the efficient use of those facil ities .
Discussions about north Englewood began aga in when RTD proposed the Light Ra il Train
Maintenance Facil ity for the General Iron Works site . Counc il responded to the proposal with a
request that they consider other locat ions . RTD provided a Wh ite Pape r on their site se lection
process describing the 20 sites which were cons idered. Coun cil and RTD met to discuss a
compromise that could meet C ity and RTD needs . RTD sponsored a des ign charette that
included Council and staff representat ives and developed a consensus on a p roposa l that
would enable RTD to develop the ir facility on the north port ion of the General Iron Works site
and allow the south part of the site to be redeve loped with hous ing and commerc ial mixed uses .
In 1999 , Council approved a Santa Fe /Platte Rive r Corr idor Study that initiated strategic rev iew
of open space , business and land use opp o rtun ities in the Corr idor. Wh ile the study is ongo ing ,
it has included some sign ificant milestones . A Great Outdoor Co lorado (GOCO ) plann ing grant
was submitted , a business assessment was comp leted as was an env ironmental assessment of
the General Iron Works site . That study conc luded that mult i-fam ily residential land uses could
occur on the historically industrial property with proper remed iation , and that the costs of
remediat ion were reasonable for the use . A Trans it Overlay Zone District has been drafted to
permit transit supportive land uses in the influence area around light ra il stat ions . The new
Zone District will be reviewed by the Plann ing and Zon i ng Commiss ion in January and is
expected to proceed to Council in February . Another milestone was the analys is of the locat ion
as a potential light rail station . Results of that study support building a station in conjunction
with other transit supportive redevelopment.
The Englewood Urban Renewal Authority advert ised in the Englewood Herald Public Notices
and mailed copies of the notice of the December 18 , 2000 to owners and occupants of property
in the affected area thirty days in advance of the hearing as requ ired by state statute . Staff has
rece ived three phone calls and two walk in vists regarding the Survey and Plan .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Plan lists all Urban Renewal activities perm itted by state statute including : land acqu isit ion :
relocation of individuals, families and business concerns ; property management : demoli tion and
clearance of existing improvements ; land d ispos ition, redevelopment and rehabilitation ;
negotiation of cooperation agreements with publ ic bodies ; provisions for financ ing the pro ject
including the use of tax allocation financing ; and other undertakings and activities as may be
required to implement the plan in accordance with the Act . Capital improvements for

turned to the Light Rail and South Platte River Corridor . The General Iron Works site , which
was posted for sale at the time , represented a large redevelopment opportunity on the corridor .
A series of public meet ings were held in north Englewood with area businesses and residents .
Residents discussed neighborhood traffic and land use issues. A brief moratorium was placed
on industrial development in the area while the community considered redevelopment options
and land uses . Environmental assessments were init iated in 1998 , but redevelopment issues
were shelved at the time in favor of addressing the neighborhood's higher priority traffic issue.
A dozen or more res idents attended the community meet ings discussing traffic issues. Police
Patrol Division , Publ ic Works Traffic Division and Community Development staff were
represented at a series of meetings discussing education , engineering and enforcement
strategies for traffic problems . The Traff ic Division conducted a study of traffic volume and type
for the area . Neighbors expressed concerns about safety and nu isances of commercial trucks
driving north and south through the neighborhood . Various alternatives were considered and
the group agre ed to begin by addressing issues related to speeding and students crossing
Dartmouth to and from school. Specific commitments were made to extend the school zone
along W . Dartmouth Ave . by installing a second set of flashing school zone signals . and
upgrading school crossing signage
The land use and redevelopment issues were the focus of many of the community meetings .
Broadway business owners were keenly interested in redevelopment issues and supportive of
new residential development that could potentially expand their customer base . The
neighborhood expressed support for senior housing and reservations about continued industrial
uses. Generally, when redevelopment was focused on industrial areas rather than residential

1.0 Survey Objective and Scope
Under Colorado La w , the legal term "blight" describes a wide a rray of urban
problems that can range from physical deterioration of buildings and the
environment to the health problems in a particular area. A findin g that blighted
conditions exist within an area is required by the City Council o f En glewood fo r the
creation of an urban renewal area and adoption of a plan for that area. In o rd er to
make such a finding ; the City Council cannot rely on a si n gle matter, but rather a
combination of factors attributable to a number of phys ical, environmenta l and
safety factors. Our inquiry will identify if any of the conditio n tha t conshtute blight
exist in the study area .

