In February 2025, Denver’s Community Planning and Development (CPD) Department launched the first comprehensive review of the city’s zoning and urban design regulations (including landmark rules) in nearly two decades. The initiative examines whether CPD’s land use and development rules effectively support Denver’s evolving needs, such as affordable housing, climate resiliency, neighborhood design quality, and process efficiencies.
Over the course of 2025, CPD and its consultant team will conduct stakeholder interviews, focus groups, and development site evaluations to identify where Denver’s zoning and urban design codes do not align with these needs. The team will also review other cities’ zoning codes to research best practices relevant to CPD. Findings will be compiled into a comprehensive report in December 2025. Although the project itself will not create new policies, it will inform future updates to zoning regulations and urban design guidelines.
As part of this important work, CPD is seeking community feedback on key regulatory challenges. Here’s where you come in!
Please take the community survey and share your thoughts on how well the city's land use and development rules are working. The survey, which is also available in Spanish, should take 10-15 minutes to complete and is open now until April 28.
Thank you for your support and participation!
