X. XNTRODUCTXON
Hundreds o~ thousands o~ words are written year1y about aan•s
e xp1oitation of natura1 resources,. his aiauae of the 1and .
and the increasing1y coap1ex organization of our urban coa-
munities.. Again and agaio the aaae conc1u.aion :1.& reached :
Z f order is to be created out o~ chaos. the so1ution wi11 be
fo·und i n the process of p1anning.
In soae cases,. u .n:fortunate1y • the need for p1anning i& recog-
nized on1y after the aost undeairab1e kinds o:f deve1op.ent
have taken p1ace. Many ca.aunities are :forced to accept the
idea of p1anning because they 1itera11y have no a1ternative.
Eng1ewood :1.& fortunate in that it baa not yet deteriorated to
that poiat. but 1et u .s not be1ieve that we are ~une to the
diseases that have stricken sO •any urban areas. Bnc1ewood
has an opportun~ty to act now to ~prove ~tae1f rather than
react~ng in years to ca.e ~the cooaequencea o~ a ca.piacent
citizenry o~ the past •
P1anning baa as its purpose the protection and steady ~prove
meat o~ tbe eavironaent in wbicb we 1ive. Tbe dictionary de-
fines ••p1annioa•• as ror..iD& a acb.,.. or .. tbocl -r.or dot.na ~e
tbing. As app11.ed to cities. tbi• .aaa. tbe ~or.au1ation o-r
p1ans and ob~ectives ror 4be srowtb and ~proveaeat o~ the
area. and the provisions ~or achieving theae ob~ectives. But
p1anning is •ore than 1ooking into the ~uture. It is a con-
tinuing process which is neceaaari1y conceraed with not on1y
what wi11 be. but a1so what is and what was. We can app1y
wha t we have 1earned ~rca our past •i&takes to our future goa1 s
through a sound ~ramework o£ present goa1s and po1icies.
There are •any ai s conceptions a& to what City P1ann~ng actua 1 1y
is . One o£ the mos t confusing i& the erroneous n~ion t ha t
z on i n g is p1anning and v i sa-versa. Zoning is on1y a 1ega1
i mp1eaentation too1 of p1anning used to practic~1y effect
certain features o~ the Caaprehensive P1an. It ~s very often
true that zon~ng precedes p1ann~ng. but ~t is soon rea1ized
tha t zoning can on1y operate errective1y if p1anniuc gives di-
rection and reason as to what is zoned. This ~a not •eant to
de-empbas~ze tbe i•portance of zoning. but rather on1y to put
it in its proper perspect~ve as one of the e1eaenta of p1anning.
P1anning ahead is good business. It ~& an eaaentia1 ingredient
in tbe bigb1y coapetitive task of pra.o~ec order1y growth and
econoa~c vita1ity in metropo1itan areas. Baaed upon ita qua1ity

prograa is o£ ~oreaoat ~portance as a deterainant o r the
avai1abi1ity o£ £edera1 funds for cities.
A city does not reaain static--it either grows and prospers
or decays and withers. Growth occurs outward aa surrounding
vacant 1and is deve1oped and upward as exiating deve1opaent
i s intensified. Additiona1 growth reeu1ts as o1der bui1t-up
a r eas are redeve1oped witb different types o£ uses. P1anning

P1anners study tbe trends of growth. the natura1 1and charac-

~be 1oca1 econa.ic Bituation and opportun~tiea. and the de-
sires of the ca.aunity as to wbat k~nd o~ p1ace it .-nta to

1and, prov~aiona for circu1ation. ~aci1itiee for ca.-unity
services auab •• parka• &tor. eewer• and water aupp1y. The
proposa1s are then subaitted to pub1ic diacussio~refined and
amended. and adopted as the Ca.prebensive P1an. Thereafter,
the p1anner •u&t continue to watch and study the growth and
change of the ca.-unity. and to app1y the basic p1an to speci f -
ic situations throueb ~p1e•entation too1s such as zoning ad-
m i n i stration. subdivision ~ofttro1 and other •eans •
City deve1o~nt is not so1e1y the function ar •unicipa1 covern-
aent. It is a cooperative ef~ort between pub1ic and private
enterprise. An active interest in the City•a future must be
taken by the various civic groups such as tbe Chaaber of eo.-
merce. the Jaycees, tbe various •ercbanta aaaociatiooa. and
others. Every citizen baa a v~ta1 stake in the future of his
community and in tbe p1anning process used to achieve tbe coa-

concern, and a sect'ion o n the ""H1sto:ry and Charac ter·· of
the City. Tbe individual sections pertain to (1) ·•A Place
to Live .. , the development and maintenance of the neighbor-
hood concept; (2) uPo pu 1 ation and Land Useu; (3) "'Pub1ic
Faci1itiesu: (4) u aecreation P1anu: (5) ''Drainage Plan'"'";
(6) "'Master Stree 1: Plan •·; and (7) .. Centra1 Business Dis-
trict•• ...
After the preparation of the P1a ~, the Commission pub-
1icizes its proposals in various ways--through the news-
pape r, pub1ic meetings, pub1ications, etc.--and then
gives the pub1ic an opportuni~y to discuss the p1an at

R-~-A ZONE DISTRICT ANALYSIS
Changes made ~n the 1963 Co•prebena~ve Zoning Ordinance reau1ted in a
substantia1 ~ncreas e in the aaount o~ 1and which was zoned R-1-A.
This change ~ro• 243 to 680 acres, can b e traced to the coabination of
the R-1-A and R-1-B Zone Districts as they existed in the 1955 Zoning
Ordinance. With this conso1idation o~ the R-1-A and R-1-B Zone Districts.
the R-1-C Zone District became R-1-B, and the R-1-D District was changed
to the present R-1-C c1asai~ication .
Overa11 , the R-1-A Zone District is we11 deve1oped with no i--ediate
ma ~or prob1ema. A tota1 o~ 30.6 acres within the Zone District are
c1assified as vacant ; this represent• 1eaa than 5~ o1 the Oistrict•a
area. Except ror a s~a11 area o~ the D~atr~ct 1ying between Un~on and
Layton. property maintenance and ~-prove•ent is at a h~gb 1eve1. with
1ess than 3~ o~ the reaident~a1 structure• coneidered ~n substandard
condition.
W~tbin the R-1-A Zone Di•trict. two-ra•i1y. •u1ti-~a•i1y. coaaerci..a1
and i..ndustr~a1 1and ueea are cooaidered oon-con~ora~ng. Since tbi• i..•
the •o at restrictive Reaideoti..a1 Zone. it ia encouraging to note that
1esa than three acre•. or 1esa tban o.~~ or the tota1 area in tbe
District i..a uti1~zed by Kon-c o nro r•inc Uaea. Tbia ~11u•tratee the
-~~ect zoning can p1ay in guiding ca..unity deve1opaent.

R-1-B ZONE DISTRICT ANALYSIS
The R-1-B Zone D~str~ct compr~ses 1ess than 150 acres ~n two separate
areas o~ the City, one in the southeast and the other in the southwest.
The ~oat notab1e contrast between the two areas ia tbe ~act that prac-
tica11y no vacant 1and exists in the eastern section, wbi1e in tbe
western there are 10.0 acres. It •u•t be noted, however, that there
is considerab1e construction go~ng on in this area and it abou1d soon
be co.p1ete1y deve1oped in &ing1e-~aai1y uae.
The number of substandard residentia1 structures in the R-1-B Zone
District is neg1igib1e, and Mon-confor•ing Uses are at a -~n~u •.
In suaaary, the R-1-B Zone District is atab1e, and repre•enta eo•e
of the finest reaidentia1 neighborhoods w~th~n the C~ty.

SUMMARY OF THE R-2 ZONE DISTRICTS
There are 309 acres~ R-2-A or R-2-B w~tb~n ~be City. Of this
amount. on1y 24 acres are actua11y in two-~ami1y residential..~-A
very 1arge percentage, near1y as high as that ~ouod within the R-1
Zone Districts, is in one-fa•i1y use. Wbil..e s~ng1e-fami1y dwe11ing&
are not the prim.ary intended use in the District:., they a.r~ nevertbel..ess •
1ega1 and con~orming.
The total.. 1and area in the R-2 Zone Districts was increased &1igbt1y
at the time that the 1963 Comprehensive zoning Ordinance was adopted .
One puroose o£ the District was to act as a '"buffer•• between Singl..e-
fami1y Zone Districts and co .. ercia1 devel..o~ent al..ong Broadway. How-
ever, the District bas not devel..oped as intended; new two-1a•11y unit
deve1opment bas been a1most neg1~gib1e. During the years between 1963
and 1969. on1y eight permits were issued for dup1ex construction.
Inc1uding those areas outside o~ the R-2 Zone Diatr~cts as we11 aa the
:~!e~!~~r!~!~9 o;h~~= :::1~~~o:!~:!e!~e 5=~~~;-c!:v!~£;1-r!!! ~~=~1e-

cause of the prox~aity to Fort Logan 9 per•ona were urged to provide
additiona1 housing ~o r the aervice•en and tbe~r faai11ee in their
basements and garages. A survey or ca.parab 1e aate11ite cities in the
oat1on revea1a an average o~ about 4% o ~ tbe~r areaa uaed r o r two-
faai1y deve1o~ent, wbi1e Eng1ewood baa 1eaa than ~ of ita tota1 area

Approxi•ate1y 8.4~ o f the t o ta1 reeid entia1 pro perty in t he R -2 Z o ne

not exce•aive1y high since this Zone ~etrict o ccupies o1d er •ectiona
of the City. But it does signi~y that redeve1opaent o~ tbeee areaa
wou1d be of va1ue.
Because or the 1ack or vacant 1and within tbe R -2 area, any ~•~or

R-3-A ZONE DISTRICT ANALYSIS
Oo1 y a sma11 percentage of the R-3-A Zone D~str~ct ~s deve1oped ~n the
intend e d b1gh-dens1ty, mu1t 1 -f ami1y use. Less than 4% of the entire
D1strict is now d e voted to mu1ti-£amiLy dwe11ing units. Two-£ami1y
un its within the District occupy s1ight1y 1ess acreage, 1esa than 3%.
The 1argest p ercentage o f the area in the District (13~) is in sing1e-
~a m i1y use. A1though sing1e-fami1y dwe11ings are not the primary in-
~ende d ~ f or the District , they are sti11 considered conforming. Two-
£ami1y d we11ings, however, are considered non-conforming.
S1ight1y over two acr e s of the r e sidentia1 property in the District is
considered in substandard condition.
The amount o f vacant 1and in tbe District ia obvioua1y an i•portant
d eterminant in f uture mu1ti-£ami1y dwe11ing cooatruction. Inc1uding
tbe property o:f the form.er ••JCLZ•• site, the R-3-A vacant 1and tota1 i..s
now over 70 acres. This by far aurpaaaea the aaount o:f vacant acreage
in t h e other Residentia1 Districts. I:f tbi..s property was coap1ete1y
deve 1oped in mu1ti-fami..1y dwe11inga, over 70% o:f the enti..re District
wou1d be in the 1nteoded ~.
The Denver Regiona1 Council. of Governaenta {DRCOG) aa we11 aa other
pub1ic agencies have predicted that Eng1ewood wi11 have a 1arge portio n
o:f its o1der residentia1 area deve1oped with •u1ti-faai1y use by 1980.
Even now, al.though over 80% o~ the ree~deat~a1 zone districts are de-
signed for sing1e-faail.y use, on1y tbe R-3 Districts have 1es& tban
four dwe11ing units per usabl.e acre.
Whi1e it i..s a d vi..•ab1e t o :first deve1o p the existing R -3 -A Z o ne District,
it wou1d appear 1ike1y that addi..tio na1 areas wi11 be zoned for au1ti-
£ami..1y ~ in the future. De~ore aore l.aod ia rezoned ror this purpose ,
however , carefu1 st-udy auat be given to the abil.ity of the various de-
partments to service tbe high-density areaa. Pol.ice and Fire protection,
parks and recreation ~acil.itie&, water and sanitary aewera. atora drain-
age , achoo1a, and adequate parking and pu b l.ic trau.portatio n a11 aust
be considered. I~ these pub1ic 1aci1itiea are i..nadequate to hand1e

