A. Discussion of Economic Development Strategic Plan
Martin Orner presented the items listed in the Economic Development Strategic Plan and
asked the Commission to establish which items they wanted to set as 1999 accomplishable
priorities. There was discussion concerning the vazious projects.
Alan White suggested that the Commission concentrate the remainder of 1999 on City
Council's priority to upgrade the hotels/motels as well as the Ambassador Program.
The Commission discussed ideas for developing incentives for the hotels/motels to become
more attractive to new business, as well as ideas as to how the Commission could assist the
hotels/motels with improving their image.
It was the consensus of the Commission that Commissioners COLLINS, PLATTER,
AND MATTHEWS would act as EDARC representatives and attend meetings with the
hotel representatives. Staff will keep the Commission informed of hoteUmotet issues
and will arrange a meeting between EDARC and the hoteUmotel representatives within
the next month or two.
After discussion regarding guidelines and goals for the Ambassador Program, it was
the consensus of the Commission to continue discussion to the next regular meeting of
September 21, 1999, when absent Commissioners are present.
Alan White discussed the potential for urban renewal by Auto Nation at the corner of 35'
and Wadsworth. He informed that the laws finding for urban renewal now require four of
the eight factors be found in lieu of one. If this project comes before the City, it will take
priority for the Commission.
B. Discussion of Possible Zoning Code Revisions - Status Report
Martin Orner distributed and discussed the percentage of non-taac generating uses (mini
wazehouses, RV storage, caz/truck sales, equipment sales and rental as well as churches and
schools) within commercial and industrial zones.
The Commission discussed ways in which the City could better preserve its commercial/
industrial areas as well as ideas on how to create a more balanced community and the
incorporation of "mixed uses."
It was the consensus of the Commission to have staff update the percentages and
numbers of non-tax generating uses, prepare an analysis, and mark locations on a
zoning map for the next meeting of September 21,1999. -

plan.
Tuming down the site are a ratt of
discount outlets including Ross Dress
for Less, Hed, Bat6 & Beyond and TJ
Mau. The developer also faited to sell
the project to bookstore ouNeLs which
would be placed at the lig6t-rail statioa
In a telephone interview Friday, Mitl-
er declined to comment on the reporL
"We are tooking at whal caused peo-
ple to say 'aa' and see if we can make
changes lo cause them to say 'yes; "Miller said. '
. Bul Councifwaman Beverly Brad•
shaw accused Miller oF submitting a re.
port t6at is no more lhan a"rehash" of
the same information he provided in
January end again in Marc6. At thet
time the rnuncil sent Mitler back W try
again.
"It Miller is backing us inW a rnmer
for a big•box pian, then I think the mm-
cil has serious decisions lo make."
The lack of a major movie theater
contract also led Forest City - on
6oard to build and market 280 coado-
miniums and 40,000 squere teet of relail
space - to witLdraw fram the projecl
last week.
Forest Cily, currenlly involved in re-
development projecis at the old Lowry
Air Faree base and old SWpletun Air-
port, had beeu an enthusiastic sUpporter
of the cnncept tor the past year.
But spokesman Greg Vilkin said For-
est Cjty made it clear from the begin•,
ning that its participaHon depended an
a major entertainment draw.
"Entertainment brings faot traffic for
t4eretaii shopsand without it, the de~
velopment Wkes on a difFerent charac-
ter - it's not as lively," Viltin sai¢ .
MNler has eWisted developers--
among them Trammel4GYow Ca. and
Lincroln Properties, ¢ow Iegac9 - tu
take over development of the housing
project rejected by Forat City. Brad-
shaw said she is rnnfidwt t6at the croim-
cil's ariginel ancept can still be accom• -
plished: -
She said Niller has by no meem~er .
Lausted prospecta for a movie Weater.
"There are five eLains yet-W rnn-
tact;' Brads6aw said "And Miller 6es
until the 90th (of September) to pro-
duce."
