A significant development is the comprehensive rezoning of properties previously under outdated zoning codes such as Planned Unit Development (PUD), Planned Building Groups (PBG), or community corridor (CC). Spearheaded by Community Planning and Development (CPD) and the District 4, 5, and 6 council offices, this modernization effort aligns with the 2010 zoning code, fostering a more cohesive and inclusive urban environment.
Remarkably, Denver is still operated under two zoning codes, with the old code (Former Chapter 59) dating back to February 11, 1955. About 20% of Denver’s properties fall under this outdated code, and CPD is now working to rezone them into a single code within the NSEAP area. This crucial step to reflect what we heard from residents and to fall in line with the 2010 zoning code
There is an upcoming community open house for residents to learn more about the rezoning proposal , and to share their feedback or talk to a planner one-on-one.