R-3-B ZONE DISTRICT ANALYSIS
The R-3-B Zone D~strict bas aLaost been doub1ed in size since the
adoption of the 1963 Comprebeneive Zoning Ordinance . As was ~ound
in ~be R-3-A District, it is not satiaractori1y deve1oped in the in-
tended uRe . A1though there are about 25 more acres o~ •u1ti-~ami1y
units in the R-3-B District than there are in the R-3-A District ,
the amount is sti11 on1y 17% of the tota1 R-3-B area. The R-3-B
Zoo is expanding more than the other zones in the City. having in-
creased by approximate1y 35 acres in tbe past year . About 25 of
these acres were immediate1y put into •u1ti-faai1y reaidentiause.
A& in the other Residentia1 ~stricta of the City, sing1e-fami1y
dwe11ings a1so dominate this ~strict. However . in contrast to the
R-2 res~deotia1 areas. mu1ti-~a•i1y un~ts are ateadi1y rep1acing the
o1d er. d eter~orat~ng ooe-~aa~1y hoaes .
The amount of vacant 1and can be one •eaaure o~ potent~a1 new deve1op-
m e ot . In the R-3-B Z -one Distr~ct . tbere are 28 acres a1ready deve1op-
e d with mu1ti-~aai1y uaea. and about 16 acres of vacant 1and. or about
44 acres co•b~ned. Th~a r~gure. tocether with the aaount or exiat~ng
substandard 1and use g~ves about 51.~ or the ~strict. or 63 .8 acres
tha~ cou1d tbeoretica11y be deve1oped in aatiafactory •u1ti-ra-~1y use.
Considering that approxi•ate1y one-rourth or the District is ueed ror
streets and a11eya. this percentage ien•t actua11y •• 1ow aa rirat
seems . However. a~oat 3~ i• ati11 ~n one-faai1y uee. which is by
far the •oat extensive 1and uee in the Di•trict. It -~•t be reae•bered
that &ing1e-ra•i1y dwe11inga. a1though not the pri~ary intended~.
are conrorming in the R-3-B c1aeairication.
The fact that the Swedish Medica1 Center and the Conaervative Baptist
Tbeo1ogica1 Seminary are 1ocated in this District accounts for the
re1ative1y high percentage of pub1ic 1and u .ae. These are conrormiog
uses within the Mu1ti-fa•i1y Zone Di•tricta. The area north or
Hampden. a1so. bas a nu•ber o~ non-con~or.ing 1ight induatria1 uses.
one of the 1argeat of wb~ch is a greenhouse wbicb occupies approximate1y
eight acres.
Tbe number of •u1ti-fa•i1y dwe11ere wbo de•ire re1ative1y abort periods
of residence within the area or who want the c o nvenience of apartaent
1iving--free fro. the cares or ho•e ownership--baa great1y increased
over the past rew years. Tbeae peop1e. •any o f the. y~ung coup1ea who
have not yet started their 1--i1ies. or o1der perBoa. who n o 1 o oger have
chi1dren at bo.e. uaua11y want to 1 o cate near their p1ace or eap1o yaent
as we11 aa near the shopping areae. pub1ic transportation. and other
pub1ic ~aci1itiee. Ir the City ia to sati•~Y thia deaand. areas ~or
additiona1 •u1ti-ra•i1y housing shou1d be a conaid eration in future
zoning po1iciea.
In contrast to sing1e and two-ra•i1y unit conatruction. the apart•ent
house bui1der, with the potentia1 of a 1arger return on bia inve•t•ent.
can better afford the higher coste invo1ved in 1and redeve1opaent.
Wi~h tbe R-3-B Zone inadequate1y deve1oped at tbi• tiae. it wou1d seea
that an effort sbou1d be •ade to encourage redeve1opaent within the
area.

SUMMARY OF R -3 ZONE DXSTRXCTS.
L e ss than 12% o f th e R-3 Zone D~stric t s is utilized for mu1ti-~ami1y
dw e llings . Conside r i ng t hat the area devoted to street and alley use
i s und e v e lopable for other uses. one could conclude that about 30%-oT
th e R-3 D1stricts is d e v e lope d as anticipated . Of the 44 acres of multi-
f amily us e within th e City . 32 acres are within the Multi-family Zone
Distric~ This '44 acres represents only 1.1% of the total ~ty area.
In a r e cent survey . th e averag e of muLti-~amily use for comparabl e cities
of ov e r 25 ,000 population is approximate ly 3%. ~ting it another way.
Engl e wood has only 1 .2 acres of multi-~a~i1y land use per 100 p e ople.
as compare d to 2 .2 acre s p e r 100 people within-£6e-cTties included ~n
t h e survey.
Th e e xtreme1y sma11 area within the C~ty wb~cb is devoted to •u1t~
£am11y 1and us e may b e du e to th e ~act that up unti1 the 1ast few years,
Eng1ewooa-Das:not bad any major industria1 or com•erc~a1 e•p1oy.ent
c e nters. The City bas served main1y as a ndoraitory ... co...unit>~ for
p e op1 e commuting to Denver, or to such ~ajor p1ants as the Martin Co.pany
southwest of Litt1eton, for work. With the construction o~ tbe
C1ndere11a City shopping comp1ex and the Continenta1 Nationa1 Bank
orfice bui1ding, higher emp1oyaent 1eve1s have sti•u1ated greater de•ands
for housing , primari1y mu1ti-fami1y housing. Within the first eight
months of 1969 a1one, 342 •u1ti-fami1y units were constructed in Eng1e-
wood. Compare this number with the 668 units bui1t in the previous
fifteen ~!
In the R-3 Zone Districts, 20.9% of the reaidentia1 area Ls considered
to be in ••substandard•• condition. This "L:i.gu.re baa re.ai..ned re1ati..ve1y
stab1e over the 1ast severa1 years as •ore 1and with deteriorating
property has been added to the R-3 Zones~ whi1e substandard units are,
at the same time, being redeve1oped by •u1ti-faai1y construction.
Over 32% of the R-3 Zone D~stricts ~s vacant. I~ deve1oped, these 89
acres wou1d increase the mu1ti-fami..1y use w~thin the City to about 133
acres . However, it is possib1e that eYeD this wi..11 not be adequate to
meet the demands in the next ten to twenty years.
Because of the high amount of sing1e-fami1y residentia1 use withi..n the
R-3 Zone Districts, the actua1 number of dwe11ing uni..ts per acre is much
1ower than the pro~ected maximum for the future. At this time, the R -3-A
District has 2.0 dwe11ing units per acre, l whi1e the R-3-B District bas
3.8~ One reason that the density appears to be so 1ow in the R-3 Dis-
tricts~ is because the area of the undeve1oped 57 acre KLZ site, the
medica1 center and a 1arge greenhouse deve1o~ent is inc1uded in the
area of the Zone ~strict&, but there are no per•anent residents on
these 1ands. Under the present regu1ations, it wou1d be possi..b1e to
bu11d 89 units per acre in the R-3-A Zone D~strict and 82 un~ts per
a c r e in the R-3-B Zone District and ati11 •eet the miniaum set back
and minimum of~-street parking require•ents. Were •ore tban one parking
spac e for each unit to be provided, or were it deairab1e to bui1d more
units on the same amount of ~and. it wou1d be necessary for the deve1oper
to provide at 1east some underground parking or parki..ng in a surface
parking structure. Because of the cost or construction of parking
structures, to this time, the tendency of the deve1oper has been to bui1d
to a 1esser density.
The popu1ation within these two Ddstricts is a1so considerab1y 1ower
at this time than it is anticipated to be in the future. The R-3-A
District has on1y 5.3 persons per usab1e acre with a •axi•u• potentia1
for 258 .1 persons per usab1e acre. and the R-3-B District present1y bas
21 .3 persons , with a maximum potentia1 ror 237.8 persons. Asa~n, ~t
~d be stressed that this maxi•u• figure ~ theoretica1. One cause
for this anticipated i..ncreased density •n Eng1ewood --y be a tendency
toward high-rise apartme nts. wbicb wi11 acco.aodate this increased
popu1at~on and at the same ti•e. maxiNize tbe use or the 1and.

An Loteres~~ng observation about housing ~n Eng1ewood is the fact that
~he overwhe1ming majority o£ sing1e-£ami1y dwe11ings in the City are
one-story. and wh e n 1arge apartment houses with severa1 f1oor s are in-
tegrated with a number of the sma11er sing1e-fami1y homes. they tend to
stand out drastica11y . Careru11y p1anned architecture. adequate o££-
street parking and 1andscaped open areas are important to creat e a unit
which wi11 comp1iment the surrounding neighborhood during the transitiooa1
pe.r:i.od .
Tt sbou1d be mentioned that a number of 1and~ other than mu1ti-fami1y
dwe11ings are permitted in the R-3 Zone Districts . Thes e are ~wh ich
are compatib1e with a high-de nsity residentia1 district such as bospita1s
and c1inics, doctors• o £~ice &, rest and nursing homes . At this time,
mote1s and motor courts are a1so permitted in this Zon e District; however,
oo1y one sma11 mote1 has been constructed and it is re1t that possib1y
such 11~pp::; wou 1d b e better 1oca.ted in a highway-orient e d Commercia1 Zon e -
The Cindere11a City comp1ex and other new businesses and offices are
creati n g new jobs; w hich in turn are attracting new residents and ~any
o£ these p e op1 e are seeking apartment acco~odations within the City .
With th e inf 1ux o f these peop1e into Eng1ewood in search of emp1oyment,
apartment housing is in more demand. If Eng1ewood is to satis~y these
d emands, provisions must b e made to provide the necessary services for
this high-density housing.
The advent o £ Cindere11a City bas aLso p1aced i•petus upon the need for
redeve1opment in the retai1 core area . With more peop1e wishing to 1ive
c1oser to work, shopping, services , and entertainaent, the Centra1 Busi-
ness Dis tric t is becoming a f avorab1e 1ocation for •u1ti-faa i 1y units.
Reside ntia1 ~~has been non-confot.ing in Eng1ewood•s ao--ercia1
zone D~stricta. due posaib1y to the serious deterioration of dwe11inga
a1ready 1ocnted there , and a desire to redeve1op the 1and with coaaercia1
~; but a1so, due to the idea that reside ntia1 ~and busin e ss~
are not compatib1e: a concept which bas changed considerab1y in recent
years. It is antic~pated that high-rise apartments and town-houses wi11
be p e rmitted in the Centra1 Business District in the current r e vis ~on
o£ Eng1ewood•s Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. which is in progress .
The prospect that the City wi11 be deve1oped in additiona1 .u1ti-fami1y
use in the future is supported by the DR.COG and the Co1orado Depa.rt•ent
~Highways. O n projected 1and ~ •apa or Eng1ewood. both agencies
indicate more •u1ti-~ami1y reaidentia1 ~~by the 1970•a. In fact.
the 1970-1980 ~ Y§£ maps sho w Eng1ewood with about o ne-ha1f of its
1and in a higher -density~ district. A1tbougb this projection •ay
seem excessive, it d oes indicate a trend ~or this area~
It is recoamended that be£ore additiona1 aing1e-£aai1y areas are zoned
f or m.u1ti-£am.i..1y use, that an atte•pt shou1d be •ade to deve1op t~
present R-3 ZonenT&tricts in •u1ti-fami1y use. The redeve1opaent o f
the substandard residentia1 are as in the R-~n e DLstricts can b e
accomp1ished by 1arge apart•ent bouse bui1ders ; the trend is. however .
t hat deve1opers, in an e"£fort to k ee p costs at a •ini•u•. 1ook. first
to avai1ab1e vacant 1and or to 1ower cost Siog1e-fami1y ZOn ed areas,
hoping the y can option it or buy it at a sing1e-fa•i1y price and get
the City to rezone it for mu1ti-fami1y us e. It is priaari1y for this
reason that we anticipate that addition~mu1 ti -f ami1y zoning of sing1e-
~ami1y are as wi11 undoubted1y b e s o ught.

