Our work to create more affordable housing options is expanding! Over the last few months, the Affordable Housing Zoning Incentive Project has shifted gears to include other tools, along with zoning, to help address housing needs in Denver. Continuing our work with the Department of Housing Stability, the new Expanding Housing Affordability Project will now involve:

The 2021 bundle of text amendments proposes code changes to correct and clarify our existing zoning rules and make small adjustments for consistency with adopted city policy. The proposed changes include making off-street parking requirements more flexible for affordable housing, removing duplicative standards for Accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and more.
