Presenter: Josh Palmeri, Denver Senior City Planner

Background: “City planners are working with community members to look at how the Denver Zoning Code regulates ADUs. This project will not change where in the city ADUs are allowed, but will look at how they are designed, how they fit in with different types of neighborhoods and block patterns, and how updates to the zoning code may reduce barriers to creating ADUs.”