FROM THE "REAL ESTATE MARKET LETTER":
Substantiating the opinion that mu1t1-~ami1y housing is in demand in
the Denver Metropo11tan area is the fo11owiog articl.e taken from the
Real. Estate Market Letter. January 20, 1969, pub1isbed by Western
Yeaerai Savings and Loan Association or Denver. With its new industry,
office bui1dings, financial. institutions and shopping comp1ex, Eng1ewood,
Col.orado, wi11 receive its share of .. apa.rtment:-dwe11ers ...
••1968's 6.,055 apartment unit starts--highest by far
since the 9,230 starts in the boom year of 1961--
have raised the question of whether apart•ent va-
cancies wi11 soar--as they did fo11owing 1961. An
ana1ysis of basic demographic events occurring in
the 1ives of our res~dents persuades us to conc1ude
that there is a robust and grow~ng market ~n the
Denver area for apart•ent units . The 1ike1ihood is
that the aupp1y o~ units wi11 1ag demand, and the
gap wi11 widen. Consider:
Deaths Deaths a1most a1waya a1ter the sbe1ter re-
qul:re•ents of the survivin.g 'Laai1ie& and re1ativea.
In ••ny cases. a bo.e is no 1onger needed and, in-
deed. cannot be maintained. Baaed on biatorica1
trends. there wi11 be an eati•ated 9.000 deaths in
the 'Live county Denver •etropo1itan area during
1969. Each of these wi11 have so•e e~fect on the
bouaing inventory.
Marriages There wi11 be an eat~ted 12.360
•arr£agea in Denver in 1969. Bach of these wi11
constitute a faai1y for~ation. Moat o~ these
new1y •arried coup1ea wi11 be in the aarket for
an apart•ent.
Divorces To an increaainc extent, •arriage ap1it-
ups 1eed the apart.ent aarket. Tbere wi11 be an
eati•ated 5.520 divorce.. annu1aeat• and requests
for separate aainteaance in 1969. Meet or theae
wi11 produce a deaand for 2 ahe1ter units where 1
previous1y s -ufficed.
In Micranta Newcoaera are •icrating to Denver at
~e ra£e ok SO per day, an eat~ted 18.000 a1to-
getber in 1969. Each of theee conatitute new deaand
for abe1ter. Most initia11y occupy apart•enta. we
suspect.
E1der1y P ersons The Denver •etro area is ho.e to
an es~1mated 86.000 persona over the age of 65. and
their number grows at tbe rate of 1.300 per year.
We estimate that 3,000 of tbeee enter tbe apartment
market each year--vacat~ng ~a•i1y residences no
1onger needed.
De•o1itions The housing aupp1y ab.rt.nka by an
average o£ 50 per month. 600 per year due to deao-
1ition as a resu1t of urban renewa1. highway con-
struction and just p1ain obso1eeceoce. Each o£
these demo1itions probab1y creates an apart•ent
dwe 11er.
Young Adu1ts Leav~ng Hoae An eat1aated 24.000
~ peop1e w£11 turn-YB in the Denver area during
1969. Most wt.11 1eave home--to occupy a co11ege
dormitory or take up an apartment. Tbe •ovement o£

SUMMARY OF RESIDENTIAL ZONES
In Eng1ewood. as in simi1ar suburban cities throughout tbe country.
the 1argest demand on 1and is ~or residentia1 purposes. When com-
pared to cities of simi1ar size. Eng1ewood has a 1arge percentage
of sing1e-fami1y use and a considerab1y saa11er percentage o£ two-
fami1y and mu1ti-fami1y dwe11ings. Even in the residentia1 districts
not designed specifica11y for sing1e-fami1y dwe11i ngs. they pre-
dominate. with the resu1t that both the R-2 and R-3 Zone Districts
are inadequate1y deve1oped in their intended ~-
As is true in every co--.unity. the de·m.and for a pa.rticu1ar type of
housing is conditioned by £actors pecu1iar to that co--unity. Unti1
recent1y. Eng1ewood did not o~fer •any e•p1oy.ent opportunities.
and it was principa11y a ••bed.r00111.•• co---unity for those persons who
worked e1sewhere. Land was bought, subdivided, and so1d •ain1y ror
sing1e-fami1y dwe11ings, and the peop1e expressed a preference for
one-fami1y detached unit& by purchasing these bo•es. This initi.a1
deveJ_opment, severa1 decades ago, eatab1iahed the pattern for rather
sma11, one-story units and subsequent zoning ordinances were designed
to continue th~& trend.
It ia eat~-.ted that approx~te1y 70% of the re•identa of Eng1ewood
o-wn their o ·wn bo-~ _ With renta1 property thus 1i•ited and ••turn-
over•• at a •ini•u.-., it cou1d be as.suaed that tbe City•a neigbborh<><>Cls
wou1d be ~e11-eatab1ished and we11 •aintained. However, it ia be-
co-ing increa•ing1y evident that aoae or these once atab1e neighbor-
hoods ar now beginning to show signs of deteriorat1on and the ho.es
are becoaing t~eworn. This is occuring particu1ar1y in tbe o1der
ar a• of tb City wbere •any residents are in their retire.eut years
and ar un.b1 . i.ther physica11y or financi.a11y, to keep tbeir
boaes in ~ acceptab1e condition.
~t ~-inter tine to note that we11 over one-ha1£ oL a11 tb City•s
bous1 structure. were bui1t before 1949, and a tbird o~ tb houses

Qrdinance. At present, a 1ot having a 75 ft. ~rootage is required
for a two-fami1y residence in the R-2-A zone District. Since •oat
of the o1der sing1e-fami1y homes were bui1t on 37l ft. or SO ft.
frontages. bui1ders wou1d have to buy two such 1ots and re•ove the
o1d bui1dings in order to bui1d a two-Yaai1y dwe11~ng_ At today'&
high construction costs and tight money aarket, tbi& wou1d be

At the present ti•e, over 8~ of tbe ~strict is occupied either
by co~mercial. ~. or streets and a11eys; aLaost 1.~ is pon-contor.-

high devel.opment of tbe intended l.and ~ aa co.pared with other
c1ties in the Denver Metropolitan Area. (See Tabl.e 43).
About 6% o£ the total. co~ercial. use in the District is in sub-

the City. ALso. the recen~l.y insta11ed one-way traffic patterns
have initiated a .are e xpedient and coov n~ nt a ccess ~nto the area .
thereby inducing new trade and ca.aercia1 reatorat~on.
A d ecrease in tbe .. aunt of aubatandard non confor.ins reaidentia1

and coa•ercial.. construction in the area bas provided an incentive
to 1and owoera for capital.. re:l.nvest-.ent in property i•~rov-e.aents.
Many of tbe ba.eowaere in tbe Centra1 aua:l.neaa ~strict area are

Unt~1 construct~on o£ Cindere11a City, the D-1 Zone District was
ba..sica11y a ~•main street~~ shopping strip l..ocated aJ...ong both sides
o1 South Broadway. The physical.. probl..eas acco•panyiog the devel..op-
ment o£ this business area have been difficul..t to overcoae. The
most serious of these, as viewed by both the busine&saan and .otorist,
bas b een the re1ationsbip between on-street parking and the noraal..
tra1£ic fl..ow. Tbe confl..ict between these two resul..ts in excessive
downtown congestion an-d now since co•pl.etion of the New Engl..ewood
Center, the probl..e. is further intensified. For this reason, •ucb
consideration bas been given to acquiring additional.. off-street
parking facil..ities. However, efforts to provide the •eans of pur-
cbas.ing tbe necesaa..ry 1and have not yet been supported by the
property owne rs and business.aen within the ar·ea.
In su~ary of tbe district , the fo11owing points stand out :
(1) The Cindere11a City co•p1ex baa cona~derab1y changed the
physical. structure of tbe Central.. Business D~strict. It has
sti•u1ated new interest in i•prov~ng the condition of non-
conforaing uses as we11 as ca.aercia1 uses_
(2) Most bo•eownera in the Central. Business District stay because
o1 the convenience of their 1ocation or ~or the poaaibi1~ty
o£ receiv1ng a higher price for tbe1r property in the future.
If the downtown district ia to o~~er adequate parking and
serv"ic-e ~aci1ities,. and al..so r~in cow.poetitive with other
shopping are._,. the downtown bu.ainea.~en and property owners
auat act without rurther de1ay in acquiriag needed 1and ~roa
D<>n-confora;iag property.
(3) Al..t..bou.gb there b.aa bee:a. ..uc::.b '1.-.p.rove.eut in the di..•tr:J..ct,

Since the adoption o~ the 1963 Co•prebensive Zoning Ordinance. tbe
B-2 Zone District has exp-anded ~roa 215.4 acres to the present:

Within the B-2 Zone District, there are approxiaatel..y 24 acres of
Non-con£ormiog ~, with 1itt1e more than 6 acres considered in
substandard condition. As in other zone districts, redeve1opaent

characteristic is aLso noted in the B-2 Zone District with 33% o~
the residentia.1 ~ in :sub&tand.a.rd condition_
S ince the 1962 Study, there has been a sub&tantia1 drop in the
a.ount or au1ti-~aai1y~ a1ong Broadway south of the Centra1
Bu..si.ne·ss District and aLso a1ong E ·vans in Nortb·west Eng1ewooc:l_

In the Zoning for Co.aercia1 Land Deve1opaent study, issued by the

SUMMARY OF THE BUSINESS ZONE DISTRICTS
An important part of a commercia1 zone ana1ysis is recognition or
the imp.act shopping centers have bad upon the estab1isbed centra1
Business District and o1der commercia1 sections. Genera11y, the
suburban shopping center is the first commercia1 use to 1ocate in
a new out1ying area . With extensive automobi1e use, increased
mobi1ity and movement of peop1e, and acce1erated urbanization, the
business center bas become a dynamic e1ement in the commercia1
structure of a city.
A1most a11 cities share in the di1e mma facing the Centra1 Business
District ; th e rapid increase of suburban shopping center construction.
New, bigger, and better centers providing higher tax bases are being
bu.i1t:. Often co"ID..IIlercia1 ••over deve1opment:•• is the resu1t, causing
a dec1ine of o1der business sections in t:be city.
It is intended that the revised Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance wi11
provide two business zones for the City. The D-1 Zone District
encompasses the CentrarJBUsiness District. wbi1e the B-2 inc1udes
most: of the strip commercia1 deve1op•ent a1ong the major traffic
arteria1s. Some sma11 neighborhood shopping centers are a1so in
this c1assification.
The D-1 and B-2 Zone Districts are a1so distingui&bab1e in their
functions. The retai1 core area baa for •any years been the primary
area for shopping in the City. It: is cent:ra11y 1ocated within
Eng1ewood and now with Cindere11a Cit~ has a drawing power which
extends throughout the met:ropo1itan area. and now out of state.
This is in definite contrast to the B-2 Zone District:, where de-
ve1opment fo11ows next to major arteria1s, pri~ari1y a1ong Hampden
and Broadway. Most businesses invo1ved cou1d be described as
convenience estab1isbments. primari1y serving the 1oca1 market.
Commercia1 strip zoning is of concern to many peop1e and creates
some prob1ems for the community. Five ma~or objections are 1isted
be1ow:
(1) Major arteria1s serve priaa.ri1y a .& traffic carriers. Tbey
cannot be both high vo1uae corridors and 1oca1 business
streets. ---
(2) Residentia1 areas abutting strip coaaercia1 1and genera11y
have dec1ining property va1ue&.
(3) It ~a di~~icu1t to provide ~or orr-street parking.
(4) Linear arrange•ent of shops is not as convenient t o the sho pper
as tho se •o re coapact.
(5) At: the present t~•e. there ~& no workab1e so1utio n to tbe
probl..e• o:r re.ovin_g inca..p.atib1e or DDn-c o nform.ing uses
genera11y associated with the c~rcia1 strip zone districts.
With the adoption of tbe revised 1963 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.

within the metropo1itan area; however, the City now baa over 10%

caused by over ca.petit:l.on, and to b1ock apreadioc deterioration

must be 1iaited unti1 it can be aeen whether or not the de.and for

Cindere11a City and other new bueineaaea in the co.aercia1 zones
cou1d atimu1ate renovation and a better ae1ection o f goods in the

stantiates the City•a potentia1 •• a ••~or retai1 center in the

sented to tbe C1ty by rapid ca.aercia1 growth inc1uding traffic,

of reaidentia1 property, be worked out.

