From updating citywide plans for the next 20 years to adopting building codes that put Denver at the forefront of building safety and sustainability, your Community Planning and Development staff worked with community partners across Denver to achieve major milestones in 2019. And we’re not slowing down in 2020.

Laura Aldrete – “I’m ready to hit the ground running on implementing the vision that so many of Denver’s people have had input on so we can create vibrant, thriving neighborhoods in every part of the city.”

Under the leadership of new CPD Executive Director Laura E. Aldrete, we will continue planning in neighborhoods across the city and working with residents and local groups to address the impact of development on our communities. We will create and update policies and codes that reflect our city’s values and planning efforts as well as community and customer needs. We’ll continue advocating for smart design and valuable community benefits (like quality open space, attainable housing prices, daycares and other services, renewable energy, and more) in all major development projects, and we’ll continue improving our permitting processes for easy online transactions for customers and residents.

And we can’t do it without you!
