Englewood Overlay District
The Englewood Overlay District is intended to promote robust and sustainable mixed-income neighborhoods.
The district (see map right) is intended to sustain great neighborhoods that are safe, walkable and include a mixture of densities and designs encouraging interaction and pride.
The overlay is intend to enhance neighborhoods, encouraging economic revitalization, and nurturing artistic contributions to the city and region.
The overlay would establish a mixed-use area with neighborhood friendly businesses, live/work units and traditional residences integrated in a manner that maintains the residential character of the area.
A key feature is allowing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) wherein a property owner could construct a second structure on the property they own and where they live. Examples are so called granny flats, in-law suites, or backyard cottages and can be a freestanding structure, an apartment over a garage or a basement apartment. Learn more in this AARP article.