I-1 ZONE DISTRICT ANALYSIS
The I-1 zoned 1and comprises the second 1argest zone District in
the City, and it is intended ~or 1ight industria1 deve1opmeot .
With the adoption of the 1963 Zoning Ordinance, it was increased
over 300 acres in size from the former M-1 c1assification. Most
of this increase came as a resu1t of an adjustment with the Heavy
Industria1, I-2, Zone District.
The Zone District now encompasses a1most 20% of Eng1ewood's area ;
bow~ver, in terms of industria1 use, it is on1y 24% deve1oped.
Even when the streets and a11eys-yQ the area are inc1uded in the
tota1, the figure is sti11 1ess than 50%.
Due to the differenc e in the tota1 acreages invo1ved, comparisOns
with the 1962 Land Uti1ization Study are dif~icu1t to •ake. However .
it can be noted that at that time. 22% o~ the M-1 1and was aatis-
factori1y industria11y deve1oped. With the increased tota1 acreage
of the present I-1 Zone District . that percentage bas decreaaed to
about 14%.
The part o£ the District 1ocated ea•t o~ South Santa Pe Drive.
south of Hampden Avenue and north of Stan~~rd Avenue baa a 1arge
concentration of industria1 use. It contaioe we11 over one-third
the tota1 amount of industri~deve1opaent round in the ent~re
I-1 Zone District.
The most significant aspect of this Zone Diatrict is the 1arge
amount of vacant property; over 168 acres. or 22% vacant 1and is
avai1ab1e for new construction. However. in teras of percentage.
it is a dec1ine ~roa the 1962 figure or 50.3$. Northwestern Eng1e-
wood, north of Dartmouth and west of Raritan. bas the.-1argeat amount
of vacant 1and in the District. and unti1 recent1y bad on1y 1imited
access across the South P1atte River. However, new bridges 1ocated
at Union and Dartmouth Avenues have been erected and have provided
much needed access to these areas. In this section. approx~ate1y
47% of the 1and is now vacant.
There are approximate1y 57 acres of vacant 1and zoned I-1 wbicb
were inundated by the 1964 South P1atte River ~1ood. Whi1e this
area s1ight1y exceeds the Standard Pro~ect F1ood P1ain as defined
by the Army Corps of Engineers. it ia fel.t that the 1i•ite o1 the
fl.ood, eatabl.iehed workab1e bounds ~or purposes or 11ooc::l pl.ain con-
trol.. Every atte•pt ahoul.d be •ade to prevent tbeee 57 acrea rroa
being deve1oped with either structures unab1e to withstand at l.east
mini•um fl.oodiog or uses which cause da••ing at brid ges. auch as
1umber yard.&,. aobi l.e bo•e parka or au to storage yards.
The I-1 Zone District al.so baa l.arge areaa o~ non-conforain& useR .
The se e:ssential.l.y incl.ude s•al.l. sing1e-fa_•i1y reaidencea and co•-
mercia1 l.and use8 . The Industrial. Zone. l.ike ~any Coaaercia1 area•.
bas a high percentage of these use• in substandard condition. Again .
this s ee·ms to ref1ect a general. incompatibi1ity of the two types
of ~ if they have not been original.1y designed together ~n a
••p1anned unit ••. In this zone District • 67.9% of the reaidential.
buil.dings are considered in poor condition. with the r:l.e-urea in
Sections II and IV being particu1ar1y notab1e. with over SO$.
With the 1arge amount of substandard non-confor•ing uses. •any of
which sboul.d be rep1aced as soon as posaib1e. every effort ahou1d
be made to encourage industria1 redevel.opaent and to diacourage
additional. non-conformin~ uses. Large areas wbicb are now avail.ab1e
in Engl.ewood sbou1d be 1ert open unti1 such ti•e as -ore induatry
comes to the City. If spot zoning takes pl.ace in the •eanti•e just
to .. fil.l. it up••. many future industria1 sites wi11 be 1oat.

An attempt was made to survey the pbys~ca1 cond~tion o1 the industries
1ocated within the City. Wbi1e the criteria ~or this survey was not
easi1y discerned, it was the fee1ing o£ this o~fice that even in-
dustria1 works sbou1d maintain a certain standard o~ upkeep and repair
appurtenant to the type of use~ At any rate, over 45 acres were
found to be unsatisfactory ; more than five of these invo1ved auto
wrecking~
In conc1usion, with the 1arge amount of vacant and unaatisfactori1y
deve1oped 1and in the I-1 Zone District. the deve1opaent of satis-
factory industria1 sites sbou1d be encouraged. Modern industry
can no 1onger be 1ocated in unfavorab1e areas. New industry needs
and demands good access, perm~es~ve zoning, adequate water and
sewer service, vis~b1e and 1eve1 s~tes, space ror o~~-etreet park~ng
and 1oading, and space for expansion. However, ~t sbou1d be eapha-
sized that before the City can remove the substandard ree~dences
wbicb cover much 1and zoned I-1, it must •ake p1ane 1or the re-
housing of the ~nbabitants. This in the future, ~uet be one or the
ma~or pro~ecte o~ the City. Eng1ewood, being concerned w~tb aain-
ta~nin .g a favorab1e tax base, aust a1eo acknow1edce tbe 1'act that
today, industry v~ews its 1ocation ~uat a• critica11y •• tbe City
~udges what type of industry it desires .

I-2 ZONE DISTRICT
With the adopt~on o~ the Comprebeoa~ve Zon~ng Ord~nance ~n 1963 ,
the I-2 Zone District, or Heavy Induatria1 zone, was reduced in
size by over 250 acres ~r om the previous M-2 Zone c1aa•i~ication.
Much o~ the 1and was added to tbe Light Industria1, I-1 Zone
District. This 1arge ad~ust•ent between tbe 1igbt and heavy in-
duatria1 zones is the reau1t o~ many considerations. A•ong these,
it was fe1t that the City was more ab1e to serve the needs of 1igbt
industry, that the ~uture demands in the area wi11 be ~or 1igbt in-
dustr ia1 sites, and because of the proximity o~ the i nduatr ia1
areas to residentia1 districts.
Th e I-2 Zone District, a1tbougb occupying 1eas acreage, great1y
resemb1es the I-1 Zone D istrict, particu1ar1y ~n the re1ative
amounts o f industria1 and vacant 1and~ In both o~ these zone
districts in the past, the a•ount o ~ vacant 1and great1y exceeded
the total. industrial. acreage. With tbe use or vacant 1and ror
parka and industry, however, the aaounta or vacant 1and and in-
duatria1 1and are drawing c1oeer together . Within tbe tbree
sections o~ the I-2 Zone District used here ror purpo8e or ana1yaia,
the total. a.ount or indu.atrJ..a11y util.ized 1and ._ ca..pared to tbe
tota1 acreage ~-about 25$. However, a subatantia1 .-aunt in
Eng1ewood is in unaatiaractory condition, with •o.t or this being
non-conror.ing auto wreckin& and 3uok yarda. The I-2 Zone Diatrict
haa a e1igbt1y higher re1ative .. ount or aubatandard condition
industrial._ use (30~9$) as coapared with the I-1 Zone District ~
Vacant l.and is rair1y even1y distributed throughout the Diatrict,
w:l.tb approxiaatel.y 34'S. or tbe tota1 acrea.ge invo1ved. It can be
seen that ir tbia 1and were :l.nduatrial.l.y devel.oped, eos or tbe
Zone D:i.atrict woul.d be in the intended use. Because it :l.a necesaary
to bave wider roadways :l.n order to acc~date the 1arge trucka
which serve these areas, :l.t see--at rirat gl.ance that the area
bas an unuaua11y bigb a•ount o£ l.and a11otted ror streets and
al.l.eys .
Fortunatel.y, very 1:l.tt1e of the I-2 1and is a11ocated to non-con-
~oraing residential. use. but a11 or wbat doea exiet is in deterio-
rat~ng condit:l.on. Witb~n the entire I-2 Zone DLatrict, 100S o~ the
rea~dent~a1 structures are substandard! Tbi• ~-an extre•el.y b~gb
1:igure, but it po~nta out that re.Ldent:l.al. 1and uae i• rare1y
ca-patib1e with tbeae •ore :l.ntenae use• un1eaa poea~bl.y a11 were
to be d esigned together o n a .. pl.anned ua~t·• baaLa .

SUMMARY OF THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE DISTRICTS
Industry is a vita1 part of any urban area and its importance to
the economy cannot be over-emphasized. It provides emp1oymeot
opportunities, st imu1ates business, and e xpands the city"s ta.x
base. It is, therefore, e ssentia1 that su fficie nt 1and be avai1-
ab1e for ex pans ion of existing industries and for new deve1opment.
Today , zoning 1aws protect industry, as we11 as residentia1 uses.
from encroachment. Industry wi11 no 1onger s ett1e f or sites that
can't be used for anything e1se. Industria1 firm s seek 1ocations
in suburban areas where their require·ment:s for transportation ,
accessibi1ity, parking and 1oadiog space, and bui1ding e xpans i on
are m et.
With the adoption of the 1963 Comprehe nsive Zoning Ordinanc e~ much
of the area within th e Heavy Industria1 Zone District was rezoned
f or 1ight industry. In part ~ this change re~1ects the increasing
d e mands f or 1 ight industria1 bui1ding sites ; however~ it is a~so
i n response to the theory that the 1igbt industry wou1d b e more
c ompatib1e with the ad~acent reside ntia1 areas than wou1d the
h e avy industry.
It shou1d be remembered that at this time Eng1ewood is basica11y a
residentia1 community, with on1y 24% of its industria11y ~
1and in actua1 industria1 ~-The City rates so•ewbat be1ow other
simi1ar sate11ite cities in comparing tota1 industria1 deve1opment
per tota1 city area.
OVer one -ba1£ of a11 the vacant 1and in the City is 1ocated within
the Industrial. Zone Districts . It comprises over 25% of the entire

Community hea1tb require•ents are •et by tbe ~aci1itie& of Swedish

the o1der sections have been reaodel.ed and new t ,ota1 air conditioning

VACANT LAND ANALYSIS
Essentia11y. a c~ty bas two choices 1n acqu~r~ng add.t1ooa1 1and
improvement; redeve1opment o~ the existing raci11t1es, or new
deve1opment on ava11ab1e vacant 1and. Due to prohibitive costs
invo1ved in 1and redeve1opment, the choice 1& a1•ost invariab1y
with vacant 1and. Most rea1tors insist that it is vita1 ~or a
community's economic surviva1 to have 1and avai1ab1e ~or new
construction. Communities tbat have vacant 1and parce1s o£ the
right size, 1ocation, tax va1ue, and acce&sibi1ity, witb good water
and sewer faci1ities, po11ce and £ire protection, and are c1ose to
scboo1s, parks and shopping areas, wi11 undoubted1y attract desir-
ab1e commercia1 and industria1 enterpr~ae.
Except for the industr:l.a1 area . Eng1ew<>e>d :l.s essentia11y a ••bui1t
up•• c<>lll.Dluni ty. Vacant 1ots are rare in both the Residentia1 and
Bus iness Zonee: with on1y 39$ o~ the tota~ vacant 1and 1ocated
within the Resident:l.a1 7 7% within the Bus~nes•. and 54$ within the
Industria1 Zon e D~str:l.cts. In a survey or other sate11:l.te cities.
it was found that an average of 22% of the tota1 city area was
vacant. Within Eng1ewood 7 there are 521.9 acres o~ 1aad wbicb
are considered vacant. (See Land Use De~~nitiooe)
This amounts to 12.7% o~ the tota1 City area.
One important function or a P1anoing Depart•ent is the appra~sa1
of 1and suitabi1ity. Vacant areas <>~ten occur near drainage
courses 7 in f1ood p1aina. or on the side.& o ~ at:eep •1o pea. In
many cases these factor• ~•Y binder or prevent deve1op.ent 7 or they
may indicate a .. beat use .. for the vacant area. For exa..pi.e. where-
as the bui1ding of a one-fa•i1y b o •e o n a vacant parce1 within a
drainage area •:l.gbt be un~~•e. the d evei.o ~ent o r a par k o n the
saae parce1 •ight be we11-tounded. O ther factors which •ight
affect tbe suitabi1:l.t:y of 1aod for deve1o~ent wou1d be its size.
shape. or l.ocation. particu1arl.y 1o respect to tbe zoning require-
•ents covering the vacant parce1.
Each of the above ite.s i• eau.erated in TABLE 1 7 , Page 136 .
This tabl..e a1so point• out ~bat or the 521.9 acres o~ vacant 1and
within the City , onl.y 55.~ or 287.3 acres Lack so.e ~actor which
might hinder a auitab1e deve~opaeot:.
Over 59 acres <>~ the 203.0 acres o ~ vacant reeideot:l.al. l.and tal..l.

