New Code Denver Zoning Recommendations:
Please note, these recommendations are to be reviewed in conjunction with the map, which you can download here. Also, it may be beneficial to visit www.newcodedenver.org to review the zoning code key.
(1) Change to C-IX-5 on both sides of Kalamath from 3rd Ave. to south of 1st Ave. [I-A]
(no number) Recommend C-MX-5 for both sides of Kalamath, and possibly Lipan, from 6th Ave. to 3rd Ave.
(2) Change to U-MS-2 for the current B-1 zone at 1st Ave. and Acoma; change to U-MS-3 for the current R-3 zones behind Goodwill and Security Service Credit Union (north and south of Archer); change to U-MS-3 for the historic telephone exchange building currently zoned B-1 on Bayaud just west of Broadway. [MS-5]
(3) Choose U-RH-2.5 for the entire area currently zoned R-2-A. [U-TU-B1 or U-RH-2.5]
(4) At the NW corner of Alameda and Cherokee, the committee felt that the proposed C-RX-5 zone sufficiently addresses the concerns that led to BHNA's previous opposition of the R-MU-30 rezoning in this location. The committee does not recommend that BHNA request any change to the New Code Denver map here.
(5) Change to U-MX-2 for a selection of existing retail/commercial buildings that serve the neighborhood. The selection to be made by BHNA, starting with a list to be supplied by Caryn Wenzara of CPD. [U-TU-B1 or U-RH-2.5]
The committee, having drawn Caryn Wenzara's attention to items (6) and (7), did not feel a further recommendation was necessary.
About the BHNA Zoning Committee:
The BHNA Zoning Committee is a "standing committee" of BHNA, whose members are nominated by the Board of Directors and approved by the general membership. The BHNA bylaws empower the Zoning Committee as follows (condensed):
1. Receive all applications and correspondence regarding zoning and land use including but not limited to: Alley Vacations, Special Use Permits, Requests for Variances, Zoning Changes, New building & Development, Liquor Licensing
2. Investigate, review and evaluate these issues and make recommendations to the general membership or the board, or take a public position if there is insufficient time to refer it to the membership or the board, or take no position if threat is perceived as minimal or nonexistent.
As implied above, most final decisions on zoning-related issues are made by the general membership or the Board of Directors.
The Zoning Committee meets monthly, currently on the third Tuesday each month, at 6:30 p.m., at 333 West Bayaud Ave (the Bayaud Industries building, entrance at the fenced parking area). The public is welcome at all Zoning Committee meetings. From time to time the Zoning Committee also holds emergency meetings to consider issues requiring swift action. Notice of such meetings may be short, but should be posted along with other Zoning Committee news on the BHNA calendar. You can reach the Zoning Committee by email at zoning@bakerneighborhood.org.
Like other standing committees, appointments to the Zoning Committee must be made by the Board of Directors and confirmed by the general membership. Prospective committee members and new members who haven't yet been confirmed are encouraged to attend committee meetings.
