Housing to be a major key of Englewood’s land-use overhaul Zoning changes are first in nearly 20 years BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For the first time in nearly 20 years, the City of Englewood is seeking to overhaul
its land-use code, which guides zoning and development in the city. A major aspect of the new code is poised to address new housing, which has proved to be a major challenge for cities across the metro area, according to Brad Power, director of community development.
“We’re no different from any other community on the Front Range in that we’ve experienced incredible housing pressure,” Power said, adding there’s “been a real run-up in number and size of some of the housing projects” in recent years. As housing prices continue to surge, a historic lack of
housing supply is creating immense demand among metro communities where affordable housing is becoming harder and harder to come by. Power said the city is currently reviewing its housing situation with a report expected in the fall that he hopes will provide a snapshot of Englewood’s housing
needs. “We don’t have hard and fast numbers yet,” Power said. With a new code, the city could allow for rezonings of current land to support denser, mixed-use development, such as condos or apartments. SEE HOUSING, P7

Four decades after a 34-year-old woman was murdered in her Cherry Hills Village home, a suspect will face a second trial for the crime. David Anderson, a 63-year-old Nebraska man arrested in February 2021, will stand trial June 26 in Arapahoe County court after a jury failed to reach a verdict during his first trial in early March. Anderson is accused of raping and murdering Sylvia Quayle in 1981 sometime overnight between Aug. 3 and Aug. 4, according to the Cherry Hills Village Police Department. According to a district court affidavit, Quayle’s body was found by her father, William Quayle, in her home at 3800 S. Ogden St in Cherry Hills Village. SEE COLD CASE, P9