wbicb. potentia11y at 1east. coul.d be attected by t1ood water&.
Within the B-2 Z ·one District. oearl.y a11 o t the vacant l..aod is
cl.assi:fied as ••util..i..zabJ.e••. H o wever. at tbi& ti•.e. o ol.y 28.2

In October or 1963. the United States Aray Corps ot Encineers
rel.eased a F1ood Pl.ain Study for the South P1atte River. 20(AA).
Among other things. this study pro_jected what is ter•ed a ••standard
Proj e ct F1oocl•• for the south Pl.atte. This re~erred to a ••hypothet-
ical.·· f1ood which coul.d occur if an extre.el.y severe co•bination
of meteorol.ogic anarnyaro 1ogic cond:l.tiona were experienced. On
the night of June 16. 1965. this r1ood did in fact occ ur. causing
wi d e spread destruction in ita path.
The importance of preventina ruture F1o od Pl.ain eocroacbaent 7 es-
pecia11y on vacant l.ands. cannot be over-eap baaized in l.igbt: o~
thi s recent catastrophe. ~n the Tab1e concerning Land S uitabi1ity

W~tbin the 1arge Sing1e-fami1y Zone District, there is a very
sma11 percentage o£ Non-conforming Use. Of the 1971.4 acres
devoted to sing1e-fami1y zoning, on1y 1.7%,or 33 .5 acres, is
~n some type or Non-conforming use. This sma11 amount is at
1east one indication that the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance bas
been effective in 1imiting undesirab1e uses within the Sing1e-
fami1y zones.
Within the Two-famil.y Zone Districts, there is a predominance of
one-fami1y dwe11ings . One-famil.y dwe11ings, wbi1e aot the in-
te nded use, are conforming as out1ined by the 1963 Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance. Non-conforming mu1ti-fami1y, co .. ercia1 , and
industrial. uses account for on1y 1.2% of the total. R-2 Zone District.
The most undesirab1e Non-conforming Uses within the R-3 Zone
Districts are the ca..erc~a1 and iodustria1 1and uses_ Together .
these coaprise 2 .5% of the tota1 R-3 Zone Districts. Most o~
this is in induatria1 use .
The peraiasive R-4 Zone District contain& virtua11y no Non-confora-
ing 1and uses .
The zone district& which contain the aoat Non-con~or.ing Uses are
~be C~rc~a1 and Induatria1 Zone Districts. Most of this Kon-
conforaing use is reaidentia1 structures. In the B-1 and B-2
Zone Districts. there are 40.0 acres of Mon-confor.ing Uae. Tbi&
a.ounts to 9.~ of 'tbe tota1 area of the Business Zone Districts.
A 1arge proportion of the Land in tbe Industria1 Zone Districts is
vacant. The Zone Districts are. therefore. grosa1y underdeve1oped.
However. over 135 acres of the I-1 and I-2 Zone Districts are in
won-con~oraing uses. with ~oat of the Non-con~o~ing Use equa11y
divided between sing1e-faai1y and coaaercia1 use. The 135.2 acres
a.ounts to 12.~ of the tota1 Industria1 Zone area. These two Zone
Districts contain tbe highest proportion of Kon-conforaing U.e o~
any zone types within the City.
Mon-confor.ing U.ea account for 221 .9 acres within tbe City.
Therefore. 5.4~ o~ tbe City•s 1aad u.e is. as def~ned by ~be Co.-
prebenaive Zoninc Ordinance. aoo-con1'or-.iac. Over oae-ba1f o~
this acreage ia in the 1arge Ioduatr'ia1 Zone D~tr'icta. Wo Zoae

SUBSTANDARD USES
The fo11owing tabl.es concerning substandard use& within the City of
Engl.ewood were derived ~rom basica11y two sources. In the case o~
substandard residentia1 uses~ the pri~ary source was tbe 1960 United
States Census of Housing for Eng1ewood. (21CC) This was augaented by
fie1d surveys. conducted by the Engl.ewood P1anning Office, principa11y
in those areas not covered by the United States Census Report.
The determination as to what constitutes a substandard residential. use
was primari1y based upon the U. S. Cenau.s definitions of ••deteriorating••
aod udil.apidated., structures. Both deteriorating and di1apidated bo-es
were considered ••substandard••. ---vre1a surveys concf'i:i"'C"Yed by the P1ann1n.g
UYYYce were based 1n a 1arge part upon these sa•e cr~ter~a.
The substandard Commercial.. and Industrial.. Zone District statistics were
arrived at entire1y by £~el..d surveys conducted by the Eng1ewood P1anning
O£fice. Essentia11y . much or the saae criter~a that was used to deter-
mine substandard commercial.. and industrial.. uses was a1ao used to de£ine
substandard residential.. uses. 1t shou1d be e-.phasized that nsubstaodardn
refers to the condition of the use, and not to the type or use. This
•eans that such £61ng& as £~ssure& in tbe-tiui1d~ng. general.. bui1ding
condition and state o~ repair were taken into consideration.
Wbil..e it is recognized that criteria £or deteraioing '"'"au.b&tanda..rd'"•
conditions of industrial.. uses La, at beBt, quite arbitrary and that
eva1uations o£ this type are not coaaon in the pLanning l..iterature at
this ti•e, this o~~ice ree1a that a11 uses abou1d be ~aintained in a
certain degree of repair and upkeep, at 1eaat at a 1eve1 proportional..
to the type o~ l..and use.

SUM.MARY OF LAND USES: CITY OF ENGLEWOOD
The C~Ly of Eng1ewood. as shown by this Land Use Study, is predomioate1y
a res1dentia~ sate111te in tbe Denver Metropo1itan Area. Over 63~ o£
the C1~Y area is zoned for residentia1 use, wbi1e the tota1 residentia1
use w~thin the City amounts to 1645.8 acres, or 40 .1% of the City area .
A ccord1ng ~o another study, the average amount of residentia1 use ~ound
1n comparab1e sate11ite cities over the country was on1y 31.0% of the
toL a1 c1ty area. The City of Eng1ewood a1so has a re1ative1y high amount
oL S1ng1 e -~ami1y dwe11ings when compared with comparab1e sate11ite c1ties.
On ~he other hand, on1y 2.4% of the City is devoted to two-fami1y and
mu1t1-f.ami1y u~es. In the sate11ite cities studied. 7 .1$ was in two-
£am~Ly and mu~ti-rami1y uses . In summary~ it is apparent that the one-

CINDERELLA CITY
This is a chapter in the story of a city that so1d its on1y park
for a shopping center. On March 7, 1968 , the doors o~ Cindere11a
City , a 1 .6 mi11ion square foot shopping comp1ex with tbree 1eve1s
of specia1ty shops, major department stores , and assorted ... eateries .. ,
ope ned its doors onto 72 acres of concrete that bad been partia11y
covered by the 1awn and trees of Eng1ewood's City Park . The story
b e hind this transformation is 1ong and invo1ved, but in short , the
p e op1 e of Eng1ewood fe1t that , i n order to improve the City's
retai1 faci1ities and to estab1isb a bette r tax base , it was in
their best interest to se11 the Park. On Apri1 7 , 1964, an e1ection
was h e 1d in which the ma j ority of the citizens voted to se11 the
Park, and on November 3, 1964, the voters approved the Counci1•s
action o f rezoning the 1and for co~mercia1 use.
The opening o f a shopping comp1ex of such magnitude precipitated
a numbe r of changes in the surrounding areas, one of the 1argest
of which was in 1and yHe . In comparing the present figures of
c ommerci a11y zoned 1and with those of 1964 be~ore the park was re-
zoned, ther e ~20 acres zoned for co--ercia1 use compared to
298 acres in 1964. Of these 420 acres, 227 acres are now actua11y
in co~mercia1 use as compared to the 114.6 acres which were in
commercia1 use oefore.
Commercia1 1and uses were not the on1y ones which changed . With
t he revenue from the sa1e o~ City Park, new park 1and ~•a purchased .
When the present park prograa is ca-p1eted, Eng1ewood wi11 have
110 .4 acres of park 1and in contrast to the approxiaate 28.6
deve1oped acres of the o1d park system.
The o1d City Park was poor1y 1ocated ~or youth activities . With
a commercia1 area to the east, a aa~or highway to tbe south and
r ai1road tracks and a aajor highway to the west, the on1y safe
access for chi1dren was from the north. And , o~ course, the usua1
comp1aints about the noises fro• the park and the tra~fic generated
by its users were often beard from the Park•s neighbors .
Other changes in 1and use have a1so occurred in Eng1ewood over
the 1ast five years, part o~ it nora.a1 :for that period o:f tiae in
~his rapid1y growing urban area, but de£inite1y a portion of it
due to the increase in business b r o ught about by tbe new shopping
comp1ex. New industry has 1 o cated here, •u1tip1e-~aai1y h o using
units are rapid1y increasing in nuaber, and parking and tra:f~ic
patterns have been a1tered. Un:fo rtunate1y, a :few unwe1ca-e changes
bave a1so occurred . In the residentia1 areas i--ediate1y surround-
ing the comp1ex ~ house va1uea have decreased aore than noraa1 . In-
creas e d 1and va1ues , however , have tended to ba1ance the property
va1ues .•
And who wi11 deny that a shopping area , no aatter bow we1~ designed ,
1 s a est hetica11y inferior to a park? Landscaping can great1y i•-
prove the ap~earance of cement, brick and g1aas. aa baa been shown
in a number of shopping centers, but Cindere11a City, though at:-
tractive 1y arcbitectured, bas as yet received 1itt1e attention to
t:o its grounds.
Th e fo11owing study wi11 attempt to define the changes that have
be e n created by Cindere11a C~ty . The pbysica1 p1ant: o~ Cindere11a
City consists of 1 .6 mi11ion square feet o:f covered shopping area
on approximate1y 72 acres of 1and former1y occupied by the City Park.
an ad joi ning private1y owned nine-bo1e go1f course, the Nationa1
Guard Armory. a nursing home . and 1and which was vacant . Tbe
bui1dings wi11 house 275 businesses when fu11y occupied . Located
It is 1ike1y that this was not caused by Cindere11a City. See Page

