(a) Acting Director Romans presented a recommendation from the City
Planning and Zoning Comnission to adopt a bill for an ordinance amending Title
16, Chapter 4, Section 18 of the Englewood Municipal Code/Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance with reference to the landscaping provisions of said ordinance. Ms .
Ro.ans explained that the landscape Ordinance wa s adopted in 1984. About two
years ago the Co.aission began reviewing the landscaping provisions and had
sublli tted the proposed a~~~end~~~ents to C Hy Council in April 1987. Upon the
request of the Greater Englewood Cha.ber of Ca..erce, Council had delayed ap-
proving the changes and referred the 1111endlllents back to the Planning COIIIIIis-
sion who then worked closely with the Cha.ber's Govern.ental Affairs liaison
Co.aittee . The a.ena.ents which are being presented have been approved by the
Chlllber's co.aittee, were considered by the Planning C iss ion at a publ ic
hearing on february 17, 1988, and are less restrictive than those subllltted to
the Council in April of 1987 . Ms . Ro.ans stated that four rs of the Co.-
Mission were present as was the Chairaan of the Gov rnMental Affa irs liaison
Co.aittee, should Council wish to direct any qu stions to th . Discuss ion
ensued relative to SOlie of the a~~~endllents; h r, it was th cons nsus of
Council that further discussion of this 81tter should be postponed until th Public Hearing.

and the action before City Council at th t s tiMe is the vacation only of the 17
feet on the east side of Jason . Pursuant to an earlier agree~~~ent with the
Urban Renewal Authority and City Council, this 17 feet is at this ti111e ut i-
1 ized as parking, sidewalk , curb and gutter . Discussion ensued rehtive to
the liability the City •ight incur on both sides of the street as a result of
this vacation, and a question was raised concerning vacating 17 feet on the
west side as well as the east side. Mr. McCown said he would be wil ling to
contact Pennant Properties and propose that action; however , it would still be
appropriate at this ti~~e to approve the bill for an ordinance vacat i ng the 17 feet on the east.

Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
lACK &ROUND
The landscape Ordinance was adopted by Ordinance No. Z, Series of 1984 and
became effective in mid -February of that year. The concept of a landscape
ordinance In Englewood wa s suggested during the consideration of the revisions
to the COMprehensive Plan fn 1978 and 1979, at which time, the Improvement of
the visual quality of th city wa s a primary focus .
Af er having enforced h Landscape Ordinance for two or three years, It be -
ca apparent that certain s c ions of the Ordinance re not easily lnter-
pr ted and In sa.e cases, th r quir nts re elth r too restrictive or not
producing th d sired visual ff ct. Th staff and th Co.Misston MeMbers
wor d tog th r to try to cl ar fy th provisions of th Ordtnanc and finally

amendments . Bob Marx, a member of the Committee, was present 1nd spoke in
favor of the proposed amendments. No one was present who wished to 1ddress
the Commission in opposition to the proposed lmendMents.

thought to the intent of the l1ndsc1pe Ordin1nce 1nd to the pr1ctic1lity of
its require.ents 1s 1pplied to the properties in the City. The Co..ission ~rs are of the opinion th1t the proposed a.en~nts 1re necess1ry for the
cont i nued successful enforce.ent of the Ordinance. The ...oers of the City
Planning and Zoning Co..ission reca..end that the City Council set a date for
a Publtc Heart, to c .. stder the proposed IMen~nts to the landscape Or -

IV. REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT.
Mr s. Romans introduced Mr. Roger Mutz fro. the Regional Transportation
Dis trict.
Mr . Hutz stated that House Bill 11249 was passed last year. In response to
th is Bill, RTD set out to develop a regional rapid transit systeM. Mr. Mutz
pr esented a slide show of various types of rapid transit syst .. s, such as the
li ght rail transit, high occupancy vehicle lanes, auto.ated guideway transit ,
gui ded bus, etc . The slide show also addressed issues such as routes, cost
es t i mate s , sources of funding, construction ti .. tables, and technologies to be
us ed . At the close of the slide show, Mr . Mutz asked for questions frOM the
Commissi on .
Mr s. Russell stated that she was fa•iliar with the rapid transit syst .. in
Chic ago, wh i ch goes through high density residential areas and is readily ac -
cessi ble by a large ridership . The Denver .. tro area is so spread out , how
wi l l potent i al r i ders get fro-their places of residence to the rap i d tran sit
s tat i on s . Mr . Mutz suggested park 'n ride lots will be used; large 2,000
vehicle lot s i n th e outlying suburban areas, and the closer in area s can use
the bus syste.. Mrs . Ru ssell sugge sted that RTD •ight consider the use of
smaller park 'n ride lot s . Mr. Mutz s tated that they will also look at joi nt
use facili t ies, s uch as shopp i ng center parking areas . Mr . Mutz slated that
t he park i ng needs along the trans i t corridors have yet to be dete~i ned , and
av aila bi l i t y of area for park 'n r i de s along the corridors has al so to be
de t en11i ned .
Hr . F1sh s at ed that i t app ared t he tran si t sys t .. is a "s pok e syst .. •; how

