Community Planning and Development has been conducting city-wide research, analysis and public outreach to identify the problem more clearly, explore alternatives and identify tools to promote improved design outcomes for "slot homes." A slot home is a multi-unit residential structure consisting of attached dwelling units arranged side-by-side and primarily perpendicular to the street. Most dwelling units have an individual, direct entrance to the exterior facing a side lot line or center pedestrian court. Individual vehicular garages are generally located beneath each unit. These efforts will result in a text amendment to the Denver Zoning code in spring of 2018.