is easi1y accessib1 e to most o~ the Denver Metropo1itan area.
There is e asy acce ss onto U . S . 285 (Hampden Avenue) from most o£
the ma~or north-south arteria1 and co11ector streets in the Denver
area, inc1uding the Va11ey Hi g hway (I-25). which in turn connects
with most major highways in the Denver area.
Parking space has be e n p1anned for approximate1y 7 ,000 cars --3,000
underground and 4.000 on the ma11 1eve1. Much of the area devote d
to parking was deeded back to the City £or uncommitted pub1ic parking ,
but is uti1ized principa11y by the shopping comp1ex. Air r1gbts
in the City-own e d park1ng 1ots are he1d by Cindere11a City for
further construction and £or above-ground parking sbou1d the need
arise . Approximate1y 17 ,700 cars per day have been using the
parking £aci1i~ies adjoining the comp1ex.
Whi1e the shopping comp1ex was in the p1anning s~age, severa1 sites
were considered . The present 1ocation was chosen so that the com-
p1ex wou1d comp1iment ~he downtown specia1ty shops rather than
strict1y compete with them. With ~his goa1 in mind~ a substantia1
amount of the parking area was p1aced between South E1ati and
South Bannock Streets in order to encourage shoppers to frequent
both retai1 areas . In addition, a sbutt1e bus provided by a 1oca1
bank runs between Cindere11a City and Broadway to carry those wishing
to shop in both areas, but preferring not ~o •ove their cars or to
wa1k the necessary distance .
Besides serving as a retai1 center~ a convention and exposition
ha11 is a1so housed in Cindere11a City . The 73 ,000 square ~oot
ba11 seats 6,500. A hote1 ~s in the p1anning stages for the
comp1ex which wou1d enhance the image of Cindere11a City as a
convent~on center, and cou1d bring add~tiona1 trade to the merchan~s
and revenue to the C~ty .
A 1ook at the adjoining 1and shows that co .. ercia1 £~rms are
deve1oping new sites c1ose to Cindere11a Ci~Y-Since the beginning
o£ construction on the comp1ex in 1966~ ten bus~nesaes, £1ve or
them banks, have bui1t within three b1ocks of ~t. and even though
this may have drawn attention away from the downto~n retai1 stores ,
they are now in an area where they have easier access, better park1ng
£aci1ities~ and more attractive bui1dinga. These new businesses
a1ong with C indere11a City add over 77 acres of co--ercia11y uti1ized
1and to the City. Most o £ these new businesses provide new parking
space for a tota1 of 7581 vebic1es .
Addit1ona1 trade in the area •eans additiona1 traffic. Fortunate1y
£or Eng1ewood , the tra,fic baa not yet exceeded the capacity of the
s~reets . Though traf~ic vo1uae bas increased a great dea1 in the
1mmediate area of the shopp1ng co•p1ex, trarfic contro1 has ~ain
ta1ned a re1ative1y smooth f1ow of trafric . Few drastic changes
were made in street pa~terns . Tbree ~streets which were changed to
one -way traf£ic f1ow have increased substantia11y in vo1ume. These
are South Bannock Street (southbound), West Girard Avenue (eastbound)~
and West Hampden Avenue (westbound). Vo1ume increases for these
streets may be seen on the vo1ume comparison charta for Cindere11a
City and Core areas.
Be£ore the new retai1 deve1opment, a s•a11 area to the east oL the
shopping comp1ex s1te was deve1oped with midd1e-c1ass, sing1e ~ami1y
residences or vacan t land . It was anticipated that th~ property ,
surrounded by Cinderel1a City and other retai1 areas, wou1d b e
deve1oped into business uses rather than to be a11owed to deteriorate
as residential uses. Litt1e of this area now re•aia. coa•ercia11y

wi11 soon be re1.ocated and the l.and deve1oped co--ercia1.1y_
To the south o~ tbe compl.ex, on1y the 1and facing on U. S. 285 is
~oned for business. It was deve1oped prior to the shopping co•pl.ex,
and with increased business, it bas not deteriorated in condition,
but bas improved.
Consideration to sur rounding r es~den ~ia1 a r e a s was of utmost con-
cern in rezoning the area. Though these districts are zoned for
residential. use onl.y, it was thought that the added traffic and
commercial. activities might detract from the tranqui1ity of tbe
area. It was proposed that a median strip of evergreen trees down
the center of West F1oyd Avenue wou1d screen out the coamercia1
area £rom the we11-kept sing1e-raai1y residences to the north.
Traffic to and from Cindere11a City wou1d be channe1ed to the
south o£ the screen, whi1e the north aide of the street wou1d be
used on1y to provide access to the reaidentia1 area. Tbi& idea
was modified by the City with the approva1 o~ the neighborhood, ao
that West F1oyd Avenue was actua11y designed as a parkway. Tbe
appearance o£ the area bas re•ained good, and 1itt1e additiona1
trarfic baa been cbanne1ed through the area due to the parkway
and the fact that no major arteria1a cut through the neighborhood.
With the expansion of the nearby co--ercia1 area, the Mu1ti-
faai1y (R-3-D) Zone District to the aoutb of Cindere11a City was
given the opportunity to expand due to the increa•ed nuaber of
aing1e peop1e or coup1es wbo wou1d want to 1ive c1oee to their
jobs or shopping raci1ities in the coap1ex. Since the beginning
o~ 1969, 56 new •u1ti-~&ai1y unite have been conetructed here.
Litt1e concern for this area arose prior to the retai1 deve1opaent,
since u. s. 285 was seen aa a oatura1 burrerzone between coa.ercia1
and reaidentia1 1and ~· A nu•ber of sing1e-~a•i1y residences
in the zone district (approxi•ate1y 27%) are considered •ub&tandard,
and it ia hoped that mu1ti-ra•i1y dwe11inga, orfering convenient

ar e s e r1ous hand i caps to easy access that are a1most impossib1 e to
cor r e ct . In ord e r to ove rcome these situations, the one-way tra~£ic
patt e rn b e gun a t Cinde r e 11a City was extended through the downtown
ar e a in an ef~or t t o c arry traffic s~ootb1y. These streets are
South Bannock Stree t . southbound; South Sherman Street, northbound ;
West Girard Ave nu e, e astbound ; and West Hampden Avenue. westbound .
Th e sysL e m has b ee n r e asonab1y success~u1 and there are p1ans ~o
e n1ar ge upo n i t i n th e futur e . The City bas a1so insta11e d a n e w
t r a ££ic s i gna~ syste m adjacent to the shopping comp~ex and through-
ou t th e cor e are a .
It is quest1onab1e whether or not the 7000 parking spaces provided
by C~nd e r e 11a City actua11y aid the Core Area merchants . Thos e
peop1 e shopp1ng at Cindere11a City who wish to shop downtown wi11
usua11y drive the few intervening b1ocks to park. The downtown
m e rchants themse1ves have added 1itt1e additiona1 parking. Other
than for the Park 'N Shop comp1ex in the 3300 b1ock of South Broad-
way , e xisting customer parking is usua11y 1ocated off the a11ey in
back of the stores where access is difficu1t, and where the a11eys
are 1ioed with ug1y uti1ity po1es and unattractive trash conca1ners,
and the bui1dings are, on the who1e, uninviting.
After a favorab1e vot e o£ the peop1e, diagona1 on-street parking on
South Broadway was rep1aced by para11e~ parking in 1966, e~1m1nat1ng
some park1ng space in the process. The spaces which were 1ost have
not been rep1aced. According to a minimum standard of five spaces
per 1000 fee~ o£ retai1 space~ the Core Area (bounded on ~be east
by South Sherman ~n this case) sbou1d furn~sh so•e 1750 parking
spaces , but actua11y furnishes somewhere aro und 1300. Supposed1y
this shortage o£ 450 spaces cou1d be made up by Cindere11a C1ty •s
7000 spaces 7 but to meet these minimum standards, the comp1ex i~se1f
needs 8000 spaces . This projected shortage o£ 450 parking spaces
in th e downtown area does not seem to be a prob1em at this time .
as the 1ots often have p1enty o£ vacant spaces. However , as new
bus1nesses go into the former J. C. Penney bui1ding on the southeast
corner of South Broadway and East Girard Avenue, and in the former
Jos1~n•s bui1ding and Woo1worth space in the Park •N Shop comp1e~
addi~1ona1 emp1oyee and customer parking space wi11 be needed.
The 1oca~ioo and access to some of the ex~sting 1ots are factors
nee ding attention, as we11 as the improvement o f some of the 1ots
themse1ves .
The Retai1 Core of the City is re1ative1y o1d and ~ according to a
study und e rtaken by Larry S•ith • Company~ is functiona11y obso1ete.
The bui1dings are in poor structura1 condition, and few had been
modern1z e d by 1966 . The on1y business a1ong South Broadway with
any s1 g n oi p~ants or f1owers to break the •onotony of ce•ent is
th e Eng1ewood Park •N Shop. Everywhere signs protrude. each b1ding

access and functiona1 obso1escence, downtown Eng1ewood is now most
su1ted to convenience shopping. According to the Chamber of Commerce,
~oot traffic 1n the area has dropped off considerab1y since Cioder-
e 11a City ope n e d, but business bas continued to increase at the nor-
ma1 rate.
One thing that is e xpected to aid in the Core
~s th e addition o f high-rise apartments which
bui1t there in th e Revised Zoning Ordinance.
bas not p e rmitt e d this type of deve1opment in
the e xis ting res1dentia1 uses were considered
Area•s redeve1opment
wi11 be permitted
Unti1 now ~ the C1ty
the Core Ar ea, and
non-conforming.
The remainder of the City 1ying outside of the two shopping areas
cannot escape certain inf1uences of the new retai1 deve1opment .
Commercia1 d e v e1 opme nt has not been confined to Cindere11a City
and the Core area. but bas continued in the arteria1 strip pattern
a1ong South Broadway and a1so in and adjacent to the Brookridge
Shoppin g Cent er south o£ East Be11eview Avenue. Automobi1e dea1ers
especia11y have been e ager to estab1ish their businesses a1ong
South Broadway in the extreme southern part of the Cit~ extending
south into L1tt1eton. Six restaurants have been constructed on
South Broadway south of the Core Area since 1966. E1even other
retai1 businesses have a1so 1ocated here. inc1uding recreationa1,
grocery, and specia1ty faci1ities. A1together. approx~mate1y thirty
business es hav e estab1ished in the strip retai1 areas since 1966.
This ~s an increase of more than three businesses a year over the
years pr1or to the construction of Cindere11a City. The strip re-
tai1 areas a1so under~ent a great dea1 of remode1ing after the
annouoce-.neot "Chat a 1arge shopping comp1ex wou1d 1ocate nearby . A
1ook at ~he chart showing commercia1 improvements indicates a great
iucrease in the B-2 zone after 1966.
Though iodustria1 1aod uR~ has increased in Eng1ewood in the 1ast
three years, it 1s difficu1t to deter•ine whether or not the increase
can be attributed to the new retai1 trade. New p1ants in the I-1
Zone (Light Industria1) averaged about seven or eight per year 1n
1964 and 1965, whi1 e between 1966 and 1969, the average increased
to 15 per year , these being predominate1y warehouses.
OUtside of the retai1 areas, tra£fic vo1ume bas not increased as
drastica11y. Those streets upon which the vo1ume has increased the
mosL hav e been the ma~or arteria1s.
Wh e th e r or not the Shopping Center bas inf1uenced residen~ia1 areas
o£ th e City is di£ficu1t to determine. because property assessments
for ar e as removed £rom the Center have been strange1y inconsistent.
A~ first g lance . it appeared that house assessments as imposed by
th e County Ass e ssor 's office have dropped substantia11y in the
res1dencial areas adjacen t to Cindere11a City this year. According
to in~ormat1on rece1ved from the Arapahoe County Assessor•s oL£ice.
the d e preciac1on rate shou1d have been about 1% in 1969. It was
£ound. however, that an average house on the b1ock north of West
F1oyd Av en u e be~ween South Fox and South Ga1apago Streets bas dropped
$554 in a three-y e ar period . According to Arapahoe County averages.
~t shou1d have depreciated on1y about $112 in va1ue. On the other
band, 1and e va1uations have risen. though not so dra&tica11y as in
~h e co~erc1a1 zones, as this area at this ti•e bas 1itt1e chance
of be~ng rezoned for commercia1 use . On the sa•e b1ock, 1966 1and