1.0 Survey Objective and Scope (continued):
This survey has measured a wide range of physical. environmental and _afety
factor s based upon on-site inspections, research and interviews conducted w ith s taff
of the City of Englewood . Data have been gathered in the following areas:
1. Slum, deteriorated, or deteriorating structures;
2. Defective or inadequate s treet la yo ut .
3. Lot layout, accessibility, size and usefulness .
4. Unsanitary or unsafe conditions;
5. Deterioration of site or other improvements .
6. Unusual topography .
7 . Defective or unusual conditions of title rendering the title nonrnarketable;
8. Existence of conditions that endanger life or property by fire o r o ther ca use ;
9. Environmental contamination of buildings or property;
10. Inadequate public improvements or utilities.
These ten factors are within the statutory definition of blight. Becau se the presenc e
of blight is a cumulative finding , the e factors are desc ribed as well as depicted in
graphic form to show the geographic incidence. Di splay boa rd s with map and
photographs have been prepared to illu trate the e blight factors and their
distribution throughout the area . These d oc uments are included in this rep o rt as
Exhibits 1, 2, and 3.
2.0 Introduction ~d Area Overview
The study area is defined as :
The 1-1 and 1-2 zoned industrial land ea t of the RTD Light Rail line between We st
Yale Avenue, on the north, and West Dartmouth Avenue, o n the ·o uth . Area is
shown in Figure 1, with an aerial view in Figure 2. Thi area includes the General
Iron Works (GIW) property.
3.0 Survey Methodology
The area defined for the s urve y wa s d . ited five time s and visuall y e xamined during
the period from August 2 through September 6, 2000 . Pho tographic reco rd of
releva nt conditions were made. Interviews were held with City of Englewood
perso nnel and are quoted within the report. Numerous repo rt s and releva nt
documents were reviewed and are quoted and referenced in thi s exi ting conditions
survey. The information collected fr o m these sources was then co mpared and

5.0 Survey Findings
Numerous factors of blight were found to exist in the study area. Some of the
factors may be categorized under several headings as permitted by statute .
Therefore some specific items are listed more than once. The study finding s are
tabulated in the order of the list of "Blight Factors" found in C.R.S. Section 31-25-
103(2) as modified in 1999 by House Bill 99-1326.
5.1 Slum, deteriorated, or deteriorating structures
The following is presented as evidence of slum, deteriorated or deteriorating
structures:
• "All building improvements including cranes and rail are at the end of their economic
life " ( Ref 2 -p20 , 52 )
• Arapahoe County Appraiser indicates that the General Iron Works Lot 1 con i ts of 1 .2
Acres with 29 buildings containing 320,174 square feet. The appraised value of th e
property is$ 600,000 with a majority in land value($ 497,561). This indicate th at th e
physical structures no longer have value and can be considered as deteri orated and pa st
their economic life .
• Examination of the GIW complex shows building deterioration and extremely pOL)r
maintenance of the buildings. Specificall y:
• The Pattern Storage Building roof exhibits extensive rust. (1-23)
• Former oil fired s tress relieving furnace is a rusting structure. (2 -7)
• Former carbide and acetylene generator with rusted roof and idin and
boarded over windows. (2-8)
• Plate shop building windows are broken out and covered over with
corrugated plastic. (2-13, 2-14)
• Garage building has extensive rust on all surfaces. (2-22)
• Foundation damage to Plate shop building due to vehicle impact with
building (2-20)
• Foundation damage (broken bricks and cracks through brick ) to Plate Shop
building due to structural settling. (3-8)
• Extensive large underground pits exist within the GIW site. These are located within th e
Plate Shop (35 Feet deep) and just north of the Plate Shop; former molding pits within th e
Foundry Building: former pump pit and distillate tank pit north of the Foundry Buildin g;
fuel oil tank pit north of the former Milling Room; and Quench Oil Ba si n no rthwes t of th e
Pattern Shop. These pits have not been used since General Iron s hut down. (Re/ 1-Figure
3)
• Lar ge tructural concrete foundations exi t within GIW at the loca tion of the fo rmer
Milli ng Room and the Plate Shop for s pecialty metal forming eq uipment. That equipm ent
ha been disposed of and the foundations will require extensive demolition work to
remove . These foundations ha ve not been used since General Iron shut d ow n and
equipment removed . (Ref 1-Figure 3, Exhibit 3)
• No buildings within the GIW complex are insulated except for the bu s in e s offices.

