The Expanding Housing Affordability proposal continues to move through the legislative review process and today was approved by Denver City Council’s Land Use, Transportation & Infrastructure (LUTI) Committee, a big milestone.

Previously, on April 6, a public hearing was held before the Denver Planning Board. The Board reviewed the changes in the proposal that would impact the Denver Zoning Code (DZC). These changes include the proposal's zoning incentives as well as the 38th and Blake rezoning, which is necessary to bring the pilot approach used in this area into the proposed new citywide policy. The Board unanimously voted in favor of these changes.  

The next and final step for the proposal will be a public hearing and vote before the full City Council on June 6. This proposal must be adopted by Denver City Council before it will become effective. 

Proposal materials:

• 2-page policy summary  
• Full policy approach  
• Proposed language for the Denver Zoning Code 
• Public outreach summary (Feb – March 2022) 
• LUTI review draft
