DO-8 Overlay

Denver City Councilmembers Amanda Sawyer and Chris Hinds have filed a rezoning application to implement the Active Centers and Corridors Use Overlay (DO-8) on parcels along East Colfax from Broadway to Yosemite. The goal is to activate ground-floor uses, create a more pedestrian-friendly environment, and better integrate future development into existing neighborhoods, in accordance with feedback from residents and business owners during the East and East Central Area Plan process. The community outreach for this rezoning included two virtual meetings, which can be watched by clicking the links below, and one in-person meeting at Carla Madison Recreation Center on January 31, 2023.