5.1 Slum, deteriorated, or deteriorating structures (continued)
• The sprinkler system for the Pattern Storage Building was di sco nnected when General
Iron was sold. Thi s two-story building is constructed of hea vy wood timbers with an
open wood grate floor between the first and second levels. There is no fire protection for
this building .
• A stucco building noted at 2926 South Galapago Street was seen to have structural
cracking. (4-17)
• An out building on the alley wes t of South Galapago Street was noted to ha\·e the roof
sagging and the concrete block building with structural cracking . (-l-22 , -l-23 )
5.2 Defective or inadequate street layout.
The following is prese nted as evidence of defective or inadequate street layout :
• Commercial truck access to the commercial activity on the GIW property is through the
surrounding residential neighborhoods cau si ng problems with the residential neighbor s.
• The GIW property had access to Santa Fe Drive however that was purchased by COOT
requiring access through the local street system.
• South Elati Street north of W . Amherst Avenue ha s a Right of Way (ROW) of
only 50 feet. The s treet standard ROW is 60 feet.
• South Galapago Street between West Bates Avenue and West Cornell Avenue
ha s a ROW of only 46.24 feet. The s treet standard ROW is 60 feet. Thi s forces
automobiles to park on the sidewalk. (1-23, 1-20, 1-21 , Exhibit 3)
• West Amherst Avenue does not intersect with South Elati Street . A maj o r entry
into the GIW property from Elati Street is opposite West Amherst Avenue . (1-9).
5.3 Faulty lot layout, accessibility, size and usefulness.
The following is presented as evidence of inadequate Jot la yo ut , accessibility, size
and usefulness:
• A narrow sliver of property known as Lot 3 General Iron Works Subdivision is 25 feet
wide at West Yale and 23 .77 feet wide at the west end and is 15.-l4 feet sh y of joining to the
Railroad ROW . The north side of the lot is 619.87 feet and the south side is 598.33 feet.
Thi s property owned by the City of Englewood ha s limited u sefu lness because of its lo n g
narrow shape. (Exhibit 3)
• The above property is not accessible from West Yale becau se the adjacent propert y wner
has erected a fence across the property. (1-2)
• A lot owned b y the City of Englewood at the west end of West Bat es Avenue i not
separated from the GIW property by a fence. (1-22) The property is too small to be
developed . (Exhibit 3)
• The Winslow property has limited usefulness as industrial property due to the trian gul a r
shape of the property. (Exhibit 3)
• A non conforming resi dential unit in 1-1 Zoning (3-13)
• No n-conforming residential units in 1-1 Zoning on South Galapago.

