Evans Medical Center in south Denver says it has had no say in a rezoning proposal put forth by City Council member Kendra Black, which could shut it down.
The Evans Medical Center moved into its current property at 4700 E Iliff Avenue in the University Hills Neighborhood of south Denver in 2020. Since then, it has provided care for 6,000 patients — many of whom are veterans, refugees or homeless.
On top of that, Vatan says the center has been treated unfairly when compared to the other property owners set to be affected by the changes. "If you are homeless, we do not charge you. Your services are free," Vatan notes."If you are a child under 16, we don't charge you. Your services are free. If you are a disabled veteran, your services are free."
in 2017. The initiative calls for communities to work with city officials to create plans for their areas to guide and make recommendations for how growth should occur throughout Denver's various neighborhoods. The Evans Medical Center falls within the area covered by theThat plan recommends density and tall buildings near I-25 and the Colorado light rail station and lower height restrictions moving into the neighborhood.
Black points out how the Evans Medical Center has had the opportunity to participate in community meetings and provide feedback on the NSAP for the multiple years that the plan has been in development. Vatan says that the center had been aware of the NSAP, but it hadn't felt compelled to be involved in the planning process because the first draft of the plan recommended a height limit of five stories for the area that the medical center property falls on — which the center was OK with.
He claims the medical center was not notified of the rezoning until late February. Black initially confirmed this to, saying in a phone conversation:"All of the property owners found out about [the rezoning] at the same time [in February]." But in a CORA'd email Black sent to members of CPD on January 19, she said:"Here are 2 PowerPoints that I presented to Denver Academy and to Clermont Christian Living.
"I don't know if [Black] told Jarvie or not, but Jarvie never communicated that with us because we were not under contract at that time," he tellsOn January 4, Mark Twarogowski, the Head of School for the Denver Academy — which is the adjacent property of the Evans Medical Center — sent an email to Black in which he said,"I think it would make sense for you to present the 'Whole zoning package' proposal to our Board .
"We're not going to sit there and be the only property that self imposes this three story limit while the other properties get to build whatever they want," Twarogowski adds.
