The New Denver Zoning Code Draft 3 will be posted later today at http://www.newcodedenver.org. This near-final draft will incorporate substantial input from the commercial and residential community following the release of Draft 2.
District 9 residents have been extremely active in the process so far, and Judy is strongly encouraging everybody to stay involved. Your input so far has been invaluable in making the code better, and ensuring that it works for neighborhoods, businesses, and families.
You’ll have multiple opportunities to comment on Draft 3 during November. The comment section at the New Code website is open 24 x 7; you can always use that. If you’d prefer to provide your comments in person or to ask questions of city staff, there will be multiple opportunities to do that as well. Zoning Code Team members from Community Planning & Development (CPD) will hold Q+A sessions in the Webb Building next Tuesday, November 10, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and next Thursday, November 12, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The room number is not yet available; check back at this website and/or the New Code site for that info.
In addition, the City Council, Planning Board, and Zoning Code Task Force will hold two joint “listening sessions” to hear your comments and your questions before the final draft and the formal hearings. If you want to speak, you will need to sign up during the 30 minutes prior to the listed start of each session. Maps and other information will be available for review during that time. Both sessions will be in the Wellington E. Webb Building, 201 West Colfax Ave., Room 4F6/4G2, on the 4th floor. The first will be on Wednesday, November 18, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.; the second will be the next afternoon, November 19, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