5.4 Unsanitary or unsafe conditions
The fo ll owi ng is prese nted as e\'idence of unsanitary or un sa fe conditions:
• The Pattern Shop ha s potential asbestos containing material in the vicinity of the sou th east
entrance. (Ref 1 -p4-2 )
• The Forge Shop building was identified with " the following areas of potential reco gni zed
environmental conditions: potential heavy metals in soils and residual petroleum fuel
associated with fueling of former furnaces in the shop." (Ref 1-p4-5 )
• The Cleaning Shed Warehouse was identified with "the following areas of p o te ntia l
recognized environmental conditions: possible spills / leaks from the oil quenchin g ba sin ,
ASTs (A bove-g round Storage Tank s) and related piping sys tem; contaminated casting
sand /slurry waste residue, heav y metals from sand bla s ting and deburring o perati ons
and potential ACM (Asbestos Containin g Material ) in the in sulati on material on ceilings and
walls." ( Ref 1 -p4-3 )
• The Foundry building was identified with " the following area of potential re cogni zed
environmental conditions: historic storage and handling of acidic materia ls outh of the
former furnaces, Potential ACM's in the insulation material on the ceiling and walls,
heavy metals in soils, the subsurface pit near the east interior wall , the fo rme r distillate
tank pit (UST ) (Und erground Storage Tank ) and subsurface piping in th e north end of th e
foundry. ( Ref 1 -p4-3)
• The Machine Shop building was identified with " the following areas of potential
recognized environmental conditions: possible heavy metal s in the so il s beneath existing
floor s; possible ACM's in the insulation on the ceiling and the walls; possible PCB
containing fluids in the stored transformers, observed well monuments associated with a
reported soil bio-venting remediation system for hydrocarbon impacted vadose zone so il ,
observed drums and observed UST adjoining north of the facilit y." (Ref 1 -P4-5 )
• The Plate Shop building was identified with" the following areas of potential recogni zed
environmental conditions : potential heavy metals in shallow soils associated with fo rm er
operations, residual fuel in shallow soils associated with the below grade s tres relie ving
furnace."( Ref 1 -p4-5 )
• Extensive landfilling of the northern portions of the site has taken place . "Up to ten feet of
this landfill reportedl y covers the northern half of the Site and presents a recognized
environmental condition due to the unknown nature of materials landfilled ." (Ref 1 -p4-
7)
• The s prinkler system for the Pattern Storage Building was disconnected when Gene ral
Iron was sold. This two-story building is constructed of heavy wood timbers w ith an
open wood grate floor between the first and second level s. This is a potential fire hazard .
• South Galapago Street from Bates to Cornell Avenues is narrow , requiring cars on the both
s ides of the street to park over the curb on the sidewalk creating a pedestrian hazard .

• Piles of tree trimmings and tree parts were noted on the north end of th e GlW property.
This dry material presents a fire hazard . (4-4)
• The City of Englewood Property (ROW for West Yale Avenu e west of Elati Street) is being
used by commercial enterprise to park wrecked vehicles upon . (~-1 , ~-2 ) in \·iolati on of citv
code.
• A pile of abandoned Double T structural concrete beams was observed in the alley we st of
South Galapago Street. Since trees have grown at the ends of the beams the\· ha\·e been
there for a period of time . (4-23)
• Unscreened vehicle storage in violation of code at S. Elati Street. (3-20)
• Junk gas fired furnaces stored in parking lot (4-10)
• Leaking grease container next to caterer building. Storage trailer si nking into ground. (-t-
11)
• Unpaved parking lot south of newly constructed building on Galapa go. (.J-1 6)
• Logs stacked against building along alley fence line. (4-13)
• All environmentally significant features identified in the SECOR report (Ref 1) as shown
on Exhibit 3, Figure 2 and Figure 3.
5.6 Unusual topography
The following is presented as evidence of unusual topography:
• Extensive landfilling of the northern portions of the site has taken place. "Up to ten feet of
this landfill reportedly covers the northern half of the Site and prese nts a recognized
environmental condition due to the unknown nature of materials landfilled ." (Ref 1 p4-7)
• "Historical records indicate that all solid and liquid wastes were previ ously di s posed o f
on the property. These foundry wastes include black foundry sa nds, clay , sla g, sc rap iro n
and steel and organic compounds. Foundry wastes and soils were used to level the GIW
property. Landfilled foundry wastes have generally elevated the GIW property above th e
surrounding grade." (Ref 3 -pl-1,1-2)
• The entry drive into Stearns Rogers (2701 South Elati Street) rises up about 10 feet
indicating the area of fill on the property . (Ref 3 Figure 4 )
5.7 Defective or unusual conditions of title rendering the title nonmarketable
The following is presented as evidence of defective or unusual conditions of title
rendering the title nonmarketable:
• A former owner who entered into a Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) ha s placed a Deed
restriction on the GIW property. This restriction included a Protecti ve Covenant and
Environmental Management Plan restricting uses to industrial purposes. Other uses will
require a new VCP and approval from the State of Colorado.

