Councilwoman Gilmore sponsors bill focused on neighborhoods under old zoning code

From Denver Community Planning and Development:

City Council President Stacie Gilmore is sponsoring a bill to make the Denver Zoning Code’s recently-updated definition of “household” effective citywide. Specifically, this bill would affect the approximately 20 percent of the city still under Former Chapter 59, or the “old code,” which was the city’s primary zoning policy document before the 2010 adoption of the Denver Zoning Code. The proposed “bridge amendment” would mean that all households citywide would be under the same rules for how many people can live together.

Virtual Town Hall Meeting 1: 10 a.m., Saturday, March 6, 2021City Council will begin its review of the bill next week. Additionally, Councilwoman Gilmore and Community Planning and Development will host two public meetings to discuss what the change will mean to residents of affected areas.

About the Group Living Project

 
Denver has an immediate need for housing. With the evolving needs of our residents in mind, the challenges of the ongoing pandemic, the renewed push for addressing issues of race and equity, and changes to other housing regulations, city planners has been working with an advisory committee to evaluate the Denver Zoning Code’s rules for “group living.” This evaluation has included a review of land uses and definitions for: households, community corrections facilities, shelters for the homeless, residential care homes, new uses like tiny home villages, and more. Based on this evaluation, planners will recommend updates to the zoning code for some or all of these housing types.
