Land Use

The Land Use Circle meets to discuss things like rezonings and other ways that land could be used for various purposes here in Villa Park. This circle typically meets in response to requests we get from the city, so be sure to join our discord to stay up to date on our what we’re doing!

Current Projects

Unlocking Housing Choices (UHC)

UHC is a proposal from the city’s Community Planning and Development (CPD) to allow more “missing middle housing” in Denver’s neighborhoods. This would allow more units and affordability in places like Villa Park, so we supported the initial proposal from CPD. However, after this initial proposal, CPD announced a rollback of some of the core features of UHC, weakening the proposal. Our group has drafted a letter to Councilwoman Torres asking that the initial proposal be restored, as it will better serve Villa Park.

Rezone of 4600 W. 10th Avenue

The Land Use Circle met with the owner of this parcel, who wants to add two duplexes on site instead of the single unit that sits there now. This made a lot of sense to our group, with its proximity to public transportation and an elementary school. In fact, it seems that even adding a few more units on site might make sense. Regardless, our group supported the zoning changes and drafted a letter to the owner expressing this support.
