Baker Zoning Report
As of July 21, 2003
| Fentress Development (4th & Acoma) | Large development (possibly 200 units) on NE block of 4th & Acoma. | In a second hearing, Landmark again rejected the owner’s proposed plan. Approval may be forthcoming if Fentress agrees to certain conditions, including a height limitation of 6 stories. Demolition of duplex at 428-430 Acoma is on hold. |
| Gates (West) | Cherokee Group Redevelopment of Gates property as Transit Oriented District. | Cherokee (developer) has filed for rezoning from O-1, I-1, I-2 to T-MU-30 with waiver. Pursuant to support of BHNA General membership, BHNA sent letter approving of rezoning. |
| Gates (East) | Gates Representative Redevelopment of Gates property as Transit Oriented District. | Development via Gates Corporation plans to file for rezoning (e.g., to a TMU category). |
| Broadway/Santa Fe/ Alameda/Arizona Rezoning | Rezoning of large area from O-1, I-1, and I-2 to T-MU-30 with waivers and conditions. | This appears to be related to the entire Gates Development. On June 16, City Council approved area as “blighted area”; next step is to get approval of TMU-30. |
| 341 S. Lincoln Street (Golden Bone) | Appeal from order to discontinue maintaining a kennel with outdoor play space and overnight care, which is not permitted in a B-4 zone. | Variance granted (?) |
| 413 Fox | Appeal of Order to discontinue maintaining an enclosed porch that is 9’ 4” into the 20-foot front setback. | Owner argues hardship and need for added protection due to harassment from neighbors. BHNA Zoning Comm. sent a letter to Board of Adjustments that does NOT support a variance. The setback, non-historic style, and likely unpermitted, non-code construction would set a bad precedent. Hearing held July 3, but was continued until November 11 to allow applicant to work with Denver Zoning and Building Dept. to find acceptable solution. |
| 129 W. Irvington Place | R House is vacant, and extremely deteriorated. | House now for sale. No new progress. |