5.8 Conditions that endanger life or property by fire or other causes
The following is presented as evidence of the existence of conditions that endan ger
life or property b y fire or other causes:
• The Steams-Roger Fabricators, Inc. property is the location of the former Tube Sh o p . "The
Tube Shop was built entirel y on landfilled foundr y wastes as determined fr om GI W
(General Iron Works) file re view . Two deep pits approximately 23 meters (75 feet ) d ee p
continues to be used to construct and test nuclear reactor rod removal and in stall a ti on
equipment on this property. (Ref 3 p 1-11 )
• The GIW s ite has its own pri vate water lines . The hose thread s on the on-site fir e h ydrants
do not match existing hose threads on Englewood Fire Department equipment
• The sprinkler system for the Pattern Storage Building was di sconnected when Gen e ral
Iron wa s sold . Thi s two-s tor y building is constructed of hea vy wood timbers \-vith an
o pen wood grate fl oor between the fir st and second le v el s. Ther e is n o fire p ro tec tio n fo r
thi s building .
• Exten sive large underground pits exist within the GIW s ite . These are located w it hi n the
Plate Shop (35 Feet deep) and ju st north of the Plate Shop; former mo ldin g pit wi th the
Foundry Building: former pump pit and distillate tank pit north of th e Foundry Bu ilding;
fuel oil tank pit north of the former Milling Room; and Quench Oil Bas in northw es t f th e
Pattern Shop. These pits have not been used since General Iron shut d own. (Ref 1-Figur e

5.9 Environmental contamination of buildings or property;
The following is presented a s evidence of environmental contamination o f building
or property:
• The Pattern Shop has potential a sbestos containing material in the vi cinity o f th e s uth ea t
entrance. (Ref 1 -p4-2)
• The Cleaning Shed Warehouse was identified with "the following area s o f potential
recognized environmental conditions: possible spills / leaks from the o il qu enching bas in ,
AST s (Above-ground Storag e Tanks ) and related piping system; contaminated cas tin g
sand /slurry waste residue, heav y metals from sand bla s ting and deburring opera ti ons
and potential ACM (Asbes tos Containi11 g Mat erial) in the in sulati on material on cei li ngs a nd
wall s." (Ref 1 -p4-3 )
• Th e Foundry building was identified with " the following are as o f p o tenti a l recogn ized
en vi ronmental conditions: hi s toric s torage and handling of acidi c ma te ri a l so uth of th e
fo rmer furnaces , Pote ntial ACM's in the ins ulation material on the ceilin g and wa ll s,
hea vy metals in soil s, the subsurface pit near the east interior wall , th e form e r di s till a te
tank pit (UST) (U11d ergro1111d Stora ge Tank ) and subsurface piping in th e north end of the
foundry."(Ref 1 -p4-3 )
• The Plate Shop building wa s identified with " the following area s o f potenti a l recogn ize d
en v ironmental conditions: potential heav y metal s in shallow so il s a s oc ia ted with fo rm e r
o peratio ns, res idual fuel in shallow so il s a ssociated with the bel ow g rad e tr es re li ev in g
furnace ." (Ref 1 -p4-5 )
• Extensive landfilling of the northern portions of the site has taken place. "Up to te n fee t o f
this landfill reportedly covers the northern half of the Site and presents a recogniz ed
env ironmental condition due to the unknown nature of material s landfill ed ." (Ref 1 p4-7)

5.9 Environmental contamination of buildings or property;
' '
• The Machine Shop building was identified with " the following areas of potential
recognized environmental conditions: possible heavy metals in the soils beneath exi s ting
floors; possible ACM's in the insulation on the ceiling and the walls; possible PCB
containing fluids in the stored transformers, observed well monuments associated with a
reported soil bio-venting remediation system for hydrocarbon impacted vadose zone soils,
observed drums and observed UST adjoining north of the facility ."(Ref 1 P4-5 )
• The Forge Shop building was identified with " the following areas of potential recognized
environmental conditions: potential heavy metals in soils and residual petroleum fuel
associated with fueling of former furnaces in the shop." (Ref 1 p4-5 )
• Table 1 details the presence of soil contamination. Arsenic is present in the top 2 feet of
the site in values that exceed risk based Tier 2 Values for residential and indus trial uses.
• Table 1 details the presence of soil contamination. Lead is present in the top 2 feet of th e
site in values that exceed risk based Tier 2 Values for residential and industrial uses .
• Table 1 details the presence of soil contamination. Manganese is present in the top 2 feet
of the site in values that exceed risk based Tier 2 Values for residential and indus trial uses.
• "Concentrations of PAHs, including benzo(a)pyrene, exceed risk based Tier 2
Values in surface soils for a large portion of the study area. The majority of PAH
impacted surface soils are coincident with soils impacted by arsenic ."(Ref 3 p5-1)
• "Concentrations of PAHs in soils deeper than 2 feet are above Tier 2 Values
protective of groundwater. Impacted soils are found throughout the central and
southwestern portions of the Site. The area of impacted subsurface soils that appears
to be contributing to groundwater impacts is limited to the southwestern portions of
the Site near the former Quench Oil Basin." (Ref 3 p5-1)
• Concentrations of manganese in groundwater beneath the Site exceed Colorado
groundwater standards. Elevated concentrations of manganese, above the
Colorado groundwater standards, were also identified in monitoring wells
located upgradient of the Site" (Ref3 p5-1)(Table 2)
• "Tetrachloroethylene concentrations exceed Colorado groundwater standards in
portions of the Site and appear to be related to an upgradient source"(Ref 3 p5-
1) (Table 2)