Bradshaw is haping that Miller cen
make the project work in some "11tL
6our" plan that s6e calls "his style" of
operatioa -
Miller has told the rnmcil Nat na-
tional theater chainsare reluctant W
rnmmit W the CityCenter project locat-
ed near West Hampden Aveoue and
South Sanfa Fe Drive. Some chains are
nof eapanding right now•, and others
t6ink the market is already too
crowded.
Resident Casey Stockwetl, a candi-
- date for city councit in November's
~ election, criticizes the city council for
not demanding prompt performance
Erom Mi(ter-Weivgarten. Some chain
will saocer or later reelize the potential
ot the si(e, Stockwell said.
"Anyane who says that at6eater
woWd nnt py there doesnR tnow tLis arv
ea We have a long way to go to a mov-
le," StockwrL said. Besides the drivein
theater acrnss hom the aite, some o[
the nearest Weaten mw are the multi-
~plez in Highlands Ranch and the movie
acreena at Univxisity Hi1La neac Colora-
do Baulevard and Inteiatete 25. '
, Ironically, tt was Millec wLo persuad-
ed a reluctant council to make the en-
tertainment element key to the project,
said rnmcil member Alexandra Haben-
icht.
"One of the things t6at captured peo-
ple's ent6usiasm and imagination was
the entertainment facWr."

Cinderella City
site needs retaHers
By Ginny McK(bben
Oemer Past Stell Wriler -
ENGLEWOOD - When the cily
cuuncil set out 11,„create a lransitori•
ented urban cenkr lo repiace the de-
- - - Yunct Cinderella City mall, lhey wanled
something dilferent - ml just another
"big bos" shopping mall.
With developer Skip Miller, they
dreamed up a cityscape that tocused on
the new lig6t-rail statian there and a gi-
snt cinema•plez. tt biended in urban
hausing, small shops and intimate din-
ing, all in the backdrop of a 6uge ou4
duor piazza-stodded with water [oun-
. lains end sculptures. But le+s than a yeac be[ore the hig6ly
touted July 2QOOopening of the soufh-
wfst lighl-rail iine, the pro)ect appears
. stellEd by the leck ot a big enlertam-
.meot draw, the recent loss ot a major
- bousing and retail developer, and a
lackluster list o[ prospeclive relail fen•
ants.
And lhose disappoinlments could sig-
nal e split belween a city cuuncil un-
willing tn relinquish the vision and mas•
ta developer Miller•Weingarten, wAo
many think aow favors a more tradi-
tional sile ptan.
•'I am still oplimistic we can have an
exciling project. We 6ave a greal plan
and great propetly next lo the lighl-rail
slalian. WhelLer the developer can dr
Iiveq lhat I don't know," said Cily Man-
' ager Gary Sears.
Under current contracts, Miller-
Weingarten has until the end o[ the
month lo come up with a[inal sile plan
far the project, Seacs said. The develop-
er and the city began planning the [u-
ture ot Cinderella City [ive years ago.
The ariginal, am6ilious site plan pro-
v~ ed for demalishing the entire 50-acre
- Cderella City site, eccept for the Fo-
le;'s deparlment store building, which
is being remodeled to house city ot[ices,
the library and cultural erts programs.
The David Taylor Dancers and the Mu-
seum af Ouldoor Arls will move into
15,000 square teel of the building.
The mall has since heen demolished,
and S19 million hes been apent on iotra-
structure, including work on Regional
TranspoAation District structures and
remodeling of the Foley's building.
However, in a report delivered W En-
glewood ot[icials last Friday and ob
tained by The Denver Posl, master de-
veloper Miller-Weingarlen claims
almost m success in luring a movie tho-
ater, retait oullets and c6ain reslau-
rants to the CilyCenler sile. Millec's re•
port suggests lhat telailers want no
paR of an innovative CityCenter but
- might fawr a more lradilional aile