Th e 1ac k of a patter n of assessment trends throughout the C1ty in-
va1idate s any conc1usions which might be drawn about property assess-
ments in the residentia1 areas surrounding Cindere11a City, but 1~
wou1d s eem that Ciodere11a City has bad 1itt1e effect on the assess-
m e nts of these areas. No unusua1 deterioration has occurred. Sing1e-
fami1y residence construction bas decreased due possib1y to increas-
ing construction costs and the money market, but main1y to the 1ack
of vacant 1and in sing1e-fami1y residentia1 zones. On the other
band ,th e number of mu1ti-fami1y dwe11ings has ~umped tremendous1y,
going from 0 in 1965 to over 342 units in 1969. It is a1so inter-
e sting to note that twenty-two substandard bui1dings have been re-
p1aced by apartme nt houses since 1966. The improved shopping
faci1ities and ~obs furnished by Cindere11a City and other new
busine sse s and industries are definite1y attracting some of th e
peop1 e who wi11 fi11 these new residences.
Wh e n City P ~r k was so1d to the shopping comp1ex. Eng1ewood was
1eft with 5.2 acres of deve1oped park 1and. The City owned an
additiona1 38.7 acres of 1and that it was reserving for future
parks. This bas been d e ve1oped. and in addition. 1and amounting
to 71.7 acres bas bee n purchased by the City. At the present time.
the r e are 46 acres of deve1oped park 1and. with 64.4 acres under
deve1opme nt for a tota1 of 110.4 acres :l.n contra.st to 28.6 acres
b e fore the sa1e of City Park. A 200 acre go1f-course-park is being
sought through federa1 funds (Federa1 Land and Water Conservation
Fund) and has been approved by the Denver Regiona1 Counc:l.1 of
Governments. Even with a posa:l.b1e tota1 of 310 acres. by 1980
Eng1e wood w:l.11 be behind in amount of park space provided. with a
projected need of about 577.5 acres (10.5 acres o~ park ~or every
1.000 peop1e) at that time. Tbe new parka o~fer not on1y more space
for recreation than the o1d syatea did. but they are a1ao 1ocated
within the separate neighborhoods of the City. and are aore easi1y
reache d. Severa1 neighborhoods sti11 considered deficient in park
space are indicated on the inc1uded map.
Eng1ewood City Park was a product of the citizens. Its swimming
poo1. miniature train. ~1ower garden. tennis courts. baseba11
fie 1d fence and picnic area bad been bui1t by various organizations
in the City. Perhaps this fact was one of the City•s major 1osses.
as now there is no park that unites the peop1e in such a specia1
way.
Th e peop1e of Eng1ewood probab1y won•t n1ive bappi1y ever after·•
with Cindere11a City and the changes it bas precipitated. The
changes in the City have been goo d ~o r the most part. though prob-
1 e ms have arisen. Near1y everyone bas en~oyed the improved shopping
faci1ities. Some peop1e have ~e1t inconvenienced by additiona1
traf~ic. and a few have moved out of the area ~earing 1ower property
e va1uations. Severa1 downtown merchants have fe1t that their trade
has ~a11en off due to the new coapetition--others fee1 it bas he1ped.
Th e re is 1itt1e doubt. however. that Cindere11a City bas changed
Eng1ewood. and that most of the changes have benefited the coaaunity
great1y.
Looking into the f uture. Eng1ewood wi11 probab1y see many mor e
changes brought about by its new ro1e as a retai1 center. This
brings to mind another question: ·~i11 Cindere11a City •1:1.ve
happi1y e ver after' with the peop1e of Eng1ewood?n Depending on
a 1arge market for its existence. Cindere11a City wi11 de•and the

peop1e into the area. the construction of •any mu1ti.-fa.mi.1y units.

physica1 progress. As a suburban sate11ite ci.ty. sing1e-fami1y
residentia1 1and use has a1ways predominated ; wi11 the peop1e of
Eng1ewood be wi11ing to adjust their 1ivea to these changes?

POPULATION A.Joo&> DWELLING UNIT DENSITIES: RESIDENTIAL ZOJiJE DIS"JE.ICTS
A sign~f icant indicator of ~be degree to which a city is deve1oped
~s the density of its deve1o~ent and its popu1ation. Popu1ation
and dwe11ing unit densities are often •ore •eaniogfu1 than tota1
popu1ation and dwe11ing unit figures. for they te11 either bow
crowded or bow dispersed the popuLation is. A great dea1 can be
determined fro~ density figures, especia11y if such ioforaation is
coup1ed with a broad know1edge of the area under study.
Computation of the average number of persons and dwe11ing units
p e r acre is significant in many types of p1aooing. such as in deter-
mining appropriat e s i z e s f or schooLs . water and sewe r service. parks ,
fir e and po1ic e f aci1it i es . e tc .• and aLso where additiona1 faci1~t~es
are need ed ~
In Tab1e 33 . th e s e dens~ty ~igures have been tabuLated ~ The
residentia1 zone d~stricts encoapaas an area of 1.952 u&kb1e acres
(tb£s 1nc1u~be to~a1 acreage •inus that used for streets and
a11eys) and have a tota1 popuLation of 32,011~ It has been deter-
mined that an average of 16.4 persona dwe11 on each acre of resi-
d e ntia11y zone d 1and ~n Eng1ewood~ However, tb~s figure ~aries in
the d ifferent zone districts, as wi11 be noted~ An average bui1ding
density or 6.1 dwe11ing units per acre occurs in the City. This
figure aLso varies from zone district to zone district~
The Sing1e-fami1y zone Districts within the City have an average
of 3 .3 persons per dwe11ing unit, and the Two and Mu1ti-£aai1y zones
have an average-aT 2 .8 per dWeTYing unit~ Tbis i& very simi1ar to
the findings of the Co1orado Depart-~of Highways in their Denver
•etropo1it.a.n ~ Transportation Study.
In Tab1e 34 , th e tbeoretica1 aaximua popu1ation and dwe11ing-uoit
aensity for Eng1ew00d 1s tabuLated~ These figures have been deter-
mine d by figuring the aaount of 1and that ~•Y actua11y be used for
dwe11ing space according to reguLations of the present Coaprehensive
Zoni ng Ordinance. This tab1e indicates. according to present zoning
regu1ations, how ~any dwe11ing& can be coafortab1y 1ocated on an
acre o~ Land, and, in turn. tbe average nu~ber o~ persons per acre
which the City of Eng1ewood wi11 be ~b1e to acco.a~te in the
future .
Severa1 ass~ption& have been u.ed in forau1atiog tbe aaxLaua dens ities .
It was assu.ed that tbe Denver •etropo1itan Tran&portation Study•s
figures of 3 .6 peop1e per dwei11ng 1D Single xa~IIy Zones -~a
peop1e per dwe11ing in tbe Two-and •u1ti-fa•i1y ~ones were correct
approximBtions for Eng1ewood~ Tbe 8~ of tbe 1and in residentia1
zone s devoted to dwe11ing& was considered d eve1ope d comp1ete1y in
its int e nd e d residentia1 use. whether sing1e-faai1y, £wo or mu1ti-
fami1y residences (the re•aining 1~ was devoted f or pub1ic and
s em .1 -pub1ic uses)~
Th e 1ast two co1umns ref1ect the purpose of this Tab1e_ The aaxi•u.
n umbe r of dw e 11.1.ng units and ._axi.-.ua popu1at:ioo within each zone .i..s
giv e n ~ Th e maxLaum popu1ation that cou1d 1ive i n Eng1ewood under
t h provisions of tbe present Zon~ng Ord inance wou1d be 90 .660
p e rsons . Tbese 90,660 peop1e wou1d be housed in 29.4•2 dwe11 ing
units ~ These figures ~•Y be ca-pared with tbe tota1 n~bers of
e xisting dwe11ing units and the tota1 existing popu1a.tion within
e acb r e sidentia1 zone district ~
It can b e noted that severa1 o~ tbe ~igures for existing d ensi~y
a1ready exceed the maxi•um d ens~ty . This 1s ~n £be ouaber of dwe~1-
ing units per acre, and 1s traced to tbe ~ac~ that •any houses in
tbe City were bu i1t on s•a11 1ots before tbe present zoning regu-

Tbe .aximua ~igures wbicb have been given are obvious1y not obso1ete.
but s£~p1y rer1ect the requ~reaenta in tbe present Zoning Qrd~nance.
It ~& apparent that the R-3, or Mu1ti-faai1y Zone Distr~cta, are
rar from •eeting their potentia1 ~axi.ua deve1o~ent. and the
deve1opmen t of •u1ti-raai1y housing ••Y proceed for so-e ti•e be1ore
~ax~u~ densities are approached. It wou1d be safe to predict that
every acre wi11 not be deve1oped to its abso1ute capacity. Scattered

The Land Use acreages listed above for the City of Englewood have been altered
to include the street and alley acreages within the various other land use
classifications, since no street and alley designations were 1ade for the other
municipalities. For exaaple, 53.0% of the street and alley acreage was included
within the single-faaily land use category, 2.1% within the two-family listing,
and so forth. This allowed the data to be comparative with the oth er municipalities.

This ana1ys~s shows that Eng1ewood is probab1y the most comp1ete1y
d e v e 1oped 1arge sate11ite city in the Denver Metropo1itan area .
This cou1d be du e to th e ~act that Eng1ewood is one o~ the o1dest
c1t1 e s in the area. and because o£ its proximity to the Mother City.
A1so . Eng1ewood has bad reasonab1y good pub1ic transportation avai1-
ab1e ~rom its Core Ar ea to the ~ob market in Denver ~or many years.
It is in~e resting that many of t h e o1der homes are within reasonab1e
wa1king distance of the Core Area and pub1ic transportation. Then
too. it is quite evident that it bas b een the desire of the resi-
d ents in this area to 1ive in comparative1y sma11. one-story sing1e-
fami1y homes. At the tim e these hous es were buil.tp there was suf-
ficien~ l.and avail.abl.e that this type o£ devel.opment was practical..
With this predom i nant devel.opment in sing1e-fami1y dw e11i ng units p
vacant .. bui l.dabl.e •• l.and has become increasingl.y scarce in the C ity p
and now we find that onl.y 1.7$ o r the 1and i s idl.e. In contrast.
the average percentage of vacant l.and in the ci ties with which
Engl.ewood was c ompare d is 51..8%. Onl.y Thornton . with 27.3% of
its l.and vac an t. approaches t h e po int or deve l.opment that Engl.ewood
enj oys . It shoul.d be pointed out. howeverp that for the purposes
of this study ... vacant l.and•• incl.udes cropl.and p pastu.rep wood e d
areas and l.ands d e voted to animal. husbandry and horticul.ture .
MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT . In co•paring the amount of l.and zoned
or-u&ed for mu1t1 £am£1y d e v el.opaent in Engl.ewood with comparabl.e
cities throughout the nation . it is interesting to note that we
have about one -hal.f as much mul.ti-famil.y use as the average of
t hose cities . A co•parison just within t~nver Metropol.itan
Area shows that Engl.ewood and Littl.eton have the highest percentage
o£ mul.ti-famil.y us e. Howeverp this is so•ewhat •isl.eading ; becaus e
Aurora had a 1arger total. acreage o~ mu1ti-famil.y usep but because
the City itse1f is so much 1arger, t h e p erce ntage is l.e ss.
As t::o the percentage o £ l.and ~for m.u1ti-£ami1y use within th e se
several. cities. both Gol.den and Westminster have a greater per-
centage of their area zone d for mu1ti-fa•il.y use , with Go1den having
14 .2% compared t o 6.7%-wTTfiin Engl.ewood . Each of the cities used
for comparison bad l.ess than 5o-:L o£ its llu1ti-f.__i1y Zone District
d e ve1oped in actual. mu1ti-fami1y ~-
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. A•ong those cities studied when using
z.on1ng as the crit:eri:a. two citie• stand out as beiog •"J. ndustr.i.a1 . ••
Th e s e are Com.erce City and Engl.ewood with 46 -~ of the 1and in
Commerce City z one d £or Iodustria1 use and 26.7% of Engl.ewood zone d
£or Industrial. use . The Ci£y of Litt1etoo woul.d b e third in the
amount.. of" tndust.ria1 Zoning , with 8 .5%-It shoul.d b e no ted t:hat:
~h1s figure does no t ~ncl.ud e the recent Gates annexation to L i~t1et on.
This invo1ves some 763 acre&p a11 of which have been zoned f or a
Pl.anned Industria1 Park . which puts Litt1eton high in tbe ranks o f
those cities with a l.arge amount of ipdustrial.l.y ~ l.and.
I t is inte resting to compare thes e figures with the actual. Industria1
l.and use figures . as qu ite often a 1arge proportion of a city•s
vacant l.and 1i e s wit hin the Industria1 areas . In Comaerce City ,
for exampl.e . o n1y about one-third o f the Industrial. areas are
act..ua11y deve1oped with IndustriaL l.and ...llll..!iL· Within Eng1ewood.
9 .4 % of the City is devel.oped in 1ndustr~a1 ~. but th~s invo1ves
onl.y one-.rourth of the tota1 ar e a~ f or I.ndustry .
The a v erages for t h e 1oca1 sate11ites is 8.7 ~ of their 1and in
1ndus-cria1 Zoning and 3 .0<;L in Industria1 Land Us e.

