As part of the Denver’s ongoing effort to expand housing availability and choice, the city is looking at potential updates to the Denver Zoning Code, zoning map, and Former Chapter 59 zoning to allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in all residential areas of the city. ADUs are self-contained, smaller living spaces that are an extension of an existing property – often called mother-in-law suites and casitas.
You’re invited to participate in an upcoming virtual town hall to learn more about the proposed zoning code text amendment and what it might mean for your property. The same information will be presented at both town halls.

Additionally, a draft of the text amendment will be available for public review and comment in the coming days on the Citywide ADUs project page.
This proposed zoning code text amendment is sponsored by Councilmembers Sarah Parady (at-large), Chris Hinds (District 10) and Darrell Watson (District 9), in partnership with the Department of Community Planning and Development and Mayor Mike Johnston. It will be complemented by a proposed zoning code map amendment that will ensure properties are rezoned to reflect the goals of the text amendment. The proposal is expected to go to City Council for a vote this fall. |
