Advancing Equity in Rezoning project UPDATE

This fall, city planners began working with community members to review Denver’s process for rezoning properties and recommend potential updates. The year-long project will focus on implementing city goals around equity, as stated in Blueprint Denver, Denver’s citywide land use and transportation plan.