Loca tio n i s o ~ u ~•os ~ i Mpor t ance to industry and ~n this respect ,
no t e v e ry ci t y is as L o r t unat e as Eng~ewood . In fact , in viewing
a map o f th e M etr opo~1tan Are a . it c an b e seen that at this time,
Indus t rial. zon1ng a n d us e i.e gr e at e st in th e so-ca11ed -.industrial.
bet.t.•• al.ong t:h e South P"Tii't.t..e R i v e r and tbe various rail. l.ines .
Engl.e wood l.i e s w~t..b i n this b e l.t.. Since i•proved access and services
hav e b e en provid e d i n the Industrial. zone Distric ts o~ Engl.ewood.
th e rat e of indus~rial. growth bas 1ncreaaed substantia1.1y . There
woul.d s e em t..o b e e very r e ason to bcl.ieve that industrial. growth wi11
continu e ~o take pl.ace in the satel.l.ite cities , particu1arl.y if such
requir e ments as g ood acc ess from and to ••jor traffic routes and
ra~1 1in e s . and municipa1 and ut~1~ty co•pany serv~ces are provided .
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. The City o ~ Eng1ewood bas comparative1y 1ess
Land zoned tor Reta11 Business and a greater amount of 1and zoned
for Service Business than the average of th e 1oca1 sate11ite cities .
w -h11e the average percentage zoned for Retai 1 Use is 6 . 9% and the
average percentage zoned for Service Use is 2.9%. Eng1ewood has
provided 4.()f;l. £or _Retai1 Business, and 6.2'%-£or Service Business.
Some municipa1ities such as Brighton. Go1den . and Litt1eton have
over 10% of their tota1 1and zone d for Retai1 Business. None of
the other cities in this stu~e as great a percentage of 1and
zon e d for Service Business as Eng1ewood. This is due to the
~ion of much of Eng1ewood•s Service D1strict a1ong South Broad-
way extending north into Denver and south into Litt1etoo , and the
concentration o~ B-2 zone Districts at Be11eview and South Broad-
way and Be11eview and South Federa1 Bou1evard .
It is s1gni~icant to note that. in tota1 business zoOing. Eng1ewood
bas s1ight1y more than the average ~he 1oca1 sate11£te cities?
w~~h 419 acres. or 10.2%. of the City commerc~a11y zoned. wbi1e the
average is 345 acres. or 9.8~, of the total. City area.
In considering Commercia1 Land Use. it was found that Eng1ewood
has a greater percentage of commeFcia1 use than the average of
the sate11ite cities studied. both 1ocaTTY and nationa11y. Of
the cities studied in the Denver Metropo1itan area~ Eng1ewood bas
the greatest percentage of Commercia1 Land Use with 9.7%-The
average for the 1oca1 cities is 3.1%. Tbis-wQu1d see• to support
Eng1ewood •s re1ative1y high position in the vo1ume of trade within
the St:ate.
PUBLIC AND SEMI-PUBLIC LAND. Seeming1y, the re1ative aaount of
pubL1c and semi pubLic Tii"ii'a use wou1d be sim.i1ar froe city to city ;
however. this apparent1y is not the case. As Tab1e ebows? the
percentage o£ 1and devoted to Publ.ic and Srleai-pub1ic Use ranges
Lrom a l.ow of on1y 1.5% in Cherry Hi11s . to a high of 9.8% in
Aurora . The average of the cities. 6.1%. is quite siai1ar to ~be
~o~a~ Cor Eng1ewood which is 6 .8~.
··op£!1i•• ZONING. ·•open ·· or ·~gricul.tura1•· Zone c1assifications wb1cb
e ncompass Large amounts of 1and are found 1n severa1 of the 1oca1
munic1pa1ities . Eng1ewood does not have such a zone c1asaification,
du e primari1y to the 1ack of open space avai1ab1e ~or this type of
1and use .
PARK LAND. Su£ficient park 1and is an important consideration for
eve?y progressive m.unicipa1ity . The present high standards. wbi1e
p e rhaps idea1. are se1dom achieved in today•s city. Nevertbe1ess,
it is hope d that Eng1ewood's park program wi11 continue to grow.
Pres e n~1y 106 acres. or 2 .6% o~ the City of Eng1ewood. is in park
1and a The average of the other 1oca1 munic~pa1ities is 2.3%.
Cherry H11~s. wi~b its £ine go1f course. exceeds a11 o£ the other
1oca1 cities surveyed in the percentage of 1and devoted to parks .

NOTE: ~~ sbou1d be ment~oned that in aost cases, the tota1 acreage
~or each sate11ite city studied, as 1iated on the two tab1ea of
zone and 1and use comparison, do not correspond. According to Denver
Regional. Council. or Governaents , this is due to the di~rerent method&
by which the data was co11ected and co•pi1ed. This does not preaent
a serious prob1e•. since the purpose or these comparisons ia to
present a re1ative picture o r these cities as compared to Engl.ewood.
IN SUMMARY-As a su•.ation or this comparison study, it can be
Baid t:hat: Eng1ewood is one or the ol.deat .. sate1.1:1.ten citie• :l.n the
Denver area. and. posaib1y due to ita cl.ose prox:l.aity to the Mother

He.nn...i..ngson, Du.rha..m "" Ri.c:hard..son, I.nc. were present to discuss the jo.i..nt
sewaqe pLant betw-een Eng1ewood and Li.tt1eton. M.:c. Bredar suzmD&ri.z:.ed
the report submitted to the two ci.ti.es. The City of Li.ttl..eto.n wou1d
con.struct the i..nte.rceptor sewer from their pl..ant to the Eng1.ewood p1ant.
The Ci.ty o£ En.g1ewood cou1d pu.rc.h&se a portion of the .i..nt.erc::ept.or si..n.c::e
i.t wou.1d go through the Ci..ty o£ En.q1.-ood. Both c:.i.ti.es -oul...d construct
a joi...nt --ate trea~t p1a..nt to be 1oca.ted adjoi..ni..ng the present
E:ng1ewood pLant. The pLant operators w~d work for a manager who
wou1d report to both the Di...rect.ora of Ot.i.1.i.ti.es in both cities. A joint
operating budget wou1d be contro11ed. by the ci.t.i.es. The cost to the
c.i.ti.es of the operation -aul.d be .i..n proportion to their vol.UIDe of waste.
The concept i.s that i.t • s cheaper to tr-t ,....ste at one bi.g pLant rather
t.h.a.n a p1an.t .i.n both c.i.t:Les. Each city woul.d continue to operate thei.r

p:l...a.nt rece..nt1y coalpl.eted rea1..i.zed by the year 1975.
The City of Littl.eton will. be at capacity by the end of 1.972,
so it wil.l. be necessary to divert over capac.i.ty upon cc.a.p1eti.on of the
i...nterceptor sewer. Estimated cost of the joint pl...ant, i.ncl.udi.ng al.l.
administrative costs i.s $10,000,000. W.i.th 75• f.i..:nan.ci...ng by the
Envi...ro.nment.al. Protection Agency,. the cities a.re l.e.ft with $2,500,000
of cost to share.
Councilman Lay inquired as to whether any estimates of cost
of future pl.ant e:xpan.si.on were :i...ncorporated into the project. M.r.
Bredar repl.i.ed that h.i.a fLrm had .. ae no further expansion pLans, but
that a certain aDaOUDt of re.ae.rve bu11.dup was anti.ci.pat.ed .i.n the operating
budget.

REZOl'I~MG
c .a:se #16-72
1. Insofar as this particu1ar property is concerned.
it i& bordered on both its east and its west by coa-
-ercia1 uses. TO its west i& a property having
approx~ate1y 75 feet frontage on Be11eview which is
operating tbe business (by right or prior non-confor.aing
use) of an aabu1ance service.
2. I~ the present app1ication were granted. the
reaainiag R-3-A district woU1d sti11 provide near1y
two b1oc:k.s of ... buff:e.r:Lng•• betwe-en this use ancl the
R-1 d~strict to the west.
3. Due to tbe topography and present street patterns
within this district. the property here invo1ved is
rather ••iso1ated••. in the sen.se that the natu..ra1
access to any au1ti-£.-i1y deve10P.ent o f the area due
the south and southeast wou1d not be ~roa Be11eview.
but wou1d be fraa either Lebow or fro. Mir--onte.
To tbe app1icants• know1edge. this area was origina11y
zoaed by the City. short1y after its annexation in 1965.
There have been few changes in the zoning in the neigbborboocl

that p1ans are being made to deve1op this 1and with mu1ti-
1aai1y residentia1 uses. under the P1anned Deve1opment District.
To the LMmediate west. is a non-conforming use. an
aabu.1ance service... A pe.r-..it was issued by the Arapahoe County
eo.aissioner& for this aabu1ance service prior to the annexa-
tion of the area to tbe City.
The genera1 deve1opaent of the area wou1d be ca.aercia1

and aing1e-f--i1y residentia1 units to the nortb and northwest,
and aiac1e-faai1y residentia1 units to the west.

Backgroond of Previous Act~on:
~~-area was annexed to the City on Ju:l..y 4. 1964.
Even before the annexation. severa1 •eet~ngs were he1d
by the ~ty Counci1. P1anning OO..i&&ion and staff o~ tbe City
ol Eng1ewood with the property owners ~n the area to consider
the zoning o~ tbe 1and fo11owing the annexation of the area
to the City.

In the ._eanti.me. 1it~gation wa.& cc::.uaenced by Harry A.

Even though a suit had been brought. against the City in
the annexation action. the City proceeded with tbe zoo~.
proceeding on the assumption that tbe annexation was va1id
unti1 the Court found it inva1id.
On Dece-.ber 14. 1964. County Judge Naug:l..e ru.1ed. the
annexation of the 118 acres invo:l..ved was void since pet.it.~ona
were passed by Eng1ewood officia1a instead of being initiat-ed
by residents in the area and then the Counci1 passed on the
correctness of those petitions. This was the on1y ob3ection
considered in the ru1ing. even though 13 ob3ection& bad been

reDder a decision on the City•s appea1 of Judge Naug:J.e•s

and in March o~ 1965~ property owners, residents and busioess-

to tbe area unti1 the Supreme Court cou1d bear and deter.aine
tbe appea1 to Judge Naug:J.e•s ru1ing. Arapahoe County took
.,ju.r:l..&dic. tio·n of the area.
Wbi1e the disputed area was ~nder Arapahoe County

quested tbe County to change tbe zoning of the southwest

County B-5 (Thoroughfare Business) and R-4 (Mu1ti-faai1y
&eaidentLa1) to D-3 Ceo--unity Business) in order that a K-Mart

rezone the property over the ob~ections of the City of Litt1eton
and the City of Eng1ewood,. to pe,r,ait the constru.cti.on of the
~-Mart Store, retaining an 80-foot strip of 0 (Open) zoning on
the west side of the property, which was to serve as a buffer
between the eo-.ercia1 deve1op.en~ and the residentia1 de-
ve1opment to the west.
A bui1ding permit for the foundation and footings for
the K-Kart Store was issued by the County even though the
COunty Zoning was not yet fina1, and about the s-.e t~e. the
Co1orado Supreme Court ru1ed in favor of the City, returning
the 1aad to Eng1ewood.
Tbe ~-Mart property extended into the area which bad
been zoned R-3-B by the City in its previous action, so in
1966, the C~ty initiated tbe rezoning of Lots 1 and 2, and 3,
Ew~Dg Subdivision, and Lot 16, Interurban Addition, rraa R-3-B

It is the op.iniczt. of the st:af-r. that this l..and ca.n be
devel..oped under the present zoning, which devel..opment wou~d be
ca.patibl..e with the area.
There are 254.2 acres of l..and in the Ci~y zoned B-2

l..and zoned for ca.aercial.. use in the City of Eng1ewood.
Tbe Denver Uetropol..itan Area Transportation Study:
Land Use Report, suggests that 2.56 acres o:f Coaaerci.a.l.. l..and
are needed within a city per 1..,000 popul..ation. Using this
reca.aendation with Eng1ewood•s popul..ation of 34.000, the

according to the Land Use Study, to an average or 3% in other-

The 1965 Average Dail..y count of tra~fic, both directions

A count taken in June of 1972, shows an averace week-day count
o~ 1..7,224 cars. It is the opinion of the staff that this factor
does not necessaril..y ,justify tbe ex-tension of c~.rcia1 zoa.ing
