INC APPROVES RESOLUTION REGARDING PROPOSED GROUP LIVING ORDINANCE CHANGES
Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation’s (INC) Annual Meeting held on July 17, 2020 via Zoom, had 62 in attendance. Of those, 50 voting delegates represented 41 RNO’s across the city. The three sections of the Resolution shown below were voted on separately and each section passed with 70% voting in favor.
- INC recommends that Denver de-bundle the household definition portion of the proposal and the residential care portion of the proposal.
- INC recommends that Denver not move forward on the new household definition portion of the Text Amendment without implementing a concurrent regulation creating a Rental Registry that will provide further protection for renters in Denver. Such a Registry would be through Excise & Licensing and could require registration, licensing, inspection of all properties being used as rentals.
- INC recommends the City rethink, and make mandatory, outreach by CPD to minority communities, to persons not active in RNOs or receiving communication from RNOs or through social media, to the broader community not reached in the four town halls, and to renters, so as to proactively gather input from all corners of the City. INC strongly recommends that CPD be required to include black indigenous people of color and renters in full discussion for every planning initiative and for work on all proposed text amendments.

Totally oppose this # 20191-0031 group living ordinance for CC neighborhood…..too dense…any number of relatives….parking issues. The sign only said the change would be from 3 to 5 stories…not affordable housing units.
