MEETING OF THE COMMUNITY
April Meeting
Tuesday, April 21, 2026
6:00 - 7:30
The April meeting will be online. The meeting access credentials will be distributed to the Community in an email to the mailing list.
AGENDA
House Bill 1114, meanwhile, would ban most cities from requiring lots larger than 2,000 square feet to build a house. That would slash lot size requirements by more than two-thirds in many neighborhoods
Denver Proposals
Key 2026 proposals include rezoning areas within 250-1,000 feet of transit and parks for higher density (up to 8 stories), creating "quiet" zoning reforms, and mandating 8-12% affordable units in new developments.
Lakewood Developments
In a special election held on April 7, 2026, Lakewood voters decisively repealed the city's pro-density zoning changes. The proposed ordinances, which were originally passed by the City Council in October 2025, aimed to allow for "gentle density" (incremental) across the city by legalizing duplexes, triplexes, and townhomes in neighborhoods previously restricted to single-family housing.
Zoning that was struck down by referendum
"Missing Middle" Housing: Duplexes, triplexes, and cottage clusters would have been allowed on all residential lots.
Elimination of Parking Minimums: Requirements for off-street parking would have been removed for developments near transit corridors to lower construction costs.
Subdividing Lots: Property owners could have subdivided large lots to build multiple smaller, more affordable units.
Size Caps (McMansion Guardrails): Above-ground square footage for new homes would have been capped (e.g., 4,000–5,000 sq. ft.) to ensure new builds remained in scale with existing homes.

As always if you need the city to address an issue of any kind you may do so by calling 311 or going to https://www.denvergov.org/pocketgov/#/ It is the most effective way to get a response. The more requests they get for the same problem the more likely they’ll address it quicker (tell your friends and neighbors to call too in order to get a better response).