H. TO IMPLEMENT the 1979 Englewood Comprehensive Plan as amended
by Resolution Number 92, Series of 1999 and the Denver Regional Council
of Governments Mile High Compact and the Metro Vision 2020 Plan
adopted by the City of Englewood, to insure the orderly growth of the
City of Englewood .
III. AREA BOUNDARIES
The boundaries of the Area are illustrated in Exhibit 1, and described as follows :
Tile industrial zone (1-1, 1-2 ) art'a , so11tli of Yal t' A ve 1111 e to Dart111 011th A1'1:'1111t'. bo 1111d l.'d

l-1 and I-2 boundary .
IV. PLAN RELATIONSHIP TO LOCAL OBJECTIVES
The Plan is in conformance with the 1979 Comprehensive Plan as amended by re so lu-
tion Number 92, Series 1999 entitled "A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMEND-
ME. T TO THE TRANSPORTATION SECTION OF THE ENGLEWOOD COMPRHE\:-
SlVE PLAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE IMPACT OF IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SANT A FE
DRIVE , SOUTH PLA TIE RIVER CORRJOOR AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM ON THE LAND USES AND THE TRANSPORTATION IN THIS
SANT A FE CORRIOOR. The modification to the City of Englewood's Comprehensi\·e
plan s tate ·:
" Construction of the light rail mass transit system through Englewood makes a
dramatic change in the way the community is served b y trans it and offers sig-
nificant new opportunities for the land that adjoins the line and su rround s the
s tati ons. Specifically, much of the adjoining land now in industrial and imilar
uses will become attractive for residential, retail and other commercial de\·el o p-
ment, which will benefit from light rail access . Land u se and zo ning deci s io ns
sho uld be closel y coordinated with trans portation system development to capi-
talize on these new opportunities and to eliminate o bs tacles to them."
The Plan places special emphasis on the following local objectives :
A.
8 .
Redevelopment of the General Iron Works Subdivisio n (the "GIW Subdi-
vision"), which has documented environmental contamination throu gh-
out the site as shown in the Conditions Survey;
Development of a transit oriented urban village that is compact, ha a
mixture of retail / commercial/ office uses and that places emphasis o n
home ownership opportunities;

C. Pro motion of private investment that responds to the public investment
along the Light Rail Southwest corridor;
D. Removal of environmental and other conditions of blight that detrimen-
tally affects the orderly growth of the Ci ty ;
E. Strengthen neighborhood relationships through development of u se r-
friendl y sidewalks, pleasant tree lined s treets with improved drainage
that link the new light rail Regional Transportation Di strict ("RTD ") ta-
tion to the surrounding redevelopment area, residential area s, and to
Broadway.
F. In coordination with RTD the following joint devel o pment o bjecti ,·es a re
to be to be met by rede,·el o pment :
• Increased nder and re,·enue;
• A s i t nei ghbo rh ood and co mmunity planning goal ;
• Reduce aut o u e a nd traffic congesti o n ;
• Create im ·es tmen t pp rtun itie s for pri,·ate secto r wh ic h s uppo rt
tran it o riented development ;
• Pr ovide a sense o f co mmunity and well being at o r a ro und ~tatio ns ;
• Use ex1 ting infra tructu re to s uppo rt devel o pment need o f the
community .
V. OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Authority and RTD will acquire the GIW Subdivision . RTD will construct a light
rail maintenance facility on the north part o f the GfW Subdivision as shown on Exhibit
2. Thi s RTD facility will extend north into the City and County of Denv er. The area
south of the RTD maintenance area will be transferred to a private developer in accor-
dance with the Act for redevelopment of a mixed-use area of housing, commercial , and
retail uses . Parcel A (Ex hibit 1) will be integrated into the mixed-use development. Thi
will be accomplished through actions of the chosen redeve lo per consistent with the
Plan, Comprehensive Plan , and City zoning regulations . A new RTD light rail stati o n
will be constructed by RTD at Bates Avenue (see Exhibit 2) that will serve the proposed
mixed-use development and the su rrounding residential neighbo rh ood . Th e s tati o n
will ha ve limited parking and serve as a "Ki ss and Ride" commuter drop-off.
VI. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed public improvements as as follows :

