New Zoning Code for Denver
If your association is located in the City and County of Denver you may want to take a look at the proposed new zoning code. The new code will replace the existing code which is 53 years old. The new code, in development since 2005, is designed to "support a growing economy, a sustainable environment, a diverse mix of housing, strong neighborhoods and a high quality of life."
Because the past zoning has been subject to incremental and inconsistent changes over the last 53 years, it is likely that some communities may find their zoning modified under the new plan. Zoning will be based upon each neighborhoods context as determined by block patterns, lot size, land use, building forms, transportation and parking. The 7 proposed zone types are: suburban, urban edge, urban, general urban, urban center, downtown and special context. Meetings are being held in each district to review the proposed zoning within the district and allow owner feedback on the proposed code. Click here to find your district's meeting date.
