6. Urban Renewal and Redevelopment Consulting Proposal — Britt Nelson,
NewCity Development

Nelson discussed his firm's Urban Renewal and Redevelopment Consulting
proposal to assist RWR in carrying out the vision and revitalization of each of

7. Community Development Referral — 3490 Youngfield/Wells Fargo Bank
The Community Development Department has received an application of a
Planned Commercial Development administrative amendment to the final
development plan for construction of a Wells Fargo Bank in the Applewood
Village Shopping Center at 3490 Youngfield Street. Redevelopment will
consist of demolition of the existing bank building and reconstruction,
including landscaping improvements. The Code requires review by RWR of
land use applications in an urban renewal area. The Urban Renewal Concept
Plan recommends that the subject property be considered for commercial uses.
It was moved by Janet Leo and seconded by James Bahrenburg that
RWR finds the administrative amendment to the final development plan
for property at 3490 Youngfield to be in conformance with the I-
70/Kipling Corridors Urban Renewal Plan. The motion passed
unanimously.
8. 44 and Wadsworth Redevelopment Update
Patrick Goff reported that Jefferson County has informed RWR that a HUD
stipulation would be triggered if CDBG funds are used to demolish the
Antique Mall building that would make it necessary to pay relocation costs for
every vendor in the building. A meeting has been arranged between the City,
the County and Regional HUD office to discuss the situation. Staff is still
working with the County to a list of items that will not require relocation of
tenants. This includes a traffic light at Vance, demolition of transmission
building, and a traffic study.
Mr. Goff also reported that the Library Board informed the County that they
are not interested in building a library at this site.