proximity to bring people into the area.
Mrs. Romans pointed out that when discussion of a Park 'n Ride location near
Cinderella City has been considered, It was in the area north of the shopping
center, not in the existing custo.er parking areas. Mr. Fish stated that a
Park 'n Ride in close proximity to the shopping center could encourage shoppers.
General discussion on the various types of rapid transit ensued. Mr. Schultz
asked how weather might affect an auto.ated guideway transit if such were to
be developed In the Denver area. Mr . Mutz pointed out that this syst .. Is
used successfully in West Gen.any, and the weather Is very sl•ilar to that of
Colorado .
Mr. Schultz discussed his trip to Vancouver, B. C. during Expo '86 and the
public transportation systa. used there. He stated that a ticket for Sl.25
would allow a rider to use any fon. of the transportation systa., and that one
could get to al.ost any point quite easily, quickly, and safely. The system
was very convenient to the custa.er, and the ridership was high. Mr. Schultz
s tated that he would like to see a syst .. designed for the Denver .. tro area
which would allow riders access within walking distance, and would elt•tnate
the need for private autoaobtles to be used to get to a Park 'n Ride.
Mr . Mutz discussed the probl .. s of designing such a syst .. with the lower
residential densities that IUch of the Denver .. tro area has; this .. Y change
with an Influx of population, however, or a change In population centers .
Mr . Fish stated that Washington, D.C. also has a good rapid transit syst ...
Mrs . Romans agreed, and stated that she found the syst .. in Washington, D.C .
to be clean, quick and convenient .
Mr . Schultz asked why the plan appears to .. ke use of several syst .. s before a
f inal overall syst .. s t~osed . Mr. Mutz st ated that part of this Is a
refl c ion of the various population centers and needs to be served, and part
Is deter. ned by the financing required .
Fi nan e ng and the acquis ition of right -of -way .. re discussed .
The rid rship on the RTD bu ses wa s also discussed . Mr . Carson and Mr . Draper
both stat d that they had seen •any buses traveling South Broadway that had
v ry f pass ngers, and that they had never seen a bus that wa s full . Mr .
Ba tr sta t d that the routes that ext nd to d tOWft Otnver fill up at Ala .

Santa Fe corridor, one must "get in line for the funds", and that it could
take about 18 months before construction could begin.
Mr . Carson asked Mr. Baker why the Santa Fe Corridor was chosen. Mr. Baker
stated that this corridor has great potential for ridership, is a very cost
efficient corridor, and a great deal of the right-of-way is already acquired .
Discussion of a transit corridor on C-470 was discussed, as was the Transit
Construction Authority's plan for the 1-25 corridor .
Mr . Hanson thanked Mr . Mutz and Mr. Baker for their attendance and the presen -tation to the Commission.

No one was present to address the Commission under Public Foru..
VI . DIRECTOR'S CHOICE.

ted by the Co..issi on for 1985/1986 . Mrs . Ro.ans identified several of the
goals whi ch have been acca.pl1shed . She suggested that the -..btrs of the
Commissi on review these goals, and be prepared to •ake additions to the list
and discuss goals for 1988 · 1989 at the next Meeting .
Mr s . Russell excused herself fro. the Meeting .

of South J aso n Street on first read ing at the .. etlng on February 16th .
Mr s . Ro ans as ked that I f any -..bers of th Co.alss1on have questions about
any att r before It, to plea se call her rather than other --.bers of the
sta f . Mr s. Ro.ans pointed out that she Is the ex ·offl cl o -..btr of the Co.·
Mission app oi nted by the City Manag er, and that In order to carry out that
responsibility effectively, she pr fers to be the s taff cont act.
In r spons to a query fro. Mr . Hanson, Mr s. R ns stated that ther

would suggest that it be cleared with the City Attorney to determine any pos-
sible ramifications on the sutt. Mr. Carson stated that he dtd not feel thts
issue needed to be cleared wtth the Ctty Attorney, and that the Ctty Charter

No . 4, a Bill for an Ordinance vacating a specific portion of the right -of-way
in the 3500 block of South Jason Street, on first reading. A condition of the
vacation was the retention of ease.ents in the vacated right-of-way for emer-
gency access and vehicular access across the roadway and for utilities.
The Matter of the Maintenance of the vacated roadway (snow re.oval and re-
pairs) was not specifically addressed in the Bill for Ordinance and this point
was raised as a concern of several people. The proposed Maintenance of the
roadway after its vacation was discussed with representatives of Pennant Prop-
erties, Inc . following the February 16 Council .eeting. Upon reconsideration
by the representatives of Pennant, they agreed that in spite of the original
agree.ent, that the conditions for vacating the west 43 feet of the right-of-
way probably do not exist, inasMUch as the roadway would have to be retained
for access to the abutting properties and the utility lines would have tore-
main within that portion of the right -of-way. For this reason, Pennant has
asked that the request for the vacation of the 60 foot right-of-way be ~.ended
by deleting the vacation of the west 43 feet of the right-of-way .
The revised vacation request was considered by the .eMbers of the City Plan -
n i ng and Zoning Co..ission at its Meeting on March 22, 1988 .
It I s the f ndtng of the City Planning and Zoning Co.atsslon that there i s no
publ i c purpose to be served by the retet~tton of the east 17 feet of the rigtlt -
of -way for South Jason Street In the 3500 block, and for this reason , the C•-
Mi sslon rec-..nds that that portion of the right -of-way as described In the
attached legal description as Parcel A and Parcel 8 be vacated .