Streets and alleys in the development will be paved, upgraded and new
sidewalks installed . Any required drainage improvements will be in-
stalled as redevelopment occurs.
B. Pedestrian Linkage to Neighborhoods
Sidewalks from the Area to the existing neighborhoods adjoining the Area
will be upgraded to City standards; Handicap ramps will be installed as
necessary . Street trees will be planted to upgrade the Area . To insure sa fe
pedestrian movement, street lighting will be upgraded with the installa-
tion of pedestrian scale lights throughout the Area .
VII. PLANNING AND DESIGN ST AND ARDS
Transit Oriented Development ("TOD ") is real-estate devel o pment influenced by and
supportive o f transit service, and i re s ponsive to the market created by tran s it riders .
Transit oriented development combines both design principle and policy principles
and are as much a land use-planning tool as it is a development tool. Sometimes re-
ferred to as transit supportive development, TOD makes a connection between land use
and transportation and creates an efficient land use scheme as it enhances transit rider-
ship .
The planning and design standards that are to be applied to the Area are found in the
City of Englewood Comprehensive Plan and in the City of Englewood Zoning ordi-
nances as they maybe amended from time to time . It is the intention of the City to
adopt a s pecial overlay-zoning district to facilitate Trans it Oriented Development in the
Area . In addition the Authority is authorized to adopt design s tandards and guidelines
applicable to the Area .

Letter to Arapahoe County Commissioners regarding
Proposed Urban Renewal Area Impacts on County
A copy of a letter to the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners is included in the Cit y
Council information packet this week . The letter is being sent to the County with a copy of the
Conditions Survey and Plan as required by the State Urban Renewal statute . Council is also
receiving copies of the Conditions Survey and Plan supponing a Council Bill on first reading .
The letter to Arapahoe County was prepared with the assistance from a local economist and
reviewed by legal counsel for the EURA and the City. The letter is focused on the specific
issues required by the statute. Certain assumptions must be made in order to calculate the
economic costs and benefits . The assumptions are a "best guess" with the information currently
available . The main development assumptions include the potential for 1,500 residential units .
40.000 square feet of neighborhood serving commercial. and 200.000 square feet of office . The
financial assumptions are meant to be realistic yet conservative . State statute does not require
any action from the County Commission .

projec ted impacts o f that Plan o n Arapahoe C o unt y. as required under C o lo rado Revised Statute
C.R .S . 31 -25 -lO i(J )(5 ).
(a) The estimated duration or time to complete the urban renewal projecL The project is
currentl y in c onceptual s tage with construction specifics to be determined as de velopment
proposals are solicited and a de velopment team selected. Upon c ompleti o n. the transit
oriented de velopment project is anticipated to include 1.500 for-sale residential units . 40.000
square feet of supporting retail de velopment. and 200.000 square feet o f o ffi c e bu ilding
de velopment.
Site preparation work is e .\pected to begin in 200 l. wh ic h will e ma il demo liu o n .

