· What is Blueprint Denver’s vision for established residential areas designated as Areas of Stability?

· How effective have past zoning fixes such as the “pop-top” ordinance and “Quick Wins I and II” been in addressing residential development issues, and what still needs to be done?

· What regulatory tools are available now and how can they help us achieve our future vision?

· How is the citywide Zoning Code Update addressing residential development issues ,and what’s next?


Join us for a community conversation to answer these questions and more related to residential development and rezoning. A panel of representatives from the Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation, Denver Community Planning and Development Department, Denver Board of Realtors, and Homebuilders Association of Metropolitan Denver will discuss policies, procedures and effectiveness of various regulatory approaches. A range of topics will be covered including R-3 to R-2 and R-2 to R-1 rezonings, legislative zoning map amendments, “pattern books,” overlay districts (including zoning and landmark preservation) and demolition permit process improvements. After the panel discussion, the forum will conclude with a question and answer session.

Because meeting space is limited attendees are asked to RSVP no later than Friday, March 2, 2007 by contacting Valentina Guereca at 720-865-3223 or Valentina.Guereca@ci.denver.co.us.
