The Planning Commission will hold a study session tomorrow night at 6:30 in City Council Chambers. They will discuss a request received from citizens of the Central Neighborhoods.
When a 44-unit affordable housing project was proposed for the corner of 24th and Ford Streets, the neighborhood was utterly dismayed by the bulk, density, and urban appearance of the proposed building. They felt like an unwelcome piece of downtown Denver was being shoved into a residential neighborhood in small-town Golden.
The neighbors are suggesting a couple of changes to local zoning that should reduce tension regarding future projects. First, they suggest that any new buildings north of 24th street be restricted to two stories (the 44 unit building would have been three stories). Second, they’re asking that new buildings cover no more than 40% of the lot, and that they include some greenery between the building and the sidewalk. This, again, is a reaction to the 44 unit place, which filled the property from curb to curb.
Planning Commission will also discuss their workplan for 2018. Learn more….