The retail component is expected to be initiated in 2002. in respo nse to impro vi ng
demogra phics .
(h) The estimated annual properly lax increment to be generated by the urban renewal
project and the portion or such property tax increment to be allocated during this time
period to rund the urban renewal project. A specific financing strategy has not yet been

the impacts reported herein are based on analysis assuming 100% of the increment will be
used to fund the project for the entire 25-year urban renewal period.
Tax increment projections reported herein are developed in accordance with methodology
proscribed in the Colorado Assessors Administrative and Assessment Procedures. issued
pursuant to 39-2-109(l)(e), C .R .S . The following assumptions are used to estimate the tax
increment :
Reuse Acuvities (current$}
Value of building demolition/personal property removed (2001 ): $582.960
Total c onstruction cost -Residential component (2002 to 2010): $225 .0 million
Total construction cost -Office component (200:!): $14.0 million
Total construction c ost -Retail/Commercial component (:!003): $2A million
Value of taxable personal property relocated to the site (2002/2003): 54. l million
Of course, development will occur over time . Dunng reassessment years. the base val ue
used to calculate the increment will be adjusted upward by the County Assessor to ensure
that only those increases in property ta.~e s attributable to the rede velopment project are used
to pay project related debt. In evaluating the increment over time. a 3% growth rate 1s
assumed for the underl ying real estate and m.irket.

(c) Any other estimated impacts of the urban renewal project on county services or revenues.
The project area is wholly within the City of Englewood and the City provides the majority of
local government services . However, Arapahoe County does provide services and collect
revenues attributable to businesses and residents in the project area . The economic and fiscal
impacts evaluated herein are those attributable to property taxes changes. new residents, and
new businesses locating to the completed redevelopment project. Impacts on the County have
been estimated over the ten-year project construction period, 2001 through 2010 .
Fiscal impacts represent public revenues and costs incurred by Arapahoe County that are
attributable to the new development. Economic impacts represent the consumption of goods and
services provided by County-based entities including purchases of construction materials.
construction wages , purchases of business furniture . fixtures and equipment. o ther material s for
busines s operations, and household expenditures . (see chans page 5 )

COUNCIL COMMUHICATION

Subject Professional Services
Contract for Centennial Park
Environmental -Voluntary
Cleanup Plan Implementation
Staff Source
Jerrell Black, Director of Parks & Recreation
Rick Kahm, Engineering Manager
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council appropriated funds for expansion of Centennial Park during the 2001 Budget process. and
authorized acquisition of two land parcels for Centennial Park expansion and construction of the
Rockies baseball fields. At the November 20 , 2000 Study Session, City Council directed staff to
pursue a negotiated contract for this work .
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff seeks Council's support of a motion awarding a professional services contract to E-21
Engineering, Inc., for Centennial Park Environmental -Voluntary Cleanup Plan Implementation in the
amount of $559,040.74.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
At this time , staff recommends pursuing the Brownfields Loan for this project . The project costs in
utilizing Federal funding are approximately $80 ,000 higher than the contract negotiated without Federal
funding . Community Development believes that our chances of obtaining this Brownfields Loan are
extremely likely. The advantages of utilizing this loan are that we get a 10-year repayment period at a
two percent interest rate, and there is a strong possibility that we can defer loan payments until the
third year . Staff believes that the two percent interest rate will offset the additional costs we are
incurring during the construction of the project.
The maximum loan available to Englewood is $425 ,000 . However, Community Development will
pursue an increased loan amount up to the entire amount of this contract ($559,040 .74).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
In the event that this loan is not approved, adequate funding for the environmental phase of this project
is available in the Public Improvement Fund and the Conservation Trust Fund .

InterOff ice Memo
TO: Dan Brotzman, City Attorney
FROM: Steve Dazzio, Chief Account~
DATE: November 28 , 2000
SUBJECT: Englewood Downtown Development Authority (EDDA) Propeny Tax
Refund
Per discussion with Sue Whelan, Arapahoe County Treasurer's Office, there is no vehi c le
within the County 's system that is able to refund property taxes paid by taxpayers when
an entity is dissolved. They can and often do refund propeny taxes via a temporary mill
levy reduction (i .e., TABOR refund) but cannot when the mill le vy is zero . ln other
words, the County cannot process a "negative" mill levy, which would be the case with
the EDDA.
lfthe City Council decides to continue the EDDA mill levy in 2001 and later determines
to refund the propeny taxes paid to the EDDA, staff will work with the County to
determine the amount of tax paid by each taxpayer. Accounting will then issue each
taxpayer a physical check.
Based on a report from the County generated in September, 1997 , there are 3 73 real and
personal propeny accounts within the EDDA that would receive refund checks.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call me at x24 l 0 .
